LOT – Chapter 37 I’m Definitely My Father’s Biological Child!

Right now, the Crown Prince had the upper hand. Lin Mo and the system were both watching with bursts of excited exclamations.

In the end, the Crown Prince won the match. The Second Prince of Xijiang had an utterly black expression on his face.

“The Crown Prince’s skills are truly extraordinary,” he said, gritting his teeth.

“But having someone constantly interfering from below the stage — isn’t that a bit unsportsmanlike?”

Hearing this, Lin Mo spat disdainfully and retorted, “Pah! Unsportsmanlike, my foot. You brought a hidden weapon and you have the nerve to complain about me giving some coaching from the sidelines?”

“Besides, even on a real battlefield, reminders and calls are allowed. If you lose, you lose — stop blaming others for your incompetence. Shameless!”

The system chimed in, [Exactly, shameless! I finally understand why he keeps that big bushy beard — it’s to hide how shameless he is!]

Lin Mo: [Exactly! Well said!]

Everyone else: …Is that really how that works?

The Second Prince of Xijiang was so furious he was trembling all over. The surrounding military officers immediately became alert, ready to block him at any time — they absolutely could not let him harm Lin Mo.

Sitting above, the Xuande Emperor spoke with a dignified air: “It was just a friendly match. Winning and losing is normal. Since the match is over, let’s move on. Later there will be a banquet with music and dance — Second Prince, you should rest for now.”

The Second Prince glanced at the emperor, then at the people around him. Now he understood — this country was totally biased!

Meanwhile, Lin Mo sat nearby, munching on sunflower seeds, still chatting with the system.

[This bear is seriously annoying. If he ever becomes emperor of their country, he’s definitely going to cause trouble.]

The system replied confidently: [Relax, he’s never going to become their emperor.]

Lin Mo: ???

The emperor and the ministers: ???

Wait, wasn’t he supposed to be a strong contender for the throne? Why suddenly so certain he wouldn’t succeed?

Lin Mo immediately smelled gossip: [Quick, quick, tell me! Is there some juicy scandal?]

The system chuckled slyly, [Hehe, just found it while searching. Turns out — this Second Prince isn’t even his father’s biological son! His older brother has already found evidence!]

Lin Mo sucked in a breath: [Their royal family is this messy?!]

The emperor and the officials took a sip of tea to calm themselves.

Exciting! Way too exciting!

The system continued: [The Second Prince’s mother had an affair and gave birth to him. And just this afternoon, she was caught red-handed — literally caught in bed with her lover by the old emperor himself!]

[The man she was sleeping with? That’s the real biological father of the Second Prince! The Crown Prince over there had already been investigating for a while — and now with this evidence, it’s just a matter of time before he makes a move. Things are a total mess back in Xijiang right now.]

Lin Mo clicked her tongue twice: [Messy — absolutely chaotic!]

She also glanced over at the Second Prince of Xijiang, who still looked furious and oblivious. Hmm, he still seemed angry now, but soon… he was about to be even angrier.

The Second Prince of Xijiang noticed Lin Mo looking his way and sneered, “What exactly is this young lady’s identity? What official rank does she hold? Sitting so close to the front — she must have quite a high position, right?”

Everyone else just quietly watched: You dare provoke Lord Lin? We’ll just sit back and watch your downfall.

One of the princes leaned over and whispered to his brother,”This Second Prince of Xijiang sure has guts, daring to provoke this little hellion.”

The Crown Prince took a sip of wine, smiling as he replied, “He doesn’t know her true capabilities. Let’s just sit back and enjoy the show.”

Facing the Second Prince’s provocation, Lin Mo responded with a sweet smile: “I’m my father’s biological daughter.”

The Second Prince of Xijiang: “???”

“I asked for your identity, not whether you’re your father’s biological child!”

Still smiling, Lin Mo replied, “That is my identity — my father’s biological daughter.”

Even the system couldn’t hold back its laughter: [Hahahaha! Absolutely right — your identity is indeed your father’s biological daughter! Perfect answer!]

Everyone who overheard their exchange either ducked their heads or busied themselves drinking — but one thing was clear: all their nostrils flared wide as they struggled to hold in their laughter.

Emperor Xuande looked up at the sky, desperately trying to blink back the tears that laughter had welled up in his eyes.

Eunuch Li even secretly wiped his face with his sleeve.

He had known it — Lord Lin would never disappoint! What a flawless response!

The Second Prince of Xijiang looked about ready to explode. Was this woman incapable of understanding human speech?!

With a loud smack, he slammed the table and stood up.

“Are you deliberately mocking me?! What do you mean by this?!”

The system, loving the drama, piped up gleefully: [Ooooh, he’s losing it! Look at him — he’s really losing it!]

[Wait, he even farted from anger! Does he vent his rage through his butt?! Do all humans have this feature?!]

Lin Mo calmly replied: [Nope, just him.]

Everyone’s eyes sneaked toward the Second Prince’s backside, feeling a little sorry for the envoy seated behind him.

Watching the Second Prince about to burst a blood vessel, Lin Mo smiled sweetly and said, “I wasn’t mocking you. But if you insist on thinking that, there’s nothing I can do.”

With that, she spread her hands in an exaggeratedly helpless gesture — it was classic scumbag energy, and her mockery rating skyrocketed.

Everyone: …She technically didn’t say anything wrong, so why are we all so furious right now?

Seeing that the Second Prince was about to charge at Lin Mo, Minister Lin dashed forward, shielding his daughter and barking, “What are you trying to do, Second Prince? Are you seriously planning to quarrel with a young girl?”

Lin Mo poked her head out from behind her father and added mockingly, “Yeah, yeah, already 28 years old and still bullying a little girl who won’t even be 16 for another three months — shameless!”

The generals also stood up, locking their eyes on the Second Prince. With a glance from Emperor Xuande, the palace guards were immediately on alert.

The envoys from Xijiang were practically trembling, hurriedly grabbing the Second Prince.

“Your Highness, sometimes you have to bow your head under a low roof! Don’t forget why we’re here — we came seeking aid from Dayong! If we secure their support, everything back home will be much easier.”

The Second Prince gritted his teeth and hissed, “But they’re going too far!”

Lin Mo heard that and immediately threw both hands into the air, shouting, “That’s because if you’re weak, you get bullied!”

Minister Lin quickly pressed her arms down: “Would you behave yourself already?! Believe me, if you don’t, I’ll be the one bullying you!”

The system whispered: [Don’t worry, if your dad holds you back, I can yell for you — If you’re weak, you get bullied! If you’re weak, you get bullied!]

Lin Mo screamed internally: [If you’re weak, you get bullied!]

Everyone who heard that line smiled knowingly. This mischievous little troublemaker was actually pretty great sometimes.

Even Emperor Xuande thought, That’s right — if you’re here seeking help, you better act humble. You can’t come swaggering in like you own the place.

At this banquet, Lin Mo managed to make the Second Prince so angry he was practically ascending into orbit.

Knowing he couldn’t do anything to her, Lin Mo just kept eating and provocatively teasing him.

Sitting directly across from the Second Prince, Lin Mo danced in her seat, flashing a bright grin:  “I’m my daddy’s biological daughter — totally 100% real!”

The Second Prince squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block her out.

Minister Lin was completely numb by now. This little brat was beyond control.

Lin Mo, meanwhile, was emboldened by the knowledge that Emperor Xuande indulged her in such small matters. Plus, the emperor had a really good temper.

(Emperor Xuande, smiling serenely: Yes, I have a very good temper.)

Maybe she got a little too carried away — Lin Mo even had a few drinks.

The system yelled: [You’re drinking again! What are you thinking drinking at a diplomatic banquet?!]

Lin Mo answered cheerfully: [Shut up! I’m having fun, and my dad’s right here. What’s there to worry about?]

The system: [I have a bad feeling about this.]

Suddenly, looking at the furious Second Prince, Lin Mo flashed a dazzling grin and called out:  “Hahaha! Your father doesn’t want you anymore! Bet you didn’t know that, huh?!”

The emperor and all the officials: ……
