Ming Shu said briskly, "It's better to give her a black eye."
If the child is not obedient, it's better to give them a black eye.
Upon finishing this sentence, Ming Shu put it into practice, leaving no opportunity for Bai Yanran to argue. And everyone's scalp tingled with Bai Yanran's screams.
Lord Bai was beyond angry; he ordered his people to stop Ming Shu. But apparently Liu Feng and Hui Xue wouldn't watch their Miss be besieged, so they joined the battle to help Ming Shu. The scene became very confusing.
"Why did you hit me?"
"When did I hit you?"
"Fuck! You won't admit it, but I saw it with my own eyes."
"Are you blind?"
"What the fuck did you say? Who's blind? Asshole, beat him!"
The melee spread to the surrounding crowd, and eventually it evolved into a huge free-for-all.
Qing Chen stood outside the chaotic crowd and sighed.
In his lifetime, he would never have any chance to save the girl like a hero.
Just watch the show quietly! After Bai Yanran was rescued, the melee also stopped. Those people stood in a row, confronting Ming Shu.
Ming Shu slowly patted the folds of her clothes into place, feeling hungry.
Too much energy has been wasted, I need to eat some food to replenish it.
"When I heard that someone is fighting at the gates of the palace I didn't believe it. Now it seems to be true. You are all so energetic." A young man who was somewhat like Feng Cheng in appearance came in their direction, surrounded by many people.
Compared to Feng Cheng's indifference and abstinence, this man appeared to be treacherous. At first sight, you could tell he was born to be a villain.
"Lord Four."
"Lord Four."
Lord Four nodded and stepped to the middle with his hands clasped behind his back. "What's going on here? This is the entrance to the palace. How dare you fight here?"
Lord Four's face darkened as he finished the last sentence, and he looked very unhappy. "You all came to celebrate the birthday of Father today. But I see you are causing trouble."
"Lord Four, it was not us, it's she who started this." Causing trouble in this forbidden zone was a serious crime, so someone passed the buck to Ming Shu immediately. "It's all her fault."
Lord Bai also stood up. In neither a respectful nor offensive manner, he said, "Lord Four, this was begun by Zhi Po. She threatened the life of my daughter and made rude remarks. I had no choice but to fight."
Bai Yanran was supported by several people off to the side, her condition extremely weak. She tried to speak, but she didn't have the strength to even open her mouth; she could only offer a heavy nod to agree with what Lord Bai had said.
And many people behind them echoed Lord Bai's words as well.
It's her.
It's her.
Our poor scapegoat Ming Shu.
"…" These little goblins are not only blind in their eyes but also blind in their hearts. They are blind in everything!
After listening to all the accusations, Lord Four let his sharp eyes fall on Ming Shu. He squinted and kept silent for a long while before speaking. "Are you the master of Death Valley, Miss Zhi Po?"
Ming Shu offered a smile and said, "No."
"…" She's lying through her teeth!
"Why did you start a disturbance at the palace gates, Miss Zhi Po?" Everyone knew she was the new master of Death Valley, so Lord Four just ignored Ming Shu's denial and cut to the chase.
"What did I do?!" Ming Shu's bright and beautiful face was full of innocence, and she stated with smiling eyes, "Which of your eyes have seen me creating the disturbance? Don't talk wildly! I was just beating a person. How could I have known all that's wrong with them, they just joined the fight all of a sudden. It's none of my business."
I was fighting on my own, but these people had to join in and battle chaotically. What else could I do?
Our Guest seemed to be so proud of beating others…
Lord Four was a little speechless as well. The master of Death Valley seemed to be a bit different from normal people.
"If you had not beaten Yanran first, would we fight with you? Lord Four, don't listen to her nonsense. She was holding my daughter hostage first and then hit her. Now she's trying to shirk responsibility!" Lord Bai shouted angrily.
"Then why did you beat Miss Bai, Miss Zhi Po?"
"She blocked my way." What's wrong with hitting a punching bag?
"…"
I really don't know how to continue this conversation now. Lord Four gave up.
Awkwardness spread in the air, and time seemed to have frozen.
Ming Shu suddenly swept her eyes over Lord Four, and she paused for a moment on his waist. The words she then spoke shocked everyone: "Was it you who urged Death Valley to rebel?"
Lord Four's back was tense and his hands inside his sleeves slowly tightened.
"Miss?" Hui Xue was also surprised. The Miss almost didn't seem to care about the rebellion of the Valley. Why was she now saying so definitively that Lord Four was the person behind the insurrection?
"I was joking."
Hui Xue's mouth twitched. Lord Four faked a smile and said, "Miss Zhi Po, this joke is not funny at all."
"But…" Ming Shu continued, "Now I'm sure. Lord Four, why did you incite Death Valley's people to rebel?"
She was assured in her tone.
Lord Four's mood fluctuated a lot with Ming Shu's every sentence. Unconsciously, cold sweat had spread all over his body. But he soon calmed down. She's nothing but a chit of a girl, there's no need to worry about her.
"Miss Zhi Po, mind your irresponsible remarks. You said I incited your people, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence and just slander me, you will be punished for disrespecting a royal family member." Lord Four's tone became tougher and his eyes sharper.
People around them were all scared into silence, not even daring to breathe.
This Zhi Po just started a big fight, now she's offending Lord Four. How daring is she?
Ming Shu let out a deep chuckle and answered firmly, "I have no evidence, but it is you."
Even if there was evidence she would be too lazy to explain. It would waste her energy. The waste of energy is a waste of time, and the latter means a waste of life.
Lord Four intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Yi Ming next to him. Yi Ming trembled and shook his head. He didn't reveal anything.
The interaction between the two was hidden. But Ming Shu was holding her chest and staring at Yi Ming. Under Ming Shu's smiling eyes, Yi Ming felt like he'd been caught in bed with Lord Four. Cold sweat suddenly dripped down his back, and with a shifting gaze, Yi Ming didn't dare to look at Ming Shu.
"Hmph, Miss Zhi Po, how can you make up such stories so easily? Aren't you afraid we'll laugh our teeth off?"
"Don't worry, you won't laugh your teeth off, since you'll be losing all your teeth in just a moment," Ming Shu said softly. Her voice was like the spring breeze in March blowing past people's cheeks; it was so gentle that everyone almost neglected what she was saying.
But what she said…
Was really not something that could be neglected.
But what does that mean?
Lord Four didn't understand, and no one else present did, either.
"What she meant was that your teeth will be beaten off." A joyful voice suddenly echoed down to them from above.
Everyone was attracted to this voice. They looked up simultaneously to see a flowery "butterfly" sitting on the stone lion at the palace gates. With his fair collarbones exposed to the air through slightly opened clothes, the man assumed a seductive posture, raising one of his hands to block the sun like a delicate girl. His thin and light pink lips were shining with a charming hint of gloss, alluring to anyone who saw him.
The red walls and green tiles behind him lost their color; the entire world was left with only that figure in bright color. Just a glimpse of him would capture anyone's heart.
It's him again!
He always shows up in such eye-catching ways, each and every time. Does he really think he's selling his body?
A person who snatched her snacks, Ming Shu always disliked.
No, she hated such a person.
She was just so tired of these psychopaths in each world.
The only good news was that this one was not a crazy wooer.
This fool had a clear goal—to treat his disease.
But he was just daydreaming. She would never waste time curing someone. If she had any time, it was better to eat a few more snacks so she would be stronger when fighting.
Okay, that's enough. I'll just drop these boring thoughts and give him a beating first.
