Quan Yao felt a shiver run through her heart when she saw those arrogant and unruly eyes.
That face... it's so beautiful it makes you jealous!
Why should the perfect Quan Yao lose to the useless Quan Ji in terms of appearance?
Sooner or later... she will ruin this face.
A flash of jealousy crossed her eyes, replaced by confusion and innocence: "How did you get here? And... why did you bring this man to the palace? Are you determined to make Father Emperor completely give up on you?!"
Quan Ji raised an eyebrow.
"If we don't bring him here, won't he be left with no way to prove anything?"
"Quan Yao, do you know how much effort it took me to pull him out of a pile of corpses? You used him and then silenced him. You're quite the player!"
Quan Ji's voice was comparable to the ice of a snow-capped mountain, cold and shrouded in mist, captivating all who heard it.
Quan Yao took two steps back guiltily, glanced up at her father's face, and feigned anger, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. I've always respected you all these years, and I've always wanted to help you no matter what mistakes you've made. But that's not a reason for you to frame me. I am the second princess of the Holy Glory Empire, and the glory of the royal family must not be smeared!"
As she spoke, she covered her chest with both hands, and swirled around herself with ice crystals and rubble, quickly flying towards Princess Quan.
The sharp ice crystals were especially terrifying, seemingly capable of instantly slicing through Quan Ji's flesh.
Quan Zhan's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he smiled with satisfaction.
As expected of his proudest second daughter, she has awakened natural-type superpowers at such a young age, which is his pride!
He didn't like Princess Quan, but with the Holy Conferment Ceremony approaching, it was impossible for anything to happen to either of the candidates.
Moreover, what kind of image would it be to let outsiders see the royal family killing each other in public?
He was about to say something when he saw the ice crystal suddenly change direction, its target the man at Quan Ji's feet.
Snap—
Before the ice crystals could even touch anyone, they shattered in mid-air, the ice shards scattering like small fireworks, leaving only one ice cone.
Quan Ji said with a cold sarcasm: "That's it?"
Swoosh—
She grasped the last ice spike floating in mid-air and casually tossed it. The ice spike flew towards Quan Yao with even greater force than before, perfectly slicing a gash across Quan Yao's face before finally striking the wall and shattering.
Quan Yao stared wide-eyed in horror, unable to believe what had just happened.
She...she actually felt a sense of impending death?
joke!
How could that useless Quan Ji have shattered her supernatural power?!
However, Quan Zhan was enraged before she could react.
He rose from his throne and angrily rebuked Princess Quan: "Princess Quan! What exactly do you want?! Yao Yao is yours..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Quan Ji sneered and interrupted him.
She raised her chin, showing no sign of bowing down even before the emperor's majesty. Instead, her aura grew even stronger, and the domineering presence in her every move made people want to submit involuntarily.
"What are you trying to say? Forget it, that word is too offensive to my ears."
"You—" Quan Zhan choked on her words, his anger rising. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Fine, fine, then I'll see what tricks you're up to. Everyone's here now, so speak!"
What a wicked princess, daring to defy her superiors!
If it weren't for the fact that he was to be conferred the title of saint tomorrow, he would have loved to slap this rebellious daughter to death!
Quan Ji's cold eyes narrowed downwards as she released her foot from the man's back, gathered her strength, and kicked out.
puff--
The man was kicked away, the intense pain causing him to vomit blood, and he finally landed at Quan Yao's feet.
Quan Yao cried out in surprise and retreated several steps.
"Tell me! Who's playing with you?!"
Quan Ji's voice suddenly resounded throughout the main hall of the imperial palace.
