Chapter 312: Don’t Call Me Xiao Xi!
Ling Xi frowned slightly when she saw what the Ninth Prince was doing. She took a side step, and Xiaolang stepped in between them, pushing the Ninth Prince to the side.
The others didnt notice what was happening, but the Ninth Prince was angry. His anger flashed momentarily before he put on a dazzling smile.
Hello, everyone. I am Miss Ling Xis friend, and also the Ninth Prince of the Cangyang Kingdom. Please rest assured, for as long as Im alive, the Harmony family will never come here again.
This was excellent news to the people of Goldfish Island. They didnt care who the Ninth Prince was and thanked him for his help. Some of them even kneeled on the ground, but the Ninth Prince helped them up. No need to thank me. I am part of the imperial family, and protecting the masses is simply my duty. You should thank Miss Ling Xi instead; if it wasnt for her, I wouldnt have known what was happening here.
The villagers didnt know why Long Chen wasnt here, but they thought the Ninth Prince was a good guy too. They had a good impression of him, but they were even more thankful for Ling Xi.
Seeing that the villagers would not be harmed anymore, Ling Xi was genuinely happy for them. She looked at their smiling faces, but she was still worried deep down inside since the Ninth Prince wouldnt leave her alone.
I wonder what Brother Chen is doing. I had no choice but to plead with the Ninth Prince today. But I think Brother Chen will be happy to learn that the people of Goldfish Island were saved. Ling Xi was still satisfied with the outcome.
Miss Ling XI, where is Long Chen? After thanking her, Chen Feng asked the question that had been on everyones minds. Even though the Ninth Prince had successfully prevented the dwarves from attacking again, they still preferred Long Chen for some reason. Long Chen was much more sincere compared to the Ninth Prince, who appeared fake.
Brother Chen has gone into the Counter Essence Realm as an Immortal Guard. He will return soon. Ling Xi was excited when they asked about Long Chen.
Wow, the Counter Essence Realm. The villagers sighed in admiration. The Counter Essence Realm was not a place where normal people could enter. They were naturally happy that Long Chen could become an Immortal Guard. Of course, they didnt know that the Immortal Guards were nothing compared to the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince was like a ticking bomb when he saw that he had been cast aside. He saw Ling Xis face brimming with happiness when she talked about Long Chen and swallowed his anger. Xiao Xi, lets go back now. Should I take you to the most famous restaurant in the capital? They serve many foreign dishes there.
Ling Xis face turned cold. She glared at the Ninth Prince when she heard him call her Xiao Xi. She didnt mince her words even knowing he was royalty. Didnt I tell you before to not call me Xiao Xi? Only Brother Chen can call me that.
The coldness of her tone startled the villagers. They looked at each other, and some of the smarter ones instantly figured out what was happening. The Ninth Prince wanted to take Ling Xi as his own! That meant that whatever the Ninth Prince had said about it being his duty to protect Goldfish Island was bullshit. He just wanted to show off his good side to her!
The admiration and gratefulness they had towards the Ninth Prince evaporated. Some of them shook their heads in disappointment after seeing what kind of man he was. They preferred the simple and hot-blooded Long Chen over him.
They whispered and discussed amongst themselves.
I thought the Ninth Prince was a good guy. The Harmony family works for the imperial family and is their fang. There is no reason he wouldnt know about Goldfish Island.
Enough. If the Ninth Prince gets angry, all of us will be fucked. He didnt save us out of generosity, and he could kill us very easily.
The Ninth Prince almost exploded with anger after he heard the discussions and how Ling Xi hadnt shown any regard for his honor. His breathing got heavier and he glared at her, his eyes seething with anger. Ling Xi was not afraid and continued to stand her ground.
So? Are you angry? Its useless to be mad at me. The worst you can do is kill me, and I do not fear death.
Ling Xi was adamant, and the Ninth Prince could do nothing as he stared at the beauty in front of him. He waved his arm at the villagers. Just go on with your day. Theres nothing to see here.
Miss Ling Xi Chen Feng didnt know what to do. The Ninth Prince was visibly chasing them away.
Uncle Chen, take the villagers and leave. Goldfish Island is safe. I will ask Brother Chen to bring me here to play some other time. Ling Xi smiled at them. She was visibly friendlier towards them.
Alright, but be careful. Goldfish Island welcomes you always. Chen Feng sighed and took the villagers back.
Once everyone was gone, the Ninth Prince stared at Ling Xi with longing eyes. Ling Xi, Ive thought about many ways to make you like me. Cant you see how sincere Ive been towards you?
Whats sincerity? Can I eat it? Im hungry and I want to eat now. Ling Xi glared at him and didnt back down.
Stop changing the subject. Im being serious here. What part of me is inferior to Long Chen? I look better, Im stronger, and I have the highest status! Why cant you think? The Ninth Prince panicked, his voice choking. Normal women wouldve fallen for his sullen look out of heartbreak.
You want to compare yourself with Brother Chen? What a joke. Let me ask you this: would you die for me? Brother Chen would, Ling Xi said in a cold voice.
Stop joking with me. Why would I die? The Ninth Prince didnt understand.
Thats why I said you dont know what love is. The reason why you love me is because of my beauty. Brother Chen still took good care of me even when I was a nobody, Ling Xi said happily as she thought back to their time together.
Nonsense. Dont misunderstand me! Fine, I promise that I will do whatever Long Chen would. Dying for you is nothing! The Ninth Prince was going all out just to make Ling Xi his. Naturally, he would not do something that stupid.
Then do it. Die for me. Ling Xi took a few steps back and stared at him blankly.
Ling Xis coldness shattered his heart. Staring at the beauty who thought his life was worthless, the Ninth Prince realized that his efforts for the past month had amounted to nothing.
Fine, let me ask you one last question. Will you be with me or not? You have two choices. One, agree to it. Two, I force you to be with me and Long Chen dies! The Ninth Prince revealed his true intention.
So youre finally revealing your true self. Ling Xi was not surprised. She had expected this day to come when the Ninth Prince realized that all of his efforts were in vain; she knew that he would reveal his true colors eventually.
The Ninth Prince had always used his status and power to make others submit to him. He would never use his heart to win someone over.
Ling Xi was not an idiot. She knew that he would one day go crazy once Long Chen entered the Counter Essence Realm. She never told Long Chen about it because she wanted him to focus on finding the Nine Heavens Immortal Fruit and not worry about her.
Naturally, Ling Xi was prepared for this; she had not exposed the Ninth Prince recklessly. She had been practicing her technique to communicate with Mo Xiaolang and could now talk freely. She was doing so at this very moment.
Xiaolang, run. Itll be bad if he uses you to threaten me. Brother Chen will find the Nine Heavens Immortal Gruit for me. My physical body is the root of all problems, so I can just discard it. No one can harm me again once Im back in the Ling Xi Sword.
Ling Xi and Xiaolang had discussed that this would be the final option. The Ninth Prince was arrogant, so they knew that this day would come eventually. It was a miracle that Ling Xi had managed to delay it for this long.
How could she ever agree to letting the Ninth Prince take her out on a date around the capital?
Sister Ling Xi, Im still worried about you. Im a Category four Earth-tier, so he wont have an easy time beating me Xiaolang didnt run away but stood between her and the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince clenched his teeth as he snarled, Ling Xi, you are forcing me to do this
Ling Xi took a few steps back and stared at him coldly. She was using her spirit to urge Xiaolang to run away, but he didnt. He was not afraid of deathhe acted as a barrier for her.
My brother told me to protect you, so I will not take even a single step back before he appears!
