Depending on My Mood

"You are wrong. As for the Dinghun Pearl, I will definitely return the favor! As for other matters, we can discuss them later!" Dantai Huang sat down, mimicking his leisurely posture. She finally understood that this man had absolutely no concept of "forgiving and forgetting." The more she retreated, the more he pushed! Since that was the case, they might as well go head-to-head. After all, it was just a single life!

These words caused Jun Jinglan's sword-like brows to furrow, and the cinnabar mark between his brows faintly shifted in color. He was somewhat slow to react to how quickly this woman had flipped her attitude. Just a moment ago, she had shown a trace of fear, but now... Could this be her true face? "So, do you mean that if this Crown Prince does not give you the Dinghun Pearl today, you might seek revenge on me in the future?"

"It's not a 'might'! It's a certainty! Just like how Huangfu Xuan stood by and watched without saving me, I will definitely teach him a lesson!" Dantai Huang looked into the distance, a sly smile involuntarily playing on her lips. Her personality had always been to seek vengeance for any grievance. Even if she couldn't win, she wouldn't let them live in peace. No one in this world had ever taken advantage of her and gotten away with it!

As soon as these words were spoken, a look of interest flashed in Jun Jinglan's eyes. Such a personality—exquisite! He just wondered how she would "return the favor" to Huangfu Xuan. This was something he had to watch slowly! Thinking of this, he patiently asked again, "What will it take for you to tell me how you escaped?"

"How about we write off the grudges between us?" Dantai Huang tilted her head, offering her condition.

As soon as she finished speaking, a soft chuckle rang out. The man stroked his chin with his slender fingers, tilted his head to look at her, and said slowly, "That depends on my mood!"

"Oh! Then I'll tell you in a few days!" Dantai Huang ignored his casual yet seductive appearance, turning her head back to look at the palace.

"In a few days?"

She also unhurriedly raised her hand, stroked her chin, mimicked his posture by tilting her head, and parted her red lips to spit out four words: "Depends on my mood!" Did he think he was the only one who knew how to make threats?

"Ha ha ha..." A burst of laughter rang out. The sound wasn't loud, but it spread joy throughout the space. After the Crown Prince finished laughing, he glanced at Dantai Huang. He seemed to want to laugh more, but managed to hold it back. This woman, calculating down to the last penny and refusing to suffer even a minor loss, was truly amusing!

Dantai Huang watched him from the side. His smile was more beautiful than ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains, causing her to daze slightly. Truly a demon!

"Alright! Since you refuse to say, I will guess!" Jun Jinglan sat up straight with his legs crossed, speaking leisurely. "You knew Xiao Xing was arrogant, so you intentionally rummaged through the things in the palace in front of it. It assumed you couldn't escape, so it didn't take you seriously at all, letting you pack up! Next, you asked it to strike a pose, forcing it to turn its back to you so you could have the chance to escape. Am I right?"

"Half right!" Dantai Huang replied. With this man's intelligence, it wasn't surprising he could guess that much!

Jun Jinglan raised an eyebrow and continued, "Of course I know it's only half right. Because when you ran out, there was no commotion, yet Xiao Xing didn't turn around to catch you... The palace was burned down, but under the burnt smell, there was no scent of knockout incense. Furthermore, Xiao Xing's reaction tells me that when you left, it was still completely conscious!"

This was what he couldn't understand.

"Keep guessing slowly. If you guess right, there will be a reward!" Dantai Huang said gently.

Jun Jinglan raised an eyebrow. "What reward?"

"A reward of a Sophie 320 sanitary pad—super elastic, leak-free no matter how you toss and turn!" Dantai Huang said with a straight face, then suddenly turned around with an extremely mischievous expression, grinning as she added, "The latest model even has wings!"

What was that? He had never heard of it. But the more unfamiliar it was, the more there was to look forward to. "Could it be that you intentionally made a lot of noise beforehand to disrupt its hearing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on Dantai Huang's face froze for a moment. He guessed it! That's right, that was exactly what she did. At first, she intentionally rummaged through everything in the room. When Xiao Xing turned around, she was still there, so she claimed she was mesmerized by its handsome pose! That silly beast actually believed her and turned back to keep holding the pose! Then she rummaged through the room again, and when it turned around, she still said she was mesmerized!

Repeating this several times, she even piled all her things near the window! Finally, she successfully utilized the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" logic. The last time, she escaped through the window and set a fire. Xiao Xing stood holding the pose for a long time before realizing the room was on fire and the window was broken, and then...

Seeing her expression, Jun Jinglan chuckled. "I guessed right?" Although it was a question, his tone was completely certain!

Dantai Huang said nothing, feeling a bit depressed in her heart. Communicating with smart people made her feel like everything was seen through by the opponent—she really disliked this feeling.

Just then, a dark shadow flashed like a ghost, landing gently on the roof. Bowing respectfully, the figure spoke, "Master, today you ordered Master Xing to stand in that pose for five days..."

"And then?" the lazy voice rang out.

The hidden guard behind him broke into a cold sweat and said, "Master Xing stood for the entire afternoon, and its waist is sore!"

"..." Dantai Huang's lips twitched. Did that creature, which looked like a cross between a fox and a wolf, even have a waist?

"What did the imperial physician say?" Hmph, a sore waist—that served as a small lesson!

The hidden guard respectfully replied, "The imperial physician has examined it, and there is no cause for concern. But it refuses to apply the medicine, crying while hugging a pillow. It seems it wants you to return in person..." Recalling Master Xing's aggrieved crying face, the hidden guard broke into another sweat, feeling a pang of sympathy in his heart.

That creature actually considered itself this demon's wife, hugging a pillow and crying, insisting he return. Dantai Huang grumbled in her heart!

Jun Jinglan nodded, seemingly accustomed to Xiao Xing's antics. He stood up, glanced at Dantai Huang, and said, "I'll be waiting for you to bring the reward!" With that, he turned and left.

After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something. With a wave of his hand, a faint streak of light flashed, and the purple cloak on his shoulders fell onto Dantai Huang. "The night is very cold!"

With that, he walked straight away, leaving behind an arrogant, domineering, and peerlessly elegant back.

That back looked incredibly captivating and full of character. Dantai Huang stared at his retreating figure for a moment, and a bizarre thought suddenly popped into her head... What would happen if that beauty was ruined? Thinking of this, she shouted at the top of her lungs, completely disregarding her own safety, "Actually, a Sophie sanitary pad is equivalent to a woman's menstrual cloth! When a man uses it, it's called a diaper!" Having said that, she jumped down and ran away as fast as her legs could carry her!

Jun Jinglan's footsteps paused, and the cinnabar mark between his brows slowly changed color. By the time he turned around, that woman had already vanished without a trace!

Giving him a diaper as a reward? Hmm?
