Chapter 40 Teasing
Chapter 40 Teasing
A-Li looked down and saw that Zi-tide, who should have been asleep, was awake and drooling as she looked at him.
"I almost forgot, you're quite the little foodie."
"Master~" Zi tide stuck out her tongue shyly.
"Eat up, eat up, but keep it quiet, don't let anyone find out," Ali whispered a warning.
"Master is the best." After saying that, Zi tide transformed into a small snake about ten centimeters long and quickly slithered across the table. In no time, most of the dishes on the table were gone.
I have no idea how these dishes, each longer than her, ended up in her stomach.
"Hey, I haven't even started eating yet!" Ali shouted in a low voice, not caring about anything else, and hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and wolfed down her food.
If we don't eat now, it will all end up in Zi tide's stomach.
If anyone noticed this, they would surely be amazed by Ali's ravenous eating habits.
The wind swept away the clouds.
As the two were arguing over the food, it was all gone from the table.
"Hiccup~ Master, I'm going back to sleep." After saying that, Zi tide turned into a wisp of red light, transforming back into a red jade bracelet that wrapped around Ali's wrist, and no matter how much Ali called out to her, she no longer responded.
"Heh, what a little foodie!" Ali laughed in exasperation; she hadn't even had a few proper bites yet!
If it weren't for the plates on the table that were even cleaner than if they had been washed, she would have really wondered if Zi tide's awakening was just a hallucination.
She stared blankly at the red jade bracelet. What? Did she need an extra meal in the middle of her slumber, and then continue sleeping after finishing?
Just then, three people entered through the main gate. The one in the middle looked to be around 20 years old. Although he was dressed in casual clothes, his air of nobility was undeniable. For some reason, the man noticed Ali, who was looking down, on the verge of tears.
Hey, why is this girl looking down the moment she sees me? Has she been captivated by my irresistible charm?
He went straight to Ali's table and sat down opposite her.
Ali was surprised that someone would come over and looked at him with a look of astonishment.
The man was extremely pleased with himself. He was indeed captivated by my charisma.
The woman's eyes were still filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful that it broke my heart.
Thinking this, the man subconsciously reached out to touch Ali's face.
Seeing the man's smirking face, Ali immediately understood and coldly uttered a single word:
"roll!"
"Oh, that's pretty fierce. I... I like this kind of thing." With that, the man stretched out his greasy pig's hand again.
"Slap!" An uncle who could tolerate it could not tolerate it any longer, and Ali immediately slapped him.
Are you trying to flirt with your auntie?
Upon seeing this, the two men behind the man immediately surrounded Ali, but they could not make a move without their master's permission.
They were just guards.
People dining in the main hall of Manxianglou Restaurant immediately retreated to a safe position and began to watch the gossip.
This kind of gossip is especially delicious.
The man was clearly enraged. He was the third prince, the empress's son, and had only ever flattered others since childhood. He had never been treated like this before, and he was about to slap Ali.
Ali caught his arm.
"Apologize to me!"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you ask this prince to apologize to you?" As he spoke, he unleashed his full power, trying to intimidate Ali.
However, Ah Li was a person from two lifetimes, and her mental strength was stronger than that of ordinary people, so this pressure had no effect on Ah Li at all, and she did not forget to mock her.
"Oh, a prince? Which prince would dare to harass a commoner in public? I don't know where you got the guts! You dare to impersonate a prince and tarnish the royal family's reputation! Aren't you afraid the emperor will find out?" Regardless of whether it was true or not, she was determined to insist that the other party was an imposter.
Anyone who dares to disrespect the royal family will have their entire family executed.
It's not uncommon for princes to harass common women; they just don't talk about it openly. But Ah Li said this in the hope that the other party wouldn't acknowledge that he was a prince.
After all, the emperor had not yet appointed a crown prince, and no prince wanted to be disliked by the emperor.
Unfortunately, Ali's plan was clearly flawed. This prince was arrogant and disdainful, saying, "Father would never make things difficult for a lowly commoner like you. Besides, how could I allow this matter to reach Father's ears?"
Hmm? He seems to be a prince with some brains, but not many.
Ah Li's thoughts were interpreted as mockery by the Third Prince, who felt challenged and became even more enraged.
"Arrest him!"
Upon hearing this, the two guards immediately attacked Ali, but unfortunately, they were no match for him.
Ah Li only needed to unleash a burst of spiritual energy to knock the two of them to the ground. Feeling extremely humiliated, they quickly got up and pounced on Ah Li again.
"Useless!" He was truly embarrassing himself. Helpless, the Third Prince had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and slap Ali with his palm.
Just as Ali was pushing away the two guards, she turned around and saw the Third Prince's palm strike. Unable to dodge in time, she had no choice but to take it head-on!
Ali was already a master of the Golden Core stage and had just formed a contract with Medusa, making her a rising star among the younger generation in the capital. However, her opponent was clearly more powerful, and Ali had no practical combat experience. After taking a blow from the Third Prince, she immediately felt a metallic taste in her throat. Although she forcibly suppressed it, her unsteady steps betrayed her condition. Seeing this, the Third Prince attacked again, taking the opportunity to throw out the Binding Spirit Rope, rendering Ali unable to use her spiritual power.
I finally won over Ali.
He had two guards hold Ali up and slapped her repeatedly, causing her cheeks to swell up and blood to flow from the corners of her mouth.
The third prince lifted her face, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain: "Look at you, so capable. Who do you think you are?"
"You're not exactly good-looking, yet you think I, the prince, would even be interested in you?"
"What is your status? It's your good fortune to be favored by this prince!"
Ali looked disgusted, but with her hands bound, she couldn't resist. All she could do was spit at him and say, "Pah!"
This enraged the prince, who completely lost his temper and kicked Ali in the stomach, yelling, "You bitch!"
Ali bumped into three or four tables before finally stopping. She tried to stand up, but found that all her bones felt like they were about to fall apart, and the pain was unbearable.
Some of the onlookers became agitated. One of them approached the Third Prince to try and dissuade him, but was instead pushed to the ground, his head hitting the corner of the table before he fell unconscious. Others who had tried to help were also beaten.
After that, no one dared to step forward.
At this moment, Ali was pondering. The system wouldn't activate; what should she use to protect herself? The wine bottle she could easily reach? A loud, desperate shout to stop it? Her angry yet powerless hands? Or…
The Third Prince clearly had no intention of letting her off so easily. He rushed up and started punching and kicking her again, even throwing whatever he could find at her.
The girl on the ground, who didn't even have the strength to stand up, with blood splattered all over the Third Prince's chest, was in pain, yet she was still enduring even more brutal beatings.
Until the third prince got tired and stopped.
Do you think this is over?
The third prince sat at the table, panting heavily, clearly exhausted from the strenuous exercise. He sneered, "Go up there and beat her to death!"
