Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please Chapter 44.3

Chapter 44.3: Love s.n.a.t.c.hed Away
"It is said that the Ninth Princess came here this time for matchmaking but wouldn't the Ninth Princess' name alone draw countless young and talented to want to become the Water Edge's Ninth son-in-law? It then makes me wonder whether the princess has someone you have in your heart within our Green Wave Kingdom?" The Green Wave Emperor's face was highly benevolent but he actually had some others thoughts in his heart. Even if the other party had no intention of starting a war with them, they had surely come here to with an aim to taunt and challenge them. He did not believe that the Water Edge Kingdom would do something as senseless as to come a thousand miles all the way to the Green Wave Kingdom just for leisurely sightseeing and fun.
Yue Xin Yan's face still retained an una.s.sailable smile. "Xin Yan has just undergone her coming of age ceremony and I am not exactly that keen to be seeking marriage currently. If someone is to come to win my heart, that person must definitely be someone stronger than I am."
She paused a moment after she finished, her gaze turning upon Xuanyuan Che, the corners of her mouth lifting up. "I hear that this great kingdom's His Highness, the Crown Prince is the top disciple of the Faint Mist Sect's Sect Leader and although he is still so young, he has far surpa.s.sed many of his seniors fellow disciples who are older than him. I think he must be a very powerful and talented man."
Once those words came out, everyone else were not that calm anymore.
[What is the Water Edge Kingdom's princess seeking to do here?]
Her intentions were clear to see and everyone present knew what she was doing. She couldn't possibly not know the His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Ning Feng were engaged in marriage and here she was blatantly fighting for Princess Ning Feng's man. That was just too arrogant wasn't it?
Although she was the princess of another kingdom, she couldn't possibly come in here and flagrantly want to s.n.a.t.c.h someone else's fiance so shamelessly!
The people in the hall immediately started to try to locate Yan Ning Luo and they all found her seated right among the womenfolk. However, Yan Ning Luo's demeanor was highly calm and indifferent, not showing the slightest trace of rage from being blatantly challenged in front of everyone, looking steady and unaffected, without even a ripple of emotion.
The people could not help but silently admire her. She was their topmost prodigious young lady as expected, as such strong willpower was not something any ordinary person could possess.
But how could they possibly know that Yan Ning Luo actually did not have feelings for Xuanyuan Che at all, and not to mention there someone was taunting her, it would be best if she could s.n.a.t.c.h Xuanyuan Che away, so she would be able to take the chance to annul the engagement.
Qing Yu began to develop a bit of interest towards this highly candid little princess. [Does she really like the Crown Prince at all? Why was she feeling that this la.s.s' true intention was not that simple?]
As the person directly involved, Xuanyuan Che was also startled by those words that felt so much like a confession of her feelings for him. He went on to merely nod his head politely at her, and then said in a gentle voice: "I thank the Ninth Princess for your strong praise, but my royal person is already engaged in marriage."
The rejection was already clear through his words which also caused all the other ladies who harboured fantasies about Xuanyuan Che to have their little hearts broken to pieces onto the ground. With the Crown Prince so deeply in love, it was thought that they all would not stand a chance at all.
However, Yue Xin Yan just smiled, seemingly completely unaffected. "I know that. So, I only have one request to make, that I hope His Majesty the Emperor would grant."
"I wonder what the Ninth Princess' request is?" The Green Wave Emperor had showed that he was equally shocked by Yue Xin Yan's feelings for the Crown Prince, but he was also rather curious what her objective really was.
"This princess here has never stepped out from the Water Edge Kingdom before for the past ten over years and have only focused on my cultivation training, hence I would think of myself as slightly above average in my skills. But I have often heard that there is a highly gifted and prodigious young lady in the Green Wave Kingdom, acclaimed to be the most highly skilled among the women of the Green Wave Kingdom, frequently comparing me to this young lady, which has perplexed me quite a bit."
Hearing those words come out from her, Yan Ning Luo's gaze deepened, seemingly having already guessed what she was going to say next.
As expected, Yue Xin Yan's next statement that was delivered with a disarming smile said: "I am also very curious, between me and this prodigious young lady in this great kingdom, who stands a notch higher. Hence, I have come here to issue a challenge to her."
Yue Xin Yan had a small and pet.i.te figure, with mischievous and adorable looks. But if you were taken in by her looks, you would have already lost.
The la.s.s was one who possessed strong battle l.u.s.t through and through, and many of the Water Edge Kingdom's men were not her match.
