Baby, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you to the heavens and the seas!

"Tell me, for this spring hunt, does Young Master Luo wish to take the literary or martial arts test?"

Qing Tingyu propped his head up and glanced coldly at Qianqianluo, who was kneeling and kowtowing beneath him, grinning foolishly.

"Even the humblest can use their pens to bring peace to the world, and their martial prowess to conquer it on horseback!"

"Whatever His Highness the Crown Prince commands, this lowly person will do!" Qianqian fawned over the Crown Prince, rubbing his leg and then nuzzling her head against the little tyrant's boots.

It wasn't that Young Master Luo felt aggrieved; it was simply that the opposing tyrant had an overwhelming advantage, and she was just a math idiot who valued her life.

Qianqian kept trying to convince herself while continuing to fawn over the little tyrant with a sycophantic smile.

"Hmph! Can literature bring peace to the world?!"

"Martial arts can determine the fate of the world on horseback?!"

"Hahaha~ Young Master Luo, your writing is truly excellent, truly excellent! Hahaha!!"

Qing Tingyu stood up and clapped his hands in delight. After Yulan finished putting down the digestive soup, she immediately had someone bring the calligraphy to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Thin, luxurious rolls of Xuan paper were placed neatly on Qianqianluo's back. The little tyrant picked up a wolf-hair brush and began to sketch and draw aggressively on the Xuan paper.

Qianqian knelt down and bowed, working on the desk of the Crown Prince who was in the middle of a great deal of fun.

Wolf-hair brush dipped into the Xuan paper, and with the little tyrant's impromptu scratching motions, the brush hairs tickled Qianqian's armpits intermittently.

"Your Highness, it tickles~!!" Young Master Luo turned his head to look at the little tyrant, suppressing his laughter that was about to burst out.

"Young Master Luo, laugh if you want to! Why would I punish you?!" Qing Tingyu swung the ink brush at her armpit again, her face full of innocence.

"Ah! Hahahahahaha~!!"

"Waaaaah, hahaha!! Your Highness, Your Highness, this lowly commoner knows his mistake!!"

"Hahaha, this lowly commoner truly knows his mistake!"

Qianqian covered her mouth, trembling as she cried and laughed at the same time.

"Alright, I was just joking with you! Here, this is a piece of calligraphy that I'm giving to you servants!"

"Young Master Luo, please keep this safe and remember your promise made today!"

Several meters long of thick Xuan paper was spread out on the ground, and the ink that was not yet wet danced and swayed on the clean paper, clearly writing: "Martial arts can conquer the world on horseback!"

"This lowly commoner kneels in gratitude to Your Highness the Crown Prince!!"

"May Your Highness be well! May Your Highness be well!"

As Qianqian left, the Crown Prince bowed and thanked her, his hands trembling as he carefully held the scattered Xuan paper to his chest.

"Young Master Luo! It's alright, don't be afraid!"

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince had left, the young lady Shu'er quickly stepped forward to help Qianqianluo up and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

"No, it's nothing!!" Qianqianluo gratefully grasped Shuer's wrist and slowly got up.

"Shu'er, go and serve in the Crown Prince's inner palace!" Yulan, concealing her ulterior motives, subtly tried to get Shu'er away.

Upon hearing Yulan's order, Qianqianlu seemed to understand why she was so afraid of Shuer's contact with her: "Shuer, I'm fine, you go and serve in the inner palace!"

"Young Master Luo~ Alright, Shu'er will take her leave!"

With a reluctant sway, Miss Shu'er took light, graceful steps and drifted into the inner hall.

“Young Master Luo, Shu’er is still young and has many inappropriate thoughts!” Yulan stepped forward, kowtowed, and explained, her tone hesitant.

"It's alright, hahaha~ It's this humble commoner who has been so troublesome, troubling Miss Shu'er!!"

"Sister Yulan, the hot spring pool is ready!" Jin'er, who had finished filling the pool, came out from the inner hall, interrupting their conversation.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes! Young Master Luo, you should go to the hot spring to bathe! Don't keep His Highness the Crown Prince waiting!"

Yulan suddenly remembered this matter and quickly pushed Young Master Luo towards the inner hall.

"That's right! Young Master Luo! Jin'er will help you put away His Highness the Crown Prince's calligraphy. Please go inside!"

Jin'er and Yulan pushed the bewildered Young Master Luo, carefully put away the calligraphy, and forcefully pushed him into the hot spring pool.

"Ahhh!! I, I can walk! Stop pushing me!"

Bang!! "Ouch! My head hurts so much!"

A solid sound filled the misty hot spring pool. Qianqian looked up in confusion and saw the little tyrant, shirtless, staring intently at her with his red eyes narrowed and widened.

"I'm so sorry!"

Young Master Luo watched as several streams of water gathered on the Crown Prince's fleshy waist, rolling down into the little tyrant's bulging lower body.

She couldn't look away, her eyes fixed on the water droplets rolling down the little tyrant's waist and abdomen. Then, following the trajectory of the water droplets, she shifted her gaze downwards.

"Have you stared enough? Get inside and take a bath! This is outrageous!" Qing Tingyu ripped off the outer robe covering her lower body and slammed it hard against Qianqianluo's head.

"Ah! Yes, you lowly commoner, immediately go to the hot spring for a bath!"

Young Master Luo tore off the outer robe that had hit his head, and without daring to look back, he hurriedly plunged into the hot spring pool.

boom! ! ! !

With a gloomy expression, Qing Tingyu picked up the robe that the palace maid had put in at the hot spring pool and loosely tore it off and put it on.

He turned around impatiently and saw the lowly man with his head turned away from him and half of his body submerged in the spring water.

"Hmph! You worthless lackey!" The little tyrant said coldly, then stepped out of the hot spring pool with a composed expression.

Qianqianluo, dressed in a Sadako-style outfit, had only her head visible in the shimmering white spring. Her cascading, messy hair made her look even more like a headless ghost beheaded at the Meridian Gate.

Young Master Luo was still in shock. She swayed in the milky white spring, only her head covered with messy hair showing, playing around in the spring.

After a while, Qianqianluo was still soaking in the spring pool, swimming around vigorously.

As soon as Mei Ziye, who had come to fetch someone, entered the spring, she saw a dead man's head with cascading black hair floating in the milky-white water.

"What kind of demon are you?! Show yourself!"

Mei Ziye spoke too late and failed to catch the wandering dead man's head, which made him so angry that he drew his sword and stood on the spring in a helpless rage.

"What kind of monster are you?! How dare you trespass on His Highness the Crown Prince's territory?!"

"You shall reveal yourselves at once! Otherwise, I will surely beat you monstrous creatures to a pulp!"

Qianqianlu couldn't understand what kind of excrement the Plum Leaf Guard had grown up eating. Helplessly, she turned her head away and ruffled her messy hair.

"What kind of monster are you? Open your dog eyes and see clearly!!"

Qianqian straightened up from the spring, flicked her hand, and splashed all the milky white spring water at the arrogant plum leaf!

"Aaaaaah!! Qianqianluo, how dare you ambush me?"

"I'll fight you to the death!" After seeing the person in the spring, Mei Ziye grinned, threw down her sword, and plunged into the spring.

"Aaaaaah! My hair, Qianqianluo, you shameless bastard!!"

"You sissy, how dare you pull my hair! Let go!"

Mei Ziye slapped the dog's paws that were violently grabbing the ends of her hair in disbelief, her face contorted in pain.

"Hahaha~~ I told you to open your eyes properly, but you insisted you didn't. Tsk tsk tsk~ Poor thing, what a pity~!"

Qianqian climbed out of the spring and gracefully brushed off her wet sleeves.

She stood with her hands on her hips, laughing wildly, and then made a face at the plum leaves that were sobbing in the bath.
