Chapter 202: Chapter 129: Liu Qingcheng’s Apology (Double Chapter)

The Little Princess is clever and quick-witted, and with her reincarnation experience, she shouldn’t need to worry too much.

However, this time, with Chu Wen Ruo’s "death," whether real or fake, it’s likely a major blow for her, and it’s uncertain if she can maintain her composure.

This princess of a fallen kingdom is finally going to embark on her long road of revenge alone...

But looking at it this way, the flood in Yong’an State certainly seems to have something to it.

The Divine Farmer Bureau is paying such close attention, and now Su Huaiying, who is practically omniscient, has come here.

Chen Kuang doesn’t think this is a bad thing; on the contrary, it might even assist him in obtaining "good karma."

...

Business at Xuni Pavilion has indeed become a bit difficult.

Several officials passed by the entrance all morning, and most of them stopped for a moment, as if they were keeping watch.

Originally a place for elegance and entertainment, it ended up being so disappointing that guests naturally didn’t want to linger.

Yu Xiangsi’s expression was somewhat hesitant, frequently glancing toward Lianmi’s room, unsure of what she was thinking.

The tasks assigned to Chen Kuang were not many, and he quickly found himself with nothing to do — naturally, this was Liu Qingcheng’s intention.

Otherwise, thinking of such a formidable monster that slays demons without batting an eye being ordered around to do odd jobs made her throat feel a bit itchy.

With nothing to do, Chen Kuang went to find Lianmi.

After working all morning, he found several more pieces of gold leaves in his hand...

Some were given as random rewards, and some were found when tidying up corners.

It seemed that those boxes of silver indeed still counted as part of his wealth.

Chen Kuang now felt like a walking pixiu, automatically drawing in wealth wherever he went, practically racing to fall into his hands.

Lianmi was washing clothes again; Lady Liu liked cleanliness and bathed and groomed daily, so she washed them every day.

Fortunately, the clothes weren’t dirty and only needed a quick wash, so the work wasn’t demanding.

Chen Kuang sat down casually, spreading his hand, a few shimmering gold leaves looking particularly dazzling in the noon sunlight.

Lianmi was stunned, her eyes widening, her mouth forming an "o" shape.

"Where...where did you get so much money?!"

She nervously pressed Chen Kuang’s hand down, whispering: "Oh dear, why are you so foolish! This kind of money... you should hide it well, if someone sees it, you’ll have to report it to the officials!"

Chen Kuang chuckled and shook his head: "Do you think I stole it?"

Lianmi pouted, saying: "Isn’t that so? Otherwise, where did you get so much money?"

Chen Kuang said: "I ran into a customer earlier, he got inspired and wrote a good poem, felt good, and wanted to give away money. He saw me nearby, asked if the poem was good, and I said it was great."

"He got so excited he threw me his money pouch and ran out to find friends."

Lianmi was dumbfounded, feeling dizzy: "How...is that possible?!"

How could there be such people in this world?!

Chen Kuang said: "The man laughed loudly at the sky and ran out like a madman; many people saw it."

Lianmi was stunned for a long time, finally accepting the reality, and couldn’t help but ask curiously: "Was his poem really that good?"

Chen Kuang thought for a moment and said: "It should be pretty good."

In reality, he hadn’t heard what the man had written at all.

Being asked out of the blue if it was good, he could only say it was.

Lianmi pouted dejectedly, looking at the gold leaves in Chen Kuang’s hand: "What kind of luck is this, how can you just sit there and have money come to you."

Chen Kuang smiled: "Yes, so, I can’t accept these gold leaves without merit, I’ll give them to you instead."

Lianmi was taken aback and said: "Really?"

Chen Kuang nodded with a smile: "How much more until the ransom money? I’ll flatter a bit more in the coming days, maybe I’ll earn enough for you."

Lianmi pressed her lips together, feeling a bit sour in her nose: "Just a little more, by next month, I’ll have saved enough."

"So...if you don’t want to flatter, you don’t have to."

Chen Kuang silently smiled.

This little maid really knew how to take care of someone’s pride.

Lianmi carefully put away the gold leaves, sincerely saying: "Thank you, other than Lady Liu, you’re the only one who’s been so kind to me."

Chen Kuang said: "I’m nothing special...once you’re free, you’ll meet more people who are kind to you."

Lianmi shook her head: "It’s different, meeting good people in good times and in bad times is not the same."

In her heart, she actually felt that she wouldn’t be able to buy her freedom.

Tonight, she’ll secretly slip these gold leaves under the door of Chen Kuang’s room.

"Lianmi, are you done washing? I’ve cleared a space for you to hang the clothes."

Another maid called from down the hallway.

Lianmi quickly responded: "Coming, coming!"

She hurried away with a wooden basin of clothes.

Chen Kuang retracted his gaze, turned around, and sneaked into Liu Qingcheng’s room again.

With the passive ability "You Can’t See Me," it was easy for him to lower his presence, as long as he didn’t speak or act out of line.

Lady Liu was in the room, carefully inspecting the performance prop, a soft sword, sometimes unable to restrain her excitement as she wielded the sword and moved.

Vaguely, it seemed she was imitating Chen Kuang’s move from last night, piercing Wu Man’s throat with a sword.

However, sword dance was ultimately just sword dance.

This soft sword, though visually impressive, lacked any lethality; it might at most break some skin.

She didn’t notice Chen Kuang in the room at all, fully absorbed in her dance, and just as she was about to rest and drink some tea after finishing, she turned and met Chen Kuang’s eyes.

"Ah!" Liu Qingcheng was shocked, then couldn’t help saying: "When did Senior arrive?"

Chen Kuang said: "Just now."

Liu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, thank goodness, she hadn’t been seen trying to imitate Chen Kuang’s sword move.

Chen Kuang continued: "Your sword dance is quite lovely."

Liu Qingcheng: "..."

Waaaah, she was seen after all!

Lady Liu’s icy face instantly flushed, almost turning beet red, feeling unbearable shame.

On a whim, she had thought of Chen Kuang’s clean and decisive sword strike last night and couldn’t resist trying it herself.

Unexpectedly, she was caught by Chen Kuang.

Chen Kuang hadn’t anticipated such a big reaction from Liu Qingcheng.

But thinking it over, Liu Qingcheng’s behavior was a bit like someone with Chuunibyou syndrome transforming with a Kamen Rider belt at home and being caught by family or relatives...

It was indeed quite embarrassing.

Chen Kuang chuckled silently and said: "If you want to learn swordsmanship, I can teach you, but whether you can comprehend it depends on your own ability." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Liu Qingcheng was taken aback, then delighted: "Thank you, senior!"

Chen Kuang asked: "By the way, do you have an answer for my question from last night?"

Liu Qingcheng nodded and said: "Thanks to senior’s enlightenment, I figured it out... I still acknowledge my human identity, and wanting to be a demon was just a momentary insincere desire."

She candidly admitted that her previous words were just an impulsive outburst.

Chen Kuang smiled and said: "The student can be taught."

"You must know, the Cultivation Techniques of the Demon Race awaken with their bloodline, completely different from humans. Your demon bloodline is too weak and hasn’t awakened, so you couldn’t practice Demon Race techniques."

"Had you chosen the Demon Race, even if I gave you a Cultivation Technique, you would only end up with Qigong deviation."

Liu Qingcheng, upon hearing this, was silently shocked.

It was indeed a test!

If she couldn’t face her true self, she would be on a path to destruction...

Liu Qingcheng quickly said: "By the way, I wanted to apologize to senior and offer a gift of apology."

She turned around, opened a cabinet, and took out a box.

"This Glazed Shadow Lamp was a gift from King Jingnan, said to perform Divine Power, keeping people still, but to me, it’s just a lamp."

"I wonder if it might be useful to senior?"

Liu Qingcheng opened the box, and inside was indeed a lamp made of colorful glazed glass.

"This lamp also has a peculiar feature; it doesn’t cast a shadow if it shines on a person."

Liu Qingcheng held the lamp, looked up, and was stunned.

Opposite her, Chen Kuang not only had a shadow behind him but two shadows!
