Chapter 2111 - 2112: The Showdown Between Two Women (First Update)
Chapter 2111: Chapter 2112: The Showdown Between Two Women (First Update)
"Se-Second Princess, why are you here?" Huyue said, his face full of shock.
"Why? Am I not allowed to be here? Or... are you saying you’re not welcoming me?" Ao Yi walked slowly up to Huyue, speaking with a half-smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone nearby Huyue felt a sudden chill for some unknown reason.
Huyue’s expression became even more awkward. "Uh, Second Princess, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t mean it that way. I just... just..."
"Just what?" Ao Yi tilted her head, asking as she stood in front of Huyue.
At this moment, Ao Yi was not showing her usual domineering manner. Her delicate face paired with her gentle tone surprisingly gave off a very shy feeling.
But it was precisely this feeling that made Huyue’s hair stand on end.
Because he understood the Second Princess too well.
Whenever she smiled like this, it never boded well.
Sure enough.
Upon seeing Huyue at a loss for words, the smile on Ao Yi’s face gradually faded, her eyebrows raised, "Hmm? Didn’t you hear me, or are you deliberately ignoring me?"
"Cough, cough..." Suddenly, Ye Hanshang coughed, then said meaningfully to Tian Zena, "Old Tian, I just remembered something, let’s head into the Sword Palace Sector first!"
Tian Zena got the hint and nodded immediately, "Yes, I have something to do as well, let’s go together!"
Saying this, the two were about to walk inside.
At this moment, Ao Qing, who had been silently standing by, suddenly sighed lightly and said calmly, "Both of you, please wait a moment!"
Ye Hanshang and Tian Zena stopped in their tracks.
Then Ao Qing turned to look at his sister and said in a cold tone, "Yi’er, have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Yi, who had been aggressively questioning Huyue, immediately understood something and softened her attitude.
"Hehe, look at your dumbfounded face. I was just teasing you."
Huyue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking helpless.
Even though Ao Yi said this, he felt no relief whatsoever, for who knew what the woman, whose thought process was so different from normal, was really thinking.
And her sudden appearance was already making him feel a bit wary.
Could it be that she’s here because of the engagement?
Huyue was filled with doubts.
Just then, a loud laugh came from the direction of the Sword Palace Sector.
"I was wondering why my right eyelid kept twitching today, turns out my future grandson-in-law’s wife has arrived!"
With those words, a relaxed-looking Hu Huan appeared on the scene, followed by Hu An, who looked like he had no will to live.
To say he was following was putting it lightly; in truth, he was being dragged forcefully by Hu Huan. In essence, at that moment, Hu An was like an accessory to his unreliable master, brought everywhere he went.
But there was no helping it, given Hu Huan’s status and strength.
So, upon his arrival, whether it was Ye Hanshang, Tian Zena, or even Ao Qing, they all paid their respects.
Especially the Second Princess Long’er, who bowed to Hu Huan and said, "Greetings, Ancestral Fox!"
Hu Huan grinned and nodded, "No need for such formalities, future granddaughter-in-law. We’ll all be family soon, just call me Ancestor."
The crowd: "..."
Ao Yi’s eyes and eyebrows gleamed with joy. In the eyes of outsiders, the Nine-Tails Ancestral Fox might seem unreliable, but she held him in high regard.
Because it was he who had agreed on her marriage with Huyue, and now he was openly calling her his future granddaughter-in-law, which filled her with delight.
So she promptly called out crisply, "Ancestor!"
"Ah, good granddaughter-in-law!" Hu Huan laughed so much his eyes almost disappeared, then extended a hand to take out something from his pocket.
"Here, for you!"
Ao Yi took it, curiously examining the small, fluffy fox model in her hands, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow, so cute!"
Then she asked with some confusion, "Ancestor, what is this?"
"Oh, this is some fur I secretly cut from Huyue when he was born. Now I’m giving it to you as a meeting gift!"
Ao Yi was overjoyed, "Thank you, Ancestor!"
But Huyue, standing on the side, was staring wide-eyed, "Ancestor, you..."
Before he could finish, Hu Huan gave him a pat on the shoulder with a sly smile, "What? Do you have any objections?"
Huyue looked bitter, ready to speak, but a soft voice came from behind him.
"Ancestor, I want that item too, Rou’er wants it!"
The moment these words were spoken, everyone turned to look.
The crowd silently made way, revealing Rou’er, elegantly clad, slowly walking towards them from the back.
Seeing it was her, everyone’s expressions were exceptionally vibrant.
Ye Hanshang and Tian Zena couldn’t help but exchange a glance, thinking to themselves that they should have just left right away; this is a full-blown showdown!
Not mentioning what everyone was thinking, just speaking of the Nine-Tails Ancestral Fox Hu Huan, his expression became awkward upon seeing it was Rou’er.
"Uh... um... hmm..."
"What? Did Rou’er do something wrong, unworthy of a gift from you, Ancestor?"
"No, no, no, of course not, of course there’s no problem with the gift. Rou’er, just say what you want!" Hu Huan said immediately.
But Rou’er gently shook her head and then pointed at the little fox in Ao Yi’s hand, "I don’t want anything else, just the little thing made from my husband’s fur!"
Rou’er emphasized the word ’husband,’ implying a challenge.
Ao Yi was not to be outdone, coldly lifting her gaze, and the two locked eyes.
In that instant, to many, it seemed as if the air was sparking with tension, filling them with dread.
At least Hu Huan, standing the nearest, couldn’t help but swallow.
Even holding the dignity of a Nine Tails, there was an unmistakable sense of chill, causing him to laugh awkwardly.
"Haha, I suddenly remembered I have something important to take care of, you guys continue chatting, I’m off!"
As he spoke, he turned to leave.
But just then, a chubby hand grabbed him, and Hu An, looking like a little boy, shook his head at him in resignation and whispered.
"Master Ancestor, leaving like this, won’t you feel guilty? After all, these problems are all stirred up by you!"
In truth, Hu An had known trouble was brewing from the start.
For he understood all too well the temperament of his master ancestor, who sought problems even when there were none.
True to form, before three sentences were exchanged, Hu Huan had completely intensified the conflict between the two women.
Now he wanted to slip away quietly, but it wasn’t that simple.
Hu Huan’s face was filled with embarrassment, "How was I supposed to know this would happen!"
