Chapter 36: So Valiant, So Charming

As Claire stepped off the platform, Princess Maurice was already facing her on the platform, and behind her was a group of nobles immediately surrounding Claire. Their excitement was buzzing. The Sunrise Institute students didn't surround Claire; they just watched her from afar, feeling conflicted.

"Claire, you're amazing! When did you learn Dou Qi?!"

"Claire, you were excellent today!"

"Claire, you......"

While drowning in praises, Claire only smiled mildly, not saying a word.

Becoming famous in one fight.

As Claire left, Yixuan Feng still laid there, not moving. Wenmo Shui gulped, and then carefully walked forward.

"Yixuan?" Wenmo Shui inquired.

He was responded to with silence.

" Yixuan, are you okay? Don't scare me, if you die, then your T-rex Ma won't forgive me. She will literally peel a layer off my skin before burying me with you! Even if you want to die, you have to wait for your mom to come here, then die!" Wenmo Shui was tearing up, howling with grief.

As before, Yixuan Feng didn't say a word, silently laying there with an unclear expression.

"Yixuan, you can't die. Save your breath, I'll carry you back. Wait until we arrive home and then you can die." Wenmo Shui said as he scooped up the unmoving Yixuan Feng, carrying him on his shoulder, shuffling down the platform.

"I want to vomit... " Yixuan Feng finally choked out these few words, groaning as quietly as a mosquito. Really, he was shaken so much he was about to vomit.

"Ah! Yixuan, you're alright, very good, as long as you're alright it's okay." Wenmo Shui happily set Yixuan Feng down and Yixuan Feng wobbled down. Wenmo Shui immediately supported him and was truly happy. Good, Yixuan Feng, that little rascal, could speak. This meant that he could bear that inhumane person's humiliation. Good, good, this rascal didn't completely collapse. Wenmo Shui supported the weak and dizzy Yixuan Feng on his shoulder as they left.

The Grand Exchange ended like that. A shocking beginning and a shocking ending. The ambassador's expression became extremely ugly. Naturally the emperor had to say some good words. From the ambassador's point of view, the ending award ceremony was very simple.

Jean saw Claire pinch the Spiritual stone then casually put the stone back, her expression was the same as before. Not knowing why, he felt cold. Suddenly he pitied Walter, and somewhat understood why Walter always called Claire a little demon.

The dinner party was held as usual and Claire appeared in a black formal dress and looked brilliant. At this night's party, she became the main character and naturally, Lashia was not present. The emperor went through the formal speech, and then the party began. Nobles surrounded Claire, and their talking made Claire's head ache. Many were those who Duke Gordan told her to befriend. But there were also some nobles that stood at a distance, and they all gazed in confusion at her side.

"Okay, everyone, Claire and I have appointment. If you do not mind, I have to borrow Claire for a moment." Princess Maurice appeared and smiled, keeping "harassments" away from Claire.

Claire's eyes flashed with gratitude. Princess Maurice and Claire withdrew to the balcony and then Claire let out a light sigh. If it wasn't for Duke Gordan waving her over, she would have definitely not paid attention to those boring aristocrats.

"Claire, you were really great today." Princess Maurice's eyes flashed with light, admiring Claire sincerely.

Claire bitterly laughed and shook her head. Really, in terms of brute force, she was far from being Yixuan Feng's match. It was just that she won this time using a hidden card. If Yixuan Feng knew she could use Dou Qi, he wouldn't have so brashly challenged her. But this night, she didn't seem to have seen that guy's presence.

"It's been said that Yixuan Feng has been muddleheaded this whole time, not sober. It's probably because he was shocked." Princess Maurice said with a proud smile. In her eyes, Claire was the hero that had completely defeated that guy!

Muddleheaded this whole time? Claire was a bit surprised. What was going on?

Yixuan Feng and Wenmo Shui both didn't attend the banquet. Yixuan Feng lay on the courier hostel's bed, not moving at all. Wenmo Shui was aside, guarding him while chewing chicken.

The ambassador was extremely worried about Yixuan Feng's situation, so he didn't force them to attend this humiliating sending-off banquet. Yixuan Feng's background wasn't something the ambassador could afford to offend.

"Humph! Do you want to die or are you already dead?" Wenmo Shui asked, his words blurry. After Wenmo Shui knew that Yixuan Feng could bear that strike, he wasn't polite anymore. He sat on a chair nearby with his foot stepping on Yixuan Feng's butt while chewing roasted chicken.

Yixuan Feng was silent, lying on there, still daydreaming.

"If you didn't die, then eat something. Wait until the banquet ends and we'll leave this night. I don't want to stay at this damned place at all." Wenmo Shui grumbled while chewing a roasted chicken wing.

"How beautiful, how valiant... " Yixuan Feng's tiny voice quietly sounded, seeming like he ignored the Wenmo Shui's stinky pig foot on his butt.

"What?" Wenmo Shui asked, confused, spitting out the bones in his mouth.

"How valiant, how enchanting she is... " This time Wenmo Shui heard Yixuan Feng clearly.

What?!!

Wenmo Shui instantly had an ominous premonition.
