Swish!

The white handkerchief straightened like a stiff knife and sliced through his throat.

Lord Chen’s eyes widened immediately.

Blood dripped onto his hand. Lord Chen could only touch his neck briefly before his whole body collapsed and twitched on the floor. Grunts emitted from his throat and his head drooped as he took his final breath.

The shadow guards were very quick. The moment Lord Chen fell, they dragged him away and cleaned the blood away rapidly. The whole process was very professional, none of them even blinking an eye at the carnage.


The conservative courtiers were shell-shocked at this point, and their hands were trembling.

His Highness had already made his intentions so obvious, yet Lord Chen had to interfere in this matter of political marriage.

And before that, Lord Ge was dragged away in the same manner……

Zongzheng Yu Er was closest to Lord Chen. The long skirt that she had prepared painstakingly was now stained with blood. She looked rather disheveled now, but she was more embarrassed as her face burned hot. Was he rejecting her?

Baili Jia Jue took another step forward, but he did not even look at the princess. Pulling off his fur coat, he draped it over Helian Wei Wei’s head as he dragged her over to him. In a cold voice, he asked,
Who allowed you to bare your face?


Helian Wei Wei tried to explain herself,
That cape was blocking my view.



You still have to wear it even if it is obscuring you.
Baili Jia Jue patted the furry head in front of him as he threw a penetrating stare toward the direction of Zongzheng Wen Ren. His gaze was icy cold.

This was when Zongzheng Wen Ren realized that he had been staring at Helian Wei Wei since the beginning.

Zongzheng Yu Er bit her lip. Suddenly, she spoke, her soft voice full of persistence.
Your Highness, no matter what decision you make, I still have to tell you that I really like you.


Hearing this, Helian Wei Wei gave the man beside her a sideways glance and sighed heavily in her heart. What a dangerous beauty he was, attracting admirers like flies.


However, she was not afraid of the possibility of him having an eventual change of heart.

She would find a few handsome men for herself. Let’s see who will have a larger harem!

Baili Jia Jue knew what his little vixen was thinking about, so he reached out and grabbed her wrist. His grip tightened while he lowered his voice, chuckling softly into her ear. With a cautionary tone he said,
If you ever dared to do what you’re thinking about, I will bind you to the bed.


Helian Wei Wei’s back stiffened as her face turned sincere.
I was not thinking about anything.


Baili Jia Jue looked at her with a grim gaze, as if he was looking at a fool, and said leisurely,
I am your guardian demon, do you really think that I would be unaware of your stream of consciousness?

Helian Wei Wei: ……Darn! This is an invasion of privacy! This means that I cannot have any wicked intentions from now on. How annoying…


Sure, you can still do naughty things.
Baili Jia Jue lowered his head and kissed the corner of Helian Wei Wei’s lips, as if there was no one around. He did not care that people were staring. In a deep voice, he murmured into her ear,
… but you can only do those naughty things to me. You may do whatever you please, my mistress.


Helian Wei Wei: ……Do not speak like you are a pimp!!

As if he was delighted by Helian Wei Wei’s frustration, Baili Jia Jue chuckled. Even those mysterious eyes of his seemed much brighter.

Zongzheng Yu Er did not expect that her confession would be ignored just like that.

That man did not even look at her once from the very beginning!


Your Highness, why are you doing this to me? Is it wrong of me to harbor affections for you?
Zongzheng Yu Er’s tears spilled. Her weeping face was beautiful, like pear blossoms bathing in the rain.

This made the envoys and the exorcists from the other kingdoms sympathize with her.

A girl like her should be pampered. Even if the third prince of the War Dragon Dynasty was unwilling to marry her, he should not have embarrassed a girl like that.

Hearing this, Baili Jia Jue finally looked at Zongzheng Yu Er.

Zongzheng Yu Er felt hopeful as she raised her reddened tear-filled eyes.

Baili Jia Jue smiled with perfect politeness and elegance.
You are asking me if you have done anything wrong. In fact, I would like to question you, why is it that you keep offering yourself when I have no affections for you? What are your intentions? Are the women of Xuanyuan Kingdom so hungry for love? So much so that you have to break up someone’s marriage?


Hearing this, the little one took a step back quickly. He initially planned on joining the fight if Third Aunt was going to start one.


Now, it seemed like Third Brother was riled up instead. He would be better off staying away from it. When his Third Brother got mad, mere mortals would not be able to withstand it.

For example, the whole remark he just made may sound polite, but he just meant that she was being a tramp.

Who in this palace would not understand that?

When Zongzheng Yu Er heard Baili Jia Jue’s reply, her face turned green and pale. Her body was trembling, and she almost fell to the ground.

A proper princess like her had never been humiliated like that.

What did he think she was!

Elder Xu Wu could not tolerate the situation anymore.
Your Highness, I thought your kingdom is a civilized one, and that you should know……



I agree.
Baili Jia Jue interrupted him slowly, coldness dripping from his eyes.
As a civilized kingdom, no country would gift their princesses to others like she’s an object. Why don’t you ask Lord Wang of Huangzi Kingdom, would they do this to their princess?



Of course not!
Lord Wang denied this immediately. This was a matter of his nation’s dignity!

Baili Jia Jue’s smile deepened malevolently.
See, this is something that even the Huangzi Kingdom would never do. But since the Xuanyuan Kingdom has done it, I merely rejected this barbaric offer. Yet, you are still talking about etiquette to me, hah…



The meaning behind that laugh was unspoken, but everybody understood him. What he meant was that those Xuanyuan people were undeserving of his attention.

Elder Xu Wu’s face turned green. He clenched his fingers and glared at Lord Wang.

Lord Wang just realised that he had become Baili Jia Jue cannonball.

Darn it!

The three kingdoms were supposed to be united against the War Dragon Dynasty!

Why was he helping Baili Jia Jue against Elder Xu Wu instead?

This man… this man!

Lord Wang had no words to describe Baili Jia Jue. He was dumbfounded.

Helian Wei Wei was learning silently at the side.

Before she knew His Highness, she thought that she was brazen enough.

After she got to know him, she truly understood what a true expert meant.

His insult could even break an alliance, what a genius!

No wonder His Highness used to say that her approach was not ruthless enough. She only knew how to kill and fight bluntly, to push forward blindly. It seemed that she was not skillful enough.

Helian Wei Wei finally knew what his ruthlessness meant.

The look on Elder Xu Wu and Lord Wang’s face, Zhongzheng Yu Er’s expression… This slap on their faces was so skillful that they cannot even squeak in pain, how pitiful…
