A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 590: This kid wants to set a trap for me
Chapter 590: Chapter 590: This kid wants to set a trap for me
Ji Youyuan flung his sleeves back and hurriedly headed west.
Zhu Xiuxiu glanced at Princess Ata, who was planning to use her lightness skills to continue the chase. She quickly grabbed the princess’s shoulder, energized her Qi to activate her own lightness skills, and joined the pursuit.
At this moment, Princess Ata was completely stunned. The way this Third Madam was carrying her and flying forward felt strangely familiar. It seemed like just a moment ago, the Eldest Princess had been carrying her in the same way, hadn’t she?
"Th-Third Madam, don’t tell me... the Eldest Princess of Great Han... she learned her lightness skills from you?" Princess Ata was extremely nervous, tightly hugging Zhu Xiuxiu’s waist, not daring to let go.
"Mm! That girl is quick-witted; she learns everything very fast. This lightness skill was the first art she learned after coming to our Ji Family." As Zhu Xiuxiu said this, she showed no signs of embarrassment or a racing heart. She completely forgot that Xiaosuisui’s first mentor had been Ji Youyuan, and the first skills she had learned were Ji Youbo’s blade techniques, along with literacy!
"So that’s how it is! The Eldest Princess is truly amazing!" Princess Ata’s eyes sparkled, her face full of admiration.
"The Eldest Princess is amazing? Shouldn’t it be I, who taught her these lightness skills, who is considered amazing?" Zhu Xiuxiu surged her Qi, carrying Princess Ata several zhang in a single leap, keeping a safe distance behind Ji Youyuan and the others.
"Of course, you’re amazing! Your lightness skills are simply superb. I can’t help but want to become your disciple. Please, teach me a thing or two!"
"I wouldn’t dare accept you as my disciple. Whether the peace talks between your Nanjiang and our Great Han will even succeed is still uncertain. If I were to truly accept you as my disciple, with that master-disciple bond, what would I do if the peace talks failed and the Emperor wished you dead?" At this point, Zhu Xiuxiu had no idea that her mediocre martial arts skills hardly qualified her to accept a disciple. The only skill she could confidently show off was her ’flying over grass’ lightness technique. Yet, she was nonetheless quite pleased with Princess Ata’s flattering remarks.
"The peace talks are indeed fraught with difficulties. Since you are unwilling, Madam, I won’t insist! Let’s drop the subject!"
"Fraught with difficulties? It seems your Nanjiang delegation’s mission isn’t so simple, then!" Zhu Xiuxiu was aware there was more to the assassination attempt on the Nanjiang princess. She knew a thing or two since Ji Youzhi had taken Xiaosuisui to investigate the case.
"I believe there must be a way to resolve this. As long as I live, I will not allow war to break out between Nanjiang and Great Han!" When Princess Ata said this, her determination was palpable. Zhu Xiuxiu hummed in acknowledgment, then suddenly halted and quickly ducked to the side.
"You be careful! I’ll go help!" Zhu Xiuxiu put Princess Ata down, then rushed forward. She, Huo Xing’Er, and Ji Youyuan took up positions on three sides, surrounding Monk Liao Kong in the middle.
"Amitabha. I didn’t expect you to catch up so quickly."
After Monk Liao Kong kidnapped Xiaosuisui in the Capital City, he had headed west without stopping. His speed was indeed very fast; after all, he was a Grandmaster. However, he was encumbered by the four-and-a-half-year-old child he was carrying. Like anyone else, she had to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep.
Xiaosuisui had eaten a hearty meal just before leaving the Palace. So, after Liao Kong abducted her and they headed west out of the Capital City, the four-and-a-half-year-old toddler naturally needed to poo. Thus, she kept wailing that she needed to pee along the way.
Liao Kong ignored her, so she wailed loudly. Liao Kong frowned, "What are you crying about?"
Xiaosuisui pouted, feeling aggrieved. "Can’t you smell something?"
Monk Liao Kong finally realized what had happened and hastily threw Xiaosuisui away. The old monk looked at his soaked robe-front and the stench on his hands. His usually indifferent face changed instantly. He immediately changed into a fresh monastic robe and found a place to wash his hands.
Xiaosuisui also took out the spare clothes Zhu Xiuxiu had made for her from her pouch and changed into them. Then, she looked at the big monk with a grin.
"Old baldy, are we going to continue west?"
Trying to catch me? Doesn’t he know who I am? The Eldest Princess of Great Han, the sole sapling of the Ji Family’s youngest generation! With so many cunning elders in the family, I’ve learned a thing or two.
"You... you did this on purpose!" Liao Kong ground his teeth in anger.
How many years had it been? How many years since anyone dared to urinate on him like this? And now this little toddler actually dared to do it!
"Hehe! I told you to put me down because I needed to pee. You wouldn’t, so I couldn’t hold it in. If I peed on you, you can’t blame me, right?"
Liao Kong’s face turned livid with rage.
"Let’s go!" Liao Kong was furious but, with no other recourse, he figuratively pinched his nose and endured it. He grabbed the toddler and continued west.
Not long after they resumed their journey, the toddler in his arms started squirming again.
Given what had happened before, the moment Liao Kong sensed the toddler in his arms squirming, alarm bells blared in his mind.
"What tricks are you up to now?"
"I... I need to poo!" Xiaosuisui said with some embarrassment, turning her head away from Monk Liao Kong’s gaze.
"Didn’t you just pee?" Liao Kong was furious.
Xiaosuisui stammered, looking aggrieved and on the verge of tears, "Don’t you poo when you pee?"
Liao Kong was speechless.
Ultimately, he was the one being deluded.
"You’re not trying to deliberately make me stop, to delay for time so the Emperor of Great Han can send troops to rescue you, are you?"
Xiaosuisui quickly replied, "Of course not! My adoptive father the Emperor’s Inner Guards are completely useless. They can’t even beat me, and their lightness skills are abysmal. They’ll never catch up."
Monk Liao Kong found her remarks sensible. However, he then remembered the young woman who had almost fallen into his Array Barrier. She seemed to be this girl’s third maternal aunt. Liao Kong recalled what Princess Ata had said to the Third Madam of the Ji Family. Alarms blared in his mind. Instead of putting down the toddler he held, he quickened his pace.
"You little liar! You’re clearly just stalling for time.
"This old monk still remembers that your third maternal aunt went to get reinforcements. Your second maternal aunt is a genuine disciple of the Daoist Sect and possesses many magical artifacts.
"Though this old monk hasn’t paid her much mind, you also have an eldest maternal uncle. Tell me, who is your eldest maternal uncle?
"Can he defeat this old monk?"
"My eldest maternal uncle is just my eldest maternal uncle!
"Whether he can beat you or not, I don’t know. I’ve never seen you two fight!"
That was a perfectly reasonable response, leaving Liao Kong speechless.
"Old baldy, why don’t you stop here for a while? Wait for my eldest maternal uncle to come, and then you can fight him.
"That way, wouldn’t you know if my eldest maternal uncle can beat you?"
Liao Kong couldn’t help but laugh. "You little thing, trying to set a trap for me?"
