"Wow, Blackie is so handsome! Blackie, I want to become your apprentice!" Xi Que was so excited that he jumped up and shouted.

Black Owl casually flicked his handsome beard, revealing a face that looked like that of a sunny young man, yet his smile was cold and wicked. This contrast even stunned Consort Jia.

This is definitely not an ordinary guard. Who is he?

"Have you thought this through? I am not like those ladies in the manor who can be manipulated at will. Are you really going to listen to that bandit and attack me? Aren't you afraid of provoking a war between our two countries?" Consort Jia's narrow eyes widened in anger as she glared at Hei Xiao, exuding a powerful aura.

If it were an ordinary guard, he might actually be intimidated by Consort Jia's innate aura.

Unfortunately, if it weren't for Shang Xiye restraining him, Black Owl would have dared to kill himself.

"A country? Do you still have a country?" Black Owl sneered, reaching out to grab Consort Jia.

Consort Jia originally wanted to dodge, but she also wanted to salvage her image of "not being good at martial arts". She only took a few steps back before Hei Xiao grabbed her by the shoulder and pressed her in front of Ji Fengyao.

Although she couldn't straighten her body, she held her head high, looking at Ji Fengyao defiantly: "Your Highness, you'd better not touch me. I'm not a pushover like Bai Rumei. If you mess with me, the Prince won't be able to protect you."

"Do I need the Prince's protection?" Ji Fengyao took out the dragon pendant from her bosom and patted it lightly on Consort Jia's head, arrogantly saying, "It seems your brain isn't very sharp either. Do you think the reason the Emperor bestowed the dragon pendant upon me was because I told him that I would suppress the Prince and ensure that no one, including the Prince, could bully me? So my backer has never been the Prince, but the Emperor, you idiot!"

You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots!

Consort Jia was so angry she vomited blood: "Even the Emperor wouldn't be willing to easily start a war for a bandit like you!"

"You won't admit you're stupid," Ji Fengyao's disdainful gaze swept across Consort Jia's face, as if arguing with such a wretched creature was an insult to her intelligence. Putting away the dragon pendant, she rolled up her sleeves: "Fine, I'll give you some pointers today."

A sharp slap landed across her face, instantly flattening Jiafei's proud face.

"You lowly bandit, how dare you!" Consort Jia roared.

"Smack!"

Ji Fengyao raised her hand and slapped Consort Jia again, leaving Consort Jia's face red and swollen. Then, hands on her hips, she said arrogantly, "Why wouldn't I dare? Do you think you're someone important? Haven't you heard that a fallen phoenix is ​​worse than a chicken? The Emperor is unwilling to fight for me, do you think your bunch of stray dogs would be willing to die for a stupid idiot like you? If they had that kind of backbone, would your Li Kingdom have been wiped out by the Prince so easily? What are you thinking? Is your brain filled with a bag of grass?"

Of course there is!

Those assassins who died in the narrow pass or in the deep forest on a rainy night, including Huan Yuan, all died in battle!

Consort Jia stared at Ji Fengyao with bloodshot eyes, her gaze like a deadly poison: "Ignorant bandit, I will not let you go, you will regret it."

"Slap, slap, slap, slap!"

Several more slaps landed on her face. Ji Fengyao said coldly, unconcerned, "Tinglan and Lü'er from Fengma Post Station, Qing Sang from the day you entered the manor, how many troubles have you caused me? Did I provoke you back then? Did you let me go then? Since you never intended to let me go from the beginning, I'll hit you anyway. What can you do about it? Bring on your tricks, I'll wait for you here and see who plays whom to death first!"
