Chapter 353: Duel
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Zai did not say anything, but he seemed to be in a good mood. It was clear to everyone that he was interested in the white wolf.
Yu Yunxi’s expression turned cold immediately when she saw those people intended to snatch Sky Saber away from her.
Meanwhile, the ministers began to talk among themselves. It was as though the Snow Wolf King already belonged to the Emperor.
“The Eldest Princess and the King of Youshan are amazing. They actually captured the Snow Wolf King for the Emperor. There’s no doubt that they’re the champion of this year’s autumn hunt!”
“That’s right, that’s right. The Eldest Princess is too humble. She even said that she’s not skilled in martial arts. She captured the Snow Wolf King and even killed the huge snake. Who can compare to her?”
Yu Yunxi’s gaze grew colder and colder.
Although most people would present their prey to the Emperor in order to please the Emperor, it was rare for the Emperor to force his subjects to hand over their prey.
‘Chu Zai is really shameless!’
Just as everyone thought that Yu Yunxi would obediently hand the white wolf to Chu Zai, Yu Yunxi stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, I have an affinity with the white wolf. I’ll definitely raise it well…”
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock as they looked at Yu Yunxi.
‘Is she crazy?
‘Can’t she tell that the Emperor likes the Snow Wolf King a lot?’
‘She’s only the Eldest Princess in name. She should just obediently hand over the Snow Wolf King…
At this moment, an old man with a white beard said in an unfriendly tone, “Eldest Princess, the Snow Wolf King is the king of wolves. Do you have any ulterior motives for raising it?”
Yu Yunxi looked over and recognized the old man immediately.
The old man was none other than the Prime Minister, Zhou Kangsheng.
“Prime Minister, your words are too serious. I just want to raise a wolf. Why do you have to twist the meaning of my words? The King of Youshan and I expended a lot of effort to catch this wolf. Although I respect the Emperor, I
really can’t bear to give up the white wolf.”
The eunuch next to Chu Zai seemed to have caught onto Yu Yunxi’s weakness. He said shrilly, each word condemning Yu Yunxi, “Eldest Princess, do you harbor evil intentions? Xichu and everything in Xichu belong to the Emperor. As such, the Snow Wolf King also belongs to the Emperor. You’re actually unwilling to hand over the Snow Wolf King. Are you trying to rebel?”
‘So the Emperor is going to snatch it by force?’ A hint of ridicule flashed in Yu Yunxi’s eyes.
Feng Yili, who was standing next to Yu Yunxi, wanted to step forward and protect Yu Yunxi, but she gently pulled his sleeve.
Yu Yunxi said in a low and unyielding voice, “I can handle such a small matter.
Don’t worry. Sky Saber is ours. No one can take it away!” Feng Yili’s eyes lit up as the corners of his lips curled up again.
‘She said Sky Saber is… ours…’
Sky Saber saw Feng Yili smiling, and it rolled its eyes.
‘This man is actually so happy to be protected by a woman… Hmph! I look down on him!’
Chu Zai asked icily, “Why, Yunxi? Do you think I’m not worthy of the Snow Wolf King?”
Based on his attitude, it was clear that Chu Zai would punish Yu Yunxi if she did not do as he wished.
At the same time, everyone watched the show excitedly.
‘Does she really think she holds any power just because she has the title of Eldest Princess?’
‘The Emperor Emeritus isn’t here to protect her, but she still dares to go against the Emperor. She must have a death wish.’
Chu Yueqi was initially unhappy that Chu Zai had also taken a liking to the Snow Wolf King. However, seeing that Yu Yunxi was now in a difficult position, his mood improved greatly.
‘I hope she remains stubborn. With that, Imperial Father will be able to deal with her directly…’
Yu Yunxi acted as though she did not see everyone’s gazes on her. She let out a long sigh and said to Chu Zai, “Your Majesty, I’m indeed unwilling to give up the Snow Wolf King. However, there’s a reason for that.”
“What’s the reason?” Chu Zai asked coldly. He wanted to see what else Yu Yunxi would do.
“Since the Snow Wolf King is the king of all wolves, it’s naturally ferocious. The King of Youshan and I expended a lot of effort to tame it. If anyone else approaches it, I’m afraid it’ll hurt them,” Yu Yunxi replied, looking troubled.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kangsheng said with a sneer, “Eldest Princess, the least you can do is come up with a better excuse. Although the Snow Wolf King is ferocious, everyone can see that it’s weak now. Moreover, the Emperor is the son of heaven. How can he not be able to tame the Snow Wolf King?”
Everyone turned to look at the white wolf whose head was lowered at this moment. All of them scoffed inwardly.
‘No wonder the Eldest Princess and the King of Youshan managed to capture it!
It seems to be in a weakened state.’
‘I could’ve tamed it as well if I ran into it earlier!’
‘It’s a pity I wasn’t lucky enough to run into the Snow Wolf King!’
The eunuch lowered his voice and said to Chu Zai, “Your Majesty, the fur of this
Snow Wolf King is precious and excellent.”
These words seemed to stoke the flames of fury in Chu Zai’s heart.
‘This Yu Yunxi really doesn’t know what’s good for her! If I want the Snow Wolf King, what right does she have not to give it to me?’
Chu Zai said darkly, “Although it’s the Snow Wolf King, it’s not difficult to tame it. Yu Yunxi, why aren’t you bringing it to me?”
Chu Zai no longer bothered to pretend and openly snatched the white wolf from Yu Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi raised her head and said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, “Your Majesty, if anyone can tame the Snow Wolf King, I’ll naturally hand it over to you. If no one can tame it, then I can only continue to raise it and prevent it from hurting others.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuemu disregarded his injuries and quickly stepped forward to say, “Imperial Father, I’ll get the wolf for you!”
‘Yu Yunxi is an idiot! I’m going to subdue the Snow Wolf King and humiliate her!’
Yu Yunxi looked at the confident expression on Chu Yuemu’s face and almost laughed out loud.
‘It seems that the amnesiac drug really worked… He’s forgotten how badly he was tortured by Sky Saber earlier…’
Chu Zai also did not think much of the white wolf so he nodded and said, “Alright, go ahead.”
Chu Zhihe said derisively, “Seventh Imperial Brother, you have to use one strike to subdue the Snow Wolf King so that the Eldest Princess can see that she only manages to capture it because it’s in a weakened state, not because she’s powerful.”
Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi patted the Snow Wolf King’s head and said with a smile, “Good boy, go ahead.”
Then, in a voice that nobody else could hear, Feng Yili said coldly, “If you can’t defeat Chu Yuemu, there’s no need for you to stay by our side.” (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com
Sky Saber:
It felt a little regretful now. It seemed like the two new masters it found were rather ruthless. Then, it howled before it bared its fangs and brandished its claws, pouncing toward Chu Yuemu..
