Chapter 107 - Do You Dare To Accept My Challenge? (5)
"All the more reason for you to stay. The more you watch, the better you will be able to appreciate it." n.o.ble Consort Xu forced a smile and tried to convince them to stay. The show hasn"t started yet, so how can I let them leave so easily?
"Xue"er, let"s stay for a while!" Leng Qingtian finally spoke.
"Yes, Grandpa." Leng Ruoxue acted like a well-behaved child. She wanted to see what trick this mother and daughter pair could come up with. It just so happened that she was bored now, so she could watch the monkey show.
Having eaten to her fill, Leng Ruoxue continued to use Ye Chen as a cus.h.i.+on and lean on him, with the three small and cute beasts lying in her arms. The two humans and three beasts looked so harmonious.
Ye Chen adjusted his posture so that Xue"er could lean more comfortably against him.. He held a bunch of grapes in his hand and fed them to Xue"er one by one. He was elated that Xue"er was willing to rely on him so much. His efforts during this period were finally not in vain.
"Hmph, what a s.l.u.t. She"s actually leaning in a man"s arms in public," Huangfu Yu said with some jealousy. My cousin was right.
"My dear n.o.ble princess, how can this young lady be called a s.l.u.t by lying on my man? I will only be a s.l.u.t if I have designs on someone else"s man, right?" Leng Ruoxue said very contentedly while enjoying the service of the freakishly beautiful man, eating the grapes he fed to her. How did I become used to leaning on him after only a few times? What should I do? I can"t let Freak know, or he will become arrogant.
"That"s right. Women who like to have ideas about other people"s men are the most despicable." Shui Xinran agreed very much as she looked at Ximen Ya. She hated that Leng Ruoxue was more beautiful than her, but she hated Ximen Ya even more.
"Who are you talking about?" Huangfu Yu roared furiously.
"Why are you so worked up, Princess? Could it be…" Leng Ruoxue smiled and stopped speaking.
"Leng Ruoxue, do you dare to accept my challenge?" Huangfu Yu said while suppressing her anger.
"You, a Great Spiritualist, want to challenge me?" Leng Ruoxue looked at Huangfu Yu carefully from head to toe, wanting to see what was wrong with her!
"Yes," Huangfu Yu said confidently. Hmph, you will regret it if you accept it. It won"t be a battle between spiritualists.
"I"m not interested," Leng Ruoxue said indifferently after a while.
"You tricked me! Are you afraid?" Huangfu Yu looked at Leng Ruoxue mockingly, her face full of provocation.
"Who do you think you are? I"m just too lazy to deal with you. Do you really think you"re some big shot?" Leng Ruoxue said very honestly. Honesty was a virtue! She originally didn"t want to deal with such a clown, but the other party didn"t agree.
"Yu"er, since Miss Leng isn"t willing to accept your challenge, why force her? I believe Miss Leng must have her own difficulties," n.o.ble Consort Xu said understandingly. But what she implied was that Leng Ruoxue was too timid and scared to accept the challenge.
"Princess, why do you want to challenge me?" Leng Ruoxue asked indifferently. If she didn"t cooperate now that the mother and daughter were provoking her together, wouldn"t she be too unaccommodating?
"I want to compete with you in beast taming," Huangfu Yu said confidently. She was favored for a reason. She was already a Master Beast Trainer.
"Pfft!" Feng Da and the others directly spat out the wine in their mouths. It was really too "sensible" for this brain-dead girl to compete with their young lady in beast training.
"Are you sure?"
"What? Are you scared?" Huangfu Yu said arrogantly. Beast training was her forte, and even her master praised her for being a rare beast trainer genius.
"Are you sure you want to compete with someone who isn"t a beast trainer?" Leng Ruoxue asked for confirmation.
"Of course. But if you"re afraid, you can admit defeat now," Huangfu Yu reminded c.o.c.kily. She was blinded by her pride and didn"t realize that her actions would cause others to despise her. In fact, she only wanted to find a reason to humiliate Leng Ruoxue, so she didn"t care if Leng Ruoxue knew how to tame beasts.
"What a joke. Why should I be afraid if you aren"t?" Leng Ruoxue was truly speechless. She thought they would have a good idea, but it was actually a beast taming compet.i.tion. But why didn"t Huangfu Zhen stop such a brainless idea? She couldn"t help turning her gaze to the emperor sitting on this throne. But the expression on his face was very calm, and no one could tell what was on his mind.
"I didn"t expect Princess Huangfu Yu to be a beast trainer!" someone whispered to the person beside him in the hall.
"I didn"t expect it! The Southern Dusk Empire hid her too well. No wonder the emperor dotes on her so much," another person echoed.
"But isn"t it being too much of a bully for a beast trainer to compete with someone who isn"t one?" another person interrupted. It was a very young man who was obviously standing up for Leng Ruoxue.
The whispers from the three of them were very soft, but many people present were experts at the Spiritual Monarch realm and above. Thus, when they heard their whispered discussions, the gazes that many shot at Huangfu Yu carried a trace of disdain. Unfortunately, the person involved didn"t notice in the slightest, and she even thought that everyone was looking at her with admiration.
"Guards, bring them here." As soon as Huangfu Yu finished speaking, several servants carried two large cages into the hall.
Everyone"s gaze was immediately attracted by the spirit beasts in the cages. One of the cages had a golden python with a white horn, and the other had a black fox that was glossy all over. These two spirit beasts were lying lazily in the cages with mocking eyes.
"Ink fox!"
"Charm, what"s the matter? Do you know it?" Leng Ruoxue asked Charm in her head.
"Master, it is a purple-eyed ink fox, a rare mutated fox among purple-eyed snow foxes. Master, please save it!" Charm said to Leng Ruoxue excitedly in his head. He couldn"t bear to see his own kind locked in that small cage.
"Beloved Master, your Darling begs you to save it." Darling also begged in her head. The fox race couldn"t tolerate the existence of ink foxes, but this ink fox had been captured by humans. It was really too pitiful.
