"Ahhh, help me! Help me!" Fu Meier was in so much pain that her whole body was convulsing, and she felt that her face was swollen beyond recognition. She screamed in desperation.
Upon seeing this, Fu Lin immediately shouted, "Quick, quick, save the young lady! Go save the young lady!"
Those in the stands who weren't attacked by bees were terrified by what they had just witnessed. A swarm of bees seemed to have suddenly surrounded Fu Meier. Just imagining the scene and hearing Fu Meier's screams was enough to send chills down their spines.
Even the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperors of the four great kingdoms, and their envoys stared wide-eyed, completely unprepared for what was supposed to be a decent talent performance to turn into a swarm of bees stinging people like a madman. This was truly an unprecedented event, and even the most knowledgeable among them were speechless with astonishment.
Hearing Fu Meier's terrified screams, Leng Sha's lips twitched slightly, but he immediately lowered his head.
Fu Lin immediately grabbed a bucket and lit a torch, splashing and burning the bees, and even waving a knife around. Finally, he managed to drive away a large swarm of bees. The few scattered ones also flew away. The swarm of bees came and went quickly, but the people at the scene had not yet recovered from the terrifying scene. The thought of the sharp stingers pricking their bodies made them feel uneasy.
At this moment, everyone stared wide-eyed at the arena. Fu Meier had fallen to the ground, her body trembling. Fu Lin immediately led his men to help her up. However, as the men helped her up, they were so shocked that they let go, throwing Fu Meier down and shouting, "Oh my god, a... a monster!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could Miss be a monster?" Fu Lin cursed angrily and went straight to help Fu Meier up. However, seeing Fu Meier's current state, he stumbled back two steps and almost fell off the stage.
The audience finally got a good look at Fu Meier. Her face was covered in large bumps, even around her eyes. Her entire face was covered in bumps, truly the description of a "head full of bumps" from ancient times. However, to them, it was somewhat gruesome. Some ladies couldn't bear to look at her. Had Fu Meier been disfigured? Her face was so swollen that it was hard to see any good skin. Her face was swollen like a pig's head, and her eyes were almost completely blocked by the bumps. If they hadn't witnessed the previous events, no one would have believed that Fu Meier was once one of the three beauties of the capital. Now, she was not only ugly, but also terrifying!
"Hahahaha! Pighead, big pighead!" Suddenly, a deafening burst of laughter erupted from the room. Everyone agreed in their hearts that he really did have a pig's face. However, they looked over out of curiosity and saw Leng Caiwen sitting not far from Baili Chen, laughing loudly and pounding the table. Instead of showing sympathy, she seemed to be gloating. Although most of the people thought the same thing as her, no one would dare to be as blatant as her. Look at Fu Lin, whose face had turned green.
"Young Master Leng, my daughter is already like this, and you... you're laughing like this? What do you mean by this!" Fu Lin said angrily.
Leng Caiwen couldn't help but chuckle, then pursed his lips and forced out a sound: "Pfft... I... I didn't mean anything by it, Mr. Fu, please don't misunderstand, I just... I didn't make fun of your daughter, absolutely not. Pfft..." As he spoke, he turned around, his back to the crowd in the arena, but everyone could see from his trembling shoulders that he not only didn't stop laughing, but laughed even harder, his shoulders shaking so badly they looked like they were about to fall apart.
Many people were amused by Leng Caiwen's words and started laughing. Fu Lin didn't expect that these people didn't understand what compassion was at all and actually laughed along with Leng Caiwen. He was so angry that it seemed like smoke was rising from his head, and his usual smiling face had long since disappeared.
Emperor Mingxian's eyes twitched at the sight of Fu Meier's miserable state. He then glanced at Leng Caiwen, who had some dealings with Baili Chen. He knew Leng Caiwen somewhat and knew him well. Like Baili Chen, Leng Caiwen was unpredictable and eccentric, and lived a carefree life. It was not surprising that he was like this. However, seeing that Fu Lin was about to faint from anger, Emperor Mingxian immediately said, "Quickly, go and invite a great physician to treat Miss Fu. We cannot delay."
Fu Meier finally represented the Great Zhou Dynasty in the competition, so Emperor Mingxian naturally had to appease her. Fu Lin's expression was still not good, but he immediately knelt down and respectfully said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, you don't need to worry too much. Miss Fu will be fine. The imperial physicians are highly skilled and will cure her."
Fu Lin glanced at Fu Meier. If only she could really be cured, otherwise…
Fu Meier had already fainted from the pain and had to be carried away. She had originally hoped to be in the top ten, but because of the bee incident, her chances were now hanging by a thread.
"She's making such a fuss and creating so many obstacles, she's made us tremble with fear. We can't let her get away with this."
"What are you doing? I almost got stung. You're really causing trouble and making things difficult for Fu Meier."
"We won't let Fu Meier pass by."
"But no, but no!"
The seven judges nodded in agreement. Although Fu Meier's painting was good, it wasn't good enough to be truly eye-catching. If she could have come up with a unique way to attract butterflies, it would have been a beautiful sight. However, it was a pity that she only attracted frightening bees, so naturally she couldn't make it into the top ten.
Although Fu Meier's matter was infuriating, the competition had to continue. One after another, the contestants went on stage to perform. Ouyang Yue stood in the rest tent and looked out. On the other side, Bai Lichen seemed to sense something and turned his head. Ouyang Yue opened her mouth and said, "You did it."
Baili Chen blinked, feigning ignorance, and moved his mouth, "What are you saying, my wife? I don't understand."
Ouyang Yue rolled her eyes: "Are you afraid I can't beat her? Do you need to lift a finger?" Ouyang Yue's lips twitched at the sight of Fu Meier's miserable state.
Baili Chen no longer hid, smiling as he spoke, "I just find her annoying and don't want to see her on the field. It has nothing to do with whether I trust my wife or not." Of course, Baili Chen wouldn't say this even though he had these thoughts. Besides, he still vividly remembered how Fu Meier had caused Li Rushuang to fall from her horse and disfigure herself. If she made it into the top ten, the next step would be the martial arts competition. Even if Ouyang Yue was confident, Baili Chen might still worry about her. So, dealing with Fu Meier, who liked to play dirty tricks, beforehand was a perfectly normal decision for him. Since Fu Meier might be disfigured or die because of this, Baili Chen didn't care. If she was disfigured, it would be Fu Meier's retribution, wouldn't it?
Ouyang Yue stopped dwelling on these things. The upcoming matches would have their ups and downs, but most of the well-known players would perform as expected, so there wasn't much suspense.
Ouyang Yue was the second to last to perform, and her talent was magic. Just like when she performed at the Ning Mansion, she chose to conjure flowers again. However, this time she conjured all kinds of flowers, even those that were not in season. Moreover, the flowers were bright and beautiful, as if they had just been picked.
"Ah, the flowers are here!" Every time Ouyang Yue transformed into a flower, she would scatter it directly onto the stands. One of them immediately beamed with joy, picked it up, and brought it to his nose to smell. The fragrance was wonderful: "They're real flowers, and they even smell! This is simply amazing!"
"Ah, there are still dewdrops on these flowers, as if Miss Ouyang transformed to pick them and then immediately threw them over. It's so magical."
"Ah, is this flower in bloom now? It's so beautiful!"
Exclamations immediately erupted, and the nobles from the five kingdoms watched in astonishment. Finally, Ouyang Yue spun around on the platform, her sleeves billowing out as if they were open, and flowers scattered everywhere, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene that took everyone's breath away.
"Your Majesty, my performance is finished." After finishing her performance, Ouyang Yue bowed to Emperor Mingxian.
Emperor Mingxian laughed heartily. Ouyang Yue's performance had somewhat mitigated the embarrassment that Fu Meier had brought to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the subsequent performances were all relatively error-free, those who performed calligraphy and painting seemed somewhat restrained, clearly afraid that they would also suffer the same fate as Fu Meier and attract butterflies. Therefore, there were no truly eye-catching programs. Ouyang Yue's performance was obviously very novel, something that most people had never seen before. With the fragrance of flowers filling the air and objects fluttering down, the scene was extremely beautiful. Even the most discerning person knew that Ouyang Yue was bound to be in the top ten this time.
Emperor Mingxian only knew that Ouyang Yue was the legitimate daughter of Ouyang Zhide. He also had the eunuchs tell him about the experiences and stories of some of the more famous people who participated, and Ouyang Yue was one of them. However, almost nothing good was said about her. He never expected that Ouyang Yue would bring him such a pleasant surprise: "Good, good, good, what do you call this performance?"
"Your Majesty, call for magic," Ouyang Yue replied respectfully.
"Magic, magic, what a great name! If it's a performance like magic, then it's excellent, Miss Ouyang." If it weren't for the setting, Emperor Mingxian would have wanted to reward her on the spot. Ouyang Yue respectfully stepped back, and even the contestants gathered in the tent looked at Ouyang Yue with different eyes.
There was a clear sense of apprehension in her eyes. Jiang Huan stared coldly at Ouyang Yue, never expecting that Ouyang Yue would hide her true abilities. The information she received described Ouyang Yue as ignorant and incompetent. Although she had never seen this magic trick before, the performance was indeed good. Could someone with such skills be as rumored? It was simply misleading. When she got back, she would definitely punish the person who spread the message severely.
After a short while, the last contestant finished, and the seven judges discussed the matter briefly before Mr. Liu announced: "The ladies from the five countries are all exceptionally talented. We have discussed this decision for a long time and have finally selected ten outstanding individuals. These are Jiang Huan from the Da Gan Kingdom, Yan Xue'er from the Hei Chi Kingdom, Zi Yi, Zi Er, Zi San, and Zi Si from the Miao Jiang Kingdom, and Bai Li Nan, Mu Cuiwei, Ning Xihe, and Ouyang Yue from the Da Zhou Kingdom."
Previously, when entering the top 50, Da Gan had the most people, accounting for half of the number of people from the other four countries. Unexpectedly, only one person entered the top ten. This ratio made Jiang Qi's face look ugly, while the Miao Jiang King was all smiles. In the past, it was very difficult for Miao Jiang to have four people enter the top ten. The Fifth Holy King of Miao Jiang seemed to be very interested in this beauty pageant. He actually sent four of his maids to perform on stage. What was unexpected was that Zi Si, who had previously performed the Hundred Steps Through the Intestines Technique in the main hall, was extremely skilled in martial arts. They also had their own talents. Moreover, it was obvious to everyone that they hadn't tried their best. It seemed that Miao Jiang was determined to win the beauty pageant this time.
However, these four are merely servants of the Miao King. If they were to achieve a good ranking, wouldn't it make the others lose face? Most of the participants are noble ladies from various countries, who have been learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood. How could they be inferior to two maids? Nevertheless, these ten have already been selected, and they will inevitably have to participate in the next round of the top ten to nine competition.
The competition to narrow down the top ten to nine would be held on the second day. It was already past noon, and at Emperor Mingxian's command, everyone left the venue in an orderly manner. However, the VIP stands all tacitly went to the tents set up at the back to see Fu Meier. No one knew how much of it was out of genuine interest, but they all followed with great enthusiasm.
Physician Liu was summoned to the tent. After examining Fu Meier's shocking injuries, he shook his head. Fu Lin, his face pale, said, "Physician Liu, you are the best physician in the imperial court. Can't you save Meier? She's so young. What will happen to her if she's ruined like this?" Fu Lin had invested so much effort and resources in training her over the past ten years; how could he just give up like this?
Physician Liu sighed and said, "It is still possible to save her, but the process will be extremely painful. First, the poisonous sting must be removed, then the wound must be cleaned and treated with medicine. However, this process will be very painful. Moreover, the most severely affected area of Miss Fu's sting is her face. The medicine I prescribe cannot be too irritating; it can only temporarily relieve the pain and reduce swelling. Therefore, the process will be slow, but it can greatly reduce the risk of disfigurement. However, the pain of the process is beyond what ordinary people can imagine. So, I need to talk to Miss Fu about this."
Fu Lin's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Doctor Liu, please proceed with the treatment. Pain is no problem. I can make the decision for Mei'er. She will definitely agree to anything concerning her appearance. Doctor Liu, please."
Physician Liu looked at Fu Lin, seeing the anxiety on his face, and then at Fu Meier, who had fainted from the pain. He nodded slightly, believing that even if Fu Meier regained consciousness, she would want him to cure her poison: "Very well, to prevent Miss Fu from waking up and struggling halfway through my detoxification, let's tie her up first."
"Alright, hurry up and listen to Physician Liu's instructions, quickly tie up the young lady." Physician Liu gave Fu Lin a strange look. Fu Lin seemed particularly concerned, but was it really concern? Fu Lin quickly smiled and said, "Mei'er usually cares a lot about her face. If she can recover after she wakes up, she will be very happy."
Physician Liu remained silent and sat down. The young apprentice had already taken out the medicine box and brought out everything Physician Liu needed. Physician Liu looked at Fu Meier's miserable face, finally took a deep breath, and began to work.
Emperor Mingxian led a group of people to the tent at the back. As soon as they entered, they suddenly heard a scream that seemed to shatter the heavens: "Ahhh!"
The sound was quite pitiful, startling everyone. Emperor Mingxian couldn't help but ask the servants outside the tent, "What's going on inside? Why are they screaming so pitifully?"
The servant bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, Physician Liu is currently treating Miss Fu for poisoning. I heard that the process involves removing the poisonous thorn first, which will be somewhat painful."
"Oh, so it's Physician Liu treating her. Well then, let's not disturb her any longer and go back. With Physician Liu's help, Miss Fu's injuries should be fine." Everyone nodded in agreement and left. Hearing Fu Meier's screams, they could imagine how bad the situation must be. It was better not to go see her. Fu Meier's pig-headed appearance was already terrible enough; now that she's been detoxified, she probably won't be any better, and might even look worse. It was better not to make things difficult for herself.
Ouyang Yue glanced at Baili Chen speechlessly. This guy's servants were truly ruthless. Baili Chen silently walked through the crowd to Ouyang Yue's side, winked at her, and seeing her expression, laughed heartlessly. Was Baili Chen a good person or a bad person? He had survived the treacherous machinations of the palace, so could you judge him as good or bad in a normal way? To defeat his enemies, he could be ruthless and merciless; for those he wanted to protect, he could also transform into a demon. Was he wrong? Unfortunately, as someone directly involved, Ouyang Yue would never think he was wrong.
It can only be said that she and Fu Meier are enemies, which is unavoidable. Moreover, Ouyang Yue never provokes others, but she also never sits idly by when enemies come knocking. She doesn't offend others unless they offend her, but if they do, she retaliates a hundredfold. In this respect, she is probably on par with Baili Chen. However, how did Baili Chen know what Fu Meier was going to perform and even put something in Fu Meier's paint to turn the butterfly into a bee? That guy is really cunning, yet he manages to be thorough in everything.
Baili Chen lowered his voice and chuckled, "My lady is mistaken. I only had Leng Sha switch the paint when no one was looking. I don't have the ability to bribe the people of the Fu family."
Ouyang Yue glanced sideways at Leng Sha, who stood expressionless beside Baili Chen, and even felt a little sorry for him. Being a subordinate must be really tough. Leng Sha felt uncomfortable under her gaze and lowered his head without saying a word.
The following day, the race to narrow down the field to nine began, and this race was a horse race.
Zi Yi to Zi Si, along with Ouyang Yue, chose to ride in person, while Jiang Huan and the other five women were either of noble status or simply hired by wealthy young ladies.
Ten women stood on horseback at the starting line. At a command, one horse galloped out first—it was Ouyang Yue's horse, dressed in black. Zi Yi and the other four women exchanged glances and immediately changed their horse's form. The four horses lined up in a row, blocking the five riders behind them. Zi Yi and the other four women's eyes flashed coldly as they rushed towards Ouyang Yue. Ouyang Yue, who was in the lead, was also watching the situation behind her. Seeing the four women galloping towards her, she immediately became alert!
Just then, Zi Yi swiftly lashed out with her long whip, aiming it directly at Ouyang Yue's head. Everyone in the stands was stunned. Why was she going for the kill right from the start?
Ouyang Yue was startled, but the whip was already flying towards her head, and she could even hear the sound of air breaking!
A close call!
☆, Chapter 137, A Life-or-Death Horse Race! (Monthly Tickets, Please!)
Ouyang Yue could even feel her pupils shrink rapidly. As Zi Yi's whip thundered closer, the air seemed to freeze for a moment. Ouyang Yue jerked her head sharply, but cold sweat already dripped from her forehead. Zi Yi's whip lashed out with a whooshing sound, and even Ouyang Yue wasn't confident she could dodge it. After all, Zi Yi had struck unexpectedly, and the four women's martial arts skills, as seen in Zi Yi Si's "Hundred Miles Through the Intestines" in the main hall, were extremely formidable. Under these circumstances, it was a close contest, and neither could guarantee a decisive victory.
"Whoosh, snap!"
"Splash!"
"Snap!"
The whip lashed out rapidly. Although Ouyang Yue quickly twisted her head to dodge, avoiding a direct hit to the back of her head and her face, the whip still struck directly at the topknot on her head. Two pearl hairpins were instantly knocked off, and her hair flew wildly. Ouyang Yue didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately spurred her horse and galloped away. The horse, Ziyi and Zier, rushed over, its hooves stepping on the fallen pearl hairpins and breaking them in two. This scene instantly silenced the audience.
Even the riders of Jiang Huan, Baili Nan, and the other four women were shocked. Although these women all knew some martial arts and were quite skilled riders, they were very confident in the competition before they came. However, precisely because they knew some martial arts, they were well aware of the power of Zi Yi's whip. If Ouyang Yue hadn't dodged quickly and avoided being struck directly on the head, she would have been seriously injured, if not killed, after being caught in the whip and thrown to the ground. The force was astonishing, and the speed was fast. It clearly showed them that Zi Yi's martial arts were far superior to theirs, and Zi Yi also had three helpers. No matter who rushed forward, they would definitely not fare well. Thinking of that situation, they immediately lost the will to fight. Although they ran forward quickly, they dared not overtake Zi Yi. Of course, even if they tried their best, they might not be able to rush forward. Only the five of them could compete to determine the winner.
Ouyang Yue galloped off, but Zi Yi and Zi Er flanked her from the left and right, while Zi San and Zi Si lagged slightly behind the three, attacking Ouyang Yue in a pincer movement. They hadn't caught up with Ouyang Yue yet, but judging from Zi Yi's whip strike just now, this distance was no problem at all, so they absolutely couldn't let their guard down.
Although Ouyang Yuema was leading the charge, her mind was racing. Clearly, Zi Yi and Zi Si were working together seamlessly and were quite skilled. With this formation, even if she managed to dodge attacks from Zi Yi and Zi Er, Zi San and Zi Si would immediately rush in from the side. These four would attack her wave after wave, putting her at a disadvantage. Despite these thoughts, she spurred her horse, whipping it rapidly to gallop away, hoping only to get as far away as possible to reduce the danger.
The crowd in the stands finally came to their senses and began to discuss among themselves. The citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty cursed, "What the hell is going on? This is a horse race, why is it being turned into a life-or-death struggle? If Miss Ouyang hadn't dodged quickly, she might be dead by now. This is too much!"
"Exactly! How could they be so vicious? They only resorted to this underhanded tactic because Miss Ouyang was ahead and they were outmatched. It's utterly despicable and shameless!"
"Disgrace! Disqualify the Miao people from the competition immediately!"
"Disqualify them from the competition."
"Who says there are no accidents in horse racing? A truly good racer can turn any situation into an opportunity. If you're not as skilled as others, why make so many excuses?" The Miao people retorted.
"Exactly. If she gets defeated, it's because she's not as skilled as the other person. Who can she blame?"
"You're just making excuses!"
"You have no right to argue!"
"Disgusting!"
"Shameless!"
The audience on stage were already shouting and arguing, their faces red and necks bulging. Even those in the main stands were discussing it. This beauty pageant was going to last for more than half a month, and Emperor Mingxian, the ruler of the country, couldn't possibly accompany the emperor for that long. Today, Crown Prince Baili Cheng was representing the emperor to watch the competition. Ouyang Yue was originally one of his allies, but they had completely fallen out because of Hong Yicheng's incident at the Hong residence. The General's Mansion had disrespected the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince was angry about it. Although he had thought about finding an opportunity to punish the people from the General's Mansion, in front of the five kingdoms and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ouyang Yue was representing the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they lost face, it would be the Great Zhou Dynasty that lost face.
Baili Cheng said to the Miao King with a stern face, "What do you mean by this, Miao King? Horse racing is a competition of horses. The people sent by your Miao people have clearly used excessive force. Is this how a competition is conducted? Where is the fairness?"
The King of Miao Jiang simply smiled and said, "Crown Prince of the Great Zhou, you should already know the specific situation of my Miao Jiang. These four women, Zi Yi, are not under my jurisdiction. If you have any questions, you can go directly to the Holy King."
Crown Prince Baili Cheng gave the Miao Jiang King a cold, mocking look, then turned to the Miao Jiang Holy King and said, "The Miao Jiang Holy King is also a noble person of a country. Shouldn't he have some status and dignity? To openly break the rules like this shows that you don't respect the four countries."
Baili Cheng's words were intended to incite conflict among the five kingdoms, thereby using this intimidation to force the Miao Jiang Holy King to submit. He could also see that Zi Yi and the other four women were extremely skilled. Even though Ouyang Yuezhen had won by chance this time, no one was very confident about the outcome of the subsequent matches. Eliminating these four women would be of great benefit to the later matches.
The Miao Jiang Holy King clearly didn't take Baili Cheng seriously, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "Any unexpected event can happen during a horse race. Those who are truly capable can naturally dodge this whip. The Great Zhou Dynasty is one of the two great powers of the Langya Continent, a land of outstanding people and abundant talents. Are you afraid?"
Baili Cheng sneered: "Your Majesty is quite eloquent. You should know that in past horse races, the competition was about the horses themselves. What you are doing is breaking the rules of the competition. Your underhanded tactics have nothing to do with whether our country is strong or not. It is precisely because we are strong that we would not do such underhanded or petty things. Does Your Majesty think this behavior is acceptable?"
The Miao King completely ignored Baili Cheng's provocative words, and instead smiled at the nomadic chieftain Hash, saying, "I wonder what Chief Hash thinks?"
Hash laughed: "Our people are known for their fierce spirit. Both men and women grow up on horseback. Strong men must be able to conquer the world on horseback, and excellent women must also win a place on horseback and the favor of excellent and brave men. In my opinion, as long as we win in the end, nothing else matters."
Baili Cheng narrowed his eyes. Also present today were the Fifth Prince Baili Jian, the Seventh Prince Baili Chen, and even the youngest prince, the Ninth Prince Baili Mao. Their expressions were all rather unpleasant.
The eldest prince of the Great Gan Dynasty, Jiang Qi, also laughed and said, "Haha, Chief Hash and the Holy King of Miao Jiang are both right. It's hard to say what will happen in a horse race. Since the beauty pageant selects women who are both literate and martial, then the horses must also be excellent. Since this Miss Ouyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty has chosen to compete herself, it means she is very confident in herself. How can the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty know that she has no chance of winning? If Miss Ouyang hears that you don't trust her, she will be very disappointed."
The emperor of the Black Teeth Kingdom also laughed and said, "That's right. I think this kind of competition is more intense and exciting to watch. Not bad, not bad."
Bai Licheng and the others' expressions darkened. In truth, for the other four kingdoms, the four Miao women were now on par with Ouyang Yue and had a very high chance of winning the championship. Moreover, the difference in skill between the four and Ouyang Yue was obvious. The other five contestants were already blocked by Zi Yi and the four women; if they hadn't broken through at the start of the competition, catching up would be extremely difficult. Their hopes were already slim, so wouldn't it be even better to take this opportunity to suppress the Great Zhou Dynasty? The Great Zhou Dynasty had three members in the competition; for the other three kingdoms, it would be ideal if all three of them couldn't participate. Of course, they strongly agreed with the Miao Jiang Holy King's assessment.
Four of the five kingdoms supported Zi Yi and the four women's actions. However, Crown Prince Baili Cheng was not Emperor Mingxian, and was therefore inferior to the Miao Jiang King and the Black Teeth King. Although his status as Crown Prince was enough to make him look down on them with his kingdom's strength, it was basically impossible for him to refute the four under these circumstances.
Baili Chen's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with a cold, sharp light as he directly shot his gaze at the Miao Jiang Holy King. The latter sensed something and met his gaze, but smiled, a very arrogant smile. Baili Chen's eyes grew even colder, and with a wave of his hand, he coldly ordered the king to lower his head: "If my wife is truly in danger, kill her!"
Leng Sha was taken aback, of course he understood what Baili Chen meant. If Ouyang Yue was really cornered, they would rather kill Zi Yi and the other four women in front of the people of the five kingdoms to protect Ouyang Yue’s safety, regardless of any cost.
