Chapter 20: Chapter 20

“Liu Zixiu, go on vomiting! Have you reached your starvation limit already?” Nangong Du mocked at him inwardly, but on the surface, he continued as if out of concern, “I dunno about you, but the heat is killing me! Darling, how about we take a bath to cool off before dinner?”

“Taking a bath?” Zixiu shivered out of fear, his hair standing on end in an instant as if he were already in the hot water. “Looks like this pervert is going to get back at me!” he thought.

Sensing the one in his arms as stiff as a stone, Nangong Du revealed a sly smile. “Honey, come on! Don’t be shy!” he deliberately said slowly.

“No way! I don’t need anyone to bath me! Not now!” Zixiu shook his head desperately in horror, and he couldn’t even utter a word. Unfortunately, it wasn’t up to him.

The maidservants had just gotten the water ready when they saw the prince walk in with the ‘princess’ in his arms. They all dropped to their knees obediently and bowed to them. “Your Highness, Prince Liuxu, the water is ready,” the chief maidservant, Xingyi, said in a soft voice.

“Leave, all of you!” Nangong Du said impatiently. Gluing his ‘burning’ gaze on the ‘princess’, he couldn’t wait to slip his hand into ‘her’ clothes, to be exact, into the quilt.

Obviously, these girls were used to it, so they lowered their heads and left in haste. Being left alone with Prince Mu in the room, his ‘sweetie pie’ felt himself in hell. “Dad, help! Your son is going to be boiled!” Unable to turn to anyone for help, Zixiu could only whine inwardly.

“Scared?” As soon as those maidservants left, Nangong Du immediately changed his attitude towards Zixiu and loosened his grip.

However, to Zixiu’s surprise, he didn’t fall into the pool as he had expected. After freezing for a few seconds, he rose to his feet from the floor in a hurry, as if granted amnesty. Disregarding his nearly-broken spine, he forced a flattering smile at Nangond Du, hoping this pervert wouldn’t throw him into the hot water. As much as he wanted to run away, he knew it was out of his depth. “A wise man submits to fate! A great man knows when to eat humble pie and when to hold his head high! Heroes do not… Well, I’m not a tough man, and I have to give in to this jerk for the time being!” While trying to find an excuse to persuade himself to yield, Zixiu cursed secretly, “Damn pervert, you’ll live to regret this!”

With a snort, Nangong Du shot a disdainful glare at him, which gave Zixiu, who had already decided to swallow the humiliation, the impulse to kill him with a kick. “I’m going to trample on his face! On his face!” he roared inwardly.

“Are you mad at me?” Nangong Du was tact, so the moment he saw Zixiu’s twisted face, he immediately figured out what was on his mind. However, he was certain that no matter how angry he was, Zixiu didn’t dare to protest. Stretching his limbs, Nangong Du ordered in a relaxed tone with his eyes closed, “Come to remove the clothes for me!”

“What?” Zixiu was stupefied again. “Looks like this pervert is serious about taking a bath, which means the water isn’t that hot?”

“What are you still waiting for? Being executed for disobeying me?” Hearing no response from Zixiu, Nangong Du threatened in a low voice.

“Here… I am!” Zixiu immediately answered. He moved over to Nangong Du as fast as a half-starved man with his ass injured could. However, instead of unbuttoning the clothes for Nangong Du right away, He looked up and down for quite a while, having no idea where to start. “It’s too complicated!” As all Zixiu’s clothes were altered by his dad after they got them from the tailors, he didn’t know how to unbutton the normal ones.

“Liu Zixiu, you don’t think I dare to kill you, is that right?” Seeing Ziuxiu still hesitating, Nangong Du felt his patience wearing thin.

“Ca… Calm down, Your Highness!” Under his threat, Zixiu had no time to think that much, and he immediately tugged at Nangong Du’s clothes randomly in a desperate way.

Surprisingly, he succeeded in ripping his clothes off! However, when he looked up at Nangong Du, he found the latter staring at him with a ferocious look.

“Get in the pool!” Nangong Du spat out the words one by one, gritting his teeth. Obviously, he was struggling to hold back his anger. “It seems he won’t hit the ceiling for the moment!” Zixiu thought.

Unfortunately, Zixiu seemed to have gotten this pervert wrong and when he was about to push his luck by evading Nangong Du’s vision, the latter gave him a good kick from behind.

With a crash, Zixiu fell into the pool. He instinctively flapped the water with all his strength to prevent himself from sinking, but after a while, he suddenly realized that the water was shallow with a comfortable temperature, so it didn’t seem necessary to struggle that hard!

“Little brat, don’t overestimate yourself! You don’t even deserve my revenge!” Folding his arms across his chest, Nangong Du looked down at Zixiu with a scornful look again. “You good-for-nothing!”

“Good-for-nothing?” Even though he had lost his memory, Zixiu was certain he had never been humiliated like this in his life! This asshole not only insulted him physically and mentally but also trampled on his pride! Although he had never thought of setting himself against anyone, Zixiu decided to put up a desperate fight for his own dignity!

“Pa!”

He slapped the water all of a sudden, his pent-up anger erupting in an instant. “You bastard! Listen! I, Liu Zixiu, am by no means a pushover! I don’t give a shit if you wanna fuck me or boil me, just go ahead! Drop the fucking act! I feel like vomiting at a mere glance at you! If you dare curse me again, I’ll drag you to hell, and we’ll rot in there together!” Zixiu roared, throwing all caution to the wind.

Nangong Du didn’t expect that a casual word would have aroused Zixiu’s fury, and it took him quite a while to come back to his senses from a trance. He didn’t hear clearly what Zixiu was yelling but only saw him staring at him in rage with his hands on his hips. For no reason, Nangong Du suddenly got intense.

He lowered his head and took a deep breath without a word, managing to suppress his restlessness. Next, he removed his pants on his own, stepped into the bathing pool and sat down with his eyes closed, leaning against the platform.

“Huh?” Being stunned by this pervert’s calmness, Zixiu stood still dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Now the prince and the ‘princess’ were taking a bath in an awkward atmosphere, one half-lying, one standing in the pool!
