What the Hell Does Your Breaking Off the Engagement with Tang Wulin Have to Do with Me? Unless You Give Me Your First Kiss
"Your Highness, there's no need to involve me in your business with Tang Wulin, is there?"
As a fan of the original Douluo Continent novel,
Luo Feng gradually figured out what was going on.
This wasn't a stroke of romantic luck.
It was just that he'd shown up at exactly the right time.
As the proud little princess of the Star Luo Empire,
after a whole night of torment from Bedside Douluo,
she'd been scared off by Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King physique.
But girls were shy.
A breakup needed a reason, right?
For example, the princess had fallen for someone else.
She'd fallen for a genius mecha pilot.
What a perfect excuse!
"Hmph!"
"If you don't come with me to see Father, I'll—I'll bite you to death!"
Perhaps she knew she was being unreasonable.
Dai Yun'er looked a little flustered.
Right there inside the Vanguard Titan, she put on a shameless, petulant act!
Those pouty little lips.
Those big, watery eyes.
She really did look so pitiful, it made you want to protect her.
But Luo Feng was a grown man.
He couldn't just let her use him as a prop without getting anything in return!
"Then, Your Highness, if I go along with this, what do I get out of it?"
"You!"
At his question, Dai Yun'er was the one who got embarrassed!
That just went to show what a sweet girl she was.
She had a sense of shame, and a girlish heart, too.
If only she were one of those little fairies from the era Luo Feng had come from.
They wouldn't bother with any of that.
Back in Luo Feng's hometown, robbers used to wear stockings over their heads.
Nowadays, they wore wedding dresses.
The moment you got that little certificate, your salary, your house, and your car all belonged to the other person.
If you were unlucky, you'd even have to hand over your parents' retirement savings.
As those little fairies from Dongda put it:
"Your whole family owes me this!"
But look at this little princess of the Star Luo Empire.
She was clearly high and mighty, and could have crushed him with all kinds of power.
Yet Dai Yun'er now looked like a little girl who'd done something wrong.
She was just short of grabbing someone's hand and throwing a tantrum.
"Th-then what do you want me to do?"
"It's simple. Prove to me, Your Highness, that you really want to marry me!"
Honestly,
when it came to wooing girls,
Luo Feng only knew the theory.
Neither before nor after transmigrating
had he ever even held a young woman's hand.
In his previous life, the only woman who'd ever flirted with him was a divorced older woman with two kids.
She'd said she'd help pay off the 880,000 yuan loan,
and give him a two-bedroom apartment and a car, too.
Then she'd be willing to date him, more or less.
"Th-then how should I prove it?"
"Uh, how about you kiss me? Or let me kiss you?"
After thinking for ages, Luo Feng finally remembered a scene from a terrible idol drama he'd seen.
What was it called? It Started with a Kiss, maybe!
The theme song was pretty catchy.
Anyway, in the minds of young boys and girls,
a kiss, especially a first kiss,
could be equated with true love.
Of course, old doves were the exception!
"Ah, I—I..."
Sure enough, when she heard his unreasonable demand,
the little princess hesitated.
In just a moment, Dai Yun'er's little face had turned bright red.
Luo Feng didn't understand love.
Did she really think the princess would?
She hadn't even succeeded when she'd drugged Tang Wulin!
And now that she'd heard a demand like this, the princess looked just as flustered.
But perhaps they were of one mind.
In the cramped space inside the Vanguard Titan, they couldn't help themselves.
Though they were both at a loss,
their bodies turned toward each other of their own accord.
Soon, their eyes met.
The man's scent and the woman's fragrance
mingled in the cramped cockpit.
"Phew!"
"Here goes!"
At this point,
if the man didn't make a move, was he really going to wait for the woman to do it?
Almost instinctively,
Luo Feng reached out with both hands
and rested them on the beautiful little princess's shoulders.
"Ah? Luo Feng, what are you—"
Before she could finish,
Dai Yun'er saw the man in front of her lean forward impulsively.
With his utterly unpracticed kissing technique,
he forcibly sealed her blazing red lips.
Oh, no, wait!
They should be called cherry lips.
"Mmm..."
The intense sensation
made Dai Yun'er's face turn even redder.
Her reflex was to push him away.
But for some reason,
her little fists inexplicably grabbed his collar instead.
The tenderness she hadn't received from Tang Wulin was made up for by the man before her.
Pop!
At last, their lips parted.
The young man and woman were both flushed, breathing hard.
"That was, um, my first kiss, Your Highness..."
"You—I... It was mine, too!"
Dai Yun'er didn't know what had come over her.
Maybe at first she'd only been acting out of spite.
But after giving him her first kiss, a hint of earnestness entered the princess's eyes.
"So, are you willing to come with me and see Father now?"
"All right!"
"BT, take us to the palace!"
[Ironclad, congratulations on finding love. We're on our way!]
Don't think the Vanguard Titan was just a machine.
In fact, it was equipped with highly advanced artificial intelligence.
Its intelligence was about on par with the mind of a twenty-year-old adult.
And it was a very gentlemanly AI.
When the two of them kissed just now,
there were little details neither of them might have noticed.
For instance, the Titan had released a puff of white mist, as if to cool them down.
Or perhaps it was some kind of catalyst.
How could he describe it?
If you'd been to the casinos in Macau, Dongda, or Las Vegas in the United States,
you'd have experienced that strange white mist infused with pheromones.
On one hand, it kept your mind clear.
On the other, it stirred up certain urges.
So the Vanguard Titan had played a part in pushing things along between them!
Whoosh!
Before long, the mecha shot into the sky at full speed.
Under the stunned gazes of a group of guards, it flew straight toward the Xinluo Imperial Palace!
"Black-Grade Mecha ahead, identify yourself!"
Soon, the imperial guards at the Star Luo Imperial Palace issued a warning.
But the next moment, the Vanguard Titan's cockpit canopy shifted from dark green to transparent.
The two people inside were revealed.
One was Luo Feng, a member of the Imperial First Knight Order. His identity was immediately confirmed.
But that alone wasn't enough to barge into the palace.
Yet when the guards saw the girl beside Luo Feng, they all froze.
The commander straightened up and saluted the mecha.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"You!"
"I'm going to see Father. Open the passage for us!"
Dai Yun'er forced herself to stay calm.
In reality, she was trembling all over.
If the guards had looked down, they would have seen that the beautiful little princess was holding hands with the mecha pilot beside her, their fingers interlaced.
It was an unprecedented sight.
"As you command, Your Highness!"
"Um, Mr. Tang Wulin is currently meeting with His Majesty the Emperor. You..."
"Even better. There are things I want to make clear to him face-to-face!"
