My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along
Chapter 349 - 333: Enchanted by Him, Fallen for Him
CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 333: ENCHANTED BY HIM, FALLEN FOR HIM
Prince Rui still maintained the posture of supporting himself on the ground, as if frozen there like a sculpture, with only his eyes moving.
His eyes were fixed on Yun Ran, with small flames flickering inside.
She truly is, as rumored, a bringer of bad luck! A disaster star! A jinx! Everyone who gets close to her becomes unfortunate!
"Oh dear! My lord!"
The attendant of Prince Rui exclaimed and dashed to his side, producing a handkerchief from somewhere, and frantically wiped his head.
Prince Rui’s face was sullen, his face black as the bottom of a pot from extreme anger and disdain.
The attendant looked at him, his voice trembling, "My lord, please bear with it a little longer, it will be cleaned up soon."
Prince Rui thought of something, a flash of rage crossed his eyes, and he suddenly pushed the attendant away and got up to leave quickly.
Before leaving, he turned his head and glared at Yun Ran fiercely.
Yun Ran immediately returned a friendly smile and kindly comforted him:
"Your Highness Prince Rui, actually you don’t need to be so angry and worried. This could also be considered a good omen! It’s called ’fortune at your doorstep,’ maybe you’ll hit a stroke of luck soon!"
"..."
I don’t believe your nonsense! You untruthful jinx!
Prince Rui let out a heavy cold snort, not wanting to look at her any longer, and left angrily at the fastest speed.
"What are you snorting about? You brought misfortune upon yourself and blame my Yue’er? It’s no wonder that among so many people here, only you had bad luck!"
Shen Weixi pursed her lips at Prince Rui’s retreating figure, then turned excitedly to Yun Ran, "Yue’er, quickly tell me how you managed to catch that big one?"
"Roar——"
The big one immediately bared its teeth at Shen Weixi, with blazing tiger eyes, savage fangs, and an overwhelming aura.
Shen Weixi’s little heart skipped a beat, instinctively hiding behind Yun Ran, "It’s quite fierce!"
Yun Yan hadn’t left either, standing nearby watching Yun Ran and Golden Fur, with seven or eight people by his side.
Yun Ran looked over at him and smiled, "Does General Yun have something to say?"
Yun Yan’s brow slightly furrowed, the girl before him had bright eyes and shining teeth, her starry eyes glittering like water. When she looked at you with a charming smile, it would inevitably soften your heart, even making it hard to look at her coldly.
Shaking off the unexplained feelings, Yun Yan glanced at the obedient Golden Fur by Yun Ran’s feet, "Does Princess Qin understand Beast Taming Skill?"
Earlier they had witnessed her extraordinary archery skills. Her solo hunt of a tiger, while incredible, wasn’t beyond belief.
But a tiger is the king of the jungle, exceedingly fierce, naturally ferocious, its wildness hard to tame. To tame a tiger, even the best Beast Tamer would need over a month.
Yet today, the hunt had only just begun for half a day. She could completely subdue the tiger.
Facing Yun Yan’s question, Yun Ran did not hide anything and openly admitted it, but she said her Beast Taming Skill was taught by Nangong Mo.
She also said that what she had learned was not even a tenth of his skills.
Those present, although shocked, found it completely credible.
Under King Qin, there was once a Wolf Cavalry. Their invincibility terrified enemy forces of all nations.
They were called the Wolf Cavalry not just because the soldiers were all brave and fierce, fighting with the courage of wolves, but also because their mounts were not horses, but tamed snow wolves.
Thus, everyone knew that there were masters of Beast Taming under King Qin. Rumors even said that King Qin was himself a Beast Taming expert.
However, people always believed that taming beasts took a considerable amount of time.
Now, this girl’s Beast Taming Skill was taught directly by King Qin, and she claimed to be far inferior to him.
Yet she managed to tame a fierce beast within half a day, so just how formidable must King Qin’s Beast Taming Skill be?!
Many thoughts filled their hearts at once. Ah, King Qin, what a remarkably talented individual! His tactics, strategies, cultural and martial prowess, his riding and archery skills as well as this Beast Taming Skill... yet now, both his legs are crippled, confined to the tiny Capital City.
Yun Yan couldn’t help but think of his fifth uncle, sadness growing in his heart.
His fifth uncle was once a battlefield hero, storming through war for the nation. But now, his legs are crippled, stuck to a sickbed, unable to protect the world he wanted to guard.
Yun Yan sighed deeply in his heart, suppressing his melancholy, he cupped his fist towards Yun Ran, "King Qin is incredibly talented and will surely be blessed by good fortune; may he recover soon."
Yun Ran smiled at him, "Thank you!"
That dog-man has already recovered but continues to play blind and crippled...
According to Weixi, someone in the Yun Family also had their legs injured and found it difficult to walk, may he recover soon too!
...
Within half a day, rumors that ’King Qin’s Beast Taming Skill is unmatched in the world and that he can tame a fierce beast within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn’ had spread throughout the Qishan camp.
Additionally, rumors about King Qin’s favored consort spread wildly, elevating the name of King Qin’s consort to new heights.
"I never would have thought! Not only does King Qin teach her riding and archery, but even the Beast Taming Skill!? Is he imparting all his knowledge? I wonder what else he’s taught her?"
"Probably everything he should and shouldn’t teach. She might become the heir to all of King Qin’s exceptional skills!"
"Wasn’t it rumored back in the Capital City that the eldest Lin Family daughter was weak and foolish, quite useless? Who knew she learned so quickly! Seems she has quite the talent after all!"
"Maybe being around King Qin for too long made her smarter?"
"I think she’s become more arrogant. Just think of how she used to be like a little lamb, and look at her now, audacious and wild! She’s a match for the unpredictable and tyrannical King Qin!"
"Now that you mention it, it really is like that!"
...
Nangong Mo sat in the tent, listening to Ye Xiao report on the day’s happenings outside.
Including, of course, those rumors.
But his brows were picturesque, his demeanor graceful and calm, like still water. Seated in a wheelchair, he held a scroll, casually flipping through it.
Ye Xiao couldn’t fathom his master’s thoughts, cautiously glanced at him, and nervously rubbed his nose, "Sir, who would have thought that the Princess has such deep feelings for you!"
"It must be your extraordinary personal charm that captivated and conquered her, making her fight fiercely on your behalf! Sir, are you particularly excited at this moment? Do you have anything you want to say?"
"Speaking of which, the Princess also caught a little white fox, and rumor has it that this white fox is very spiritual! Do you think the Princess will give it to you as a token of affection?"
Nangong Mo finally lifted his gaze slowly looking at Ye Xiao, his thin lips slightly moved, and coldly spit out a single word:
"Get out."
Ye Xiao: "Huh? Get out? You heard so much about the Princess and that’s the only word you have to say?!"
