Chapter 263: HAHAHAHA

“Woof woof woof—”

The stray dog bit her.

Di Hongluan quickly withdrew her hand, but it was too late.

The dog was mad; it had worked hard to get some food, and now someone wanted to take it?

Bite you, bite you, bite you!

“Woof woof woof—”

Di Hongluan cried out and fled, but she had walked all night and was exhausted and starving.

Falling by the roadside, the stray dog bit her leg.

“Ah ah ah, dirty dog, vile dog, get away!”

Rabies!

Would this filthy dog have a disease?

“Why are you biting me? Someone stole your food—your bowl—” Di Hongluan pointed to a distance where an elderly beggar had taken the dog bowl.

The dog: ??

Di Hongluan: ??

So, she had drawn the dog away, and now someone else had taken the food?

She was furious!

The dog, ignoring Di Hongluan, chased after the old beggar.

The old beggar ran quickly, complaining, “Damn it, after a lifetime of stealing dog food, today I’m being chased by a dog…”

Di Hongluan looked at the shabby beggar and felt uneasy.

Was she also going to spend her days begging all the way back to the capital?

……

Before dawn, Feng Zhuo and Ah Bao returned to the inn, and Taoist Baiyun had also arrived.

“Old Bai, here’s your task,” Ah Bao happily told Taoist Baiyun about the mission to find the holy water.

“Don’t worry, I will do my utmost to help you,” Taoist Baiyun assured.

Ah Bao, Rong Yimeng, and Di Rongjing came out, just as the young prince from the Earth Kingdom also emerged from his room.

Hu Zhuo was also present.

Hu Zhuo didn’t know any of the three children and didn’t suspect they were princesses, princes, or heirs of the Tiansheng Dynasty.

Someone whispered in Hu Zhuo’s ear, causing his face to change dramatically.

When Di Zian arrived, he saw this scene. Leng Qingliu had stayed away to avoid suspicion.

Hu Zhuo merely glanced at Di Zian and then pulled his young prince aside.

Ah Bao smiled with her big eyes.

【Roar roar, I heard, the informant told Hu Zhuo that the Fire Kingdom little prince and Yang Lei ran back to the Fire Kingdom overnight.】

Di Zian: ??

What?

He had slept through such a big event?

“Heavens! Sister, sister, look at that jar…” Rong Yimeng pointed at the black bottle the young prince was holding like a treasure. The bottle was especially eye-catching without a lid.

【Uh… that jar looks really familiar.】

“What are you staring at? Haven’t you seen anything before?” The young prince turned his head, meeting Rong Yimeng’s gaze, lifting his chin arrogantly, huffing.

Rong Yimeng couldn’t help it. He was about to confront the prince when Di Zian stopped him. All three of them were quite a handful!

“This is our Earth Kingdom’s holy water. Haven’t you seen it before, country bumpkin?” The young prince flaunted, saying that they weren’t going to the capital anymore but were returning to Earth Kingdom.

He wasn’t afraid. Before leaving, he wanted to show off a bit in front of a few people.

“Hahaha, I just remembered.” Rong Yimeng suddenly burst into laughter. “Sister, do you remember?”

【Of course, I remember. The Earth prince’s holy water bottle must be the same as the chamber pot I used last night.】

“Pfft!” Di Zian couldn’t hold it in. What?

Holy water?

A chamber pot!

“Wow, the small one is inappropriate, and so is the big one. What’s so funny about it?” The Earth prince was displeased and held his ‘holy water bottle’ closer to Ah Bao.

Ah Bao moved back, and Di Zian picked up Ah Bao.

Ah Bao tilted her head and waved her hand. “Move away, move away, take it away, stay away from me.”

She looked disgusted.

【Holy water my foot, that’s my urine! Ah, so the Earth Kingdom’s holy water bottle is the same as a chamber pot. I used it as a chamber pot last night.】

Di Zian trembled slightly while holding Ah Bao.

【The Earth prince probably doesn’t know it has been replaced with water. He still treasures it. Doesn’t he find it smelly? At least it should have a urine odor.】

【Surely, the Earth prince didn’t spend the night hugging my chamber pot, right?】

“Heard that holy water from the Earth Kingdom is placed on the altar and worshiped by the entire royal family…” Di Zian spoke softly, trying to suppress his laughter.

Hahahaha.

Hu Zhuo thought these people were ignorant peasants. Since they were leaving Yue City and returning to Earth Kingdom, he wasn’t afraid of being discovered by the Tiansheng Dynasty. “Naturally, every morning, our holy water is offered to the royal family before going to court.”

Di Zian trembled, trying hard not to laugh.

But Hu Zhuo thought they were scared.

“I see that this young master is dressed exceptionally. If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Tiansheng Dynasty’s royal family, please convey that if they ever need holy water, they can come to our Earth Kingdom to request it. Our Earth Kingdom is righteous. Perhaps if our emperor is in a good mood, he might even bestow a drop to you.”

“Hahahahahaha—” Di Zian couldn’t hold it any longer and burst into laughter.

Di Rongjing also quietly lowered his head behind Di Zian.

Rong Yimeng pointed at the bottle in the Earth prince’s arms and said, “That is… umm…”

Di Rongjing quickly covered his mouth.

【Oh my, so they want to offer my urine as holy water and have it worshiped by the royal family every day? That’s so exaggerated, isn’t it?】

【Seeing their smug little expressions, should I kindly tell them what’s really in that ‘chamber pot’?】

Di Zian stopped laughing and kept signaling Ah Bao with his eyes, “Don’t say anything, sister.”

The Earth prince’s departure was definitely because the Fire Kingdom had left first. Without alliances or support, and given the nature of the Earth and Fire Countries, they would likely return to the capital after a while.

【Forget it, let them keep thinking it’s holy water. The Fire and Earth Countries are persistent and will definitely come back.】

【Now that Father is busy with the plague in Lingnan, he won’t be dealing with the Fire and Earth Countries. With them gone, he’ll be somewhat relieved.】

The tyrant who had just turned the corner heard Ah Bao’s thoughts.

He praised Ah Bao, admiring her for knowing how to delay. He truly wanted to make Ah Bao the heir to the Tiansheng Dynasty immediately…

Hu Zhuo and the Earth prince happily took Ah Bao’s urine away. Leng Qingliu followed behind the tyrant, and after they left, the tyrant and Leng Qingliu finally appeared.

“Prince Seven, little princess, the young prince was holding the Earth Kingdom’s holy water…” Leng Qingliu reminded everyone to be cautious of the Earth Kingdom.

Di Zian leaned close to Leng Qingliu’s ear and whispered something.

Leng Qingliu was so shocked he nearly fell to his knees. “Huh? Oh, it smells so bad. So it turns out…”
