Chapter 301: Countdown to the End (Part Two)
"Seventh Princess, your secret has been exposed!"
"That's right, something happened!"
"Do you admit your crime of marrying a mortal without permission?"
"Do you plead guilty or not?"
Nezha, annoyed, smacked Ao Bing in the stomach with his elbow, "Don't mimic me!"
Suddenly struck by a violent blow, Ao Bing clutched his stomach and cried out in protest, "Isn't this supposed to be more imposing?"
Xiao Qi, who had been on high alert, was amused and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you here for?"
Nezha coughed twice, striking a pose, and asked in a serious tone, "What do you think?"
Xiao Qi looked at the two of them with disbelief: "Ao Bing is one thing, but Nezha, you don't seem like the kind of person who would uphold the Heavenly Laws."
"No, how could I just let it go?"
Ao Bing protested, only to be glared at by Nezha: "Don't interrupt!"
In a fit of anger, Ao Bing shut his mouth, looking aggrieved, and watched the two talk.
"My second brother has become a judicial god, what's wrong with me upholding the heavenly laws?"
Nezha lied through his teeth, and his confident demeanor intimidated Xiao Qi.
Seeing her serious expression, Nezha coughed again and said, "Seventh Princess, to tell you the truth, it was only by chance that Ao Bing and I discovered that you had secretly descended to the mortal realm and married a mortal. Considering your relationship with your second brother, as long as you are willing to leave that mortal, we will not tell the Queen Mother."
“That’s right!” Ao Bing nodded in agreement.
Xiao Qi shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I will not leave Dong Yong."
Oh, her boyfriend's name is Dong Yong.
Nezha and Ao Bing exchanged a glance before realizing that they had been discussing for so long without paying attention to who the man was.
"Is that Dong... Dong Yong really that good? You're willing to defy the heavenly laws to be with him?"
Xiaoqi smiled sweetly: "Yes, he is very good. He is filial, kind, and handsome. He is a rare good man. I have fallen in love with him, so I want to be with him."
These words sent a chill down the spines of both Nezha and Ao Bing.
Ao Bing couldn't help but ask, "Filial piety, benevolence, and handsomeness are all virtues, but they're not necessarily good for you. Could it be... that you, Seventh Princess, are actually attracted to looks?"
Xiao Qi's face darkened slightly at Ao Bing's sincere question, and she added, "He's very good to me too!"
Nezha and Ao Bing subconsciously glanced at Xiao Qi's current clothes and appearance, and sincerely asked, "What's so good about it?"
"Are you here to watch a play? Why are you asking so many questions?" Xiao Qi sighed. "Anyway, I'm not leaving. I just ask that you keep this a secret for me."
Seeing the Seventh Princess's pleading expression, Nezha was puzzled: "But the Queen Mother will find out sooner or later."
"Then let's find out later. It's my good fortune to be able to spend more time with Dong Yong."
"Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"I'm not afraid."
"Aren't you afraid of ending up like your aunt Yao Ji, being suppressed and having your immortal bones extracted?"
"I'm not afraid."
Okay, it's hopeless.
Nezha and Ao Bing exchanged glances and realized they were people who couldn't be reasoned with.
"Alright then, since you've made up your mind, Seventh Princess, we won't bother you any longer. We hope you get what you want."
Thank you.
Nezha and Ao Bing disappeared instantly. Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, composed herself, and headed home.
After she left, Nezha, Ao Bing, Yang Jiao, and Yang Chan emerged from behind the tree.
Nezha shrugged: "If the plan fails, the Seventh Princess won't want to go back."
Yang Chan looked in the direction Xiao Qi had left with a complicated expression, and said softly, "Then let's start Plan Two. I want to see if this Dong Yong is worthy of Xiao Qi's affection."
"You don't need to go; Ao Bing will suffice!"
Nezha looked at Ao Bing, who pointed to himself uncertainly: "Me...me?"
...
"oops--"
As Dong Yong was walking home, a beautifully dressed woman wearing a veil suddenly stumbled at his feet.
"Young master, I twisted my ankle. Could you help me up?"
A pair of tender, watery eyes looked at him pitifully, making Dong Yong flustered. He stammered, "Y-yes."
Using his wide sleeves to separate his palms, he carefully and respectfully helped the "woman" up.
But just as she stood up, the "woman" lost her balance and fell back into his arms, "accidentally" pulling off her face mask and revealing her alluring face.
"oops--"
Dong Yong was stunned for a moment, then pushed him away, saying, "Young lady, men and women should not touch each other!"
Not far away, the three invisible figures saw this scene. Yang Chan nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, they know their limits."
Nezha scoffed: "It's not over yet, just you wait and see."
Yang Jiao, however, focused entirely on the "woman": "Ao Bing...acted quite well."
After he said that, Yang Chan and Nezha fell silent, looking at Ao Bing, who was pretentiously trying to curry favor with Dong Yong, with mixed feelings.
"Young master, I am an only child in my family, and although we are very wealthy, we have no heir. You are so handsome and kind, I wonder if we could marry? I...I..."
Unable to continue, Ao Bing could only cover his face and pretend to be shy, but the jade bracelet and gold ring on his hand were displayed very well.
Dong Yong remained silent for a while, then distanced himself from her and said apologetically, "I am grateful for your kindness, but young lady, I am already married and I love my wife very much."
"Okay, I understand."
After saying that, Ao Bing covered his face and ran away.
"Tsk, your acting is terrible. Didn't you twist your ankle earlier? Why are you running so fast?"
Nezha shook his head and went in to comment on Ao Bing's performance. Ao Bing rolled his eyes and said, "If you're so good, then you do it! You have so many requirements. I'm already doing well just by being able to act."
“What are you saying?” Nezha looked him up and down with ill intent. “I see you’re quite skilled at dressing up as a woman. Do you have some kind of hobby behind our backs?”
"Nezha! Don't force me to hit you!" Ao Bing gritted his teeth and raised his fist.
Nezha crossed his arms dismissively: "Do you think you can beat me?"
Ao Bing sneered, "When we get back, I'll give the Ruyi Jingu Bang to Wukong, and I'll train him to beat you up!"
"Ha, what a joke, that little monkey can't beat me?"
"I think it'll work perfectly!"
"Alright, alright," Yang Chan pulled the two apart as they started arguing again, glaring at them each with a childish look, "We're getting down to business!"
Catching Yang Chan's gaze, Ao Bing touched his nose sheepishly, looked around, and then realized that Yang Jiao was not there. He asked curiously, "Where is Brother Yang?"
Here it is.
Yang Jiao suddenly appeared behind the three of them. Yang Chan said impatiently, "Big brother, you're back. I just checked and this Dong Yong is indeed a good person. He's not greedy for money or lustful."
Yang Jiao leaned lazily against the tree trunk and casually said, "No one would be tempted."
"What's the meaning?"
Three pairs of curious eyes looked over.
"I just checked, and Xiao Qi didn't hide her fairy identity at all. She transformed the house, she took care of everything at home, and she solved all the problems Dong Yong encountered. With such a fairy who truly loves him, who wouldn't change their heart?"
"Then this test is useless?"
Yang Jiao shrugged: "It's not entirely useless. At least Xiao Qi's judgment of people isn't so superficial. Regardless of how much sincerity Dong Yong has, he's at least a smart person."
"So what do we do next?" Yang Chan looked at Yang Jiao. "Are we just going to watch them get together like this?"
"How could such a great love not be tested by setbacks?" Yang Jiao raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Unwavering love deserves to be admired..."
