The Fifth Prince didn't really understand whether Tao Yao was playing hard to get to elevate her own status or genuinely trying to establish herself as a paragon of chastity.
He was always considered a heartthrob at school and had never experienced being rejected by a girl before.
Even though those girls had boyfriends, as long as he smiled and made a joke or said something to coax them, the girls would smile sweetly and never show any rejection towards him.
With just a nod, he could probably steal away girls who already have boyfriends without much effort.
His gaze shifted to Shu Yan's hand on Tao Yao's waist, finding it somewhat irritating. He paused, stood beside the two, and said with a smile, "I seem to have heard that Young Master Shu and Miss Tao grew up together?"
Si Yi paused, and before the two could answer, he chuckled to himself, "Si Lili and I grew up together. My little sister was young and naive back then, very easy to fool. Just give her a piece of candy and she'd become very clingy, coming to me with everything and even hugging me to share things..."
Before he could finish speaking, crackling lightning flashed around Si Yi.
“Young Master Shu,” Si Yi turned his head, shrugged, and said with a hint of provocation in his eyes, “Why did you get angry and attack me? I was just discussing me and my sister.”
"Judging from the Fifth Prince's guarded demeanor, he doesn't seem like he'd be having a casual chat." Shu Yan's expression was indifferent, no longer even bothering with perfunctory attitude; he simply couldn't be bothered to deal with him.
Liao Zifei, who was standing to the side, had already pulled out the white bone: "Fifth Prince, if you want to put on a show of brotherly and sisterly affection, you should hurry up and go find your sister. You two should live not far apart."
Si Yi's gaze swept across Tao Yao's face, but still landed on the hand around her waist. He smiled and said, "I think it's quite nice to have a younger sister who habitually relies on you for everything. She's not only easy to fool, but also very obedient, right, Young Master Shu?"
The Fifth Prince's voice carried a hint of mockery and provocation. He spoke casually, but in his heart he was still fully focused on guarding against Shu Yan's supernatural ability to strike again.
He silently counted down the time in his mind, waiting for Shu Yan to make another move so that he could take a more comprehensive defense.
In the blink of an eye, a foot, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, kicked him hard in the buttocks.
Si Yi was too focused on Shu Yan's superpower, after all, it was not an easy thing to defend against mental superpowers in a cool and stylish way.
Unexpectedly, instead of a lightning-fast battle of superpowers, this unexpected disaster suddenly broke out!
Caught off guard by the sudden kick, the Fifth Prince stumbled and lurched forward several steps.
He steadied himself and turned his head.
Tao Yao was pulling her legs back; her fair and slender legs landed on the ground, and her pleated skirt, which went past her knees, was still swaying slightly.
Si Yi was dazzled by those legs. He looked up, but before he could speak, the beautiful young woman stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face.
Snap!
"I'm talking to your sister!" Tao Yao was furious. If the other party didn't have a royal status, she would have thrown her out of the spaceship today. "What do you mean having a sister is great? If you're sick, go see a doctor. Don't disgust us here!"
Liao Zifei held the white bone in his hand, speechless with astonishment.
Everyone around was stunned by the kick and slap!
A bolt from the blue! Completely silent! A centenarian driving a tractor!
The quick-thinking bodyguard, Zhou Yuan, had tried to step forward to block the slap for his boss, but was immediately bound to the ground by mental energy.
Zhou Yuan felt that his career was doomed.
After he became unable to move, he suddenly felt that Miss Tao was living a really cool life, and he was very envious!
"You!" Si Yi's face was red and swollen, as if he was also stunned by the crisp and vivid slap.
Tao Yao was still not satisfied after she finished hitting him. She turned around, hugged Shu Yan, and buried her head in his chest: "Ayan, this is disgusting. I'm disgusted. Is he implying that I'm just your sister and that our relationship is only that of brother and sister?"
Shu Yan wrapped his arms around her, gently placing his lips on her earlobe, coaxing, "Baby, don't be angry. From now on, we can only be husband and wife."
"What does the Fifth Prince mean by saying this? Does he want to become a shameless third party between us? As a prince, how can he do such a thing? Doesn't he feel ashamed? I'll have Grandpa ask Uncle Emperor whether the royal family is willing to let him embarrass the royal family like this."
Feeling wronged, Tao Yao burst into tears and hugged her boyfriend.
This seemingly innocent, tea-like crying sound, like the unexpected flying kick from that day, caught everyone off guard.
It was only a minute since the slap was delivered!
The Fifth Prince went from being completely bewildered to being shocked and then furious.
He realized that Tao Yao was a terrorist who "talked about being scared but kept leaving corpses behind"!
Upon hearing the crying, Hu Tiantian and Xie Langhuan quickly rushed out of their respective rooms.
When questioned by the two, Tao Yao, with tears streaming down her face, said that the Fifth Prince wanted to introduce Shu Yan to a good younger sister who was obedient and easy to fool.
The two men glared at each other and cursed angrily: Shameless! Despicable! They deserve to be beaten! Beat them to death!
Of course, by this time, the Fifth Prince had already left with a red and swollen face and a cold expression.
He did want to slap her back, but he was also worried that if this woman got angry, she would really go and complain to her father.
Even if it's not a complaint, what if there are even stranger things happening later?
It's hard to guard against a villain!
Liao Zifei held the white bone in his hand, looking at the cute, tearful, and delicate girl in front of him, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
He believed that as long as Si Yi had a shred of sense, he would never come and cause trouble in front of Tao Yao again.
Women are terrifying!
Xia ultimately failed to secure a double room in this area.
Not all double rooms are the same. Shu Yan couldn't bear to let Tao Yao suffer by choosing a poorly equipped room because of uncertain dangers.
Shu Yan and Tao Yao each stayed in their original rooms. Of course, it was also fine for the other person to sleep on the floor or squeeze into the other's bed in the middle of the night.
However, Shu Yan couldn't go and share a bed with Tao Yao.
Although he began cultivating the profound skill of "remaining unmoved by a woman's advances" after entering puberty, he never allowed himself to reach the maximum level.
He was afraid that if he continued to cultivate, he might actually master the divine skill of "remaining unmoved by a woman in his lap" and become like Liu Xiahui.
However, upon reaching adulthood and the point where he could "sit on someone's lap at will," he became impotent due to his mastery of divine skills.
Wouldn't this make you cry in the bathroom?!
Shu Yan didn't want to cry herself to sleep in the bathroom, nor did she want to make herself thirstier by daydreaming about plums in the middle of the night. After having an idea, taking a cold shower was really unpleasant!
Therefore, after careful consideration, he chose to take turns guarding Taoyao's door with Xia Xia!
