"My half-brother, by the sa father, is the Holy Monarch," Frans replied.
Zi Qi looked at him, feeling an inexplicable sense of hostility arise, "Holy Monarch, Holy Church, Holy War Committee, what is the purpose of your selecting the Holy Mother?"
Frans did not answer, his gaze drifting towards the stairs of the banquet hall.
Outshining others, this was sothing Sally had done countless tis before.
Even the most popular actresses had been trampled under her feet, vying for beauty and grasping all attention to herself, briefly basking in the vanity of glory, only to please the sight of one person.
This ti for the banquet welcoming the Holy Mother, she also wanted to dazzle, but as she was selecting her evening gown, she was struck by a sudden bout of panic and hunger...
Thinking about the motives of Yu Yan and Yin Zang.
She withdrew her hand from choosing a dress and resigned herself to 'join in the filth.' Wearing sothing too stunning would draw attention while eating; a low-key presence, a backdrop, would facilitate a comfortable al.
Eventually, she picked out an ordinary black backless trailing evening gown. Her white, silky-smooth hair, long unworn in black, was styled with bangs and the rest cascading down her back, barely covering her pale and moonlike beautiful back.
A refined makeup, nothing out of the ordinary, with violet pearls decorating her neck and ears, adding that crucial finishing touch.
High heels of the sa satin finish as her dress not only waterproofed her platform but also accentuated her long, slender legs and naturally straight posture, curving perfectly as if sculpted by a divine hand.
She held Yin Zang's arm with one hand and a beautifully crafted violet clutch in the other. Yu Yan was behind her, careful with the hem of her dress.
When the three descended the stairs, everyone looked their way.
Especially Yin Zang, his imperial charisma as the Beast Emperor of the Northern Region was dominating and awe-inspiring, truly a regal presence.
Sally's deanor was detached, and coupled with her flawlessly beautiful face, she exuded an enigmatic allure like that of the night, capturing everyone's gaze.
Yu Yan, however, was completely overshadowed by the two ahead of him.
But it didn't bother him at all; he was here to eat, and it was better not to be noticed.
Yin Zang said to Sally, "Zi Qi is standing by the window."
Sally imdiately looked over. He was also looking at her, his gaze burning like the midday sun, sharply focused on her hand entwined with Yin Zang's.
A man snatched away by another woman... Hmph! I have plenty of males at my disposal!
Deliberately lifting her skirt a little, a glimpse of skin, whiter and more flawless than porcelain, flashed by!
Suddenly, she felt even more gazes upon her, filled with various expressions, including one seething with rage as if wanting to set the entire banquet hall ablaze...
Sally looked up more proudly, gazing at Yin Zang with complete adoration and fascination, whispering, "I just saw the food area, and it looks delicious. Shall we go straight there?"
Mainly because the baby in her womb couldn't go hungry, and Xiaoi had already reminded her for the third ti to eat promptly.
She was truly frightened of starving the child one bit.
"Okay!" Yin Zang replied. He was even less interested in mingling, attending the banquet solely for the cuisine.
"What about you, Yu Yan?" Sally asked the person behind her.
To her surprise, she found he was looking in a certain direction.
Following his gaze, she saw a woman in a lavish royal court dress who was also looking at Yu Yan as if in disbelief.
Sally whispered to Yin Zang, "Well, looks like Yu Yan has bumped into an old acquaintance. Guess who she might be?"
Yin Zang instead said, "Never mind him for now, first look at yourself."
Of course, Sally knew Zi Qi was approaching her, with fire in his eyes, almost leaping out.
She squeezed Yin Zang's arm tightly, "Let's annoy him a bit more, hug my waist."
"Sally, have I tired of living?" Yin Zang objected.
Sally asked, "Do you want a single soldier missile?"
"What is a single soldier missile?"
"It's similar to a rocket launcher, but with guidance features, higher accuracy, and greater power."
Yin Zang moved his hand, covered with gentleman's gloves, to Sally's waist…
Zi Qi's expression suddenly grew extrely ugly, but upon noticing Yin Zang's pitiful, helpless gaze, he imdiately realized it was a ploy played by Sally and gradually cald down.
As he was about to continue moving towards her, he suddenly felt severe pain in his heart, as if sothing had tightened around it—taking another half step could potentially make it burst!
Restraint! Lin Xuexue had used her special privilege, ordering him to no longer approach Sally!
Sally had been watching his reactions all along and, seeing his face suddenly turn pale, with a flash of pain and struggle in his purple pupils, she imdiately sensed sothing was wrong and urgently wanted to go to him.
At that mont, Yu Yan suddenly intervened, stopping her and even pulling her back two steps.
Zi Qi's expression imdiately improved sowhat, as his gaze turned icy cold towards Lin Xuexue.
Lin Xuexue, wearing a smug look, scoffed in contempt and then entered the dance floor to dance with a male who was courting her favor.
And Sally understood—Lin Xuexue had forbade Zi Qi from approaching her.
What a venomous female!
Sally couldn't approach Zi Qi, but she could find Lin Xuexue.
"You take care of His Majesty," Sally said to Yu Yan, then tugged at Yin Zang, "Co with ."
Seeing her aggressive deanor, ready to eat soone alive, Yin Zang, even more excited than about food, eagerly agreed, "Okay."
When they reached the dance floor, Sally found Lin Xuexue, went up to her, grabbed her hair, and 'smack-smack,' very symtrically slapped her, adding so "makeup."
"Lin Xuexue, I'm warning you! Touch him again, and I will take your life!" After finishing her scolding, she pushed hard, trying to throw her to the ground.
But Lin Xuexue was of the Rabbit Clan, with good bodily reflexes; after stumbling a couple of tis, she managed to maintain her balance, narrowly avoiding the extre disgrace of falling to the ground.
She truly hadn't expected Sally to co up and hit her, completely throwing her off. The male who was with her finally reacted and imdiately started fighting with Yin Zang.
There was a prohibition in the Holy Church that disallowed the use of Innate Secret Techniques, so in terms of physical strength, Yin Zang, who was more warlike, naturally had the advantage. In just a few monts, he had knocked Lin Xuexue's male to the ground, unable to get up.
Lin Xuexue finally snapped out of it, glaring at Sally with bloodshot eyes, "Kneel down!"
This command seed aid at Sally, but it was actually directed at Zi Qi.
Zi Qi resolutely resisted.
Sally beca anxious, her anger rising rapidly, "Lin Xuexue, you're bringing about your own doom!"
"If I die, he'll be buried with ."
"Go ahead and die now; the Holy Mother would be mine, and I can still revive him." Sally was ready to go for broke.
As for Zi Qi, he was the Beast Emperor; dying standing up was acceptable, but living in humiliation was absolutely not. Since he was already bound by privilege, he might as well step out and rest.
[System alert, host: Lin Xuexue's actions have severely compromised your mother's health and the fetus's normal developnt. System will initiate forced protective intervention!]
Xiaoi's voice had barely finished when Lin Xuexue suddenly rolled her eyes back, fainted, and blood slowly oozed from her seven orifices.
The many guests in the banquet hall, who had been enjoying the spectacle, now started to panic, rushing to call for help.
Frans erged from the crowd, not even glancing at Lin Xuexue, he walked up to Sally first and asked, "Feeling better now?"
