Chapter 6

What? Did Eldest Young Miss just say she was going to annul the engagement with the Crown Prince?!

Did they hear that correctly?!

Even Nalan Yu looked stunned and had difficulty recovering from the shock. In the past, he only had to criticize her a little and she would turn into a weeping mess. Yet now when he told of his intention to break things off with her, not only did she not flare up, but she was saying she wanted to annul the engagement? Was this some ‘playing hard to get’ tactic?

“Sister, y-you… as a woman, what right have you to say something like that to Brother Yu? He’s the current Crown Prince, the future Emperor!” Mu Yurou blurted out angrily.

“Mu Qianyue, do you have any idea what you’ve just said?” Having snapped out of his trance, a dark expression now clouded Nalan Yu’s face.

Mu Hong froze for a moment, then said with a baffled expression in his eyes, “Yue’er, what did you just say? Haven’t you always been very fond of…”

“Grandfather, I was blind and a poor judge of character in the past. Other than holding the position of the Crown Prince, he is utterly worthless. Simply put, he’s a piece of garbage, a piece of garbage that’s faithless in love!” The young lady’s disdainful voice rang out loud and clear, striking everyone like a bolt of lightning and turning them pitch black.

“What are you saying?” The livid-looking Nalan Yu was audibly gnashing his teeth in anger.

Was this woman mad?! How dare she call him a piece of garbage!

Even Mu Hong was dumbstruck. He never expected Yue’er to speak of the Crown Prince like this… Did she suddenly sort out her thinking and give up on liking him?

“Sister, how can you speak of Brother Yu like this?! As the Crown Prince it’s perfectly normal for him to have several wives and concubines. Also, Brother Yu is not a piece of garbage! He’s the greatest genius in the entirety of the Phoenix Shadow Nation! Brother Yu possesses the green soul and was able to condense True Essence Energy at the age of 13 to become a first-stage True Cultivator! Right now at the mere age of 17 Brother Yu is already an eighth-stage True Cultivator. His talent is unparalleled!” Mu Yurou raged.

Upon hearing Mu Yurou’s words, Nalan Yu’s expression eased quite a bit, and his gaze turned gentler as he looked towards Mu Yurou.

In contrast, Mu Qianyue only snickered in disdain. If the Heaven Connecting Tower in her body hadn’t been sealed up all this while, she would have become a True Cultivator at the age of 12, okay?

“If you think he’s that great, you can have him. You two are quite compatible it seems, a white lotus b*tch and a heartless cad. Mm, you’re a match made in heaven!”

Nalan Yu’s face turned green.

Mu Yurou’s countenance was pretty terrible too. Although she had no idea what ‘white lotus b*tch’ meant, from the sounds of it, it couldn’t be anything good.

Mu Hong, however, had his eyes lit up as he gazed at Mu Qianyue. There were even tears glistening in the depths of his eyes due to how worked up he was feeling. His heart was overwhelmed with joy seeing that his precious granddaughter finally had her ideas straightened out! In the past every time he saw Yue’er clinging to the Crown Prince, he felt a mixture of fury and hatred, and even more so, heartache. Yet, there was nothing he could do about it. Now that he finally saw her give Nalan Yu the treatment he deserved, of course he was in a splendid mood.

“Good! Very good! I’ll head to the palace right away and ask Father to issue a decree for me to break off our engagement! Even if you beg me in tears later it will be of no use!” Nalan Yu raged.

“Hold on a minute.” Mu Qianyue curled her lips. With a faint smile on her exquisite, beautiful and petite face, she looked elegant and charming.

Nalan Yu halted in his footsteps, an insufferably arrogant look on his haughty face. Oh, so she knows to beg him now? It’s too late! He would stomp her underneath his feet ferociously and make her feel worse off than dead! He would make her know the price she had to pay for humiliating him!

Yet, the scene he envisioned didn’t happen. Instead, Mu Qianyue’s calm voice was heard next. “Someone, bring over a brush and some ink.”

Shortly after someone brought over the requested brush and ink.

Nalan Yu frowned in doubt. What was she doing? Writing a letter of repentance?

Mu Qianyue was then seen picking up the brush and starting to write. She had a freely-flowing style of writing, and her beautiful handwriting exuded a domineering air. “The Crown Prince Nalan Yu has neither virtues nor talent and is fickle in love. As such, he is not worthy of me, Mu Qianyue. I will annul our marriage arrangement as of today, and from this day onwards we will be strangers completely, unrelated to one other henceforth.”

Those mere few lines of words infuriated Nalan Yu so badly that his entire face turned green, his facial features contorted in fury. Nobody had ever dared to humiliate him in this manner!

“Mu Qianyue, you’re courting death!” Suddenly, his feet shifted, and he pushed out his palms as he charged towards Mu Qianyue.

Mu Qianyue tiptoed a little and speedily retreated to avoid Nalan Yu’s attacks. But still, that fiery wind from his palms brought about a sharp pain to her face.

He was indeed a seventh-stage True Cultivator, much more powerful than a fifth-stage one!

Nalan Yu froze, clearly taken aback that Mu Qianyue could dodge his blow. Having failed in his first attempt, he immediately followed up with the second one!

“Your Highness, what’s the meaning of this?” Mu Hong bellowed. He was about to step out to help his granddaughter when Mu Qianyue’s unflustered voice came ringing over. “Grandfather, this is between the younger generation, so you do not have to interfere. Yue’er is capable of handling this.”

A glint flashed across Mu Hong’s eyes. Seeing how calm and confident his granddaughter looked, he slowly sat back down. This time, somehow he couldn’t help but believe her words.

Next to them, a trace of vicious hatred and smugness flickered across Mu Yurou’s eyes. It would be best if Brother Yu accidentally killed her. That way, it would save her plenty of trouble…

Staring at Nalan Yu who was charging at her once more, this time not only did Mu Qianyue not dodge, she moved forward instead. Just as the wind from Nalan Yu’s palm came within one inch of her face, she narrowly dodged from it in an extremely strange position. At the same time, her fingers deftly tapped upon the vital acupoints on Nalan Yu’s waist in a range of fluid movements.

Nalan Yu first felt a numbing sensation at his waist, and following that, a bone-piercing pain spread throughout his entire body. The pain was so excruciating that he nearly fainted on the spot! “Mu Qianyue, what exactly did you do to me?!”

“Nothing.” Mu Qianyue crossed her arms and cast a contemptuous gaze down at him, her lips curled in a sneer. “The honorable Crown Prince isn’t even able to defeat me, the number one trash in the entire Phoenix Shadow Nation. How can you still deny you’re a piece of garbage? Keep this letter of annulment properly!”

Pah! A piece of white paper with words written in black ink was smacked heavily upon his face.

“You!” Nalan Yu was so furious his face turned pale and his temples were throbbing. He wanted to strike at her, but he felt unbearable pain, as though he was being pricked by thousands of needles throughout his body.

“Brother Yu, are you okay? How are you feeling?” Shock rapidly flashed across the depths of Mu Yurou’s eyes. Brother Yu was a seventh-stage True Cultivator! How could he be defeated by a piece of trash who found out she couldn’t cultivate after hitting the tenth-stage of the Body-Tempering Stage?! Could anyone tell her what was going on here?

Ever since Mu Qianyue returned from Canopy Mountain Range, it was like she had transformed into a different person!

“Sister, what exactly did you do to Brother Yu? You’ll have to face the death penalty for endangering the Crown Prince!” She glared at Mu Qianyue furiously.

“Stop calling me Sister. I don’t have a younger sister like you who specializes in snatching their brother-in-law! My parents are incapable of giving birth to a shameless daughter like you,” Mu Qianyue lashed back mercilessly. Since the other party was even plotting to have her killed, there wasn’t a need for her to put up pretenses in front of Mu Yurou anymore.

“Y-You!” Mu Yurou was so angry that she was trembling all over, flames of fury and jealousy blazing in the depths of her eyes. She was more talented than Mu Qianyue, and her beauty wasn’t inferior at all. Yet it was Mu Qianyue who was adored and cherished by all. Despite being trash, Mu Qianyue was born into wealth and splendor, with more money than she could ever spend in this lifetime!
