Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 136 - 86: Masterful Acting!

Chapter 136: Chapter 86: Masterful Acting!
Upon seeing this scene, Linglong began to doubt whether she had really stepped on Black Stripe too hard and actually injured it.
She apologized to Huang Ying, saying, "Lord Huang Ying, I was absentminded while walking just now and accidentally stepped on Lord Black Stripe. I am willing to compensate for the medical expenses and I ask for your permission."
Regarding this auspicious creature, Black Stripe, Huang Ying didn’t dare to make the decision alone, so he said, "I’ll consult with His Highness later; let’s wait for his decision."
Linglong quickly nodded, "That’s how it should be!"
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Huang Ying clasped his hands in thanks to the onlookers, "Dear villagers, thank you for your care of our auspicious creature. The Crown Prince’s Mansion has prepared some small gifts, please don’t hesitate to accept them."
After speaking, she waved to two young attendants behind her, who immediately stepped forward with a tray. On the tray was a plate of golden melon seeds.
Hoom!
Upon seeing the golden melon seeds, the crowd immediately became lively.
The people didn’t expect that just by watching some excitement and saying a few harmless words, the Crown Prince’s Mansion would reward them with seeds.
Everyone expressed their thanks.
"Thank you, Crown Prince!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Rest assured, Your Highness, we will certainly take good care of the auspicious creatures!"
"Long live, long live, Your Highness!"
The crowd was bustling with noise, saying all sorts of things, all were flattering and praising words for Zhao Yi.
Huang Ying smiled broadly, pointing for the attendant to give each person a golden melon seed, especially that person who shouted "Long live" earlier; while others received one, he was given two!
Leaving the attendants to distribute the rewards, Huang Ying led Linglong into the Crown Prince’s Mansion.
Upon entering the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Linglong’s first impression was its vastness.
Zhao Yi’s Crown Prince’s Mansion was directly converted from the previous Sixth Prince’s Mansion.
He was used to living there and was too lazy to move, so he just replaced the plaque, considering it as the official enfeoffment.
Zhao Yi was famously wealthy in Shengjing City, and his official residence was naturally the largest as well.
Upon entering through the main gate, Linglong was immediately stunned.
Pavilions, terraces, carved beams, and painted rafters, mountains, lakes, flying birds, and animals—the expanse of the Crown Prince’s Mansion was comparable to a county town, even surpassing the Imperial Palace!
Linglong clicked her tongue in admiration.
Luckily, the Great Xia Zhao Clan wasn’t overly concerned with regulations, otherwise, Zhao Yi would definitely be guilty of usurpation given the scale of his mansion!
Following Huang Ying for half an hour, Linglong finally arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.
From a distance, Linglong saw a green figure rapidly moving in the arena, beating a suspended sandbag!
Upon closer inspection, the green figure was Zhao Yi, wearing a green robe.
The sandbag was... Taotie?
Linglong recognized Taotie; she had even eaten Taotie’s meat at the Monument Forest before.
Though she knew Zhao Yi didn’t regard Taotie much, using it directly as a sandbag seemed a bit too disrespectful to a Divine Beast?
While Linglong was pondering, Zhao Yi stopped, and a nearby little creature promptly offered him a slightly damp warm towel.
Splat!
On the other side, a cold-faced maiden in a blue long dress, Qing Feng, unsheathed her long sword and let down the suspended Taotie.
Taotie, beaten into a pulp, had only its mouth still intact.
Looking at Zhao Yi, it licked its appeasing face and said, "Master, can I choose veal for my extra meal later?"
Linglong: "..."
Getting beaten as a sandbag just for a bite of beef?
Is this really Taotie?
PS: Folks, I was such an idiot! These past few days, I’ve been coughing and running a high fever, doing all sorts of tests, thinking I was going to die, only to find out later I didn’t go for a checkup—it was actually COVID. The past two days almost scared me to death!
Since there’s no issue, there’s nothing more to say! Starting tomorrow, I’ll continue ruthlessly!
