Chapter 622: Huo Ningxue’s Scam Punishment
When Sang Zhe returned to the Sang residence early in the morning, he originally planned to find Zhang Xiaoying, but discovered that Bai Ming was also in Zhang Xiaoying’s room.
The two of them seemed to have whispered all night and were fast asleep, completely unaware of Sang Zhe’s arrival.
Sang Zhe didn’t wake them up; instead, he turned around to call Aunt Yu to make some food.
Just as he was about to reach Aunt Yu’s room, he saw the three little troublemakers waiting at the door.
“…? You three are up so early?”
Hua Jianglian, Si Jingzhu, and Long Huan exchanged glances before they all bowed their heads deeply.
“Sorry.”
Sang Zhe: “?”
“We’ve been too willful and demanding lately.”
“We didn’t expect that you would be so scared you’d run away from home.”
“Under the guidance of Sister Xiaoying, we’ve deeply recognized our mistakes and have strictly arranged a schedule for everyone that prohibits forced cutesy demands for your company during non-scheduled times.”
“Please forgive us.” They all bowed deeply at the same time.
Sang Zhe: “…”
First of all, it was clear that Xiaoying didn’t teach them this.
Because those words didn’t sound like something Xiaoying would say. Even if she did, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to let them pin the blame on her.
Clearly, someone was behind the scenes creating chaos and trying to make Xiaoying take the fall.
Sang Zhe thought for a moment and quickly figured out who the puppeteer was.
“Let me see what your schedule looks like.”
Long Huan obediently handed over a piece of paper, which seriously detailed every day each woman could spend with Sang Zhe.
“…So, on average, each of you can only sleep with me once a month?”
Sang Zhe was both amused and exasperated. “You can accept this kind of schedule? You’re too good-natured.”
The three girls exchanged glances, and Hua Jianglian couldn’t help but mumble, “It’s because you suddenly ran away from home… you scared us.”
“It made us wonder if we really have been too willful, not caring about your feelings at all. We’ve been feeling guilty ever since you left…”
Sang Zhe chuckled as he walked over and suddenly picked her up, lifting her off the ground and into his embrace.
“I’m telling you, Sect Leader. When you made me work overtime back in the day, I didn’t see you being this easygoing.”
“That’s, that’s different,” Hua Jianglian’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she struggled a bit.
“Then on this schedule, it says we only get half an hour at Sword Flower Palace each month, while it takes ten days to go to the Holy Kingdom. Don’t you find that strange?”
Long Huan tilted her head. “They say the Holy Kingdom is far away, and entering Tianlang City has complicated procedures. The round trip takes about ten days.”
Sang Zhe: “…You believe that?”
“I can’t help it! I’ve never been to the Holy Kingdom. I’ve only heard about it from my father a few times,” Long Huan shrugged helplessly.
“And the Empress says she has great stamina, unlike us weaklings. You always take several nights to satisfy her, so of course she needs to enjoy herself a few more days.”
Si Jingzhu also chimed in gloomily, “But does such a person really exist? Why can’t I even last half an hour?”
…It’s not that such a person doesn’t exist.
But it definitely isn’t Huo Ningxue.
She’s a ditzy beauty with an IQ at the level of an oblivious farm boy, who hasn’t even learned basic hygiene.
Sang Zhe was so amused, he turned to ask, “Where’s Huo Ningxue? Has she come? Get her out here to see me.”
As he turned, a head quickly withdrew behind a folding screen in the distant corridor.
Sang Zhe: “…”
Sometimes, Sang Zhe felt quite helpless towards this Empress.
In front of others, she could maintain a calm demeanor and act high and mighty.
But when it came to him, her maturity barely matched that of Little Ying You and Little Lonely.
“So, Your Majesty.”
Sang Zhe pulled Huo Ningxue out from behind the screen by her collar, looking at her with a speechless expression. “Why are you back here causing trouble again?”
“I-I’m not causing trouble.”
Huo Ningxue looked like a cat caught by a dog, sulking but stubbornly insisting, “I’m just telling the truth.”
“I am the Son of Heaven from the Holy Kingdom! I should monopolize Sangfei for ten days a month; what’s unfair about that?”
Sang Zhe couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you know what it means to monopolize me for ten days?”
“To be honest, no one at home dares to monopolize me for ten days!”
Except for Xu Hongyi, that pure human vacuum cleaner.
Most of the time, even Zhang Xiaoying and the others wouldn’t be bold enough to take me on alone—they would team up instead.
Let’s not even talk about doing that for consecutive ten days.
All this just showed that Huo Ningxue’s statement was filled with a naive purity never experienced.
“What’s funniest is that you three actually believed it,” Sang Zhe turned to look at the three little troublemakers again.
The three girls simultaneously felt guilty and lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact.
“W-Where did I say anything wrong?”
Only Huo Ningxue was still being stubborn. She huffed, “Last time, I spoiled Sangfei so much that she begged for mercy, so why can’t I admit that today?”
The three girls widened their eyes at Sang Zhe in unison.
Evidently, the idea that Sang Zhe would beg for mercy in bed far surpassed their imaginations.
“Hey, how dare you provoke me?”
Sang Zhe was never one to tolerate such insults.
He rolled up his sleeves and glared. “Is it that I’ve been too gentle with you, or is this your rebellious phase?”
“I tried to take care of you back when you knew nothing, thinking I’d cherish you. But now you really think you’re invincible?”
…The only person who could genuinely scare Sang Zhe so far was Xu Hongyi.
And regarding Xu Hongyi, that’s exactly what Sang Zhe wished to forget these past few days.
Huo Ningxue had really stepped right into the trap.
“Today, this Master will make sure to give you a thorough lesson on basic hygiene knowledge!”
Saying that, he hoisted Huo Ningxue without a second thought, dragging her as she blushed and panicked, into the room.
“Eh!? S-Sangfei, there’s no need to rush, it’s still daytime! It’s inappropriate in broad daylight—”
“Eh? Ah? W-What is this for?”
“W-Wait—what are you doing? Why didn’t anyone tell me?”
“Ooh wow!! Th-This isn’t right! Sangfei is doing it wrong! Stop it, boohoo.”
“Somebody! Please come help! Sangfei is trying to murder me!!”
At first, the three little troublemakers were eagerly pressing their ears against the door, curious about who was lying.
But soon, with Huo Ningxue’s loud wails and the guards’ cries for help, they sighed in unison.
“…Sigh, this is just like us.”
“Turns out she really was bragging.”
“We actually believed it.”
“Looks like we need to strengthen our anti-fraud awareness.”
The trio let out long sighs and realizing it would take a while for things in there to wrap up, they decided to team up again and played “Original Immortal.”
