1819 Empty-Handed (1/2)
Immediately, someone brought a chair to Chen Xiaobei.
Once he was seated, Chen Xiaobei said, ”Hurry! Bring Princess Puti out! I can guarantee that she will be moved by my betrothal gift!”
Helian Tulong hissed, ”Your skin is so thick! You want to move Princess Puti's heart? Haha! You're building castles in the skies!”
Feng Chongwu and Yun Changxiao sniggered. ”We've spent a lot of our factions' resources, and have brought extremely valuable betrothal gifts! You won't be able to compete with us!”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. ”The three of you better talk a little lesser. The more you talk, the more painful your face will be when Princess Puti comes!”
”Pretentious idiot!” Helian Tulonng gave Chen Xiaobei the stink eye. ”Let's have Princess Puti come out now! It's time to shake you off of your daydream!”
Helian Tulong was so self-assured because he was the default fuma-to-be.
No matter how valuable Chen Xiaobei's gifts were, Luo Puti was still going to choose the preordained candidate – Helian Tulong.
Feng Chongwu and Yun Changxiao were unaware of this fact. ”Yeah! Let's get the princess out! Let her make the final decision!”
”Guards! Bring the princess!” Luo Qiongcang instructed. Then he turned to the four candidates. ”Please take out your gifts. The officials and I will assess them!”
”Me first!” Feng Chongwu stepped forward with a green longsword in his hand. ”This sword is called 'Green Bamboo'. It's my sifu's one and only One-star Earth-God Instrument. My sifu nearly lost his life to get his hands on this instrument. It is a very significant piece!”
The crowd began to discuss amongst themselves in excitement.
”My God! That… That is indeed the legendary Green Bamboo Sword! I've heard of it before but today, I finally have the opportunity to see it in the flesh!”
”Good sword! Very good! Its Spirituality is very strong! It's one of the highest grades of One-star Earth-God Instruments!”
”Childe Chongwu has really put in a lot of effort to marry the princess!”
...
”That's nothing!” Yun Changxiao stood up, holding an ancient gold mirror. ”This mirror is called the Sunlit Mirror! It's also a One-star Earth-God Instrument! My sifu spent all the wealth he'd accumulated over the years just to get this mirror!”
All the attentions were steered towards the mirror in Yun Changxiao's hand.
”My god! Sunlit Mirror! That's the Sunlit Mirror handed down from the Earth-God Realm! Who knew it would show up here today!”
”The Sunlit Mirror is also one of the highest grade One-star Earth-God Instrument! What a generous gift!”
”Yeah! Here in Saint Duke, we only have seven One-star Earth-God Instruments! These two gentlemen brought one each! This just shows how sincere they are!”
The officials and the royal family members exclaimed in their excitement.
The kingdom of Saint Duke only possessed seven One-star Earth-God Instruments. If they did receive another one, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!”
The people of Saint Duke found it hard to tear their gaze away from both Earth-God Instruments.
