Chapter 353: Zijing Island 5
Her underlying implication was: was he so bored that his balls were aching?
The Crown Prince was instantly blocked by her, his words stuck in his throat.
He had just received news and had naturally come over to mock Su Luo.
He had originally thought she would be so frightened by the news that her face would lose its color; that way, wouldn't he have gotten his revenge for earlier? But who knew this Stinky Girl's psychological fortitude was actually quite good; her face showed absolutely no emotion whatsoever.
His gaze fell upon Su Luo's tiny wooden bucket, and he was instantly delighted.
“You've been fishing until now and only have one Purple Bauhinia Fish? Don't you find that embarrassing?” Nangong Liujue looked at her with disdain. “Looking across this entire island, if we're talking about who caught the least, that bottom spot belongs to no one but you. How truly embarrassing.”
Looking at the Crown Prince before her who was acting so haughty and domineering, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Su Luo's mind, and a thought instantly formed.
Didn't Nangong Liujue despise her for catching too few Purple Bauhinia Fish? Then… could she use this to swindle some things out of him and make this Crown Prince's heart ache to death?
Having thought of this, Su Luo gave Nangong Liuyun a tug, stopping him as he was slowly standing up.
Because as the Crown Prince continuously provoked Su Luo, Nangong Liuyun's expression was gradually turning dark, and he was prepared to strike at any moment. Su Luo had finally caught this fat sheep of a Crown Prince; she wouldn't let him go so easily.
Su Luo squinted at the Crown Prince with a half-smile, raising an eyebrow with a cold sneer: “You actually despise me for catching too few Purple Bauhinia Fish? Then do you have the guts to have a competition with me! Let's see who catches more Purple Bauhinia Fish within the allotted time!”
How could the Crown Prince have known that Su Luo had already figured out the trick to fishing for Purple Bauhinia Fish? In his eyes, Su Luo had only caught one Purple Bauhinia Fish after all this time, and it was a tiny one at that.
Thus, Su Luo's words were exactly what the Crown Prince wanted. He gave a sinister smile: “Stinky Girl, you have quite some nerve, actually daring to compete with This Prince.”
“What, the Crown Prince who always prides himself on being incomparably brave has turned into a coward now?” Su Luo directly used a provocation tactic.
A mocking sneer curled at the corner of the Crown Prince's mouth: “Stinky Girl, do you know that This Prince has already caught three Purple Bauhinia Fish? You've only caught one, are you sure you want to compete with This Prince?”
“Hmph, a scholar can be killed but not insulted! Do you think I'm afraid of you?” Su Luo's cheeks puffed out with anger, looking like someone acting on impulse and easily fooled.
Nangong Liujue had been criticized quite miserably by Bei Chenying and the others just now, and he wanted to take this chance to win back a round. Su Luo's words suited his intentions perfectly, but he put on a difficult expression: “Hmph, competing with you, wouldn't This Prince be winning unfairly?”
Su Luo secretly felt disdain in her heart.
She was best at reading people's hearts.
She could see clearly that the Crown Prince was happy to death inside, yet he was still putting on an act and making excuses. Who was he trying to fool?
Su Luo didn't cooperate with him at all and simply turned around, not bothering to pay him any attention: “Since that's the case, then there's no need to compete. Please leave, Your Highness.”
The Crown Prince wanted to use the tactic of 'retreating to advance,' and Su Luo used the same tactic back, forcing the Crown Prince into a fluster.
The Crown Prince hadn't expected Su Luo to be so uncooperative. A flash of embarrassment crossed his eyes, but it was mostly fury. He gave a cold hmph: “Since you are bent on seeking death, This Prince will grant your wish. Let's compete!”
Bei Chenying was always one who loved a good scene and especially loved arguing with the Crown Prince. He came walking over slowly, carrying a Purple Bauhinia Fish.
