Chapter 585 - Like A Duck

Chapter 585 - Like A Duck

Longyuan was absolutely smug as he watched Little White Flower's tears rolled down her cheeks, and slapped her with the snake more rapidly.
"Hahaha… cry louder!"
"Sob…" Little White Flower cried even louder.
The handmaidens and guardsmen all looked upon her with sympathy… it was indeed lamentable that such a beautiful flower would be bullied to such extent!
Once Longyuan had enough fun, he threw the snake into the water and poked Little White Flower with his index finger firmly and instructed, "You better not tell my mother, or I have all the ways I need to get back at you. Got it?"
"Sob…" Little White Flower simply cried innocently, wiping away the tears from her eyes.
Longyuan poked her forehead again and snapped angrily, "I'm asking you a question here—answer me!"
"Sob… I, I got it!" Little White Flower exclaimed, choking through her tears.
Longyuan grinned contentedly and stood up to leave with his handmaidens and guardsmen.
In the hot spring, a colorful snake swam to Little White Flower and spoke in snake language then, "Little White Flower, please see us off. You won't be threatened by that crown prince that way!"
Little White Flower stopped crying and reached into the water, and the snake swam to her pale hands.
She gulped despite her tears, "B-But…'
"We're old enough, Little White Flower! We won't freeze to death!"
"Yes. The climate is getting warmer by the day, and we will survive even if we stay in the lake."
"Send us off, Little White Flower. You could come to the lake to visit us anytime you want."
"Sob… Okay! I'll visit often!"
Little White Flower started to cry again, sobbing miserably as she picked up a vase to carry the dozen snakes off to a natural lake.
Reluctantly, she poured them into the water.

Meanwhile, Longyuan had headed straight to the Dark Moon Palace after leaving Little White Flower's chambers.
He might be tiny, but every eunuch and handmaiden greet him when they saw him.
He acted even more high and mighty at that, clasping his hands behind his back and rearing his head skywards, putting on a lot of airs.
Many of the eunuchs and handmaidens held their hands over their mouths to hide their laughter when they passed him.
How cute!
As Longyuan strode into the Dark Moon Palace, Han Moze and Liu Rushuang shared a look beside the table, gaping.
"Do you know how you're walking, Longyuan?" Han Moze could not help snapping at him—the kid was simply out of line.
Nonetheless, Longyuan clasped his hands behind his back and reared his head even higher, saying innocently, "But I feel this way of walking is cool!"
Unable to hold it in any longer, Liu Rushuang turned around to hide her laughter.
Why was this brat so funny?
Han Moze almost broke into a laugh as well, but he clenched his hands and stood up. Striding up to Longyuan, he grabbed the child by the collar and held him close to his nose, barking, "I'm going to hit you if you walk like a duck again!"
Longuyan's adorable brows drooped and he battled his round eyes as he retorted, "Should I walk like Mother then, father? I'll put both my hands in my front end, is that alright?"
Han Moze cleared his throat to hide his laugh, before shooting the child a determined look. "That's even less acceptable!"
"Hahaha…" Beside the table, Liu Rushuang could not hold back her laughter already.
