Chapter 17: Stir-fried Rabbit Meat

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the rabbit ran, its small buttocks jiggled up and down and its four short limbs shook right and left, which made it look even more silly and cute.

Seeing that Muyan was staring at the foolish rabbit with her eyes shining, Luo Beiyu said gallantly, “Master, do you like the rabbit? I can catch it for you to be your pet.”

Muyan was powerful, he thought, but she was still a young girl only eighteen or nineteen years old. It was normal for her to like cute, furry animals like rabbits.

Muyan’s eyes did shine. However, what she was thinking about was stir-fried rabbit meat, braised rabbit meat…

Luo Beiyu waved his hand and the guards rushed over toward the rabbit at once.

Who knew that as they jumped on the seemingly dull and slow rabbit, it would avoid their attack completely?

The head guard was so irritated and was about to use his superpower, but the stupid rabbit suddenly sniffed and the tip of its nose wiggled a little… then it darted into Xiaobao’s arms without any warning.

Xiaobao grabbed the rabbit with one try and held it, expressionless as always. “Mommy, I’ll make you stir-fried rabbit.”

The rabbit shivered at this sentence and its pink eyes blinked. It then suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a green fruit.

Upon seeing the fruit, before Muyan and Xiaobao could react, Luo Beiyu and his guards couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah, it’s a Qingying Fruit! A thumb-sized Qingying Fruit can be sold at a sky-high price on the ghost market!”

This Qingying Fruit was at least the size of an adult fist.

The rabbit wiggled and moved, struggling to jump down from Xiaobao’s hands. It then pushed the Qingying Fruit toward Xiaobao with its short legs.

Meanwhile, it looked at Xiaobao fawningly with its round, light red eyes.

Xiaobao looked up at Muyan and Muyan looked at the rabbit, as if she was thinking about something. She was about to speak when the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the direction in which the rabbit had just appeared.

“Young Lady, look, the rabbit that stole our Qingying Fruit is surely here!”

As they spoke, several figures showed up together.

These people were led by a beautiful young girl in crimson clothing made of fine gauze.

She had a pair of bright eyes and white teeth, looking bright and beautiful. She revealed a little bit of a shy and mischievous look in her eyes, as well as a touch of the flirtatiousness of someone more mature. Passersby might feel strongly attracted to her.

However, when Luo Beiyu saw this young girl, his face immediately darkened.

His guards standing by also pulled long faces and turned their heads, seemingly loathing the sight of this young girl.

The young girl didn’t seem to expect to see Luo Beiyu there either, and she was dumbfounded at once.

After a long while, she stepped forward and said, “Cousin Brother, it’s been a long time.”

Luo Beiyu’s face remained gloomy and he said coldly, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave first!”

“Wait!” Guo Zifei raised her voice hurriedly and bit her lips. With a wronged tone, she said, “Cousin Brother, do you still blame me? You know I was forced to do it in the beginning. I didn’t really want to betray you!”

Luo Beiyu took a deep breath. “You’re now the imperial concubine of Prince Second of Jingcheng State. You have nothing to do with me, and I don’t want to see you in the future.”

As he said this, Luo Beiyu walked to Muyan and said lightly, “Master, let’s go!”

Muyan saw that this silly royal highness looked extremely ashamed and angry, then she stood up with Xiaobao in her arms as if she was thinking about something.

But just as they were about to leave, the maid standing beside Guo Zifei stopped them. “Wait. You can leave, but the rabbit and the Qingying Fruit the rabbit stole must be returned to us!”

Then the maid took several steps as she rushed toward Muyan and Xiaobao, trying to snatch the Qingying Fruit in Xiaobao’s arms.

“Master, watch out!”
