Chapter 423 Fighting for favor
Su Lingshuang's speed in picking up the food could not keep up with Bai Yue's speed. After half of the venison had entered the other's stomach, she asked nervously.
"Your Highness, I wonder if this venison suits your taste?"
"Delicious, delicious! I never thought you would cook venison with chili peppers!"
Since she came here, Bai Yue has never eaten anything spicy, so she secretly decided to get some pepper seeds and grow them herself.
"Chili pepper? Your Highness, are you saying this thing is called chili pepper?"
Su Lingshuang picked up a red object. Bai Yue looked at its shape and found that it was actually the spiciest chili pepper.
"Yes, this is chili pepper. Isn't that what you call it?"
"Well, we call it the Heart-Eating Thorn. Legend has it that it was a herb that you, the goddess, gave to the Su Clan to cultivate the willpower of your disciples!"
As Su Lingshuang spoke, she put a large piece of chili pepper into her mouth and chewed it slowly as if to prove her strong will.
"I was wondering why all the vegetarians have such hot tempers. Turns out it's all from eating too many chili peppers!"
Bai Yue complained inwardly, then looked at Su Lingshuang seriously.
"Xiao Shuang, thank you for treating me to dinner tonight. I have something I want to give you!"
She waved her right hand lightly, and a translucent jade cocoon appeared in her palm, but Su Lingshuang had a dazed expression and didn't pay any attention to it at all.
"Little...Frost?"
When Su Lingshuang heard this affectionate name, her heart was filled with ecstasy, but Bai Yue mistakenly thought that she was disgusted by it and quickly explained
"Haha, I just think we're friends now. It's a bit strange to keep calling her Su Lingshuang, but if you don't like it..."
"No, I like it very much! Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me this name!"
A blush like a lively flame suddenly climbed up Su Lingshuang's cheek. The blush became more and more intense, as if it wanted to wrap her whole body in this shame. But Bai Yue was completely unaware of it, and was secretly wondering if she had eaten too much chili pepper.
"When you return to the Voodoo Cult, just show this to Elder Miao, and he will believe that you and I are acquainted. Moreover, this jade cocoon can also be used as a communication tool. Whenever you want to contact me, just recite to it on a full moon night..."
Bai Yue couldn't help but pause when she said this. It was really Xiao 1's contact signal. Every time she read it, it exuded a strong sense of middle school student.
"Just chant Balala Energy, the power of the moon, so we can get in touch no matter where I am!"
Finally, she turned her head awkwardly and blurted out the code.
"Xiao Shuang? Did I explain something unclearly just now?"
After waiting for a long time, Su Lingshuang didn't respond. Bai Yue subconsciously turned her head to look at her, but this look really scared her, because tears suddenly welled up in the girl's eyes for no reason, and the tears were swirling in her eyes, as if they would burst out in the next second.
"Your Highness? Are you disgusted with me? Are you angry because of my rude remarks a few days ago?"
"Disgusted? Angry? Weird, how come I know every word, but when they're put together I don't understand what they mean!"
Just when Bai Yue was bewildered and full of doubts, Su Lingbing, with a faint smile on her lips and a bright light in her eyes, quietly sat down on the other side of her.
"Your Highness, did you mean to ask Ling Shuang to return to the Holy Church?"
"Yup!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Lingshuang's tears, which had been accumulating for a long time, finally fell down her cheeks. Seeing this, Bai Yue hurriedly handed the handkerchief in her sleeve to the other party, and by the way, put the jade cocoon in her hand into Su Lingbing's hand.
"Su Lingbing, you should keep this for now. When you return to the Voodoo Cult, help your sister more. I think she's under too much pressure and is mentally..."
Before Bai Yue could even utter the word "abnormal", Su Lingbing, who had been smiling, suddenly looked extremely ugly.
"Your Highness, do you mean for me to return to Voodoo Cult with Ling Shuang?"
"Yes, taking the Celestial Jade Dew and returning to the Holy Church, isn't this your long-cherished wish?"
Bai Yue tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what Su Lingbing was up to.
"But, but..."
Su Lingbing hesitated for a long time but couldn't make out what was going on. However, Su Lingshuang had stopped crying and her expression showed a hint of anxiety.
"So Your Highness, you didn't choose my brother, right?"
"Choose your brother? Why should I choose him?"
Bai Yue frowned subconsciously, and at this moment, the faint sobbing sound of a man came from beside her without any warning.
"Wait, did I say something wrong? Why are you crying, Su Lingbing?"
Her eyes fell on Su Lingbing's tear-stained face, and her heart was full of surprise. Unexpectedly, not only did the other party have no intention of stopping, but instead reached out and grabbed her sleeve tightly, crying even more sadly.
"Your Highness, please don't despise me. I really didn't mean to make you jump off the cliff!"
"Well, that's all old news. Don't worry, everything is my own choice. I won't blame anyone!"
When Bai Yue heard that the other person was talking about jumping off a cliff, she quickly spoke, her voice full of relief.
"But, if you're not blaming me, why do you call Ling Shuang Xiao Shuang and call me by my full name?"
As Su Lingbing spoke, she slowly raised her head and looked timidly at Bai Yue. Her eyes were now filled with tears, and her tearful appearance revealed endless weakness and grievance.
"So you mean, let me call you Xiaobing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Lingbing nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, then I'll call you Xiaobing from now on!"
Bai Yue thought that maybe Su Lingbing had been wearing women's clothes for so long that even her preferences had become quite unique, so she didn't think too much about it and agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After Su Lingbing got what she wanted, she immediately burst into laughter, and Bai Yue naturally raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve.
"Don't cry easily. Someone once said that men who love to laugh will have good luck!"
"Okay, okay, I will pay attention next time!"
Su Lingbing couldn't stand Bai Yue's slightly intimate behavior. In an instant, his cheeks turned red as if they had been stained by an overturned rouge box.
Seeing this, Su Lingshuang's face instantly became extremely ugly. She glared at Su Lingbing fiercely, then picked up a small wine jar and reached out to tightly grab Bai Yue's other sleeve. She used such force that it seemed as if she hoped that the other party would not pay attention to anyone else except her.
"Your Highness, you must be feeling a bit sick after eating so much venison. Here's my special rice wine. Would you like to try it?"
"Sorry, I don't drink at all. I appreciate your kindness!"
When Bai Yue heard the word "wine", the ridiculous three days she spent with the three brothers of the Yun family in Wenqu Kingdom immediately emerged in her mind. From then on, she became more wary of the thing in the cup.
"Your Highness, I have some herbal tea that I mixed myself. Would you like to try it?"
Su Lingbing poured a cup for Bai Yue as she spoke. When the other party heard it was tea, he immediately nodded.
"Not bad, not bad. The herbal tea you prepared is quite delicious. It just covers up the spicy taste of the venison!"
After she finished her tea, she continued to eat heartily, so she didn't notice that the Su brothers and sisters were not saying a word at the moment, but were engaging in a silent confrontation with each other with their eyes.
