LOT – Chapter 36 Grab His Leg and Punch His Lower Body!

Lin Mo felt that she had just performed exceptionally well — her voice was loud, her tone sincere. Otherwise, how could that man have possibly kneeled down? He must have been moved by her heartfelt suggestion!

She opened her mouth, wanting to say a few more words, but at that moment, Minister Lin and Lord Li exchanged a glance and simultaneously covered her mouth. The two of them then swiftly carried Lin Mo away from the “battlefield.”

With her mouth covered, Lin Mo couldn’t say a word. [What’s going on, what’s going on! I was having such a touching conversation with him, what’s wrong with chatting for a bit!]

The Second Prince of Xijiang climbed up from the ground with a dark expression, his voice laced with malice as he said, “Who would’ve thought that the Dayong Dynasty would actually have female officials? I wonder which family’s daughter she is — she certainly has a beautiful face.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuande’s face immediately darkened. “If the Second Prince of Xijiang has nothing further, you may withdraw now.”

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the guards outside promptly came in and carried the Second Prince of Xijiang away.

Second Prince of Xijiang: ???

Is this how you treat your guests?!

Since their own Second Prince had been hauled away, the rest of the Xijiang envoys naturally couldn’t stay either. In no time, everyone had cleared out.

The officials also returned to their homes. After all, they still had to attend tonight’s banquet, and who knew what more trouble the Second Prince of Xijiang might stir up.

Lin Mo was dragged home by her own father.

Minister Lin, standing over 1.8 meters tall, lifted Lin Mo — who, being young, had only just passed 1.6 meters — and carried her off. The scene was honestly quite amusing.

The three princes watched the departing backs of the father and daughter, shaking their heads and sighing at the same time.

The Third Prince said curiously, “How did Minister Lin end up raising such a wild daughter? His eldest son and daughter both have calm, steady personalities. How did Lin Mo turn out like this?”

The Second Prince pondered for a moment and then said, somewhat uncertainly, “Lin Mo… should be their biological child, right?”

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince immediately smacked the back of his two brothers’ heads.  “What nonsense are you spouting! The three Lin siblings look so much alike — how could they not be biological siblings? Lin Mo may be a bit unruly in personality, but her looks are undeniable. It’s just that her… ‘presence’ often makes people overlook her appearance.”

(Lin Mo: My god-tier aura is just too amazing, isn’t it!)

After being dragged home, Lin Mo quickly found an excuse to retreat to her room, where she began carving her statue again, while also chatting with the system about what to do tonight.

[System, you have to be extra careful tonight — we can only win, not lose!]

The system answered confidently: [Don’t worry! I absolutely won’t let the Crown Prince lose!]

The evening banquet was attended mainly by officials. Lin Mo found a spot near the viewing platform — a position the emperor had specially arranged for her.

The system said, [Tsk tsk, that Second Prince of Xijiang even smuggled in a hidden weapon! There’s a retractable blade hidden in the toe of his shoe — how sly and treacherous!]

Lin Mo: !!!

The emperor and his ministers’ expressions changed as well. The emperor looked anxiously at his eldest son.

The Crown Prince nodded confidently at the emperor. Now that he knew the Second Prince was hiding a weapon in his shoe, it would be easier to guard against it.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, please,” said the Second Prince of Xijiang, smiling broadly.

Standing next to the tall, refined Crown Prince, the rough and burly Second Prince looked like a completely uncivilized brute.

Lin Mo genuinely felt like her eyes had been scarred.

[Tsk, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve sighed over this guy’s looks. Do the women over there all have such heavy tastes? They actually like this type?]

[I figure those little concubines of his father’s probably hadn’t seen many men in their lives, so they ended up treasuring him. Compared to an old geezer, even a bear must seem acceptable to them.]

The system gasped: [How did you know?! I was just about to tell you! His father’s concubines indeed rarely ever saw men. Supply and demand, you know. Plus, the Second Prince’s “assets” aren’t bad, and he serves them quite attentively.]

Hearing the system’s explanation, the officials all either bowed their heads or turned them aside — but they all had the same reaction: biting down on their lower lips, struggling desperately to hold back their laughter.

However, their eyes kept darting toward the Second Prince of Xijiang’s lower body.

The Xijiang envoys, noticing these movements, were all filled with terror.

What the heck is wrong with these Dayong officials?! Where exactly are they looking?!

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince of Xijiang had already begun to spar on the platform. The Second Prince fought with raw brute strength, while the Crown Prince was agile and nimble.

Just as a heavy punch from the Second Prince came flying toward him, the system quickly instructed: [Bend backward to dodge!]

Lin Mo shouted: “Do the splits to dodge it!”

The emperor and the ministers all stared wide-eyed: ???

The Crown Prince: ???

Weren’t you supposed to just relay what the system said? The system said to bend backward — you said to do the splits! Those are totally different moves!

Fortunately, the Crown Prince reacted fast, and with a quick sidestep, he dodged the punch.  The Second Prince shot a malicious glare down at Lin Mo in the audience.

Lin Mo glared right back: [Oh, it’s a staring contest you want? My eyes are way bigger than yours, pal!]

The system was exasperated: [I specifically said to bend backward! You said to do the splits!]

Lin Mo: [Same thing, same thing. As long as he dodged it, it’s fine. Plus, isn’t doing the splits way flashier?]

The system: …

Everyone who could hear her thoughts: …

Back on the platform, the Second Prince of Xijiang started playing dirty again. He kicked at the Crown Prince, simultaneously activating the hidden blade in his shoe.

The system shouted: [Grab his leg! Pull off his shoe!]

Lin Mo yelled loudly from the stands: “Grab his leg and punch him in the crotch!”

Every man present immediately winced in pain and instinctively looked toward Minister Lin.

Minister Lin’s face was pitch-black as he tried to sink under the table. So humiliating! Why is this so humiliating?!

Even the emperor stole a glance at his own lower half, his heart pounding wildly from Lin Mo’s words.

The Crown Prince, almost automatically following Lin Mo’s shouted instructions, caught the Second Prince’s kicking leg with his left hand and aimed a solid punch at his crotch with his right.

The Second Prince’s pupils dilated in terror. His legs buckled and he quickly lowered his body, causing the Crown Prince’s punch to land in his abdomen instead.

The Second Prince stumbled back several steps from the force of the blow — but at least, he managed to protect his “precious parts.”

The Crown Prince even glanced regretfully at his own fist. If only it had been three inches lower…

Lin Mo was also full of regret: [Agh, too bad it didn’t smash his jewels. Such a pity.]

At this point, even the system was starting to feel that its host wasn’t just a little vicious — she was extremely vicious!
