Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Little Princess of the Poisonous Insect Clan
Mu Yan saw Huang Gun wink at him, but he didn’t think much of it, as Huang Gun’s way of doing things was always surprising.
Huang Gun pulled Xue Lingling aside and said, “Don’t act rashly, I’ve got a plan, believe !”
In Xue Lingling’s eyes, Huang Gun was a great person. She nodded earnestly, “Alright, I won’t take action during the day.”
Huang Gun’s lip twitched as he said, “You can’t act at night either!”
This little girl was so stubborn, always pining for a man who didn’t love her.
Huang Gun glanced at Vermilion Bird, his eyes shifted as he said, “Ah, I’m so cold, could Brother Vermilion Bird kindly look after Xue Lingling for ?”
After saying that, he dashed off into the cabin.
Vermilion Bird’s brow twitched violently, and Zhan Lan smoothly suggested, “Vermilion Bird, why don’t you take this young lady to change into one of my clothes!”
On a boat, it’s common for clothes to get wet, so Zhan Lan always kept a few clothes and cloaks on board.
Mu Yan nodded at Vermilion Bird with an expression that said he was enjoying the show.
Vermilion Bird broke into a cold sweat and awkwardly said, “Master, Madam, I…”
Zhan Lan intentionally teased Vermilion Bird, wanting to laugh at his embarrassed look.
Xue Lingling looked at Mu Yan, then at Zhan Lan, and suddenly realized, “You’re the Regent Princess Consort?”
Zhan Lan nodded, and Xue Lingling pulled her aside, saying, “Princess, you saved , I won’t seek revenge against you.”
Zhan Lan looked up and down at Xue Lingling; last night Mu Yan had told her that from the anklet bell the girl from the Poisonous Insect Clan wore, she was the daughter of the Clan Leader.
The Clan Leader of the Poisonous Insect Clan only had this one daughter, doting on her imnsely, which resulted in her exceedingly pure nature.
Plus, everyone in the clan adored this little princess, so she hardly understood any intricate sches.
She was straightforward and without guile, but considering the love the Poisonous Insect Clan Leader had for her, it was unlikely he’d let her co to Ding’an City alone.
Unless there was one possibility: she had sneaked away from the Poisonous Insect Clan!
“My na is Zhan Lan. I’ve heard Huang Gun call you Xue Lingling. Since Huang Gun is my friend, you’re my friend too, aren’t you?”
Xue Lingling nodded sincerely, smiling, “Yes, we are friends!”
“Then, the lake was so deep just now, and Vermilion Bird saved you desperately, isn’t he your savior?” Zhan Lan continued.
Xue Lingling glanced at Vermilion Bird, nodded in agreent, “Yes, he is my savior.”
“So, what are you here in Ding’an City for?” Zhan Lan patiently inquired.
Xue Lingling looked at Mu Yan and said, “I overheard my father talking with the elders that the Regent King captured so of our Poisonous Insect Clan mbers. I’m here for revenge!”
Zhan Lan understood; it was because the Blood Moon Organization from the Poisonous Insect Clan had attempted to assassinate them earlier, so Xue Lingling ran out for revenge.
“You’re all alone, how will you seek revenge? The Regent King is quite formidable.” Zhan Lan continued prying.
Xue Lingling pursed her lips and said, “I know. Actually, I ran away from the Poisonous Insect Clan because I don’t want to marry the person my father wants to!”
Zhan Lan, with just a few words, uncovered all of Xue Lingling’s affairs.
This girl’s mind was quite pure.
Most likely, the people from the Poisonous Insect Clan would soon co looking for her.
Zhan Lan gently patted Xue Lingling’s shoulder and said, “Change into my clothes first, don’t catch a cold. Besides, Vermilion Bird saved your life, he is the Dark Guard Commander under the Regent King, you shouldn’t repay kindness with malice!”
Xue Lingling thought for a mont and said, “You’re right!”
Zhan Lan looked at her doe-like eyes, clear and a little foolish.
Xue Lingling was too well protected by her father, such a person isn’t suited to the cunning royal city.
The Poisonous Insect Clan had many tribes, in addition to several assassin organizations.
The Clan Leader wouldn’t be so stupid as to send people to kill and let his daughter seek revenge; there must be so misunderstanding.
Since Xue Lingling wouldn’t stay in Ding’an City for long, it was better not to pair her with Vermilion Bird.
Zhan Lan took her hand and said, “Co on, I’ll take you to change clothes.”
Xue Lingling changed her clothes; slightly big on her as they were Zhan Lan’s.
The white dress made Xue Lingling seem less like a woman from an alien tribe and more like a delicate South Jin lady.
Her pair of dark brown eyes also didn’t look so extraordinary anymore.
“This dress is so beautiful, with gold thread embroidery…” Xue Lingling admired the intricate and beautiful gold embroidery.
Having never left the Poisonous Insect Clan’s settlent, Xue Lingling appeared curious about everything.
However, Zhan Lan knew this little girl wasn’t simple; in a past life, she had heard that the little princess of the Poisonous Insect Clan was a poison-making expert.
She had an exceptional talent for making poisons. Despite looking naive now,
once in her domain, given a poison-making room and suitable materials, she would transform into a different person.
This is why so people appear foolishly single-minded but once in their expertise, they shine with charm.
Vermilion Bird glanced at Xue Lingling in her new dress; though her hair was a bit disheveled, she looked quite pretty.
Vermilion Bird looked coldly towards the lake, thinking: What does it matter to him.
Zhan Lan brought her into the cabin, and seeing Mu Yan, Xue Lingling thought of asking him for people, but looking at his unparalleled handso face with an off-limits aura, she shrank back behind Zhan Lan.
The mbers of her Poisonous Insect Clan excelled in poisoning and assassination, but she neither had poison nor assassination skills now.
On second thought, better to wait until acquainted with the Regent King before asking for people!
Her father told her if she couldn’t take it by force, then be persistent.
She gazed intently at Zhan Lan’s stunning profile, believing this Princess, now her friend, would surely put in a good word for her!
Xue Lingling’s eyes landed on the pastries on the table, and she swallowed.
The buns from breakfast had been nearly spent, and after struggling in the water earlier, she was very hungry!
Noticing her fixated gaze on the pastries, Zhan Lan laughed and said, “Sit down and join for so pastries and fruits.”
Xue Lingling’s spirits lifted, gazing eagerly at Zhan Lan, gratefully saying, “Thank you!”
Stealthily observing the three squeezed together again, Huang Gun slapped his thigh and ca over, saying, “Ah, Prince and Princess, why not enjoy the scenery on the deck, while I accompany Miss Xue Lingling with so pastries!”
He plopped down beside Xue Lingling, while Mu Yan took Zhan Lan’s hand and walked away.
Standing on the deck, Mu Yan looked at Huang Gun thinking: So Huang Gun likes this kind of little girl.
Forget it, let him have his space!
