Chapter Seventeen: Abao, Forced to Become a Follower

As for Bai Nianxuan’s threat, Aba didn’t take it seriously at all. How could he be afraid of a little brat?

“Mendi would never listen to you and beat me up!” Aba sensed the malicious intent behind her words—she was trying to sow discord between him and Mendi.

“This prince is only putting up with you for the sake of my royal sister. Otherwise, I wouldn’t stoop to your level!”

At his words, Bai Nianxuan replied, “Did you really think I’d ask Mendi to beat you?”

“Come on, I’m the boss now. If I want to beat you, I’ll do it myself!”

As soon as Bai Nianxuan finished speaking, Aba felt her action. Her tiny hand reached for his cheek.

Just before she succeeded, Aba took several steps back, avoiding her attempt to pinch his face.

Realizing Bai Nianxuan’s move, Aba was furious and embarrassed.

This awful girl.

Day after day, she did nothing proper—only came to bully him.

Dodging Bai Yue’s attack, Aba’s hand produced a heavy purple sword, his weapon—the Purple Dragon Heaven-Shaker Sword.

A miniature golden longsword appeared in Bai Nianxuan’s hand, and as the Purple Dragon Heaven-Shaker Sword clashed with the Radiant Dragon Sword, dazzling light burst from both.

Witnessing this, even Bai Yue, who had intended to take sides, frowned deeply.

This was no joke.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Bai Yue intervened.

Bai Nianxuan dodged Bai Yue’s attack and landed a strike on Aba. The powerful radiance of her sword struck near him, but Aba blocked it with his heavy purple blade.

“Your Highness!”

Bei Qing and Huang Ze hurriedly separated them.

If these two were injured, they’d be the ones in trouble.

For Bai Yue’s sake, His Majesty might spare Bai Nianxuan from harsh punishment, but the two of them would not be so lucky.

“Baby Dragon!”

Bai Nianxuan’s body suddenly couldn’t move, so she resorted to taunting Aba, hoping to enrage him.

She loved seeing Aba hopping mad.

“If you say that again, I’ll give you a nickname too!”

Aba’s blue eyes sparkled as he glared at Bai Nianxuan.

“What kind of nickname could you possibly give me?”

Bai Nianxuan found it hilarious. “If you come up with a nickname related to my name, I’ll accept it. If not, you’ll be my little brother.”

“Deal!”

“…”

Huang Ze and Bei Qing fell silent.

Mendi stared wide-eyed at Bai Nianxuan.

Bai Yue smiled gently; she hadn’t expected Aba to be so proud.

A little provocation and he agreed.

As expected, dealing with Aba required cunning. Force would never make him submit, but his wits couldn’t match up.

“Alright.”

“It’s a promise.”

Taking the opportunity, Bei Qing released her and breathed a sigh of relief.

This little troublemaker…

Huang Ze did the same, while Aba stood in place, pondering.

How should he nickname Bai Nianxuan?

That hateful girl!

“Bai…”

Aba froze. “I can’t think of anything.”

He considered Bai Fool, Bai Annoying… none of them were fitting.

He thought for ages, but couldn’t come up with a nickname that met the requirements.

It had to be related to Bai Nianxuan’s name.

So frustrating.

“Oh, hey.”

Bai Nianxuan walked right up to him, grinning, and held out her hand. “Baby Dragon, from now on, you’re my little brother. Call me Boss Bai.”

“A bet’s a bet!”

Aba’s expression was terrible. “My name is Aba, don’t call me Baby Dragon!”

“Doesn’t matter. I’m your boss, so hurry and call me boss.”

Bai Nianxuan pretended not to hear his protest. “Call me Boss Bai. A promise is a promise—you can’t go back on your word.”

“No, if you want me to truly accept you as boss, you have to beat me first!”

“If you beat me, you’re my boss.”

No sooner had Aba spoken than Bai Nianxuan pounced on him. Before he could react, she had tackled him to the ground. Her soft body pressed against his, and Aba’s face flushed red.

“Bai Nianxuan!”

“Ahhh!”

Aba shouted furiously, “Don’t you have any sense of modesty as a girl? Are you so eager for me to call you boss and be your little brother?”

He had never met such shamelessness!

Damn it!

How did the Temple Alliance educate their children?

“Baby Dragon, you’re clueless. I’m your boss—little brothers don’t call their boss by name!”

Bai Nianxuan pinned him down, preventing him from struggling, then reached out to pinch his cheek. “Call me Boss Bai, quickly.”

“From now on, Boss Bai will look after you.”

Facing Bai Nianxuan, who was no better than a female thug, Aba’s composure collapsed.

Especially when her annoying hand stroked his face, the fire in his blue eyes blazed.

“Bai…”

“Boss.”

Aba clenched his jaw, speaking unwillingly.

“Good, good, good!”

Upon hearing it, Bai Nianxuan released his cheek and pushed herself upright.

Under Aba’s furious gaze, Bai Nianxuan said softly, “I’m your boss—why would I need modesty?”

“From now on, you and Little Flute are both my little brothers. You must obey Boss.”

“With Boss Bai protecting you, no one can bully you.”

“You…”

Aba wanted to retort, but the peculiar sensation on his cheek silenced him.

He wasn’t dealing with a normal person, but a brat with a screw loose!

And this brat always played by her own rules, driving him mad!

That word ‘boss’ had cost Aba dearly.

He, a proud prince of the Demon Dragon Clan, had become the little brother of a human. Was this the collapse of morality or the distortion of human nature?

Aba’s expression grew uglier.

He could already foresee his miserable future.

If this little thing didn’t leave the demon clan, his days would be chaotic.

Aba’s resentful gaze suddenly fell on Mendi.

This guy’s sudden betrayal had caught him off guard.

“Your Highness.”

Mendi smiled lightly. “Don’t you find this amusing?”

“Amusing, my foot.”

Aba pouted in displeasure. “This prince becoming a human’s little brother—how can I keep my dignity?”

“But if you don’t become Boss Bai’s little brother, you’ll lose even more face.”

Mendi was far more accepting than Aba and had already acknowledged Bai Nianxuan as boss.

“…”

Aba’s mouth twitched. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Bai Nianxuan watching them.

“What are you doing? Don’t think just because I called you boss, you can walk all over me.”

Aba spoke unhappily.

His lifetime of glory had been destroyed by this brat Bai Nianxuan!

“Hehe, Baby Dragon, Little Flute.”

Bai Nianxuan grinned foolishly at them. “Since I’m your boss, I owe you a welcoming gift.”

“What?”

Aba and Mendi spoke in unison, their eyes puzzled.

Then Bai Nianxuan plucked some purple and blue flowers from the flowerbed and quickly wove them into wreaths.

“Come, let me put these on you.”

“…”
