Empress Running Away with the Ball - Page 271/852

Chapter 270: Punish me with following you forever

He could not help rubbing his chest. He had been kicked there by Mo Chuan yesterday, and although he wasn’t seriously injured, it did make his chest feel uncomfortable.

“Then can you beat him?” Chen Ning blinked as she asked this rhetorical question.

Although Chu Shao Bai said they were even, seeing his expression told her that he must have taken quite a bit of damage from Mo Chuan.

“Of…..Of course!” Chu Shao Bai’s throat felt blocked as he said, “Next time, I’ll make him kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, letting him know just how powerful I am!”

“Alright, I will wait for that day to come.” Chen Ning said with a smile.

“Hey, why would you find a bodyguard for no reason? Are you afraid of my third brother bullying you? How about you let that brat Hei go and I’ll act as your bodyguard instead!”

Chu Shao Bai suddenly thought of this and blurted it out.

Chen Ning couldn’t help breaking out in laughter.

“You are the esteemed King Jing An, how could I have someone as you act as my bodyguard?” She shook her head while smiling.

Chu Shao Bai gave a sigh. He also knew that this was an impossible matter. Not to mention his third brother agreeing to this, if his uncle, the emperor found out, he would immediately punish him!

But when he thought of that brat Hei being by her side all day, not moving a single step, he couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable.

“Xiao Bai, I want to punish you!” Chen Ning suddenly said with a serious expression, “You dislocated my arm, making it hard for me to use it. So, how should I punish you?”

Chu Shao Bai’s heart suddenly skipped a beat as he looked at her in a nervous manner.

“You can do it however you want. I….will listen to your punishment.” He replied without any hesitation.

But his heart said: The best punishment would be being by your side forever!

“Alright, those are your words. In a few days, the eldest princess will be holding a hunt which your third brother and I will be participating in. I have made a bet with your third brother to see who will be able to hunt the most prey on the day of the hunt…..”

Chen Ning did not even have time to finish before Chu Shao Bai cut in with a surprised voice, “What! You…..You really made this kind of bet with my third brother? You, how could you bet with these terms with my third brother! You already know how good my brother’s riding skills are and his archery skills are godly. Every year, in the spring hunt, he is always the champion! You could bet with him in anything, so why did you pick hunting! You will lose without a doubt!”

He spoke as he shook his head. Then he asked, “What did you bet? If it’s not important, it’s fine to give up.”

When Chen Ning heard this, she couldn’t help feeling discouraged. She said in a depressed voice, “To Chu Shao Yang, it really isn’t anything important. I like one of the horses in his stable, so if I win, he will give the horse to me. If I lose……”

She bit her lips as her eyes revealed a cold look filled with hate towards Chu Shao Yang.

“What happens if you lose?” Chu Shao Bai asked in a nervous voice.

“He said that if I lose, then I would have to kowtow in front of the palace’s main gates and admit my wrongdoings. Then I would never be able to take a single step out of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion!” Chen Ning bit her lips and her eyes revealed a look of not wanting to lose.

Making her kowtow to that scum and never leaving the palace again!

“My third brother really is going too far!” Chu Shao Bai’s face sank as he forcefully stamped his foot. He looked at her with an iron hard expression, “For a horse, you’re willing to lose your life? How, how could you be this stupid! If you like horses, then I can give ten of them to you! If you really like my third brother’s horse, then just tell me. Even if I have to steal it, I would get it for your from my third brother! Why would you have to make this kind of crazy bet!”

He was angry and anxious as he circled around the room.
