Jiang Hetian finally couldn’t hold it back as he rushed to Jiang Zhiyuan and brought her down. “Zhiyuan, are you okay?”

Jiang Zhiyuan wiped away the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth. Of course, I’m not! Two stages of the princess consort contest have gone by, and Dugu Yue got first place for both! Even if Dugu Yue can’t be the princess consort with such results, she can definitely stay in the Sky-Cloud Empire!

Thinking that she might have to meet that face every day in the future, Jiang Zhiyuan felt very uncomfortable. If one said that she just didn’t really like this Dugu Yue in the beginning, now she only had overwhelming hatred for the latter.

Jiang Hetian hurriedly commanded the heavenly doctors that came with them to take Jiang Zhiyuan’s pulse.

Seeing Elder Su’s tightly knitted brows, Jiang Hetian asked uneasily, “Elder Su, how is Zhiyuan?”

Elder Su sighed. “Big Missy is fine, but she has some internal injuries. I’m afraid she can only recover in half a month.”

“How did that happen?” Jiang Hetian was taken aback. “Just now, Zhiyuan clearly set up the God Realm and had the wind-stopping shawI to shield her. Though that legendary three-eyed eagle was amazing, logically speaking, it shouldn’t have caused such a serious injury!”

“This…” Elder Su glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan. “Big Missy should know it more clearly…”

“That legendary three-eyed eagle is amazing.” Jiang Zhiyuan closed her eyes, retracted her hands, and tried her best to make her voice sound calm. Although she was enraged and indignant, she didn’t forget that this was Tongshen Palace.

Countless people were looking over from all directions.

“It’s even stronger compared to that red-tailed phoenix.”

‘When she recalled what happened earlier, her heart still trembled. The moment the legendary three-eyed eagle attacked, she really felt a deathly threat!

“It shouldn’t be!” Jiang Hetian increasingly felt confused. “Though the legendary three-eyed eagle is also a legendary fiend, logically speaking, it shouldn’t be stronger than the red-tailed phoenix…”

But he also knew that it was impossible for Jiang Zhiyuan to lie about this matter.

Elder Su kept quiet for a moment before lowering his voice. “Master, one cultivator can only have one legendary fiend. That Dugu Yue is clearly problematic. Perhaps that legendary three-eyed eagle… has something amiss!”

Jiang Hetian knitted his brows and shook his head. “Forget it. I’ll treat Zhiyuan first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.”

“Yes.”

Chu Liuyue cupped her fists toward Fairy Water Mound, smiled, and said, “Big Missy Jiang, good fight.”

Jiang Zhiyuan clenched her teeth, but she still didn’t rage. IU let her be happy first!

‘Then, Chu Liuyue surveyed her surroundings, raised her brows, and smiled slightly. “May I know if there’s anyone who can’t accept the current results? You can just come up and battle with me. I’ll be more than willing!”

Dead silence.

What a joke! Even Jiang Zhiyuan was beaten into this state—who would be stupid enough to rush up? Won’t that be causing trouble for ourselves? Two legendary fiends… How can an average person endure it?!

“It seems like nobody has any objections,” Rong Xiu said from above in a relaxed and composed manner. “This second stage’s first place is Ms. Dugu.”

‘The crowd had varied expressions, but they didn’t say anything further.

At this point, Rong Xiu suddenly stood up.

Everyone looked over curiously. Then, they saw that the man dressed in a black robe looked cool and lavish in a demonic yet god-like manner.

He stood with one hand behind his back, and his thin lips curled up slightly. “I’ve only prepared three challenges for this contest. Since Ms. Dugu has already won two of the stages, there’s no need to proceed with the last stage now.”

He raised his hand and pointed to the woman in red standing upright far away. “She definitely has to be the princess consort!”

Once he said that, the crowd was stunned! His Grace actually chose his Princess Consort directly in this manner?! There was no third challenge and no forewarning—nothing at all! It’s set just like that?!

He directly killed everyone and caught them off-guard!

“Your Highness, you can’t!” Jiang Hetian instinctively stood up and directly hollered. “The position of princess consort is extremely distinguished, and it concerns the Sky-Cloud Empire and all the divisions’ honor and glory. How can you decide so rashly?!”

Rong Xiu’s lips curled up into an extremely faint smile, but there was no smiling intent in his eyes. “All the divisions and the crowd in the Sky-Cloud Empire were invited to compete in this contest, and nobody was unjustly treated. The competition proceeded fairly, and everyone saw it clearly—all of them

can be witnesses! Now that the results are out, it’s logical to choose her as the princess consort since she obtained first place in both challenges. Why did it suddenly become a rash action to the Jiang family?”

Jiang Hetian was stumped, and his heart was on fire. If he chooses Dugu Yue, what about Zhiyuan?!

He took a deep breath in, and his face was dark.

“Did Your Highness already choose Dugu Yue to be your princess consort from the start?! Then, what’s the point of these challenges?!”

Dead silence.

Only Fairy Water Mound’s Jiang family would dare to question Rong Xiu to his face.

The smile on Rong Xiu’s face faded, and he knitted his brows slightly. “I’ve never intervened in the contest from start to end. Did I help her earn her first place?”

Jiang Hetian was speechless!

Yes, everyone present had personally seen how Dugu Yue had won these two matches! He couldn’t even be indignant!

Jiang Hetian clenched his fists tightly. I can tell that Rong Xiu is interested in Dugu Yue. If not, he wouldn’t have insisted on her joining the contest. However, I always felt that Rong Xiu would only let Dugu Yue be a mistress even if she performed well. She doesn’t even have the right to be second consort,

so I never cared about Dugu Yue.

However, nobody would’ve expected that not only did Rong Xiu choose her, but he even planned to make her the princess consort! Where does this place Fairy Water Mound’s face?!

Seeing that he couldn’t use this reason, Jiang Hetian changed his wording. “Your Highness, this woman has an unknown background. Even if you really want to make her your princess consort, you should ask her to show her identity and convince the rest, right?!”

Then, he looked at Lin Tianfeng, “If I don’t recall wrongly, Dugu Yue… followed Grotto-Heaven Cliff’s Master Lin and the rest. However, she doesn’t seem to be part of Grotto-Heaven Cliff, right?”

While Lin Tianfeng was still immersed in the shock of Rong Xiu directly choosing Chu Liuyue as his princess consort, he didn’t react in time when he heard this.

Lin Zhifei’s lips moved slightly, and he was about to speak when he suddenly heard a voice from behind.

“She’s really not from Grotto-Heaven Cliff. She came from outside the God Residence Realm!”

Lin Zhifei’s heart skipped a beat, and he turned back.

The person talking was Lou Ruhai!

At this point, Lou Ruhai didn’t seem to notice Lin Zhife’’s look of warning as he abruptly stood up, pointed at Chu Liuyue in the hall, and loudly said, “She’s just an ordinary woman who came from outside the God Residence Realm a few days ago!”

Chu Liuyue looked at Lou Ruhai, squinted her eyes, and sneered in her heart. I knew he wouldn’t let go so easily… So he was waiting for this!

Once he said ‘outside the God Residence Realm,’ an uproar instantly broke out in the palace!

However, Lou Ruhai seemed to be unsatisfied. Noticing Chu Liuyue’s gaze, he met it, and coldness flashed across his eyes.

Then, he raised his hand and pointed at Dugu Mobao at the side.. “Besides, she doesn’t even have a fiancé! She has long gotten married, and she even has a child!”
