What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 242 - 238: You Must Explain Yourself Clearly
When evening came, they fortunately came across a nomadic tribe and exchanged fur and gold and silver for some barley flour and a few pots of butter tea.
Tang Xiaobai was holding a steaming pot of butter tea and watching the Black Cavalry help set up camp when she suddenly saw Yingying’s expression change.
Turning her head, she realized that Mo Huan had arrived.
"What has Second Miss Tang done to our Young Master?" Mo Huan asked with a puzzled look.
Mentioning the little ancestor made Tang Xiaobai burst into laughter, stopping only when she saw Mo Huan frowning.
"What’s wrong with him?" Tang Xiaobai asked, trying to suppress her laughter.
"He went to fight with my brother," Mo Huan said, his face bitter.
Tang Xiaobai couldn’t help but laugh twice more, and asked, "Why doesn’t he fight with you?"
Mo Huan choked for a moment before asking again, "What exactly did you do to him? He hasn’t shown a good face all day."
Tang Xiaobai wanted to laugh again. "Isn’t he always like that?"
Mo Huan got a bit angry. "Our Young Master isn’t like this normally! Usually, he just doesn’t like to smile, but today, he’s angry! Others can’t tell, but can’t Second Miss see it?"
Tang Xiaobai smiled awkwardly.
"Ever since he met Second Miss, Young Master has been in a great mood these past few days, even enjoying being alone."
Tang Xiaobai blushed with a bit of guilt.
This morning, the little ancestor tried to transform into a gentle older brother but announced its end after only a quarter-hour.
Afterwards, he became even colder and more aloof, not showing anyone a good face all day.
Yet, the colder he looked, the funnier Tang Xiaobai found it.
So she just watched as the little ancestor sulked all day.
In retrospect, it was indeed a bit excessive.
"What should I do then?" Tang Xiaobai sincerely sought advice, "I can’t just join the fight, it’s too dangerous!"
"Dangerous? Who could hurt Second Miss?!" Mo Huan felt that Tang Second Miss was born to vex their master and servant, stepping on each of his angry spots.
"Should I go check it out?" Now that the conversation had reached this point, Tang Xiaobai felt it was inappropriate not to go.
She was just about to turn and leave when she saw Yingying.
Since Mo Huan appeared, Yingying had been particularly nervous, filled with a mixture of apprehension, shame, expectation, and fear.
With a change of heart, Tang Xiaobai turned to Mo Huan and said, "Do me a favor first!"
Mo Huan was about to get angry again.
Why was it so hard to get her to calm the Young Master down? Did it have to involve making conditions?
"Second Miss, please give your command!"
"Your Qinggong is quite good, right?" Tang Xiaobai asked.
"It’s average."
Tang Xiaobai looked around and pointed at the lake not far away. "Do you see the waterfowl in the middle of the lake?"
Mo Huan nodded.
"Can you catch it for me?"
Mo Huan frowned and looked around, "I’ll see if there’s a boat nearby."
"No!" Tang Xiaobai quickly stopped him, "I mean, can you—" she bent her fingers, making a finger-walking gesture in the air, "can you walk on the water?"
Mo Huan widened his eyes, "Is Second Miss asking for my life?"
"No, no!" Tang Xiaobai pulled him aside and whispered, "Do you remember the time in Lanzhou? At that time you... our Yingying was scared by your Qinggong!"
Mo Huan glanced at Yingying.
He hadn’t paid much attention to Tang Second Miss’s female guard.
This female guard’s looks were very ordinary, the kind that’s easy to overlook, just like his own brothers.
Such a look is a very good Shadow Guard seedling, Mo Huan thought, replying, "Should I apologize?"
"There’s no need," Tang Xiaobai said, "Yingying is a martial arts fanatic. She has been practicing day and night since losing to you last time and has always wanted to spar with you upon meeting again—"
"Then let’s spar!" Mo Huan wasn’t afraid of this.
"Yingying is shy and doesn’t dare to speak—"
"No problem, I’ll speak up."
Tang Xiaobai tightly held him.
Luckily, Mo Huan was slow in action when not carrying out tasks, so she managed to hold onto him.
"I mean, there’s no need for an official spar; just display your exceptional Qinggong." Tang Xiaobai said.
Although Yingying had high martial arts skills, she was extremely shy and insecure, and a formal spar might make her feel miserable if lost.
It’s better to leave some face for the girl!
Mo Huan wasn’t completely out of touch with social niceties, so he agreed.
After searching around, he pointed to a bright blue spot on the cliff and said, "Looks like there’s a flower there, I’ll go pick it for Second Miss!"
Tang Xiaobai responded with a series of "Mm-hm."
The mountain wasn’t far away.
Mo Huan gathered his energy and swept forward, moving effortlessly, covering several feet in one go before leaping into the air.
Today’s mountain was a nearly perpendicular cliff on the leeward side.
Mo Huan stepped on protruding rocks, making them feel like springs.
Every time he borrowed force, he propelled himself up a considerable distance.
Tang Xiaobai unconsciously clenched her fist and held her breath, watching in heart-thumping suspense.
This was way too thrilling!
Not only she but everyone around stopped their work and looked up at Mo Huan.
Going up took about a quarter of an hour.
He stopped at the designated spot and picked the flower.
Suddenly, Mo Huan leaped into the air.
A wave of gasps rang out at the foot of the mountain. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Jumping from such a height, wasn’t he going to turn into mush?
But Mo Huan didn’t intend to end it all.
Breaking several branches mid-air, he somehow used a technique that defied science to slow his descent speed upon nearing the ground, landing smoothly in the end.
"That’s incredible!" Tang Xiaobai couldn’t help but clapping and cheering.
Mo Huan let out a breath.
Even he thought he’d done quite well.
Being the little guard using all his might to mollify Second Miss was no easy feat!
Returning to Tang Xiaobai, he handed over the flower picked from the cliff, relaxing into a smile, "Second Miss, here’s the flower you wanted!"
Before he finished, a sudden wave of hostility hit the back of his head.
Mo Huan’s eyes narrowed, swiftly turning around, then freezing.
Behind him, among the crowd displaying amazed and even reverent expressions, the Crown Prince was watching him with a blank expression, his eyes dark, as if saying: You’re bold!
...
Though Mo Huan noticed the Crown Prince’s mood was somewhat unusual, he wanted to ask Tang Second Miss to come and calm him down.
But being usually slow-paced, he didn’t treat it as particularly urgent, so they took time to explain and clarify with Tang Second Miss and climbed the mountain.
Upon descending, he couldn’t care about anything else, directly picked up Miss Tang and left.
"Second Miss, you must explain clearly to our Young Master for me!"
"Did he just see it?" Tang Xiaobai hadn’t noticed.
Mo Huan nodded, wanting to cry but having no tears. "He glanced once before leaving." Maybe to think about how to torture him.
"It’s not a big deal if he saw; you’re martial arts are high, he can’t do anything to you," Tang Xiaobai reassured, "At most, he’ll kick you out, then you’ll be free!"
Mo Huan wiped his face: "I’m begging you, just explain well, don’t worry about other things!"
"Alright! Don’t worry!" Tang Xiaobai readily agreed.
Just as she lifted her foot to head towards Li Mu, she took two steps, and suddenly stopped—
