Chapter 75
Di Xiulan crooked a finger.
With a clatter, a stack of Launch Talismans flew out of Ye Piaoling’s sleeve. Each talisman was marked with a number, in order: three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten…
And the “two” on the bed was clearly part of the same series.
Di Xiulan said, “Do you understand now?”
Ye Piaoling said, “…”
Ye Piaoling wiped the smile from her face.
She frowned at the Launch Talismans, analyzing them carefully, then said, “After two comes three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Looking at it that way, it does seem like I made them.”
“…”
Di Xiulan asked, “Where exactly were you planning to send my bed?”
Ye Piaoling said, “I don’t know that either…”
Di Xiulan said, “Hm?”
Ye Piaoling said, “I, I…”
Faced with a predicament she had no idea how to solve, Ye Piaoling’s eyes darted around, and she decided to employ a classic strategy.
“I, I’m getting so dizzy from your questions. Ah-”
Her eyes rolled back, and she spun in a circle before collapsing onto the ground, motionless.
Liang Yun said, “My lord, Miss Ye has fainted!”
Di Xiulan let out a derisive laugh and swept his sleeve, sending the bed back to the bedchamber in Chonghua Palace.
Ye Piaoling cracked her eyes open just a sliver. Watching the bed vanish before her eyes, her heart bled.
Its journey had only just begun, and now it was over!
She had painstakingly planned this for so long. She had even booked rooms at the next nine inns, and now all that money had gone to waste!
And on top of that, the Regent King had caught her red-handed. Who knew if he could ever forgive her!!!
The man strode to her side, bent down, and picked her up.
He lowered his voice and murmured gently by her ear,
“Don’t worry. I hold grudges especially well.”
“…”
Ye Piaoling wanted to burst into tears.
Di Xiulan instructed Liang Yun, “Bring her vehicle.”
With that, he carried the young woman toward the depths of the bamboo path.
He walked very slowly.
As if he were considering where to bury her alive.
Ye Piaoling stayed completely still and resigned herself to fate.
Behind them, Liang Yun finally recovered from his shock.
Miss Ye actually dared to move his lord’s bed without permission. What on earth was she trying to do?
Liang Yun couldn’t figure it out, so he could only obey first and right the electric scooter.
Earlier, when he had seen Ye Piaoling ride this thing, she had simply placed both hands on the front, and it had moved on its own.
Liang Yun had been quite curious about this strange creature before, and today he finally had a chance to study it. So, copying Ye Piaoling, he sat on it and gripped the handlebars with both hands.
The electric scooter did not move.
Liang Yun then tried channeling a bit of spiritual power, experimenting with all sorts of methods for quite a while, but the electric scooter still did not react.
Looks like this creature recognizes its master, Liang Yun thought.
It won’t let strangers drive it.
Liang Yun had no choice but to get off and try pushing it along.
With that push, it actually moved!
And it was quite light and smooth, too.
Finding it novel, Liang Yun pushed the electric scooter forward. When he turned, he accidentally twisted the handlebar.
Bzzzz-
The electric scooter suddenly started and shot forward at full speed!
Liang Yun was startled.
Fortunately, his qinggong was superb, and he immediately grabbed the electric scooter and ran along with it. Without realizing it, he twisted the handlebar even harder…
Bzzzz!
The electric scooter sped up again, going full throttle!
“Aaaaaah!”
Liang Yun screamed. This time, even using all his qinggong, he couldn’t keep up with the electric scooter’s speed!
He clung tightly to the handlebars, his body already lifted off the ground as the electric scooter dragged him forward like an arrow loosed from a bow!
Up ahead, Di Xiulan was carrying the young woman in a leisurely stroll.
Beside him came a whoosh.
The electric scooter, with Liang Yun in tow, overtook him.
Di Xiulan said, “…”
Hearing the sound, Ye Piaoling couldn’t help secretly opening her eyes a crack.
One look nearly gave her a heart attack.
Liang Yun had both hands clenched around the handlebars, his entire body floating above the electric scooter. In that posture, he was driving at top speed, screaming as he shot forward!
Ye Piaoling: “…!!!”
She had never seen anyone ride an electric scooter like that!
Wasn’t that way too dangerous?
Ye Piaoling hadn’t even had time to shout for him to stop.
Bang!!!
The electric scooter slammed headfirst into a large tree.
Liang Yun, the driver, abandoned the vehicle and fled at the very last second.
His body flew up with the momentum, and using the tree trunk as leverage, he flipped through the air several times before landing safely, panting for breath.
The Ancient Divine Donkey wasn’t that capable. It rammed straight into the tree trunk and flipped over in a spectacular wreck.
Ye Piaoling: “…”
My scooter!!!
Talk about losing more than you gained. She hadn’t managed to get the bed, and now her electric scooter was smashed…
A total blood loss!!!
In an instant, Ye Piaoling was so furious her blood rushed to her head.
After staying up for several nights in a row, her body was already weak. Now, unable to catch her breath…
Di Xiulan lowered his eyes.
The girl in his arms had tilted her head to the side and gone still.
“…”
…
When Ye Piaoling woke up, she found herself lying on the Regent King’s Bed.
Recalling everything that had happened today, Ye Piaoling couldn’t help but wrap the little blanket tighter around herself and begin contemplating life.
Before long, footsteps sounded. Di Xiulan had arrived.
Ye Piaoling did not move. She merely asked in a calm tone, “How is my electric scooter?”
The man sat down by the bed and said flatly, “It’s fine.”
Ye Piaoling was instantly overjoyed!
The electric scooter was actually that sturdy!
“Hahahahaha!”
This was the only comforting thing that had happened today. Ye Piaoling couldn’t help rolling back and forth excitedly like a little silkworm cocoon.
Thud!!
In the end, she rolled right off the bed.
“Wahhh!”
Enduring the pain from the fall, Ye Piaoling climbed to her feet, flung the blanket back onto the bed, then took out a Silver Banknote and slapped it onto the table. “Payment for getting into bed this time.”
With that, she turned to leave and look for her electric scooter.
“Stop.”
Behind her, the man’s cold voice rang out.
Ye Piaoling’s steps halted. She slowly turned around, her movements stiff and jerky.
“Your… Highness… do… you… need… anything… else?”
Di Xiulan: “…”
Ye Piaoling’s voice was eerie and trembling. “I think… some kind of… evil spirit… has… possessed… me. Right now… I don’t… remember… anything. I only… want to… go home…”
As she spoke, even the bones throughout her body made creaking, cracking sounds.
Di Xiulan said, “Oh? So stealing this king’s bed was not your own intention?”
Ye Piaoling nodded. “Right… right, right… I… don’t… know… anything…”
Di Xiulan gave a scoffing laugh.
“In that case.”
He stood, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her outside.
Ye Piaoling said, “Where… are… you… taking… me?”
Di Xiulan said, “To feed the dragon.”
Ye Piaoling said, “Didn’t… the… dragon… run… away?”
Di Xiulan said, “It has already been caught and brought back.”
Ye Piaoling couldn’t help cursing smoothly, “Useless thing! It already ran away and still managed to get caught again? Damn it, it’s worse than trash!”
Di Xiulan: “…”
In the fish tank, the dancing Koi suddenly spat out a bubble.
What was going on?
Was someone cursing me?
Di Xiulan glanced at her indifferently.
“Your condition makes you perfect for feeding to the dragon.”
Ye Piaoling immediately returned to normal. “Your Highness, just now, my condition has already been cured.”
