Chapter 673 - Helian Wei Wei And His Highness Displaying Their Affections (1/2)

“Your Highness!” Xuan Bing let out a final cry his lips right before the Alsatian bit him in his throat.

At this moment, not a single part of Xuan Bing’s body was unhurt. Before his death, he recalled how he used to treat the Alsatian brutally. At that time, he did not stop after he broke the Alsatian’s left leg with a wooden stick and proceeded to injure its tendon with a sword. If it was not for that, the Alsatian’s leg would have already regrown. Now, he had to pay for it. Half of his left leg had been bitten off by the Alsatian. Even if the Alsatian did not attack him again, he would bleed to death within half an hour.

Xuan Bing lay in a pool of his own blood. His pale lips were constantly s.h.i.+vering as he let out a heart-rending wail.

He knew he could no longer be saved as both the elder and the Crown Prince had given up on him.

The only being who did not give up on him was the Alsatian.

Yet, he tortured it to death.

Humans were only remorseful when they were on the brink of death.

However, it was all too late for Xuan Bing to make any changes at this moment. He could only watch as the four reapers extracted his soul with an iron chain, locked it firmly and left without looking back!

The ministers were unsure if it was their imagination but they had a feeling that the reapers were trying to run away.

It can’t be.

We must have made a mistake.

Haha. How can the reapers be afraid of humans?

Unbeknownst to them, the reapers were engaged in a discussion under their breaths.

“Youngest brother, can you take a look behind our back and check if the Great Demon King has caught up with us?”

“Eldest brother, please do not scare me! I’m timid!”

Helian Wei Wei, who understood the entire situation, remained silent.

Although the bloodstains on the walls of the Great Hall appeared distressing, after listening to the reapers’ words, the audience were certain that Xuan Bing’s end was the ramification of his own evil deeds.

At this point, the results of the compet.i.tion seemed more than obvious.

Helian Wei Wei had achieved absolute victory!

10 reapers!

Not only had she summoned them, she even made them speak!

The ministers of the War Dragon Dynasty were apparently amused as they stared at Helian Wei Wei as though she was their heroine.

Even the old minister, who previously knelt before Baili Jia Jue and suggested the marriage of convenience, lowered his head and apologized to Helian Wei Wei, “Lord Yu and I beg for Third Princess Consort’s pardon as we made things difficult for you earlier. We were just… we were really just trying to do our best to protect our nation and the people.”

“Both of you have been serving the empire for three generations. Not only that, you work for the Retired Emperor. You did not put me, but the Third Prince, in a difficult situation. Indeed, we should always be humble and polite toward the messengers who hailed from the neighboring countries. However, being modest doesn’t suggest that we have to give in. As the strong and independent War Dragon Dynasty, do we really have to resort to the marriage of convenience to sustain our nation’s pride? Ministers, you should understand that a great man fights when it is time to fight. That is how you should serve the emperor! It is not hard to understand His Highness. He genuinely appreciates your contribution to the nation. So, please do not disappoint him. Remember this. The man who provokes the War Dragon Dynasty, though far away, we shall vanquis.h.!.+” Helian Wei Wei’s words were bold yet graceful. The audience were uplifted and especially moved by her last statement. “The man who provokes the War Dragon Dynasty, though far away, we shall vanquis.h.!.+”

All the present generals throw their arms into the air before they made a loud cheer!

This was the prestige and power the War Dragon Dynasty was supposed to carry!

A long time ago, there was a saying that went like this.

We are a great country.

Our upbringing tells us not to steal, not to mug, and not to invade.

However, it does not signify weakness and incompetence.
