Chapter 742: Chapter 741 Teasing and Counter-Teasing
Wufu thought that, given Ah Jiuâs identity, if they were to travel by water and the distance was so great, they would surely need a grand tower ship, right?
But the ship moored before them was not particularly outstanding or eye-catching; it actually looked more like an ordinary merchantâs vessel.
"Could it be that you listened to what I said yesterday and decided to keep a low profile?" Wufu stood by Ah Jiuâs side and quietly asked.
Ah Jiu was taken aback and didnât understand the meaning of her words for a moment. After thinking it over, he realized she was referring to his identity.
"What are you imagining?" Ah Jiu casually flicked her nose and said, "Traveling by water, there are a few stretches that arenât very peaceful. If we were on one of those grand ships, do you think it wouldnât attract enough attention?"
"So, youâre afraid of being robbed?" Wufu raised an eyebrow and said with a smirk, "I thought, given the Ninth Masterâs identity and courage, you wouldnât be afraid of a few water bandits."
"Itâs not about fear, but avoiding trouble is better than seeking it, isnât it? Besides, this is within the Nanyue Region, not Beiyan," Ah Jiu said indifferently.
Wufu then understood.
If it were their own territory, it wouldnât matter how high-profile they were, but in someone elseâs domain, itâs best not to court disaster; otherwise, the one who suffers is oneself.
"A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, Ninth Master is sagacious," Wufu said with a sidelong glance as she boarded the ship with her hands behind her back.
Ah Jiu laughed and shook his head, following her onto the ship.
Entering the cabin from the deck, Wufu realized that while the ship was unremarkable from the outside, inside it was a whole different world. It wasnât very luxurious, but it had an understated elegance and a quaint charm. The room decorations were all very refined.
"Miss, your room is ready. Would you like to rest for a bit? We still have about half an hour before we depart," Purple Jade asked Wufu.
"No need to rest. Weâll be on the ship for almost a month, isnât that enough time to rest?" Wufu glanced at her room. The two maids had made the beds, which looked very comfortable, and the room was scented with the faint fragrance of orchids, fresh and clean.
Footsteps came from behind her, and turning around, Wufu saw Ah Jiu approaching. She asked, "What about your room?"
There was a flash in Ah Jiuâs eyes as he said teasingly, "What, Wufu, are you so eager to share a room with me?"
Purple Jade and the others barely suppressed a twitch of their lips. The prince was acting too much like a frivolous playboyâoutright flirting with his own lady!
She quietly looked toward Wufu, expecting to see her blush and feel embarrassed, but...
That was not happening!
Upon hearing Ah Jiuâs words, Wufuâs face was neither red nor was her breathing short. Instead, she raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, lightly licked her lips, lifted Ah Jiuâs chin with her index finger, and gave a mischievous smile, "Oh, our little Jiujiu really does know whatâs in your sisterâs heart, huh? You guessed it? Come on, serve me well and there will be a great reward!"
Cough, cough.
Cough, cough, cough.
The people present started coughing, and even those hiding in the shadows almost fell out.
So boldâwhose girl is this, so daring!
Looking at her actions and expressions, she was even more skillful and frivolous than many profligate sons!
Ah Jiu was stunned too, his ears burning red as he stared straight at Wufu, unable to speak.
This expression greatly pleased Wufu, who burst into laughter and turned to go back to her room.
Little one, trying to tease me? When I had a prince wrapped around my finger, you probably didnât even know where you were!
This scene, imprinted in the hearts of many, from then on, they looked at Wufu with admirationâas the first person in the world to dare tease the prince like this!
