I Am the Vengeful War God’s Beloved - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Representing The Cao Family

Chu Yunzhuo’s expression changed and turned serious.

At this moment, the royal palace of the Canglan Kingdom was already in chaos. The guards had not slept the entire night and almost flipped the entire palace upside down just to find the demonic beast that dared to blow up a few holes in the palace.

There was also a commotion outside the Canglan Kingdom. The people had also heard the explosions in the palace last night.

“So much demonic energy is surging. Could it be that the seal around the Abyss Realm has been broken?”

“If the Abyss Realm’s seal is broken, will we die?”

“Who knows? Those in the Abyss Realm committed all kinds of evil. How could they let us go… Back then, they should have completely eradicated the entire Abyss Realm, why did they seal it instead? Now, everyone’s on tenterhooks!”

“Stop speculating. The royal palace has issued an announcement!”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked at the notice posted by the guards. When they saw it clearly, they could not help but gasp. The woman in the portrait was very demonic. She was dressed in a black cloak and wore a black mask. Her exposed lips were delicate and beautiful, but red like blood.

It was obvious that the royal family had no idea what the culprit of the crime last night looked like. They could only circulate her masked appearance, hoping to find some clues.

The entire Canglan Kingdom was in an uproar because of this matter, but the culprit herself was lying comfortably in her room. When she heard the discussion outside, a smile appeared on her face.

Xiaoyao leaned on her and mumbled, “Master, you must bring me along next time!”

Thinking about it, it was such a pity. How could she not bring him along for such a fun excursion last night?

Tang Qin was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.

“Miss Xinrui, the Cao family has sent you new servants!” The guard who knocked on the door sounded even more attentive and flattering than before. After all, now that Cao Xinrui had awakened as a spirit cultivator, her status in the Cao family, and even in the Canglan Kingdom, would be different.

Tang Qin opened the door and saw a large group of people kneeling outside. However, these were not the servants of the royal family, but her servants, whom the Cao family had sent overnight.

Tang Qin did a rough count. There were more than two hundred maidservants here.

One had to know that there were only over two hundred maidservants serving the princess. Hence, the status of “Cao Xinrui” was now almost on par with the goddess Shi Xunmei.

The leading female maidservant handed over a white card.

“The state banquet is about to begin. The ancestors have said that they hope that Miss Xin Rui will represent the Cao family in the competition!”

With a smile on her face, Tang Qin took the card from her hands, and her eyes flashed with ridicule. “Go back and tell the ancestors not to worry. I will definitely make sure the Cao family shines at the competition!”

On the other side, Shi Xunmei, who had just received the news, smashed another cup! She angrily slapped the maidservant’s face. “Can you repeat that? The Cao family want Cao Xinrui to represent them? What about me? What am I?”

The maidservants all knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

“What’s going on?” As soon as Cao Zhihong came in, she saw Shi Xunmei, who was hitting the struggling maidservant. She comforted her, “The state banquet is about to begin. How can you be called a princess in your current state?”.

“Mother, why can’t I represent the Cao family now?” Shi Xunomei cried, looking aggrieved.

“This honor was mine in the past!”

Hearing this, Cao Zhihong’s expression turned cold. “Those old things in the Cao family are getting more and more dissatisfied with me after I gainedpower over the Canglan Kingdom! They probably feel that I’m no longer acting in the interests of the Cao family. Because the Cao family didn’t have a talented member of the younger generation who could shoulder the responsibility, all of the family’s resources could only be given to you. However, your surname is not Cao, so those old things must have been dissatisfied.”

“But now, the people think that I represent the Cao family and the entire Canglan Kingdom.”

“Now that things are like this, how am I supposed to face the public? I’m sure that someone will laugh at me!”

Shi Xunmei, who had been surrounded by all kinds of praises and sycophants since birth, could not tolerate even a little ridicule from others.

“Don’t worry. It was Cao Jiarong’s shortsightedness that caused him to find someone to replace you! Besides, your life spirit beast has been trained by me to be very obedient. When you appear, it will definitely shock people!”

Cao Zhihong’s eyes were filled with disdain for the Cao family. Then, she patted Shi Xunmei’s head lovingly. “When the time comes, the Cao family will regret not choosing you!”

Tang Qin was holding her invitation card, and was about to go to the state banquet.

A few maidservants from the Cao family immediately came out to greet her. “Miss Xinrui, the beast carriage is ready.”

As soon as they finished speaking, Tang Qin saw a few white horses with white wings on their backs and black crystal hooves neighing at her. The sound of their neighs was like the sound of spring water, making her feel relaxed and happy.
