Chapter 17: Dancing like crazy on the edge of death
The heavy carved door of the Golden Throne Hall was slowly pushed open by two strong men as the eunuch in charge of ceremonies shouted "Xuan——!" in a trembling voice.
The dazzling light from outside poured in, illuminating several figures coming against the light.
Walking in front was the third prince of Beidi, Ashina Teza.
He was not tall and wore a fur coat in the Northern Di style, with a ruggedness that was unique to the grassland people, but his brows revealed a sense of vanity and arrogance that was hollowed out by alcohol and sex.
Half a step behind him followed the gorgeously dressed Beidi princess Ashina Yunzhu.
This Mingzhu is indeed quite pretty. Her skin is white, which is rare on the grassland. Her facial features are gorgeous, especially her eyes, which are full of undisguised ambition and seduction.
Behind them were several Northern Di followers holding so-called tributes.
As soon as the so-called tribute showed up, all the civil and military officials in the court almost lost their composure!
A few pieces of ordinary fur, a few scimitars inlaid with cheap gems that even the rich families in Yan State disdain to use, and a few rough wooden boxes filled with herbs that are said to be "treasures of the grassland"... They are so shabby that they are not even as good as the New Year gifts given by the lowest-ranking officials!
Heh.
Nangong Yu sneered inwardly.
[Great, great... This is truly great! A defeated nation that was just beaten to a pulp, ceding territory and paying indemnities to finally breathe, offers tribute... This is it? Are we sending beggars?]
His sharp eyes swept across the pile of rags, and then fell on Ashina Teza's unconcealed arrogance and Ashina Yunzhu's eyes that were looking around, searching for a target.
[It seems that the old king of Beidi thinks that his daughter is his trump card and that everything else is just extra, just to fool me?]
A rage of being despised and insulted, mixed with the ecstasy of finally finding the perfect scapegoat, surged violently in his chest!
[Today, I will take back the social death from you Beidi people tenfold, a hundredfold! Use your blood and screams to cleanse my waist... ahem, cleanse my dignity!]
His fingers, pressing on the armrests of the dragon throne, trembled slightly with excitement.
Ashina Yunzhu's carefully painted charming eyes quickly scanned the hall like searchlights. When she passed by the majestic and cold Nangong Yu sitting on the dragon throne, she curled her lips.
[The Emperor of Yan? Too old, and with a stern face, so boring.]
His eyes quickly passed over the young Crown Prince Nangong Chengqian
【A little brat. 】
Finally, her gaze was fixed on the man at the front of the noble queue, who looked like an ice sculpture, with a noble and cold temperament - Prince Yong, Nangong Ye!
【 Found it! It's him! 】
Princess Yunzhu's heart began to beat wildly.
[Tall! Handsome! Noble! Commanding a large army! A hundred times more charming than in his portrait! This is the man I, Ashina Yunzhu, should be with! What does the Emperor of Yan mean?]
She completely forgot her father's instructions and the occasion. The hooks in her eyes almost turned into substance and stuck to Nangong Ye.
She even subconsciously puffed out her proud chest, turned slightly sideways, and assumed a posture that she thought was the most charming and seductive. She slightly opened her red lips and threw a glare in the direction of Nangong Ye that was so explicit that it was almost obscene!
Imagine saying with your eyes:
Prince, come on, have fun!
As soon as his Royal Highness the Third Prince Ashina Teza entered the palace, he was shocked by the grandeur of the Golden Palace of Yan Kingdom, but was immediately seized by an even stronger desire.
His greedy eyes swept over the dignitaries in the hall, and finally, they settled on... the little girl who was sitting on a small stool next to the dragon throne, holding her little face in her hands and looking at them with curiosity (watching the show)!
【(⊙o⊙)! !!! 】
Ashina Teza only felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if he was struck on the top of his head by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder!
[Oh my god! Goddess! How could such a beauty exist in this world?!]
Dongfang Yuning was wearing a light pink palace dress today. Her long black hair was simply tied up with pearl flowers, revealing her smooth and full forehead and exquisite facial features.
Her skin was as white and delicate as the finest mutton-fat jade, her almond-shaped eyes were big and round, clear and lively, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.
The small body curled up on the small stool, like an elf who had strayed into the mortal world.
In Ashina Teza's opinion, his sister Yunzhu, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Beidi, was like a stone in a cesspool meeting the bright moon in the sky compared to the little girl in front of him!
The difference is so huge that it's hard to describe!
A strong and unprecedented possessive desire instantly overwhelmed his mind.
His eyes became extremely hot and greedy, like a hungry wolf seeing the freshest and most tender lamb, and his gaze lingered on Dongfang Yuning unscrupulously.
From her small chin, to her slender neck, to her slightly rising and falling chest... all kinds of unbearable images began to appear in my mind uncontrollably:
[He pressed her down on a couch covered in mink fur… on a deserted grassland… in a magnificent palace… so hot… and made her cry and beg for mercy beneath him…]
The corners of his mouth even uncontrollably stretched into an obscene smile.
The moment Ashina Yunzhu cast her blatantly seductive glance at him, Nangong Ye felt as if he was being entangled by a cold, sticky poisonous snake!
The aura around him instantly dropped to freezing point!
The trace of amusement in watching the show that originally remained in those deep eyes completely disappeared, and was replaced by a cold murderous intent that was enough to freeze the Nine Nether Hell!
【You don't know how to live or die! 】
He didn't even bother to give Yunzhu a glance. All his anger and murderous intent were locked on Ashina Teza, who dared to covet his (predestined) little thing with such a vulgar look!
That murderous intent was as solid as substance!
The temperature around the entire procession of nobles dropped several degrees!
Dongfang Yanru’s old face turned pale with anger!
[Barbarians! Beasts! How dare you…how dare you insult my daughter Ning'er with such filthy eyes! I…I will fight you to death!]
The old man was so angry that he was shaking all over and almost wanted to take off his boots and throw them at me!
Dongfang Liezheng:
[You bastard! You're courting death!]
The eyes of the Marquis of Zhenguo instantly turned red, like an enraged lion!
The big hand like a palm-leaf fan has clenched its fist tightly!
The violent murderous aura swept out like a hurricane, and the legs of the civil servants closest to him went weak.
Dongfang Qichen:
[You are a disgrace to your manners! You are worse than an animal! You must be executed! You must be sliced into pieces!]
The gentle mask of the Minister of Rites was completely shattered, his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, and he had already arranged 108 kinds of torture for Ashina Teza in his mind that were in line with "ritual law".
Dongfang Linyuan:
[Very good, Beidi, right?]
The emperor's eyes were icy cold.
[Your cattle, sheep, fur, and mineral businesses... from today on, are completely over! I'll make sure you can't even afford to wear pants!]
He has already begun to plan how to unite all Yan merchants to impose devastating economic sanctions on Beidi.
Crown Prince Nangong Chengqian:
He had just hidden his own sister Nangong Yue behind a safer pillar. Nangong Yue was peeking out with excitement on her face. When she turned around, she saw that the Third Prince of Beidi dared to stare at his aunt with such a disgusting look!
【 Bastard! 】
The prince's face was instantly covered with frost, and the pressure from the crown prince and the anger from his nephew broke out at the same time!
[How dare you covet my aunt?! This is outrageous! I'm going to dig out his eyes and feed them to the dogs!] His fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were frighteningly fierce.
At this moment when the situation is tense and the air seems to be burning!
[Beep—beep—beep—!!!]
An extremely piercing whistle, like an air raid siren, exploded without warning in Dongfang Yuning's mind and in the hearts of all those who could hear!
[Warning! Warning! Red alert! Highest level of contamination!]
The system's electronic sound was distorted, filled with anger and disgust.
[Host! Hold on tight! This command has conducted a deep scan and locked onto the target: Asina Teza, the Third Prince of Beidi!]
Scan Results: The target's cerebral cortex is undergoing high-intensity, high-frequency, extremely obscene and shameless sexual fantasies! Target: You! Host!]
【What? ! 】
Dongfang Yuning was still curiously looking at the Beidi man whose eyes made her uncomfortable, and was stunned when she heard this.
[Specific sexual fantasy content must be mosaiced, otherwise it will pollute the core database of this system! ]
The system voice was full of contempt.
[Brief Summary: This target has already, in their filthy mind, forced you into various unsightly positions, imposing you in their fantasy scenarios, including but not limited to: a bed covered in animal skins, an empty grassland, a magnificent palace...]
An extremely bad, illegal, and cosmic harmony-violating act is being carried out!
The detail, filth, and vulgarity of their fantasies have already crossed the moral line of carbon-based life! Immediate humane destruction is recommended! Repeat! Immediate humane destruction!]
[Sauces and stuffed rice...? Covered with animal skins... Grassland... Palace...?]
Dongfang Yuning was a little confused at first, but when she saw Ashina Teza's disgusting look as if he wanted to strip her clothes off, she understood instantly!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
An unprecedented feeling of disgust, anger, and extreme shame, mixed together, erupted in her small body like a volcano!
She was so angry that her face turned red, and she suddenly jumped up from the small stool like a bloated pufferfish!
[Son of a bitch! Scoundrel! Pervert!]
Her clear almond-shaped eyes were blazing with fire, and her baby voice was roaring in her heart.
[Bring the scissors! Quick! Bring me the biggest, sharpest pair of scissors! I want to cut that evil thing off!]
Let him become a eunuch! No! Becoming a eunuch would be too good for him! I will cut him into pieces! Pieces! Feed them to the pigs! Feed them to the dirtiest pigs!
She was furious, and her little hands were making "clicking" gestures in the air.
This fierce and brutal voice, which carried a strong sense of physical castration, was like an invisible shock wave, instantly sweeping across the entire Golden Palace!
[Hiss——!!!]
A uniform gasp of shock!
An inexplicable chill, originating from the instinct of life, rushed from the tailbone to the top of the head!
All the men, young or old, regardless of their official rank, at this moment, tacitly and subconsciously clamped their thighs together!
The movements are so neat as if they have been practiced thousands of times!
Even Nangong Yu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt his hand tremble on the armrest, and felt a chill somewhere on his body.
Ashina Teza was immersed in the dirty fantasy of how to possess the little beauty in front of him for himself, when suddenly, a fierce and extremely crisp baby voice, with a terrible declaration that it would "snap" him to death, penetrated into his mind clearly and unhindered!
【(⊙⊙)? ? ? 】
Ashina Teza's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Dongfang Yuning who jumped up, with a red face, and "clicked" in the air in his direction, as if he had seen a ghost!
[She…she didn't open her mouth?! I…I was hallucinating?!]
A chill instantly replaced the lustful heat, making his back feel cold.
Ashina Teza was a little frightened by the strange voice and the solemn atmosphere in the hall, but his arrogance and his mind intoxicated by beauty prevailed.
He forced himself to suppress his uneasiness, took a step forward, and spoke to Nangong Yu on the dragon throne in a tone that he thought was very cool but was actually very greasy:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Yan!"
He bowed slightly, but couldn't help glancing at Dongfang Yuning.
"We, Beidi, wish to maintain friendly relations with the Yan Kingdom for generations! I offer you Beidi's most precious pearl—my sister Ashina Yunzhu, and..."
He paused, his greedy eyes locked onto Dongfang Yuning again, and he pointed his finger.
"This beautiful lady! I beg Your Majesty to grant her to me as my eighteenth concubine! I will..."
Boom——!!!
Before he finished speaking, the air in the entire Golden Palace seemed to be ignited!
"presumptuous--!!!"
"You bastard!"
"court death--!"
Several furious shouts rang out at the same time like thunder!
Coming from different directions, but carrying the same hatred and rage!
Dongfang Liezheng was the first to jump up!
He stepped out of the ranks of generals, his tall body was like an iron tower, and the violent murderous aura almost condensed into substance!
He pointed at Ashina Teza's nose, his voice resounding like a bell, each word carrying the murderous aura of war and destruction:
"You damn Third Prince! Who do you think you are?! How dare you covet my little sister from the Dongfang family?! And you want her to be your eighteenth concubine?!
I will make sure you have no descendants now, and you will never have a nineteenth wife in this lifetime!"
Before he finished speaking, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword. It looked like he was going to rush over and castrate Ashina Teza on the spot!
Being humiliated in public like this, Dongfang Yuning was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his little face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue!
She stared at Ashina Teza with a look that seemed as if she wanted to cut him into pieces!
【System! System!】
She roared in her heart like a nuclear explosion.
I can't stand it anymore! A warrior can be killed but not humiliated! Open the system mall for me! Now! Immediately! Right now! I want weapons! Hot ones!
The kind that emits blue fire! Or the kind that emits smoke and explodes into dust with a bang! I'm going to kill him! Now! Right now! Blast him to dust! Not a scrap left! Quick! Deduct points as you like! If it's not enough, I'll give you credit!]
She completely lost her temper!
The microcosm is burning!
System 118:
[Host... calm down! Hot weapons... da da da... boom... our mall has them (Arms section: RPG rocket launchers, Gatling Buddhas, AK47 Buddhas...),
But... but using weapons that don't conform to the laws of physics in this plane will result in a lightning strike! And it's easy to accidentally injure friendly forces! Calm down! Calm down! Why don't you watch your brother and your brother-in-law perform first?]
Dongfang Yuning:
[I don't care! I'm going to kill him! Now! Right now! I'll let the lightning strike me! Before I kill him, I'm going to blast him into smithereens! Give it to me—!]
At this critical moment, when all the members of Yan State were furious, Dongfang Yuning was about to "summon" illegal arms, and the situation was about to get completely out of control——
On the dragon throne, Nangong Yu slowly stood up.
There was no expression on his incomparably handsome face at this moment, only a bottomless coldness that froze one's bones.
He looked down at Ashina Teza, who was like a clown, as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Oh."
A very light sneer was more frightening than any roar.
"The Third Prince of Beidi, Ashina Teza..."
Nangong Ye's voice was calm, yet it carried a kind of indifference that dominated life and death.
"You are very good. How dare you dream of being my future princess!"
The cold words were like the judgment from the Netherworld.
The arrogance and lust on Ashina Teza's face were finally replaced by boundless fear.
