Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 725 - 723

Chapter 725: 723

They asked me to herd sheep, didn’t they? I’ll kick all these smart sheep to death while I can, Princess Ling’er thought, her face twisted with malice.

Driven by anger, she yelled while she pursued: "Aren’t you all very smart? Run into the circle now!"

The little lambs in the circle were terrified by Princess Ling’er’s shouts and abuse.

"Too much!" Fu Ranhui said indignantly.

"How heartless she must be to kick such adorable lambs!" the Fifth Princess added.

"Seeking death!" Xiao’er sneered.

Seeing someone destroying the game, the sheepdogs on the field began to bark loudly and ran towards Princess Ling’er.

The dogs, which looked silly during the competition, now appeared fiercely menacing. Princess Ling’er couldn’t care less about anything else and started screaming and running around!

There were ten sheepdogs hot on her heels.

"Oh my God, help! Stay away, don’t come over."

Princess Ling’er cried out as she ran for the exit.

"Princess! Sixth Prince’s Consort, how can you let the dogs bite the princess?" One of the maids and servants brought by Princess Ling’er was anxiously pacing back and forth.

"Your ability to distort the truth is truly impressive! When did you see my mistress releasing the dogs?" Yang Liu retorted sarcastically.

"Consort of the Sixth Prince, save me!" Princess Ling’er had no choice but to beg for Xiao’er’s help.

Xiao’er remained silent, waiting to see her panic.

As long as Princess Ling’er did not attack the sheep and the dogs, the dogs would not bite people at will. They were just trying to scare her. So Xiao’er was quite relaxed, letting the sheepdogs accompany the terrified Princess Ling’er to play around.

Princess Ling’er fell down several times due to the dogs, her clothes torn.

But the sheepdogs seemed not to be satisfied just with that, and kept chasing her, biting her clothes and tearing them apart.

Finally, one dog took her down, opened its mouth widely and lunged at her face!

"Ah! Don’t! Go away!" Princess Ling’er was frightened. She waved her hands frantically, and upon seeing the sharp teeth and elongated tongue of the dog, she fainted.

After Princess Ling’er fainted, the dog stepped back, sticking its tongue out and giving her face a good lick before leaving her alone.

"She fainted so quickly, she’s too cowardly." Xiao’er drew a thin smile, showing her dissatisfaction. She was hoping that Princess Ling’er would beg her to let her go, so that she could take the opportunity to demand some compensation!

"When Princess Ling’er wakes up, she’s likely to faint again out of disgust!" Ming Jingya shook her head.

"She might need to wash her face at least!"

"Tsk tsk, being toyed with by a dog, does that make the dog responsible for her? Girl, remember to gift that dog to Princess Ling’er as her husband. She’s lucky enough to receive such a good dog!" Di Shaowei snorted coldly.

Xiao’er spoke to Yang Liu: "Go and wake Princess Ling’er up. I still have to demand payment! She can’t avoid this by pretending to faint."

Princess Ling’er woke up after the dog ran off, but she didn’t dare open her eyes.

At this moment, her body was shaking, unsure if it was due to fear or anger.

Yang Liu carried a basin of water over. Seeing Princess Ling’er in this state, she knew she was faking.

Without a word, Liu Yang splashed the cold water onto her.

Princess Ling’er jumped up. She looked quite miserable now, with her hair being messy, water dripping from her clothes, and her clothes damaged in various places.

"Shen Xiao’er, I won’t share the same sky with you!" Princess Ling’er jumped up, wanting to point at Xiao’er and curse vehemently, but upon seeing that her hand was still covered by a bandage, she hurriedly pulled her hand back. Her hand was just starting to heal. It wasn’t fully recovered yet!

Xiao’er burst into laughter upon seeing this: at least she was scared now! She hated being scolded the most!

But, shouldn’t they be irreconcilable enemies? That means they refused to coexist under the same sky with their enemies!

Xiao’er smirked, irreconcilable sounds good!

Princess Ling’er, seeing Xiao’er’s expression, didn’t know why but felt a chill.

She had declared them irreconcilable enemies, but why did Xiao’er seem so pleased?

Even if she wasn’t scared, she shouldn’t be happy! Princess Ling’er couldn’t make sense of it.

Xiao’er had a once-and-for-all solution in mind, and that cheered her up quite a bit.

With too much water on her face, Princess Ling’er wiped it off, then sensed something was off; why did it feel slippery and smell so fishy?

Upon remembering what had happened, Princess Ling’er instantly felt sick, her stomach churning uncontrollably. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

Yang Liu quickly handed a basin to Princess Ling’er’s new maid and pushed her in that direction.

"Go, don’t mess up the place!"

The maid stood a little distance away, holding the wooden basin up to her face, and Princess Ling’er began to vomit into it.

Xiao’er and the others quickly distanced themselves; they didn’t want to endure the stench.

"Princess Ling’er, how does it feel to have dog slobber all over your face?" Di Shaowei then ran away quickly, turning back just to make a snide remark.

Upon hearing Di Shaowei’s comment, Princess Ling’er threw up even more.

When Princess Ling’er finished vomiting, she ran away, she needed to wash her face.

"Princess Ling’er, we’ll put today’s sheep-herding aside. If you have free time in the future, we can make it up, don’t worry, I won’t forget." Xiao’er purposely said this to remind Princess Ling’er that she still owed her a bet. The next time she wanted to mess with her, she should remember that!

Upon hearing this, Princess Ling’er was infuriated!

She was almost killed by a mad dog chasing her, her face was licked by a dog, and now she’s saying that the pig-herding didn’t count!

She would rather be called untrustworthy than herd pigs again.

She decided that she would not honor this bet, whatever others might say. Being talked about won’t cost her a chunk of flesh, but if she really went through with the bet, she’d be at a huge loss! Besides, she had already lost face today. Ask her to herd pigs again? No way!

Princess Ling’er quickly ran away without looking back.

"Princess Ling’er, you were teased by a dog, I’ll make sure it takes responsibility! Don’t worry about your reputation being ruined!" Di Shaowei shouted loudly at her retreating figure.

Upon hearing the phrase "teased by a dog," Princess Ling’er’s stomach convulsed again.

She covered her mouth and ran even faster!

"Didn’t she still promise you a favor? Why didn’t you take this opportunity to ask for it?" Fu Ranhui asked after she ran far away.

"Even if I asked her now, she wouldn’t do it. She’s adamant on reneging on the deal!" Xiao’er shook her head; the way Princess Ling’er just acted made it clear she wouldn’t honor it.

Xiao’er didn’t bring up the other bet; she needed to do that in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, only then would Princess Ling’er not default.

"What should we do then? Are we gonna let her off just like that?" Di Shaowei frowned.

"Of course not! I’ll handle it in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. I’ll make sure she pays up." Xiao’er replied bluntly.

Countless examples have shown her that she should be ruthless when dealing with those who harbor malice towards her.

Everyone agreed that this was a sound plan; surely, Princess Ling’er wouldn’t dare to back out in front of the Empress Dowager.
