Chapter 657 - Queen Wei Weis Counterattack (Part 1) (2/2)

Zongzheng Yu Er did not want things to become too awkward. She knew that Helian Wei Wei held a special place in that person’s heart, so she tugged at Elder Xu Wu’s sleeve once again, opening her mouth to speak, “Elder Sister, it’s been five years. Yu Er thought you would wed into the Murong Residence, but never have I imagined that you would enter the palace.”

Upon hearing this, Helian Wei Wei furrowed her thin brows. Is this Xuanyuan princess implying that we knew each other before this?

However, she did not have any memory of the other girl at all.

Could it be that Zongzheng Yu Er had come across the original Helian Wei Wei when she was searching for Soul Fragments?

“Elder Sister should know that Yu Er has admired His Highness since young. Even after so many years, that has not changed.” As she spoke, Zongzheng Yu Er’s cheeks glowed rosy, making her seem so innocent and shy.

Hearing this, the exorcists could not help the envy brewing in them. None of them had expected that a woman would be brave enough to openly declare her love for someone. The Third Prince must have saved the entire universe in his past life to be granted this blessing!

“I hope that Elder Sister would grant my wish,” Zongzheng Yu Er bit down on her thin lips, putting her pitiful expression on full display.

This expression made hearts melt all around them.

“Third Princess Consort, why don’t you just say yes to Princess Yu Er?” The messenger of the Huangzi Nation had just been humiliated by Helian Wei Wei a while ago, so, driven by his sole motive of getting his ego back, he smiled and said, “Such a touching love story; can the Third Princess Consort bear to stand in their way?”

Helian Wei Wei sent a glare flying toward the messenger and slowly got to her feet. With the flick of a finger, she lifted the hooded cloak off her head and tossed it onto her seat, revealing her angelic features. She had on a robe resembling that of an exorcist’s, but around her shoulders was a shawl of white fur, accentuating her overwhelmingly gorgeous face. With her slim body and curved lips, the imposing presence of her stern aura seemed to press down on every head in the room. A single raised brow would be naturally met with the attention of those around her.

Zongzheng Wen Ren’s hand paused, suspending his cup of tea mid-air, and it was as if his eyes could only contain that one person.

If Zongzheng Yu Er’s beauty was pure and fresh, like water…

Then it would only be fitting that Helian Wei Wei’s beauty was described as brilliant and smoldering, putting even the sun to shame. It was as if she had an invisible grip around everyone’s hearts.

Just one glance, and it would be impossible for one to forget her!

In addition to that was her voice and expressions, which were practically dripping with honey. It made people long for a second glance after taking that first look, lost in her spell.

It was not that Zongzheng Wen Ren had never seen Helian Wei Wei before, but it was just that at that time, she was still young and spoke very softly.

Brus.h.i.+ng right past him now, not lingering for even a moment, was a pair of bright eyes that glistened like stars in the night sky. She walked as if no one around was comparable to her, like she was a completely different person, so eye-catching that the luxurious hall was simply a backdrop to her bewildering beauty.

The messenger of the Huangzi Nation had not expected that Helian Wei Wei to be such a gorgeous being, for what he had seen of her before was merely her chin, as she sat far on top, with the hooded cape draped over half her face.

Now that Helian Wei Wei had stepped closer, her breathtaking face seemed a thousand times more stunning than when she revealed it at the top.

As of now, it was so deathly silent in the hall that you could hear a pin drop.

Even Zongzheng Yu Er herself had not expected such a beauty to emerge. She bit down harder on her bottom lip as she called out, “Elder Sister.”

Helian Wei Wei halted her footsteps by her side and cast her gaze downward. However, it did not land on her, instead, she stared Zongzheng Wen Ren right in his eyes. “Crown Prince, could it be that all of you from the Xuanyuan Kingdom have this peculiar hobby of becoming concubines?”

As she finished speaking…

Be it Zongzheng Wen Ren, Zongzheng Yu Er, or Elder Xu Wu – their faces soured in the blink of an eye.

Helian Wei Wei smiled, adding, “Zongzheng Yu Er, right? You want me to grant your wish? You’ve even slapped a label on me for being an ‘insensible’ person, right? Before laying eyes on Baili Jia Jue, did you not know that he already has a wife?”
