The sudden slap caught her off guard, and she endured it without any reaction.
Due to Luo Bingbing's speed, it wasn't until she had delivered three slaps to Luo Cai Feng and returned to her seat that everyone, including the slapped Luo Cai Feng and the princess and guards standing beside her, reacted.
The first to respond was the princess, who, seeing her beloved daughter's face being slapped in front of her, felt an overwhelming rage. She immediately ordered all the guards in the courtyard to capture Luo Bingbing, regardless of the consequences.
Upon hearing this, the Nursemaid rushed over and positioned herself in front of Luo Bingbing, trying to protect her. The guards in the courtyard, having received the princess's command, attempted to encircle Luo Bingbing to capture her. However, before they could form a complete circle, Luo Bingbing activated her Wind Ability. With a gentle wave of her hand, everyone in the courtyard except for the Nursemaid was immobilized.
Luo Bingbing sat motionless in her chair, a slight smirk playing on her lips as she revealed a mischievous smile. Her lively eyes sparkled with an eerie light.
The Nursemaid was bewildered by the situation; they were about to charge at them, yet they suddenly stopped. Their stances were bizarre—some stood on one leg, others raised their hands, some leaned forward while others were upside down, and a few even fell from mid-air. Since the Nursemaid was positioned in front of Luo Bingbing, she had no idea that Luo Bingbing had waved her hand and was unaware that the cause of these strange postures was the very Young Mistress she was determined to protect.
Confused, she suddenly thought of her Young Mistress behind her and quickly turned to embrace her. Unbeknownst to her, she was still able to move freely while everyone else remained frozen. After checking Luo Bingbing thoroughly for injuries and finding none, the Nursemaid finally felt relieved.
After seating Luo Bingbing properly in the chair, she asked those around her, "What happened to you?"
But those around her could neither speak nor move; they couldn't answer her question. She then nervously turned to the distant princess and asked, "Princess, what is wrong with you?"
Yet the princess also could not speak or move and could not respond. At that moment, the princess felt immense fear and could only blink desperately at the Nursemaid for help. However, in the dim light of night, the Nursemaid couldn't see her blinking.
Seeing no one respond to her question left the Nursemaid feeling helpless. She turned to Luo Bingbing and said, "Little Princess, what should we do? They aren't responding or moving at all. Should I go call someone for help?"
"Where would you go to call someone? Who would you call?" Luo Bingbing asked.
"This..." The Nursemaid had no answers for either of Luo Bingbing's questions. It wasn't that she was unwilling to answer; rather, she genuinely didn't know how to respond. After all, who could she call when even the ruler of the palace—the princess—was present?
Noticing the Nursemaid's worried and fearful expression, Luo Bingbing reassured her: "Nursemaid, don't worry or be afraid; they are fine. They just can't speak or move for now."
Upon hearing this from Luo Bingbing, the Nursemaid asked, "Little Princess, how do you know they are fine? And how can you be so sure? Could it be that you caused them to be like this?" After asking this question, the Nursemaid's mouth hung open in shock.
Hearing that their condition was only temporary brought relief to those around them; their expressions lightened considerably.
Before the Nursemaid could close her mouth again, Luo Bingbing gave her a calm nod in affirmation.
At this moment, the Nursemaid's heart was unsettled. She turned to Luo Bingbing and said, "Little Princess, did you really make them like this? When did you become so powerful?"
"Nursemaid, just trust me and follow my lead. Don't worry about anything else," Luo Bingbing replied.
Seeing everyone in the courtyard turned into wooden stakes, the Nursemaid couldn't help but ask, "What should we do now?"
"Since they dared to come to my courtyard to cause trouble, they must bear the consequences. Let them stand for a while and enjoy the unique mosquito bath. I'm considering when to release them."
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, some were happy while others were worried. The guards and servants were relieved that their nicknames were finally safe, while the princess and her beloved daughter, Luo Cai Feng, along with the maids, felt mixed emotions—happy that their lives were spared but worried about how their appearances would fare after being bitten by mosquitoes. However, no matter how much they worried, it was futile; at this moment, there was nothing they could do but await their fate.
In the vast royal residence, only the princess and Madam Xiang from Fragrant Pavilion had any say in matters. With such a commotion happening here, Fragrant Pavilion had naturally received news long ago.
Inside Fragrant Pavilion, a gentle breeze wafted through as the full moon hung high in the night sky, its soft light sneaking in through the window. The yellow curtains fluttered in the wind. On the other side of the gauzy drapes, sitting before a bronze mirror was a captivating beauty meticulously applying her makeup. This person was Madam Xiang of Fragrant Pavilion. She had already instructed her daughter and son not to go out and to ignore whatever happened outside; she had also sent someone to keep watch. She hoped for a fierce conflict so that she could benefit even more.
The starry sky sparkled as the full moon cast a gentle silver light over the earth, draping it in a silvery veil.
Seeing that the princess and her companions were still standing in the courtyard, the Nursemaid found it impossible to sleep. She went to find Luo Bingbing, hoping she would release them; after all, it was getting late. Upon entering the inner chamber and seeing Luo Bingbing lying on her bed reading, she said, "Little Princess, it's so late now; could you let them go? You should rest early too!"
Luo Bingbing glanced at the Nursemaid and nodded.
"Alright, let's go!" Luo Bingbing said as she took the Nursemaid's hand and walked toward the courtyard.
In front of the princess and her companions, Luo Bingbing spoke up: "How does it feel? I advise you not to entertain any ill thoughts; every one of your thoughts is within my grasp. If anything happens again that displeases me, it won't just be turning into wooden stakes; you'll be meeting Yama directly. As long as I and Nursemaid are well, everyone will be safe. Otherwise, I will make her vanish like that tree." With that, Luo Bingbing pointed casually at a nearby tree which instantly ignited into flames and disappeared without a trace.
The Nursemaid looked at Luo Bingbing in disbelief. How did she do that? Just a point of her finger caused that tree to spontaneously combust and vanish completely.
Those around them were astonished and frightened by this scene; they all thought simultaneously that this little girl’s powers were so formidable that they needed to keep their distance from her and never provoke her.
Once fear takes root in one's heart, it grows gradually—sometimes nudging you lightly—yet it leaves an indelible mark. Clearly, this was exactly what Luo Bingbing wanted.
With a wave of her hand, everyone’s restraints were lifted. "I don't want to hear anyone gossiping. Alright, everyone can go back now!"
Hearing they could leave, everyone hurriedly ran out, fearing they would be left behind or that she might change her mind. The princess and her beloved daughter led the way. Throughout it all, aside from the Nursemaid holding onto Luo Bingbing, no one dared to look up at the Little One even once.
In a short while, the courtyard became empty, leaving only Luo Bingbing and the Nursemaid standing there. Luo Bingbing looked at the Nursemaid and asked, "Nursemaid, do you think I'm scary?"
"No, Little Princess has just grown up and become stronger. No one dares to bully you anymore. The Nursemaid is just happy! How could I be scared?" The Nursemaid suppressed her doubts deep down and replied with a smile.
Seeing the Nursemaid's expression, Luo Bingbing felt very satisfied. "Let's go back to the room and sleep!" She knew the Nursemaid was still puzzled, but she didn't want to elaborate.
In the middle of the night, after the Nursemaid fell asleep, Luo Bingbing quietly got up and went to the Purple Bamboo Forest outside the city to practice. Shadowless had been sent to investigate the whereabouts of the Heartless Zither and had not returned yet, so she was practicing alone in the Purple Bamboo Forest tonight. With Shadowless absent, she focused on enhancing her Ability.
The bamboo forest was filled with a faint fragrance, and a gentle breeze rustled through the trees, creating pleasant sounds. In this tranquil space, Luo Bingbing quickly merged with nature, as energy elements floating in the air surged into her body one after another.
As darkness quietly faded away, dawn was approaching. When the eastern sky began to lighten, Luo Bingbing opened her eyes. She knew her Ability had leveled up again, surpassing her previous life’s level and reaching White Level, just one step away from the ultimate pinnacle of Gold Level.
Feeling very happy, she looked up at the sky and spoke to herself, "Mommy, can you see? I've finally reached the level you hoped for—White Level."
When her heart returned to calmness, she stood up and prepared to head back. However, after taking a few steps, she sensed someone rushing towards her from behind. Not wanting anyone to disturb this serene environment, she halted her steps and set up an invisible barrier around her. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a bloodied figure drifting toward her. Initially intending to ignore it, upon realizing it was Shadowless, she immediately changed her mind and flashed to his side.
While investigating the whereabouts of the Heartless Zither, Shadowless encountered a more powerful opponent and was severely injured. Afterward, he ran into members of the Assassin Alliance who began chasing him relentlessly. Unable to fight them off, he fled. Knowing that his master would be practicing here at this time, he rushed over. However, due to Luo Bingbing's barrier, he couldn't find either the training location or Luo Bingbing.
Suddenly, he felt himself collide with someone and thought it was a member of the Assassin Alliance coming for him. He immediately drew his blade to counterattack but hadn’t even made his move before hearing Luo Bingbing's voice.
