A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 618: Suisui Hears Li Yanyan’s Inner Voice Year After Year
Chapter 618: Chapter 618: Suisui Hears Li Yanyan’s Inner Voice Year After Year
Upon hearing the Emperor’s question, the National Master first furrowed his brows before responding.
"Your Majesty, I cannot affirm definitively at the moment. Further investigation is needed to reach a conclusion!"
The Emperor inquired further, "National Master, have you noticed anything else unusual here?"
"Yes, indeed. All the houses here have collapsed. Logically, such a large-scale collapse, caused by the natural disaster of a tornado, should have resulted in some villager fatalities. But strangely, no casualties have occurred here. I’m unsure if it’s because the County Magistrate of Yunhang County took precautions in advance or because the residents themselves are experienced. Perhaps they hid themselves upon realizing a tornado was imminent?"
While the National Master and the Emperor were chatting, Xiaosuisui headed towards a house that wasn’t completely demolished.
"Pretty Sister! Don’t you find the houses here really strange?"
Xie Pan’Er giggled lightly. "Of course, it’s strange. As we said before, the main support beams of these houses are all rotten; they couldn’t have been used to build proper houses at all."
"It’s not just that! Pretty Sister, look. There’s no furniture in these houses, not even a bed!"
At Xiaosuisui’s reminder, Xie Pan’Er suddenly had an epiphany. Tapping her forehead, she said, "I think I understand now."
"What! Pretty Sister, what do you understand?" Xiaosuisui asked in confusion, but Xie Pan’Er had already turned and was walking towards the Emperor.
Xiaosuisui stood in the house, still wondering what Xie Pan’Er understood. Suddenly, Li Yanyan appeared in front of her, staring at her with eyes filled with jealousy, annoyance, and...
Xiaosuisui met her gaze and successfully heard Li Yanyan’s innermost thoughts.
Damn that little jinx, how is she still alive and even became the Grand Princess of Great Han Country? Why? All of this should be mine. I’m the Lucky Star. The one doted on by the Great Han royal family should be me. Why is it you?
Hearing Li Yanyan’s inner voice, Xiaosuisui was greatly surprised. She hadn’t imagined Li Yanyan would think that the title of Grand Princess should be hers.
"Li Yanyan, you’ve already received plenty. Moreover, I have never taken anything from you. So, please stop cursing me in your heart!"
Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, Li Yanyan’s face changed dramatically. She stared at Xiaosuisui, disbelief etched in her widened eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I curse you?"
Xiaosuisui crossed her arms, tilted her chin up slightly, and pointed towards Li Yanyan’s chest. "You’re cursing me in your heart."
"You...how do you know? I...I was just thinking..." Li Yanyan’s face turned deathly pale; for a moment, she felt like a child caught red-handed by an adult.
Seeing her suddenly pale face, Xiaosuisui didn’t bother with her any longer and simply walked away.
Li Yanyan watched her leave, her hands rigidly clenched.
She was just thinking it in her mind, how did that little jinx know what she was thinking? Is that a normal human ability?
"Yanyan, what happened to you?" The National Master came over, noticing her pale face and her frightened gaze fixed on the departing Grand Princess, who was now approaching the Emperor and reaching out for a hug. He asked in puzzlement, "Did you just speak to the Grand Princess? What did you two talk about? Did she bully you?"
Pointing at Xiaosuisui, Li Yanyan said to the National Master, "Master! She’s not human!"
"Huh?" The National Master was completely puzzled. "Why would you say that?"
"She...she seems to know what I’m thinking!"
"What did you say?"
"I was standing here just now, saying nothing, just silently grumbling a few bad things about the Grand Princess in my mind. She then warned me not to curse her in my heart!"
"Are you saying... she can read minds?"
"Read... read minds? What’s that?"
"It is a cultivation technique that was thought to be lost, however..." The National Master suddenly widened his eyes, involuntarily thinking of Qixia Temple, which the Emperor had surrounded with troops earlier on. Liao Kong’s imprisonment of the Grand Princess. Ji Youyuan’s hurried return to the capital. And the dry lightning from the heavens that had struck Qixia Temple a few days ago.
The National Master’s head was buzzing.
Many things clicked into place for him; it was as if, in that instant, he had figured almost everything out and understood it all. Perhaps the Grand Princess is the true Lucky Star with great fortune! Is His Majesty aware of all this? If he is, why did he not share this with me? Wait, I am the National Master. The responsibility to find the Lucky Star had been mine, and I unknowingly brought back an imposter! If this gets out, where could I possibly show my face?
The National Master was in complete disarray.
Xiaosuisui reached the Emperor and nestled in his arms. She hadn’t changed her clothes as she’d mentioned earlier and was still in her original attire, getting mud all over the Emperor’s robes.
"You little girl, you did that on purpose, didn’t you! Getting mud all over your father."
Xiaosuisui giggled cheekily. Xie Pan’Er, who was standing nearby, produced a handkerchief and instinctively moved to wipe the mud off the Emperor.
For a moment, breaths were held, the scene picturesque...
Xiaosuisui looked at the Emperor, whose face was red and heart was pounding, then at Xie Pan’Er, who had suddenly withdrawn her hand and turned to leave in frustration.
She didn’t understand what was going on between Pretty Sister and her Godfather Emperor.
"Godfather Emperor! Why is your face so red? And your heartbeat is so fast!" Xiaosuisui asked the Emperor in confusion.
The Emperor snapped back to his senses and coughed twice to cover his embarrassment. "It’s nothing, let’s go! Let’s find a place to stay!"
"Oh! Godfather Emperor, did your face get red and your heart beat fast because of Pretty Sister?"
The Emperor looked at her in horror and instantly covered her mouth. "Don’t talk nonsense, there’s no such thing!"
Xiaosuisui wanted to say,
Yes, there is! That’s what your heart is thinking!
However, she heard the Emperor grinding his teeth.
"Didn’t your eldest maternal uncle tell you to think before you speak? When you hear someone’s inner thoughts, you can’t just blurt them out!"
Only then did Xiaosuisui close her mouth.
Night fell. Instead of returning to Yunhang County, the Emperor and his group set up tents in a relatively flat and seemingly safe valley.
When Xiaosuisui heard they were going to stay in the wilderness instead of returning to Yunhang, her eyes lit up.
"Pretty Sister, I heard that when we stay in the wild, at night there will be..." Xie Pan’Er quickly covered Xiaosuisui’s mouth, muffling the last word, "wolves."
"You little troublemaker! I’m begging you, you’ve cultivated telepathy, but can’t you also quickly cultivate the art of keeping silent?"
Xiaosuisui touched her little head. "Ah Ling said I’m gradually maturing, so cultivating the art of silence is optional for me!"
"Who is Ah Ling? Wasn’t it the Eldest Young Master who asked you to cultivate the art of silence?"
Xiaosuisui fell silent.
Oh, I forgot, Pretty Sister doesn’t know my secret.
"Ah Ling is a good friend of mine!"
"You have friends? How come I didn’t know? Can I meet them when I get a chance?"
