Understanding this, I bullied Jin Mo more fearlessly. “Okay, stop crying! I’ll take you to see the little white rabbit,” I said. With signs of hesitation, I added, “The little white rabbit is cute, with red eyes and all white, hopping when walking. It has a small mouth and eats vegetable leaves quickly!”
“Then… okay…” Jin Mo sobbed, gradually stopping his crying.
“This, this!” I stood before a large pit filled with flour, waving to him.
“Hm?” Jin Mo curiously peered inside. “There’s nothing here. Just a white pit, what’s there to see?” he pouted.
“Look again, look carefully. I already said the little white rabbit is white. If you don’t look carefully, how can you see it?” I pointed, pushing his little head forward.
Seeing my exasperated expression, he rubbed his eyes, stretched his neck, and leaned forward to look.
Waiting for just this moment!
I quickly turned behind him and gave him a kick—
“Ah—” The loud cry rang out in the rear courtyard of the mansion.
Afterward, in the side hall.
“You—you’re bullying Mo’er again!
Dad held a ruler, angrily slapping the table. With only this precious daughter, he couldn’t bear to punish her, so he was merely going through the motions.
Clearly, his intimidation had no effect. I pulled out my handmade mirror from my treasure bag: “Look for yourself.”
Jin Mo looked at me questioningly, then obediently looked in the mirror. His fair little face was covered in flour, with only his red eyes and two tear tracks visible.
“See? You’ve seen it now,” I said, putting away the mirror. “You should have confidence in me. When I said I’d show you a little white rabbit, I meant it!”
Then, Jin Mo’s little mouth drooped, and he cried even louder than before. So, he was the little white rabbit I was talking about.
—————————————I am a dividing line—————————————
“A-Mo, you’re leaving so soon,” I tearfully grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Jin Mo looked at me in terror, shrinking behind the attendant.
“A-Mo, I know why you don’t like me. It’s because the person you really like is—A-Hua!” The entire room was shocked.
Dad even choked on his tea and coughed for a long time.
A-Hua was the daughter of the stable hand Ma San, with unique features: moth eyebrows, sesame eyes, an upturned nose, sausage lips, and notably, black mustache-like sweat on her face.
Jin Mo felt disheartened. He had come to the mansion on his father’s orders to develop feelings for his “future wife,” only to be tormented by her for a month, and now his reputation would be ruined! What had he done to deserve this?
“A-Mo, I don’t blame you, truly. I’ll always wait for you!” A-Hua declared emotionally, wiping tears from her eyes.
Suddenly, the perception of Jin Mo shifted; it was surprising that the dragon and phoenix of the crown prince had developed affection for an unattractive girl.
In the years that followed, it was said that unattractive girls in the imperial city flourished, embracing their newfound confidence.
“Then Wei Ning will take his leave,” the lead attendant said, cupping his hands, his tone neutral.
“Mm.” Dad merely nodded in response.
Wei Ning gestured to Jin Mo: “Your Highness, please.”
Jin Mo took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and stepped forward to restore his royal demeanor.
“A-Mo, I’ll wait for you to come again next year!” A-Hua called out, trailing after him and waving goodbye as he left.
Slap.
Jin Mo’s foot slipped, and he fell flat on the ground.
Such impressive royal demeanor.
【016】 Going Up the Mountain to Learn Skills!
“Brother Fan, Brother Fan!” I spread my arms excitedly and ran toward the black-clothed youth practicing sword in the back garden.
Leng Ruo-Fan’s sword technique was like a dragon, rising to the sky and descending to the earth, with cold light flashing and sword shadows like ribbons. At the last moment, he flicked his wrist, and all sword forms and qi disappeared, holding the sword behind his back with one hand and extending the other to steady me.
I immediately crashed into his arms.
Leng Ruo-Fan was somewhat frustrated. It wasn’t that he wanted to be touched by this little person, but—
The first time, when he reached out to block her, she kissed his hand, making him recoil as if bitten by a snake. His defense was broken.
The second time, he pointed his sword at her, challenging her to bite it. She charged at him, scaring him into dropping the weapon.
The third time, he turned to run, thinking escaping would work! But she wailed, forcing him to turn back under everyone’s gaze. The result was predictable.
In short, he never successfully avoided this little seductress’s claws.
Worn down over time, he had grown accustomed to it.
Surrendering to evil forces, she was so strong and wicked. Each time, he could only close his eyes helplessly, letting her ravage his face and lips.
Hugging his lean waist, I desperately rubbed my head against him.
Leng Ruo-Fan’s expression changed—she wouldn’t have rubbed her snot on him, would she? He quickly pushed me away to check. Thankfully, no. But what was this?
He saw a large wet patch on his chest, but it didn’t seem like snot. Leng Ruo-Fan looked at me questioningly, noticing my lovesick expression and the drool hanging from the corner of my mouth.
A wave of black lines appeared. So it was drool…
Frowning, Leng Ruo-Fan said nothing and stood up to leave, needing to change clothes; a large patch of drool was disgusting!
“Brother Fan? Brother Fan—” I looked confusedly at his resolute departing back. What did I do? Seeing him walk further away, unsure whether to follow, I pouted, preparing to use my signature move—
Huh? Where? I hadn’t even built up my emotions, and my Brother Fan had disappeared.
Damn! Is this the legendary lightness skill? Anger! Using martial arts against a weak girl like me! (First, you’re not weak; second, he’s just protecting himself.)
No problem.
No way, if there’s one, there’ll be two. I won’t let his “conspiracy” succeed!
I’ve decided to learn martial arts and become the best in the world! That way, I won’t fear handsome guys flying away from my sight. Wow, I’m clever!
“Miss, what’s wrong?” Xiaoyi, who had just arrived, looked at me in panic. “What’s wrong with the miss? She’s laughing like she’s gone crazy.”
—————————————————I am a dividing line—————————————————
“Zero wants to learn martial arts?” Dad looked surprised.
What is he looking at? Haven’t you seen such a self-respecting, ambitious young person? Under Dad’s gaze, I puffed out my chest to show my determination to learn martial arts. (More like the determination to attract handsome men.)
“Heaven’s will, it is indeed heaven’s will! Hahaha!” Dad suddenly burst into laughter.
Is this old man going senile? Laughing for no reason? Oh no, I’ve driven my dad crazy—what should I do?
Just then, a “Namo Amitabha” came from the doorway.
Dad was stunned, then laughed heartily: “Master Taibai, it seems I’ll have to trouble you with my daughter.”
Taibai? Such a silly name! I suddenly thought of a certain foolish immortal—could it be that pig-head Taibai? Only he would come up with such a name.
Sure enough, standing in the doorway was none other than the Star of Taibai!
I was about to call out when he quickly winked at me. I understood and cleared my throat: “Floating Zero pays respects to Master Taibai Fool.”
“Zero!”
Dad knew I was doing it on purpose. A one-year-old who could speak clearly wouldn’t mispronounce words at three, turning Taibai into Taibai Fool.
“Hehe… hehe… The young miss might be too young to speak clearly.” Taibai received my contempt but still had to smile and cover for me.
This woman was too powerful and evil. If she leaked something to the Heavenly Court, he’d be done for, Taibai thought bitterly.
