Chapter 159: No one has ever deprived me of my protagonist's halo.

This time, Pei Xiaoxing and Ling Rui came directly from home, and Sheng Ran didn't wait for them.

She brought the other three beast husbands to the gate of the Glazed Palace, took out the invitation letter and handed it to the guard.

The moment the guard took the invitation, his eyes suddenly changed.

He subconsciously looked up at her, his gaze lingering on her veil for a long time before reluctantly letting go.

"——The Saint Sister has arrived!"

When Sheng Ran heard the message, she frowned in dissatisfaction.

Just because of Sheng Jieyue's existence, is she not even worthy of having a name?

This is not the end yet.

As soon as I stepped into the palace gate, the surrounding discussions were like needles piercing my body——

"Isn't that Sheng Ran? How did the useless woman who was exiled to Zhangwei Mountain come back?"

"Oh, she must have known about the lively Saint's birthday party and wanted to take advantage of it. Look, she's wearing a veil. Isn't she afraid others will see her ugly face?"

"I heard she had several bestial husbands before, but how come there are only three left now? I'm afraid they all ran away because they knew she was ugly and mute?"

"I don't know why the Saint Female would send her an invitation. If it were me, I would have kicked such a shameful sister out of Central City long ago!"

The discussion was not loud, but every word reached Sheng Ran's ears clearly.

Zhu Jiuyin clenched his fists in anger, with orange flames appearing on his palms. He wanted to turn around and argue with those people, but Sheng Ran gently held him down.

"Don't be impulsive." Sheng Ran's voice came through the veil, with a hint of slowness, but very calmly, "We are here for a banquet, not to quarrel."

Seeing that she could still clearly express what she wanted to say, Yun Ling knew that her master was not angry yet.

He lowered his eyes and flattened the corners of his lips.

Huai Jun took half a step forward, protecting Sheng Ran behind him, with a cold look in his eyes.

He quietly mobilized his phonetic abilities and softly recited a few syllables to the orcs who were talking the most fiercely.

The orcs suddenly felt a buzzing in their ears, as if countless insects were crawling inside. They shut their mouths instantly and looked around in confusion, but could not find the source of the sound.

When Yun Ling felt this powerful aura of supernatural power, he knew that Huai Jun had taken action.

He felt a little more relaxed, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes swept over the orcs who were talking.

"Some people themselves are ugly, yet they still have the nerve to point fingers at others?"

The orcs' faces turned red after being confronted by Yun Ling, but they did not dare to refute.

After all, the black bird of the Sheng family has long been famous in the Central City for its supernatural powers, and has been terrifyingly powerful since birth.

No one wants to get into trouble because of a few words.

But Yun Ling didn't regard this matter as just a "verbal dispute".

A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

"If anyone speaks rudely to my master again, I wouldn't mind peeling off your face and hanging it at the city gate for everyone to judge."

Those faces that had just turned red with anger now turned pale with fear.

If these words were spoken by someone else, they might be meant as a joke or a warning.

But Yun Ling is different. If he dares to say it, it means he dares to do it.

The discussions around gradually died down, and no one dared to say a word.

However, the gazes that fell on Sheng Ran were still full of contempt and disdain.

Sheng Ran straightened her back, ignored the gazes, and just held the hands of the beast husbands, walking step by step into the palace.

She knew that these taunts were just prelude and the real confrontation was yet to come.

Sure enough, just as I walked to the center of the hall, a gentle voice suddenly came: "Sister, long time no see."

Sheng Ran looked up and saw a female beast in a moon-white dress walking towards her.

Her skirt was inlaid with large pieces of gems, which formed the shape of flowers and sparkled in the magnificent glass palace.

When her skirt fluttered in the wind, it seemed as if countless lotus flowers were blooming around her.

Her hair was tied into an exquisite bun with a pearl-studded hairpin inserted in it.

There was a perfect smile on her face and her eyes were as gentle as a pool of spring water.

If someone doesn't understand her, they will be deceived by this "gentleness".

Sheng Ran felt cold all over and a cold sweat crawled up her back.

——Is this Sheng Jieyue?

The man's smile was terrifying and made her feel familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

She asked the system in her mind, but from her current memory, the system couldn't find it.

It's so suspicious.

Sheng Ran pretended to be calm and looked away.

The person standing next to Sheng Jieyue should be Prince Situ Yu.

He was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with dark golden snake patterns. The snake's eyes were inlaid with red gems, which glowed strangely under the light.

He has a handsome face, but carries an extremely aggressive aura.

The familiar feeling came over her again, and Sheng Ran felt as if something was suddenly strangling her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.

This man and woman in front of her were clearly the first time she met them, so why did she feel this way?

Sheng Ran took a deep breath and looked at Situ Yu again. This man's eyes were like a poisonous snake. The moment their eyes met, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His whole demeanor was superior, arrogant and conceited, as if he was certain that "Sheng Ran" still liked him.

Sheng Ran felt a sharp pain in her heart, which was the reaction from this body.

——The original owner would feel hurt only if she truly loved the person in front of her.

Sheng Ran simply couldn't understand. What was so likable about the Beast World version of Pu Xinnan?

She simply closed her eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

This painful look of covering one's chest could be interpreted differently by others.

Could it be that the master still likes this snake beast?

Yun Ling secretly clenched his fists and stood in front of Sheng Ran calmly, blocking her view to a certain extent.

"Why do you always wear a veil, sister?" Sheng Jieyue walked forward, seemingly wanting to touch her veil with concern, but a calculation flashed in her eyes.

Some time ago, Yuan Ziyun went to Zhangwei to inquire about her situation, but when he came back, he said that Sheng Ran had changed a lot.

Her appearance is different from before, she is much prettier, and the most surprising thing is that her voice is hoarse.

The news was half good and half bad, and Sheng Jieyue couldn't wait to verify its authenticity.

She quickly tried to lift Sheng Ran's veil, but Huai Jun stopped her first.

"My Lord Saint, my wife is not able to take it off today. Please forgive me."

Sheng Jieyue looked up, a flash of disdain flashing across her face before she forced a familiar smile. "Oh, Your Highness, the Little Prince of the Sea Kingdom, look at what you're wearing! I didn't recognize you. I forgot to welcome you just now. How disrespectful!"

She covered her mouth in feigned surprise and looked up and down at the clothes of Sheng Ran and his group.

"Why are you wearing these clothes? If you don't have any nice clothes, you can tell me in advance and I will definitely prepare some for you!"

Since she appeared, the entire hall has become quieter. In addition, Sheng Jieyue's voice was quite loud, so her words were clearly heard by everyone.

More and more people's eyes gathered here. Sheng Jieyue curled her lips contentedly and raised her chin.

Sheng Ran doesn't dare to take off her veil, which means that her beauty is fake.

After she finished talking like this, there was no rebuttal, which proved that the fact that she had become mute was true.

Sheng Jieyue felt relieved, and she said that up to now, in any world, no one had ever deprived her of the halo of the protagonist.

——Oh, there was one in my previous life.

It's a pity that he was already dead.
