The Way of Spiritual Journey

Chapter 56, Sleeping with Princess Zhang

He Qizai looked like a defeated rooster, listless, standing there motionless, his gaze even showing signs of fading.

Oh no, could this be a sign of an impending stroke?

Li Lang saw Chunyan nod at him again, and knew it was his turn to deliver the finishing blow.

No, it should be called a booster injection. He needs a heart stimulant injection; we absolutely cannot let the advisor fall ill here.

"Ahem." Li Lang coughed twice, clearing his throat. "Well, there's an old saying that goes, if you want to get by, you have to wear a green hat."

"I don't really agree with that statement because it's not quite accurate. The accurate way to put it is, 'If you want to get by, everyone needs to have a bit of green in their lives.'"

Li Lang spoke eloquently, "The concubine bestowed by the princess has caught the prince's eye. That's alright, I just don't want her anymore, I'll give her to the prince."

As he spoke, Li Lang walked over to He Qizai, gently patted his back, and said softly, "Don't worry, it's not that bad."

"Yes, yes, I'm not worried, it's not that bad." At this moment, He Qizai seemed to have calmed down, nodding repeatedly, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Li Lang. 'This guy is easy to get along with, he's a good person!'

"As the saying goes, all men are brothers under heaven. I have no objection if Your Highness wants my concubine. I have long heard that Princess Jing is exceptionally beautiful, unparalleled in the world, and I have admired her for a long time!"

"I'll personally visit the Princess Consort another day and win her back. I think Prince Jing wouldn't object, would he?" Li Lang asked, his eyes fixed on He Qizai, genuinely waiting for an answer.

As they were speaking, He Qizai was about to nod when he suddenly realized something. He shuddered, abruptly looking up at Li Lang with a shocked expression and disbelief in his eyes. "How dare you? Okay, you might really dare. But how could you think of that? How could you even come up with that idea?"

At this moment, He Qizai was not only shocked, but also inwardly convinced. This move was something that ordinary people, apart from spiritual practitioners, could not do, nor dared to even think about.

Of course, He Qizai wasn't the only one shocked; Chunyan was too.

While Chunyan was shocked, her beautiful eyes were filled with admiration. "This guy is amazing! He can handle any kind of situation so naturally and brilliantly. Is this what a 'scumbag' is all about?"

"If that's the case, I don't think it would be too impolite to Prince Jing, would it?" Li Lang pushed out the last bit of medicine from the heart stimulant, looking sincerely at He Qizai again, as if to say, 'You can always answer that, right?'

"No, it's not rude." He Qizai seemed to have been truly saved by this shot of adrenaline, and nodded in agreement with Li Lang.

"Hmm. Go back and have a good talk with the Prince. I'll be waiting for your news." Li Lang gently patted He Qizai's shoulder, then dismissed him.

Li Lang watched He Qizai's dejected figure disappear through the door, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Lang had transmigrated once, originally only wanting to live a carefree life and extremely unwilling to participate in the power struggles of these wealthy families. Unexpectedly, the struggles still came knocking on his door. "Sigh, the saying 'Once you're in the martial world, you're not in control of your own destiny' truly reveals so much helplessness in this world!"

"Brother, I'm impressed. I don't even admire princesses anymore, I only admire you." At this moment, Chunyan gave a thumbs up and leaned over like a little bird, looking at Li Lang with a face full of admiration.

"No, I can't stand it! I still prefer the way you were when you were a grandma," Li Lang said irritably.

"Hehe, so petty. Open your mind." Chunyan smiled and rolled her eyes, while giving Li Lang's chest a light tap with her little fist.

Li Lang felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but tremble. He looked at Chunyan in astonishment, "Are all women this fickle? One moment she's a tigress descending the mountain, dominating all sides, and the next she's a gentle, affectionate lady?"

"Brother Lang, Brother Lang, it's over, it's over!" At this moment, he ran in, panting, shouting loudly.

"What are you yelling about? Which maid touched your butt again?" Li Lang scolded irritably.

"Hehe, no, today's jade soap is sold out, but the silver notes are all here." Wolong smiled awkwardly, holding up a large handful of silver notes, his face full of excitement.

"Look at you, so naive. Put up the 'sold out' sign. Don't make such a fuss next time." Li Lang took the silver note, appearing calm on the surface, but actually a little excited inside.

At this moment, Fengchu led the Four Heroes of Langshan, followed by Zhu Shi and Wang.

"Everyone's here, and they've all been working hard all day. It's time for He to cook." Li Lang tucked the silver notes into his pocket and turned to look at Chunyan.

Li Lang took the lead, and everyone looked at Chunyan.

"No, why are you all staring at me?" Chunyan was also confused by the situation.

"Didn't the Princess say before she left that she would entrust you with things like washing clothes and cooking from now on?" Li Lang explained when he saw that Chunyan still didn't understand the situation.

"Oh, I see." Everyone looked enlightened upon hearing Li Lang's explanation.

"Bullshit!" Chunyan instantly exploded, pointing at everyone and cursing, "Do you really think I'm your maid? Let me tell you, from today onwards, I represent the Princess here. Open your eyes wide, anyone who doesn't serve me properly, I'll castrate him and send him to the palace."

Chunyan, exasperated, waved her small hand and made a vicious gesture as if to slash with a knife.

Everyone felt a chill in their groin and their legs suddenly clamped together.

"Hmph!" Chunyan snorted coldly and walked out without looking back.

Watching Chunyan's angry retreating figure, Li Lang couldn't help but chuckle. "Little brat, you think you can't be controlled?"

"Let's go to Qingfeng Restaurant and have a meal." Li Lang was already in a good mood, so he waved his hand.

However, when Li Lang waved his hand, everyone remained motionless. His hand was also suspended in mid-air, seemingly stuck and unable to come down.

Because the swallows have returned.

"Give it to me," Chunyan said, gesturing with a serious expression.

"What?" This time it was Li Lang's turn to be dumbfounded.

"What are you pretending to be?" Chunyan said irritably. "Of the 20,000 taels of silver we sold today, 2,000 taels belong to the Princess."

"Oh, I forgot about that. But it wasn't said that it would be settled daily." Li Lang suddenly realized.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?" Chunyan urged impatiently.

"Why rush me? Here you go." Li Lang sighed inwardly. Helpless, he could only take out the silver notes from his pocket, count out two thousand taels, and hand them over.

"Hmph, that's more like it." Chunyan took the silver note, smiled, and then turned and left.

Everyone turned to look at Li Lang, their faces full of doubt. "She really is a grandmother!"
