Chapter 821: 418 White Arm

"Good."

Li Ang nodded to indicate he understood, then got up and got off the carriage.

At the lady-in-waiting's request, he put on an outer robe and pulled up the hood, covering most of his face, then walked into the "Golden Vanilla" restaurant by the road and found the private room booked by the Princess in advance.

Really... having to be so mysterious just to eat a meal, making it like an underground party meeting...

After complaining about the Princess's weird dinner invitation style, the hungry Li Ang took off his outer robe, sat in the private room that had been carefully tidied up, and waited patiently for his dining companion to arrive.

However, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes... a full forty minutes passed, and the Princess, who claimed she would definitely arrive within fifteen minutes, still didn't have a shadow.

And Li Ang, who had slept for a whole day after returning home in the morning and hadn't eaten since noon yesterday, was truly so hungry that his eyes were almost turning green.

Better order something to eat first...

Unable to wait any longer, Li Ang asked the waiter for a menu, preparing to eat something to pad his stomach. However, after seeing the prices marked on the menu, he decisively gave up the idea of ordering and asked for two glasses of water instead.

There was no way. Although cleanup personnel were considered a "high-paying profession," he couldn't afford this consumption. But he had only received two months of salary so far, and he had to pay rent, tuition, buy furniture, pay for Anna's conditioning medicine, buy cigarettes for the unlucky Black Goat...

After calculating all the expenses, the balance wasn't much. Plus, Anna, who managed the accounts at home, had been sent out of the capital by him. If he ordered and the Princess didn't come, then the week before Anna returned would be very difficult.

Really... I just repelled an evil god who tried to invade reality yesterday, and yet I can't even bear to eat a good meal. I have to ask the Director for another field allowance when I go back.

After pinching his wallet, which was painfully empty, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head and stood up, preparing to leave the private room and find a cheaper place to fill his stomach. However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the private room.

"Li Ang?"

After hurriedly pushing open the door of the private room and looking at Li Ang, who hadn't left yet, the dusty Princess breathed a sigh of relief and said with a face full of guilt:

"Something came up just now and delayed me. Sorry, you've been waiting for a long time, right?"

"It's okay, I estimate I'd have to wait a few more hours before I starve to death..."

After responding unhappily, looking at the Princess, who was full of weariness and whose elbow was faintly oozing a bit of blood, Li Ang hesitated slightly and asked with surprise:

"Weren't you meeting with the Prime Minister? How did you get so miserable?"

"Because I was plotted against..."

Hearing Li Ang's question, the Princess couldn't help but smile bitterly and said helplessly:

"Recently, the Minister of National Defense and I have been pushing for the selection of military officers, trying to gradually replace those officers in the colonel, captain, and sergeant levels who were promoted based on family background."

"The proposal for this selection order was originally prepared by me to be submitted at the parliament in a few days, but it was leaked in advance. And what was leaked wasn't just this matter, but even my schedule for today."

"Then, those officers who were worried about being replaced were instigated by people with ulterior motives and united to block me outside the Prime Minister's residence. The patrol guard should have also been greeted, and no one stopped them along the way."

"They blocked the residence, not only throwing stones inside but also almost crashing through the guard and rushing in. I barely managed to run out, and my arm was smashed and broken at that time."

Ah this... no wonder eating a meal is like being a thief. It seems the Princess's life is not easy either...

Looking at the Princess, who was sweating from running and whose elbow was still bleeding, Li Ang's resentment reduced slightly. He took out the 【Infection-Dyeing Blood Band】 from the Mirror World and said with a hint of sympathy in his eyes:

"Looking at your wound, you'll likely have a scar later. Do you want me to help you treat it?"

"Yes! Of course!"

After looking at Li Ang's expression, Princess Veronica curled her lips, sat down beside Li Ang with a smile, pulled up her sleeve to reveal her snow-white arm, leaned her injured elbow over, and said coquettishly:

"Li Ang, fortunately, you are here~"

"..."

I feel like you are setting me up again...

Looking at the Princess, who was looking at him with reliance, with stars seemingly flashing in her eyes, Li Ang felt a slight numbness on the top of his head and said unhappily:

"Stop pretending! If you rushed over from the Prime Minister's residence, it would take at least twenty minutes on the carriage. You would have had time to treat the wound and tie a bandage on the carriage, right?"

"That's because I was in a hurry to see you~"

The Princess, who wasn't embarrassed even after her feigned misery was seen through, responded with a smile while holding up her white arm:

"You and I are both very busy usually. It's rare to have some free time. Of course, we should gather as much as we can when we have time, otherwise, what if our husband-and-wife relationship fades?"

"..."

No... I haven't even gotten married, where did our husband-and-wife relationship come from? Did we borrow it from the Heaven and Earth Bank?

Li Ang rolled his eyes upon hearing this, then grabbed the white arm that was shaking in front of him, wanting to wrap the 【Infection-Dyeing Blood Band】 around it.

However, as soon as the Princess's soft and greasy arm was in his hand, the cold and soft touch, as if wrapped in a pool of water, made him slightly stunned, and his right hand couldn't help but pinch it lightly.

"Hmm..."

Seeming to be affected by Li Ang's movement, Princess Veronica let out a soft hum, and her two beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly.

And Li Ang, who realized what he had done, had a slightly red face, then wrapped the bandage somewhat hurriedly, even accidentally wrapping his own fingertip in it a little.

"Done."

After hurriedly activating the effect of the 【Infection-Dyeing Blood Band】 to heal the wound on the Princess's arm, Li Ang avoided her eyes slightly and untied the bandage. However, the white arm didn't withdraw but suddenly lifted up and rubbed softly against the corner of his lips.

"?"

Feeling the warm and soft touch at the corner of his lips, Li Ang was stunned, then hurriedly pushed away the arm that was handed over, frowned, and glared back.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing~"

After glancing at Li Ang's slightly red ears, Princess Veronica blinked, covered her mouth with her hand, and smiled:

"You were looking so intently just now, I thought you liked it~"

"I'm not interested!"

"You pinched it too."

"..."

"Do you want to pinch it again? If you want, you can continue~ I don't mind~"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, then I'll take it as you..."

"Order the food quickly! I'm starving to death!"

"Hmm, I'll listen to you~"

After pushing the stand with the menu over, looking at the Princess's smiling face, Li Ang wished he could split the ground on the spot and drill into it, never to come out again.

Damn! Really... why can't I control this hand!

Hehe, got you!

Looking at Li Ang, who was still full of resentment when she first arrived, but now subconsciously turned his head and didn't dare to look at her, the Princess smiled triumphantly, covered her arm with her sleeve, and picked up the menu standing by the table with a dignified manner.

After teasing him, she had to let go a little; she couldn't keep doing it. After all, although the little man had a tender face, his temper wasn't small. If she teased him too much like last time, he would bite! ===== CHAPTER 822 =====
