"Is this all you're after?" This time, even Cold-Blooded Fifth couldn't help but speak up. She simply couldn't stand it anymore. How could someone have such a pursuit?
However, Ye Lang felt that Cold-Blooded Fifth thought his pursuit was not enough and that he needed to add something more.
So he thought for a moment and said, "Then let's add a few more points. It would be best if we could act like tyrants. If we could harass respectable women in broad daylight, that would be even better..."
"Bang!" Cold-Blooded Fifth smacked Ye Lang hard, which could be considered a conditioned reflex.
"Why did you hit me?!" Ye Lang rubbed his head, looking like he was in a lot of pain. This made Little Zero Ye Lang, who was standing to the side, feel very sorry for him and started blowing on his head.
"Whoosh..."
"Ah..." Ye Lang was blown over and fell to the ground.
Why are you praising me?!
"Oh, I'm sorry..." Little Zero immediately apologized.
"You'd better shut up! You're so young and you're already doing bad things, trying to harass respectable women. You deserve a beating!" Cold-Blooded Fifth smacked Ye Lang again, but she seemed to have forgotten that she wasn't much older than Ye Lang, and perhaps she was even a little younger.
"How can flirting with respectable women be considered bad behavior? I often flirt with Fatty women, and they don't get angry. They just laugh and say I'm too funny," Ye Lang said, scratching his head.
"How did you tease me?" Cold-Blooded Fifth curiously. It was strange that someone actually liked being teased.
"I was just telling them jokes, and they laughed, so I teased them," Ye Lang said.
"... Is this what you call flirting?" Cold-Blooded Fifth was speechless; this was clearly teasing.
"Isn't that right? A girl once told me that when I visited a brothel," Ye Lang replied.
"What?! Brothels? You go to brothels?" Cold-Blooded Fifth's face darkened.
"Yes, I went there when I was five years old!" Ye Lang began to recount his glorious history.
"Five years old..."
After some questioning, Cold-Blooded Fifth and Little Zero finally understood that this little idiot was indeed an idiot!
A few days later, Ye Lang and Cold-Blooded Fifth still showed no signs of recovery. The two continued to live as usual, except that now everyone knew about their condition, so they no longer needed to hide from everyone, at least not within the Cold-Blooded Group.
As for going outside, we still need to be careful not to be seen, but now that we have Little Zero as a cover and she helps keep an eye on Ye Lang, things are much easier.
During these past few days, Cold-Blooded Seventh frequently came to visit Ye Lang. Of course, her visits were not for good purposes; she was there to mess with Ye Lang, but she always failed.
This struck her as odd. Not only her, but also Cold-Blooded Fifth and Little Zero found it strange. Sometimes, they couldn't even take care of them before Cold-Blooded Seventh.
Logically speaking, at that time, Ye Lang was unprotected and he was too slow to notice, which meant that Cold-Blooded Seventh could do whatever he wanted.
But strangely enough, Cold-Blooded Seventh could never get back at Ye Lang, and often ended up getting back at himself!
For example, once she set a trap on the ground. Ye Lang walked over it, but the trap didn't work. She tried it herself and fell into the trap.
That wasn't what angered her the most. Afterwards, when Ye Lang found out about her, he would always say some sarcastic things...
"Cold-Blooded Seventh, what are you doing? Why are you tied up?"
"Cold-Blooded Seventh, what are you doing burrowing underground? Is there treasure down there...?"
"Cold-Blooded Seventh..."
These strange phenomena make people think that Ye Lang is deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid in order to mess with him, but he will mess with him instead!
However, what they didn't know was that Ye Lang had been protected by Goddess of Luck since he was a child. He would miraculously overcome difficulties, and those who wanted to mess with him would often end up in bad luck!
These past few days, Little Zero had been hoping that Ye Lang would use alchemy or conduct research on it, but she was disappointed. All Ye Lang did was play around.
This wasn't because Ye Lang was wary of Little Zero, but because his alchemy experiments had already ended, and he hadn't encountered any alchemical techniques that interested him, so naturally he wouldn't take any action.
What disappointed Little Zero even more was what happened next—
"What? You want to send this little idiot on a mission?" Cold-Blooded Fifth and Little Zero, along with Ye Lang, attended a routine meeting of the Cold-Blooded Thirteenth Hawk.
Previously, the two of them had been wondering why they had brought Ye Lang to such a routine meeting.
It shouldn't be because of Cold-Blooded Fifth. Even if she's with Ye Lang all day, it doesn't mean they can't be separated. Ye Lang can let her play somewhere else and just find someone to keep an eye on her.
Both Cold-Blooded Fifth and Little Zero had considered this point, so they could have somewhat anticipated this outcome, but it still surprised them a bit.
"Yes, since he's in our Cold-Blooded Group, he should be required to carry out missions!" Cold-Blooded Second said.
"But how can he carry out a mission in his current state?" Cold-Blooded Fifth said coldly. This was probably the most she had ever spoken at the meeting, but it wasn't for her own sake.
Perhaps, if it were her, she wouldn't even need to say a word; she would simply go and carry out the mission!
"He's actually easier to deal with now. Don't forget, he used to leave Cold-Blooded Seventh completely helpless!" Cold-Blooded Second said slowly, seemingly unconcerned.
"Then I'll go!" Cold-Blooded Fifth said. "Me too, just as young as him!!"
"If you want to go this time, that's fine, I can help out. But Cold-Blooded First 1001 has to go," Cold-Blooded Second said.
"Why?" Cold-Blooded Fifth blurted out, but she seemed to immediately guess something; it must be that...
"Because this mission requires a puppet, and only he can control it!" Cold-Blooded Second said.
As expected, the only thing that needs Ye Lang now is this puppet; otherwise, the Cold-Blooded Group would never have thought of using this little guy to carry out any mission.
"What kind of mission is it?" Cold-Blooded Fifth was very straightforward, not dwelling on whether Ye Lang would take the mission or not. She just wanted to know how dangerous the mission was and whether it would pose a danger to Ye Lang.
"Assassinate Princess Longji!" Cold-Blooded Second Er frowned and said.
In the past, Cold-Blooded Fifth wouldn't have asked why; he would have just packed his things and gone to assassinate Princess Longji!
Now, she needs to ask clearly, "Why kill Princess Longji? She is a princess of our empire, not an enemy of the empire!"
"That's right, Princess Longji, although she is a bit strong-willed and not very harmonious with the Royal Faction, our Cold-Blooded Group has never interfered in the royal family's struggles. Why would we assassinate Princess Longji this time?" Cold-Blooded Seventh was also puzzled. She would ask this question in the past, not to help Ye Lang.
Right now, she couldn't wait for Ye Lang to die, and she hoped that Princess Longji would discover this little ant and crush him!
