The middle of the hall was cleared. Shen Pin cheered Ming Shu on with a hand sign.
Ming Shu: â...â
Why am I fighting a man for a man...
F**k?!
After I finish this fight, I must teach the little demon a lesson.
Shen Pin didnât know what was going to happen to him. He was still immersed in happiness.
Huan Li took off his outerwear. The clothes inside were red too. Without the outerwear, he felt lighter.
âPlease.â
Ming Shu raised her leg and kicked him.
Huan Li almost got hit. He dodged the leg. Ming Shu attacked with her palm. Huan Li was at a disadvantage.
Ming Shu gained the upper hand due to her surprise attack so once Huan Li regained his composure, she lost her advantage.
If she lost, her partner would be sentenced to death.
Huan Li realized that Ming Shuâs attacks got quicker. Every time he felt that he was about to hit her, she would evade his attack.
Ming Shu pressed Huan Liâs arm down. Huan Li blocked Ming Shuâs legs. Both of them paused for a while.
Ming Shu lowered her voice. âI can really find you everywhere, Luo Yan.â
Huan Liâs voice changed. He gritted his teeth. âDo you think that I have it easy?â
He didnât know how these two people managed to meet in every single world. He couldnât do it.
He spent so much effort, but he wasnât able to find them.
He just wanted to go back.
He was willing to be Qi Yuâs servant for a month if he could go back.
They parted and exchanged a few blows and then paused again.
Ming Shu said, âDonât think about getting him.â
Luo Yan replied, âI can only go back if he helps. Donât you know that staying in these worlds for a long time will harm us? You are harming him.â
Ming Shu asked, âHow do I know if youâre telling the truth?â
Luo Yan said, âMy dear sister, do I have to lie to you now? I just want to go back.â
He was going crazy.
Ming Shu kicked Luo Yanâs chest. Luo Yan stumbled a few steps back and slammed into a table.
He raised his hand. âIâm not fighting anymore.â
He came here because he wanted to get close to Shen Pin. If not, he would never do such a thing.
Since Ming Shu knew everything now, it was useless for him to do anything else.
He said everything he needed to.
It was up to her now.
Luo Yan tidied his clothes and asked his servant to help him put on his outerwear. âYour Majesty, I admit defeat. I will not be marrying the princess. I heard that the scenery at Fengqi imperial city is amazing. Can I stay here for some time?â
Shen Yu: â???â
Why is this happening?
Shen Yu frowned. âThis is not childâs play.â
Luo Yan smiled. âYour Majesty, the prime minister started everything first. I was not able to defeat her so I admitted defeat. As for the other business, we will not go back on our words. You donât have to worry about that.â
Shen Yu didnât know what to say. Her prime minister and her princess...
âSince you like the imperial city, you are welcome to stay...â Shen Yu said. âIf you need anything, you can tell the Minister of Rituals.â
Luo Yan got his answer and left immediately. âIâll take my leave now.â
Luo Yan left with his ambassadors.
â...â
...
After the ambassadors left, it was time to deal with her own people.
âThe rest of you can leave.â
Shen Yu shouted.
Everyone was already frightened so they didnât hesitate and left instantly.
This was too scary.
âYou can go back too.â Shen Yu let go of Shaoyao.
Shaoyaoâs hand was red. He rubbed his hand and answered, âYes.â
The two Elders were left behind. Actually, Shen Yu didnât want to stay with Ming Shu alone, but she would never admit that she was afraid of her.
Once the door closed, Shen Yu glared at Ming Shu and Shen Pin angrily. âSeventh sister, Prime Minister, what are you all doing?â
Since Ming Shu already said it, she would not go back on her words. âDonât worry, Your Majesty. I will marry Her Highness.â
Shen Yu: â...â Donât worry about what?!
âPrime Minister, do you know what your gender is?â
âGender is not an issue,â Ming Shu said.
â...â
Shen Yu couldnât win against Ming Shu in an argument so she directed her anger at Shen Pin. âSeventh sister!â
Shen Pin replied calmly. âYour Majesty, I like Prime Minister.â
âYou like...â Shen Yu shook with anger. âYou like her? She is a female just like you. How can you like her? How will you explain this to your mother? How are you going to face our ancestors?â
Shen Yu looked at her intently. What on earth are they trying to do?
Love?
She wouldnât believe them...
Elder Feng persuaded, âYour Highness, donât make a mistake. No one has ever done such a thing before. You are a princess. How can you...â
âIf Iâm not...â
âYour Majesty, the past doesnât represent the future.â Ming Shu stopped Shen Pin. âI will marry Shen Pin. If you have anything against it, you must get rid of me first.â
âYou...â
Ming Shu gave them an irritating smile and pulled Shen Pin away.
âJing Se, stop it!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo way.â Ming Shu waved her hand.
Shen Yu was so angry she grabbed an ornament beside her and threw it at Ming Shu.
âGuards!â Shen Yu shouted.
The imperial guards outside came in.
âBring her back.â Shen Yu pointed at Ming Shu. She was afraid of going overboard last time but now, she just wanted to kill her. If she were dead, those people couldnât do anything on their own.
Ming Shu looked at the imperial guards.
âI donât want to fight,â Ming Shu muttered. âI have not eaten my fill.â
Shen Pin: â...â
However, when the imperial guards charged at her, she lifted the small table beside her and threw it at them. Then, she grabbed a weapon from one of the imperial guards.
âDead or alive, catch her,â Shen Yu shouted furiously.
Elder Feng wanted to stop Shen Yu, but couldnât. Elder Zhang lowered her head. She didnât dare to look.
With Shen Yuâs words, the imperial guards became more violent. Ming Shu pulled Shen Pin back. Shen Pin appeared to be frightened. Ming Shu gave him full points for his acting skills. Look at his eyes and his actions. Impressive.
The screams from the imperial guards echoed through the hall.
Shen Yu looked at her imperial guards as they were subdued by Ming Shu.
Her expression turned fearful. Her face was pale.
Shen Yu didnât know when Ming Shu left. By the time she regained her senses, there was only Elder Feng and her left in the hall.
Elder Feng waited for Shen Yu to finish venting her anger.
âYour Majesty...â
Shen Yu trembled with rage. âHow dare she fight my men.â
âYour Majesty, the prime minister is not afraid of you...â Elder Feng frowned. âThe imperial guards couldnât stop her and even the assassins we sent didnât succeed in their mission.â
Shen Yuâs face turned cold. She wanted Ming Su to die on the battlefield but instead, she won the war and came back alive.
Shen Yu slowly sat back on her dragon chair. âElder Feng, do you believe that she likes Sister Seven?â
Elder Feng hesitated before replying, âIâm not sure. She didnât have any interaction with Princess Seven before this, but if they are really planning something, they will not create such a huge fuss.â
