Xiao Yulin and Liu Youwei decided to stroll around the kingdom. For the past few weeks, both their families are in the same state of shame. They purposely stroll around, looking confident even if inside, they just want to die, to make the people know that they are not dead yet and whoever is messing with their family cannot be spared.
The two are not even bethrothed yet, but they are already using each other's power to shut people down. They were both very affected by the situation that they shut themselves in their manor for a few days.
As they are walking side by side, the people around them are quite, but the mirth and ridicule in their eyes are apparent.
' Tss, just how complicated to be of a noble birth', the people thought as some with discerning eyes can already see the point of their action.
Both of them went to the Liu family's Heaven Restaurant for a lunch. They went to the 2nd floor where the nobles and special guests are being served grandly. The rooms are actually just divided by thin agarwoods with fancy carvings, making the room brighter. They are eating peacefully when they heard the gossips around them, of course, by purpose.
" Have you heard about the Liu family?"
" Your too behind! The breaking news right now is the third prince's impotence! What's worse for a man than to have no descendant?"
" Those news are going on for days, aren't you tired of it? Have you all seen the girl who made the prince impotent? "
" God! I heard she is a rare beauty! The time seems to stop by her mere presence, at least that is what those people who witnessed said. She is even a million times way beautiful than the number 1 beauty in the capital! "
By hearing this, Liu Youwei can't help but to clench her hands into tight fist under the table. She can't afford to show her reactions blatantly, just to impress the crown prince in front of her.
The crown prince looks at her worriedly, even if deep inside he is already curious about the girl who not only has guts to challenge the royal family, but is also a rare beauty, as they say.
Liu Youwei just smiles at the prince quite sadly, looking magnanimous. She knows very well that men hates jealous women the most. The crown prince heart can't help but to ache at her reaction.
' She really is a strong woman', he thought as he knows how important beauty is for women but she still looks ok though insulted.
" Wei'er, you don't have to worry, those people are just too stupid to compare you to a nobody. You clearly are the most beautiful girl that has ever graced this world", Xiao Yulin said, looking sincere. He, himself, failed to realize that he has been using same lines in every girl he flirted.
Liu Youwei's downcast face ease a bit. She can't help but to feel butterflies in her stomach. No mayter how blinded she is with the crown prince's power, she can't still deny her affection for the person.
Meanwhile, downstairs, all the men's eyes are sparkling. Who wouldn't if they are graced by the presence of a very beautiful person? Her white clothes are maybe too plain, but it still can't hide her regal and authorative aura.
She is in a far side of the restaurant near the window. Every one is very captivated by the way she is reading while eating her food gracefully. They all sigh dreamily as they watch her flips the pages of the book in the other hand, while a chopsticks on another.
Di Xueyan knew that the people are staring at her all along.
' What can I do? I'm too gorgeous to be ignored!', she smugly thought.
Actually, she is well aware that the restaurant is owned by her current clowns, she just don't give a damn.
She is reading about an ancient medical book that she kindly 'borrowed' silently from her mother. Aside from cultivating crazily, she also studies and practices medicine.
' Those protagonists in cultivation novels are either assassins or godly doctor. They literally have a headstart of one lifetime! Just what can I, a normal college student (who even skipped classes) , do but to just study and study even though I hate it the most? ', she sulkily thought.
She hates studying because her memory retention is comparable to a gold fish, - - just in a span of 3 seconds. Luckily, after gaining cultivation, her memory retention luckily increased by leaps and bound.
She focuses herself in her reading. She is very close to comprehending the cure of the cold - fire poison when suddenly a hand slaps her table, making her attention slips.
She close her eyes to calm herself.
' Whoever the fuck has a death wish? Who in their right mind would disrupt a fucking doctor in comprehending a very important matter?', she calmly chant a poem in her brain to calm her raging temper, but who in the world would just smile after being interrupted?
' I was so close, so close in comprehending, damnit! ', she thought and opened her dark chocolate brown eyes that sometimes can be mistaken as black. Then, she grins at whoever the hell in front of her, killing the person in her mind a hundred times.
