Her voice was so arrogant and powerful that it quickly drew the attention of many people.
In a magnificent carriage not far away, Luo Ningshuang sat intimately with a young woman, peering out from behind the curtain. The young woman was stunningly beautiful, but her expression was filled with disdain and arrogance: "Did I hit her in the face? I hope it can disfigure her; if not, then all my painstaking planning has been for nothing."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ningshuang's eyes flickered a few times, and she said timidly with a sob in her voice, "Good sister, I'm begging you, please don't treat my sister like this, okay? If she's disfigured, how will she live in the future?"
The woman shook Luo Ningshuang's shoulder with a look of utter exasperation, saying angrily, "Silly Shuang'er! What can I say to you? Luo Zhiheng is arrogant and domineering, she treats you badly and bullies you all the time. What's most hateful is that she even stole the marriage that should have been yours! Why are you still pleading for her? Does someone like her deserve your sympathy and pity? Don't worry, your older sister will stand up for you. Luo Zhiheng doesn't even appreciate such a good and gentle younger sister like you. Then you shouldn't acknowledge her as your older sister. You can be my sister, Li Xian'er's sister. We'll be sisters, and I'll protect you!"
Li Xian'er, the niece of Consort Li and the apple of her brother's eye, was the betrothed to Mu Yunjin as his principal wife. This is why she remained unmarried at the young age of nineteen. The reason she delayed marrying into the royal family was that Consort Li wanted to wait until Mu Yunhe died and Mu Yunjin inherited the throne as the young prince before holding a grand and solemn wedding for them.
Consort Li harbored a deep-seated resentment that she hadn't been able to overcome over the years: her failure to marry Prince Mu as his principal wife. Therefore, she was determined to fulfill this dream through her own niece. The son was hers, and no one could stop her from making her niece a princess.
Therefore, Li Xian'er, who has always considered herself the future Prince Mu, has become arrogant and disdainful of others over the years.
Luo Ningshuang was secretly pleased. Although Li Xian'er was arrogant and rude, she was also easy to manipulate because of her impulsive nature. She was eager for Luo Zhiheng to be disfigured. She knew very well what it was that had attacked Luo Zhiheng earlier. However, she did not expect Li Xian'er to be so bold as to instruct someone to do such a thing in such an important and serious occasion.
"Sister, I don't deserve this. You are a noble little princess, while I am just an unloved second daughter. Besides, you and I are siblings from the same mother. I really can't bear it." Luo Ningshuang was about to burst into tears. She knew that Li Xian'er was most impatient with tears. Although they had only spent a little over a day together, she knew that she could control Li Xian'er.
Sure enough, Li Xian'er became impatient: "Don't cry all the time. I'm standing up for you, and I'm also avenging my aunt. Besides, this Luo Zhiheng dared to refuse to give me the invitation. What is she? Does she even deserve to participate in this competition? I want to teach Luo Zhiheng a lesson and make her understand that she's not someone you can just come from anywhere!"
A hint of mockery and coldness flashed in Luo Ningshuang's eyes. To say such things about Luo Zhiheng meant that she, Luo Ningshuang, was also being implicated? Li Xian'er, you will pay the price for your ignorant words sooner or later.
"You little dangerous thing!" Luo Zhiheng, unaware of the trickery going on, was angrily displaying her ignorant yet fierce side, holding up the shoe and shouting, "You damn man, why did you hit me with your shoe? What if you ruined my face? Tell me, tell me!"
The crowd grew increasingly agitated, finding it unbelievable. In all the years the competition had been held, this was the first time someone had been attacked, especially by a shoe. To call it an accident seemed illogical, while to say it was premeditated was absurd. And with so many women participating, why was only this woman in red attacked? Besides, would being attacked by a shoe cause disfigurement? Of course not!
Although everyone felt that Luo Zhiheng was very unlucky and pitiful, they also felt that she was exaggerating.
Madam Wang said with a displeased expression, "Miss Luo, although our association bears responsibility for this matter and failed to protect you properly, and we will certainly deal with the troublemaker seriously, you should not speak carelessly about disfigurement, as it is not good for your reputation."
Luo Zhiheng's eyes darted around, but she didn't immediately answer Madam Wang's question. The man in white had already been brought in by the competition's organizer.
What a handsome guy!
He was fair-skinned and delicate, dressed all in white, and his eyes were wide with anger, making him look quite cute, like a piece of tofu. However, he felt an inexplicable sense of humiliation and intense disgust towards Luo Zhiheng.
"Who exactly are you? How dare you cause trouble in the competition? Have you no time to live?!" Madam Wang's stern questioning voice was full of authority, making Luo Zhiheng's heart skip a beat.
The fair-skinned woman's eyes instantly reddened. Instead of being afraid, she became even more furious and said, "Your competition is unfair! You allow just anyone to participate. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't say anything, but you actually let this slut participate! I'm not convinced! If such an unclean person can participate, then why can't my sister participate? You are clearly being unfair!"
"What nonsense are you spouting! The competition is fair. Even if she is allowed to participate, she must have real skills to continue. If she is eliminated in the preliminary round, the competition will send her home without hesitation!" Madam Wang explained authoritatively.
"I refuse to accept this! It's fine if it's anyone else, but it's Luo Zhiheng, and I just can't accept it!" the man roared, and the once lively arena fell silent instantly!
Who is it? Who is that woman? 127.
Luo Zhiheng? That name sounds so familiar! Ah!! It's the Luo family's witch, Luo Zhiheng?!
Hey you, run! With your looks, be careful the witch Luo doesn't take a liking to you and molest you!
After a moment of silence, an explosive uproar erupted. The shocked crowd stared blankly at each other. The men who had come to watch this unprecedented event paled upon hearing Luo Zhiheng's name! All the good-looking men, regardless of age or marital status, wore expressions of utter disbelief, retreating further and further as if they wished they could disappear from the spot immediately!
While Luo Zhiheng's name might only be considered repulsive within the Prince's mansion, in the hearts of the men of the Mu Dynasty, it was a taboo, a minefield, and a terrifying existence that could not be touched!
For a whole month, Luo Zhiheng went door to door with the men she had her eye on. Regardless of whether the men wanted to or not, they had to chat and eat with her. At first, it was fine, after all, Luo Zhiheng was beautiful and of a decent status. Moreover, she was a girl, and only girls suffer losses.
But later, the situation reversed.
That was when Luo Zhiheng was just starting out as a fangirl. For a whole month, she invited all sorts of handsome men out. At only fourteen or fifteen years old, Luo Zhiheng dared to openly touch men's butts and even strongly demanded to kiss them! This terrified the pure, virgin young men who had never been deflowered.
Whether it was good judgment or she was just lucky, the men she chose were all handsome young men of similar age. However, too many of these men were corrupted and harmed by her. A month later, the men who realized what was happening and their families began to shut their doors. 15461567
At that time, everyone thought that no one would believe this if it were told, since it was unconvincing to say that a little girl came to a man's house to harass him. Moreover, if it were told, the Luo family might accuse them of defaming their daughter and they would have to take responsibility. So the families who were taken advantage of collectively chose to remain silent, but they also took measures, namely, refusing Luo Zhiheng to enter their homes again and speaking to Luo Ge about the matter.
Little did anyone know that at that time, Loge highly admired his daughter's 'bravery and fearlessness' and declared that if anyone could tame his extraordinary daughter, he would marry her to that person.
These boastful words immediately brought tears to the eyes of everyone who heard them! What kind of unreliable and irresponsible father could be like this? The girl is frivolous, flirting with men at such a young age, and the father is just as irresponsible. Where can he go to seek justice?
However, it was around that time that Luo Zhiheng's reputation for being a womanizer began to spread. At first, everyone just treated it as a joke, but later everyone was frightened by Luo Zhiheng's audacity in harassing men in the street. No one took the matter lightly anymore, and people scolded Luo Zhiheng, but it was no use.
Over the years, Luo Zhiheng has only become more shameless, reaching new heights of depravity when it comes to handsome men! In the entire Mu Dynasty, who among those with even a modicum of good looks hasn't been coveted and harassed by her? There have even been instances of men who, unable to bear being defiled by her, attempted suicide by jumping into the moat.
I thought that Luo Zhiheng, that scourge, had finally gotten married. No matter how she got married, at least the men of the Mu Dynasty would have a chance to walk openly in the world. But who knew that this wicked witch would reappear? And at the First Talent Competition, where countless single, handsome men gathered just to see beautiful women!
The harmonious scene immediately crumbled; the men fled in panic, while the women cried and wailed. On one side was disgust and fear, on the other, envy and jealousy.
Some people said, "Is she really Luo Zhiheng? How can such an impure woman participate in the competition? Is the competition to select prostitutes? If so, there's nothing to watch."
The situation became increasingly out of control, with everyone pointing the finger at the competition, accusing it of unfairness and demanding that Luo Zhiheng, this scoundrel, be immediately disqualified. Some even directed their anger at Luo Zhiheng herself, calling her an impure person who shouldn't be allowed to tarnish the clean competition and demanding she forfeit her participation.
The competition organizers actively participated, and Luo Zhiheng remained calm despite their chaotic situation. Although she didn't know Luo Zhiheng's glorious past, she knew from the uncontrollable scene that the past must have been 'brilliant and splendid', but she wasn't afraid.
She stood atop the high carriage, surrounded by people attacking her with words and glances, even rotten vegetable leaves thrown at her from who-knows-where. Yet she stood ramrod straight, aloof and indifferent. In the noisy and volatile arena, she arrogantly and sneered in her clear and melodious voice: "Anyone who dares to personally attack me, the men will be arrested and harassed, the women will be taken away and forced into prostitution!"

As soon as Luo Zhiheng said this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Some believed her, while others scorned her. After all, Luo Zhiheng was just a child from a third-class noble family; for her to dare utter such arrogant words, she was either an idiot or a moron.
"Get out of here right now! What's the point of making a fool of yourself here?" The crowd jeered, wishing they could get Luo Zhiheng out of there immediately, as if her mere presence polluted the air and the land.
Luo Zhiheng sneered, "I can come and go as I please. It's none of your business to tell me what to do. I dare to come because I have real skills, and I'm going to take first place. I'll make you all furious!"
Her arrogant attitude and ignorant remarks made everyone laugh so hard they almost fell over. They'd never seen such a shameless woman before. She had nothing left, was clearly uneducated, yet dared to claim she had real skills? Were all the other women celestial maidens descended to earth? Looking at Luo Zhiheng's vulgar attire and glittering gold hair ornaments, everyone could only think she was dressed like a pig.
Luo Zhiheng pointed at the man in white and said, "You hit me with your stinky shoe because you're jealous that I'm stronger than your sister? You can be jealous of me, but you can't disfigure me!"
"I didn't! It's just a shoe, how could it be disfigurement?" The man was furious, but his eyes flickered.
"Should I hit you with this too?" Luo Zhiheng sneered. Seeing the man's expression change drastically, she suddenly raised her shoe.
The man was so frightened that he quickly dodged, shouting, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"
"Tsk tsk, it's just a shoe, it won't disfigure you, what are you afraid of?" Luo Zhiheng sneered lightly.
The man was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Luo Zhiheng, however, had no intention of letting him off the hook. Instead, she shouted, "Tell me, did you intend to murder me? How did you know I was in this carriage? And how did you know I would arrive at this time?" She glanced meaningfully at Madam Wang and continued, "Or did someone leak my whereabouts to you?"
"You're talking nonsense! I just happened to see you come out, so I attacked you in a fit of anger. It has nothing to do with anyone else!" the man shouted anxiously.
Luo Zhiheng laughed strangely: "Are you too stupid, or too blind? You can see what I look like even with a veil on my face? You recognize me at a glance? Or... you wouldn't happen to have had a crush on me for a long time, would you?"
The man turned pale and said in horror, "Only a ghost would have a crush on you! No, even a ghost wouldn't have a crush on you!"
Luo Zhiheng glared at him with a sinister look: "If you don't tell the truth, believe me, I dare to break your arm?"
"Such an arrogant person with no tolerance whatsoever, I really don't understand why the competition would allow such a person to participate? I was really looking forward to the competition, but now it seems a bit disappointing." A voice as sweet as a nightingale's song suddenly rang out, and people automatically made way to see a stunningly beautiful woman in a pale yellow dress slowly walking in, accompanied by Luo Ningshuang, who was wearing a veil!
Luo Zhiheng narrowed her eyes and instantly guessed the other party's identity.
Consort Li knew everything about how she had gotten the invitation for her niece, and Hua Kai had even come to tell her about it. The invitation was actually thanks to her good sister, Luo Ning Shuang. What a series of delightful surprises!
An enemy's friend is an enemy. Besides, the other party hasn't shown any goodwill at all. Luo Zhiheng retorted without any politeness: "This must be Consort Li's niece. I heard that your aunt almost kowtowed and begged to get you an invitation. If you were of good character and virtue, you probably wouldn't be unable to get even an invitation, would you?"
Li Xian'er was stunned, looking completely incredulous. She was the apple of her family's eye, just as pampered as Luo Zhiheng in Luo Ge's eyes. No one had ever dared to speak to her like that before. Li Xian'er instantly flew into a rage, pointing at Luo Zhiheng and shouting, "Then I'm still better than you! I'm a lady from a respectable family, you're a notorious womanizer. I was begged to deliver your invitation, you threatened someone to get it! What right do you have to stand here shouting like that?"
Li Xian'er didn't mind revealing Luo Zhiheng's unknown stories. She believed that Luo Zhiheng's crooked ways were despicable. And as she wished, everyone glared angrily at Luo Zhiheng after hearing her words.
Luo Zhiheng also adopted an arrogant attitude, saying, "Who did I threaten? Which gossipy woman told you that? Which eye of yours saw me threatening anyone? If I were threatening anyone, would a little girl like me threaten this amazing competition? You're ridiculous! Yes, I admit my invitation was obtained dishonestly, but it's still better than those who try to cheat and steal invitations when they can't get one! Don't laugh at me, we're like brothers, neither of us should laugh at the other for being fat!"
After she finished speaking, she pointed her golden finger at the crowd and exaggeratedly spun around, arrogantly shouting, "And you all, whoever dares to laugh at me for not being qualified, please bring this young lady from the Li family along, because she and I both came to this competition through my good sister. If you really think the competition is unfair, then you can only go home and cry your eyes out. Who told you not to have a sister who has been the champion of the competition for nine consecutive years?"
Luo Zhiheng's words instantly made everyone's faces turn ugly, including the competition's steward and Luo Ningshuang!
Zhiheng was a servant. Originally, Luo Ningshuang was just watching the spectacle, but now, having been subtly led astray by Luo Zhiheng, she couldn't hold back any longer and choked out, "Sister, you've misunderstood. I wasn't abusing my power. This is a very serious place, I just..."
Luo Zhiheng interrupted Luo Ningshuang with disdain: "Who are you calling 'sister'? Standing with her to watch my misfortune, do you really think I'm stupid? You actually wish you could call that meddlesome gossip 'sister,' don't you? Luo Ningshuang, don't go too far. Be careful not to keep twisting your own elbow. If you grow crooked, you won't be able to turn back. You'll be the one who embarrasses yourself in the end!"
Her merciless words echoed throughout the room like a demonic whisper. Suddenly, she casually adjusted her veil with an air of nonchalance and said narcissistically, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, it didn't ruin my beautiful face."
Everyone felt so disgusted they wanted to vomit.
Li Xian'er couldn't help but want to argue with Luo Zhiheng, but Madam Wang suddenly spoke up: "What do you think this place is? Is the First Talent Competition something you can discuss? If you're really disappointed, then please leave. You weren't invited here by the competition in the first place."
That's clearly biased!
Luo Zhiheng was surprised. She thought that by deliberately acting so annoying, Madam Wang would definitely dislike her.
Li Xian'er was unwilling, but she dared not say anything more. She had finally gotten a chance to participate in the competition, and of course she couldn't miss it. Moreover, as long as she participated, she would still have a chance to kill Luo Zhiheng and make sure Luo Zhiheng could never hold her head high again. However, Li Xian'er looked nervously at the shoe in Luo Zhiheng's hand. She was worried that the heartless and idiotic Luo Zhiheng would hand the shoe over to the competition organizers, and if they found out she was involved, it would be terrible. 12.
Luo Zhiheng went all out, handing the shoe to Madam Wang without any attempt to hide it, and loudly proclaimed, "This is the murder weapon. Let the Grandmaster handle it. There's something very heavy inside. It hurt me a lot just now."
"What?!" Madam Wang was shocked. She quickly took it, her face darkening. Sure enough, there was something there! She ordered it to be poured out, and with a thud, an iron ball fell to the ground. Everyone's expressions changed. 15461581
This was definitely a deliberate attack. Luo Zhiheng was very unlucky.
Luo Zhiheng immediately screamed in terror, clinging to Madam Wang in a disheveled state. Her face was covered, so her expression couldn't be seen, but her terrified cries could be heard: "They really want to murder me! No! I'm so beautiful, I don't want to be disfigured! Are the people in the competition idiots? They almost killed me! I want compensation! I want comfort!"
The crowd was rendered speechless by Luo Zhiheng's repeated actions and narcissistic words. But when they heard her nonsensical self-praise, especially the phrase "as handsome as Pan An," they felt a tightness in their chests. None of them were martial arts experts. If they were, they would know that they were injured, internally wounded by Luo Zhiheng's extremely damaging words!
Madam Wang's lips twitched, and she cleared her throat, saying, "Don't worry, this matter has wronged you, but the competition will definitely give you an explanation."
"Not bad!" Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. Everyone looked up and saw a man in purple standing on a towering tree not far away. His face was obscured, but his voice was clear: "The competition neglected your safety. Originally, to compensate you, the competition was willing to allow you to directly enter the official competition. But since you want compensation, we can consider letting you choose for yourself. Do you want the compensation from the competition, or the compensation you want yourself?"
Boom! The man's words were undoubtedly a bombshell, utterly shocking! Direct advancement! For an idiot like Luo Zhiheng, who was certain to be eliminated in the preliminary rounds, it was like a pie falling from the sky! Unless Luo Zhiheng was completely stupid, she should have chosen to advance directly.
But Luo Zhiheng's intention today was to play dumb, to lull the enemy into a false sense of security. She was also confident she could advance on her own. So, with a bright smile, she revealed her hand, adorned with numerous jeweled rings, and innocently declared, "I want compensation!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and then collapsed. They had finally witnessed what a truly utterly idiotic person looked like!
Second update! There will be another update today, my darlings, please be patient. I'll keep working hard, please vote, leave comments, and give monthly tickets! Group kisses! Also, thank you to all the darlings who gave me rewards. I'm so touched by everyone's encouragement and support for my late update today. I will definitely work harder. Love you all, big kisses!
