20 Return with the Title of a King

"You…" Ye Qianli was so angry that she was about to flare up. However, a certain pretty crown prince, who was pinching her chin, stuck his cold and fair jade-like fingers into her mouth.

"!"

Ye Qianli's pupils constricted, and she bit down without hesitation. Unfortunately… She didn't manage to bite down because her biting muscles were roughly pinched to a halt.

Not only that, but her lips were also forced open even bigger!

Ye Qianli became even angrier in an instant. Her pair of glossy, crystal-clear eyes was burning with tiny flames. However, just as she was about to explode completely, the pretty crown prince sensibly withdrew his hand.

"Other people bite their tongues to commit suicide while you bite your tongue to extract blood. This act is so realistic." After Rong Mo pulled out his fingers, he even seemingly wiped them on Ye Qianli's body in particular disdain before taking out a handkerchief to wipe them again…

Ye Qianli: "…"

However, in her fury, she did not realize that, under Rong Mo's long eyelashes resembling butterfly wings and that pair of eyes of his hidden by shadows, there was the flickering of a dark light.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, if there's nothing else, please make way." Ye Qianli endured again and again until she finally managed to calm down after much difficulty. After all, she couldn't win against this beautiful crown prince in a fight for the time being so it was better not to humiliate herself.

Unfortunately, long after she finished speaking, the beautiful prince in front of her—who was blocking her way—didn't have the slightest intention of moving his long and noble legs away; neither did he even make the faintest movement.

Ye Qianli raised her eyebrows and then walked around this dear crown prince. Surprisingly, she wasn't obstructed! Since that was the case, she didn't say anything else and left.

This time, she walked very smoothly without being called to a stop or blocked again. It was as if the crown prince had stopped her just to confirm the situation of the bleeding in her mouth.

"Ridiculous." The more Ye Qianli thought about it, the more she felt that he was unreasonable. However, she did not forget to reflect if there was anything wrong with her reaction and if she had exposed herself.

After all, this crown prince had still been investigating her until last night! Her 'counterattack' last night might not have been able to completely remove his suspicions of her.

"How much longer am I going to be bothered by him?" Ye Qianli rubbed the center of her eyebrows. She felt that being watched by this beautiful crown prince was really not a comfortable thing.

This person's eyes were too mysterious. If she wasn't careful, she felt that he would be able to see through her. She was also someone with small and huge secrets. It was really torturous.

However, Ye Qianli—who was tormented and worried—did not know that Rong Mo had slowly put away the handkerchief that he used to wipe his hands, with lowered lids. His gaze became increasingly dark.

"Ye Qianli, you'd better pray that the results that Xiao Bai discovers don't point to you. Otherwise…" Rong Mo lifted his eyes and looked into the air. The cold air around him grew thicker and thicker.

Ye Qianli, who had already walked far away, suddenly shivered involuntarily. She only felt a chill crawl out from the bottom of her heart. It was so cold!

"What's going on? Has the temperature dropped?" Ye Qianli had a stunned expression. Why did she feel cold out of the blue? After all, she had already fused with the Nine Heavens Mystical Fire last night. Logically speaking, she should not feel cold at the very least.

However, this cold kind of feeling disappeared in an instant. Other than feeling baffled, Ye Qianli really couldn't find any other reason. Hence, she didn't dwell on this matter anymore and continued walking back to Vermilion Bird City.

Yes, she wanted to go to the royal capital's Vermilion Bird City. She wanted to participate in the Prodigy Convention. She wanted to take back everything that belonged to her… Not through that sc*mbag father or that sc*mbag mother, but by herself.

Moreover, although she had cut off all ties with her parents, she had never said that she wanted to cut off all ties with the Ye family and that grandfather of hers.

Grandpa…

Actually, in Ye Qianli's memories, she had only seen this grandfather when she was very young. However, the Heart Protecting Jade on her body was really given to her by her grandfather.

Her grandfather had indeed given her quite a number of good pills, but she could not bear to eat them herself. Instead, she gave them to this 'good' younger cousin of hers, Su Lianhua.

That Ye Qianli… She wasn't actually stupid. She actually knew that this cousin of hers also had her own 'little' thoughts, but she did not know that her cousin had held 'major' schemes to kill her.

It was just that there was no one around her to talk to. She only yearned for kinship so she had always chosen to indulge Su Lianhua's little schemes. She was not stingy with her gifts, only wishing to maintain this 'sisterly relationship'.

"What a silly girl," Ye Qianli shook her head and sighed lightly in her heart. Afterward, she smoothly entered the capital city. Even though many people were actually watching her in the dark along the way, none of them stopped her.

Until she entered the capital city and walked into this unfamiliar and bustling city where people came and went, she came face-to-face with a basin full of smelly unknown objects hurled at her.

Swoosh—

The smelly water filled with excrement unmistakably splashed onto Ye Qianli's original location. If she had not dodged, all this excrement would have landed on her right now.

"Ye Qianli, you're shameless. You committed adultery and got caught in the act."

"Ye Qianli, you huge piece of trash. You disobeyed your parents and attempted matricide. You are just a chicken that has been swept out of the residence."

"Bleugh, bleugh, bleugh…"

At the same time, there were also children's rhymes prepared by people looking to dirty her reputation; these were sung by a group of dirty little beggars. They were so professional that they didn't even forget to accompany their singing with funny faces of contempt.

Of course, it was inevitable that there was also a group of onlookers pointing at her.

"Look, this is the shameless Eldest Young Lady of the Ye family in the Northern Territory. What genius goddess? What noble lady of a dynasty? Pah! She's actually a piece of trash! Worse, she's a piece of trash—who had illicit sexual relations with the guards."

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard about it, too. I didn't expect it! Such an utterly shameless and disgusting person actually dared to covet His Royal Highness? Where's her face?"

"The most important thing is that she even refused to accept being disciplined after the incident. She even attempted matricide! How can her character be so terrible? It's so infuriating."

"…"

With a random bunch of tattletales talking one by one to expose Ye Qianli's matter, they quickly added fuel to the fire. As for Ye Qianli…

She was standing in the middle of the crowd of onlookers, not far from that basin of manure water, listening to the rumors of small children and the verbal abuse of passers-by. Her face was calm and unperturbed.

It was only when the crowd grew larger as more gathered that the guards of the city gate—who were slow to arrive—came to disperse these people before she swept her gaze over to a large batch of people who were about to leave.

Some of these people were manpower specially hired to fan the flames. Some of them were really just here to watch the fun. Another portion really 'couldn't bear to watch' her moral conduct anymore. All types of people were present…

"Hurl at her!"

It was not known who shouted first, but a few unidentified objects suddenly smashed towards Ye Qianli. However, In an instant, before anyone could clearly see what was happening, those things that were hurled towards Ye Qianli had all disappeared?!

All disappeared…

At the same time, Ye Qianli raised her voice, "Am I shameless, or am I being slandered? Am I a great piece of trash or a true genius? During the Prodigy Convention three days later, I—the granddaughter of the Northern Territory King—Ye Qianli, invite you to wait and see."
