He was the Son of Heaven. How could his own daughter dislike him?
Every child was delighted to see him and wanted him to visit more often.
At the word "death," Shen Qingqing held Tang Tang tighter in her arms, tears spilling down under his gaze. She had nothing left-only this one daughter.
"Beautiful Mommy, why are you crying?"
Tang Tang wiped her mother's tears with both little hands, but no matter how she tried, she could not wipe them all away. Seeing such a great beauty weep truly broke her heart.
That scumbag dad! It must be that scumbag dad! What did he do to upset Mommy? Beautiful Mommy is crying so hard.
Ye Yubei: Him? He had not said a thing.
"Stop crying. You're that... Why do I not remember you?" Ye Yubei asked, his face cold.
Shen Qingqing raised her head, her gaze calm. "This consort is Shen. Your Majesty banished me to the Cold Palace twelve years ago. It is only natural that you do not remember me."
"Twelve years..."
Ye Yubei had already forgotten this woman, so naturally, he could not remember when he had banished her to the Cold Palace. Twelve years... that really was a long time. Whatever offense she had committed, she should probably be allowed out by now.
Oh my heavens! Twelve years! This scumbag dad made my mommy suffer for twelve years! Is there no justice under heaven? No law left in this world? Heaven, send down a thunderbolt and strike this scumbag dad dead...
The moment Shen Qingqing finished speaking, the previously clear sky filled with dark clouds. Fierce winds suddenly rose, and faint streaks of purple lightning flashed overhead.
Ye Yubei: "...!!"
What sort of monster was this daughter of his?!
Ye Tangtang lifted her head and looked up happily. Had Heaven heard her call, too?
Come on, come on! Let the lightning and the storm rage even harder!
Ye Yubei felt a lingering chill of fear. This little girl did not seem to be an ordinary person. She could actually summon the power of lightning. And were the things she said true?
"Since Shen has spent twenty years in the Cold Palace and recognized her mistakes, restore her title of Talented Lady and let her return to her former residence."
Talented Lady was merely the lowest rank in the imperial harem, only a little higher than a palace maid.
Ye Muxue frowned unhappily. "Father, why did you let her out? Ye Tangtang is a lunatic. What if she bullies me later?"
"Don't worry. With your father here, no one can bully you, Xue'er."
My scumbag dad seems to have found a little bit of a conscience, but not much. Boohoo, my beautiful mommy is so pitiful. From now on, I'll protect her. Slurp, slurp... Mommy's figure is so nice. So soft, so soft.
Ye Yubei pricked up his ears, hoping to hear something useful, only to find that she was doing nothing but mocking him. Forget it. He would not hold a grudge against a twelve-year-old girl.
A nice figure? So soft?
Ye Yubei discreetly lowered his dark eyes. What greeted him was a delicate, breathtaking face with a hint of allure. Whether she moved or stood still, she was a picture to behold.
Although it was winter, her clothes were very thin, faintly revealing the exaggerated curves of her chest.
Ye Yubei's throat tightened at the sight. How had he not known there was such a beauty in his palace?
In terms of looks, there was probably not a single woman in the palace who could compare with this Shen.
But how had such a peerless beauty given birth to an ugly daughter?
Shen Qingqing said softly, "This consort bows in thanks to Your Majesty."
Ye Yubei came back to his senses. "Rise. Once you return, give the Ninth Princess a proper wash. She's as filthy as a beggar. How does she look anything like my daughter?"
What the heck! This scumbag dad actually has the nerve to find me disgusting! Isn't he the one who made me end up like this? I never had enough food or warm clothes in the Cold Palace, and my hands froze into this ghastly state. I really am a poor little thing with no daddy to love me.
Daddy is the best in the world. A child without a daddy is like a blade of grass...
Ye Tangtang slowly began to sing.
Hearing his daughter's inner voice, Ye Yubei lowered his head and saw the little girl's shoulders trembling, as though she were crying.
He was about to check on her, but after taking two steps closer, he saw Ye Tangtang squatting beside her mother, poking something with a little stick... It seemed to be an anthill...
Ye Yubei: "..."
Suddenly, a streak of purple lightning flashed past with a tremendous crash, landing right at Ye Yubei's feet and blasting a huge, deep crater into the ground.
Ye Yubei's face went pale, and he froze on the spot. A fraction closer, and it would have struck him.
Thunderclap, this heaven-reaching power... Purple lightning! This Mystic True Flame...
Hahahaha! Little Useless System, look at how terrified my scumbag dad is! Hahahaha! He must've pissed himself, hahahaha! I'm dying, hahahaha!
Inside, Ye Tangtang was rolling around with laughter, but outwardly, she still pretended to be calm. She held her laughter in so hard that she nearly gave herself internal injuries.
Shen Qingqing: "..."
Had her daughter taken some kind of drug?
But... it really was rather funny. This was the first time she had seen Ye Yubei so terrified. Shen Qingqing lowered her head and chuckled softly twice, not daring to make it too obvious.
Ye Yubei heard Ye Tangtang's thoughts, but he had no time to argue with her. The most important thing now was to get out of here. Supported by several eunuchs, he hurried into the grand hall.
His legs were so weak with fright that he could barely walk. This daughter was not to be provoked.
Little Useless System, how can I still summon lightning? Wasn't my spiritual power sealed?
Only ninety-nine percent of your spiritual power was sealed. You still have one percent left. Maybe your background really is too tragic, so this is compensation to help you stay alive.
Ye Tangtang instantly perked up. That meant she still had spiritual power she could use here!
Little Useless System, what about my points? I remember reaching thirty thousand points in the last world.
Sorry, Tang Tang... Points can't be used across worlds, so they were reset to zero. You'll have to keep working hard to earn more points, Tang Tang. You can exchange them for spicy strips, cola, lollipops, potato chips, and, of course, your favorite ice cream~
Ye Tangtang slurped, practically drooling with craving. Spicy strips, cola, potato chips, lollipops!
But!
Why were my points reset to zero? I worked so hard to earn those points in the last world! They disappeared before I could even exchange them for my potato chips, spicy strips, cola, and lollipops! Oh, Heaven! Oh, Earth! I don't want to live anymore!
Ye Tangtang was so furious that she lay on the ground and rolled around!
Shen Qingqing looked bewildered. Those fries, spicy strips, and whatever else her daughter had mentioned-what were they? Tang Tang seemed to love eating them. If she could make them for her, Tang Tang would surely be very happy.
Then she saw her daughter throwing a tantrum and rolling around on the ground.
I don't care! Little Useless System, give me back my points! Hurry up and give them back! Little Useless System, I want spicy strips, potato chips, cola, and lollipops!
Everyone around her stared in shock.
Had this little princess gone mad? She was probably a lunatic. Forget it. Let her be crazy. She could not stir up any wind or waves anyway.
The system: *[...]*
Could it still switch hosts now? This thing was simply too embarrassing.
All right, it was scared. It was scared.
Fine, Tang Tang. I'll reward you with one hundred points for ten draws. You can draw lollipops. Will that do?
This host was easy to placate anyway. A single lollipop would do the trick.
Ye Tangtang: Okay.
A hundred points were still points. It was not much, but she could draw lollipops~
Ye Tangtang pressed the button on the big prize wheel. Each draw cost ten points, so she could do ten draws at once!
This time, she drew three lollipops, one packet of spicy strips, and six "Thank you for playing" results...
