“This scoundrel, he really is brazen! He even dares to tease me, the master of the Grand Xia!” Xia Yuyang shook his head as he looked at the astonished Long Chen .

At this time, Long Chen was covering his mouth with both hands and looking at Li Wanji in exaggerated shock . It was like her name had completely stupefied him .

Li Wanji was too refined to even understand what Long Chen was saying . Due to the difference in cultures, she had never even heard that phrase before .

In comparison, Han Wenjun, who was deeply familiar with the Grand Xia’s culture, immediately understood . He icily said, “Long Chen, you go too far . ”

“Hey, has there been some mistake? Did I say something? Please don’t take a general comment as a personal attack . Your own thoughts have nothing to do with me,” said Long Chen righteously .

He hadn’t said it explicitly . He had only vaguely implied that expression without even saying it . There was no way for Han Wenjun to do anything to him over it .

Killing intent raged in Han Wenjun’s eyes . He had lost out more from speaking with Long Chen than he had in his entire life . And he didn’t even have the ability to strike back .

As a result, the atmosphere grew very strange . The Grand Xia’s guards looked at Long Chen with reverence and wors.h.i.+p .

They hated the sanctimonious fellows from the Grand Han the most, especially because their words always contained hidden thorns . Seeing Han Wenjun’s hidden thorns be easily destroyed by Long Chen and how infuriated he was by just a few words from Long Chen, they felt incredibly refreshed .

Long Chen led the way without saying a word . Han Wenjun, Li Wanji, and the hundreds of people accompanying them also didn’t say anything .

The atmosphere was tense and heavy . As they followed the central path straight forward, quite a few maidens ended up cheering from the sides .

Han Wenjun finally smiled . He began to wave at those maidens and smiled warmly, enticing quite a few sharp cries from them . It went without saying that Han Wenjun’s position in the hearts of the Grand Xia’s maidens had reached an unprecedented level . Countless maidens wors.h.i.+pped him .

Their cheering and cries allowed Han Wenjun to regain his confidence . He constantly waved at them while glancing at Long Chen . A touch of ridicule appeared in Long Chen’s eyes .

Did this idiot think he was so amazing because he was able to get the adoration of some ignorant maidens who lived in a world of peace and prosperity? Any woman that had really seen the world wouldn’t give him a second look . He wasn’t a man, nor was he a woman .

Long Chen didn’t even look at Han Wenjun or pay any attention to those almost fanatical maidens . He simply continued onwards .

“The Grand Xia’s maidens are so welcoming and sharp-eyed . They can tell who’s the pearl with just a glance . No matter how conspicuous the place the soybean places itself in, it’s still just a bean and won’t attract others . ” Li Wanji approached Long Chen and muttered to herself .

Although she didn’t know what Long Chen’s previous words had meant, just from the expressions on Han Wenjun and their guards’ faces, she knew they hadn’t been nice words .

Now seeing that Han Wenjun was so popular, she once more began to target Long Chen, wanting to use Han Wenjun’s charisma to suppress him . All these maidens were focused on Han Wenjun . None of them looked at Long Chen .

“They can tell who the pig[1] is? Well said . ” Long Chen didn’t retort . Instead, he gave her a thumbs-up .

Li Wanji didn’t even understand what he had said . Thinking he was admitting defeat, she became even more confident, lightly saying, “Compared to the Grand Xia, my Grand Han’s men have more flavor . ”

Long Chen nodded . “Yes, there’s no way for me to argue against that . The Grand Xia’s men truly have no smell . On the other hand, the Grand Han’s men are covered in the smell of makeup . It’s truly a strong smell . ”[2]

“You… you’re clearly just jealous . Tens of thousands of maidens are cheering for my prince Wenjun, while you, Long Chen, do you see a single person glancing at you?” sneered Li Wanji .

“Birds of a feather flock together . Women all like to get closer to themselves, as they find it easier to get along . If this was a crowd of men instead, they’d have long since started fighting over how crowded it was . But look, your prince Wenjun is so liked by all these maidens . This is the result of women not liking to fight amongst women . They all like to cheer each other on,” said Long Chen lightly .

Now, no matter how stupid Li Wanji was, she could still tell Long Chen was ridiculing Han Wenjun for being effeminate and not really a man . The reason why the women liked him so much was that they viewed him as a sister .

“Long Chen, your mouth really is vicious! You’re the one who’s not a man!” raged Li Wanji .

Li Wanji was not actually a part of the Grand Han’s imperial family . However, she was a rank eight Celestial, and her position was extremely high in the Grand Han . Her status was almost equivalent to a member of the imperial family .

Unable to out-talk Long Chen, she began to launch a personal attack without the slightest finesse . But Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to say anything back to her . They continued onward .

Following the main road, they quickly reached the imperial city at the center of Grand Xia City . Music began to thrum through the air as entertainers came to greet them in accordance with the etiquette of the Grand Xia .

At the entrance into the imperial city, he saw Xia Yunchong, Xia Youluo, and the other members of the imperial family . Xia Youluo was in her best clothes and adornments, looking like a lotus flower breaking out of the water . When she saw Han Wenjun, she turned completely red, filled with excitement and delight .

“Prince Wenjun has come a long way . Please forgive me for not being able to receive you sooner . ” The one in charge of receiving them here was not Xia Yunchong, but another prince .

Xia Yunchong was focused on the martial path, and he had no heart to control the nation . The third prince Xia Yunfeng was currently acting as the crown prince, and so he was the one in charge of receiving them .
