69: Section 69

Yu Yan pretended as if nothing had happened and gave an awkward smile: "I wanted to come over and play with First Sister, but since Brother-in-law is back, I don't want to disturb you."

"Third Princess, please leave this Little White Snake. He just bit me."

"Why should I? The Little White Snake is mine; you can't hurt him." Yu Yan's attitude was very firm.

"Third Princess, I am still your Royal Consort, the First Royal Consort of Yu Country. The Little White Snake you raised bit me, and not only is there no apology, but you are also so unruly."

Previously, Mo Ze would never have dared to speak to Yu Yan like this; he had always been bowing and scraping.

As Yu Emperor gradually valued him more, coupled with his own sinister and ruthless nature, he had been enduring and secretly developing his influence all these years.

Now, his tone of voice was significantly more domineering than before, all stemming from the improvement of his own Cultivation.

Yu Yan rolled her eyes: "Hmph, you're just a live-in son-in-law. Don't flatter yourself."

Mo Ze clenched his fists, his eyes glowing crimson, almost wanting to strike, but in the end, reason triumphed over impulse.

He forced a smile onto his face: "Third Princess's lesson is well-taken."

"Hmph, good that you know! Understand your place. My sister might be afraid of you, but that doesn't mean I'll indulge you."

Yu Yan soared into the air and flew away with the Little White Snake.

This privilege of being able to fly freely in Misty Cloud City was something Mo Ze would forever envy. To let the Mo Peng lineage control Yu Country, he willingly served as Yu Emperor's son-in-law.

For the past three years, he had been working like an ox and a horse, enduring constant disdain. He watched Yu Yan's receding figure, the killing intent in his eyes continuously surging.

"You little slut, you just wait. You'll get what's coming to you."

A true man knows when to bend and when to extend. Mo Ze felt it wasn't time yet and once again pushed his endurance to the extreme.

He quickly returned to Yu Wei's room, slowly kneeling his way in from outside the door, while also forcefully slapping himself.

"This humble subject deserves death, First Princess, please forgive me."

"This humble subject deserves death, First Princess, please forgive me."

Yu Wei was also completely bewildered. Mo Ze, who had just been so firm, had actually reverted to his former servile appearance.

The slaps echoed loudly. Mo Ze was indeed a ruthless bird, showing no mercy to himself.

Although Yu Wei had been very angry just now, she was soft-hearted and felt that what she had done earlier was a bit excessive.

She and her sister were playing in the water, and they indeed got a bit carried away.

It just so happened that Mo Ze stumbled upon them, and they even let the snake bite him, so she inevitably felt guilty.

"Mo Ze, are you alright? The Little White Snake isn't poisonous, don't worry."

"Thank you for your concern, First Princess." Mo Ze bowed obsequiously.

He thought to himself, 'This is called not poisonous? With the strength of a Level 7 Demon King, I would have needed an amputation a little later.'

Yu Wei thought that the black blood flowing from Mo Ze's bite was his own original blood and had little to do with the Little White Snake.

Mo Ze maintained a safe distance of over five meters from Yu Wei, which in turn made Yu Wei feel embarrassed.

"Mo Ze, you don't need to be so polite. Although we haven't consummated our marriage, we have the name of husband and wife. I just wasn't ready yet."

"In the future, I will eventually be yours. Let's pretend that what happened tonight didn't happen and not let it reach Father Emperor's ears."

"Thank you for your forgiveness, First Princess. This humble subject dares not harbor any improper thoughts."

Yu Wei then closed the door, afraid that the guards outside would see. After all, Mo Ze was the Royal Consort, and keeping him kneeling all the time wasn't very appropriate.

She stepped forward and helped Mo Ze up: "Get up."

"Thank you, First Princess."

With this back and forth, the atmosphere became much more harmonious than before.

Mo Ze saw that the timing was good and pretended to care about his sister-in-law's lifelong happiness.

"Just now, I saw Third Princess in a hurry in the garden. She stayed for a short while and then left."

"She's not young anymore. Last time, Father Emperor seemed to say he wanted to find a Royal Consort for her, but then he never brought it up again."

Yu Wei's expression was unnatural; she could only feign ignorance.

"Is that so? That brat didn't even greet me when she came. She has no manners at all. It's time for Father Emperor to help her find a Royal Consort. She should settle down after marriage."

Mo Ze gradually set a trap for Yu Wei, and eventually, the couple decided to go and discuss the matter with Yu Emperor.

Even though Yu Wei was the eldest sister, she was very naive and not scheming. She usually took good care of her younger siblings, so if she brought up the matter, Yu Emperor wouldn't have any objections.

Red notices for finding a Royal Consort for the Third Princess were posted all over Misty Cloud City. It would be held in the form of a Tournament ( Tournament), and anyone interested could participate.

This time, there were no restrictions; not only could Yu Country's elites participate, but strong individuals from other regions were also qualified to join.

Yu Country's teleportation array was exposed on the northwestern frontier of Xuan Tian Continent, allowing strong individuals with ability to come and compete for the Royal Consort position.

"Princess, something's wrong!"

The maid ran frantically towards Yu Yan's room.

Yu Yan was talking to the Little White Snake: "Xiao Bai, you understand me, right? That brother-in-law of mine is a bad guy. Just seeing his servile face makes me want to vomit."

Kiss kiss kiss!

Yu Yan kissed the Little White Snake's mouth several times in a row, liking it more and more the more she looked at it.

The two kun kun reacted again; Xiao Bai was already trying hard to restrain himself.

"Don't always do that. If I really can't hold back and revert to my original form, I'll choke you to death."

"Xiao Ying, what is it?"

The urgent knocking on the door interrupted Yu Yan's kissing of the Little White Snake.

"Third Princess, His Majesty Yu Emperor has issued an announcement to proclaim to the world that he is seeking a Royal Consort for you."

"The Royal Consort will be chosen through a martial arts competition, and Yu Emperor is willing to offer a demon emperor fragment as the Princess's dowry."

Xiao Bai, hearing this bombshell news, had already quietly slipped out the window.

Yu Yan was furious: "Damn it, Father Emperor is selling me off! I don't want to just sit here and wait; I need to escape quickly."

"Xiao Bai, let's go."

When she turned around, the Little White Snake had already vanished.

Yu Yan searched the entire room but still couldn't find her beloved Little White Snake.

"What the heck, when you're unlucky, even drinking cold water chokes you. He was just here."

"Never mind him, I need to get out of here quickly."

When she walked out the door, Mo Ze was already waiting there.

"Third Princess, where are you going?"

"You slave, don't meddle in my affairs. You must be secretly behind this."

Mo Ze spread his hands and gave a bitter smile: "Third Princess truly wrongs this humble subject. It was First Princess who suggested it to His Majesty Yu Emperor."

"Grandma here isn't playing along. Goodbye."

Yu Yan kicked off the ground with force, flying into mid-air, but Mo Ze directly pulled her down.

"Excuse me, Third Princess. Yu Emperor has commanded that you are not to go anywhere until the Royal Consort has been chosen."

To suppress Yu Yan, Mo Ze even pulled out the golden token bestowed by Yu Emperor. With the suppression of his own Cultivation, she had no choice but to be confined to the West Palace and unable to go anywhere... An extra chapter has been added, caught typos by fellow snake-lovers. (? o_o)?

Chapter 93: Marriage Competition

After leaving the West Palace, Xiao Bai returned to his bird-man form and strolled through the streets.

Red notices were posted everywhere, attracting many members of the Feather Race to gather and discuss. This was a major event for Misty Cloud City and even the entire Yu Country.

It was the first time a Royal Consort was publicly sought for a princess. Previously, the selection of the First Princess's Royal Consort was secretly conducted by Yu Emperor, and the wedding was also simple, without much fanfare.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai saw a very familiar back in the crowd of birds. A tuft of blue feathers on its head was extremely conspicuous, giving it a sense of standing out from the crowd.

Slap!

Being inexplicably flicked on the head infuriated Mo Peng.

"Bastard, who ambushed me?"

Xiao Bai grabbed his tuft of blue hair and immediately started ranting: "Aha, so the disloyal dog was hiding here after all."

"Big Brother, you're finally out! I've been looking for you so hard these past few days. I only regret my lack of strength, unable to rescue Big Brother."

Mo Peng's tearful performance was truly Oscar-worthy. This guy must have been greatly influenced by Tu Shan You You, completely baffling Xiao Bai.

"Alright, stop dawdling! Take down this red notice, shall we compete for this Royal Consort together?"

Mo Peng's mouth twitched: "Big Brother, let's just forget it! Not only will there be powerhouses from Yu Country, but strong individuals from other regions will also pour in."

"The competition is so fierce, it's a bit difficult with our current Cultivation. We don't have much chance of winning."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Your Cultivation is even one level higher than mine. Why are you chickening out?"

"If you fight for it, if you strive for it, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle."

Xiao Bai decisively took down the red notice and took it to the official for registration.

The scribe specifically glanced at Xiao Bai, his eyes full of disdain: "You look fair and delicate, are you really up for it?"

"In a martial arts arena, swords and blades have no eyes; losing an arm or a leg is common. If you want to compete for the Royal Consort position, you must sign this agreement."

"If anything happens, we won't be responsible."

Just for Yu Yan's figure and looks, he definitely had to sign! Who knows what got into Yu Emperor's head to, against all precedent, offer a demon emperor fragment as the Peacock Princess's dowry.

"I'll sign..." Xiao Bai picked up the pen and signed decisively, his handwriting flamboyant and flashy.

"Mo Peng, come here, you sign too."

"Alright!" Mo Peng's face was bitter, clearly unwilling.

A tall, Red-clad Commander quickly entered Yu Emperor's study.
