“It's you master! You are my master! I'll never let go. Master! Oh, my master! Even if you beat me until my teeth fall out, I will not let go!” wailed the fifth princess. It made Ling Chuxi shiver.
“Ugh, please. Shut up. You sound like you're wailing at a funeral! I'm not dead yet!” roared Ling Chuxi angrily.
“Master, then it means you have agreed.” The fifth princess was overjoyed, but she still kept her grip firmly clamped around Ling Chuxi's thigh.
“Who has agreed to anything? Let go of me first!” Ling Chuxi was diligently thinking of a way to retract her thigh from the fifth princess' clutches. But the fifth princess had used all her strength this time, making sure to hold on as tightly as she could.
One was trying to free her leg from an unwanted embrace with a face filled with annoyance, while another was desperately holding onto the other's leg and wailing.
The sight of this scene made everyone present watch with widened eyes and mouths hanging agape. What an odd situation indeed! The princess who usually held herself in such high regard looked like a gangster right now, shamelessly holding onto Ling Chuxi's thigh and refusing to let go. And it was a rare sight to see Ling Chuxi reacting unexpectedly by being so full of contempt and fed up at being the recipient of the princess' adoration.
“Master, don't disown me,” pleaded the fifth princes. She continued expressing her willingness to comply with Ling Chuxi's requests by solemnly pledging her allegiance with an idiom, “If Master asks me to go east in the future, I won't go west. If you ask me to chase after a chicken, I won't fight a dog. I'll do whatever master asks me to do!” At present, she had already made up her mind to make Ling Chuxi her master. From the moment Ling Chuxi easily pointed out that she had used Thousand Gra.s.s Cream, to simply pinching together two pills to create a poison many times more potent than any of her own creations, to even more casually pinching together another two pills to create an antidote — the fifth princess was able to deeply understand that Ling Chuxi was truly a master in using poison! Ling Chuxi's achievement in this area was absolutely something she could not compare with. She must not miss this good opportunity. She had to become Ling Chuxi's disciple and learn her skills.
“So, you will do whatever I ask of you?” asked Ling Chuxi unkindly as she frowned at the fifth princess who was still hugging her thigh.
“Yes, master. I will do whatever you ask of me.” The fifth princess was nodding so rapidly, she resembled a chick pecking at rice. Her eyes were practically shining as she stared up at Ling Chuxi.
“I've heard you are very unruly,” said Ling Chuxi slowly.
“I'll change!” called out the fifth princess immediately in a serious tone.
“I've heard you are quite unreasonable,” drawled Ling Chuxi.
“I'll differentiate right from wrong and handle things wisely from now on!” pledged the fifth princess decisively.
“I've heard you constantly bully people and have no care for other people's lives,” said Ling Chuxi with a raised brow. “Oh, and this isn't hearsay, I personally just witnessed it.”
“I will love other people as though they were my own children in the future,” swore the fifth princess sincerely.
“I've heard…” Ling Chuxi was about to say something else. She took her time and began speaking rather slowly, but she was interrupted by the fifth princess.
“Master, don't worry. I will turn over a new leaf. I will do whatever master says. If master dislikes any part of me, I will change that part instantly!” The fifth princess was completely determined. “This disciple will serve you well.”
“Oh? All right then.” Ling Chuxi agreed after she thought about it for a bit. Upon seeing the fifth princess' delighted expression, she referred to herself in third person and added, “If master hears anything bad about you again, master will immediately chase you out the door.”
“Yes, yes. You have the final say, master.” The fifth princess blinked her starry eyes, feeling delighted to the extreme. Finally, she was willing to relax the grip of her hands around Ling Chuxi's thigh.
The corner of Ling Yichen's lips twitched. Was Ling Chuxi actually accepting a princess as her disciple? She already had a strong enough backer with Mu Liufeng as her master. And now, she had accepted a princess as her disciple! The fifth princess' unruliness was known by everyone, but in front of Ling Chuxi, she was as obedient as a little kitten. Who would believe this even if it was made known?
However, this was the truth!
