CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 319: YOU LIKE HER? CAREFUL, OR KING QIN MIGHT SHOOT AN ARROW AT YOU

Prince Rui gave Yun Ran a dark look, saying nothing.

Hmph! He’s neither blind nor a fool, does he need her to spell it out?

At this moment, someone spoke up fearlessly:

"How could that jade pendant possibly come down? Maybe that pigeon has flown out of these mountains with it by now!"

"I say, Prince Rui, why don’t you just admit defeat quickly? Or are you thinking of competing again?"

"That sister’s archery is godlike, aren’t you afraid of losing even more embarrassingly?"

Prince Rui: "..."

He shot a gloomy look at the girl who spoke, sunlight flickering like small flames in his eyes.

This damn Northern Barbarian! It’s not like she’s mute if she doesn’t speak!

First giggling like a fool, now jumping out to chirp away, where’s the dignity of a princess?

Foreign folks truly are foreign! Barbarians are barbarians! Unrefined and uncivilized!

Perhaps his gaze towards Xiao Xiao was too unfriendly, so Xiao Mohan suddenly turned to glance at him, "We people of the prairie are naturally straightforward and love to tell the truth, Prince Rui wouldn’t mind, would you?"

Prince Rui: "..."

No, I do mind! Don’t mistake vulgarity for straightforwardness! Love to tell the truth? I think you’re just looking for trouble!

"You’re kidding, Prince! The princess is lively and innocent, very charming! Why would I mind such a delightful personality?"

After saying this, he turned to Yun Ran, displaying elegance and grace, "This round, I’ve lost. My dear sister-in-law has extraordinary archery skills, truly impressive!"

Yun Ran gave him a slight wave, "I’m just an amateur, I can’t take the credit!"

Prince Rui: "..."

Hmph! Look how smug you are! It’s not like you hit a bullseye every time, you’re just lucky to hit a few jade pendants by chance! What’s there to be so proud about?

At this point, Yun Yan’s clear and righteous voice rang out in the field:

"In this contest, Princess Qin defeated Prince Rui three to zero."

Prince Rui glanced at Yun Yan with a perplexed look, couldn’t he just say who won directly? Does it need to be so detailed?

Just as he was feeling dissatisfied, he heard Yun Yan say aloud: "As the saying goes, a bet is a bet, now that the wager between Prince Rui and Princess Qin has been settled, it’s time to fulfill the promise."

Prince Rui: "..."

It’s like the emperor’s not in a hurry but the eunuch is anxious! Look how eager you are!

Even with countless complaints in his heart, Prince Rui turned with a generous smile to Yun Ran, "Sister-in-law, is there anything you wish for? Just say the word! As long as it doesn’t go against the laws of heaven and earth, I’ll satisfy it all."

Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, her gaze landing on Nangong Mo amid the crowd, her eyes brimming with admiration and infatuation, she said with a hint of pride:

"I used the archery my Prince taught me to beat you, which means it was my Prince who won against you."

Hearing this, Prince Rui instantly furrowed his brow, looking at Nangong Mo with disdain.

How could a cripple beat him? What nonsense is that crazy woman spouting now? What kind of absurd logic is this?

Nangong Mo didn’t even glance at Prince Rui, he was intently focused on Yun Ran, feeling a little complicated.

That damn girl finally uses those lovesick eyes to look at him! It’s not easy at all!

It’s a pity, it’s all for show to others!

Meanwhile, the onlookers were exchanging glances between Yun Ran and Nangong Mo, some envying their mutual admiration, others guessing Yun Ran’s intentions?

"You just provoked and ridiculed my Prince in every way, being extremely vulgar and rude. Now, I demand you apologize to my Prince."

"Bow and say: Prince Qin, I was wrong! It was my ignorance, arrogance, and conceit, please don’t hold it against me, and I dare not show off recklessly before you again!"

"As the ancients say, sincerity is shown through repetition, so you’ll need to say it eighty-one times to truly show your sincerity."

"???"

"!!!"

Prince Rui was dumbfounded after hearing this!

He couldn’t believe his ears!

That crazy woman really dares to think! Who gave her such imagination? Who gave her the courage to say that?!

Not only does she want him to apologize to that cripple and say those humiliating words, but also bow?! And say it eighty-one times?!

If she’s so capable, why doesn’t she just go to heaven?!

The onlookers were also bewildered, after the initial shock they began to discuss fervently.

"Come to think of it, what she said does have some logic? If her archery skills were indeed taught by Prince Qin."

"I don’t know if it makes sense, but she indeed loves Prince Qin to death! She clearly won’t allow him to be humiliated or suffer any grievance!"

"She avenges on the spot! And has the capability to do so! Such a bold and daring woman, being able to love and hate to such extremes! I like her!"

"Hold on! Be careful Princess Qin will shoot you an arrow!"

"..."

Amidst the murmurs, Prince Rui finally found his lost composure, his gaze slightly dark as he looked at Yun Ran.

"Sister-in-law, don’t you think this request is somewhat unreasonable?"

"Even if your archery was taught by the Ninth Prince, I was competing with you, so it doesn’t really directly involve the Ninth Prince, right?"

Yun Ran gave him a lazy glance, indifferent, "Oh? What’s unreasonable? According to the wager, the loser has to unconditionally satisfy the winner’s request."

"As the saying goes, correcting one’s mistakes shows greatness. Apologizing shouldn’t be something that goes against the order of heaven and earth, right?"

"As long as it doesn’t breach the order of heaven and earth, why do you care to whom I make you apologize?"

Prince Rui: "..."

Does that mean if you made me apologize to a dog, I have to do it?

"Prince Rui, Princess Qin’s request indeed aligns with the laws of heaven and earth."

The speaker was Yun Yan, and Prince Rui immediately glanced at him, sneering to himself: Why are you everywhere? Even if you don’t speak, no one takes you for a mute!

After grumbling internally for a while, Prince Rui forced a smile:

"General Yun’s words are true, I am indeed willing to apologize, however."

"Even when apologizing, does it need to be eighty-one times? This isn’t a journey to the west!"

Yun Yan thought for a second, then said with a serious face: "Although it’s quite a many, it doesn’t break the order of heaven and earth."

Prince Rui: "..."

Yun Ran coughed lightly, waving a hand, "Alright, alright, making you recite like a scripture for so long before my Prince, his ears are also suffering."

"How about this, you just need to say it three times, and for the rest, just pay three thousand taels of gold instead!"

Prince Rui: "???"

What did she say?!

Three thousand taels of gold?!

Why doesn’t she just rob outright?!

Even bandits need to expend manpower and resources to rob! She, on the other hand, just asks for three thousand gold out of the blue!

"Is it because Prince Rui is without money?"

"If you’re really poor or reluctant to part with three thousand taels, then it’s better to sincerely say it eighty-one times!"

Prince Rui: "......"

He doesn’t have money?!

Calling him poor?!

Who does that money-grubbing crazy woman think she’s looking down on?

Prince Rui flicked his sleeves, with an air of affluence, "I’ll add another thousand taels, and spare the three times as well."
