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

"Hmm... Hmph!!!"

"Ah! Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"

"Don't use too much force, waaaaah~ Be careful, be careful not to hurt your hand!!"

Qianqian felt the cold needles pricking and scratching her bones, causing her to gasp in pain.

She had already finished drawing the tattoo that suited Mo Fanfan, while His Highness the Crown Prince was still using a cold needle to poke the outline on her waist.

Mo Fanfan was escorted by the Crown Prince's personal guards back to the Crown Prince's residence outside the city early on, so that she could rest and recuperate properly!

Now, the exciting trio has been reduced to just her and the little tyrant, who can't stand each other anymore!

"Endure it!!"

"Shut up! If you make another sound, I'll cut out the tongues of all you lowly commoners!!"

Qing Tingyu hurriedly pressed his head against Qianqianluo's waist and abdomen, his voice hoarse as he picked at the drops of blood that had formed beads from her tears.

"Hahaha!! General Luo's waist is covered in bloodstains~!!"

"Hmm~ There's even a hint of cool fragrance?!"

Qing Tingyu raised his hand to wipe the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and impatiently brought his blood-stained hand close to his nose to smell it.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright yet?!" Qianqianluo's face was pale with pain, and her head was spinning.

Her vision was blurry, and her ears were terribly hollow; she couldn't hear the little tyrant's perverted questions at all.

"Hmph! What's the rush?!"

"Today, I have tattooed General Luo's delicate waist. General Luo, you must behave yourself!"

"Once you've gone to the northern deserts, you'll be unbearably lonely and seek pleasure. When others strip you naked, take a good look at the tattoos I've left on you lowly commoners!!"

"Hahaha~ Don't forget your master, you've lost your virginity!"

"And don't bring back any wild men or mistresses from the northern deserts for me!!"

Qing Tingyu held the sheep hair brush dipped in special pigment, his gaze deep and inquisitive!

The specially made pigments have side effects that are excruciating and scorching.

The vibrant paint, dotted with tiny specks, mingled with the bloodstains on Qianqian's waist, creating a scene of exquisite beauty.

"what!!!"

"It hurts!! It hurts!!"

"Ouch, it hurts so much! Ouch~!"

Qianqian was swayed from side to side by a sudden burning pain in her waist. She struggled to crawl off the soft couch.

"Hmph, over your own strength!"

"What are you crawling for? What are you running for?!"

"Could it be? General Luo really has a lover in the northern desert? A mistress?!"

Qing Tingyu's face was filled with anger, but a smile played on his lips: "This royal insignia is not something anyone can possess!"

"This is a great honor for you all!!"

"Why would you still be thinking about running away? Hmm!!"

Qianqian was stunned to hear that the tattoo on her body was actually the imperial emblem of the Qingting royal family, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Mmm~ Be a good girl and listen to me!!"

"I didn't want to treat General Luo like this. With the royal insignia tattooed on him, no one will dare to lay a finger on him!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Why are you lowly commoners so ungrateful for my good intentions?!"

Qing Tingyu continued to vigorously wield the wolf-hair brush, coloring and shaping the painting on Qianqian's waist.

Qianqian fainted from the pain, tears streaming down her face, and unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

After a long while!

His Highness the Crown Prince's noble white robe was stained with blood and paint, and the lifelike painting was dancing on Qianqian's waist. This punishment of love had only just begun!

Dark clouds stretched into the night sky, thunder rumbled with the heavy rain!

The capital city was finally hit by a long-awaited downpour.

Temperatures plummeted, and a sudden cold wave swept through the entire capital city, bringing with it a chilly fog and dampness!

On the high walls of the imperial palace, the list of successful candidates, marked by apricot blossoms, was battered and shattered by the torrential rain.

The students waiting for the results to be announced, along with the guards of the mansion, gathered in a dense crowd at the place where the results were posted, chattering and making noise all at once.

"Wow! His Highness the Crown Prince is exceptionally talented; he's taken the top spot!"

"The second one is the eldest son of the Minister of Works!"

"The third one?! The third one is actually Mo Xuanyu, the eldest son of the Mo family?!"

"Hey! Make way, make way!" Pang Er had just finished browsing the brothel when he heard that Mo Xuanyu was going to compete in the third round of the imperial examination. He was so shocked that he jumped off the carriage!

"Look, sir!" Pang Erpang tore off the Apricot Blossom Ranking with his hand and swaggered into the carriage.

"Hey! How could this person be like this?!" The remaining students shouted angrily, waving their sleeves.

"Keep your voice down! This is the son of a noble prince from the capital!"

"That's right! Don't provoke any trouble! Isn't there still the list of martial arts candidates?!"

The onlookers comforted the students dressed in coarse clothes and then turned their attention to the announcement of the martial arts examination.

"Oh my goodness~ This young master Luo is truly a dashing young man, actually taking the top spot in the martial arts examination?"

"Secondly, there's General Yang!"

"Hahaha, the third one is Prince Mu, a member of the Qingting royal family!!"

"Incredible! Young Master Luo is truly a chosen one of heaven, a celestial being descended to earth!"

Outside the city, there was much discussion and a large crowd of people, making it difficult for carriages and horses from all over the capital to travel.

Yang Chenqing went out of the manor to purchase gifts for the marriage alliance between the Lu family and the royal princess next month. When he heard the people talking about Young Master Luo, he thoughtfully stopped the carriages in the manor.

"How is it, young master?! Is there anything else you need to purchase?!"

"Young master, the rain is pouring down! This servant will go and make arrangements. Please don't let him get hurt!" The coachman humbly advised, opening his umbrella to shield his young master from the rain.

Yang Chenqing's face was thin, and he had grown considerably taller.

He took the umbrella from the coachman and said with a warm smile, "You all should go back to the manor first! I have important business to attend to!"

Watching the young master leap down from the carriage with such dashing bearing, and hearing that gentle and soothing voice.

The coachman was momentarily stunned: "Young master! No, no, the general wants you to go home early!"

As the coachman came to his senses, he realized that his young master had already disappeared into the crowd, his way home unknown!

Inside Xuanwu Gate!

The torrential rain splashed so hard it was impossible to open your eyes!

Yang Chenqing, holding a plain white bone fan, walked alone in the rain and mist, his solitary figure slowly disappearing into the mist.

The gates of the East Palace were closed tighter than ever before!

Because the immortals on His Highness the Crown Prince's bed need to be kept inside, it is natural to tighten the palace gates and keep outside any visitors.

Yang Chenqing was the one who was rejected!

A young man with a slightly weathered air stood outside the East Palace gate, remaining motionless for a long time.

The guards who came to deliver the message refused Yang Chenqing's visit, saying, "Young Master Luo has contracted a cold and is unable to receive guests!"

Qianqianluo is indeed sick!

Since His Highness the Crown Prince completed his tattoo, she had been in a coma for more than half a month, spending every night in the Crown Prince's private quarters without waking up.

The imperial guards, who had been on guard duty, knelt outside the fragrant and smoky inner bed, interrupting His Highness the Crown Prince's tireless exploration day and night!

"Your Highness, General Yang has come to pay a visit!"

On the inner couch, the naked Crown Prince was getting up to dress when he heard the guard's report, and the pent-up passion he had accumulated over the past half month vanished instantly.

"Is that so?!" His Highness the Crown Prince asked in a hoarse, low voice, his voice filled with cold disbelief as he looked at the guard who had come to report from outside the bed.

"Your Highness! I will go and refuse General Yang right away!" the guard tentatively asked, then made a move to leave.

"Um?!"

"Do I really dislike guests that much?!" Qing Tingyu's emotions were unclear, and she spoke in a tea-like tone.

"Damn!! It hurts, waah~!"

Qianqian felt an intense burning sensation on her body. Tears streamed down her face as she weakly sat up, clinging to someone she couldn't clearly see in her dazed state, refusing to let go!

"How greedy! More than half a month has passed, why is General Luo still not satisfied?!"

"So greedy~ I'm not afraid, hahaha...!" Qing Tingyu opened his arms and hugged the person to his chest.

These straightforward and colloquial words spoken in the tent, like unspoken messages, made the guards kneeling outside the bed, who were reporting the situation, blush with embarrassment!
