Chapter 10

“Hey, are you serious? Prince? You can’t be serious, right? This is too much, right? If you stop being a playboy, wouldn’t I be the only one left in our Northern Heavens Duo?”

Feng Jun reacted and chased after him angrily. However, Fang Chen left without looking back.

“Is… is this for real? In the past, the prince couldn’t even say those words according to what he said. Why do I feel that he’s really going to be serious this time?”

Feng Jun came back to his senses and muttered to himself. Then, his expression changed as he muttered, “How can this be? If I really practice martial arts and become a peerless expert, and if I’m still a profligate, wouldn’t I be laughed at and said that I, Feng Jun, am not worthy of being called the Northern Heavens Duo with the prince?

No, absolutely not. I have to think of something to do as well. I definitely can’t embarrass the Northern Heavens Duo.”

On the other side, Fang Chen had come out of Wind and Cloud Intoxication and was waiting for his carriage to arrive. However, when he heard the commotion behind him, he turned around and saw his coachman, Old Fang, chewing on a roasted chicken.

Old Fang was shocked by Fang Chen’s sudden turn. However, when he saw Fang Chen staring at the incomplete roasted chicken in his hand, he quickly came to a realization and said, “Prince, were you not full just now? Why don’t I share my favorite chicken butt with you?”

As Old Fang spoke, he really tore up the roasted chicken.

Bang!

Fang Chen had endured Old Fang for the past two days. This time, he really couldn’t take it anymore. He kicked Old Fang’s leg and said angrily, “Eat your ass. Where’s the carriage? Your carriage sent me here. Do you want me to walk home?”

“Ah… Oh, oh, oh, I forgot. I’m really sorry, Your Highness. I haven’t done the coachman’s job for a long time and aren’t used to it. I’ll go pull the carriage now. Please wait a moment.”

Only then did Old Fang understand what Fang Chen meant. He quickly ran to get the carriage. Of course, he still held the roasted chicken in his hand and did not let go. When he ran, he did not forget to take a few bites.

“Oh my god, Father arranged such an old and unreliable person for me. If I leave the palace, can he really take care of me?”

At this moment, Fang Chen no longer thought that Old Fang was a peerless expert.

When he finally returned home, he heard from the servants in the residence that Feng Jun had given him many good things. They were all rare items from France.

“Old Fang, Dapan, I just parted on bad terms with Feng Jun. Should I not take these gifts from him? Why don’t you return them for me?”

Fang Chen saw several gift boxes in the study and asked the strange father and son with a conflicted expression.

“Prince, you and Young Master Feng got to know each other by snatching girls. Over the years, you’ve been jealous of each other. You should still be together and take his things. It’s only right and proper for you to be polite to him.” Fang quickly agreed, as if it were obvious.

“That’s right, Prince. If you accept Young Master Feng’s gift, he will spend less money. Wouldn’t restricting his spending be equivalent to stopping him from being a good-for-nothing?

In my opinion, he should have been paid for what you said to him just now. If he suddenly realized it, wouldn’t the Feng family’s master thank you?

So it’s only right that we take these things.”

Hearing this, Fang Chen instantly felt at ease.

Thus, he began to unpack the gift boxes. There were glass balls, seven-colored coral, ivory carvings, and so on. In addition, there was a small dagger decorated with gems and a box of candied fruits.

“Hehe, this Feng Jun is really not bad. I was still thinking of going far away and didn’t have anything to give to my younger siblings. Coincidentally, Feng Jun prepared a gift for me.”

Fang Chen put the glass ball and dagger in his sleeve, then grabbed a box of candied fruits and headed for his siblings in the backyard.

Soon he saw the two of them playing by the pond.

“Second Brother, catch that cricket for me. Let’s roast it and eat it!”

“Yinyin, crickets catch pests. You can’t eat them.”

“Second Brother, look, there’s an earthworm. Why don’t we eat it?”

“Yinyin, why do you only know how to eat? Other than a layer of skin, that earthworm is practically soil. Why don’t you eat soil directly?”

“Then what should I do? Yinyin is hungry again. Second Brother, you don’t know how to cook, and Father doesn’t allow me to eat other food…”

“I can’t help it. Why don’t I catch you a fish? I hear you can eat raw fish.”

“I don’t want fish, okay? I’m sick of eating fish. And eating it raw, I wouldn’t dare—”

Fang Chen listened to their conversation from afar and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Fang Ping, Yinyin, Big Brother is here to see you.”

Fang Chen strode over, clutching the box of candied fruit.

“Brother…” Fang looked excited.

“Big Brother…” Fang Yinyin pouted, looking depressed.

Fang Chen walked over and patted Fang Ping’s shoulder. He looked at the unhappy Fang Yinyin and joked, “Yinyin, what’s wrong? Why are you so unhappy to see me?”

“Hmph, Big Brother didn’t even bring me along when he went out to eat delicious food. Just now, when we were eating at home, Father didn’t even allow me to eat meat. Now, I’m so hungry…” Fang Yinyin grumbled.

“Hehe, okay. It’s Big Brother’s fault. I’ll give you a gift to apologize for.”

Fang Chen reached into his sleeve with one hand. A palm-sized, delicate brocade box appeared and he handed it to Fang Yinyin.

He also took out the jeweled dagger and gave it to Fang Ping.

“Thank you, Big Brother.” Naturally, Fang Ping loved the beautiful dagger.

However, Fang Yinyin hurriedly opened the brocade box and realized that there was only a glass ball inside. She said in disappointment, “Brother, this glass ball can’t be eaten…”

Fang Chen was speechless. Fortunately, he was prepared. He waved the inconspicuous box in his hand and pointed at the candied fruits inside. “Little Yinyin, look at this.”

“Eh, this is… candied fruits? This is something from another country, right? I’ve only heard of it before, but I’ve never seen it before.”

Fang Yinyin looked at the colorful candied fruits with all kinds of flavors and drooled. She did not want to speak at all. However, Fang Ping’s eyes lit up and he spoke uncertainly, “Hehe, it’s the candied fruit from the other countries. Big Brother got a box today and can deliver it to you.”

Fang Chen smiled and held the box forward.

“Mine, mine…”

Fang Yinyin wrapped her arms around the box and eagerly shoved it into her mouth.

Thunk.

Fang Chen looked at Fang Ping, who had just reached out and retracted his hand awkwardly. He knocked Fang Yinyin’s head and said, “Yinyin, if you continue to be so rude, I won’t let you eat anymore.”

“Ah, I… then… I’ll give Second Brother one first. The rest is mine.”

Fang Yinyin stuffed the half-eaten candied fruit in her mouth into Fang Ping’s hand. Then, she hugged the entire box of candied fruits protectively to her chest and looked at Fang Ping warily as she ate.

Fang Chen pretended to be angry. “Yinyin, if you continue to bully your second brother like this, I won’t give you any good food anymore.”

“Alright, alright. I’ll eat with Second Brother.”

Despite her reluctance, Fang Yinyin gave up the box.
