Chapter 120

Chapter 120:

An unnoticeable trace of rage flashed through Hua Xiuning's eyes. She also turned to look towards the entrance, her heart full of disdain. Internally, she laughed. The Li clan actually dared to show their face here?!

An incomparably luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance. The first to come out of the carriage and jumping off as she did was the well known Li Yuewen, a rose with thorns. Who knew how many people had tried to pluck this flower but were pricked miserably. Today, Li Yuewen donned extravagant clothes, dazzling and brilliant, making quite a few people gasp, deserving of being called one of the three great beauties.

Li Yuewen? Humph! A profound and vicious look flashed through Hua Xiuning's eyes. Li Yuewen, was yesterday's humiliation not enough? Are you trying to destroy yourself?

But Li Yuewen did not then go to walk up the red carpet. Instead, she extended her hand to someone in the carriage. Everybody was puzzled at Li Yuewen's action. Who was worthy of Li Yuewen supporting off the carriage?

A slender, jade white hand slowly reached out the carriage. In a split second, everybody's gaze was sucked over. Just her fair-skinned, beautiful arm already made them unable to shift their gazes away. Who was she?

Gradually, slowly, the person Li Yuewen was supporting stepped out of the carriage gracefully.

Under the sunlight, in an instant, every single person in the square froze. During this moment, their breath was stolen away, minds blanking out, completely losing their capability to think.

She was a completely magnificent, stunning beauty!

Her silky long golden hair was like sunlight, with gentle folds. A lock of hair hung down over each of her smooth cheeks. Her fair, thin neck aroused them like no other. The pure white flowers above her ears enhanced her stunning and unique appearance. Her emerald green eyes were like whirlpools, sucking one in so deeply they wouldn't be able to break free. With her jade like features, her smile was so dazzling, blinding even. It was so brilliant, their hearts were stolen away. Raising her head slightly, the stunningly beautiful woman looked ahead, standing silently. She wore a pale lavender dress, suiting her figure perfectly. Her mysterious charm sent off ripples. No one had ever seen such a dress before. Without any jewelry or makeup, she was like a pure white, holy lotus flower, or a delicate and refined peony. At that instant, everybody was a loss for words.

The crown prince stared fixedly at the woman who had suddenly appeared. He just stared, unable to say a single word, unable to think.

When she smiled brightly, it was as if the sun itself was shining. When she stood tranquilly, it was as if the pure, full moon had risen.

She was a goddess with moonlight as her guide descending onto the mortal world, making them lose their sense of selves.

Li Yuewen helped the stunning beauty down. They walked slowly down the red carpet, step by step.

Something most shocking then happened.

Wherever the stunning woman stepped, a small, golden lotus appeared underfoot!

Lotuses appearing with every step!

The entire square fell into pandemonium!

"Not only is your highness caring, you are also humble." Claire smiled gently and continued, "Today, the crown prince is working for the benefit of the people. Our Li clan will also naturally follow suit. Your highness, please accept our gifts."

Claire motioned toward Camille to bring the boxes up stage.

Before the crown prince could ask, Claire had already reached out her jade white hand and opened a box. When the box was opened, Hua Xiuning revealed a look of disdain, quietly muttering, "What is that? Just a stupid.. an ordinary sword." Hua Xiuning finally had finally learned her lesson, switching from "stupid" to "ordinary".

Li Yuewen smiled at the crown prince. "Your highness, may I borrow your sword for a moment?"

Without any hesitation, the crown prince handed over the sword from his waist. Holding the prince's sword in one hand and the ordinary looking sword in the other, Li Yuewen gently crossed the swords in mid air. With a clang, the crown prince's sword had instantly shattered, but the ordinary sword was left perfectly intact.

The crown prince's expression shifted. His sword was specially designed, forged by the country's best craftsman, but today, with just a slight touch, it shattered!

Hua Xiuning was dumbstruck. The nearby noblemen were also frozen.

What kind of valuable sword was the unremarkable looking sword in Li Yuewen's hand?

"Your highness, I'm so sorry, your sword was actually destroyed by my cousin. I hope that your highness will visit our Li clan so we can replace it with a better one," Claire said a little bashfully. Her soft voice made every man present take pity on her. Nobody had the heart to reproach her. Currently, all the men present wished they could say 'it's nothing' in place of the prince.

Hua Xiuning's face was ashen. This foreign woman actually dared to take the initiative to invite the prince to her house! How brazen!

The prince seemed to be a bit at a loss, still staring at the sword in Li Yuewen's hand.

What? Replace it with a better one?

This sword they were donating wasn't their best one?

"Your highness, I hope you won't condemn me," Li Yuewen said, also a bit embarrassedly.

"No, it is a truly good sword." The crown prince came back to his senses and smiled warmly, an undetectable glimmer in his eyes. A good sword, a truly good sword indeed. If the royal army was all equipped with such swords, then....

"We have another item to donate." Li Yuewen walked up and opened the other box.

It opened gradually. When the box was open just a crack, countless rays of golden light shot out.

What was it? Everybody craned their necks to look.

The box finally opened completely.

"The Andleen Crown!" the crown prince exclaimed in a low voice.
