He knew very well that when Luo Huo'er said "don't disappoint me", there was a hidden meaning in her words. And in fact, this bet was completely a result of Luo Huo'er's playful mentality. She was essentially a little lass who craved for the world to be in chaos.
"Huo'er, you are too willful." At this moment, Empress Xuan's Yuan Qi voice transmission resounded. "Do you know what Crimson Firmament will think if this bet takes effect? Yi Yun will become a thorn in his side."
Upon hearing Empress Xuan say this, Luo Huo'er did not care. "Now, Yi Yun is also a thorn in Crimson Firmament's side. It doesn't matter if he's a little more. Besides, I'm also a thorn in Crimson Firmament's side."
With Luo Huo'er saying this, Empress Xuan did not say another word. She only shook her head. Indeed, Yi Yun was already a thorn in Crimson Firmament's side.
"Your Highness, are you joking?" Bai Yueqing's smile faltered slightly. Although Bai Yueqing did not believe that the White Fox clan would lose to the Luo clan, these words still made Bai Yueqing unhappy.
"Let Yi Yun accompany Princess White Fox on her travels?" Bai Yueqing gave Yi Yun a disdainful glance. "He is not qualified. This King will not agree to this bet."
Bai Yueqing felt that his self-restraint was already very good, but at this moment, he could no longer tolerate it. He felt that Luo Huo'er was constantly teasing him. Hence, the words he said just now were filled with undisguised contempt for Yi Yun.
When Yi Yun heard this, he glanced at Bai Yueqing. He noticed that Bai Yueqing's eyes, which retained the characteristics of a beast, contained a trace of coldness and killing intent.
Actually, from the beginning, he could sense that the white fox was filled with contempt and animosity towards him.
Yi Yun was not a pushover either. Being targeted in such a manner, he said, "You want me to accompany Princess White Fox on her travels, but you have not asked for my opinion. I want to say that I have no intention of accompanying Princess White Fox on her travels. The opportunity that you think I'm fighting for might not even be worth a penny to me."
Yi Yun's last sentence was said to Bai Yueqing.
Bai Yueqing was stunned when he heard this. Not only was Bai Yueqing stunned, even Luo Huo'er was stunned momentarily.
"Well done, Little Yun!" Luo Huo'er transmitted her voice. She found Yi Yun's words rather delightful.
"What did you just say?" Bai Yueqing's expression immediately turned sullen. The way he looked at Yi Yun contained flickering killing intent.
Upon seeing Bai Yueqing's reaction, Yi Yun laughed. "How interesting. Princess Purple Spirit wants me to travel with Princess White Fox, but you say that I'm not qualified or worthy. I took the initiative to say that I do not want to travel with Princess White Fox. Not only are you unhappy, you even flew into a rage out of humiliation. Could it be that in your mind, I should be kneeling and begging to travel with Princess White Fox? And you would kick me away and scold me for being a toad lusting after swan meat. Only then would you be happy? "
Yi Yun's words hit the nail on the head. In Bai Yueqing's subconscious mind, it was true that only the White Fox clan's royal family could reject others, and there was no reason for the White Fox clan's royal family to be rejected.
Bai Yueqing looked coldly at Yi Yun. This was Fenghua Palace. If they were outside, he would have long killed Yi Yun.
"Whether Her Highness wishes to stay in the White Fox clan is her freedom. You want to use a bet to force Her Highness to stay in the White Fox clan. Such means are too unbecoming!"
Yi Yun was not afraid of anything. He directly said such face-smacking words. Even Empress Xuan wanted to praise Yi Yun, much less Luo Huo'er.
Previously, she had been made a fool of by Empress Luo to target her daughter. Seeing that Emperor Luo was likely to agree to the marriage, how could Empress Xuan not be angry? She found Bai Yueqing an eyesore no matter how she looked at him. But now, Yi Yun's words made Empress Xuan feel especially delighted!
Of course, she could not say it out loud. Empress Xuan said in a peeved manner, "Yi Yun, how can you say that? Prince Yueqing is a guest of the Luo clan."
Although it sounded like she was reprimanding Yi Yun, did Empress Xuan's tone have any hint of reprimand?
Bai Yueqing was infuriated. With so many people present, his dignity as a prince was being tarnished. As for the bet, he no longer had the mood to care about it.
However, he never expected that Luo Huo'er would suddenly say, "I agree to the bet. If the Luo clan loses, I will stay in the White Fox clan to travel for a year. But if the Luo clan wins …"
When Luo Huo'er said this, she paused. "Then I hope that you will not have any interactions with me in the future."
This bet …
Yi Yun gave Luo Huo'er a surprised glance. The contents of the bet were indeed more meaningful. Since the White Fox clan and the Luo clan had yet to form a marriage alliance, if the White Fox clan were to lose, the White Fox clan would not have the face to propose a marriage alliance due to the bet.
"Alright!" Bai Yueqing said through gritted teeth. "Then This King shall bid farewell. Princess Purple Spirit, please set off for the White Fox clan in the next few days!"
After Bai Yueqing said that, he did not stay any longer. He left Fenghua Palace with his entourage!
Seeing Bai Yueqing leave, Yi Yun smacked his lips and transmitted his voice to Luo Huo'er, "Are you that confident?"
"I don't have much confidence. Bai Yueqing isn't a fool. For him to dare say that, he definitely has something to rely on. So … it's all up to you this time, Little Yun."
Luo Huo'er said it casually. Yi Yun was rendered speechless when he heard this. Luo Huo'er was too ambitious.
"If it was the Desolate Heaven technique, I would be confident. But in terms of martial arts, be it my foundation or body, I am much weaker than those top geniuses."
Yi Yun was not blindly arrogant. The Luo clan's royal capital geniuses were not on the same level as the Fire Cloud State's geniuses.
After all, Yi Yun had just arrived in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. His potential had yet to be excavated, so he was at a disadvantage when it came to his foundation.
"There's no rush. Let's take it slow. The Luo Divine Hall trials will last for a very long time." At this moment, Empress Xuan spoke. She sighed and said, "Regardless, Empress Luo has made a good move. Even if Huo'er extricates yourself from the marriage alliance with Bai Yueqing, if the marriage alliance between Prince Crimson Firmament and Princess White Fox succeeds, His Majesty will likely prioritize Prince Crimson Firmament as the successor under the threat of the Fey Phantasm Sect. Especially if Huo'er were to inherit the throne, you might not have a harmonious relationship with the new White Fox clan Emperor."
Empress Xuan was worried. This move had brought Crimson Firmament one step closer to the throne.
"What if Crimson Firmament's marriage alliance fails?"
The corners of Luo Huo'er's mouth curled up, revealing a pair of crystalline canine teeth. Although she was not interested in the throne, she did not want to lose, especially with Empress Luo scheming against her.
If she wanted to win, she would let that old witch cry!
...
News of Luo Huo'er and Bai Yueqing's bet quickly spread.
The bet was naturally not concealed. It needed to be notarized by everyone.
In fact, the matter of announcing the bet was done by Luo Huo'er's maidservants. With her desire to see the world plunged into chaos, these Fenghua Palace maidservants revealed everything they knew. It included the first bet that Luo Huo'er had proposed — "let Yi Yun accompany Princess White Fox on her travels", as well as Yi Yun's rejection later on.
With that, the news spread rapidly in the royal capital!
Everyone who heard the news was stunned.
They were not shocked by the bet between Luo Huo'er and Bai Yueqing, but by Yi Yun's words.
What sort of figure was Princess White Fox? She was an elite amongst elite women. Her status in the White Fox clan was nearly equal to Luo Huo'er's!
However, she was ridiculed by Luo Huo'er, and then … rejected by Yi Yun?
The opportunity to travel with Princess White Fox was worthless to Yi Yun?
Yi Yun's words were not only shocking and infuriating to the members of the White Fox clan, even the people from the Luo clan were dumbfounded when they heard it. Yi Yun was too posturing.
...
"Princess! Princess! "
In an elegantly decorated palace in the Luo clan royal capital, a petite maidservant ran over angrily. This maidservant had a pair of white fox ears and a furry tail behind her. Clearly, she was a girl from the White Fox clan, and she had yet to fully transform.
"Princess, do you know what has happened outside? It's too infuriating! "
