"Then you do it!" Vermilion Bird Emperor waved his hand. He had long hoped that someone could replace him to negotiate with Ye Lang. He was already having a headache dealing with Ye Lang.
"You little brat, hand over the Magic Cube, and I won't give you any compensation!!" Princess Longji stretched out her hands at Ye Lang, demanding that he hand over the item.
Hey, Long Ji, is this really okay? He wouldn't even give me double compensation, and now you're not giving me anything at all? It would be strange if he gave me anything!
When everyone thought Ye Lang would definitely not give it to them and that they needed to think of another way, Ye Lang unexpectedly handed it over obediently.
"Here you go!!" Ye Lang tossed the Magic Cube to Princess Longji.
"Ah..."
Almost everyone was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
"That's good. I'll take you to splurge a little later, and you can pay for it!" Princess Longji said with a smile, handing the Magic Cube to Vermilion Bird Emperor was still wondering what was going on.
"Really? Let's go right away!" Ye Lang exclaimed, jumping up and down.
"Long Ji, does he really listen to you like that? You just gave him 300,000 like that?" the Empress Dowager asked with some curiosity.
"Hehe, of course, he's very well-behaved and always listens to me!" Princess Longji smiled, then added, "Actually, you should know about him. He's never liked making money; he only likes spending it! Just now, Father, you wanted to compensate him double, but even if Ye Lanyu came, he wouldn't listen and definitely wouldn't give it to you!"
"But if you don't compensate him and make him lose that 300,000, then he might give it to you. But he won't let anyone take advantage of him so easily. He'd rather let it rot in his ring. There are a lot of good things rotting in his ring. And if it weren't for a few of us, he wouldn't give it to you!"
"..."
What kind of person is this? How can he be so strange? He would never do something that would make him money, but he'd actually like things that would result in a loss!
"Alright, that's all for us now, let's go!" Ye Lang jumped onto the Puppet Girl's shoulder. At this point, he no longer needed to hide.
"Let's wait a bit. I think we should stay here for a while, otherwise you might get into trouble again," Princess Longji said at this moment, a statement that seemed rather puzzling.
"??" Ye Lang didn't understand, nor did the Vermilion Bird Emperor and the others. What else could it be?
"Father, do you know how to solve this Magic Cube?" Princess Longji asked with a smile.
"I don't know. Ask Lao Ba. He's read the diary and should know how to solve this Magic Cube!" Vermilion Bird Emperor shook his head and replied.
The Eighth Prince stepped forward and said, "The diary does mention something about this. It says that it can only be opened using the correct method, otherwise the contents will be automatically destroyed. The diary also contains some incantations, something about following a certain rhythm. The incantation is..."
The Eighth Prince began reciting the mnemonic, a very long mnemonic that seemed completely incomprehensible to others.
After he finished reading, he continued, "Actually, someone else has tried to open this before, but they couldn't. It seems that we will also need to spend a long time!"
Princess Longji smiled and said mysteriously, "Would you like to open it in a short time?"
"Of course I want to, do you have a way?" Vermilion Bird Emperor asked.
"Hehe, you little rascal, do you understand the incantation?" Princess Longji turned to Ye Lang and asked.
"I don't understand!" Ye Lang shook his head and answered honestly.
"I knew it! Go up and open this Magic Cube!" Princess Longji said to Ye Lang.
"Oh, I understand!" Ye Lang controlled the Puppet Girl to walk over, took the Magic Cube back from the Vermilion Bird Emperor, and then fiddled with it.
"Long Ji, what are you doing? He said he doesn't understand, why are you still letting him open it?" Vermilion Bird Emperor and the others were puzzled.
"It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, as long as you know how to open it!" Princess Longji said with a smile.
The Eighth Prince said with some disdain, "Then why did you even ask him if he understood? You already said it didn't matter anyway."
Princess Longji looked at the Magic Cube in the Puppet Girl's hand and said, "I like it. I like the way he shakes his head. I know he doesn't understand!"
"..."
If he can't understand it, can he really drive it?
Ye Lang quickly provided the answer to this question—
"Alright, take it!" Ye Lang controlled the Puppet Girl and handed the Magic Cube, which had already been opened, to the Vermilion Bird Emperor.
"Ah..."
Looking at the opened Magic Cube, Vermilion Bird Emperor and the others were once again dumbfounded. They didn't know how many times they had been stunned today, perhaps more times than they had been in the past few years.
It actually opened! What's going on here?
"Long Ji, how did Ye Lang open it?" the Empress Dowager asked. She didn't ask Ye Lang, because she knew Ye Lang probably wouldn't answer.
"Well, it's very simple. There's nothing he can't open. Don't ask why, he doesn't know himself. Sometimes things just open inexplicably!" Princess Longji said with a smile. This explanation might not seem to give everyone an answer, but it was the truth.
"..." Everyone fell silent.
In any case, the outcome of this matter is quite satisfactory, even though people don't know the reason or have doubts about the process!
"Alright, if you don't leave, I'm not going to bother with you anymore!" Ye Lang ignored Princess Longji and controlled the puppet to walk towards the door.
"If you dare to ignore me, I'll kill myself!" Princess Longji laughed and cursed, then chased after him.
The two left, leaving behind a group of silent people!
Ye Lang encountered Cold-Blooded Seventh and his group outside, who were still waiting. They didn't know how the Vermilion Bird Emperor would deal with them, but Ye Lang didn't seem to think that this needed to be dealt with. He simply told Cold-Blooded Seventh to go back with him.
But how could Cold-Blooded Seventh dare to leave?
"It's alright, you can come with us!" Princess Longji smiled, completely unconcerned that Cold-Blooded Seventh had once tried to assassinate her, because she knew that this was only Cold-Blooded First's problem.
Princess Longji, who led a powerful force, had seen too many instances of military orders being absolute. She understood that a soldier was just a soldier, and no matter what bad things he did, as long as he was fulfilling orders, he was simply doing his duty and could not be blamed.
"I..." Cold-Blooded Seventh hesitated for a moment.
"Fine, don't leave then. You're useless anyway, so I'll stop you from making a fuss." Ye Lang left Cold-Blooded Seventh behind and ignored her, while Princess Longji naturally followed him.
Cold-Blooded Seventh thought for a moment, then looked at Cold-Blooded Fifth, who was sitting on the Puppet Girl's shoulder with Ye Lang. She seemed to understand and quickly followed Ye Lang and Princess Longji!
Imagine, with Ye Lang and Princess Longji backing her up, what could possibly happen to her? If she stayed, she might even be punished, so it's better to go have fun with Ye Lang.
