Chapter 4107 Little Bai Zhi's Handsome Look Lasts Only Three Seconds
When the Imperial Princess goes out, the streets are naturally deserted as everyone flocks to see her.
Therefore, Lucia can only travel incognito and discreetly, and does not need many guards. She is one of the strongest members of the royal family... If someone can get close to her, no matter how many guards there are, it is useless.
The exact location of Li Wei's booth in the exhibition hall has already been determined.
Even through the implicit connection of the royal crest, Lucia easily sensed Bai Zhi's presence.
We arrived at the stall.
"Welcome... Oh, who are you?"
Seeing someone arrive, Brother Shaq quickly went up to greet them—as a tool, his task today was simply to be a regular salesman.
Actually, this was alright. Later on, he even had to wear a specially made Buu costume to promote the exhibition and attract customers.
But when Brother Shaq saw what the person who came to his door looked like, he was stunned on the spot—although he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, upon closer inspection, he could still see some clues.
Oh my god, this girl looks so much like Bai Zhi's sister-in-law...
Oh, she looks much more mature, the kind that's ripe—and suddenly he felt that Bai Zhi's sister-in-law wasn't so appealing anymore.
"Uncle Shaq, I'll take care of it!"
I had just thought of Angelica dahurica when it arrived.
Brother Shaq glanced at her, then at the mature version... and said nothing, nodding before walking away without a word.
……
It would be a lie to say Bai Zhi wasn't nervous that the Eldest Princess would appear at this time.
After all, last time, the eldest princess expressed her desire to take her away from her master... This is what Bai Zhi is most worried about.
Fortunately, the master did not contact Lucia during this time.
But Bai Zhi remained worried that Lucia would reappear. Sure enough, what she feared most came to pass... Aunt Flo came knocking on her door again.
"...Why are you here?" Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and asked.
"You just appear in public like this, so brazenly?" Lucia frowned.
Bai Zhi disliked the other party's stubbornness to begin with, and upon hearing this, she clenched her fist, becoming unusually defiant, and retorted, "Aren't you the same? Why can you do it, but I can't?"
"Hmm?" Lucia's gaze narrowed slightly.
Bai Zhi's eyes immediately darted away, not daring to look directly at him, and she said in a soft, sweet voice, "I... I've been in the stall the whole time, I don't come out much... who would notice me?"
She knew that her appearance would always cause trouble, especially her signature royal green hair. On a whim, she took out a white lace eye mask and put it on.
This was something Li Guo had given her as a cover during the last banquet at the [Babilon] Manor, and she hadn't taken it back afterward.
Seeing that Bai Zhi made some adjustments on the spot, Lucia's gaze softened.
"Bai Zhi? What happened?" Long Xiruo's voice had barely reached her lips when she appeared beside Bai Zhi, her expression a mixture of scrutiny and surprise. "Who is she?"
Bai Zhi had no choice but to quickly stand on tiptoe and explain Lucia's identity to Long Xiruo.
“Miss Long, I can handle this myself, don’t worry.”
Long Xiruo nodded, looking at the imperial princess who was as proud as a phoenix and gave off an oppressive feeling, and said indifferently, "Speak if you have something to say. Although your master may have run off to have some fun somewhere, at least I am here."
Bai Zhi served Long Xiruo with utmost care and attentiveness, making her feel comfortable. She genuinely liked the girl and naturally felt protective of her.
Of course, she might not be needed for this.
"No, it's okay, I can do it," Bai Zhi said, mustering her courage.
……
Shenzhou's True Dragon gave Lucia a slightly warning look before returning to the stall's rest area.
The transformation potion that Titus is known for is not a popular product at this exhibition, and the booth is currently deserted.
However, this wasn't really to promote the transformation serum; it was just a show, and nobody cared.
Lucia also ignored the warning look in Long Xiruo's eyes before she left.
"Is she also Li Wei's servant?" the princess asked casually.
"No, Miss Long is the master's... uh? I should say his girlfriend, right?" Bai Zhi gave a general overview of Miss Long's position.
It seems that only a girlfriend would be suitable.
"Still calling him master?" Lucia's gaze darkened. "Tell him to come see me! Does he think he can act with impunity just because he's latched onto Li Guo?"
Auntie, please stop using your magic!
—That was Miss Long just now. If it were Miss Yuya, you… might already be in trouble.
"Master isn't here right now." Bai Zhi felt a chill run down her spine and quickly grabbed Lucia's arm. Her voice was soft, yet so firm. "Come with me first, don't stay here!"
This action instantly triggered the guards who were hiding around the princess to move as if on cue, but they were stopped by a single look from Lucia.
She waved her hand, signaling the guards to remain hidden.
She glanced indifferently at Bai Zhi's hand that was holding hers. How could Bai Zhi grab her so easily without her permission?
The two arrived at a meeting room provided by the venue.
At this moment, Princess Lucia sat down directly, crossed her long legs, and hugged her arms tightly, naturally exuding an aura of power.
Bai Zhi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Lucia suddenly said, "Do you know that Raphael is already in the royal court?"
Bai Zhi was taken aback upon hearing this.
Lucia said calmly, "I've already met her."
Bai Zhi nodded, thought for a moment, then tilted her head, "And then?"
Lucia frowned slightly, raising her voice a little higher, "Don't you have any other thoughts?"
Bai Zhi shook her head. "I am me, and she is her. From the moment I was rescued by my master, we had nothing to do with each other."
Lucia clearly disagreed, sneering, "It doesn't matter? Your bloodline is fake? Your memories of Raphael are fake? And your royal crest, is that fake too?"
Bai Zhi remained silent.
Lucia's voice softened slightly, "This [Levi Titus] is no ordinary person. He knows your background, and that [Shaki]... Someone like that could never be from a small divine family on the [magical side]. Tell me, what exactly is his purpose? Why did he deliberately contact Li Guo?"
"It wasn't intentional, she came to me herself!" Bai Zhi blurted out. "She didn't care whether the other person wanted it or not, she just came up and wanted to take them away. We've only known each other for a few hours, and she's already bringing them home. She has no self-respect at all, she looks like a bad woman!"
Lucia frowned. "What's going on? Has Li Guo really taken a liking to this [Li Wei]?"
Despite her reluctance to admit it, Bai Zhi, having watched thousands of melodramatic prime-time dramas, angrily exclaimed, "Their master doesn't even want her!"
"You like him?" Lucia saw right through her.
Bai Zhi blushed slightly.
Do you think that people who are close to your master would dislike you?
But this liking doesn't seem like the liking between ordinary men and women.
Bai Zhi's inner thoughts reveal a deep sense of dependence, much like the dependence of the newly nurtured "White Wolf Dragon" cub on its own family.
She said softly, "You don't understand. It's not something that can be simply described as 'liking'."
Lucia remained silent, how could she not see Bai Zhi's true feelings?
But this can only be seen as a naive hope for a ray of light to save one's life.
As Raphael's clone used to correct genetic defects, Bai Zhi's fate was destined to be tragic from the moment of her birth. She never mentioned it, but how could Lucia not have considered how many experiments [September] had conducted on Bai Zhi in order to save Raphael?
She was sealed away, used as an experimental subject, and then sealed away again after being used up, in an endless cycle; she was merely a tool and a consumable.
That person gave her a new life, and freedom... and perhaps even love?
This kind of play is too unfair; it's like having a mental brand imprinted on someone.
Putting myself in their shoes, I probably wouldn't be able to escape either... unless I was ruthlessly abandoned, betrayed, and completely lost all hope.
Lucia felt a sense of helplessness.
Raphael was still confident that she could correct the situation. After all, the child still harbored thoughts of revenge. Even if he didn't trust her at the moment, he would eventually have to be bound to her. She could take things slowly.
Bai Zhi had absolutely no reason to seek revenge. As a clone, she didn't need to inherit hatred... Perhaps in her heart, she hated [September] more.
The two looked at each other.
Bai Zhi gradually became more determined after initially avoiding the situation, although she still seemed to be struggling. Like a wolf cub facing a wolf king who had long held power, she was all bark and no bite, and would break easily.
At this moment, Lucia couldn't help but feel a little dazed, as if she were seeing that figure that had long since vanished into the past.
—Otina, is that you…?
It was as if I could hear that distant voice, one that held a certain resolve.
"Sister, no matter what, I will stay with Atesliya."
"Sister, will you support me?"
Lucia's thoughts were in turmoil, even more so than when she met Raphael yesterday... She knew perfectly well that Raphael was the real child.
She sighed, thought for a moment, and then said, "We can put aside the question of whether you stay or leave for now."
Bai Zhi's expression immediately softened.
Lucia said calmly, "But that doesn't mean I'll give up on you. No matter what form your community with Raphael takes, just the fact that you can awaken the royal crest makes me absolutely unwilling to allow you to be a servant."
"Even if others want to be one, Miss Youye might not give it to them..." Bai Zhi muttered softly.
“What did you say?” Lucia raised her voice.
"It's nothing..." Bai Zhi quickly shook her head, her courage just now like a mirage, now all that remained was her weakness.
Lucia glared at Bai Zhi and suddenly asked, "You've seen Li Guo?"
Bai Zhi nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "She doesn't know about my affairs, but she asked, but the master didn't tell her. As for her... that woman, she didn't ask anymore."
"You dislike her very much?" the princess asked abruptly.
"I don't like it!" Bai Zhi said without hesitation.
“I don’t like it either,” Lucia said calmly, making no attempt to hide her disgust. “She’ll ruin herself.”
Bai Zhi had no intention of getting involved in the power struggles within the Abrier royal family; such matters were far too troublesome for her simple interpersonal relationships.
...Just follow your master and serve him, without any worries, isn't that wonderful?
“I’ll wait here.” Lucia sighed again and said calmly, “Go and call that [Levi] over. I have something to say to him alone. It’s been a while, and it’s time to meet him.”
Bai Zhi's eyes widened immediately, but she didn't move an inch.
"Aren't you going yet?" Lucia frowned immediately.
Bai Zhi forced herself to say, "How about... you come with me? We can have the master come see you or something..."
"How dare you!"
Anger blazed in the princess's eyes, and her mental pressure instantly surged forth like a tidal wave!
Bai Zhi was startled, feeling like a bamboo raft in a storm, about to capsize at any moment... But just then, another powerful storm appeared without warning!
It was equally violent and savage, even carrying a hint of madness and destruction.
Two terrifying mental storms collided instantly, locked in a fierce battle, neither giving way...
A good ten seconds passed before Bai Zhi could no longer hold on. She covered her head and let out a soft groan, slightly pained.
Lucia frowned, then deliberately withdrew her mental pressure. Her gaze then coldly passed over Bai Zhi and looked toward the door of the meeting room.
The door opened.
Standing at 1.9 meters tall, or nearly 2 meters in heels, the perfectly proportioned Princess Anle walked in slowly with a faint smile on her face.
"I could sense that familiar mental pressure from not far away." Li Guo chuckled. "I wonder which fool has angered you, Lucia... Aunt."
Lucia showed Li Guo no kindness whatsoever, and said expressionlessly, "Why are you here?"
Li Guo strode over to Princess Lucia and sat down directly next to Bai Zhi.
The two faced each other, and even though both had withdrawn their mental pressure, there still seemed to be something more dangerous colliding in the air.
Bai Zhi's back was already a little damp. Her legs were together, and her hands were pressed tightly on her knees, clutching her skirt.
Weak.
Powerless.
Fear……
Li Guo smiled calmly and said, "Today is the day my boyfriend is attending the exhibition. I'm here to show my support. Is that surprising? But Aunt, it seems you have some issues with my boyfriend's little maid?"
Lucia narrowed her eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Baizhi quickly said, "You two chat, I'll go out first..."
He stood up as he spoke, intending to withdraw from the battlefield.
"sit down!"
"Did I let you go?"
Lucia*Li Guo.
Bai Zhi immediately let out a "squeak," and her little bottom had just left the cushion when she instantly sat back down, continuing to put her feet together and clutching her trembling knees.
Weak.
Powerless.
Fear……
How scary...
Who am I? Where am I? I...
Despite having worked hard on special training these past few days, Bai Zhi felt a pang of frustration as she looked at the two towering figures beside her.
