Chapter 36.1: Absolute and Instantaneous Kill
"Tsk, can I still choose to not go? Yu Xiao Ning, it's really a mystery how I came to become friends with you." Yan Ning Luo swept her gaze over her, and then went on to completely disregard her presence, before climbing into the horse carriage.
Yu Xiao Ning was taken aback, before she slyly shot her Third Brother a smug look, her eyes saying: [How? Do you concede?]
Yu Jing Zhuo shrugged his shoulders helplessly. [Fine. Losers weepers. I'll give you that map of the Mountains of Heaven and Earth when we get back.
The two of them exchanged a series of meaningful glances with each other before they then climbed into the horse carriage one after another.
Inside the carriage, Xuanyuan Che and Yan Ning Luo were seated on one side each, neither of them saying a word, a rare moment of quiet and tranquillity between those two.
Yu Jing Zhuo and Yu Xiao Ning looked at each other and they saw surprise in the other person's eyes. [When those two are not trading barbs with their tongues, they are actually rather compatible!]
The New Moon Lake was situated in the central region of the Green Wave Kingdom, a newer and slightly more well known place of interest to travel to, where the water presented itself to be faintly blue with many colourful fishes swimming within, a breathtaking sight.
Many picturesque pleasure boats and other vessels dotted over the lake's surface, pairs of lovebirds and passing merchants, all kinds of people.
When their reached their destination, Yu Jing Zhuo came down from the carriage first, to hold the curtain up to allow the two young ladies to get off.
Yan Ning Luo did not often show herself in public but in the Green Wave Kingdom, there were few people who did not know her.
Hence at the moment she stepped off the carriage, a series of collective gasps immediately sounded all around them. "It's Princess Ning Feng!"
"Ahhh….. ahhh….. it's really her! !"
"Heavens, she's really so beautiful. I did not think that it will be exactly like what the rumours say. She's just like a goddess!"
"She's the greatest beauty of all indeed. Hearing it a hundred times cannot compare to seeing it with your own eyes. That elegant air and grace is absolutely unmatched."
"And also the Left Prime Minister's daughter, Yu Xiao Ning!"
"Yu Xiao Ning is the Green Wave Kingdom's most talented woman, and I had not thought that she would also possess such outstanding looks as well!"
"She's so adorable, and so very pretty. The Capital City's two great beauties have actually come out together today!"
"It is a great day today indeed!"
"The Crown Prince has come here as well? ! !"
"My sweet Heavens! The New Moon Lake is receiving so many great big entities today!"
Yu Jing Zhuo was always gallivanting around outside and everyone knew who he was, so he played just an accessory role here this time, without much people paying all that much attention.
He also had his own private pleasure boat here and he had already arranged for people to have it ready by the shore. When they saw him coming, they immediately came forward in greeting.
"Young Master, everything is ready. This way please." The man gestured respectfully in invitation.
Yu Jing Zhuo walked up front to take the lead as he climbed into the boat, with Xuanyuan Che following right behind. Yu Xiao Ning and Yan Ning Luo were last to board.
The pleasure boat then slowed moved out.
On the boat, there was everything from fine wine to delicious food, entertainers playing zithers on one side, their long slender fingers picking out melodious tunes from their instruments.
"Let's all have a seat!" Yu Jing Zhuo was the host, and he began to show hospitality to his guests, attending to their needs.
It was Yu Xiao Ning's first time here and when she saw the luxurious fittings on the pleasure boat with its exquisite wine cups and jade ornaments, she could not help but to shake her head and say while clicking her tongue: "Third Brother, this pleasure boat of yours is not just commonly luxurious. I don't think you can achieve such ostentatiousness without a few million taels at least!"
"Haha. Ning Ning really knows her stuff. You can tell with just one glance! Unlike some other people, who were actually suspecting that these things are counterfeit." Yu Jing Zhuo said with an easy laugh.
"Tsk….. Did you think I was praising you? Can anyone else be as big a spendthrift as you? If you did not have that little gigolo brothel sustaining your expenditure, you will be thrown out of the house to sleep on the streets sooner or later!" Yu Xiao Ning spat disdainfully, dispensing with all courtesy.
The latter then glared angrily with his eyes widened. "You impudent lass, is this any way to talk to your Elder Brother? No respect at all. If I end up spending all my money, I will then stick myself onto you!"
