Confronting the princess

historical

Kong Rui didn’t want to attract attention and planned to take a token with a method like Fu Jiao’s.

Unexpectedly, just as she leaped into the air, a silver whip struck her face.

Fortunately, Kong Rui was alert. She straightened her back and somersaulted back to her seat.

She jerked her head at Wen Qiong, who held a silver whip. “What do you mean by this?”

Wen Qiong had already retracted her silver whip and held the token in her hand.

She said apologetically, “I saw that you didn’t move for a long time. I thought you were worried that your cultivation level wasn’t high enough and that you would embarrass the Li family here.”

“I just wanted to help you..” Wen Qiong said, waving the medallion. “Here! I got your medallion for you!”

After saying that, Wen Qiong threw the token in Kong Rui’s direction.

Kong Rui naturally realized Wen Qiong’s intention to humiliate her and her expression turned ugly.

She didn’t reach for the token. It fell to the floor.

“Sister Ling, what do you mean? Are you offended that I took matters into my own hands?” Wen Qiong said, sounding aggrieved.

When everyone heard this, they marveled at the princess’s painstaking efforts.

“The princess is really gentle. Why doesn’t Li Ling accept her kindness?”

“That’s right! Isn’t this embarrassing the princess in public?”

“The princess should have been the one to fight in the Li family. I wonder why this unknown girl replaced her at the last minute!”

“Look at her arrogant look. If I didn’t know better, I’d think she was nobler than the princess!”

Everyone criticized Kong Rui one after another.

Kong Rui was already used to Wen Qiong’s behavior. Now, she wouldn’t be easily manipulated by others.

Nie Yin turned to look in Kong Rui’s direction. Although he wasn’t surprised that the unruly woman would do such a thing, he didn’t expect her to really disregard the Li family and the royal family’s reputation!

Kong Rui looked down at the token lying on the ground and then looked in Wen Qiong’s direction. “If I remember correctly, the participants will choose their own tokens and opponents for this competition!”

“Now that the princess has helped me choose this token, I wonder if I’m going to compete or if the princess will help me compete!” Kong Rui said as she glanced at Wen Qiong meaningfully.

Wen Qiong froze for a moment.

Kong Rui was right. The choice of token concerned the contestant’s future victory or defeat.

If Kong Rui really encountered a powerful opponent because the princess chose the token, the Li family might resent the princess.

Moreover, it didn’t make sense for the princess to choose the token but let Kong Rui compete.

When everyone heard Kong Rui’s words, they couldn’t tell who was right and who was wrong.

Hua Shang looked at Kong Rui with interest. He didn’t expect this girl to find such an excuse for herself.

She clearly didn’t want the princess to steal the limelight and deliberately embarrassed the princess. But now, she condemned the princess.

It seemed that it was really impossible to guard against fights between women!

While the two of them were arguing, other than a few tokens that had already been chosen, the rest landed in the center of the Bestial Battle Arena.

Kong Rui glanced at the center of the colosseum, then turned around and winked at the cub.

Little Lion raised its head and raised one wing. With a light flap, it fanned the token in front of Kong Rui into the center of the colosseum.

The token landed on the ground. Kong Rui jumped down and dived towards the center of the colosseum.

The audience was at least 30 feet above the arena. If a mortal fell, they would definitely die.

Although Kong Rui had cultivation, it seemed like she had no intention of using her cultivation to protect herself.

“Could it be that she regretted contradicting the princess just now and felt that she wouldn’t be able to explain herself when she returned, so she chose to commit suicide on the spot?” Someone couldn’t help but guess.

“If she falls like this, even if she doesn’t die, she’ll be crippled! Is this girl from the Li family crazy? She’s gambling with her life just to avoid participating in the competition?”

“To think that she rode a divine beast into the arena previously. I thought she would be the most anticipated contestant this year!”

While everyone was discussing, Kong Rui had already quickly landed in the center of the colosseum and reached out to grab a token.

In the next moment, just as everyone thought that Kong Rui was about to die, a golden light flashed in the center of the colosseum.

The griffin swooped down and caught Kong Rui, who was about to hit bottom.

It carried Kong Rui and soared into the sky from the bottom of the Bestial Battle Arena.
