[Little Useless System, where's the gossip? Where's today's juicy gossip? I haven't had any yet.]
System: [Tang Tang, the organization has been cracking down hard lately. Lots of juicy scandals... got swept up in the cleanup. I can't release them anymore.]
[You even... clean up the internet? How boring. Can you do your job or not? Now even my scumbag dad has no cuckold's hat to wear today.]
Ye Tangtang shrugged. Fine, no gossip to feast on today. There went her fountain of joy.
Ye Yubei: "..."
Shen Qingqing: "..."
Shen Qingqing raised her head and cautiously studied Ye Yubei's expression. He didn't seem angry.
Of course Ye Yubei wasn't angry. He had long since gotten used to it.
If his daughter went a day without mocking him, he would actually find it strange.
Still, he finally had no cuckold's hat to wear today. That offered him some comfort.
It seemed the people in his harem had finally settled down.
He didn't have to wear a cuckold's hat anymore.
Shen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as His Majesty wasn't angry.
Still, Ye Yubei really had been saddled with quite a few green hats... She wanted to feast on the gossip too, but unfortunately, there was none today.
Ye Yubei still had no idea that this mother and daughter had been taking turns laughing at him.
"Tang Tang, where did you get those... unusual pajamas?"
Ye Tangtang blinked. "Daddy Emperor, didn't I tell you? An old grandpa in my dreams gives me these things while I'm asleep."
"I don't know why either, but whatever I want, that old grandpa leaves it beside my bed."
Ye Tangtang opened her big, innocent eyes wide and spouted nonsense with a perfectly straight face.
[Hahahaha, my scumbag dad actually believed it! He's so easy to fool. Since he's this dumb, I won't laugh at him anymore.]
Ye Yubei: "..."
He was dumb?
He was the wisest monarch in the entire history of the Northern Li Kingdom!
Shen Qingqing's scalp prickled, yet Ye Tangtang still had no fear of death.
She proceeded to mock Ye Yubei all over again in her head.
Shen Qingqing felt helpless. Luckily, His Majesty wasn't holding it against Tang Tang. She was his own daughter, after all. Even with the way she was now, he couldn't deny she had sprung from his seed.
"Mommy dearest, are you all right now? You scared me to death just now."
Shen Qingqing looked at her little dinosaur daughter, still unable to get used to the sight, and stroked her little cheek.
"Tang Tang, do you... do you have to wear those pajamas?"
Looking at them still gave her the creeps.
"Mommy, these pajamas are really warm. Feel them-they're thick. I won't be cold at all tonight."
Shen Qingqing gave them two perfunctory strokes and immediately pulled her hand back.
"Mm, it's very late already. Hurry along to bed, Tang Tang. Mommy is fine now."
"Okay. Goodbye, Daddy Emperor and Mommy dearest."
Ye Tangtang rubbed her eyes. She really was getting sleepy. She walked out of the room with her little tail swaying, and the young eunuchs scattered as far away as they could in fright.
Eunuch Wang was still sprawled on the floor like a corpse. He had only just opened his eyes when he saw Ye Tangtang in her little dinosaur pajamas again. His vision went black, and he fainted from fright once more...
Ye Tangtang: "..."
[These people scare way too easily. Am I that terrifying? I'm clearly a cute, kind little fairy!!]
Ye Yubei: "..."
His daughter truly had not the slightest thing in common with a fairy.
Ye Tangtang returned to her room and got ready for bed.
Her greatest dream was to eat, drink, have fun, and lie flat.
Just then, a noise came from the window. She immediately picked up the candlestick on the table. Whoever dared come in would get a hammer blow that left them unrecognizable even to their own parents!
The window opened, revealing half a head. Ye Tangtang swung straight at it, only for a large hand to catch her wrist.
"It's me."
Ye Tangtang jumped. It was Jun Yuyuan.
[Wait, why is the male lead climbing through my window in the middle of the night?! He must have wicked designs on a little fairy like me!]
Jun Yuyuan: "..."
He had merely heard the commotion outside and come to see whether this little girl was dead.
With that entirely unremarkable little frame, she certainly had a wild imagination.
But when Jun Yuyuan got a clear look at the person before him, his expression froze, and he nearly stepped back...
Green all over, horns on her head, a tail behind her-what was this thing?
"Jun Yuyuan, why are you here?"
Jun Yuyuan said coolly, "What happened here? Why was there such a commotion? And what are you wearing?"
[Wow! As expected of the male lead, he wasn't even scared by my little dinosaur outfit. Everyone else was scared to tears, hahahaha.]
[Eunuch Wang is still lying there like a corpse from the fright. I'm dying of laughter. A grown man, that timid-wait, no, Eunuch Wang isn't a man anymore.]
Ye Tangtang said quietly, "These are my latest pajamas. Very warm little dinosaur pajamas."
"Little dinosaur pajamas?"
Jun Yuyuan's expression shifted slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched...
"Right, right. They look a little unusual, but they're very warm."
"They certainly are... unusual."
Jun Yuyuan came up with a casual excuse. "Since you're fine, I'll leave. The painting you did last time wasn't good enough. I came this time to have you paint it again."
"What?! Paint it again? I don't offer after-sales service. If you want me to redo it, you'll have to pay me half the price."
The moment Ye Tangtang finished speaking, two hefty gold ingots appeared in her hands.
[Whoa, whoa! Big gold ingots! They're practically blinding my poor eyes, aaaah! The male lead is way too rich.]
[Since he's rich, I'll squeeze a little more out of him next time. I still charged him too little.]
[Jun Yuyuan is a huge sucker anyway. Why waste a chance to fleece him?]
Jun Yuyuan: "..."
So she thought he was a sucker?
"Will this do now? Redo it for me tomorrow."
"Boss, of course, of course. Whatever you say."
Ye Tangtang tucked the gold into her pocket and happily went to bed.
System: [Tang Tang, the male lead is right in front of you. Aren't you going to milk him for some points?]
[Right! How did I forget something so important? I still want little cakes-my favorite little chocolate cakes.]
Ye Tangtang suddenly scrambled up as though she had been injected with a shot of adrenaline.
"Jun Yuyuan, don't leave yet. Aren't we good friends?"
"Mm, since we are, let's shake hands. Good friends should shake hands, and it's an honor to have such a wonderful friend as you."
Ye Tangtang rambled utter nonsense with a solemn expression.
Jun Yuyuan: "..."
She made it sound so sincere, when really it was all for some chocolate cake.
Before Jun Yuyuan could refuse, Ye Tangtang had already touched his hand. The girl's hand was very soft. He lowered his eyes, suppressing the stir of emotion in them.
[Yay, yay, yay! Got the points! Five hundred points! Maybe I can draw my lovely little chocolate cakes.]
[Hahaha, I really am using the male lead for all he's worth.]
[Jun Yuyuan is the world's biggest sucker, hahahaha. Every day, he eagerly delivers points and money to me.]
"Jun Yuyuan, you can leave now. I'm going to sleep. Bye-bye."
Ye Tangtang lay on the bed and waved at the boy across from her.
A textbook case of using someone and tossing them aside, without a shred of hesitation.
