427: With anger in his heart, he took revenge on the two women
Half an hour later.
"Get out!"
Su Xiaobai was thrown out of the Empress's bedchamber by Her Majesty, along with his thermos.
"Your Majesty, please let me explain! Your subject truly didn't mean to!" Su Xiaobai cried out, prostrating himself before the tightly shut bedchamber door.
But Her Majesty's anger clearly hadn't subsided; she had no intention of acknowledging him.
Su Xiaobai was like a mute eating bitter coptis, unable to express his suffering. He clenched his fists, a flicker of rage in his eyes.
"Linger, Little Han, you two have gone too far this time!"
Once was enough, but again and again? This time, he absolutely had to teach them a good lesson!
Whoosh!!!
His figure vanished from where he stood, and in no time, he appeared at the Linglong Merchant Guild.
"Halt! Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Linglong Merchant Guild?!"
The guards of the Linglong Merchant Guild, seeing someone suddenly appear before them, looking quite miserable, with a bruised nose and swollen face, immediately asked with vigilant eyes.
Su Xiaobai didn't want to waste words with him and asked directly, "Where is your Young Miss? Tell her to come see me at once!"
"Heh, do you even qualify to see our Young Miss?" The guard sneered, "Do you know what relationship our Young Miss has with Lord Su?"
"With your attitude, you want to see our Young Miss? No way!"
Su Xiaobai looked puzzled. He was standing right in front of them, were they blind?
"I am Su Xiaobai. I want to see your Young Miss now. If you keep dawdling, I'll go in myself."
The guards were silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha!!!"
"With your pathetic appearance, you dare claim to be Lord Su? Why don't you go look in a puddle and see what you look like!"
"Get lost! Don't try to draw attention here. There are countless people who want to see the Young Miss, and many impersonate Lord Su, but you're the worst impersonator!"
The guards waved their hands, a hint of disdain and impatience in their eyes, as if they would resort to force if Su Xiaobai continued to be difficult.
Su Xiaobai's eyes widened. He didn't realize at this moment that he had been beaten so badly by Her Majesty that his face was bruised and swollen, completely disfigured. He only felt immense humiliation.
His true self had arrived, yet he was called the worst impersonator! Who was infringing on his likeness!?
"Hmph! This official will find them myself!"
He snorted coldly, his figure vanishing from where he stood. As a top Cultivator of the Second Realm, did a few mere guards think they could stop him?
He had only asked the guards to announce him earlier to put some psychological pressure on Shui Yanling and the others, to let them experience the taste of fear.
He went directly to Shui Yanling's boudoir.
A neat pink bed, a clean desk, and a completely empty wardrobe.
He swept his Divine Sense around, only to find: no one!
"They ran away!?" Su Xiaobai opened his eyes in disbelief.
He looked at a letter on the desk, seemingly left for him intentionally.
He opened the envelope, and it read:
"Xiaobai, the matters in the capital have been mostly dealt with. Qingzhou still needs me to oversee things, so He Han sister and I have gone back first. Don't miss us.
Sincerely, Yanling."
"Heh... heheh." Su Xiaobai's forehead pulsed with veins, and the letter was crumpled into a ball. "You think you can run away after doing something bad? It's not that simple!"
He tore open the Void Realm and then stepped into it.
...
On the flying boat.
Shui Yanling and He Han sat opposite each other. They were in the luxurious private cabin of the flying boat, the air fresh and the scenery pleasant.
"Thi... Third Miss, you said, what if Master catches up to us after we've pranked him repeatedly?"
He Han trembled, feeling a very bad premonition ever since they started.
Shui Yanling calmly took a sip of ice black tea. "He Han sister, relax. I know Xiaobai's temper very well. He's just angry these few days."
"We'll go back to Qingzhou and hide for a while. When his anger subsides, we'll come back. At most, he'll scold us a few times; it won't be a big deal."
"Moreover, when we came, I specifically blocked the news. No one knows where we went, so he won't find us," Shui Yanling waved her hand.
"Oh? Really?"
Suddenly! A cold voice came from behind Shui Yanling.
Shui Yanling's delicate body trembled violently.
He Han saw that both strange and familiar face, and her small face turned ghost-like with fright.
"Ma... Master! I'm sorry!!"
She immediately bowed her head and prostrated herself, hands on the ground, kneeling on the floor with sincere sincerity.
Shui Yanling also stiffly turned around, then saw Su Xiaobai's bruised and swollen face, which inexplicably looked comical.
She covered her mouth, her pretty face flushed, "Xia... Xiaobai, your face... Hahahaha!!"
She finally couldn't hold it in and burst into laughter.
Because it was truly rare to see Su Xiaobai in such a sorry state, as if he had been severely beaten.
Su Xiaobai also turned to look at the dressing mirror in the room at that moment, and seeing his current appearance, he shivered all over, almost not recognizing himself.
Her Majesty's blows were too ruthless, she really didn't hold back at all, aiming directly for the face!
Seeing Shui Yanling still laughing, he immediately became furious, several veins bulging on his forehead, cracking his knuckles with a snapping sound.
"You two are really something, repeatedly drugging me! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to teach you a lesson?"
Shui Yanling also felt that Su Xiaobai was truly angry. Knowing she was in the wrong, she immediately copied He Han, prostrating herself with hands on the ground, kneeling honestly.
"I'm sorry, husband, Linger knows her mistake!"
But Su Xiaobai clearly wouldn't let it go that easily. The Killing Intent in his eyes didn't diminish in the slightest. "If apologies were useful, what would punishment be for?"
Shui Yanling and He Han's hearts immediately tightened.
"Xia... Xiaobai, just forgive us this once? We'll never dare to do it again!"
"Master, Third Miss forced me to do it, it has nothing to do with me!" He Han quickly cried out, begging for mercy.
"He Han sister, you traitor! Didn't we agree to share blessings and misfortunes?" Shui Yanling's eyes widened, then she threw caution to the wind, "Fine, since you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!"
"Xiaobai, actually, this disciple of yours..."
Before she could finish her sentence, He Han quickly covered her mouth.
"Third Miss, I was wrong, please don't say it, okay?" He Han pleaded.
"Hmph! If only you had known this earlier, why did you do it in the first place?" Shui Yanling snorted coldly.
"You two are having quite a lively argument." Su Xiaobai's face was as cold as frost. "But I'm not in the mood to listen to you argue. Now, immediately, turn around and accept your punishment!"
His tone left no room for doubt.
Both girls' faces showed expressions of terror, but having done something with a guilty conscience, they dared not resist Su Xiaobai.
They obediently turned around.
"Um... Xiaobai, considering it's our first offense, can you go a little easier?" Shui Yanling still tried to salvage the situation.
Su Xiaobai: "Heh."
A moment later, a series of painful screams emanated from the flying boat, but the sounds were all blocked within by Su Xiaobai.
Ten minutes later.
Su Xiaobai sat back in the chair with his arms crossed, legs propped up, and said irritably, "Let's see if you two dare to drug me again next time!"
Shui Yanling and He Han lay on the bed, sobbing bitterly.
"Never again, never again!"
Su Xiaobai had truly used a heavy hand this time. Both of them were beaten so badly that their skin was torn, and they probably wouldn't be able to sit down for the entire month.
