A Fighting Spirit (3)
Everyone waited outside the room. After a very long time, they finally saw Princess Longji walk out. She took a seat, put Ye Lang on a table then crouched on it to watch Ye Lang being very angry.
âAlright, alright. Calm down. I wonât lock you up next time, at most youâll get to see my gorgeous body!!â laughed the princess.
âWhat gorgeous? I donât see it,â replied Ye Lang in confusion.
â⊠Youâre still young, you donât know how to appreciate all of this!!â Princess Longji gently poked Ye Lang. To her, Ye Lang looked very peculiar and it was very fun!!
âYou guys⊠Longji, you mean you and himâŠâ The empress dowager frowned. Even cousins should have boundariesâ and they werenât even sure if they were actual cousins!
âWhat are you thinking? Iâve even given him a bath when he was little!â Princess Longjiâs face reddened. She knew what everyone meant, so she had to explain immediately.
âLongji, who IS he?â asked the emperor. Everyone wanted to know.
âHe is my cousin!â
ââŠCousin? Why donât we know about himâŠâ
âYou all donât. I didnât either. I can only say that heâs the thirteenth son of the Ye family, you should understand now!â She frowned again, not sure how to explain the entire situation.
ââŠâ
Upon hearing this, the emperor and empress dowager fell silent. They stared at Ye Lang for a very long time, their expressions getting increasingly complex.
âWho? Who? Does the thirteenth son of the Ye family relate to us?â the little princess peered curiously at Ye Lang. She wanted to touch him but was attacked mercilessly by him!
Ye Lang directly controlled the spirit girl, who pulled the little princess away, âDonât disturb me, leave me alone!â
âLittle troublemaker, youâŠâ Princess Longji wanted to say something, but she suddenly recalled how the little princess mentioned the spirit girl had bullied her. She now understood that there were some conflicts between them both.
She didnât have the time to play mediator now, so she only smiled at Ye Lang, âLittle troublemaker, why are you here all of a sudden? And why didnât you tell me? Didnât I tell you to look for me when you get here? Are you looking for trouble, youâve forgotten what I said!!â
âNo, I didnât!!â Ye Lang shook his head. This seemed to satisfy her, but what he said next provoked herâŠ
âIâve forgotten about YOU!â
ââŠâ
She fell silent, then gently pinched his face. Donât think that she gently pinched him because she loved Ye Lang too much to hurt him, it was because even a gentle pinch would hurt a lot!!
âAhhhh ouchâŠâ he shrieked in pain, struggling.
âWeâll see if youâll forget me again!!â she huffed, letting go.
âEven if Iâd remembered, itâd still be useless because you never told me where you were!â whined Ye Lang innocently.
âI didnât tell you, but didnât I give you an amulet? You only need to show it to someone, and theyâll bring you to me!â
âWould it really work? Wasnât it just a broken amulet?â asked Ye Lang, taking out a broken jade amulet. He didnât think it was anything special.
Jade amulet? Is it⊠Longji, did you give THIS amulet to him?!!!
âWhat do you mean broken amulet?! This represents my status. If you have it, it means you have my powers. Youâll be able to do anything I can do.â
Even the princessâ closest circle never had this amulet. That was why so many people were shocked. The Prince Party now had ideas to approach Ye Lang.
However, Ye Lang didnât even change his mind. He said airily, âItâs still a useless amulet. Whatâs the use of it? I have you, why would I need to use your powers.â
Yeah. To Ye Lang, his cousin was here. He could just talk to her!
âYouâre so dumbâŠâ Princess Longji knocked his head, exasperated but still smiling in her heart. She liked him for it.
At this point, everyone finally knew which cousin he was!
Princess Longji was the cousin who visited Ye Lang every few years, the one he didnât even know the name to. No one wouldâve expected his cousin was Princess Longji of the Vermilion Bird Empire!
No wonder she had to cover her face every time she visited the Soaring Sky Empire and acted so mysteriously. If people had known her identity, it would attract a lot of trouble. Most importantly, there would be a lot of problems for Long Anqi.
To visit the Soaring Sky Empire alone for a person of her position was a very stupid thing to do, but she was willing to make stupid decisions- not just once.
That was because she had to meet her favourite person, the one she couldnât let goâ Ye Lang!!
In the past, perhaps sheâd never known that she couldnât let him go. However, when she was almost dead, she could let her parents, her siblings, friends, power and even the entire world goâ but not Ye Lang!!
At the last moment, she wanted to hit his cute little head againâŠ
Perhaps the heavens knew she could never let him go, so Ye Lang was sucked into all of this. That was also why at the very last moment, she called Ye Langâs nickname. It woke him up from deep sleep to save her!
And at that moment, he was still drunk, chatting with the girl in his dreams. In the past, it was very hard to wake him up even if there was shouting all around him.
Although her shouts were loud, they shouldnât have been enough to wake him up!
Perhaps heâd sensed she was in danger!
And at this moment, Ye Lang instead became very calm, his senses infinitely heightened. In a second heâd brought the spirit girl in its highest speed over to save the princess!!
Her wounds had triggered much anger in his heart. It was an emotion that rarely surfaced within him. And at that moment, he didnât think of anything else except to kill the assassins that had hurt his cousin.
Even if theyâd been the highest masters in their martial arts, he would still be able to beat them into pulp!
That was why the people whoâd surrounded the princess were already dead. Coldblood Seven was very relieved that sheâd known Ye Lang beforehand and Ye Lang didnât see her personally launching attacks. Thankfully sheâd used far-ranged attacks.
If it werenât for it, Ye Lang wouldâve killed her without a doubt!!
âLittle troublemaker, letâs not talk about it anymore. Why are you here?â
âMe? Oh, right, Iâm here to kill Princess Longji!!â
