The Young Lady Always Acted Like a Woman Around Him

The wheels rumbled.

A convoy drove out of Heaven Dou City without obstruction.

All because of the crossed-swords emblem on the carriages.

It was the symbol of King Frost Extreme.

Throughout Heaven Dou, aside from Emperor Xue Ye, this Prince of Different Surname held the highest status.

Even the princes fell short of him.

"Say, why is the Crown Prince coming along too?"

In the third carriage, Yu Feng propped up his chin and asked in confusion.

Luo Li and Crown Prince Qian Renxue, the two with the highest status and not part of the Imperial Dou Team, sat in the first carriage.

The two girls, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, sat in the second carriage.

Meanwhile, the five boys, including Yu Tianheng, sat in the third carriage.

The carriages all belonged to Luo Manor and were spacious enough that even five people sitting inside did not feel crowded.

To be honest, when Yu Feng had rushed over from home today and seen the Crown Prince standing beside Luo Li, he had been quite shocked.

It was only because of their statuses that he had not dared to ask.

Now that neither Luo Li nor Qian Renxue was before him, he finally dared to voice his doubts.

Yu Tianheng and the others had no answer to that.

They did not know why the Crown Prince had suddenly appeared here and wanted to travel with them.

"Perhaps Dean Lord invited the Crown Prince."

Osler guessed.

"After all, rumors say that Dean Lord and the Crown Prince seem to have a very good relationship."

"It wouldn't be impossible for Dean Lord to invite the Crown Prince along."

Hearing that, Yu Feng nodded in agreement.

"That must be it."

"I'd long heard that the Crown Prince and Dean Lord were close. Looks like it's true."

At that point, Yu Feng paused, and his voice lowered.

He waggled his brows, his eyes gleaming with gossip.

"Do you think..."

"Dean Lord and the Crown Prince might really be like the rumors say, that they're..."

"Shut up, Yu Feng!"

Having remained silent all this time, Yu Tianheng finally could not hold back.

Those earlier questions were one thing.

Being curious about why the Crown Prince was here was no big deal.

But speculating that Dean Lord and the Crown Prince had that strange sort of relationship rumored among the people...

Did he really think that just because Dean Lord was not in the same carriage, he could not hear them?

What level of cultivation did Dean Lord possess?

For someone like him, at a distance of less than a hundred meters, what could he not hear if he wanted to?

For all they knew, their conversation was already being heard.

After Yu Tianheng shouted at him, Yu Feng suddenly remembered that fact as well.

His face instantly turned pale.

"Probably not..."

Yu Feng's voice was dry as he looked helplessly at Yu Tianheng and the others, hoping to find some comfort from them.

But...

Faced with his gaze, Yu Tianheng and the rest unanimously kept silent.

No one wanted trouble to fall on their heads.

Luo Li truly was lenient with them. Aside from their basic training, he hardly interfered with them in daily life.

But if he ever became strict, it was genuinely terrifying!

Even without using his martial soul, that sun-hot Soul Power striking their bodies hurt like hell!

Yu Feng instantly seemed to fade into black and white.

Lowering his head, he prayed uneasily, I hope Dean Lord didn't hear that...

The truth was—

Yu Feng had worried for nothing.

Luo Li had no interest in eavesdropping on others' private conversations.

"Crown Prince, this trip will take quite some time."

"Is it really appropriate for you to keep following us?"

Luo Li looked at Qian Renxue seated across from him and asked softly.

By now, Qian Renxue's shameless persistence had left him stunned.

Even Xue Ke, his fiancée, had never insisted on staying by his side like this.

You were a Crown Prince, yet instead of handling state affairs, you followed him, a Prince of Different Surname, everywhere. Were you not worried that the good reputation you had built over so many years would be ruined?

Qian Renxue was not worried in the slightest.

She smiled faintly. "Brother Luo, rest assured. I've already made the necessary arrangements."

"Father has also agreed. Just treat it as him giving me a long holiday."

"I'm sure the people will understand as well."

Emperor Xue Ye naturally would not refuse Qian Renxue's request.

He wished everyone in Heaven Dou Royal could be close to Luo Li.

Though those rumors circulating among the people did make Emperor Xue Ye feel rather stifled.

Still, if he gritted his teeth, it did not seem like such a big deal.

He had already given away one daughter. What was one more son?

"I see..."

Luo Li responded weakly, then closed his eyes and said no more.

Qian Renxue stroked her smooth chin, unable to figure out what had gone wrong.

She had already been this proactive, so why did Luo Li still seem entirely unmoved?

A thousand meters away—

Two figures flew through the air, following the carriages.

Luo Li had long noticed them, but he simply had not exposed them.

Without question, they were the two Titled Douluo responsible for protecting Qian Renxue.

Snake Lance and Pufferfish.

"Pufferfish, why do you think Luo Li keeps turning a blind eye to our young master's affection?"

Snake Lance asked, puzzled.

Their young master was such a fine person and had been so proactive. How could anyone not respond at all?

"Idiot!"

Pufferfish slapped him across the head in irritation.

"What reaction do you expect Luo Li to have toward our young master's affection?"

"Have you forgotten our young master's current identity?"

Pufferfish was helpless.

How had he ended up with such a foolish partner?

Indeed, their young master had been so proactive that he too believed no one should be able to remain indifferent.

But that was only if the person taking the initiative was their young master—the young lady of Worship Hall, the stunningly beautiful Miss Angel!

But what was Qian Renxue's current identity?

Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou—a grown man!

If Luo Li actually reacted to the initiative their young master showed in that guise, that would be the strange thing, wouldn't it?!

"Use your brain."

"If a grown man came to your house every few days to see you and brought you all sorts of gifts—"

"And then insisted on following you around whenever you went out, how would that make you feel?" Porcupine Douluo demanded.

"Wouldn't that be great..." Snake Lance Douluo blurted out.

But upon sensing the change in Porcupine Douluo's gaze, he hurriedly corrected himself.

"That would be terrible. If it were me, I'd run as far away as possible."

Though he had changed his words in time, Porcupine Douluo's eyes still held a trace of suspicion.

The distance between them as they flew side by side also widened somewhat.

Snake Lance felt a chill down his back.

"Exactly." Suppressing his discomfort, Porcupine Douluo said, "I think Luo Li already has an excellent temper. If it were anyone else, they probably would have lost their temper long ago."

"We understand the young lady's thoughts, but whenever she's in front of Luo Li, she always subconsciously forgets that she's playing the role of a man."

"Should we remind the young lady?" Snake Lance Douluo asked.

After hesitating for a moment, Porcupine Douluo nodded slightly.

He truly could not bear to watch any longer.

To keep the young lady from achieving the opposite of what she wanted, they needed to find a chance to remind her.
