Chapter 254: Ah Bao’s ‘Holy Water’

“Give me the roast duck, or I’ll have my Uncle Hu beat you up.” The little prince was used to being treated like royalty, where everything he wanted was delivered to him.

Now, he wanted honey-glazed roast duck.

Rong Yimeng was fuming. “Rongjing, look at what this kid is saying. He’s bossing us around for the roast duck we bought for my sister. Why should we give it to him? Why?”

Rong Yimeng was almost in tears.

Wuwu.

Someone was trying to steal their roast duck!

Prince Rongjing patted Rong Yimeng’s shoulder and gave him a look.

Rong Yimeng understood.

They stared at the Earth Kingdom’s little prince.

“I knew you two were cowards. Hurry up and give it to me… Ah, you dare hit me! I’ll make sure you’re punished.”

Prince Rongjing and Rong Yimeng exchanged glances and then gave the little prince a beating with fists and slaps.

Rong Yimeng: “Daring to snatch my sister’s roast duck and insult us, you really overstepped!”

After the beating, Prince Rongjing felt it was enough and pulled Rong Yimeng away to run.

The Earth Kingdom’s little prince sat down on the ground, crying loudly, “Uncle Hu, come save me, hurry up!”

Hu Zuo, just returning, heard the cries as soon as he entered the courtyard. He rushed over and was stunned when he saw the slap marks on the little prince’s face.

Damn!

Who dared hit our prince!

“Sister, sister.” Rong Yimeng was quickly pulled into the room by Prince Rongjing.

Ah Bao was waiting in the room. “My roast duck, hahaha. Oh, Ninth Brother, Little Fatty, why are your faces swollen?”

Prince Rongjing lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Rong Yimeng, without thinking, recounted the incident to Ah Bao.

Ah Bao, who was eating roast duck, was shocked: ???

【These two kids beat up the Earth Kingdom’s little prince? Good job!】

【I didn’t realize, but Ninth Brother actually has some brains, not stupid. This way, he won’t be bullied by others in the future.】

Prince Rongjing was pleased. Was his sister praising him for being smart?

【But why is the Earth Kingdom’s little prince here at this time? The Fire and Earth Kingdom envoys just left overnight.】

Ah Bao’s eyes were darting around. “Ninth Brother, Rong Yimeng, come here for a moment.”

She waved them over, her mouth greasy from the duck wings. After wiping her hands, she whispered a few words in their ears.

The two of them were enlightened. “Alright, we’ll do as Ah Bao says.”

Ah Bao put away the honey-glazed roast duck, patted her little belly in satisfaction, and said, “Let’s go!”

The three of them left the room and ran in different directions.

Meanwhile, Hu Zuo was trying to calm down the little prince. “Your Highness, those two are just two hooligans who don’t recognize you. Don’t be angry. From what you described, didn’t you also hit them a couple of times? We didn’t lose out here. We have a big mission this time. We can’t expose our whereabouts just because of a roast duck, right?”

Hu Zuo had no other choice but to say this.

Currently, they were operating secretly and still needed three more days to reach the capital. During this time, they couldn’t reveal their identities.

“Your Highness, the roast duck is a small matter. Revealing our identities and leaking the holy water is the real issue.”

To successfully win over Leng Qingliu, they had decided to bring the holy water with them.

The Fire Kingdom had language spirits.

The Earth Kingdom had holy water.

The little prince gradually stopped crying. “Then can you go buy a roast duck for me later? I’m hungry!”

“Of course, of course.” Hu Zuo dared not refuse. If he had been watching the little prince instead of meeting Leng Qingliu, the little prince wouldn’t have suffered such grievances. But hearing that the little prince was beaten by two poor kids, he wasn’t too worried.

Kids will be kids, fighting and playing is normal.

“By the way, Your Highness, where is our holy water?”

The little prince wiped his tears. “Didn’t you say today is the fifteenth? The holy water needs to absorb Yue. I put it in the middle of the courtyard.”

“Good, good. Your Highness is very smart. We’ll collect the holy water later, and tomorrow morning, we’ll continue on our journey.”

“By the way, hasn’t the Fire Kingdom’s prince arrived yet? I’ve been waiting here for a whole day, and no one will play with me. It’s so boring.” The little prince complained.

“He’s coming, he’s coming. Tomorrow morning, we’ll set off together.”

The little prince grinned. “Uncle Hu, is there a little princess in the Tiansheng Dynasty?”

“Yes.”

“When we get to the capital, I want to meet that little princess. I heard she’s pampered by everyone. Only a princess, no wonder the Tiansheng Dynasty is at the bottom of the rankings. Other countries pamper their princes, but the Tiansheng Emperor pampers his daughter. It’s no surprise they’re last!” The little prince sneered.

His father had so many princesses, but his father and the concubines all favored him alone because he was the only prince of the Earth Kingdom.

To him, girls were not cherished, especially princesses, who would marry off when they grew up. Being a prince was far better; that’s why he became the crown prince.

Could a princess ever become the heir?

Hu Zuo gave a thumbs up to the little prince. “Your Highness, you are absolutely right. My thoughts align perfectly with yours.”

Meanwhile, Rong Yimeng had sneaked by the window and overheard the conversation between the little prince and Hu Zuo.

That’s right.

He had been sent to find the holy water.

“Daring to look down on my sister Ah Bao? Just because you’re a prince doesn’t make you so great. My sister Ah Bao is a princess! So what if she’s a little princess? She can definitely beat you so badly you won’t even find your way home.” Rong Yimeng sneered, “I used to look down on Ah Bao just like this idiot, but later… sigh, don’t mention it. Now I’m a loyal fan of Ah Bao.”

He had no choice but to be a fan.

Otherwise, he would keep getting beaten up.

He was genuinely scared.

On the other side, Prince Rongjing was searching the entire courtyard for the holy water.

Ah Bao had said that the most valuable thing in the Earth Kingdom was the holy water. He thought he had seen the Earth Kingdom’s little prince holding a bottle earlier. Could that bottle be the holy water?

The Earth Kingdom’s little prince had rented three rooms this time.

Prince Rongjing was meticulous and careful. Finding things was something Ah Bao had entrusted to him.

At this moment, Ah Bao, having eaten roast duck and drunk plenty of water, suddenly felt the urge to pee.

Ah Bao was looking for a spot in the backyard. She accidentally bumped into something with her foot and looked down to see a pot.

It had tipped over.

Water had spilled out of it.

【Who put a chamber pot in the middle of the yard in the dead of night? What, is it trying to absorb Yue or something?】

【I must say, this pot looks quite delicate with intricate patterns. It’s just that the bottle is so dirty, it might be mistaken for some kind of treasure.】

Ah Bao couldn’t hold it any longer. Seeing that the pot had a wide mouth, she nudged it upright with her little foot.

Ah Bao relieved herself with satisfaction.

【Mother said that a lady should be civilized. Use a chamber pot, not urinate anywhere!】
