Xue Qinghe—calling her Qian Renxue would be just as accurate.

After taking the bottle of Milk Tea Xue Ke handed her, she opened the cap, and a faint jasmine fragrance wafted out.

After all, Xue Qinghe was currently Qian Renxue in disguise—a girl.

She was very fond of the scent of jasmine.

"Little Xue Ke, is this what you brought for me? It seems quite nice. Smells good."

After saying that, Xue Qinghe raised the Milk Tea to her lips and took a drink.

"Rich, smooth, and sweet. This flavor really is quite good. Little Xue Ke, do you know who made it?" After just one sip, Xue Qinghe had already sensed a business opportunity in this Milk Tea.

If he could obtain the recipe for this Milk Tea and present it to the Heaven Dou Empire, it would add another major achievement to his record as Crown Prince.

After all, aside from Fourth Prince Xue Beng, there was still another prince alive!

"It was made at Moonlight Pavilion, where I study court etiquette. Some little brat came up with it. He gave me two extra bottles, and I gave one to Crown Prince Older Brother. How about it? Xue Ke treats you well, right?" Xue Ke stood there, blinking up at Xue Qinghe, her fake older brother.

Although Qian Renxue could be ruthless, she truly treated her younger sister well.

"How about this? Tomorrow, Big Brother will accompany you to school. What do you think?" Xue Qinghe's words undoubtedly delighted Xue Ke.

Though Xue Qinghe had his own purpose for this trip, he did often accompany Xue Ke to school.

"Okay! Then, Big Brother, I'll head back to the palace and rest first. Also, help me hold down that little brat tomorrow. I want to pinch his cheeks." After saying that, Xue Ke ran off.

"Heh." Xue Qinghe felt rather helpless.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, many young nobles were already heading to Moonlight Pavilion, because there were not only classes today.

The Milk Tea they had drunk after school yesterday had left them craving more!

When school ended yesterday, Xiao Feng had promised them that every student attending classes at Moonlight Pavilion that morning would receive Milk TeaMilk Tea in different flavors, too.

Steward Ode and several maids were already receiving guests at the entrance to Moonlight Pavilion, while Tang Yuehua had risen early as well.

Only Xiao Feng was still hugging Yun Yun's delicate body, sleeping particularly soundly.

Yun Yun was rather speechless.

Yet when she saw Xiao Feng's current posture, she became even more speechless.

One little hand rested on her chest, while his little head leaned against her shoulder. Fortunately, he was not drooling. Otherwise, Yun Yun would definitely have kicked him flying.

"Young Master, Crown Prince has arrived and specifically asked to see you." A maid knocked on the door outside and spoke softly.

"Wake up, Little Rogue." Hearing the knock at the door, Yun Yun knew it was already late. It was time to get this Little Rascal out of bed, so she tugged his ear.

"Wife Yun Yun, let me sleep a little longer." Xiao Feng replied groggily.

Smack! A large hand landed on the little boy's backside.

"Ah! Wife Yun Yun, why did you hit me?" Xiao Feng felt terribly wronged. Every day, he held a beautiful wife in his arms, yet he could not do anything.

"Enough, get up quickly! Crown Prince has come to see you." Yun Yun smiled as she looked at her Child Husband, then could not help planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Alright, go on now! It seems you guessed correctly—Crown Prince came to discuss cooperation." Even Yun Yun had not expected this little fellow to be so clever.

"Hehe, of course. Otherwise, how could I be your husband?" After Yun Yun helped the little brat get dressed, she sent him out.

Yun Yun had stayed at Moonlight Pavilion for many years. Apart from the older maids, some people did not even know she existed.

Every day, she simply cultivated, cultivated. In any case, Moonlight Pavilion had not encountered any dangerous figures so far.

However, Yun Yun sensed two very powerful auras appearing at Moonlight Pavilion today. Worried about the little fellow's safety, she followed him downstairs.

In the past, it had always been Tang Yuehua who held the little brat's hand as they went downstairs.

Now, it was someone else. Some of the maids had seen her, while the newer ones had not.

But Steward Ode had met Yun Yun before—more than once. Her appearance now clearly meant that powerful figures had arrived at Moonlight Pavilion.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Yun Yun." Steward Ode still bowed to Yun Yun as a junior would.

"No need. I'll accompany Little Rogue to meet this so-called Crown Prince." Yun Yun's words left Steward Ode caught between laughter and tears.

Moonlight Pavilion now had two goddesses. Tang Yuehua called Xiao Feng Little Rascal.

Yun Yun called him Little Rogue.

"Crown Prince, may I ask what you want with me? I wasn't even awake yet before you disturbed me. Remember to pay compensation later. Haha." Xiao Feng said to Xue Qinghe.

"Haha, Young Master really is adorable! Forget Xue Ke—I want to pinch your cheeks too!" Seeing Xiao Feng's chubby, tender little face, Xue Qinghe wanted to reach out as well.

"No, no, Crown Prince. I'm a man with a wife. Let's not fool around—shall we discuss business?" Xiao Feng now looked entirely like a little adult.

If not for the two Titled Douluo opposite him confirming that he was not a transformed soul beast, they would have wanted to pry open his head and see what was inside.

"Young Master, do you know what I came to discuss with you this time?" Crown Prince Xue Qinghe sat on a chair, lifted the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then glanced at Yun Yun beside him.

What a beautiful woman. Serene, elegant, untouched by worldly disturbances. In particular, the phoenix coiffure formed from her long black hair gave off an air of nobility.

She would make a fine Crown Princess if I married her, wouldn't she?

Wait—what the hell am I thinking? I'm Qian Renxue, not the real Xue Qinghe!

As Xue Qinghe thought about it, even her face turned red.

Xiao Feng was also sizing up Xue Qinghe. Even the Adam's apple had been imitated—Qian Renxue's disguise really was flawless. But to Xiao Feng, who knew Qian Renxue's fate—

Her future was tragic. It could be said that she had failed all the expectations the Angel Clan had placed on her.

As for Tang San, who was two days younger than him, Xiao Feng truly had no favorable impression of him.

Especially since he belonged to the Clear Sky Sect.

"Crown Prince, what are you thinking about? This Young Master is seriously warning you—don't you dare set your sights on my Wife Yun Yun. Otherwise, don't blame This Young Master for being rude."

The old-fashioned remark instantly snapped Xue Qinghe back to her senses.

She coughed twice to conceal her embarrassment.

The two Titled Douluo behind Xue Qinghe were under immense pressure right now. The pressure was even greater than when they had met Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu in Spirit City's Douluo Hall.

Yet that pressure came from the woman opposite their Young Master. How was that possible? Yun Yun looked only a little over twenty, truly possessing Peerless Elegance.

"Well, Young Master, this Crown Prince has no intention of marrying your wife, so don't overthink it. Besides, I came this time on behalf of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to discuss a major business deal with you. I wonder whether Young Master is interested."

Xue Qinghe was genuinely embarrassed. The little fellow before her had exposed her thoughts, though that was impossible.

"Mm, you represent the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? Not Crown Prince personally?" Xiao Feng felt that representing the imperial family and representing Crown Prince were two different matters—and they truly were.

"Would Young Master be willing to discuss this with me alone?" Xue Qinghe looked in surprise at the child before her, who sat on a chair with his feet not even reaching the floor.

"Actually, whether you represent the imperial family or yourself, my terms remain the same. This Young Master will provide you with every recipe for making Milk Tea, along with combinations for all kinds of flavors. I assume the one Crown Prince drank upon entering today was different, right?

The Milk Tea prepared for you this morning was rose-flavored and contained pearls, so I call it Rose Pearl Milk Tea. What do you think?

It also has beautifying and nourishing effects." Once Xiao Feng mentioned the effects of Rose Pearl Milk Tea, he did not believe Crown Prince—or rather, Qian Renxue—would remain unmoved.

"Then tell me what Young Master wants. As long as I can manage it, I will certainly satisfy you." Rather than Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue was excited! She was truly excited right now. What girl would not want to become even more beautiful?

"Two conditions. First, I want an item from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. It may be difficult for Crown Prince—the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

"Second, I only want a small share of all Milk Tea sales. Yes, you heard correctly. I only want one share. The other nine shares are all yours.

"Also, I can tell you that the cost of the Rose Pearl Milk Tea you drank today is less than one Silver Soul Coin. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe could hardly believe her ears. Something costing less than two Silver Soul Coins could produce results even better than something worth one Gold Soul Coin. It was simply incredible.

"This matter will require this Crown Prince to return and discuss it with Father Emperor. What does Young Master think?" Xue Qinghe rose to leave, intending to finalize the agreement today to avoid unforeseen complications.

"That is perfectly fine, Crown Prince." Xiao Feng slid down from the chair to the floor, then made a gentlemanly gesture for Xue Qinghe to proceed.

"Then this Crown Prince will return to the palace first, Young Master. I hope we can reach an agreement." Xue Qinghe was the first to leave the reception room, then departed Moonlight Pavilion.

"Little Rogue, is the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud really such a valuable thing? Is it worth going to so much trouble for?" Yun Yun had many doubts in her heart, so she asked him.

"Wife Yun Yun, do I look like an idiot?" Xiao Feng asked very seriously.

"Not like an idiot. More like a rogue." Yun Yun blurted it out without even thinking, then covered her mouth and giggled.

"That thing is very useful to me. It's not the time to tell you yet. Hehe!" Xiao Feng did not get angry at Yun Yun for teasing him as a Little Rogue.

"Mm, as long as it is useful to you, that is good. Otherwise, if you traded so much for it and it turned out to be useless, you would suffer a huge loss." Yun Yun said, covering her little mouth.

"Don't worry, Wife Yun Yun. I won't suffer a loss." Xiao Feng said to Yun Yun beside him.
