Void;
As Song Xuhua's voice faded away, the silence in the great hall was instantaneous, as if time had stopped. No one could have expected that this unwieldy young man would be so bold as to reach out towards Liu Wuxin.
The maidens were all shocked, surprised, and couldn't believe it. Compared to them, Song Qiu and Song Jian were even more so.
Liu Wuxin furrowed her eyebrows, her face changing color repeatedly. If it weren't for Chen Mo being by her side, she would have to put on a show of modesty. Otherwise, she might have already taken action to eliminate him before he even finished speaking.
Chen Mo was first startled by Liu Wuxin, and now, with Song Xuhua's words, he was startled again.
However, upon careful consideration, he thought it wasn't so strange after all.
Song Xiu, the sixth prince of Wu, was a well-known playboy. From a young age, he had used his handsome appearance to seduce many virtuous women, even some married women.
Since his adulthood, he had never failed a woman. No matter how beautiful a woman was, she couldn't help but be charmed by his inherent charm.
Liu Wuxin could be said to be the most strikingly beautiful woman in the grand hall, and she was unmarried and of noble birth. Compared to the virgins, she was undoubtedly the most desirable choice.
But at the same time, she was also the most difficult to conquer.
However, since his childhood, Song Xiu had never lost to women. He didn't know what defeat was. Since he came for an alliance, why not choose the most optimal one?
Scoundrel.
The moment Yun Chuandong heard this, her hair immediately stood on end, and she slapped the chair with one hand before rising to her feet. Her eyes bulged with anger as she glared at Chen Mo, who was already giving her headaches. Now there was another Song Xiu.
Yun Chuandong opened her mouth, ready to scold this impertinent fellow, but then a surge of invisible spiritual pressure came abruptly. A pair of red and blue heterochromatic eyes burst into dazzling light. Song Xiu felt as if he were being stared at by a strange beast hidden in the depths of the abyss.
He couldn't breathe.
It seemed that in just an instant, he would die on the spot.
"Slap."
A crisp sound fell to the ground, and Song Xiu could no longer contain himself, collapsing onto the ground before falling unconscious.
Liu Wuxin retracted the terrifying gaze and the chilling aura, and turned to look at Song Qiu and Song Jian, "Today's matter, I will not hold it against you. But you must not think that I am easy to deceive. If there is a next time, it won't be as simple as making him unconscious."
With that said, Liu Wuxin gently waved her hand and said, "Retreat," which caused Song Qiu and Song Jian to tremble in fear. They quivered as they dragged Song Xiu away.
The entire grand hall was left with only Chen Mo, Liu Wuxin, and the five virgins.
The atmosphere became somewhat eerie again.
After a moment of hesitation, Yun Chuandong spoke with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, the prince of Wu was so impertinent. I intend to kill them all to maintain proper etiquette...”
Righteous and solemn, her words were both explicit and implicit in her concern for Liu Wuxin.
However, Liu Wuxin coldly laughed, "Hmm, the Wu country is under the influence of the Slashing Moon Alliance. At present, they have not attacked us because of internal divisions. If we kill the three princes of Wu, are we not giving them an opportunity to unite against us?"
"Moreover, if these three princes were dead, whom would you marry?"
Silence.
The entire grand hall fell into an eerie silence again. The virgins couldn't believe that, even though the sixth prince was so disrespectful, Liu Wuxin still wanted them to marry.
Yun Chuandong pursed her red lips and said in a pitiful tone, "Your Majesty, we don't want to leave you."
"Hmm."
Liu Wuxin cocked her head, supporting her chin with one hand while revealing a cold smile on her high-class face. "There are no permanent feast halls in the world. The four holy maidens of Tian Moistus have five people, and it seems that one of them is redundant. As for you, I have promised the Wu country, and I am not going to make things difficult for you. You can choose from among your five people who to be the one to marry."
With that said, the five looked at each other without any of them choosing to continue the conversation.
They had all shared life and death together. Although there might have been some disagreements between them in everyday life, at critical moments, they were unwilling to betray each other in any way.
Liu Wuxin played the black role, and Chen Mo played the red role accordingly.
"Without heart, since they have difficulty deciding on the choice, I think it would be better to do it this way. Since the existence of the holy maidens is to protect Tian Moistus, let's let the weakest one get married"
"That's a good idea, but... who is the weakest one among them?"
Liu Wuxin's eyes narrowed, her expression fierce as she stared at the other women. The women were all startled and kept their heads low without uttering a word.
Chen Mo smiled slightly, extending his right index finger and waving it in the air. All the women watched his finger with terror, fearing that he might point at them.
After all, it seemed that their lord was very willing to listen to the words of this stinking man.
"I think it would be better like this. There's no need to rush the matter of the marriage. The five holy maidens just returned not long ago, let them rest for a month first. After a month, let them compete with each other and select the best one..."
Liu Wuxin lowered her head and feigned deep thought, then nodded solemnly and said, "Brother's words are wise. Then we'll follow Brother's advice and give them a month."
"All right, let's end this matter for today. I'm tired."
Without giving the holy maidens a chance to argue, Liu Wuxin stood up and left directly.
No one dared to stop Liu Wuxin from leaving, but Chen Mo was different. Just as he was about to get up, several of the holy maidens stood in front of him and surrounded him.
Chen Mo sat in his chair, looking at the stern-faced holy maidens in front of him, and smiled awkwardly, "Ladies, is there anything else?"
Yun Chunqiu's eyebrows shot up in anger, shouting, "Tell us, wasn't it you who spoke against us to the Queen? Otherwise, how could she agree to the marriage so quickly?"
Yun Chuandong still had some brain cells left. After careful consideration, she felt that today's Liu Wuxin was too abnormal. Usually, even if Tian Moistus was in a dire situation, she would not sacrifice the generals like them.
"Oh, I never thought that by thinking of all of you, you would have such thoughts about me. It's so hurtful..."
Chen Mo rubbed his forehead with one hand and said in a sorrowful tone, "Don't you see that? If it wasn't for me giving you a month's time to prepare, you would have had to choose one of your own to marry right away today. I saved all of you. You didn't thank me, but instead blamed me unjustly. I regret it now. I shouldn't have helped you speak up in the first place."
Chen Mo said words that went against his heart without blushing or stammering, and his expression and demeanor were all spot on. If someone hadn't known beforehand, they might not have been able to see through his flaws.
However, just as he finished speaking, he saw the black-clad Mu Qiuyu lift one hand to her long sleeves and emit a "Kukukuk" strange laugh before seriously saying, "You have such a sharp tongue, almost tricked us."
