Chapter 439 One item for one life, you dare not?

The boy's expression changed instantly.

"Don't even think about it! Give me back the demon spirit, and I won't take this maid's life either. One thing for one life, you dare not?"

Ruyi is nervous.

Yan Jiu was also nervous and gripped the hilt of his longsword tightly.

Of course, the butler was also afraid.

Everyone was tense.

If the princess really returns this item to the boy, who knows if the demon will reappear and wreak havoc on the world?

These ordinary people don't understand these things, but the princess is different.

The princess should have a much bigger picture in mind!

"Your Highness... this... this needs to be reconsidered..."

Xiao Tang remained expressionless and handed him the item in her hand.

"Here you go, this is what you wanted."

She handed the vase to the boy, saying, "The demon spirit is inside. The court officials saw it that day, and your cousin saw it too. They will surely know that what you want is inside."

The boy cautiously declined to take it.

Seeing Xiao Tang so proactively and naturally handing it over, he couldn't help but suspect that there might be a trick involved.

Seeing that he was hesitant to take it, Xiao Tang became impatient. "Are you going to take it or not? If not, then forget it."

"Wait!" the boy suddenly shouted alertly.

He took the vase from her.

At the same time, he suddenly pushed Ruyi towards Xiao Tang.

He grabbed the vase and ran off as fast as he could.

Having achieved his goal, he no longer needed to linger.

I was ecstatic.

The steward was nervous and frightened. "Your Highness, if we really give this to him, won't it bring disaster to the world?"

He started trembling as he spoke.

He wondered if he should pack his bags and find a secluded place to hide.

Seeing the butler trembling like a leaf, Xiao Tang said helplessly, "Since I gave it to him, of course I have my own reasons. You don't need to worry about it."

Hearing this, the butler's tense heart relaxed.

"Since Your Highness has said so, this old servant is relieved. As long as nothing goes wrong, that's all that matters."

"Hehe, just you wait." Xiao Tang's red lips curled into a cold smile.

It's impossible for something to go wrong.

She was just waiting for this guy to be forced into bad luck.

He's just a kid.

You have to fall down to understand the hardships of life.

Emperor Jingling did not return to his residence until dinner time.

Before entering the mansion, he had already heard the guards report on what had happened that day. He strode to find Xiao Tang and saw her eating her meal as if nothing had happened. Only then did his solemn expression relax.

He asked her in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Xiao Tang had just picked up a piece of braised pork.

She looked at him and said, "I'm fine, my husband. Please sit down and eat."

That nonchalant tone.

This put Di Jingling's mind at ease.

He gently patted her head. "It's good that you're alright. That person has already been arrested and imprisoned."

"So fast?"

"He hid too well before; now that he's found you, he's just walking into a trap."

Xiao Tang nodded in surprise, "It seems that this kid is really unlucky."

Di Jingling's face darkened.

What kind of bad luck is this?

Most importantly, that kid was just a child whose potential was wasted by the Demon Cave.

"Who is more unlucky, me or him?"

Xiao Tang suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, you're the one who's unlucky."

Look how smug you are, you're such a stingy little thing, hmph.

Di Jingling nodded in satisfaction, not annoyed at all even though his wife was secretly criticizing him.

"My lord, shall we have a meal?"

Xiao Tang smiled and scooped up a large spoonful of food, asking him if he wanted to eat, but without any hesitation, she stuffed all the food into the man's mouth.

Caught off guard, Di Jingling opened her mouth and naturally accepted the spoonful of food...

The man's expression changed as soon as he started chewing.

"What is this?" He looked at Xiao Tang with a puzzled expression.

The spiciness hits you right in the head.

It has a strange texture with some pork offal, but it's not fishy at all; it's fresh, fragrant, spicy, and numbing.

Xiao Tang stared intently at him, warning him, "You'd better swallow it, don't spit it out!"

Di Jingling did have the idea of ​​spitting out the dish, but Xiao Tang's low sneer intimidated him into swallowing it.

It was supposed to be chewed and swallowed carefully.

He had never eaten such a dish before, and he rarely ate chili peppers.

The spiciness hits you right in the head.

Xiao Tang smiled: "Husband, this pickled pepper pork liver tastes good, doesn't it?"

The taste... is good, but it's also very spicy and can be quite intoxicating.

Di Jingling pursed her lips, and after a while, she murmured an "Mmm," forcibly enduring the spiciness before turning and leaving.

He would only drink water voraciously when Xiao Tang couldn't see him.

He didn't want Xiao Tang to laugh at him for not being able to eat spicy food.

Watching Di Jingling stride away, Xiao Tang could easily guess that the man was definitely going to get some water.

She slightly curled her lips, clicking her tongue in disbelief that he didn't appreciate good food. She slowly ate the food in her hands, only wanting to exclaim in admiration: Delicious!

...

That night.

Di Jingling could hold his wife in his arms with complete satisfaction, and he didn't care about the spicy food he had eaten during the day.

only……

I could smell that Xiao Tang's hair didn't smell nice...

It also had a strange smell.

He frowned. "Tangtang, what's that smell in your hair?"

Xiao Tang replied absentmindedly, "Luosifen (river snail rice noodles)."

Di Jingling: ? ? ?

"Oh dear, you wouldn't understand such heavenly delicacies. Sweetie, I'll take a bath and wash my hair tomorrow, so you definitely won't feel wronged."

She patted his handsome face, as if to comfort him.

Di Jingling was not comforted at all; in fact, she found it absurd.
