Qi Yujin had already stepped off one step, leaving only one foot on the platform.
The rule of their competition was that whoever left Taichung first would be the loser.
Qi Yujin realized he was just a hair's breadth away from losing to Mo Shisheng. His expression turned somewhat grim, but a slight smile still played on his lips. "Shangguan Yan, I was just letting you win. Did you think you would win? I will definitely marry you!"
Mo Shisheng's expression turned slightly cold. Taking advantage of Qi Yujin's attempt to retract her other leg, she swiftly moved towards Qi Yujin, using her own body as a pivot point, and forcefully sent Qi Yujin flying.
Before Qi Yujin could react, he noticed something resembling a flame hurtling towards him. He steadied himself and prepared to dodge, but the "flame" seemed to read his mind, blasting him away before he could react...
The banquet was completely silent; no one dared to utter a sound, not even daring to breathe...
There are six steps from the bottom of the stage to the top. Qi Yujin has already reached the bottom of the stage, while Mo Shisheng is doing a split on the steps, with only a small part of her clothes clinging to the stage.
"good!"
Someone in the crowd started by saying "Good!" and then began clapping, causing the entire banquet to erupt in cheers.
In this contest, they realized that Qi Yujin had used supernatural abilities, while Mo Shisheng, a mere Qi Refining Stage 2 cultivator, had actually used her own strength to defeat the Fourth Prince, a Foundation Establishment Stage 6 cultivator, and knock him off the stage.
This completely shattered their worldview!
"Very well, I declare Shangguan girl the winner!"
Qi Jingling stood up from the dragon throne, raised his hand to signal the crowd to quiet down, and then announced the results of the competition in his strong voice.
The moment Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao heard the results announced, they immediately rushed over and helped Mo Shisheng up.
Mo Shisheng's forehead was covered in beads of sweat. She had indeed used a lot of her special abilities to deal with Qi Yujin, and her physical strength seemed to be completely exhausted.
Sure enough, this world isn't full of people with superpowers like before; they're all cultivators...
Mo Shisheng took a deep breath and made a silent decision: she must obtain the Fennel Heart Grass. Only by curing the underlying cause of her illness could she continue her cultivation.
Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao helped Mo Shisheng slowly walk to Qi Jingling.
Qi Jingling slowly walked down and laughed loudly, "Well, like father, like son! You and your father are just as stubborn!"
"..."
Mo Shisheng remained silent. She had no memory of Shangguan Zong, so she did not respond.
"Your performance has truly amazed me. I promise you, you can make your own choice regarding your marriage. I can also grant you one more condition!"
Qi Jingling seemed to be in a very good mood, his gaze falling on Mo Shisheng with a hint of warmth.
Mo Shisheng didn't understand the tenderness in Qi Jingling's eyes, but she always felt that Qi Jingling didn't want her to marry Qi Yujin, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy.
The palace is a place where people's hearts are most complicated. Mo Shisheng was too lazy to play palace intrigue with him. Since Qi Jingling had agreed to one of her conditions, she naturally wouldn't waste this hard-won opportunity.
"I want fennel seeds."
Mo Shisheng spoke each word clearly, so that everyone at the banquet could hear him.
Fennel grass is extremely precious; there are probably no more than three plants in the entire Xuan Yun Continent, and the royal family has kept one.
But no one expected that Mo Shisheng's first request would be for fennel grass, which was an outrageous demand!
