Chapter 664 - His Highnesss Venomous Tongue Lashes Out (1/2)

“p.r.o.ne 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.
