Chapter 293: The Mad Old Woman (10th Update)
Ruth looked at Ye Ling sound asleep on the bed and was completely speechless.
What exactly had he done to that old woman Florosa? Extra-strength itching powder, what was that all about?
You should know, Ruth had just heard Florosa's crazed screaming and almost threw her phone away. That old woman seemed to be really angry now.
An hour later, Ye Ling woke up, rubbing his messy hair, and sat up. Ruth had already dressed up, her light makeup highlighting her graceful beauty even more.
"You're awake. I've arranged for the chef to make you breakfast," Ruth said as she sat down on the bed and gently kissed Ye Ling.
Ye Ling took a good sniff, "Mmm, not bad, smells great, truly wonderful."
Ruth rolled her eyes at Ye Ling, her cheeks flushing with shyness as she remembered the craziness of the previous night.
"By the way, what did you do to that old woman Florosa? What is this itching powder you mentioned, and where did you put it? How did it drive that old woman so crazy?"
Ruth was very puzzled, but after listening to her, Ye Ling chuckled and began to explain the itching powder that caused unbearable itching once it touched the skin and couldn't be relieved no matter what.
"Where did you put it!" Ruth glared, completely incredulous. This guy was actually using such dirty tricks. You're a powerful person; shouldn't you have more dignity?
Ye Ling snickered, "Didn't put it anywhere specific, just in the underwear, heh. I reckon that old woman must be going insane by now."
"Alright, you're invincible. I bet that old woman will go crazy looking for you. Believe me, I swear in the name of God, she won't let you off."
Ruth couldn't help but feel a chill thinking about it. Damn bastard, he actually put the itching powder in that place. This was practically a death sentence for Florosa; she couldn't even imagine it.
Too vicious, just too vicious. Ye Ling's move had nearly cost Florosa half her life.
"Psh, as if she could scare me," Ye Ling said dismissively. That hateful old woman, of course, Ye Ling had to find every way to get back at her, to show her who's boss.
The door opened, and Ai Lu came in. Seeing Ye Ling shirtless, she yelled in shock, her cheeks turning red as she hurriedly covered her eyes and shouted, "Put your clothes on, quickly!"
Ye Ling chuckled, "Tsk, why so shy? You're already my woman, and besides, I'm still in my underwear. What are you making such a fuss about?"
"Put them on now! Quick!" Ai Lu roared, stamping her feet in protest.
Ye Ling pouted and wrapped a small towel around his waist, then walked towards Ai Lu.
Continue your journey with empire
"Okay, okay, open your eyes. Look at you, so pathetic," Ye Ling said with a chuckle.
Ai Lu opened her eyes and, seeing Ye Ling wrapped in a towel, let out a sigh of relief. But suddenly, Ye Ling trapped her against the wall, his arms bracing against it.
"Babe, do I look strong and heroic? Don't I look like a valiant horseman?" Ye Ling teased with a light laugh, his face almost touching Ai Lu's.
Ai Lu's face immediately turned beet red, her nose filled with the scent of a man, making her incredibly nervous.
Thump, thump, thump; Ai Lu could almost hear her own heartbeat, her face blushing, "Step aside now! Otherwise, I'll have to strike back!"
"Tsk, why so violent? You're going to be the next Clan Leader of the Ross Clan. The future Queen of the Ross Clan can't be so violent," he teased.
As he spoke, Ye Ling snickered mischievously, then his hand reached for the towel around his waist, pretending to pull it away.
"Ah! Don't you dare! Ruth, control your damn man! Quick!" Ai Lu hopped around frantically shouting.
Ruth was watching the two of them with great interest, not showing any sign of wanting to intervene.
"Hehe, coming up next, it's time to witness a miracle!" Ye Ling said as he gently tugged with a bit of force, and with a whoosh, the towel was yanked away.
"Ah! You bastard! You beast! I'm going to kill... hey, you're wearing big underwear!" Ai Lu was startled for a moment, staring at the big underwear Ye Ling was wearing.
Ye Ling chuckled: "What's the matter, Your Majesty? Could it be that you're a bit disappointed? Don't worry, you definitely won't be disappointed this time, trust me!"
"Get lost!" Ai Lu pushed Ye Ling away and quickly ran over to Ruth's side, her face flushed red as if covered with rosy clouds.
Ruth, caught between laughter and tears, said: "Look at you, sister, I think you also can't escape his clutches."
"Just look at you two, like a pair of bickering lovers—it's definitely fate. And my Darling is so handsome, so strong, his skills in bed will shock you, trust me!"
Ruth spoke with a stern face, and Ai Lu, who was hiding behind her, gave her a shove.
"You little hussy, a pair of dogs, hmph!" Ai Lu spoke defiantly, appearing quite adorable and devoid of her usual dominating aura. She seemed approachable.
Right at that moment, a middle-aged man ran into the room: "Miss, Florosa has arrived, and she is very angry, looking for this distinguished gentleman from the East."
"Florosa? What does she want?" Ai Lu frowned and asked, could it be because of yesterday's incident?
Ruth sighed and nodded: "Oh her, she's just about driven that old lady Florosa to her death."
After that, Ruth told Ai Lu about Ye Ling's brave deeds from the previous day, causing Ai Lu to burst into laughter. Ye Ling was simply too wicked, wicked to a maddening extent.
"May I interview you for a few questions?" Ai Lu jokingly asked, a rarity for her.
Ye Ling nodded: "Yes, definitely, I welcome questions from the Queen of the Ross Clan. I'll certainly give answers!"
"How did you come up with this idea?" Ai Lu asked, trying to suppress her laughter.
"Well, let's just say it's the punishment she deserved. You should know that I, as a person, generally don't hold grudges overnight; I settle them the same day, no dragging my feet."
Ye Ling nodded quite seriously as he spoke. Of course, there are overnight grudges as well, but those come with interest.
In the Sterr Family's drawing room, no sooner had Ye Ling and the two others arrived than a pale, worn Florosa caught sight of Ye Ling and charged at him like a crazed lioness.
"You despicable Huaxia brat! I'll kill you! I will!"
Florosa roared in rage, the indignant fury of an hour's torment almost led her to suicide. Just thinking about that itch now made her shudder uncontrollably, simply unbearable.
"Tsk tsk, old lady, trust me, the next scene will definitely calm you down. Do you believe it?" Ye Ling waved his hand seriously.
Florosa gritted her teeth: "I only believe that the next moment I will bite you to death, do you believe that?"
To calm down, dammit, anyone who could calm down wouldn't be normal.
Not biting you to death is already a testament to your good fortune, and now you still expect me to calm down.
Ye Ling laughed softly: "Trust me, you'll regret the words you've just said. Believe me, you'll be very calm!"
