Pulling Rina Chu's Sash

Leon Zane turned around and saw Vivian Xiao standing at the doorway.

For some reason, a sudden sense of dread washed over him.

"Leon Zane!" Vivian Xiao scolded angrily. "How could you do something like this?"

"Huh?"

Something like this? What exactly does she mean?

He glanced at his left hand—it was covering Rina Chu's mouth.

Then he looked at his right hand—it was tugging at Rina Chu's sash.

Leon Zane suddenly jumped up as if stung by a scorpion. "Ah! Princess, you've got it all wrong! I was just—"

"Princess, please save me!" Rina Chu cried out now that her mouth was free. "This pervert drugged me and tried to take advantage! Please, Your Highness, you have to rescue me!"

"Rina Chu! What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever try to do anything to you?" Leon Zane protested anxiously.

Vivian Xiao pressed, "Then what exactly are you doing?"

"I... I..." Leon Zane pointed at Rina Chu. "Rina Chu, tell her! I drugged you—was it to get the Celestial Lash, or was it something else?"

Seeing Leon Zane so flustered, Rina Chu's eyes darted, but then she teared up and asked pitifully, "Celestial Lash? What's that? I've never even heard of it.

Princess, Leon Zane has tried to spy on me several times, and now he's stooped to this despicable act. You have to stand up for me!"

"Rina Chu! Drop the act!" Leon Zane snapped. "Do you want me to—"

He was so worked up, he nearly lost control.

But Vivian Xiao grabbed his hand, her face full of disappointment. "I can't believe this is who you really are! Come on, we're going to see the Azure Dragon Lord! He needs to straighten you out!"

With that, she dragged Leon Zane away.

Leon Zane kept protesting as they walked. "No, Princess! Don't listen to her nonsense!

I just wanted to search her for the Celestial Lash!

Then interrogate her properly about where she stole the Celestial Lash from!

I really wasn’t trying to do anything else to her!

Princess, you know my heart has always belonged to you...

Rina Chu lay in bed, hearing his voice fade into the distance, and broke into a mischievous grin.

......

Vivian Xiao was the youngest daughter of the Celestial Emperor, and among the group she grew up with, she was basically the youngest.

So whenever something happened, she was never the one making decisions.

She was always expected to just be obedient.

Luckily, there was finally someone younger than her.

Leon Zane was a year younger than her.

So she always thought of herself as Leon Zane’s older sister.

Now, seeing him act this way, Vivian Xiao felt utterly heartbroken.

She felt it was her duty to report this to the Azure Dragon Lord and let him discipline Leon Zane.

So that's exactly what she did.

The Azure Dragon Lord was furious when he heard, and immediately called for family punishment.

Vivian Xiao didn’t stay long; she bid farewell and left.

She could hear the Azure Dragon Lord shouting behind her, "Leon Zane! You’re really something now! Sneaking into a fairy’s room? Just wait—I’ll beat you senseless today!"

"Ah! I didn’t! I swear I didn’t, Father! Ow, that hurts!"

......

After leaving, Vivian Xiao went to Wangshu to find Chloe Zhu (Grace).

This time, she arrived just as Chloe was giving Rina Chu the antidote.

Seeing Vivian Xiao, Rina Chu immediately looked grateful and thanked her. "Princess, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, Leon Zane would’ve ruined me today!"

"Your name is Rina Chu, right?" Vivian Xiao asked.

"Yes! My name is Rina Chu."
