The Phoenix Arises

Chapter 30.1: A Challenge

Duanmu Qing gave Si Yun Han a cold glance, and then stood up to raise her wine cup towards Xuanyuan Mo.

“Young Master Xuanyuan, let this Heir here make you a toast.”

Everyone else was watching them in confusion. [What is wrong with that couple? One has been bestowed with marriage by decree and was trying to cozy up to the Crown Princess. The other one has already snatched the first man and is now trying to snatch up a second one. Really just too shameless.]

Duanmu Xue became angry in that instant and immediately wanted to raise her voice to admonish Duanmu Qing, but was held back by Huangfu Che.

Huangfu Che had seen the interaction down below and his lips curled up slightly with a smile.

[That kid there is not someone that girl can possibly dream of winning. How naive.]

Xuanyuan Mo knitted up his brows and looked at Duanmu Qing with contempt, his amber eyes filled with nothing but disdain.

“Snowy, I am feeling a little giddy. Let’s go back to the Eastern Palace.”

She did not feel like wasting anymore of her breath on Duanmu Qing and she feared that she would not be able to hold herself back from splitting her apart with a single strike.

“Little Xi, are you alright?”

Hearing that Duanmu Xi was feeling giddy, Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes immediately looked rather anxious.

Seeing how concerned Xuanyuan Mo was towards Duanmu Xi, Duanmu Qing’s face quickly turned dark.

“Your Highness Crown Princess, why does this mean?”

Duanmu Xi could not be bothered with her and was just going to leave with Xuanyuan Mo.

Duanmu Qing was immediately infuriated when she was ignored by Duanmu Xi.

[Damn her. Why does that useless good for nothing always vie with her in everything?]

“Duanmu Xi, I want to issue a challenge to you, and the loser cannot continue to pester Young Master Xuanyuan anymore.”

Duanmu Xi’s violet eyes narrowed. [Challenge me? Are you seeking your own death? She really thinks I’m powerless against her?]

The moment Duanmu Qing’s words came out, it immediately caused a wave of uproar.

[Heir Ching wants to challenge Her Highness the Crown Princess. Doesn’t she know that Her Highness the Crown Princess is unable to practice martial arts?]

[And what kind of a ridiculous stake was that? What does she mean by not pestering Young Master Xuanyuan! ? She already has a primary spouse! On what basis is she making such a challenge?]

Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che were overcome with rage.

[For Duanmu Qing to challenge Little Xi like that, that was just too despicable! She clearly knows that Little Xi is unable to fight and she still went ahead to challenge Little Xi! Isn’t it obvious that she just wants to humiliate Little Xi?]

Xuanyuan Mo’s face turned dark as thunder, murder rising in his eyes.

[What does that woman think he is? She dares to use him as a stake in a challenge. She is truly courting her own death.]

Just as the atmosphere in the banquet hall was growing heavier and heavier, Duanmu Xi opened her mouth to speak. “Snowy is mine. You will only come to taint and dirty Snowy’s purity.”

Hearing Duanmu Xi’s words, everyone turned to look at Duanmu Qing with stifled laughter.
