Chapter 351: Your Majesty, Look! That’s Him!

You want to cut your toenails? What do you mean?

The crowd was puzzled as they could understand what he meant.

But the next moment, they saw Xu Que holding a tiny gadget. Click! A small part of his toenail was snipped off. Everyone stared in shock!

D*mn, he’s really clipping his toenails!

Brother! You’re really daring. You’re cutting your toenails at a time like this? You should see what kind of occasion this is!

This is the Imperial Tombs Contest which the Emperor and the Empress Dowager value seriously. And you’re actually cutting your toenails right now?

The Seventh Princess was dumbstruck as well.

Just a while ago, Xu Que had been condemning those who were acting too pretentious. But the next second, he was doing the same by cutting his toenails in public!

Fortunately, most of the people were rushing down the mountain, and the Emperor’s attention was focused on the foot of the mountain. He was looking at the contestants in the race, and did not srr what was happening at the Third Prince’s area. Otherwise, if the crowd and the Emperor had seen what Xu Que was doing, they would have all been enraged.

"Xu... Young Master Xu, this is uncomely!" exclaimed the Seventh Princess anxiously, moving a step forward to block him from the view of others.

The Third Prince and his group also gathered around Xu Que to help obstruct the view. While doing so, their mouths twitched repeatedly.

After all, this had really been considered an improper act since ancient times. If the Emperor saw that, it was possible that he would get angry and have a bad impression of the whole group. That would affect the Third Prince’s bid for the position of Crown Prince!

"Xu Que, could you not do this?"

"How could you cut your toenails in public?"

"This is unsightly!"

"Quick, put it away and put on your shoes. After the contest is over, this prince will arrange for a few women to help you trim your nails!" promised the Third Prince solemnly.

Xu Que raised an eyebrow, seemingly interested. "Besides trimming nails, are there any other special services included?"

"Special services? What do you mean?" The Third Prince was confounded.

"We’re all men, you should know!" Xu Que gave a wink and a knowing smile.

The princes were all baffled and at a loss. They thought, if you don’t tell us directly, how would we know?

"Sigh, forget it, all of you are too young. Anyway, I’ve finished cutting them. Just have a good look at my performance!"

Xu Que smiled and shook his head. He got up and put away the nail clipper. At the same time he saw that his Acting Tough Points had increased by quite a lot.

The Third Prince, Seventh Princess and the rest were relieved to see that Xu Que had stopped the nail clipping.

"Young Master Xu, what kind of divine chariot will you be using this time?" asked the Seventh Princess who seemed to be looking forward to seeing his divine chariot.

She had just received news that Xu Que had driven a bright yellow divine chariot during the Trial of the Sword Catacomb. That chariot could transform into something that was similar to their ancient armored puppet, and was very powerful. She wanted to seize the opportunity to see it for herself.

However, Xu Que’s Bumblebee had expired!

When he had first opened up the Big Act Tough King Bag, the countdown timer of three days for Bumblebee had already started. The Imperial Tombs Contest was happening on the fourth day, so Xu Que could not use it anymore!

Although Xu Que felt that it was a pity, nevertheless, there was nothing he could do. The System was destined to be a scheming one!

So now... which car should he use then?

Xu Que instantly sank into deep contemplation. He called out the System Store and began to choose from the wide variety of vehicles available. His facial expressions showed his conflict.

There were a lot of bends in this racing course, and so the number of sports cars or racing cars that could perform well in such conditions was pretty limited. After all, there were many factors that needed to be considered. The best choice would be a modified car.

Soon, the Third Prince saw that Xu Que was remaining quiet and seemed to be struggling to make a decision. He decided to offer some assistance. "Xu Que, if your divine chariot cannot be used, this prince can give you a high-level divine chariot as a gift!"

"No need for that! I’m not used to using your country’s divine chariots!" Xu Que waved his hands and continued to browse the store interface page by page in his head.

The Third Prince was tongue-tied and looked at the princess and his younger brothers!

By now, all the other contestants had gathered at the foot of the mountain. Almost all of them had prepared their own divine chariots and had lined up accordingly. Many eunuchs and guards were responsible for making sure that everything was in order!

Seeing that the contest was about to start soon, the Seventh Princess, the Third Prince and their group were getting increasingly tense.

"Young Master Xu, are you ready?" asked the Seventh Princess softly.

Xu Que suddenly looked serious. He was staring at the System interface and his eyes seemed to be shining in delight!

"Finally found it, the upgraded version of AE86!"

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a full smile. He looked at the princess and laughed casually. "Rest assured, princess! The first place for this race shall belong to this Speed Star!"

With that, Xu Que suddenly turned and with a wisp of lightning, dashed towards the foot of the mountain!

"Eh..."

The Seventh Princess was slightly stunned and couldn’t quite digest what Xu Que had just said.

The princes were confused as well.

"Did he just say... that he’s going to take first place for the race?

"No way, he’s joking, right?"

"Where did his confidence come from? If there hadn’t been Chariot King Zhang, Qi Yun Fei and the rest of the elites, maybe there would still be hope, but unfortunately..."

"Never mind, I just hope that he can perform well and steadily. I won’t ask for the top three positions, I just hope he can get into the top five!"

"Yes, as long as he can get into the top five and we work hard in the second round, there will be much hope for the bid for Crown Prince!"

As the princes finished expressing their opinions, they nodded their heads slightly.

The Seventh Princess remained silent. Although she believed that Xu Que was definitely strong, she had yet to witness it herself. Thus, she could not say anything.

Plus, the people who had come to participate in the contest today were too strong. She hadn’t expected that the other contending princes would be capable enough to invite Chariot King Zhang and reputable divine chariot masters like Qi Yun Fei and the like!

This situation was far beyond their expectations!

Therefore, they had revised their expectations and only hoped that Xu Que would be able to get into the top five position so that the Third Prince could have a shot.

By now, Xu Que had arrived at the foot of the mountain, but did not attract much attention!

Boom!

The next moment, he revealed the brand new car that he had rented from the System Store. Everyone turned their attention on him.

The appearance of a sleek and exquisite car amongst the divine chariots was indeed very sudden and showy!

Xu Que had chosen to rent the AE86, Takumi Fujiwara’s racing car. It was white and black in color and certainly looked cool!

However, the AE86 that Xu Que had was a modified version whereby the engine had been replaced and the front hood was painted black!

This car would definitely be enough to dominate!

Many people were looking on curiously at the strange-looking but beautiful chariot in their modst, discussing amongst themselves.

Even the Metal Emperor was alerted and was astonished. He looked at Xu Que with interest, as well as his AE86!

Not far away, a eunuch also looked at Xu Que. When he saw the face of Xu Que clearly, he was shocked!

It’s him! It’s absolutely him!

This handsome face, even if it turned to ashes, I would still be able to recognise it! the eunuch thought.

Immediately, the eunuch communicated to the Empress Dowager using soul strength, "Your Majesty, this lowly servant has found that lewd and extremely daring scum!"

"Oh? Where is he?" The mature and commanding voice of the Empress Dowager resounded in the eunuch’s head.

The eunuch wasted no time and replied, "Your Majesty, look, that’s him! It’s the handsome young man who is standing beside the weird-looking black and white divine chariot!"
