Chapter 665: Sparring (1)
âYou jerk, youâre impossibleâŠâ
âCanât believe Fei was a bride, interestingâŠâ
As Ye Lang spoke, everyone reacted accordingly, smiling. They thought Ye Langâs life was very interesting, heâd been to many places.
After a while, he finally finished his story of what he did at Ai La Empire. However, there was one important question too.
And that wasâŠ
âWhy did you bring the princess here? What sickness does she have? â
Thatâs right, they still didnât know what sickness she had and why she followed him around.
âThis is a little complicated⊠Let me ask you a question, how old do you think she is?â Ye Lang frowned. It was a complex problem, so he asked them a question instead.
âSeven or eight?â
âEight, at most.â
Everyone said their answers, none of them more than ten years old.
âYe Lang smiled and shook his head. â
âYe Lang, you mean sheâs not seven or eight? You mean sheâs only five? Sheâs growing too quickly?â When Ye Lang saw his expression, she knew they were all wrong.
Ye Lang shook his head, saying, âNo! Itâs actually the reverse. Itâs not that she grew too fast but that she stopped growing. Sheâs already fifteen, sheâll be sixteen in a few months.â
âWhat?!â
âHow is that possible?â
âAre you kidding?â
Everyone gasped, including the empress dowager, who had lost her composure staring at the little princess. No one believed him.
âThatâs her sickness- the No-Aging Disease!â said Ye Lang.
âWhat kind of sickness is that? Thatâs so weird?â The seventh princess squatted down, though the little princess quickly hid behind Ye Lang, peeking two timid eyes from his hip.
âSheâs already fifteen. Why does she look like a child, a very shy one too?â asked Ye Lanyu.
âThatâs her personality, I canât explain it! Alright, weâre done here. Iâm going back to sleep. Call me when itâs time for food.â Ye Lang got up. He was too lazy to explain.
âYouâre sleeping again? Are you still tired? Also, do you know where your room is?â
âOf course! Itâs not like this is my first time hereâŠâ
As he spoke, he led the princess away and did not stay to talk. He did not care.
Coldblood Five bowed and left with him.
âGrandma, weâre leaving!â Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess left too. They did not want to let go of this opportunity to spend time with Ye Lang.
âGrandma, Auntie, Uncle, you all go ahead. Iâll go check on his quarters.â Princess Longji quickly found an excuse to leave. Before they could respond, she left too.
âWhy are you all following me? Donât worry, I know how to get there,â said Ye Lang immediately after seeing Ye Lanyu and the rest.
âWe just want to come with you, canât we do that?â said Ye Lanyu with a smile.
âYou can!â said Ye Lang immediately.
Although she was smiling, he knew that if he did not say yes, she would make him suffer.
It had been twenty years, they knew each other well.
As the noisy ones left with Ye Lang, things grew much quieter on the empress and Long Anqiâs side.
And just like that, in the middle of it all, Ye Chengtian also slipped away to talk to his son.
The father and son had not seen each other in so long, he had lots to say too. The girls immediately shut up, not daring to offend Ye Chengtian. At the same time, they understood that they should give some time to the father.
That night, after their father-and-son time, it was the motherâs turn. That, they could not deny either.
âŠ
On the next morning, Ye Lang washed up after rising and sat in the yard to watch a show⊠No, more like watching someone train in martial arts.
This person was very, very small. Like a childâŠ
âEh, isnât that the little princess? She does sword fighting?â
Princess Longji rose early too. She was surprised to see the little princess, and at the same time noticed that her style was very unconventional.
âYeah, not sure whatâs up with her. She seems to like sword fighting. But itâs healthy and trains the body, perhaps sheâll grow,â said Ye Lang, nodding.
âActually, I admire her a lot. Being a child forever seems so nice, you donât have to worry about anything,â said Princess Longji gently.
âEveryone admires everyone elseâs life but you will never know their sufferings. If she lives like that forever, sheâll be cared for too. Yes, she doesnât need to be worried about anything, but how will she experience the wonders of life?â said Ye Lang wistfully. This was something he did sometimes.
âThe wonders of life. I guess. Should a person live an exciting life or a quiet, stable one? No one can say for sure, everyone has their own answer,â said Princess Longji, also getting philosophical.
âIf I could choose, I would choose a quiet and stable life. But I wouldnât want to be a child forever, a child canât do many things,â said Ye Lang.
âCanât do what?â said Princess Longji with equal nonchalance.
âThere are so many things, for example, something between a man and a woman⊠â
âStop there! You jerk, I canât believe you think like that! Iâve underestimated you!â
âWhat? Itâs the truthâŠâ
âStop it!â
âFine, and I thought girls liked talking about romantic love. Why are you so repulsed by it? No wonder you canât marry anyone!â
ââŠâ
Princess Longji fell silent. She didnât expect him to be referring to that as something only adults can do. Anyoneâ wouldâve misunderstood, with the way he worded his sentence.
âCough cough, her swordsmanship isnât bad at all, though I havenât seen this style before. What style is this? Who taught her?â Princess Longji changed the topic. Although she was curious, she didnât really care. This was just to change the topic.
âMy style. Itâs called the Nine Dugu Swords,â said Ye Lang.
âWhat?! You? You know swordsmanship?!â
