"Aww!"
The lion howled in pain, while simultaneously roaring in anger.
"Wh-what?" Li Xuanche exclaimed in surprise, quickly sitting up from his seat. "He actually dodged that attack just now."
Xilong was even more furious: "Despicable! How dare they use such dirty and despicable means against our King of the Desert!"
"Hahaha, what's the big deal? Xilong, don't be such a sore loser. My Crown Prince already held back with that attack. He was using a wooden sword that had no lethality. If it had been an ordinary sword, you, the lion, would have been injured by now."
The emperor laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
He truly hadn't expected the Crown Prince to possess such abilities; he had seriously underestimated him before.
At any other time, Li Shengyuan might have felt jealous, but at this moment, when he needed to show off in front of these foreign vassal kings,
Li Changyu's display of ability made him feel extremely proud.
"Your Majesty, your Great Yue is truly full of talented people, and the Crown Prince is undoubtedly a dragon among men," Po Suomeng said with an admiring smile, her face veiled.
The flattery was perfectly timed.
"Don't get too cocky! The lion has been locked up for so long, it definitely won't be able to unleash its full power on the first try. It's the king of the desert lions, so let's wait and see!"
Xilong gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up.
But Li Changyu was completely at ease; neither the first nor the second strike could touch a single hair on his head.
Even with all their might, they could only shred a small piece of his clothing. "This, this is too amazing!"
"The Crown Prince's martial arts skills have reached such an unparalleled level!"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince truly has the same demeanor as you did back then! You once fought a bear with your bare hands, and now the Crown Prince confronts an enraged lion with just a wooden stick. Truly, like father, like son!"
Qin Xianling gave a thumbs up; he was known throughout the court as the best at flattery.
Although his daughter Qin Miaomiao has lost power and been banished to the cold palace, it has not affected Li Shengyuan's high regard for Qin Xianling.
On the contrary, because the Prince of Pingxi rebelled, Li Shengyuan intended to select one of the current high-ranking officials to replace the vacant position of prime minister.
Both Qin Xianling and Murong Fuhai wanted this position, especially Qin Xianling, who had been flattering Li Shengyuan with increasing fervor lately, making Li Shengyuan very happy.
"My dear minister, you have excellent taste and are very eloquent!"
"It's all because Your Majesty is so outstanding; I was merely pointing it out!"
At this moment, Mi Shan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally began to settle down. She felt that Li Changyu was not nervous at all, and was as at ease as if he were playing with a lion.
Prince Rui clapped repeatedly, saying, "Great, Second Brother, that was fantastic! Second Brother, you've really made our Great Yue proud!"
Li Changyu: "It's so noisy."
Prince Rui: "..."
At this moment, Zhao Si couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous smile as he approached Mi Shan: "What's this? Consort Mi Hui, Prince Rui, you don't know, our Crown Prince trains day and night. Every night before bed, he practices martial arts, and he gets up to train before dawn. It's just a lion. Last time when he subdued the fire qilin, he dealt with it all by himself."
"What kind of dangerous creature is the Fire Qilin? And he's all alone?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Rui was stunned.
