Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 761 - Encountering Youthful Fool
Chapter 761 Encountering Youthful Fool
At this moment, Lin Mengya was standing in front of the carriage, attracting the attention of many people.
All male creatures would involuntarily cast their eyes towards her.
After a moment of being in awe, they would leave regretfully.
Because beside the beautiful girl was a teenager dressed in an expensive dark blue robe. His handsome face made it hard to tell whether he was a boy or a girl, but he was staring at the men coldly.
With just a glance, these men were quickly bitten by reality.
They came to the realization that some girls were way out of their league. And that they were extremely lucky to have admired such a beauty from afar. If they desired more, they would have to pay a price they couldn’t handle.
“Isn’t it a little inappropriate for us to enter the palace like this?”
She smiled helplessly. It was not her intention to attract so much attention.
She had thought that since she was going to be a maid, she should be presentable at least.
Just like those maids in the Dajin Imperial Palace. Although they were not considered knock-out beauties, they were still rather pretty.
But Lin Mengya did not want being ‘presentable’ to result in such commotion.
“You’re fine. This is good. My mother is quite picky. She doesn’t like ordinary maids.”
Of course he was lying. If Lin Mengya knew that Xiaoyu just said those words to make her feel better, she would feel so bad.
Even the most honest boy in her yard had learned to lie. What had the world come to?
Fortunately, in the past days, Lin Zhongyu had developed another layer of skin.
So, although he felt guilty in his heart, he didn’t show it on the surface.
“Oh, okay. Then, do I need to comb my hair again? What style does your mother like, reserved and quiet, or steady and delicate? Should I act in a mature way, or be livelier?”
Lin Zhongyu smiled sweetly at his elder sister, who seemed to be nervous all of a sudden.
After openly giving Lin Mengya the ‘once over’, he nodded with satisfaction.
“You look great. After all sis, you used to be the most beautiful woman in the Capital City. You look as graceful as ever. My mother will definitely like you.”
What she hated most in life was waiting to be chosen.
In fact, every time she was waiting to be chosen, she would feel inexplicably nervous.
In order to cover up her nerves, she would always speak louder than others.
She couldn’t believe that she was still haunted by the same problem. She patted her own head gently and thought, “Why am I nervous? With Xiaoyu here, his mother will definitely take me in.”
The capital of Lieyun was quite vast. In Lin Mengya’s opinion, it seemed to be bigger than Lintian and Dajin.
But it seemed to lack some of that majestic feel of the royal family.
In terms of design, although there were some ingenious ideas, the overall feeling was more of a primitive style.
The infrastructure was there, from streets to shops, but most of which were made of greyish bricks and tiles. There were very few wealthy families.
Xiaoyu mentioned that this place was the outer skirts. The core of Lieyun, the capital city was inside.
“This place is really different from Dajin. It has that antique feel. Your father has good taste.”
Lin Mengya was strolling on the street leisurely, but Lin Zhongyu felt uncomfortable when he heard her words.
Although his sister pretended to let go of her identity, she probably didn’t realize that she was always comparing everything in Lieyun with that of Dajin.
In fact, Lin Mengya was still concerned about her homeland and her people.
Lin Mengya did not expect Xiaoyu to be so sensitive.
Walking on the street, the smell of medicine crept up her nose. Her mood brightened up.
There were many kinds of poisons here, and there was no need to hide them. Both buyers and sellers seemed natural.
To her, this was indeed a good place.
In a short while, she had collected many kinds of rare poisons.
Most girls preferred silk, satin, rouge and jewelry.
However she was different holding some strange poisonous herbs in her arms and smiling.
Lin Zhongyu stared blankly at his sister who was still in high spirits. “Yeah, she really is different,” he thought.
With a hobby like that, no one dared to mess with her.
Since ancient times, when a good looking couple went strolling on the streets, they would always attract some hooligans and street thugs.
Back when Long Tianyu was with her, even the soldiers on patrol dared not to approach them, much less street thugs.
But now the man next to her was cold enough, but not exactly strong.
So when Lin Mengya happily bought an anesthetic that could paralyze an elephant, she saw Xiaoyu, who had been playing the role of her shopping cart and purse, surrounded by a group of people.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. She hadn’t encountered such a situation for a long time.
Lin Mengya squeezed into the crowd politely, and then pushed her way to the best viewing position in the first row. Seeing how beautiful she was, no one said anything. She then took out a bag of candied fruit carefully selected for Xiaoyu, and gracefully became one of them.
Those people surrounding Xiaoyu should be some noble childes.
They had on expensive robes, and they had faces like that of a gentleman. They didn’t look like the type with weird fetishes.
And even if they were trying to pick a fight with Xiaoyu, they didn’t use lame lines like, “Hey little childe, you look so delicate and tender. Wanna come and have some fun with us?”
On the contrary, words such as, “The important responsibility of our country should not be handed over to a shameless scumbag like you”, and “If you have any conscience at all, you should commit suicide.”
“Hah! Just a bunch of naive patriotic youthful fools.”
Like the onlookers, Lin Mengya snorted at these pathetic attempts of insults.
But the young man, who was full of sophistry, became more and more heated. In the end, he was spitting as he spoke, and his face turned red. He almost wanted to shout in Xiaoyu’s ear.
Xiaoyu, on the other hand, had a good temper. He kept a straight face the entire time and did not even bat an eyelid.
Xiaoyu probably thought that the man’s words were just like passing gas, or he was used to youthful fools’ indignant words.
Come to think of it, it was probably a little bit of both.
Lin Mengya got bored of watching them. That youthful fool really couldn’t come up with anything constructive. Just the same nonsense repeated over and over again.
After spitting out a bayberry core, she walked to Xiaoyu’s side while that loud youthful fool was panting.
“Your friend?”
She glanced at the youthful fool. In fact, even she had to admit, it was more like an eye-roll.
Xiaoyu made a snort, then glanced at youthful fool with disdain, and said firmly, “Just a stranger.”
Suddenly, the youthful fool froze, and his eyes widened. He couldn’t believe that he was not at all acknowledged.
And his eyes inadvertently fell on the beauty in purple who came out of nowhere, and his already reddened face turned even redder.
Seeing that these two people seemed to be familiar with each other, the youthful fool couldn’t help but worry for Lin Mengya.
“Miss, this man is ruthless, shameless, and devoid of conscience. Don’t be deceived by him!”
After a series of idiomatic lines, Lin Mengya wondered if this guy could speak normally without using idioms.
However, she felt a little angry when she heard his words.
The corners of her mouth slowly lifted. And her innocent eyes made the angry young man blush and his heart beat faster.
But before the pink bubbles could appear in his imagination, Lin Mengya’s ensuing words completely crushed his unrealistic fantasy.
“Oh, you’re talking about him? Yeah you’re right, I taught him everything. By the way, since verbal abuse is what you want to do, then you’re better off swearing. For example…”
Lin Mengya just mouthed the ensuing expletives.
She did not speak the expletives out loud out of respect for the youthful fool. She also wanted to maintain her ladylike image that she had worked so hard to build.
However, because those expletives had a lot of destructive power, the youthful fool seemed to be struck by something.
His face instantly turned pale, as his world and his values had been torn apart. She actually took pity on him.
However, Lin Mengya was not a tenderhearted woman, especially towards such a stubborn young man. He should count himself lucky that she didn’t crush him with her own hands.
“Be on your way young man. Or do you want to stay here and be the laughing stock of the town?”
Elegantly, she turned around and sneakily wiped Xiaoyu’s sleeve with her hand, which was covered with honey.
She grabbed Xiaoyu, who was also a little surprised, and quickly disappeared before everyone’s eyes.
They paced until the crowd behind them disappeared. Then they slowed down. She pulled Xiaoyu into an alley, then leaned against the wall and rested for a while.
“Say, who was that blockhead? Why didn’t you retaliate?”
She poked Xiaoyu’s forehead in disappointment. She wondered what this kid had been eating. In just half a year since they last met, he had grown taller than her.
Physically, he might have grown taller, but mentally, he had shrunk. He didn’t even have the guts to cuss back at that youthful fool.
If anyone dared to insult her like that, she would definitely not get angry, but pay him back in kind and then some.
Although Xiaoyu’s method of dealing with adversity was to just ignore them, it was far from making others angry.
Besides, Xiaoyu shouldn’t be such a coward. He was worse now than when he was with her.
“I’m used to it. His name is Dongfang Jue. He’s a cousin of mine. But he supports my fourth brother and so everyday, he verbally abuses me. I can’t be bothered to retort. He is always the one that ends up stomping his feet in anger anyways.”
