Chapter 160: Situ Yu is not as good as a feather of Yun Ling

The birthday banquet has not started yet, but many orcs have already arrived in the Glazed Palace.

Sheng Ran looked around and saw that everyone was wearing extremely complicated and gorgeous clothes. Compared to them, they did seem a little out of place.

But it's not as bad as what Sheng Jieyue said.

Just because they dress simply, should they be labeled as perfunctory, indifferent, or shabby?

It seems that this trend of extravagance in the central city is not without source.

She had her face covered, and Sheng Jieyue couldn't observe her expression, which made her feel a little bored.

Sheng Jieyue couldn't wait to lift Sheng Ran's veil and make fun of her current appearance.

She extended her hand again, feigning kindness. "Sister, why are you wearing a veil today? We grew up together, and I've seen all sorts of you. Besides, with me here, no one dares to comment on your appearance."

"--Or, have you suffered so much during your time at Zhangwei Mountain? Your face is scratched and looks worse than before? It's okay. I have the best ointment here that can help you repair your appearance."

Her words seemed caring, but in fact, every sentence was implying that Sheng Ran was "ugly and needed a veil to cover her face", deliberately belittling her in front of everyone.

Sheng Ran took a step back, avoided her hand, shook her head, and said nothing.

She couldn't get angry or anxious. The more emotional she became, the more speechless she became.

Huai Jun stopped Sheng Jieyue's hand again, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Saint Lady."

"However, my wife is not unwilling to show up for the reason you mentioned."

"She is safe and sound at the end of the chapter, living a good life, and her appearance has naturally been nurtured to be extremely beautiful. She is wearing a mask simply to keep a low profile, please forgive me."

When Sheng Jieyue heard this, she curled the corners of her lips indifferently and let out a long laugh.

He even turned around to glance at Situ Yu beside him, as if he had discovered something extremely absurd. "Ayu, do you think this little prince of the Sea Kingdom can't adapt to life in the Savage Continent? Is there something wrong with his mind?"

"My sister's face hasn't been like that for just a day or two. My family has tried many methods to help her over the years, but there's been no improvement. How can it be cured just by going to Zhangwei? What a joke!"

"Don't worry. As her elder sister and the Holy Female of the Beast World, I absolutely don't harbor the slightest disdain. In my heart, no matter what crime she committed to be exiled to the wilderness, as long as she sincerely repents, she will still be my best and dearest sister!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding orcs began to talk.

"The Saint Female is indeed the most beautiful and kind-hearted female beast in the entire Beast World Continent!"

"If I had a sister like this, I would want to kick her out of the house. But the Holy Female is so tolerant of Sheng Ran!"

"Wait, if I remember correctly, Sheng Ran's crime at that time was to give the prince a love fruit?"

"Even though her own sister coveted her beastly husband, she still managed to let bygones be bygones. Such magnanimity truly worthy of being the Saint Female we admire!"

…

At this moment, Situ Yu's pupils narrowed a little, and his eyes swept around, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

He was not speaking up for Sheng Ran, he just didn't like his name appearing in the mouths of these ordinary people.

But he had to do the whole play. Since Sheng Jieyue played the role of a good sister, he had to take on this role as well.

Situ Yu curled his lips and looked at Sheng Ran, then spoke as if giving alms.

"Sheng Ran, you came back because you must have known you were wrong. As long as you admit your mistakes to me and ask Sheng Jieyue to forgive you, I can consider letting you stay in Central City and give you a chance to serve me."

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of echoes from all around.

"Not only is the Holy Lady generous, but Prince Situ Yu is even more merciful, willing to give her a chance!"

"Sheng Ran, admit your mistake! It's your blessing to be able to serve the prince!"

Sheng Ran looked at the hypocritical couple in front of her, a pair of "talented man and beautiful woman", and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She raised her head and looked directly at Situ Yu. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were like a sharp knife, piercing his arrogance - as if saying: Are you worthy?

Situ Yu was stunned by her gaze, and then he became angry and said, "What do you mean? This prince gave you a chance, and you dare not appreciate it?"

When had Sheng Ran dared to look at him like that? Was this still her?!

"Situ Yu, don't scare my sister." Sheng Jieyue spoke at the right time, seemingly trying to reconcile, but in fact she was adding fuel to the fire. "My sister just came back from Zhangwei Mountain, and she may not be able to adapt to life in the central city for a while. Besides, you forgot, she can't speak now, don't force her!"

Sheng Jieyue reminded Situ Yu, but also told everyone that Sheng Ran was a mute.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

"What? Sheng Ran is not only ugly now, but also has no beast form, and can't even speak?"

"How can she survive in the Beast World like this, relying on the only three beast husbands left by her side?"

Sheng Jieyue elegantly adjusted the hem of her skirt and played with the hair by her ear. "So, sister, why don't you consider what Ayu suggested just now?"

In this beast world, females have always been superior to males, but there are no beast-shaped orcs. Regardless of gender, their status is the lowest.

Sheng Ran's parents no longer recognize her. If she wants to return to Central City, she doesn't even have a decent place to live.

Situ Yu's willingness to let Sheng Ran stay by her side and serve her was already a "gift".

Sheng Jieyue then lowered her voice and kindly advised, "These beastly husbands around you must have suffered a lot following you, right? Are you sure they will always be loyal to you?"

Yun Ling's brows darkened, and he spoke bluntly, "Lady Saint Female, since you yourself are not sincere in your feelings, isn't it too narrow-minded to presume on us?"

Although he addressed her respectfully, he was the one who least treated Sheng Jieyue as a saint. He was sharpening his sharp black feathers, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent.

A crack appeared in Sheng Jieyue's perfect expression. She swallowed nervously until she saw the guards everywhere in the Liuli Palace, and then she felt relieved again.

"You are just a little servant, and you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me." Sheng Jieyue gritted her teeth. "Even if you marry into our Sheng family, marry Sheng Ran, you are not presentable given your background. Who allowed you in?"

She raised her chin and was about to ask someone to kick Yun Ling out.

But Sheng Ran suddenly reached out and protected the ungrateful black bird behind him.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "It seems that during the time of exile in Zhangwei, the relationship between my sister and the beast husbands was quite good."

"No wonder I didn't agree to A Yu's suggestion immediately," Sheng Jieyue smiled, covering her lips.

Sheng Jieyue really likes the way Sheng Ran doesn't talk back when being scolded.

If she were left like this in Central City, the days ahead would definitely be very interesting.

She continued to persuade him, "But don't you like Ayu the most? If I give you the opportunity to serve him again, you should be more than happy to do so."

However, a strange voice suddenly sounded from my ears——

"If you like it, go ahead."

Sheng Jieyue's smug smile froze on her face. She couldn't believe it. "What did you say... aren't you mute?!"

"Yeah," Sheng Ran looked at her calmly, finding it funny, "I'm mute, not blind."

"Situ Yu is so ugly that he is not even as good as a feather of Yun Ling."

"I feel sick just looking at him any more."
