Liu Youwei and Xiao Yulin's flirting was disrupted by a sudden 'bang' in the first floor. Both of them wanted to ignore it, but as they unconsciously look at the window, they are shocked by the broken woods and a bloodied young master lying on the street.
The young master is the only son of the wealthiest merchant in the capital, the Lu family. Xiao Yulin might want to ignore it, but since he saw it already, he can't just stand aside as almost half of the tax in the kingdom came from their family. He has to give them some face.
Liu Youwei on the other hand, is simply furious because someone dared to cause ruckus in her territory!
Xiao Yulin went down, followed by a fuming mad Liu Youwei. Xiao Yulin immediately switched to his 'righteous crown prince facade' and face the frozen faces of the people downstair.
He is taken a back by the frozen crowds reaction.
' What's happening?', he muse. He is already aware of his people's bootlicking personality so he is puzzled as to why they are not helping the poor young master Lu and are just sitting on their table, frozen.
He observe that that they are staring on something so he followed their eyes. His eyes widen by the scenery he saw. A girl wearing plain white, standing by the window while her hair and clothes are being swayed by the wind. Her beautiful face is so cold that it can freeze you any second, but you will just oddly find yourself being willing to be frozen.
Liu Youwei's brows are furrowed when he saw Xiao Yulin's mesmerized face. She followed his line of sight and immediately got jealous by how beautiful the girl his staring is. She surveyed the situation and came to a conclusion that the girl is the culprit, and even if not, so what?
" You! How dare you cause ruckus in my Heaven Restaurant and injured young master Lu?!", she pointed the girl out. Her pointed hand is quivering due to extreme rage and jealousy.
Xiao Yulin's trance was snapped by Liu Youwei's voice. He suddenly remembers that if something will happen to the young master while he is around, he will lose the support of the Lu family. Even if he has the purest bloodline, his crown prince title can still be taken away.
The people's trance also snapped. They just can't believe that the simply beautiful girl they were just staring a while ago can injure an orange 3rd level with just a gentle sway of a hand. They immediately look at the cursing young master who is currently at the center of the street. Their jaw dropped when they saw blood trickling in his head but he is not cursing that injury at all, instead he keeps on cursing while cupping his little brother down there. His eyes are already shedding tears when his missing in action body guards approached him on panic, intending to bring him to a physician.
" You slut! You can't run away! How dare you do this! Don't you know me?! I will make sure to make your life a living hell!", young master Lu maniacally shouted, spending his remaining energy to swear revenge.
Xiao Yulin can't help but to furrow his brows, somehow worried. He looks at the stone cold girl who only smiles sweetly. Even someone like him, who's been treading danger his whole life, can't help but to feel chills down his spine. He somehow knew that the smile is very dangerous but still put it aside, how can someone threaten his instinct like that?
" Young miss, if I were you, you have to apoligize for what you've done. The Lu family is not easy to deal with", he sincerely convince the girl in white. It earned another bout of jealousy from Liu Youwei.
" Hmp! You can never get away with it! Nor can you get away from destroying my family's restaurant! Guards! Bring her to the Liu manor and punish her with 300 lashes!", she shouted maliciously.
' No matter how powerful you are, you're still a girl. Let's just see how you can withstand the lashes of a 3rd grade artifact!', she diabolicaly thought. Xiao Yulin can't help but to frown at her. He can't believe that she can suggest malicious things like that. Everyone knows about their 3rd grade whip, even an orange level cultivator can't withstand a hundred lashes! What more a little girl? But then, they all realized that maybe she is beyond the orange level, based on how she easily injured young master Lu.
Liu Youwei panics internally by that stare. She forgotten that she should look magnanimous.
" I only think for her well being. If the prime minister manor is the one who'll punish her, it'll only be lashes and we can then tell the Lu family that we already punish the criminal. Otherwise if the Lu manor...", she looks pitiful as she convince the crown prince. Xiao Yulin already understands what she is implying. Only death will await if she'll be punished by the Lu family. He can't help but feel proud by how smart and helpful his woman is, even if she's not, and completely forgot about the brutal 300 lashes.
Di Xueyan is amused at the spectacle she is currently watching right now. It is her first time seeing a gullible crown prince and a white lotus bitch that she only read in novels before. She never thought that seeing this clowns right now is so satisfying that she doesn't even give a damn that she is the topic.
" Please, stop being a vicious slut after this. After you seduced a poor young master, why are you hurting them afterwardards? A woman's beauty should not be used for evil deeds", she said gently with a hint of righteousness. Xiao Yulin can't help but to praise Liu Youwei in his mind, in which can easily be read just by looking at his stupid expression.
