Chapter 36: So Valiant, So Charming (2/2)

“Be careful during this time. That person is very proficient in the art of assassination.” Claire felt headache. When an assassin met an assassin, it seemed like neither one could benefit.

“Yes, mistress. I would always stay by your side to protect you.” Jean said extremely seriously.

And there was a party tonight… Claire closed her eyes and sighed. She didn’t want to go if possible.

“Now you know how troublesome it is. You really fueled the trouble; any men would be die vomiting blood because of your insult. I really pity that person. Tricked, defeated, and even stepped on the back. Oh yeah, it is going to be a delightful eternal performance. Now we are going to be pleased.”Walter said, completely opposite of what he was thinking. He was like a raven being steamed, bickering incessantly.

Claire did not say anything but pulled out the Spiritual stone and pinched forcefully on it.

Walter twitched and quieted.

The world was silent.

Jean saw Claire pinch the Spiritual stone then casually put the stone back, her expression was the same as before. Not knowing why, he felt cold. Suddenly he pitied Walter, and somewhat understood why Walter always called Claire a little demon.

The dinner party was held as usual and Claire appeared in a black formal dress and looked brilliant. At this night’s party, she became the main character and naturally, Lashia was not present. The emperor went through the formal speech, and then the party began. Nobles surrounded Claire, and their talking made Claire’s head ache. Many were those who Duke Gordan told her to befriend. But there were also some nobles that stood at a distance, and they all gazed in confusion at her side.

“Okay, everyone, Claire and I have appointment. If you do not mind, I have to borrow Claire for a moment.” Princess Maurice appeared and smiled, keeping “harassments” away from Claire.

Claire’s eyes flashed with gratitude. Princess Maurice and Claire withdrew to the balcony and then Claire let out a light sigh. If it wasn’t for Duke Gordan waving her over, she would have definitely not paid attention to those boring aristocrats.

“Claire, you were really great today.” Princess Maurice’s eyes flashed with light, admiring Claire sincerely.

Claire bitterly laughed and shook her head. Really, in terms of brute force, she was far from being Yixuan Feng’s match. It was just that she won this time using a hidden card. If Yixuan Feng knew she could use Dou Qi, he wouldn’t have so brashly challenged her. But this night, she didn’t seem to have seen that guy’s presence.

“It’s been said that Yixuan Feng has been muddleheaded this whole time, not sober. It’s probably because he was shocked.” Princess Maurice said with a proud smile. In her eyes, Claire was the hero that had completely defeated that guy!

Muddleheaded this whole time? Claire was a bit surprised. What was going on?

Yixuan Feng and Wenmo Shui both didn’t attend the banquet. Yixuan Feng lay on the courier hostel’s bed, not moving at all. Wenmo Shui was aside, guarding him while chewing chicken.

The ambassador was extremely worried about Yixuan Feng’s situation, so he didn’t force them to attend this humiliating sending-off banquet. Yixuan Feng’s background wasn’t something the ambassador could afford to offend.

“Humph! Do you want to die or are you already dead?” Wenmo Shui asked, his words blurry. After Wenmo Shui knew that Yixuan Feng could bear that strike, he wasn’t polite anymore. He sat on a chair nearby with his foot stepping on Yixuan Feng’s butt while chewing roasted chicken.

Yixuan Feng was silent, lying on there, still daydreaming.

“If you didn’t die, then eat something. Wait until the banquet ends and we’ll leave this night. I don’t want to stay at this damned place at all.” Wenmo Shui grumbled while chewing a roasted chicken wing.

“How beautiful, how valiant… ” Yixuan Feng’s tiny voice quietly sounded, seeming like he ignored the Wenmo Shui’s stinky pig foot on his butt.

“What?” Wenmo Shui asked, confused, spitting out the bones in his mouth.

“How valiant, how enchanting she is… ” This time Wenmo Shui heard Yixuan Feng clearly.

What?!!

Wenmo Shui instantly had an ominous premonition.
