C72 Quarrelling Pair!

Linshang City's Prince Palace:

At the front, any guest could see two mighty lion sculptures. They were each around 20 feet tall and seemed alive. They sat on the left and the right of the door, guarding the door.

It was positively a domineering display of might.

In the middle of the stone lions, there stood a more than 20 feet wide and half a meter thick door. It was made of some unknown material and covered in red lacquer. It was over 10 feet tall and was extremely heavy.

Just pushing the two doors would require the strength of two 9-star Martial Disciples.

Zhan Tianming had never seen such a palace before.

'Is it even real?'

'What a shocking sight!'

"Don't make a fuss," Feng Wushuang said softly and pinched Zhan Tianming.

"Hey beauty, this isn't your body(...yet). Can't you be a bit more gentle?" The corner of Zhan Tianming's mouth twitched, and he could not help but say with contempt.

"Humph!" Feng Wushuang snorted.

After passing through the gate, the palace's interior appeared before their eyes.

Even though it was technically the interior, it was actually more of a runway for troops.

After a horse ride of another 10 minutes, they arrived at a brightly lit courtyard door.

A person who looked like a butler stepped forward, followed by two rows of servants.

"Greetings, Princess Wushuang!"

"Get up."

"Thank you, Princess Wushuang."

Soon, Zhan Tianming and Feng Wushuang were brought to a unique courtyard.

Zhan Tianming looked at Feng Wushuang and said, "I say, beauty, there is one thing I do not understand. Why did you choose me? Although I am handsome, elegant, graceful, dashing, and more charming than Bradley Cooper and Brad Pitt combined—do you have any other reason? I'm curious."

Hearing Zhan Tianming's incomparably boastful words, Feng Wushuang immediately rolled his eyes.

"Humph! With your looks, this Princess wouldn't have even looked at you twice. Had that crybaby not been forcing this Princess and you weren't coincidentally passing by, I would've never looked for you."

Zhan Tianming was speechless; it was a huge blow.

'It can't be! Am I ugly in this tomboy's eyes?'

'It can only mean one thing... Something is wrong with her eyes!'

Although the adjectives before were a little exaggerated, it wasn't like he was the hunchback of Notre Dame in real life. Mind you, our protagonist was quite the handsome hunk.

Finally, Zhan Tianming asked, "But, didn't that crybaby already leave? So, why did you still drag me here if he had already left?"

"Shh! Lower your voice."

Feng Wushuang put a finger to her lips.

"Oh." Zhan Tianming nodded.

Feng Wushuang then explained, "Actually, that crybaby was just one of them. Most importantly, I want to provoke that ugly Zongzheng Wanyou."

"Zongzheng Wanyou?" Zhan Tianming was slightly startled.

He was still unaware that the evil princess of his fantasies was called Zongzheng Wanyou.

"Yes, Zongzheng Wanyou." Feng Wushuang nodded.

"Since you just want to provoker her, with your identity as the princess, you could've found someone who is even more handsome in your eyes. Why did you have to choose me?" Zhan Tianming still did not understand, so he raised his eyebrows as if to say: "Am I so handsome that you just couldn't find someone more attractive than me?"

"Humph! If I had a choice, do you think I would choose you?" Feng Wushuang said in disdain.

"Huuuck!" Zhan Tianming choked.

'This blow...'

'Isn't it too cruel?'

Her ability to insult others was simply a super ultimate skill.

Zhan Tianming felt as if a gigantic fist had just smashed his ego.

KO!

He wanted to vomit blood and fall to the ground—at least that was what his emotions conveyed.

Feng Wushuang completely ignored Zhan Tianming's expression. With a helpless face, she said, "That crybaby has already seen you; he knows Zongzheng Wanyou. I'm sure he had already tattled about us. Now that she knows about us, we can only continue pretending."

Finally, Feng Wushuang's face revealed a trace of displeasure.

'Hmph! Relying on the fact that she is younger than me, she would embarrass me every year when the kings of various countries gathered. Recently, I heard she will become Jiuyuan's idiotic prince's betrothed. So, my sole purpose for coming here today is to annoy her. Hahahahahaha!"

The unhappiness on Feng Wushuang's face disappeared and was replaced with a happy and hearty smile.

"No way? Betrothed to an idiot?" Zhan Tianming was startled.

How could Zongzheng Wanyou's parents betroth their own daughter to a fool?

Were they fools?

Wasn't this too much?

What was happening?

Zhan Tianming suddenly realized and asked Feng Wushuang, "The Zongzheng Wanyou you're talking about, is she the other princess?"

"That's right! Who else could it be if not her?" Feng Wushuang curled her lips and said.

Hearing that, Zhan Tianming's mouth twitched.

'Damn! Is there a mistake?'

'Am I being a white knight? Because I think no fool apart from me deserves her?!'

'This is something intolerable!'

Also...

Zongzheng Wanyou was so beautiful. When compared to Feng Wushuang... Well, there was no comparison.

'Beautiful lady, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?'

'With your face, aren't you miles behind her.'

"Hey, what's with that look?" Seeing Zhan Tianming's strange expression, Feng Wushuang felt uneasy.

She touched her face, puzzled.

"Is there something on my face?"

"Cough, cough..." Zhan Tianming coughed twice, "I say, beautiful lady. Who is the idiotic prince of Jiuyuan County you mentioned just now?"

"Oh, that fool. Well, as should've been apparent, he is the son of Jiuyuan's king. What's wrong?" Feng Wushuang said.

"No, nothing. I was just casually asking." Zhan Tianming laughed dryly.

Feng Wushuang looked to be in disbelief, her eyes staring straight at Zhan Tianming.

"You... You won't try to sabotage their engagement, right?"

Zhan Tianming made an exaggerated expression and said, "That's right. I want to sabotage it and liven up the atmosphere."

"Huh? I dare you to say that again!" Feng Wushuang's face turned solemn; she stared straight at Zhan Tianming.

Being stared at like that made Zhan Tianming a bit uncomfortable.

But, as a man, what was there to be afraid of when you were just repeating yourself? Moreover, Zongzheng Wanyou was a goddess-like beauty... in all places. How could he let her marry an idiot? For a beauty like her, let alone an idiotic prince, even the emperor himself wouldn't be enough. (r/whiteknighting, anyone?)

So, he just reiterated himself.

Zhan Tianming's face darkened, and he said again, "That's right. I want to sabotage it and liven up the atmosphere."

Bang!

Feng Wushuang patted Zhan Tianming's back.

"Haha! That's what I like about you. Good! I've decided that I will support you. "

What?

Zhan Tianming was utterly taken aback.

'Support?'

'Did I hear wrong?'

When he saw Feng Wushuang's solemn face, he thought he would get in trouble.

But in the blink of an eye, Feng Wushuang's expression changed, and she said she wanted to support him.

Before Zhan Tianming could clear up the doubt in his heart, he heard Feng Wushuang say with a light laugh. "As long as it can embarrass Zongzheng Wanyou, no matter what, I will support you unconditionally."

"Ugh... Is that so?" The corner of Zhan Tianming's mouth drew back.

After a long time, Feng Wushuang finally decided on the game plan which she would use to humiliate Zongzheng Wanyou.

'No wonder.'

'These two really are enemies.'

Just as Zhan Tianming was thinking, a servant came to the courtyard.

"Princess Wanyou has arrived..."
