A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 627: Your Majesty, After This, Don’t Treat Me Like a Child and Coax Me, Your Adopted Father
Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Your Majesty, After This, Don’t Treat Me Like a Child and Coax Me, Your Adopted Father
Xie Pan’Er, not being a martial artist, was sent staggering backward by Li Yanyan’s push, almost falling to the ground.
Just at that moment, both Ji Youzhi and the Emperor reached out, trying to steady her.
In the end, it was the Emperor who caught Xie Pan’Er.
"Are you alright?" the Emperor asked.
Xie Pan’Er lightly shook her head, steadied herself, and replied, "Thank you!"
Her gaze remained fixed on Li Yanyan.
"This young lady is too domineering," Xie Pan’Er murmured.
As she murmured this, she heard Xiaosuisui yelling at the top of her lungs.
"Li Yanyan, you’ve crossed the line! Why did you push my beautiful big sister!"
Xie Pan’Er and the Emperor immediately turned their heads to look at Xiaosuisui and Li Yanyan.
They saw Xiaosuisui push Li Yanyan to the ground, then climb atop her and start pummeling her with her little fists, striking left and right.
Li Yanyan was pinned to the deck, wriggling and struggling beneath Xiaosuisui, wailing and shouting for her "Master!"
The Emperor was dumbstruck.
So was Xie Pan’Er.
Even Ji Youzhi and Princess Ata were utterly dumbfounded.
"El... Elder Princess!"
Finally, it was Princess Ata who recovered first, rushing forward to separate the two children.
"Elder Princess, stop! If you continue fighting, you’ll kill Miss Li!"
Princess Ata pulled Xiaosuisui away, and Xie Pan’Er also quickly helped Li Yanyan up.
"Miss Li, are you alright?"
Li Yanyan climbed up from the ground, her face bruised and swollen, tears and snot streaming down her face.
"Li Suisui! You jinx, you harbinger of misfortune, you embodiment of bad luck! Why did you hit me? I’m going to tell my Master! I’ll have him beat you to death!" Li Yanyan said, sobbing and wiping her tears.
"You’re the jinx! You’re the unlucky one! Such a crybaby! You run to your Master when you can’t win. Go on, tell him! Who’s afraid of whom, huh? Believe it or not, I’ll beat up your Master too!"
Xiaosuisui stood with her hands on her hips, angrily confronting Li Yanyan, her small fist waving in the air. Her tiny, fierce demeanor—adorable yet aggressive—made her look as if she wanted to eat Li Yanyan whole.
"You... you jinx! I’m not talking to you! I’m going to my Master!"
Crying, Li Yanyan ran off to find the National Master.
"Tsk! Before, when she couldn’t beat me, she’d run to Grandma. Now, when she can’t beat me, she runs to the National Master. How shameful," Xiaosuisui muttered, picked up her fishing rod, and started fishing.
"Elder Princess, you... seem to know Miss Li quite well," Xie Pan’Er asked curiously.
"She’s my cousin. She’s been like this since she was little. Always snatching my things, and if she couldn’t win them, she’d run to Grandma and get Grandma to help her snatch them!"
Xie Pan’Er’s mouth twitched. She reached out, patted Xiaosuisui’s little head, and praised her sincerely, "Elder Princess, you’re amazing!"
"Stop patting my head all the time! It makes me feel like a little kid, like I’ll never grow up!"
Xie Pan’Er was speechless.
"How old are you, to be saying you’re not a child?" Xie Pan’Er asked.
Xiaosuisui scoffed, "I’m not a child. In the future, Your Majesty, adoptive father, don’t coddle me like one."
Hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, the Emperor couldn’t help but start to question his very existence.
Ji Youzhi, on the other hand, was quite astonished.
"Her perfected intellect is truly formidable. In just a few short days, I feel Suisui has become like a little adult. Sometimes, I’m not even as clever as she is."
The Emperor nodded, agreeing with Ji Youzhi’s assessment.
"Exactly. You saw her fighting with Li Yanyan earlier. It looked like she was being vicious, leaving Li Yanyan bruised and swollen. But those were only superficial injuries; she didn’t actually hit any vital spots. Someone without that kind of shrewdness couldn’t have managed that."
When Ji Youzhi heard the Emperor’s words, he couldn’t help but smile.
"That little girl finally got her revenge. Previously, when she was at the Li Family’s home, she suffered quite a bit because of that Li Yanyan."
What Ji Youzhi said was no exaggeration. After all, as far as he knew, the reason his precious daughter had almost been buried alive later on was precisely because this Li Yanyan had tried to snatch her pendant!
"Looking at you two, you don’t seem worried at all that the National Master will get angry," Xie Pan’Er said. "Li Yanyan is the National Master’s only disciple. She was beaten black and blue by the Elder Princess. Aren’t you afraid that if she cries to him, the National Master will get angry and punish the Elder Princess?"
Xie Pan’Er was somewhat worried. In the Great Han, the National Master was a figure second only to one person and above tens of thousands. He was also a Sorcerer. To put it in layman’s terms, he was an existence of boundless magical power, like an Immortal from the heavens.
As she finished speaking, she heard the Emperor say coldly, "What’s there to be afraid of? As long as the National Master hasn’t lost his mind, he won’t come looking for trouble without reason."
In fact, the National Master truly hadn’t lost his mind. So, when Li Yanyan ran back to her room crying and complaining, he remained expressionless.
"Master! Li Suisui bullied me! She almost beat me to death!"
The National Master had been meditating on his bed, conserving his energy for the upcoming life-and-death battle with a certain Mister Wu after reaching Black Water Ridge. Unexpectedly, his little disciple burst in, crying and wailing, immediately lodging a complaint.
Looking at his disciple’s tear-streaked face, beautiful even in tears, and the purple and blue bruises from the beating, the National Master could clearly distinguish which marks were from the Elder Princess’s left hand and which from her right.
"How did you end up beaten like this by the Elder Princess?" the National Master asked, frowning. He quickly got off the bed, his brows tightly knitted together.
"She bullied me! She took advantage of her family having more people, pinned me down, and beat me! And she wouldn’t even let me use the fishing rod to fish!"
The National Master grew angry upon hearing his disciple’s words.
The Elder Princess is young and might not know better, that’s one thing, but are the adults on the ship also clueless? Seeing two children fighting, didn’t they know to intervene?
The more the National Master thought about it, the uglier his expression became.
He took a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Yanyan. "Apply this to your injuries; they’ll heal quickly."
Li Yanyan gratefully accepted the porcelain bottle from the National Master.
"Thank you, Master! Master, you must avenge me! You have to teach that jinx a harsh lesson!"
Hearing his little disciple’s words, the National Master was momentarily stunned.
"What did you say?"
Li Yanyan hurriedly replied, "I said you must avenge me! I’m your disciple! If Li Suisui hits me, it’s like slapping your face!"
She must have learned from a young age that a child who cries gets attention, right?
"Not that. What did you call the Elder Princess just now? A jinx? Why did you call her a jinx? And you just called her Li Suisui. Do you know her?"
The National Master had always been suspicious of the Elder Princess’s origins, but the Ji Family guarded the secret tightly, and the Emperor wouldn’t speak of it either. Even though he suspected the Elder Princess was the one blessed with great fortune, he had never known her true origins, nor had he ever seen her true face!
But now, suddenly hearing his own disciple insult the Elder Princess in such a manner, alarm bells instantly went off in his mind.
