Luo Huo 'er stood by the side and signaled Yi Yun with her eyes. Just as she was about to send a Yuan Qi voice transmission, Empress Xuan gave her a nonchalant glance. Luo Huo' er gaped her mouth but did not say another word.
Yi Yun was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Luo Huo 'er before looking at Empress Xuan. He was a little confused. Could this little demon girl be complaining to Empress Xuan and get her mother to help her regain her dignity …?
He still said sincerely, "When we were in the lower realms, the matter of the relic was just a joke that Her Highness played with me. However, at that time, I was thoughtless and was rude to Her Highness. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Luo Huo 'er's face flushed red. As for Empress Xuan, she glared at Luo Huo' er and said to Yi Yun with a smile, "Huo 'er previously said that she bullied you. Why do you sound like it's the other way around?"
Huh?
Yi Yun was stunned. He originally believed that the little demon girl would use her status as a princess to seek revenge on him, but from the looks of it, that was not the case … She had clearly been bullied by him back then, but she had told Empress Xuan that she had won completely.
Yi Yun was momentarily at a loss for words. The explosion of the relic was nothing, but if Empress Xuan knew that he had seen Luo Huo 'er's body, then …
Yi Yun coughed dryly. He felt that it was best to speak less today and listen more to Empress Xuan.
Actually, after today's banquet ended, Empress Xuan had asked Luo Huo 'er about Yi Yun. Luo Huo' er never expected Empress Xuan to ask about such trivial matters. Previously, she had covered up all her embarrassing matters and pushed the blame to Yi Yun. However, she never expected that her mother would have such a bad taste. She immediately summoned Yi Yun and exposed her in front of everyone.
Sure enough, a mother knows her daughter best.
Empress Xuan sized up Yi Yun curiously. She knew that her daughter was used to being a little demon queen in the royal capital. The guards and palace maids had often suffered at Luo Huo 'er's hands. Only a lass like Dong' er, who was silly to begin with, would not feel any sense of accomplishment from bullying her. That was why she was willing to follow Luo Huo 'er.
However, Empress Xuan never expected that someone would make Luo Huo'er suffer in a tiny place in the lower realm. She found it somewhat amusing.
Of course, in her eyes, this was just child's play.
Exposing one was enough, so Empress Xuan did not ask any further. Instead, she asked Yi Yun, "Are you used to living in the viscount residence?"
The change of topic made Luo Huo 'er heave a sigh of relief. If Empress Xuan really asked her about her exposure, with Empress Xuan's understanding of her, coupled with Yi Yun's muddled answers, she would really have to jump into a river!
Yi Yun said, "The viscount residence is spacious and comfortable. Thank you, Your Majesty Xuan."
Huo'er is right. The Luo Divine Hall trials are filled with experts and geniuses. You have to make plenty of preparations. You have to know that although you were in the limelight at the banquet, that is only in the aspect of the Desolate Heaven technique. Empress Luo's people are already going all out to take you down a notch at the Luo Divine Hall trials. This Empress will not lie to you. In terms of the number of top geniuses under her, This Empress is much worse than Empress Luo. The Luo Divine Hall trials will not be easy for you! "
Empress Xuan warned. Yi Yun nodded. He had naturally expected this.
"Yes. The reason why I invited you here is because I plan to have you cultivate in Magnificence Phoenix Palace. The cultivation area here is much better than the Viscount Manor. You can use it as you please. Huo 'er will also be with you."
When Empress Xuan said this, Yi Yun thought of something and asked, "Will Your Highness be participating in the Luo Divine Hall trials as well?"
Yi Yun originally believed that Luo Huo 'er was of a suitable age, so it was reasonable for her to participate in the Luo Divine Hall trials. However, Empress Xuan shook her head and said, "No, Huo'er will be going to the White Fox clan to participate in their collective training and trials. And in exchange, Princess White Fox will stay in the Luo Divine Hall trials."
Empress Xuan's words surprised Yi Yun slightly.
Exchange?
Why would the Luo clan and the White Fox clan exchange princesses? Was it the etiquette of the alliance between the two clans?
Yi Yun was somewhat curious, but directly asking Empress Xuan was somewhat abrupt. Furthermore, Empress Xuan did not seem to like the matter. Her slight change in expression indicated this.
"Alright, Huo'er will arrange a residence for you. You may leave. Huo'er, bring Yi Yun around to familiarize him with the environment."
As Empress Xuan said this, she waved her hand.
Luo Huo 'er was feeling embarrassed at this moment. Upon hearing Empress Xuan's instructions, she heaved a sigh of relief. She stuck out her tongue and tugged at Yi Yun's sleeve. "Let's go! What kind of eyesight is that? You have embarrassed This Princess. "
After leaving the grand hall, Luo Huo 'er pouted her lips and said unhappily.
Yi Yun was rendered speechless. What the heck was this? She was the one who wanted to lie, and he was only speaking the truth.
"I'm telling you, I can forget about the relic explosion, but if that matter gets out, This Princess will strangle you to death …" When Luo Huo 'er said this, her face turned red. "Do you know what I'm talking about?"
Luo Huo 'er was too embarrassed to speak, but Yi Yun had guessed it. He wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He tried his best to put on a serious expression and said, "I know what you are talking about. I won't say it."
"You still want to laugh!?" It was unknown how Luo Huo 'er could tell, but she exploded.
Yi Yun looked aggrieved. In all honesty, the corners of his mouth did not even twitch. How could Luo Huo 'er be so sure that he wanted to laugh?
"This Princess is warning you. That matter is not to be mentioned to anyone. Quickly forget about it! You have taken such a huge advantage, yet you are still laughing. You are infuriating This Princess. "Luo Huo 'er said angrily.
"I'm not laughing …" Yi Yun protested. He really did not laugh.
"You want to laugh in your heart, so it counts as you laughing."
Luo Huo 'er said with extreme certainty, as though she could see through him.
"…"
Yi Yun was rendered speechless. He knew that he could not outtalk Luo Huo 'er, so he could only change the topic, "Princess Purple Spirit, I want to ask …"
"Stop. Just call me Luo Huo 'er, or Huo' er will do. It's so awkward."
"Uh … Alright, Huo 'er. Previously, Her Majesty Mysterious Empress said that you were going to the White Fox Clan to undergo a trial. Furthermore, Her Majesty Mysterious Empress didn't seem too satisfied with this arrangement. Why is that?"
Yi Yun's question infuriated Luo Huo 'er. She ground her canine teeth and said angrily, "It's all that old hag Empress Luo's idea. She wants her son to marry Princess White Fox. By marrying Princess White Fox, Crimson Firmament's status will be even higher. I don't know what the White Fox Clan is thinking, but they actually agreed! "
"However, although the White Fox clan agreed readily on the surface, how could they be at ease with their clan's princess undergoing trials in my Luo clan? Hence, they suggested for me to go to the White Fox clan. With this exchange of trials, they would naturally be at ease!"
"According to Mother, this Empress Luo has another motive. Not only does she want Crimson Firmament to marry Princess White Fox, she also wants This Princess to be fancied by some sly man in the White Fox clan. When the time comes, she will marry me to the White Fox clan. If I were to marry away, I would naturally not be qualified to vie with Crimson Firmament for the throne!"
Yi Yun widened his eyes when he heard this. There were so many motives behind this.
"Then His Majesty, Emperor Luo, agreed just like that?"
"That's right, Father has agreed to it. My Luo clan has suffered a great loss, so we do need some allies. However, it would be too naive to think of marrying This Princess over. Those foxy men are more effeminate than the other, so I don't fancy them. If I were unwilling, Father would not force me!"
Yi Yun nodded. However, if the White Fox clan really had a prince who could inherit the throne and pursue Luo Huo 'er, Emperor Luo would probably hesitate …
If Crimson Firmament married Princess White Fox, and Luo Huo 'er married the new White Fox Emperor, the alliance between the two clans would truly be unbreakable.
As for the Luo clan's greatest enemy, the Fey Phantasm Sect that came from the Sinkhole and had attacked the Luo clan's royal capital a few decades ago, it would no longer be something to be afraid of.
Yi Yun was a little worried for Luo Huo 'er. When it came to the continuation of the clan, a father's love might not be able to surpass the mission of an emperor. If not, he would not be a qualified emperor. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Luo Huo' er succeeded in her resistance, her standing in Emperor Luo's heart would be greatly reduced because of this matter. It would be impossible for her to become the new Emperor Luo.
The move that Empress Luo had arranged seemed simple, but it was actually very fatal. This was probably the reason for Empress Xuan's ugly expression.
As Yi Yun was thinking, Luo Huo 'er's words nearly made him fall to the ground.
Luo Huo 'er said, "I say, Little Yun, when you are at the Luo Divine Hall trials, go and woo that little white fox. If you were to snatch Crimson Firmament's wife-to-be, that would be fun. Hehe."
"What nonsense are you saying?" Yi Yun was rendered speechless. "I already have a wife."
"Oh? You are married? But that's nothing. In the Fey race, it's not strange for experts to have multiple wives and concubines. "
Luo Huo 'er said without a care. Yi Yun stared at her and could not be bothered to say another word. However, on further thought, if someone were to really snatch Princess White Fox away, Crimson Firmament would probably kill them. Not only was it the hatred of snatching his wife, it was also a threat to his throne.
"Tch, it's just a joke. Besides, you might not be able to woo her even if you were to woo her. That little white fox has very high standards. She might not fancy you. Hehe." Luo Huo 'er laughed when she said this. She did not want to miss the opportunity to strike at Yi Yun.
