My Unrivaled Princess: I Won’t Mess With You - Chapter 82
Half a a month had passed uneventfully, Luo Qianqian made progress in leaps and bounds, she had mastered the essence of Lightness Skill and she had made progress in controlling Internal Chi through steady cultivation. Murong Xue had also had her first taste on Internal Chi under Sun Zhe’s instruction, the girl was stoked and more motivated, Luo Qianqian was so happy for Murong Xue.
Luo Qianqian had also learned quite a few moves from Murong Xue, she could take two strong men at this point easily, or she could flee the scene if they were strong cultivators.
While Murong Yun was not doing that great, Lin Zimo had gave him an overall check after last full moon, Lin Zimo urged Murong Yun to take better care of himself for it had come to a critical point now and they needed to give it all to find a cure.
Luo Qianqian had never bother to ask anyone in the mansion about The Second Concubine and Luo Keer since that night, she simply didn’t care, all she knew was The Second Concubine deserved it. And a bonus she wasn’t quite expecting was The First Lady and Luo Yuyan became low profile as well, it was a good thing at the moment for Luo Qianqian to just focus on her own growth and Murong Yun’s cure, she didn’t want to spare any attention to deal with any more drama.
Prime Minister Luo was more and more biased towards Luo Qianqian and Luo Qianqian was willing to play along.
Feng Qing was sent to look for herbal medicine in Snow Mountain by Luo Qianqian, and it took him a great deal of efforts to finally spot one herbal medicine on the cliff, while Luo Qianqian wasn;t sure it was Saussurea Involucrate or Exotic Icedew Fruit.
There were sixteen herbal medicine remained to be found, and Luo Qianqian was so anxious about it day and night while Murong Yun looked quite collected and poised all the time. There was always a sound in Luo Qianqian’s head urging her to find the medicines as soon as possible or she needed to turn to Xiao Bai and discuss a plan B.
Luo Qianqian tried to not to get over worried and learning martial arts in the tavern was a very useful way to distract her. She had kept a routine of getting up early and going to the tavern to cultivate for a solid couple of hours with Murong Xue and going back home where she cultivate Internal Chi by herself.
There was a difference in her life now, Murong Yun would always visit her after she finished cultivating in the tavern and sometimes he would just linger in Luo Pavilion using lame excuses.
Luo Qianqian would insist on getting to the bottom of the matter and ask Murong Yun why was he lingering, but as time went by, she wouldn’t bother to see this visitor out, she didn’t mind spending time with Murong Yun at all, Murong Yun could serve as a great instructor as well, why not?
“Murong Yun, I saw Mu Chaoyang this afternoon.” Luo Qianqian finished her training this day and recalled what happened in the tavern. “Somehow he showed up in the tavern, and I heard he is fresh out of jail or something recently, do you know about that?”
Luo Qianqian didn’t raise her head when people discussed the arrival of Mu Chaoyang, she thought Mu Chaoyang was probably there to pay a visit to her Master Shifu Master Lingtian or Murong Xue.
To her surprise, Mu Chaoyang was there to see her!
“Oh? What was he doing in the tavern?” asked Murong Yun, he tried to spend time with Luo Qianqian because he was worried about Luo Qianqian’s safety especially with Feng Qing’s absence.
“I think he went nuts.” was the reply.
“Nuts?”
“Yeah, I think he is a mad man now.” Luo Qianqian’s voice controlled.
Murong Yun’s lips curled, somehow he found that reply quite pleasant, “Why do you say so, what happened Qianqian?”
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes and replied, “He asked me to marry him, isn’t he nuts? I mean isn’t he a mad man? How very dare he!”
“He asked you to marry him?” Murong Yun’s face darkened and the coldness in his voice was plain.
However Luo Qianqian didn’t notice that, she continued, “Yeah, can you believe that? But I think chances are he was kidding just to annoy me, because he was well aware that was not going to happen!”
‘He knows I’m betrothed to you, Murong Yun, so this must be one of his sneaky strategies!’
“And you know what’s even funnier, he says I can only be one of his concubines, what a stupid twat!”
‘I would be even a bigger twat if I choose to be his concubine instead of your princess!’ Luo Qianqian screamed in her heart.
“He definitely has no idea what he has put himself into.” killing intent filled Murong Yun’s eyes.
‘Mu Chaoyang, you know you are courting death.’
“Would you like to go to the Palace with me tonight?” Murong Yun asked gently, “It’s my mother’s birthday today.”
It was the emperor’s birthday to be accurate, Murong Yun’s mother and father had the same birthday. But Murong Yun only thought about going for his mother.
“I don’t want to.” Luo Qianqian pouted.
She was a bit worried about the occasion where she had to social with so many people, she knew a lot of officials and their family would attend this gathering.
Murong Yun saw through her and gently said, “No need to worry, I will be there for you.”
“Do I have to go?”
“Mother wants to meet you.”
It was natural for Murong Yun’s mother wanted to meet the future daughter-in-law, plus it was a bit inappropriate for Murong Yun not to show up at such a big occasion for Murong Yun’s mother.
“Is there anything I should pay attention to? Like the dress code?” Luo Qianqian asked cautiously, she didn’t want to be made fun of.
“No, you just stay with me.”
“All right then.” Luo Qianqian felt so secure hearing what Murong Yun just said.
Soon Butler Luo knocked on the door and told Xiao Yue about the gathering.
Xiao Yue told Butler Luo that Luo Qianqian would go with Murong Yun.
The First Lady and Luo Yuyan were all dressed up and ready to shine, The First Lady told Luo Yuyan while she was combing Luo Yuyan’s hair, “Yuyan, my good daughter, I need you to impress the Crown Prince tonight, can you do that for me?”
Luo Yuyan nodded, she had always been looking for opportunities to meet the Crown Prince and win his heart.
“Mother, I won’t disappoint you.” Luo Yuyan’s tone was so firm and she was confident she could create an opportunity to make fun pf Luo Qianqian at the gathering for Luo Qianqian hadn’t attend any big occasion.
Luo Yuyan was excited!
