Chapter 15
Ye Qianli clenched the enrollment token tightly in her hand and was going to leap out of the window abruptly to chase after that beautiful crown prince. However, she fell flat on her face with a thud.
This…
She actually fell down from flipping over a window?! Ye Qianli was not feeling too good from head to toe.
“Heh…” At the same time, a clear and distant laugh even sounded from the darkness, extremely impolitely.
Hearing that, Ye Qianli’s entire body stiffened. However, she still did not give up and looked towards the source of that voice. In the end, she saw Rong Mo—whom she didn’t know whether had returned after leaving or had not gone far in the first place.
She was simply… simply… Embarrassed beyond words! She really wanted to dig a hole in the ground that she was sprawled out on and burrow into it. She was simply… To think she had been reduced to the point where she could even fall from flipping over a window.
“How embarrassing.” Ye Qianli covered her face and sighed secretly. She only hoped that that guy—from a short distance away—would leave quickly. Unfortunately, the beautiful crown prince didn’t.
“Why aren’t you getting up yet? Do you want to lie on your stomach until the new year comes?” Not only didn’t Rong Mo leave, but he even walked up to Ye Qianli who was ‘lying on her stomach’. There was an obvious teasing smile in his tone.
Ye Qianli: “…” She did just want to lie down and wait for the new year.
Why? It’s none of your business.
“No matter how embarrassing you look, you’ve already let me see it on purpose back then. Yet, you know to feel embarrassed now?” Rong Mo hadn’t forgotten how this little woman had implicated him by using him as a great cause so that she could make a scene in the main hall.
This woman didn’t have him, the crown prince, in her heart. She was only obeying him on the surface, but she was secretly going against him on the inside. She even disdained being his crown princess consort so why would she mind embarrassing herself in front of him?
Although she hid it very deeply and he still could not see through her completely, he could still understand up to this layer. However…
“Ye Qianli.”
“What?” In a bad mood, Ye Qianli—who had no choice but to get up and was unable to retreat like a tortoise any longer—prepared to get up. Forget it, forget it. So what if she lost face?
However, just as she got up, her right arm was pulled back abruptly, and her back was pressed against the wall by the window! Er…
She simply wanted to ask this person—this beautiful crown prince with an exquisite face and who was sticking so close to her—what he wanted to do by suddenly pinning her against the wall?
However, the beautiful crown prince was just too close to her. His clean scent—like clear snow—enveloped her, and his soul-sucking eyes locked onto hers too. She was really a little flustered and didn’t know what to say anymore.
“Ye Qianli.” The beautiful crown prince’s voice was still very clear and gentle as he called out again. The breath of his words seemed to pass by her ears, neither close nor distant.
Oh no, this person was using a honey trap!
Ye Qianli took a few light breaths before she managed to stabilize her slightly messy breathing. However, when she saw that fair-as-jade collarbone right in front of her, she subconsciously felt guilty.
However, she couldn’t help but be on full alert in her heart. She kept her guard up against this beautiful crown prince who was behaving very strangely. She couldn’t help but grow uneasy.
“Was it you that day?” Indeed, the beautiful crown prince asked a question that hit her premonition. This time, not only did he use his breath to tease her, but he even used his gaze!
His clear eyes seemed to be sparkling with specks of light that were about to flow into her eyes and the bottom of her heart. It was simply too beautiful, seductive and dangerous.
“…” Ye Qianli’s heart skipped a beat, and she was stunned. A pair of rich brown eyes faintly emitted a misty, glittering light, making her look like a docile and attractive cat.
“Hmm?” The beautiful crown prince continued to tease her! This ‘hmm’ sound was filled with innumerable twists and turns.
The ‘hmm’ seemed to cause Ye Qianli to become even more stunned. Her beautiful eyes could not help but half-drooped as those red lips of hers moved slightly. She was actually going to lean closer and kiss those alluring lips that were so close…?
“!”
Rong Mo immediately frowned and turned his head to avoid her. He even took two steps back and let go of Ye Qianli.
“…”
After a long while, Ye Qianli’s slightly dazed eyes gradually regained clarity. Her pretty face suddenly turned pinkish, and she was a little shy, embarrassed, and angry.
Rong Mo stared at her reaction, his eyes filled with suspicion. However, he heard someone approaching nearby and… He was suddenly pushed back by Ye Qianli.
“I want the enrollment token, but I don’t agree to it as a betrothal gift,” Ye Qianli said angrily. Without waiting for Rong Mo to respond, she flipped over the window gracefully and returned to the house nimbly. The open window was also closed with a bang.
After waiting for a while and receiving the guarantee from the magic box that Rong Mo had really left, Ye Qianli’s legs immediately went weak, and she sat on the chair.
What a scare, all right! If she hadn’t been smart enough to pretend to be seduced and almost kissed him, this probably wouldn’t have ended yet! This crown prince was so difficult to deal with…
“He actually hasn’t let me off yet.” Ye Qianli only felt overwrought as she lamented in her heart. After being ‘interrogated’ in that new way earlier, she really nearly could not take it anymore.
The enemy’s sugar-coated bullets were too sweet and tempting…
“How did you offend him?”
As for the magic box that sensed that something was amiss, it also transmitted a question in Ye Qianli’s mind.
“Uh…” Ye Qianli found it a bit hard to explain.
“Even though he came so close to you, why do I feel like he really wanted to kill you just now? You have to be careful. This is a beautiful snake.”
The magic box seriously transmitted these words.
“Pfft, beautiful snake.
“Hahahaha…” Ye Qianli was amused by the description of the magic box. However, it was true. That fellow was simply a venomous snake! A beautiful snake that could kill people at any time.
“Don’t laugh, I’m serious!”
The magic box was unhappy.
“I know, I know. But right now, I think that I should take control of my divine ability first. Otherwise, I’m really too weak. I can even fall while climbing through a window,” Ye Qianli calmed herself down and said.
The magic box agreed with her wholly and immediately urged Ye Qianli to quickly cultivate. It was a little afraid that this master would fall to her death the next time she climbed through the window. Hahahaha…
“But you helped me to conceal my talent as the Nine Mystical Extraordinary Fire, but I possess the Nine Heavens Mystical Fire. What should I do?” Ye Qianli asked.
“That’s easy. I’ll teach you a mental cultivation method. As long as you don’t unleash your talent on a large scale, I guarantee that no one will be able to discover it,”
the magic box boasted.
“Even the crown prince can’t discover it?”
“Probably.”
The magic box cowered.
Ye Qianli: “…”
“This person has a very powerful source of divine aura. Anything is possible.”
The magic box indicated that it wasn’t because it couldn’t do it, but because that little older brother was too powerful.
“All right then. I’ll make do with it first.” What else could Ye Qianli do? She could only be more careful when facing the beautiful crown prince.
After that, Ye Qianli immediately started cultivating while the magic box continued to cast protection to conceal her aura.
Moreover, this time, the magic box discovered that Ye Qianli seemed to be able to enter the most perfect cultivation state at will! The situation at the ancient battlefield really was not a coincidence.
“This talent is really out of the ordinary.”
The magic box had to admit that its cheap master really could surprise him in every way. However, as it was closely observing, it also acutely sensed that there was a sneaky shadow passing by outside the window just now.
