Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 228 - 228: Provocation



“Impossible!” Bai Zhi exclaimed.

Yang Ye, who had been stunned, was pulled back to reality by her exclamation. He crafted a slight smile on his lips, put his hands behind his back, and started walking towards the carriage.

As he thought, Qiao Xiaomai was playing a game of feigned indifference.

She had intentionally rejected him before, and now she was dressed so eye-catchingly, clearly desiring to attract his attention.

This game of push and pull, of suppression and stimulation, this little country girl was really playing him. Well, he would reluctantly accede to her wishes and pay more attention to her!

“Miss Qiao, this way please.” The coachman said to Qiao Xiaomai, “Nearly everyone has arrived, His Highness Prince Wei is over there, you should greet him first.”

Qiao Xiaomai followed the direction the coachman pointed to see Yang Ye approaching. She lightly responded with an affirmation, and then followed behind the coachman.

Child Sanlang walked behind her, carrying a basket and a jar.

His purpose for coming today was not merely for the protection of Qiao Xiaomai, but also to act as a helper.

And soon, the trio reached where Yang Ye was standing.

Yang Ye’s beautiful phoenix eyes scanned Qiao Xiaomai from head to toe.

Standing so close to her, the visual impact was even greater.

Her petite face was round and fair, perfectly so.

Her eyelashes were long and thick, like little fans.

Her lightly blushed lips, made him unconsciously think of a ripe peach.

Her features hadn’t changed, but the impact they now had was astounding. It was as though she’d eaten an Immortal Elixir!

Although his heart stirred a mighty wave, Yang Ye showed no sign of this outwardly. Instead, he commented, “Oh, looking like this, others might think that you’re here to join the beauty pageant.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai, her eyes still cast downwards, replied, “I need to do justice to the numerous spectators. A simple hemp robe would be too coarse.”

On hearing this, the smile on Yang Ye’s handsome face grew wider, “Indeed.”

A beauty ought to dress in beautiful clothes, so as not to waste her attractive looks.

“What a surprise, who would have thought that a small village could hide such a polished sparrow.” Bai Zhi arrived at this moment and couldn’t contain her mockery upon hearing Yang Ye’s comments.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai’s expression did not change.

However, her inner seif let out a heavy sigh of satisfaction.

Good, she had successfully angered Bai Zhi. This meant her dressing up was worth it.

“Sparrow or not, mind your status. As a dignified princess, where are your manners?” Yang Ye was mildly displeased.

An awe-inspiring flame being compared to a mere colored sparrow, what a mood killer!

Bai Zhi’s face paled slightly, her fists clenched.

Manners, the word carried such a weight to it.

She glared at Qiao Xiaomai, then turned to look at Yang Ye.

“Brother Ye, since everyone’s here, you should announce the start of the competition.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Ye’s gaze moved around the martial arts training ground and then he said, “Alright, you two follow me.”

“Brother Ye, you go up first. The contestants should be introduced one by one.” Bai Zhi’s eyes flicked towards Qiao Xiaomai, a malicious smile on her lips.

She had been too careless. She hadn’t expected a plain mouse to evolve into a colored sparrow.

Heh, even in front of a real phoenix, a mouse will always be a mouse!

Yang Ye wasn’t sure what Bai Zhi was planning, but he warned, “No mischief.”

“I promise there will be no mischief.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Ye gave her an extended look before he turned to Qiao Xiaomai, “Wait here for now. When the prince calls you up, you can get on the platform.”

Qiao Xiaomai complied with a respectful response.

Yang Ye’s gaze moved between her and Bai Zhi one more time before he strode onto the stage.

By this time, everyone had arrived and the judges were seated. He spoke a few words, and then announced, “Now, let’s welcome the princess to the stage.”

As his words fell, there was an eruption of applause from the martial arts training ground.

Quite a few people turned their heads to look.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi’s smile broadened. She glanced at Qiao Xiaomai, and with her delicately embroidered shoes lightly touching the ground, she darted towards the stage, graceful as a butterfly.

The wind flicked through her hair and rustled her skirt, adding to her elegance.

Her body twirled a few times in mid-air, her black hair and white dress making her seem like a celestial being. She landed near Yang Ye.

She raised her chin slightly, ignoring the even louder applause, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qiao Xiaomai.

Her gaze was challenging.

A mouse could disguise itself as a sparrow but it wouldn’t be able to fly. So what it if was colored?

It would still have to crawl on the ground..
