240: Chapter 240 The Spoiled Princess: I've got my eye on that handsome guy!

On the Imperial Capital's main street, the bustling crowd now retreated frantically to both sides of the road, like a startled herd of beasts.

Amidst the flying dust, an extremely luxurious carriage procession careened through the center of the avenue.

Leading the way were not ordinary horses, but four Dragon Scale Beasts, clad in golden armor, with single horns like jade.

These Yao Beasts possess a trace of the Dragon Clan Bloodline and are extremely precious in the Great Xia Dynasty; usually, only core members of the Imperial Family are qualified to ride them.

Yet, at this moment, they were being used to drive away the common people on the street, and those who failed to get out of the way in time were met with a whip, screams rising one after another.

"Are you all blind? Princess Weiyang is here, why aren't you kneeling!"

The Golden-Armored Guards driving the carriage looked arrogant, their spirit whips cracking loudly, as if in their eyes, these common people were nothing more than weeds by the roadside.

Wu Mingkong stood at the back of the crowd, watching this scene, her already gloomy expression now so dark it looked like water could drip from it.

Once upon a time, she had established an ancestral decree: the Great Xia Imperial Family shall guard the nation and protect its people. Anyone who oppresses the good or exploits the common folk shall have their status revoked and their body crippled.

But now, in broad daylight, an Imperial Princess was leading the charge in violent acts?

"Good, truly good."

Wu Mingkong was so enraged she laughed, a smile so cold it chilled one to the bone, "This is Our... this is the current Imperial demeanor of Great Xia."

Xu Chen gently squeezed her palm, signaling her to calm down. He looked with interest at the large Phoenix Carriage, which was being protected in the middle as if it were the moon among stars.

The Phoenix Carriage was enormous, with gauze curtains made of Jiao silk hanging all around, faintly revealing a graceful figure seated within.

As the wind picked up, the gauze curtains fluttered slightly.

A face of exquisite beauty, yet with a hint of willfulness, was revealed.

The young girl was about sixteen years old, with skin like snow and eyes as picturesque as a painting.

She wore a pink palace dress, adorned with pearls and jade in her hair, and held a string of crystal-clear purple jade grapes, which she was idly popping into her mouth.

It must be said, her appearance indeed carried the nobility of an Imperial Princess.

Looking at the System's evaluation, Xu Chen almost burst out laughing.

Late-Stage Looks-Obsessed?

This also counts as a Physique?

Just as Xu Chen was sizing up Princess Wu Weiyang, the young girl in the Phoenix Carriage seemed to sense something too.

She had originally been impatient, finding this imperial tour utterly boring. The streets were full of ugly people, not even a single man pleasing to her eye, which was simply an insult to this Princess's vision.

Until—

Her gaze carelessly swept over the crowd and suddenly fixed on Xu Chen.

At that instant, Wu Weiyang's action of peeling a grape froze.

Purple grape juice dripped down her fingertips, staining her expensive silk skirt, but she was completely oblivious.

Her pupils suddenly dilated, and her eyes instantly erupted with a brilliant light comparable to a two-thousand-watt light bulb.

Handsome!

Too handsome!

What kind of beauty was that?

White robes like snow, standing tall and elegant like jade.

His features were like an artwork meticulously carved by the heavens, possessing both the clear handsomeness of a youth and the nobility of a high-ranking individual.

Especially those eyes, as if containing a sea of stars, just one glance was enough to make one fall captive.

Even those so-called Saints and Divine Scions of the Immortal Realm became mere mud in the ground before this man!

"Gulp."

Wu Weiyang clearly heard herself swallow.

Is this what it feels like to fall in love?

Is this a gift from the heavens to this Princess?

"Stop!!!"

A sharp, delicate shout suddenly rang out, startling the pulling Dragon Scale Beasts so much that their front hooves almost buckled.

The carriage procession, which had been moving at high speed, came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the street.

"Princess? What's wrong? Is there an assassin?"

The Imperial Guard Captain was startled, quickly drawing his sword and rushing to the Phoenix Carriage, vigilantly looking around.

"Assassin, what assassin! You blind fool, get lost!"

Wu Weiyang dramatically pulled open the gauze curtain, not even bothering to put on her shoes properly, and with bare, snow-white feet, she leaped directly from the Phoenix Carriage.

She lifted her skirt, ignoring the kneeling common folk around her and the dumbfounded guards, and charged directly towards Xu Chen.

She abruptly stopped three zhang away from Xu Chen.

Closer.

Even more handsome!

This close-range beauty attack made Wu Weiyang feel like her heart was about to burst. She took a deep breath, trying to assume what she believed to be her most charming and noble posture.

However, her vision was soon disturbed by the three women beside Xu Chen.

One was as cold as ice, one as seductive as a demoness, and another...

Ji Weiyang's gaze fell on Wu Mingkong, and her brows instantly furrowed.

This woman... such a powerful Aura. And what is she wearing? A nine-clawed golden dragon robe?

Although she felt this outfit was very incongruous, even rebellious, Wu Weiyang, whose mind was currently clouded by beauty, had no time to ponder these details.

In the world of a looks-obsessed person, beauty is justice, and everything else is fleeting.

She directly ignored the three women, Wu Mingkong among them, and extended a slender, jade-like finger, pointing straight at Xu Chen, her tone like someone selecting a satisfactory product:

"Hey! You in the white clothes!"

Wu Weiyang lifted her chin, revealing her snow-white swan neck, and proudly announced:

"This Princess has taken a liking to you!"

"From now on, you are this Princess's man. Come back to the manor with this Princess, and we'll get married tonight!"

The already quiet street became so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the current Princess in disbelief. Although everyone knew Princess Weiyang acted absurdly and favored handsome men, but... this was too direct, wasn't it?

Snatching someone in the street? And forcing a marriage?

Mo Han's hand was already on her dagger, a trace of killing intent flashing in her eyes. To her, disrespecting the Young Lord was a death sentence.

Hua Jieyu, on the other hand, covered her mouth and chuckled, enjoying the drama. This Princess truly had good taste, immediately setting her sights on the Young Lord. What a pity, this wasn't snatching a groom; this was clearly jumping into a pit of fire.

As for Xu Chen, the person in question, he raised an eyebrow, looking at the reckless young girl before him with a half-smile.

"Oh? Taken a liking to me?"

He pointed to himself, his tone playful, "And want to get married tonight?"

"That's right!"

Wu Weiyang was even more excited to see him respond, waving her hand, "As long as you follow this Princess, you'll enjoy endless glory and wealth! This Great Xia Dynasty, this Princess will cover you. If anyone dares to bully you, this Princess will wipe out their entire family!"

"Wipe out their entire family?"

Xu Chen's smile deepened. He turned to look at Wu Mingkong, who was on the verge of exploding beside him, and said faintly, "Wife, she says she'll cover me, and even wipe out people's entire families."

"Wife?"

Only then did Wu Weiyang look directly at Wu Mingkong, a flicker of hostility and disdain in her eyes. "You're married? It doesn't matter, this Princess doesn't mind. Divorce her, or let her be a concubine, this Princess is very magnanimous."

Boom!

This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Wu Mingkong's rationality completely snapped.

Snatch her man?

And make her a concubine?

"Good... very good!"

Wu Mingkong laughed in extreme anger, her laughter carrying a chilling pressure.

She released Xu Chen's hand and took a step forward.

The originally clear sky suddenly changed color. A terrifyingly powerful Imperial Dragon Qi, centered on her, instantly swept across the entire street.

"How could the Wu family give birth to such a scoundrel like you!"

Wu Mingkong's Phoenix eyes were filled with murderous intent as she stared at Wu Weiyang, every word squeezed out through gritted teeth.

"You even dare to snatch your ancestor's man?"

"You... what do you want to do?"

Wu Weiyang was startled by the sudden Aura and instinctively took a step back. Although she was willful, she wasn't a fool; this woman in the dragon robe, how could she seem a hundred times more terrifying than her Imperial Father?

"What do I want to do?"

Wu Mingkong smiled coldly and raised her palm.

"Naturally, to clean house for the Wu family's ancestors!"

"Someone! Seize this madwoman for this Princess!"

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Wu Weiyang immediately shrieked, "How dare you be disrespectful to this Princess! You've rebelled!"

At her command, the golden-armored Imperial Guards who had long been poised to strike instantly moved. Dozens of powerful Auras soared into the sky, sword glints and blade shadows interwoven into a net, enveloping Wu Mingkong.

"Seeking death."

Wu Mingkong stood still, not even raising an eyelid.

Three thousand years ago, facing such a provocation, these people would have long turned to dust.

But now, she was here to set rules, not to kill.

"Kneel!"

She parted her red lips slightly and uttered two words.

Words become law!
