Chapter 81
With that, Xiao Mei turned and left with the young elites in tow.
One young lady fawned, “Princess, you’re so clever. One bottle of useless pills was enough to teach Ye Piaoling a lesson!”
“Exactly. Those pills are especially slippery. The moment she sweeps them, they’ll roll everywhere. There’s no way to clean them up… If she wants the floor spotless, she’ll have to pick them up one by one!”
Xiao Mei said, “Tomorrow, every one of us will bring a bottle. Let’s see how long she has to keep picking them up!”
Ye Piaoling watched as Xiao Mei and the others strutted out smugly.
Then she pressed two fingers together and cast a spatial teleportation spell on the pills scattered across the floor.
The pills were tiny, so there was no need to draw talismans or anything like that. A flick of her fingers was enough to launch them away.
And just now, she had already used a spell to leave a receiving signal on the soles of Xiao Mei’s shoes.
With a biu, the pills were teleported right under Xiao Mei’s feet…
Xiao Mei had only just stepped out of the library when her soles suddenly slipped. It felt as if both her feet had landed on countless rolling beads!
“Ah-”
Xiao Mei shrieked, lost her balance, and fell flat on her face.
“Princess!!”
The young ladies beside her hurried forward to help her up.
Xiao Mei had nearly knocked her teeth out. Furious and flustered, she scrambled to her feet, only to see a few pills rolling on the ground.
She pointed at the noble young ladies and young masters following her and snapped, “How did these pills get spilled out here? Did one of you accidentally drag them out while walking?”
The young elites all shook their heads in terror, indicating it had nothing to do with them.
Xiao Mei said angrily, “When we come back tomorrow, all of you had better watch your step. If anyone makes me fall again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
…
Inside the library, Ye Piaoling looked at the disastrous mess of pills all over the floor and helplessly patted the broom in her hand.
“You’re already a mature broom. It’s time you learned to sweep the floor by yourself.”
With that, she cast another spell.
The poor, overworked broom immediately left her palm and began sweeping diligently on its own.
Ye Piaoling, meanwhile, crossed one leg over the other and sat down to the side.
This spell also came from that book, How Trash Is Made. It only required a little spiritual power to turn a broom into a robot vacuum.
Though she no longer had to tire herself out, she still had to wait for the job to be done.
Just as she was bored out of her mind, a flash of red suddenly rushed in.
It was actually Hua Wuhuang.
“Huahua, why are you here?” Ye Piaoling asked in surprise.
Hua Wuhuang sat down on a chair and gritted his teeth. “The moment I got back to the manor, I saw Lu Yin. He came to discuss the wedding date with my father. It’s been set for the eighth of next month!”
“What?” Ye Piaoling’s eyes widened. “It’s really been decided this time?”
Hua Wuhuang nodded and said bitterly, “A few days ago, he came to propose marriage and I caught him right at the door. I used my father’s poor health as an excuse to refuse him a meeting… It hasn’t even been that many days, and he actually came again!”
Hua Wuhuang clenched his fists. “That madman is dead set on getting married. Tell me, is there anyone in this world who can stop him?”
“No one can stop me!”
Along with that voice, Lu Yin strode in.
He was still wearing that wide-sleeved azure robe, with his pale, handsome face and that unruly expression.
“Wuhuang, I saw you storm out in such a temper and couldn’t help worrying, so I followed you…”
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Piaoling. “As expected, you came to Young Master Wang.”
Ye Piaoling felt a sudden chill between her legs.
She hurriedly bowed. “Elder Lu, please don’t joke around with this disciple. I can’t take it, I really can’t.”
Lu Yin let out a cold laugh, then turned to Hua Wuhuang and smiled. “Wuhuang, I’m in such a hurry to marry you entirely for the child’s sake.”
Hua Wuhuang: “…” There was really no need.
Lu Yin smiled. “We should at least hold the wedding before the child is born, shouldn’t we?”
Hua Wuhuang ground his molars hatefully.
After a long moment, he forced out a sentence.
“I’ve already gotten rid of the child.”
When Lu Yin heard this, he did not show much emotion.
Instead, he smiled gently and said, “No matter. As long as you’re happy! If you want to give birth, I’ll be the child’s father. If you don’t want to give birth, then the two of us can still live together in perfect harmony.”
“…”
Lu Yin said, “I am a foolishly devoted man. I am devoted to the sword, and I am just as devoted in love. Once I decide on something, I will never let go.”
Watching from the side, Ye Piaoling could not help feeling a little yearning herself-
Holy crap, what kind of divine romance was this!
So jealous, so jealous!
Hua Wuhuang was so angry he could hardly breathe. He had disguised himself as a woman for so many years without incident, only to run into a madman like this now.
There was no reasoning with someone like him, so Hua Wuhuang simply stood up to leave.
“Wuhuang!”
Lu Yin stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.
Hua Wuhuang turned and shook him off, but accidentally stepped on a pill that had not been cleaned up.
“…!”
And so Ye Piaoling witnessed yet another classic scene straight out of a drama-
Hua Wuhuang and Lu Yin both fell to the ground.
Hua Wuhuang was on top, Lu Yin underneath. During the fall, Lu Yin seemed afraid he would get hurt, so he deliberately used his own body to cushion him. As a result, their lips just happened to meet!
Hua Wuhuang’s pupils contracted violently. “!!!”
He had actually kissed a man…
Lu Yin was also somewhat stunned.
But very quickly, his eyes filled with amusement. He reached up, pressed a hand to the head of the red-clad beauty on top of him, and deepened the kiss.
“Mmph…”
