“Prone to wishful thinking, and are frequently deluded.”
His tone was not the least heavy, but the damage of his words was savage.
Most importantly, he delivered that bit of sarcasm with utmost grace and elegance.
Zongzheng Yu Er and Xuan Bing’s faces turned green from that declaration.
It was obvious that His Highness’ double-edged remark had done its job.
Besides telling Xuan Bing off, he was reminding Zongzheng Yu Er of her shameless insistence to marry him.
In conclusion, there was only one way to describe them: “Low”!
As public realized the meaning behind his remarks, they glanced at one another.
They realized that Baili Jia Jue could win any battle without using brute force, as all he needed were his words.
And… There was no way to rebut him!
Xuan Bing clenched his fists as he looked at Zongzheng Yu Er, who was close to tears. His chest heaved with heavy breaths as he clenched her teeth, speechless.
Helian Wei Wei decided that she had to bring the Third Prince out with her in the future. She would never be bullied again, as any enemy would be defeated by his sharp tongue before they can throw any fists.
“We shall see in a moment whether it is wishful thinking or otherwise.” Zongzheng Wen Ren laughed coolly. “Xuan Bing, since the Third Princess Consort does not need you to hold back on her account, feel free to show her what a true exorcist is like then.”
“Sure.” Xuanbing turned back to face her, emitting a surge of potent spiritual energy. He focused on Helian Wei Wei and stood with pure confidence of his victory.
Helian Wei Wei took her place without betraying any of her emotions on her neutral face.
Baili Jia Jue held his teacup elegantly with his perfectly slender fingers and well-manicured nails. The black ring on his finger shone with his every movement, reflecting light that resembled snow. The ring itself seemed to be made of jade.
The ministers were still worried. All of them cast their glances at Helian Wei Wei, whispering, “Do you think the Third Princess Consort can actually make it?”
“I don’t know.” Indeed they did not. Who would dare to summon a Reaper?
Only the young man turned slightly pale. “The princess consort is not even standing in the proper stance.”
“What does that mean?” The ministers were lost again.
The youngster grasped his hands tightly. “I have seen the elder summon a Reaper. He would hold a talisman in his left hand and a sword in his right, all while chanting the spell. That’s how he summoned the Reaper, but the princess consort…”
Helian Wei Wei did not even have a yellow talisman!
She just stood there with her empty long-sleeved cloak billowing in the wind.
Xuan Bing laughed at the sight of her. “So, the Third Princess Consort has no experience in summoning Reapers. You do not even look like you know the steps. Do you need me to tutor you?”
Xuan Bing’s words made the other exorcists laugh.
Helian Wei Wei swept her gaze lightly across them as she said, “You are guests from afar afterall, we have to give our guests a head start. That’s why I’m not using a yellow talisman.”
These words made Xuan Bing sneer. “You sure know how to tell pretty lies, Third Princess Consort. I have never heard of anyone who is able to summon Reapers without yellow talismans.”
“Pretty lies? She is boasting way out of her level.” The exorcist from Huangzi Kingdom looked down at Helian Wei Wei in contempt. “She actually thinks she is something special just because she can chant the Nine Word Mantra.”
The young man started to panic as he heard their exchanges. “Why is the Princess Consort not using any yellow talismans!?”

“Is it really necessary?” Most of the ministers knew nothing about exorcism, but they could make out how important it is through their conversation.
The young man’s tone became increasingly high-pitched as he panicked. “She has to use it! Besides summoning the Reaper, it is also the only way to send them off. Without it, the Reaper would be hard to control!”
Elder Xu Wu laughed from the sidelines and commented sarcastically, “My, my… Isn’t the Third Princess Consort brave.”
Hearing this, Wu Jing stood up suddenly. “Your Highness, why don’t we send in a substitute for the princess consort? If we have to sacrifice someone, it should be us men. How could we allow a woman to defend us like that?”
As he said this, Wu Jing’s gaze swept across those geezers who only knew how to make irresponsible remarks. He clenched his fists angrily.
Elder Xu Wu and Zongzheng Wen Ren took in this scene, which made their lips curl. Now that they were showing their superiority, the War Dragon Empire should regret their actions!
But what they did not expect was Baili Jia Jue’s calm reply. “She has not left the palace for some time, so her claws have been itching for a fight. Since our opponents delivered themselves, let her have a go at it.”
Elder Xu Wu and Zongzheng Wen Ren were stunned. What? Have a go?! They are people, not stray cats or dogs!!! And they are most definitely not punching bags for training!!!
Wu Jing did not expect his prince to say such a thing either, which made him look back in shock.
As expected, not only those from Xuanyuan Kingdom, the other ambassadors from the other two neighboring Kingdoms were red-faced too. They were all thoroughly infuriated.
All of them stood up and shouted to the exorcists of their respective kingdoms, who were getting ready for the summoning. “Go forth and win this!” They were keen to see who would end up being humiliated!
The exorcists took their places, not knowing what had happened.
With one look at His Highness’ smug face, Helian Wei Wei was bright enough to know that he must have said something to infuriate everyone.
Sigh…
She must have some fighting chops of her own to be with a husband with such a venomous tongue.
Helian Wei Wei felt like she was one of those video game players that was constantly fighting the Big Boss. While she was fighting tooth and nail on the frontlines, His Highness was always trailing behind gracefully without a care. Every now and then, he would even help her make more enemies.
Forget it, why did she agree to become the dominant president in the relationship?
Physical fighting was her job anyway.
Someone as pretty as His Highness should just dazzle people with his charm.
She would be the brawn and he would be the beauty.
Yep, they each had their own part to play. It was almost perfect.
These thoughts filled Helian Wei Wei with motivation.
After all, it was one of the skills required of a dominant president to allow one’s partner to live comfortably!
How could she not be excited?
Good thing Heize was not here. If he could hear Helian Wei Wei’s thoughts, he would definitely vomit blood!
His dumb sister was unaware of her own position in her relationship, even up till now!
She was just so frustrating!
Since when has there been a ruling couple where the woman fights on the frontline, while the man plays the beauty. Huh?!!!!
Too bad, Helian Wei Wei would never hear Heize’s thoughts.
“Now, we shall follow the order of right to left, you shall begin the summoning one by one. The same rules applies here, the one with the best time wins.” Elder Xu Wu announced the contest rules. His tone was still full of mockery. “A fair reminder to all, if anything goes wrong in this match, it will not be settled that easily. If some of you are not capable of handling it, it is better not to force yourselves now.”
Everybody knew who Elder Xu Wu’s words were meant for. They all turned their heads and looked at Helian Wei Wei. Some held concern in their eyes while some were filled with mockery…
