My wife is a witch princess.

"Learn it yourself?" Song Che looked at her. "No one will be watching you. If you fall, no one will care. If you bump into something, no one will help you. Especially since you have no sense of the risks, you'll cause trouble if you act recklessly."

“I won’t do anything reckless,” Xia Li said. “I’ll observe first. I’ll see how others do it… If Jiang Shuo can’t skate, we can learn from our friends.”

She spoke eloquently and persuasively.

She has changed a lot from the previous prince. The previous Xia Li would never have used the word "friend".

Song Che recalled how she learned computers; it was indeed like that—observe, analyze, and then take action, quickly and accurately.

“We can consider it, but the ski resort probably won’t allow it.” Song Che paused. “The ski resort has rules that beginners can’t go on intermediate or advanced slopes. Besides, you can’t tell a lot of techniques just by looking. We can just ski around for fun first… without comparing ourselves to the professional skiers, we can find a slope and ski while sitting down.”

Xia Li suddenly pointed at the screen and asked.

Which one do you like?

"Which one do you like?" Song Che didn't understand. There was a big smiley face on the screen, smiling happily, but Song Che didn't like it.

She continued, "Speed, wind, and...the feeling of being out of control."

Song Che paused for a moment, then understood what he meant.

“Maybe both,” he said. “My daily life is too routine. Sometimes I want to try to lose control, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop once I really lose control.”

“Controllable loss of control,” Xia Li said.

“Yes.” Song Che smiled. “That’s exactly what I mean.”

The video finished playing and automatically jumped to the next one. This time it was a food preparation video, with a close-up of kneading dough.

He kept scrolling, and saw a pretty young woman doing a suggestive dance. Song Che glanced at her for a second longer, then continued scrolling.

The next one is also a pretty young lady.

Song Che closed the page.

He turned his head and glanced at Xia Li.

The silver-haired girl looked at him. "Why aren't you looking anymore?"

"I'm tired of looking at it."

"Oh," Xia Li suddenly said, "If it snows, can we go?"

Song Che thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's play together when it snows. What I just said is pretty standard. If we're just playing, we don't need to go through the hassle of finding an instructor or anything."

"Mm." Xia Li nodded.

"But if we want to have a lot of fun, we'll have to buy protective gear." Song Che started to plan. "A helmet is a must, as are knee pads, wrist guards, and hip pads... We'll also have to rent clothes. Ski suits are waterproof, because our own clothes get wet as soon as they get wet in the snow."

"Will it cost a lot of money?" Xia Li asked.

"It's not that much," Song Che reassured Xia Li.

Xia Li turned her head and said, "Then I'll earn this money. I should be able to earn enough for skiing by 'farming' in the game."

Song Chele said, "Okay, do more knife drills."

"Xia Li said seriously, 'You said that once you're skilled, you can earn some money a day.'"

"Yes, you can give me the money you earn later, and I'll pay you back." Song Che was prepared to pay for it out of his own pocket. The main thing was to make Xia Li happy; the money was secondary.

“We can start with the gentlest slope,” Xia Li said. “You’ve watched a lot of videos and know the theory. My observation and balance are pretty good. We can watch each other and try slowly.”

Song Che could tell that she was genuinely considering this matter. This princess was actually quite a homebody, but now she was preparing to go out and see the world.

“Looking at each other…” Song Che imagined the scene.

He and Xia Li, two novices, wore bulky rented clothes and wobbled along the beginner slope on unruly boards. When one of them fell, the other would help him up; when the other fell, the other would support him. There were probably even kids gliding past them.

They're like little idiots.

It's a bit silly, but it seems... kind of interesting.

“Okay,” he said finally. “Let’s figure it out together.”

"Mmm," Xia Li replied.

She stopped mentioning it.

But Song Che knew that she had remembered it.

He should write that down too.

Tao Xiang came out of the kitchen again, this time carrying a small bowl containing washed fruit.

"Want some?" she asked, handing it to me.

Song Che took one.

Xia Li also took one and slowly peeled it.

"Were you just talking about skiing?" Momoka sat down on the small stool next to her. "I want to go too."

"Didn't you just say you have a poor sense of balance?" Song Che asked.

“That’s my older sister,” Momoka said matter-of-factly. “I’m not human anymore. How bad can a yokai’s sense of balance be?”

Song Che thought about it and realized that it made sense; she wasn't human.

"Then what were you going to do?" he asked, "roll all the way down the mountain?"

“I can fly,” Tao Xiang said. “If I really fall, I’ll just turn back into my original form, flap around a few times, and get up again. Maybe I can even carry you guys for a while.”

Song Che imagined the scene: on the ski slope, a chubby cat carrying two people in its mouth skimmed low over the ground, leaving the surrounding tourists dumbfounded.

Damn it, cats can't fly!

"Forget it," he said. "You'd better not go. I'm afraid you'll be arrested like a rare animal."

Tao Xiang scoffed and went to eat her fruit while holding her bowl.

After Xia Li finished eating, she took out a tissue to wipe her hands.

She looked out the window.

Will it snow?

"The forecast said it might happen after the New Year." Song Che glanced at the forecast as well, "but I don't think it will be much worse; it'll melt as soon as it hits the ground."

"If I had magic... I could make it snow and play in the snow." Xia Li still misses the days when she had magic, making a blizzard for Nan Hui, and then playing in the snow!

Tao Xiang wandered back again, "Want some beef jerky? It's the last pack."

Chapter 107 Tao Yao has always said she is the Fox King since she was little

The beef jerky was really delicious, and Tao Xiang couldn't resist finishing it all, clutching the packaging and grinning like an idiot.

She knew she was probably doomed.

What can we do now?

There's no good way to deal with this except pretending to be stupid.

"I saved a pack specifically for the two of you. It's not because I was full that I remembered you hadn't eaten... I, Tao Xiang, never lie." Tao Xiang felt she was indeed wrong, terribly wrong. When they were dividing the food, Song Che clearly favored Xia Li. She ate all the good stuff, so she was definitely out of luck.

Tao Xiang tried to explain for a long time, but Song Che and Xia Li completely ignored her. They were figuring out how to ski, and Song Che was explaining key terms to Xia Li. Xia Li listened attentively and didn't even notice that there was only one pack of beef jerky left.

Since that's the case...

Tears silently streamed down Tao Xiang's face; she could only accept them with a forced smile.

Since it's a capital offense anyway, at worst Song Che and Xia Li can both spank her.

She was beaten since she was a child, so she's very tough. Last time Song Che kicked her, she didn't feel anything at all.

Tao Xiang had a lot on her mind. Her chubby face would puff out her cheeks one moment and frown the next. After reflecting for a long time, she secretly took a few things from the shopping bag and stuffed them into her mouth.

Click, click—

With its puffed-out cheeks, it was eating with great relish.

When she stopped sneaking a bite, Song Che's voice sounded a little muffled, and Xia Li also got up from her seat, as if they had argued about something.

Tao Xiang couldn't understand the adults' argument, but she thought they were a bit stupid and should eat more to grow stronger. She thought the kitchen was a good place and the refrigerator was a good thing.

Song Che said with a straight face, "Let me make this clear first, you'd better calm down. It's better for both of us. Otherwise, think about your identity and don't lose your dignity just to seek thrills."

“I’m not looking for thrills, I just want to see if it would look weird if you touched my leg.”

"I already said I would, it's just shyness, there's nothing to see." Song Che said with a dark face. Touching legs is usually a good thing, but Xia Li made it seem abnormal. She made it like she was researching a magic potion... It was meaningless, not the kind of ambiguity that couples should have. She just wanted to study Song Che's shyness.

That despicable woman!

Song Che maintained a straight face.

Even if I, Song Che, am like this for the rest of my life, I will never let Xia Li study how to be shy.

This should have been a natural, heartfelt affair, but Xia Li made it seem like a mission, being too blunt... She wasn't embarrassed, but Song Che was.

I can't figure out what's wrong with Xia Li.

She got up, sat on the sofa, and stretched out her leg. "I won't hit you, you can touch my leg."

Damn it, I don't need charity!

Song Che glanced at the shapely calves, restrained himself, but couldn't resist touching them.

He really couldn't figure out what Xia Li was thinking, so he touched her first.

Xia Li looked down at Song Che.

Just as the magic mirror said, even Song Che couldn't resist the temptation of legs.

She shifted her gaze, wanting to verify her thoughts, but Song Che was extremely cautious and immediately noticed that Xia Li's gaze was off.

What are you looking at?

“…Me.” After being discovered, Xia Li looked away. “I was looking at your face.”

Is it really a face?

Song Che let go and realized that there was really nothing to touch about the legs. They were soft, but through the pants, he couldn't feel the skin, so the sensation was much worse. He also felt that Xia Li had ill intentions.

Is she seducing me?

You're joking, Your Highness would never do such a thing.
