Chapter 654: Her Highness Wei Wei (Humiliation: Part 2)

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

When the conservative ministers observed His Highness’ attitude, they became immensely worried. They racked their brains to strike up a conversation with the two messengers to prevent any further dissatisfaction. Hence, one of them held up his cup and said, “Both gentlemen have traveled from afar, it must be exhausting, right?”

“It’s not that exhausting, but the Capital is not as lively as the rumors say. When we entered the city, there aren’t many hawkers around.” The messengers smiled sarcastically, as he was obviously indirectly mocking the War Dragon Empire, saying that it was not as mighty as the rumors foretold.

The ministers clearly understood his hidden vice but they were afraid of disrupting the peace if they retort back. They could only smile and act as if they did not understand.

Baili Jia Jue remained expressionless. He merely smiled and drank a cup of wine. Then, he glanced at the minister.

The minister suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

“Since Minister Ge cannot answer this question...” Baili Jia Jue fiddled with the white porcelain cup in his hand and spoke calmly, “Then there is no need for him to attend the banquet, take him away.”

The last three words he uttered submerged the Great Hall in absolute iciness.

Both of the messengers were stunned, suddenly forgetting what they should say or do next.

Minister Ge was unaware of his mistake, but the shadow guards suddenly appeared and snatched his feathered hat away. He shouted, “Your Highness, Your Highness!”

Helian Wei Wei was not surprised by that result when she heard it. The messengers harbored evil intentions, yet Minister Ge tried to grovel to them. This was a humiliation to the War Dragon Empire. His Highness would definitely take his life, no doubt.

Baili Jia Jue still seemed indifferent but the faintly welcoming smile still hung from his face. It was as if taking a person’s life was nothing to him.

Both of the messengers could not make heads or tails out of the situation as they thought to themselves. Why does the Third Prince act do things so strangely?

The exorcists sitting at the side did not realize the underlying malice and continued to chuckle, saying, “It’s probably because of the Seal’s problem which they couldn’t solve. That’s why the Capital seems desolate.”

Liu Yu noticed that the conversation was heading south and began to feel livid. It was all because of Minister Ge. He had caused them to lose the advantage and gave the opponents a head start.

Both of the messengers broke into a peal of laughter and was about to speak.

Suddenly, they heard someone saying, “Little Seven, tell them why there aren’t many people on the streets in the Capital now.”

The ministers heard the sound and turned toward the direction of the voice. Helian Wei Wei rested her face on a single palm, smiling languidly as her eyes darkened.

The little guy was holding a meat dumpling and answered naturally, “The weather is cold, who would still be outside. They are doing their business in the tea houses. Do they not have some common sense? What a waste of our time.”

Hearing that, Helian Wei Wei immediately acted as if she was reprimanding the little one and said, “Little Seven, how many times have I taught you. Do not look down on other countries just because they are smaller, weaker, and ignorant. We should be more broad-minded.”

“I’m handsome and broad-minded.” Little Seventh Prince nodded in reply, looking extremely obedient as he said, “I won’t make fun of them.”

Both messengers were rendered speechless in disbelief.

They are broad-minded by saying that our countries are small and weak?

Aren’t they indirectly insulting us?

Yet, they say they aren’t making fun of us!

The exorcists so furious they almost stood up.

Both of the messengers halted them and ordered in a deep tone, “Don’t act rashly.”

“Do we just let them say whatever they want?” The exorcists were fuming with anger as they had never received such treatment before.

Helian Wei Wei looked from the top and chuckled gently, asking sarcastically, “What’s wrong with both of the messengers? Why is everyone standing up?”

The exorcists gritted their teeth angrily and thought to themselves, So! You knew what happened! Where does this lady come from? How dare she talk in such a degrading manner!

“Are there any issues with what Little Seven said just now?” Helian Wei Wei picked up the cup beside her hand and spoke casually, “He’s still young and innocent. Your countries handled matters with tolerance usually, you surely won’t dispute about it with a young child, yes?”

“No, we won’t!” The words were spat out from between the messengers’ teeth.

However, the exorcists refused to allow the matter to rest.

The messengers berated them quietly, “Do you really want to pick a fight with a kid? Did you all not listen that she used the word ‘tolerance’? If this continues, the one that will be humiliated is us!”

The exorcists’ hands twitched, but they could only sit down with looking greatly dissatisfied.

Both of the messengers were equally disheartened. Originally, they wanted to use this opportunity to insult the other party, but they could have never imagined that the one on the short end would be them!

However, unexpectedly, that was not all.

Helian Wei Wei looked at one of the exorcists and said, “Did you stare at our Little Seven just now?”

The exorcist simply ignored her and snorted coldly.

Helian Wei Wei languidly smiled and sneered, “Apologize to him.”

“What did you say...”

The exorcist was going to yell at Helian Wei Wei when she interrupted him, “Messenger Wang, this exorcist is a citizen of Huangzi Nation. Does your country not teach him that he should act appropriately when meeting different people? Little Seven is the Seventh Prince of the War Dragon Empire, so his status is much higher above him. However, the exorcist acted so arrogantly. Someone who disobeys the rules in the War Dragon Empire will only have one end, which is...death.”

Helian Wei Wei uttered the last word with an obvious grin.

The messenger of Huangzi Nation was completely dumbfounded.

The exorcist’s eyes blazed with anger.

Helian Wei Wei continued indifferently, “Of course, the rules in each country differ. Since you arrived as a guest, I’m not sure how your country educates its citizens. However, at least the people in the War Dragon Empire don’t bully children.”

The messenger replied, “Our country, Huangzi Nation, also does not....”

“Our Little Seven is timid and cannot be frightened.” Helian Wei Wei had no intention to listen to him. After finishing her sentence, she glanced at the little one.

The little one quickly bowed his head, rubbing his eyes with his small hands as his shoulders begin to tremble, showcasing a pitiful ‘the-entire-world-is-hurting-me’ look.

The exorcist’s eyes widened. Just, just now this child was not afraid at all, his expression changed too suddenly!

“Sigh, it seems like he’s crying.” Helian Wei Wei let out a long sigh and carried the child, consoling him, “Don’t cry, Little Seven. Messenger Wang knows what to do.”

Messenger Wang’s expression went completely ashen pale. The muscles at his mandibles twitched ruthlessly as he clenched his fist and loudly roared with a deep voice, “Yue Lu! Apologize to the Seventh Prince!”
