13: Princess Pingyang's white silk! Fairy Luo comes to visit!

Li Shengyuan was already accustomed to Princess Pingyang's clingy behavior.

A smile appeared on his taut face as he raised his hand to pinch Princess Pingyang's rosy cheek, saying with a smile, "You say that as if you wouldn't follow me even if I didn't take you."

Princess Pingyang huffed, "Anyway, I'm sticking with you. You can't escape my grasp."

"Besides, Imperial Sister ordered you to bring me along. If anything happens to me, you'll be in for it!"

Li Shengyuan found Princess Pingyang's fierce expression amusing.

"Then aren't you, a dignified Princess of Great Qian, afraid of it reaching His Majesty's ears that you're openly flirting with a man in public?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of fear flickered in Princess Pingyang's eyes as she recalled the embarrassing scene of being scolded by Imperial Sister.

Seeing this, Li Shengyuan chuckled, "How about that? Know you're scared now, don't you!"

Though Princess Pingyang was terrified inside, her two hands clutching Li Shengyuan's arm tightened even more, and she said defiantly, "What's there to be afraid of? There's no one else here. Even if Imperial Sister finds out, I'll just expose you and say you made me do it!"

"Oh, you! I've always treated you well, and this is how you repay me?" Li Shengyuan said indignantly, "Since you've said that, it seems I'll have to collect some interest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shengyuan's large hands broke free from Princess Pingyang and began to resist.

"How about that? Do you know you're wrong yet? Still dare to expose me? It seems your skin is itching again!" Li Shengyuan looked triumphant, but his large hands were relentless.

Princess Pingyang said sweetly, "Anyway, Li Gege, you're Imperial Sister's most beloved junior disciple, she won't do anything to you."

"Oh, you're still unrepentant? It seems it's time for some serious punishment!"

Princess Pingyang's status was a symbol of nobility to others, not to be overstepped.

But to Li Shengyuan, who had transmigrated, status and such were all fleeting clouds.

After becoming a disciple, Li Shengyuan often ran to the Imperial Sister's sleeping quarters in the palace. At that time, she and Princess Pingyang lived with her imperial concubine mother.

For some reason, Princess Pingyang, who was two years younger than him, would follow him around calling him 'Gege' every time Li Shengyuan visited, like a little shadow.

Even clingier than his little sister, Li Ruotang!

However, Li Shengyuan, who had transmigrated, only found this little snot-nosed girl annoying and couldn't shake her off. And since she was a princess, he couldn't do anything to her.

Li Shengyuan could only let her follow him patiently, occasionally asking him a headache-inducing barrage of 'why' questions...

But gradually, as she grew older, and after his Imperial Sister ascended the throne, Princess Pingyang would be lectured if she disregarded her image even a little.

Only in private would she act more uninhibited.

She even frequently came up with bizarre reasons to report cases to the Town Demon Bureau, all for the sake of spending time with Li Shengyuan...

It was either that the palace dog was possessed and couldn't speak, or that the kitten could do backflips, fearing that the kitten would become a spirit and harm people...

And she specifically requested that Li Shengyuan handle it!

Now, Princess Pingyang, who was only two years younger than him, was also eighteen.

She was a graceful and poised Princess of Great Qian, finally 'grown up'...

Princess Pingyang was either truly stubborn, as she never admitted fault or begged for mercy in front of Li Shengyuan.

Li Shengyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Cicada-wing white silk!"

Princess Pingyang, in his arms, shyly looked up at Li Shengyuan, and said softly and timidly, "Knowing Li Gege likes this, Princess Pingyang came on her first day of duty just to give Li Gege a surprise."

"How is it, Li Gege, do you like it?"

Looking down directly into Princess Pingyang's expectant eyes, Li Shengyuan chuckled.

He used his actions to tell Princess Pingyang that he liked it very much!

And just as the two were intimately whispering in the office, Luo Yuzhu, who had left the Black White Academy, had already arrived at the Town Demon Bureau.

After explaining her purpose, a servant handling miscellaneous tasks came to Li Shengyuan's office door to knock and announce.

"Reporting to Gold Robe Li, Luo Yuzhu from Black White Academy is requesting an audience outside the yamen!"

Li Shengyuan and Princess Pingyang, who were just whispering, both paused upon hearing this.

Then, a look of realization appeared in Li Shengyuan's eyes, and he replied to the outside, "Understood. Go tell her I'll be right there."

As the main person in charge of teaching Daoist techniques at Black White Academy, they naturally knew Luo Yuzhu.

Princess Pingyang, however, asked curiously, "Why is she looking for you?"

Then her eyes darted around, and she looked at Li Shengyuan suspiciously, gradually widening her eyes and saying, "Could it be that Li Gege won Fairy Luo's heart and then abandoned her, and she's here to demand an explanation and responsibility?!"

There was no jealousy or anger in her eyes, only a desire for gossip. Her words were both teasing and a craving for the truth.

She knew Li Gege's charm. Even the famous cold beauty, Luo Yuzhu Xianzi of Black White Academy, might not be immune!

Li Shengyuan had already guessed Luo Yuzhu's intention, but he gave Princess Pingyang in his arms an annoyed look and said, "Am I that kind of irresponsible person?!"

"That's right..." Princess Pingyang nodded thoughtfully, then her eyes widened again excitedly and she said, "So, this Fairy Luo really had her heart captured by Li Gege, didn't she?!"
