He was used to be a commoner and now as the new King of Munzhu country, ending the royal bloodline but leaving one prince from the previous royalty alive. He was described as a terrifying bloodlust craving beast-man in the battlefield and a royalty hater but if he truly hates royalty, Xiao Hua doubted he would even want to spend even a minute around the Third Prince and Long Lian outside of working hours.

To be honest, Xiao Hua believed that if the King of Munzhu treated Long Lian badly, the Third Prince was powerful enough to smack the king around.

"But of course, there will be a condition you need to fulfill! Do you accept it?" Xiao Hua challenged Tian Liang condescendingly.

Tian Liang's eyes flashed in amusement. "Sure, baby chili." He does not know why he would entertain this child, but he knows for certain that making this baby chili angry will summon a certain protective dragon to breathe poison at him!

"XiYing, do you have a bag of tea leaves?"

"Yes. XiYing will bring teapot as well~"

"No need. Erm... Long Lian, can I have some hot water and a big empty bucket?" Xiao Hua requested shyly.

"Of course," Long Lian immediately consented, her mood already brighten like the beautiful sky after the rain. She even approached to sit beside Xiao Hua.

"Thank you! Erm, actually, just bring a bucket full of hot water will do."

"Tang Mei."

"Yes, Princess!" Tang Mei hurried to get what Xiao Hua needed.

"Oh? Baby chili, you want me to brew tea for you?" Tian Liang asked, his submissive attitude from earlier completely vanished. He dislikes seeing his girl ignoring him for another person, even if that baby chili poses no threat to him.

"To have a King brew a tea for me, this servant can't accept it. Moreover, this servant would feel better to drink my own brew."

"Xiao Hua, you are no longer a servant anymore," Long Lian chastised. "You are now Great Doctor Bai's daughter and your status is more or equal to the King of Munzhu."

Xiao Hua: '...' Ah Lian did not notice my sarcasm? I laid it pretty thick though...?

"Being Doctor Bais' daughter is equal to a King's status is pretty hard to believe," Xiao Hua said.

Long Lian shook her head. "You have no idea how revered everyone in Four Kingdoms is towards Doctor Bai, don't you? Even Father Emperor had to give Doctor Bai some respect. That's how influential and valuable Doctor Bai is."

Xiao Hua: Seems like the thigh I managed to cling onto is pretty expensive!

Tang Mei returned with two wooden buckets that were normally used to fill water for a bath. One was empty and another was filled with hot water. She also brought along a ladle despite Xiao Hua had not requested for it.

"Xiao Hua, what are you going to do with them?" Long Lian questioned curiously.

Xiao Hua stood up and takes the bag filled with tea leaves from Duan XiYing. "Brew tea."

She gleefully tossed more than a handful of tea leaves into the bucket filled with water and used the ladle to stir it around until the water slowly turned into light brown color. Finished, she turned to Tian Liang and pointed the ladle at the bucket.

"Drink it all is my condition. Not even a single drop is allowed to escape!"

The King of Munzhu will be sticking around Long Lian for a long period, so it would certainly give her a peace of mind if the heroine's cheat to have him auto fall in love with her was neutralized.

Tian Liang stared at the bucket in horror. "That's disgusting! That's not the way to brew tea!" Her method was the same as throwing tea leaves into the cup before pouring hot water on it and declared it ready to be served! That was an idiot way of brewing!

Xiao Hua coughed, a little embarrassed as she herself would be reluctant to drink it, but at that time she only thinks of a way to brew a large volume of tea for him to drink without considering little problems.

However, she had already brewed the tea and her embarrassment refused to let her admit her fault in front of this gangster-like man. She used the ladle to scoop some tea and pushed it towards Tian Liang. "Drink it all or give up on Long Lian."

"Who are you to decide things for Long Lian?" Tian Liang's eyes flashed with annoyance.

"I am her best friend! She also likes me more than you!" Xiao Hua shamelessly boasted yet does not dare to look at Long Lian. "I'm also the Third Prince's favorite. I can easily ask him to stop you from meeting Long Lian!"

"You-"

Xiao Hua, the death seeker, used that opportunity to shove the ladle right into Tian Liang's open mouth, nearly choking him in the process.

Long Lian: '...' Xiao Hua learned quite a bit of bad habit from the Third brother...
