Chapter 215 - The Little Devil King that Everyone Hates

The corners of the fifth princess’ lips tugged upwards into a carefree smile. “Master, you don’t have to use that kind of a gaze to look at me. I don’t need pity. Although I sometimes really admire the deep relationships ordinary families have, I am a princess after all, and a princess who is pampered by her Imperial Father at that. It is destined that I gain some and lose some in this life.”

Ling Chuxi looked at the fifth princess who looked carefree, but her heart felt a little uncomfortable. So, it seems as though this little one was not thoughtless, but rather, she had long seen through everything. Although the fifth princess sounded carefree, the vague loneliness in her tone was still noticed by Ling Chuxi.

“However, after getting to know you, I feel that having a master in my life is really not too bad at all,” said the fifth princess with a giggle as she raised her head to look at Ling Chuxi. “Good thing I met you, master, otherwise I would still be a little devil king that everyone hates.”

“What about now then?” asked Ling Chuxi with a smile.

“Now, if I meet ten people, only nine hate me. It’s considered an improvement, right?” said the fifth princess as she smiled mischievously.

Ling Chuxi gave a helpless smile as she stretched out her head to pat the fifth princess’ head. “If you know that, then that’s good. Continue to change for the better. When the day comes where you are loved by all, I will give you a big gift.” Without waiting for the fifth princess to ask out of curiosity what the big gift was, Ling Chuxi spoke up again, “Ah, that’s right, Xia Zhuoyi should be coming to this academy very soon.”

“What? That hateful person is also coming here?!” exclaimed the fifth princess as she leapt up and lost her bearings. Her tone held a subtle tremor of excitement and enthusiasm.

“Indeed, in the future you won’t be lonely anymore. Every day there will be someone who will argue with you and disdain you,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile.

“Hmph, when he comes, just watch how I’ll deal with him! This is my territory!” declared the fifth princess as she rubbed her fist against her palm in excitement. After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Ling Chuxi. “By the way, master, Mother Consort really wants to see you. When you are free, come with me to the palace, okay? Now, let me find someone to spar with.” Once she finished her sentence, the fifth princess leapt up and ran off to look for someone to spar with.

Ling Chuxi smiled as she watched the fifth princess acting like a wild child, going all around to look for someone to spar with. Whichever group of students she approached, they would scatter and run away. No one would spar with her. But she did not give up and in the end, she went to Chu Jianyi to spar.

“Miss Ling Chuxi.” Suddenly a proud female voice spoke up by Ling Chuxi’s ear.

The corners of Ling Chuxi’s lips twitched. Did this voice not belong to E Shulan?

“Oh, hi,” greeted Ling Chuxi once she turned around and saw E Shulan, who had sat down beside her without a proper greeting and smiled superficially.

“Miss Ling Chuxi, you and the fifth princess seem to have a really good relationship.” E Shulan sat with two thighs put neatly together as they trembled slightly, and her hands were crossed one over the other and placed gently upon her thighs. She looked as noble as noble could be and as gentle as gentle could be. Either way, she had climbed onto her own pedestal in a full-blown way.

Ling Chuxi let out a little polite chortle and continued to smile on the surface without her muscles beneath actually moving along. She did not have much positive feelings towards this E Shulan.

“Just now, I overheard that Miss Ling Chuxi will be participating in the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce’s auction next month.” E Shulan acted as if she did not see that Ling Chuxi did not wish to speak to her as she continued to smile and speak, “I will also be attending. How coincidental. I know people from the Gao Clan’s Chamber of Commerce, so if you need anything, Miss Ling Chuxi, perhaps I will be able to help.” E Shulan did not know what Ling Chuxi wanted from the auction, but she wanted to win her over. Naturally, she needed to put in some effort and give her some benefits.

Ling Chuxi chuckled lightly again and said, “Oh, the Lord Deity’s Servant is really a good person. Good people will live long lives. Thank you for your offer.” Ling Chuxi gave another slight chuckle and then acted somewhat nonchalant.
