Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1512 - 1492: Heaven Chosen Pearl, Once Again
"Let’s not talk about that for now; I have a small question," Qhianqhian continued. If it weren’t for the dim light in the room, one could clearly see the blush on Luo Qianqian’s face.
"What is it?" Everyone looked at her.
After a moment of silence, Luo Qianqian lowered her voice and said, "Does your master’s potion have any side effects?"
"Side effects? Of course, it does..." Mo replied, suddenly understanding, but with a hint of confusion on his face. "But, it’s completely different from the side effects of the Talent Potion."
The side effect of the Destiny Potion is that it places a burden on the body, causing one to sleep for a period, ranging from several shichen to a few days.
However, this Talent Potion obviously accelerates the development of those children, making them mature both physically and mentally after consumption.
In a sense, it has the potential of a rather evil potion.
Thinking of those beauties who dazzled others, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but shake her head repeatedly, sighing. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"What’s wrong? Why so sentimental?" Huangfu Yihui and Yann Yao were both very curious, not understanding the riddle these three were speaking in.
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Qianqian looked at the two and slowly said, "The royal family really is a gathering place for beauties. All kinds of beauties, even as a girl, I can’t help but drool. As princes, are you not moved?"
"The person we’ve interacted with the most so far is you. What do you think?" Yann Yao rolled his eyes, looking speechless.
The women in the Imperial Palace, from top to bottom, without exception, are beyond their reach.
Those with blood ties are all siblings, and they naturally wouldn’t entertain any thoughts.
Others, whether they are palace maids or those marked by the Southern Li Emperor, were taught from the beginning that cultivators should not value love, and their politically inclined brothers must propagate, taking a completely different path.
However, whether it’s the cultivator princes or the politically inclined ones, they all know that in the future battle for imperial power, the victors live, and the defeated perish.
The victors and their supporters will continue to evolve into the new royal family; even the families’ children will become the defeated underlings.
Huangfu Yihui nodded too, "Besides you guys, the only interactions I’ve had are with strangers who wanted to flirt outside. But naturally, at those times, attendants helped resolve it for me." With a casual air, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but roll her eyes dramatically.
Of course, the two princes have attendants following them everywhere. Apart from their attendants all being male, there’s really nothing for them to worry about, right?
Rolling her eyes twice, under Huangfu Yihui’s helpless gaze, Luo Qianqian then posed a question that left all four of them stiff, "So, don’t you guys have a lot of affection for same-sex?"
"Why is your curiosity so rampant?" Mo’s cheeks twitched slightly as he spoke, seemingly flabbergasted. "Besides cultivating, where do cultivators find time to entertain those thoughts? If one is filled with frivolous thoughts, there’s no way they’ll become strong."
"Does that mean you never dressed yourselves before? Did you need assistance with everything?" Luo Qianqian looked at Huangfu Yihui, puzzled. If they don’t even have time for random thoughts, wouldn’t they not have time for other things either?
Does that mean they need others to feed them, bathe them, or even help them with the restroom? Can that even be done for them?
"Keep your thinking in check; we take care of ourselves, okay? Cultivators lead simple and austere lives. How could we need others to handle everything?" Huangfu Yihui sighed lightly and continued, "According to your reasoning, have we become complete idiots who only know cultivation and nothing else?"
Indeed, that’s what it seemed like, although after these days of interaction, it’s clear that’s not the case.
"By the way, let me tell you something amusing," Mo suddenly laughed mischievously. "Guess what I saw today?"
"... Too wide a range, not guessing."
"Hurry and say it."
"The Crystal Ball that Shiqi was using to trick Gold Scale City’s Jin Family before," Mo chuckled, looking utterly speechless. "You guys have no idea how much I wanted to laugh when that noble bragged to me."
"Noble? Did Gold Scale City also come to the competition?" Luo Qianqian was suddenly surprised, then revealed a mischievous smile. "Actually, we could auction off another here in Southern Li; I happen to have a leaf-shaped crystal ball."
"No, it’s a Southern Li noble, apparently a prince of sorts, seemingly quite high-ranking." Mo shook his head and exhibited the same mischievous smile as Luo Qianqian. "I suggest we send it to the auction tomorrow, after the next round, but who will act as the ’Leaf’ family descendant?"
"Tell everyone and ask around tomorrow then; I won’t be going anyway." Luo Qianqian shrugged nonchalantly, patting Mo on the shoulder. "Remember to play a plant later, shout some bids or something. I still need to buy some gifts for grandma, right?"
"Basically, all valuable items in Southern Li are in your hands already." Huangfu Yihui rolled his eyes, noting that the collections delivered to Luo Xiying are no small matter, but even those, no prince would dare to collect, being royal items after all.
"Oh, right..." Luo Qianqian laughed suddenly, winking at the others. "By the way, we also have some shops and lands around here."
"Don’t be ridiculous; anyone with some insight will know what those are, taking them out is like exposing oneself to the royal family," Yann Yao promptly stopped Luo Qianqian’s whimsical thoughts. If not stopped, Luo Qianqian seemed intent on cashing in on these items.
"What a pity," Luo Qianqian shook her head repeatedly, clearly unimpressed by the self-gratifying state of the Southern Li royal family.
Even though properties and real estate can be good investments, having them collecting dust seems quite foolish.
Though it’s free capital gained without any costs on her part.
"Plus, we want to leave something for our mother," Huangfu Yihui said slowly.
Hearing this, Luo Qianqian fell silent immediately.
No matter how filthy the royal family is, as long as there’s a warm place for these two to yearn for, it deserves to be cherished.
After all... disappointment and despair are never beautiful emotions.
"Do you want to go see..." Luo Qianqian suddenly suggested.
In her eyes, mothers weigh heavily, even if seeing them isn’t frequent.
"No."
"Forget it..."
Yet, both rejected simultaneously.
