Chapter 675 - His Highness Is Participating Personally! (1/2)

“Lord Liu, I’m the only volunteer! At the very least, I’ve learned some spells before!” the teenager said hurriedly. His face was pale and it was obvious that he was scared. However, despite the fear, he was determined to defend his own country!

Nevertheless, he would almost certainly lose his life!

As a scholar-official, Liu Yu could not bear to watch a young boy sending himself to an early grave.

Elder Xu Wu had definitely predicted Liu Yu’s reaction, and therefore, he pressed on.

Zongzheng Yu Er raised her concern in a m.u.f.fled tone as if she was worried for Helian Wei Wei, “If they fail to gather enough members to form a team, then will the Third Princess Consort automatically lose the game?”

“According to the compet.i.tion rules, yes, she will lose the game.” Elder Xu Wu spoke in a righteous tone as though the rules of the contest were fair. However, any sensible man could tell that the rules were only biased toward one of the two parties.

Zongzheng Yu Er wiped the corner of her mouth again with her handkerchief before she spoke in a worried tone, “In that case, I guess we have no other option. It seems that the War Dragon Dynasty is unable to send another representative.”

Listening to the conversation, the teenager got really anxious and cried, “Lord Liu!”

After a brief hesitation, Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said, “If that’s the case…”

Before he could continue, he was interrupted by a familiar graceful and fruity voice that came from the main seat. “I shall partic.i.p.ate, then.”

What?

Everyone turned their heads to find the source of the voice!

All eyes were fixed on Baili Jia Jue as he lowered his legs onto the ground and slowly rose to his feet. His black cloak cascaded down his back, all the way to his ankles. However, it was not dirtied by even a speck of dust. His perfect side profile resembled an intricate ice sculpture as it glowed brilliantly like a diamond, while his hair fluttered in the wind. He appeared like a deity who ruled the entire world!

His succinct statement sent the entire Great Hall into chaos!

Immediately, the ministers objected unanimously, “Your Highness, you must not!”

Liu Yu, too, expressed his disapproval. He knelt to the ground on one knee. “Your Highness, exorcism is different from martial Qi. This time, the hostile ghosts, that can possess humans, will be present as well, you…”

“So, the hostile ghosts will possess me?” A half smile was painted across Baili Jia Jue’s lips. “I’d like to see which hostile ghost has the guts to possess me.”

Liu Yu parted his lips as if he had something to say.

Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei had already brought Baili Jia Jue into his position. “Later, you must stand behind me. I will be on the front line dealing with the hostile ghosts. Remember, never let the ghosts see you. Otherwise, with your beautiful face, the ghosts will probably rape you.”

Having heard this, Liu Yu was stunned. Raped? Is this even important now?

“Alright.” At this moment, His Highness was surprisingly obedient. He casually followed behind Helian Wei Wei as if he was waiting to be served, looking as elegant as always.

The little one shook his head and thought to himself, the Master has absolutely no shame. How can he be at ease and let Third Aunt fight alone in front while he hides behind her and absorb the aura of resentment?

Green Dragon and Fire Qilin knew exactly what was going on. Normally, the hostile ghosts would not appear in front of the Master. They would, after sensing the danger, immediately flee the scene.

However, since the Princess Consort would be s.h.i.+elding the Master, the hostile ghosts could barely detect his presence.

Then, the Master would only have to simply just stand there and bathe in the aura of resentment.
