Chapter 34

The Competition Before the Competition

“Queen, there seems to be something unusual on Spirit Mountain!” Yin Ling lowered her head and reported.

The queen’s eyes turned cold as she looked in the direction of Spirit Mountain. Indeed, she saw a violent spiritual energy fluctuation.

“Go and see what happened! We definitely can’t let that person out!” The queen’s expression became even uglier as she clenched her fists tightly.

Yin Ling received the order and turned to leave.

“Nothing can happen in the Spirit Beast Tournament tomorrow!” The Queen stared in the direction of Spirit Mountain and gritted her teeth. “No matter what, nothing can happen!”

…

“Mother, what do you think of my outfit today?” Wen Qiong looked even more heroic in her fiery red hunting clothes.

The queen looked at Wen Qiong and was relieved. “Qiong’er, you must perform well today and let those people know how powerful the princess is!”

Wen Qiong raised her chin and said proudly, “Of course! I was born with phoenix essence!”

“Today, I’ll let that little b*tch Li Ling witness the power of the phoenix essence!” Wen Qiong said proudly. Clearly, she was still angry that Li Ling had stolen her limelight the day before.

The queen sighed helplessly. You’re too impatient. Everything…”

Hearing that the queen was about to reprimand her, Wen Qiong immediately stopped her. “Mother, is it time? Let’s prepare to go to the Bestial Battle Arena!”

The queen knew that Wen Qiong didn’t want to hear her lecture. She shook her head helplessly. “Let’s go!”

“Welcome, Queen, welcome, Wen Qiong!” The protocol officer shouted loudly, and the various clans and sects who had already arrived stood up and bowed.

Wen Qiong’s gaze first lingered on Nie Yin for a moment before moving to Kong Rui.

Kong Rui naturally felt Wen Qiong’s gaze and looked back provocatively.

Wen Qiong was even angrier when she saw that Kong Rui had no respect for her.

However, she still acted like a princess. She raised her chin slightly and thought to herself, “Just wait and see! In a while, I will embarrass you in front of everyone!”

After the Queen and Wen Qiong sat down, the protocol officer immediately announced, “The Spirit Beast Tournament has officially begun!”

“First, let’s invite the Princess to perform the opening performance for everyone!” The protocol officer shouted.

Wen Qiong walked to the front of the rostrum amidst applause and cheers.

She raised her chin slightly and said loudly, “Every year, there will be one person in the opening performance. This year, I want to give everyone a different performance!”

“The princess is indeed different!” Some supporters below the stage cheered loudly.

Nie Yin frowned, not knowing what Wen Qiong was planning.

Fu Jiao held her chin with one hand and looked at Wen Qiong with disinterest.

Lei Aotian said happily, “That’s a good idea! I wonder what you plan to do?”

Wen Qiong looked at everyone and said again, “Everyone knows that I’ve awakened my natural phoenix essence and just hatched my phoenix.”

“Today, I’ll let everyone see the strength of the phoenix in battle!” Wen Qiong said loudly. “I want to choose a participant to compete with me!”

As soon as the princess said this, all the contestants present shrank their necks, afraid that they would be chosen.

Even Fu Jiao didn’t dare to make a sound.

The princess had the ancient divine beast phoenix as her battle spirit beast. Who could resist the combination of the phoenix essence and the ancient divine beast?!

“Sister Ling, we grew up together and have always liked to spar together. Why don’t you accompany me?!” Wen Qiong looked at Kong Rui happily.

Kong Rui knew Wen Qiong’s intentions long ago. She was waiting for this opportunity!

Kong Rui was about to get up when the Patriarch stopped her. “Wait!”

Wen Qiong’s expression turned ugly when she saw the Patriarch stop her.

It was not appropriate for the queen to appear at this moment, but she also stared at the Patriarch with a displeased expression.

The Li Clan’s Patriarch naturally knew that he had offended the Emperor and Queen.

However, it was not easy for the Li family to have a treasure with a ninth-level spiritual body. She couldn’t get injured now!

The Patriarch stood up and bowed to the Queen and Wen Qiong. “Queen, princess, please forgive me. Ling’er’s battle spirit beast isn’t comparable to the princess’s phoenix. Don’t let the princess and everyone down!”

Seeing that the Li Clan’s Patriarch was defending Kong Rui, the queen knew that any more forceful requests would only arouse suspicion.

She shook her head at Wen Qiong.

Wen Qiong was unwilling to give up this opportunity.
