Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 550: Lowered IQ

After the great martial arts competition last time, this Deity’s Servant Girl had almost lost her position due to her lackluster performance. After that, without knowing what method she used, she somehow managed to keep her position of Deity’s Servant Girl.

Seeing Ling Chuxi, a trace of hatred flashed across E Shulan’s eyes. However, she very quickly covered it up by acting harmless as she smiled and nodded in greeting at Ling Chuxi.

Ling Chuxi naturally did not miss out the flash of hatred in E Shulan’s eyes, but responded as though she did with a pure smile. A dog who bites doesn’t bark. This was what Ling Chuxi had taught the fifth princess, so she naturally had to act as a role model for her own advice. Ah, ptui ptui ptui. How could she accidentally lower herself to be on the same level as the fifth princess? Indeed, spending time with a stupid bird for too long will lower one’s IQ. In the future she had to stay far, far away from that stupid bird. It was a necessity!

Seeing the other man behind Feng Zitian, Ling Chuxi was slightly shocked. Was this not the fifth prince of Ding Lin Country, Si Nanchen? Why was he here as well? Compared to how he was a few days back, Fifth Highness’ behavior was much more restrained currently as he trailed behind Feng Zitian like a mindless follower with a solemn gaze.

Seeing Ling Chuxi, Si Nanchen’s anger could not be hidden as he gnashed his teeth till grinding sounds could be heard.

‘Wow, Fifth Highness is here as well? He’s so lacking in restraint, not even comparable to E Shulan,’ criticized Ling Chuxi secretly in her heart.

Ling Chuxi herself was indeed someone who often spoke and thought without putting herself in other’s shoes. No matter who it was, if someone were to be poisoned for no reason at all, and then had to submerge oneself in ice water for a few hours till one was a frozen zombie, and then was even forced to contend with false accusations over having a hidden disease and thus had to face a compromising future as a result, it could be reckoned that that one would be unable to show restraint over one’s anger at the person responsible for such a series of unfortunate events.

‘How come these people are here together?’ Ling Chuxi could not help but feel a little perplexed. Deity Temple, Wu Feng Hall, and a Ding Lin Country royal. Which one of them wasn’t a wolf with a wildly ambitious heart? To have these few people gathering together in Nan Xia Country, it was only fearful that it would not be for anything good.

“Nanchen, do you all know each other?” asked Feng Zitian when he noticed Si Nanchen’s fierce gaze.

“Elder Brother Feng, this is Ling Chuxi, the champion in the vassal country great assessment competition who won in one fell swoop, also known as the number one amongst the younger generation across all countries,” answered Si Nanchen with words hidden within his words. The first strike was saying Ling Chuxi was the number one person who had become famous through the great assessment competition in one fell swoop, and the second was by saying that she was the number one expert of the younger generation who was silently acknowledged by many reclusive experts across all countries. Who could ever really be worthy of such a hefty description?

After hearing Si Nanchen’s words, sure enough, Feng Zitian frowned. Everyone had their own pride after all, and he was no exception. The so called “deeply hidden and unrevealed to other people” persona he curated was indeed fake. However, faking was faking, and he was doing just that in calling himself low profile. If someone’s good reputation was pressed upon his head as such, he actually also felt uncomfortable by it.

“Fifth Highness, have you recovered well from your sickness? I actually forgot to tell you that if you ignored the symptoms for an hour, you will be well. There is actually no need to be immersed in ice water for a couple of hours,” said Ling Chuxi with a smile as she twisted a verbal knife into him. She could naturally hear the instigating intent behind his words earlier.

Si Nanchen’s face fell and all he felt was that his heart was stuffed, so stuffed that he wanted to vomit blood. It turns out that after an hour he would have naturally been all right. To think that he had submerged himself in ice water for a full six hours as he was told to, and since he was worried that the poison would not be full expelled even then, he had purposely remained an extra two hours in the bath. The coldness of that bath was one that could make his entire body shudder even when recalling it now.

“What sickness?” asked Feng Zitian as he looked at Si Nanchen with a weird gaze. To his knowledge, this fifth prince did not seem to have any kind of sicknesses. Could it be that he had gotten sick after arriving in Nan Xia Country because he was unaccustomed to it?

“It’s nothing. Miss Ling was just joking with me.” Si Nanchen was too embarrassed to tell of how he had fallen to Ling Chuxi’s sinister trick right after arriving in Nan Xia Country, so he acted like nothing untoward had happened instead. It was just that seeing the look in Ling Chuxi’s eyes that looked like it contained a smile yet did not contain a smile, he really wanted to vomit three liters of blood.

Feng Zitian saw that Si Nanchen was not willing to say more on the matter and therefore did not continue to ask about it.
