True Martial World - chapter-876
He knew very well that what Luo Huo’er said by “don’t disappoint me” had
a deeper meaning to it. And in fact, this bet was all a result of Luo
Huo’er’s playful mindset — she was essentially a young brat who craved
to see the world plunge into chaos.
“Huo’er, you are up to your wanton mischief again.” At this moment,
Empress Xuan’s Yuan Qi voice transmission rang. “Do you know what
thoughts Crimson Firmament will have if your bet were to come into
effect? Yi Yun will become the stye in his eye, a cause of pain he will
rid off.”
Despite hearing Empress Xuan’s words, Luo Huo’er said in a displeased
manner, “Yi Yun is already the stye in Crimson Firmament’s eye. Making it
a little larger would not make a difference. Furthermore, I’m also a stye
in Crimson Firmament’s eye.”
Empress Xuan did not speak further with Luo Huo’er’s retort. She only
shook her head because it was indeed without a doubt that Yi Yun was
already a stye in Crimson Firmament’s eye.
“Your Highness, are you pulling my leg?” Bai Yueqing’s smile faltered
slightly. Although Bai Yueqing did not believe that the White Fox clan
would lose to the Luo clan, Luo Huo’er’s words sounded rather harsh on
his ears.
“Letting Yi Yun accompany Princess White Fox on her travels?” Bai Yueqing
gave Yi Yun a look of disdain. “He is unqualified. This Prince would not
agree to this bet.”
Bai Yueqing believed that his regal bearing was already rather esteemed,
but at this point in time, he could no longer tolerate it. He felt that
Luo Huo’er was constantly teasing him; hence, he said those words. He no
longer concealed his belittlement of Yi Yun.
When Yi Yun heard this, he took a glance at Bai Yueqing. He saw in Bai
Yueqing’s eyes a feature only seen in wild beasts, a cold urge to kill.
In fact, he had sensed the white fox’s belittlement and animosity right
from the very beginning.
Yi Yun was also not someone to be messed with either. Having been
earmarked for attacks, he said, “The two of you are intending for me to
accompany Princess White Fox on her travels, but you have yet to ask for
my thoughts. I want to say that I don’t have any intentions traveling
with Princess White Fox, to begin with. The opportunity you think I’ll be
yearning for is actually worth nothing to me.”

Yi Yun’s final words were directed at Bai Yueqing.
Bai Yueqing was dumbfounded hearing this. Not only Bai Yueqing was
dumbfounded, even Luo Huo’er was dumbfounded for a moment before she
revealed a naughty smile.
“Nice going, Little Yun!” Luo Huo’er said with a voice transmission. What
Yi Yun said pleased her greatly.
“What did you just say?” Bai Yueqing’s face turned sullen. New flames of
killing intent began burning in his eyes as he looked at Yi Yun.
Seeing Bai Yueqing’s reaction, Yi Yun smiled and said, “It’s truly
interesting. Princess Purple Spirit wants me to accompany Princess White
Fox on her travels, and you say I’m unqualified and unworthy. I took the
initiative to mention that I do not want to travel with Princess White
Fox, but not only were you not happy about it, but you turned furious.
Could it be that in your mind, I should be pleading on my knees to be
able to accompany Princess White Fox on her travels, and you would kick
me away and curse me for being a toad that lusts over a swan’s meat?
Would you feel happy only when that happens?”
What Yi Yun said hit the nail on the head. Indeed, in Bai Yueqing’s
subconsciousness, it was only right for the White Fox royal family to
reject others, and not the other way round.
Bai Yueqing looked coldly at Yi Yun. If this was anywhere outside Fenghua
Palace, he would have killed Yi Yun.
“Whether Her Highness wishes to stay in the White Fox clan is her
freedom. By using a bet to force her to stay in the White Fox clan is
such a hopeless act!”
Yi Yun was unafraid of anything. He directly said those face-smacking
words out. Luo Huo’er and even Empress Xuan wanted to give their kudos to
Yi Yun.

Having been blindsided by Empress Luo, the machinations of Empress Luo
against her daughter, and how Emperor Luo was seemingly agreeing to the
marriage, how could Empress Xuan not be infuriated? She found Bai Yueqing
unpleasing to the eyes no matter how she looked at him. But now, with Yi
Yun throwing out those words, Empress Xuan was elated.
Of course, she could not speak her thoughts. Empress Xuan said with an
angry glare, “Yi Yun, how can you say such words? Prince Yueqing is a
guest of the Luo clan.”
Although it sounded like she was reprimanding Yi Yun, was there any
inkling of admonishment from her tone?
Bai Yueqing was incensed. With so many people present, his prestige as
prince had been torn apart. As for the bet, he no longer cared for it.
However, he never expected Luo Huo’er to suddenly say, “I can agree to
your bet. If the Luo clan loses, I will stay in the White Fox clan for a
year of travel, but if the Luo clan wins…”
Luo Huo’er came to a pause upon saying that, “I wish that you and I will
no longer have any correspondence in the future.”
This bet…
Yi Yun gave Luo Huo’er an odd glance. The bet had deeper implications.
After all, the White Fox clan had yet to propose any marriage alliance
with the Luo clan. If the Luo clan truly lost, with the bet in place, it
was unlikely for the White Fox clan to be shameless enough to propose a
marriage alliance.
“Alright!” Bai Yueqing spat out the word. “Then This Prince shall be
taking his leave. May Princess Purple Spirit prepare for her trip to the
White Fox clan in the coming days!”

After saying his words, Bai Yueqing did not stay behind a moment longer.
He led his servants and departed Fenghua Palace!
Upon seeing Bai Yueqing leave, Yi Yun smacked his lips and transmitted
his voice to Luo Huo’er. “Why are you so confident?”
“I’m not confident. Bai Yueqing isn’t a fool. For him to dare propose the
bet, he naturally has something backing him. So…all of this is on you,
Little Yun.”
Luo Huo’er said casually, rendering Yi Yun speechless. Luo Huo’er was
truly too bold.
“If it’s the Desolate Heaven technique, I might have some confidence, but
if it comes to martial arts, be it my foundation or physique, they are
far inferior from top geniuses.”
Yi Yun knew himself. The geniuses in the Luo clan royal capital were on a
completely different level than the Fire Cloud State’s.
After all, Yi Yun had just come to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven.
His potential had yet to been developed. In terms of foundation, he was
at a disadvantage.
“There’s no hurry. We can take a step at a time. The Luo Divine Hall
trials last for quite a period of time.” At this moment, Empress Xuan
spoke. She sighed slightly before saying, “Regardless of the case,
Empress Luo has made a good move. Even if Huo’er extricates herself from
Bai Yueqing’s marriage alliance, whenever Prince Crimson Firmament
succeeds in his marriage alliance with Princess White Fox, under the
threat of the Fey Phantasm Sect, His Majesty would still consider Prince
Crimson Firmament as his heir. Furthermore, if Huo’er were to inherit the
throne, her relationship with the new emperor of the White Fox clan might
not be cordial.”
Empress Xuan was filled with worries. Just this move allowed Crimson
Firmament to take another step closer to the throne.

“Maybe Crimson Firmament’s marriage alliance would fail?”
The corners of Luo Huo’er’s mouth curled up as she revealed her lustrous
canine teeth. Although she was disinterested in the throne, she did not
want to lose either, especially with Empress Luo machinating against her.
She wanted to win against her, and let that old witch weep!
…
News of Luo Huo’er and Bai Yueqing’s bet quickly proliferated.
The bet was obviously not concealed as it needed the notarization of the
public.
In fact, the announcement of the bet was entrusted to the maid servants
by Luo Huo’er. With her penchant for chaos to pervade the world, those
Fenghua Palace maidservants reproduced whatever they knew. It even
included the first bet Luo Huo’er proposed — “Letting Yi Yun accompany
Princess White Fox on her travels”, as well as Yi Yun’s subsequent
refusal.
With that, news spread quickly in the royal capital!
Everyone who heard the news was stupefied.

They were not surprised at the bet agreed upon by Luo Huo’er and Bai
Yueqing, but by what Yi Yun had said.
The status Princess White Fox enjoyed was heads and shoulders above the
cream of the crop. In the White Fox clan, her status was nearly
equivalent to Luo Huo’er’s!
But she had been ridiculed by Luo Huo’er and following that…rejected by
Yi Yun?
The opportunity to travel with Princess White Fox was worth nothing to Yi
Yun?
Yi Yun’s words were not only infuriating and surprising to members of the
White Fox clan, but also to members of the Luo clan. They were all
dumbfounded. Yi Yun was too good at posturing.
…
“Princess! Princess!”
In an elegantly adorned palace in the Luo clan royal capital, a petite
maidservant ran over. She had a pair of sharp white fox ears protruding
at the top of her head, and a bushy tail behind her. She was clearly a
girl from the White Fox clan, but she had yet to fully complete her human
manifestation.
“Princess, do you know what has happened outside? It’s completely
infuriating!” The maid servant said huffily as she ran.
