Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(284) Understanding Too Late, Really Let People Down

Finished speaking, Air Spirit was silent for a while, waiting for her response.

But he only heard breathing that suppressed strong emotions, so he couldn't help but turn and once again look at her.

But what met him was a pair of eyes full of sorrow, he suddenly went blank, not knowing what to say. It was as if he had returned to that day, when he was about to leave, Little Yan used this kind of expression to look at him. During midnights when he was startled awake by dreams of returning, it was still hard for him to forget this.

"Why would you feel I would not be willing to take out this Red Stone Fruit?" She asked, stressing each word.

"At that time, when with great difficulty you finally found Nothingness Flower grass, a disciple in the sect was injured and just so happened to lack this medicinal herb, but you——" Air Spirit hadn't returned to his senses but had already said this out loud. When he realized what he was saying, Air Spirit suddenly shut up.

So it turned out to be this matter, Cheng Yan-Luo almost couldn't resist the urge to laugh. "You wanted to say that disciple had a disagreement with me so I wasn't willing to give that medicinal herb to him, right?"

Air Spirit looked at her and didn't continue speaking, but she already got her answer.

Cheng Yan-Luo shook her head and felt she already lacked the strength to explain.

If that junior brother didn't put medicine in his food, putting him in a coma, she wouldn't have climbed the steep mountain during the night in the thunderstorm to look for Nothingness Flower grass. Afterwards, when that junior brother learned she had Nothingness Flower grass in hand, he pretended to be injured to seek the medicinal herb from her. After being seen through by her, he fabricated rumors saying she used her identity as master's daughter to harm disciples in the same door, bully new disciples and other bad rumors.

Sometimes, she really wanted to use an object to smash open his head, see what kind of structure was inside. Why would he always lean toward believing in others while not believing in her nature and character?

Forget it, forget it, just let it go.

Air Spirit sensed her mood becoming downcast, he couldn't help but want to step forward. But she faintly swept him a glance, with no sadness or joy, a step ahead of him as she brushed past his shoulder. She went ahead.

In a split second, he could sense that just now, that burst of wind when she brushed past represented that the fate between the two had been used up.

He turned around and saw the Little Consort's figure.

He only saw Little Yan walked to stand in front of the Little Consort and show off the box in her hand. "Little younger sister Qing-Yan, I didn't fail you, I finally found the Red Stone Fruit."

"This is the Red Stone Fruit?" Chu Qing-Yan looked at the fruit that was the size of a night pearl, and couldn't help but say this in amazement.

Cheng Yan-Luo took back the box and raised an eyebrow. "It's genuine, we don't cheat the old or young, however——" She smiled craftily. "If you want this life saving fruit, it's very simple. Recently the money in our medicinal hall is a bit tight, can your Highness Prince Ying subsidize us a bit?"

When Chu Qing-Yan heard it was this request, she couldn't help but smile. "No problem, our Prince Yan Manor will support all the expenditures in your medicinal hall for the next ten years!"

Cheng Yan-Luo was somewhat doubtful. "You can make this decision on Prince Ying's behalf? Right now, you still haven't become the official Princess Ying, right?"
