Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 897 - 49: The Continent’s Top Magic User

Cousin-in-law?!

Yun Sheng scoffed inwardly, who cares, let whoever wants it take it.

Better to have a god-like enemy than a pig-like relative.

These women from Hou Qin, they talk about women being as capable as men, each one hitting the bullseye as if they’re invincible sharpshooters.

None of them truly understood the purpose behind Director Song’s rules.

It’s claimed to be an archery contest, but it’s really a battle of wits.

This Empress Qing is even more laughable; since the azalea banquet, she’s been completely at odds with me, yet now she brings up the "cousin-in-law" title.

Heh, if she’s truly surrendered, then she’s not the real Yun Sheng.

"Empress, I ask just one thing. If the one losing today were me, would anyone plead for me? If others humiliate me and I tolerate it, who would still regard Donghuang Sheng in the future? As the Princess Donghuang, I represent the Donghuang Dynasty. In Donghuang, gambling debts must be honored, and princes breaking the law face the same justice as commoners," Yun Sheng’s eyes turned cold, her words already determining the fate of Young Madam Qing.

At this moment, this plain-clothed woman shed her previous indifference like water, her delicate features radiant and peerless, sharp as a drawn sword, how could one describe such arrogance?

The ministers of Hou Qin, even Dugu Sheng and Empress Qing, couldn’t help but change their expressions.

The message was clear enough—pardoning Young Madam Qing was akin to insulting the Donghuang Dynasty.

The Donghuang Dynasty was in decline, yet it remained the continent’s only legitimate royal lineage.

Weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Qin Dugu Sheng waved his hand, and two guards dragged Young Madam Qing away.

"Husband, save me! Sister-in-law, save me! Empress Dowager—"

Young Madam Qing’s piercing cries echoed in Taiyang Palace.

The people of Qing Residence dared not speak, helplessly watching Young Madam Qing’s voice fade away, until it vanished completely.

"I am unwell and must take my leave."

Empress Qing rose with a drawn face, citing illness as an excuse to leave the banquet early.

Qing Meng looked lost, Qing Qiang’s eyes were red.

Only Dugu Xiu seemed to be in good spirits. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

After today’s contest, those who had underestimated Donghuang Sheng were all fearful and full of panic.

After the azalea banquet dispersed, Dugu Xiu stayed behind to discuss important matters with Director Song, while Yun Sheng and several others rode back to the Crown Prince Mansion.

Inside Taiyang Palace, the azaleas bloomed vividly.

In that field of herbs, another patch of vibrant crimson soil had appeared.

"Just now, thank you so much, Master," Dugu Sheng expressed his gratitude respectfully to Director Song.

Today’s azalea banquet had been arranged by Dugu Sheng in advance.

Knowing he had crippled Qing Meng’s right hand, he expected the Empress Dowager would seek revenge for Qing Residence.

He was the one who injured Qing Meng, but he knew his mother would certainly blame Yun Sheng, hence he had already invited Master Song to step in, to assist Yun Sheng in a critical moment.

Director Song was initially surprised.

Dugu Xiu had trained under him for years without ever asking for help, yet this time he sought assistance for a woman.

As a master, he couldn’t refuse his request, but he was indeed curious about what kind of woman could captivate Dugu Xiu’s genuine affection.

His first impression of Donghuang Sheng was that she was uncommon in appearance.

But that was merely appearance; beauty is fleeting.

The conversation that followed revealed Donghuang Sheng’s extraordinary qualities to Director Song.

This princess from the Eastern Capital was not only incredibly brave but also occasionally uttered astonishing words.

During the azalea banquet, Donghuang Sheng’s spectacular shot further astonished Director Song.

"Xiu’er, you’re thanking me for the wrong reason. The arrow competition today, I intended to help the Princess Donghuang, but ultimately, her arrow had nothing to do with me," Director Song’s usually expressionless face showed a rare hint of a smile.

Only when confronting his most prized disciple did he show such emotion.

"Master? Wasn’t the final arrow assisted by you?" From Director Song’s appearance in the medicine field to his mid-event role as judge, all were pre-arranged by Dugu Xiu and Director Song.

He even discussed with Director Song using fighting spirit to help Yun Sheng win at the end.

"Xiu’er, I watched you grow, knowing you even better than your parents. Tell me, what do you truly know about this Donghuang Sheng?" Director Song asked Dugu Xiu.

Dugu Xiu hesitated, "Master, disciple dares not hide. She’s not the Princess Donghuang; she’s Yun Sheng, granddaughter of Yun Bahe from the Great Zhou Yun Mansion."

"What? Xiu’er, you’re being foolish. Do you know how much turmoil Yun Sheng has caused across Wuji Continent," Director Song’s eyes changed upon hearing Yun Sheng’s name, as if facing a dire calamity.

Recently, the most upheaving affair on Wuji Continent was the turmoil within Great Zhou.

Emperor Beiming of Dazhou’s rebellion, the siege on Emperor Zhou Ye Chengtian.

Mountains and Rivers as Betrothal, swearing to marry Yun Sheng.

The continent had already defined Yun Sheng as a tempting beauty of calamity, one to overturn dynasties.

Since the sudden breakup, Yun Sheng hadn’t appeared on the continent.

Director Song never foresaw that the trouble-making Yun Sheng was hidden inside Post Qin Prince Residence.

This golden house concealing the beauty caught Director Song entirely off guard.

"Master, I like her. Five years ago, I already liked her; I... placed Soul Dreaming on her, she can never leave me. Furthermore, her Magic Power is trapped by my Kirin Fighting Spirit, so Ye Beiming won’t discover her in Hou Qin," Dugu Xiu knew this was unconventional, yet he did it without regret.

"You actually performed Soul Dreaming, too foolish. So she truly is Yun Sheng; no wonder her arrow technique was so cunning earlier. Follow me," Director Song sighed. He was once young too, deeply aware how love misleads.

Director Song led Dugu Xiu to the arrow target used for the contest.

As soon as the contest ended, Director Song ordered it removed, forbidding outsiders from inspecting it.

With ten fingers, Director Song applied pressure, tearing open the thick Beast Skin on the target.

"This is—!"

Dugu Xiu was astonished; inside the heavy target was completely shattered, one pinch and it crumbled.

"Not even I can discern what method Donghuang Sheng used, but Yun Sheng’s arrow exerted such force it shattered the entire target. Nonetheless, she kept its exterior unchanged. Such skill in controlling force, extraordinary. If she manipulates magic with such precision, then Donghuang Sheng could be considered the top continent magician in Wuji for thousands of years," Director Song spoke gravely.
