After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 174 Not My Race
People die for wealth, birds die for food; they sucked her flesh and blood clean, then mocked her incompetence.

A flash of coldness crossed Shi Nuanyu's eyes. "A Yuan, tell that woman to shut up."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy suddenly reached out and covered the lower half of her face, staring intently into her eyes.

Shi Nuanyu blinked and asked, "A-Ling, what's wrong?"

Hua Lingyan silently shook her head, picked up the peeled fruit, and fed it to her.

In that brief moment, she resembled her former self so much.

Two days later, the Wulin Alliance Grand Meeting arrived as scheduled.

The arena is divided by the principles of Yin and Yang. To the west is a bottomless cliff, while to the south is a three-story building in a semi-circle.

The martial arts arena was bustling with activity as sect leaders and disciples from various schools gathered together, and a constant stream of visitors came to watch.

Various ghosts, monsters, and serpents appeared, all wanting a share of the spoils.

Shi Nuanyu was seated in the main seat on the second floor, with a wide view and a clear view of the entire arena.

Hua Lingyan sat beside her, surrounded by guards.

She hadn't intended to make such a big fuss, but with so many martial arts practitioners attending, she was afraid of something going wrong.

Everyone in the world cherishes their life, and she was no exception.

The martial arts alliance leader and the heads of various sects served as referees in the first-floor arena, which was presided over by a martial arts alliance disciple.

Shi Nuanyu scanned the room but didn't see anyone familiar.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, a loud announcement echoed throughout the venue.

"The Crown Prince of Beilin has arrived."

"The Second Prince of Dongchen and Princess Fule have arrived."

Led by a Wulin Alliance attendant, a large group of people entered the venue.

"This humble subject pays respects to the Crown Prince of Beilin, the Second Prince of Dongchen, and Princess Fule."

The martial arts figures rose to pay their respects, their expressions varied, all speculating about what was so special about this grand competition that had attracted the princes and princesses of the three great nations.

Shi Nuanyu immediately spotted the tall, muscular Prince Yu Changfeng of Beilin, who stood out from the crowd.
He wore a golden crown and a black brocade robe with gold trim, exuding both elegance and a free and unrestrained spirit.

Shi Nuanyu's evaluation of him was: "A peacock spreading its tail feathers."

The gaze fell on the Second Prince of Dongchen, who was dressed in white, looking as elegant as an immortal, and holding a folding fan, exuding a refined and romantic air.

Whether he wanted to be gentle and refined or to indulge in pleasure, his attire was completely at odds with his lack of masculinity.

The last one is Princess Fule, who stands out from the crowd. Her warm-colored dress makes her little face look even more playful.

She followed timidly behind the Second Prince; it was unclear whether this was her nature since childhood or...

Stop, stop.

Shi Nuanyu shook her head to clear her mind of unnecessary thoughts. Since transmigrating to this era, she had always been prone to conspiracy theories.

Yu Changfeng seemed to be talking to a waiter, then walked straight toward her.

The second prince of Dongchen Kingdom seemed to sense something and nodded at her.

Shi Nuanyu nodded politely; she disliked this person from the first moment she saw him.

Moreover, in the original book, he coveted Tao Huiyan.

In fact, they are enemies.

"What are you thinking about so intently, my lady? I came to visit and you didn't even glance at me."

Yu Changfeng sat down to her right with an air of nonchalance, and casually picked up her teacup to drink.

“That’s my teacup. His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn’t pour himself a cup if he’s thirsty.”

Shi Nuanyu said lazily, "Also, don't refer to yourself as husband. We're not familiar enough to call ourselves husband and wife yet."

After Tao Huiyan was injured, they never saw each other again; to put it bluntly, they were just familiar strangers.

Yu Changfeng disagreed with her statement, "Your Highness is quite ruthless when it comes to hurtful words, it's a pity."

"Now that I've entered the Southern Moon royal family's jade tablet, it's difficult for Your Highness to deny it."

His gaze lingered on her face, but he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: it was truly hurtful. That day in the cave, they were deeply in love, and afterwards, she repeatedly applied medicine to him with affectionate eyes. But when they met again, her words were laced with barbs.

Different people have different fates; he has only himself to blame.

She got angry when she heard about the royal jade tablets. Did the original owner not think about the future when she put the jade tablets on them?
Although Yu Changfeng was a hostage at the time, her father and mother did not stop her from letting a prince from another country use the royal jade tablet of the Southern Moon Kingdom, and they indulged her in her nonsense.

Therefore, it's no wonder that the Southern Moon Kingdom was destroyed.

Shi Nuanyu glanced at him indifferently, "Beilin and Dongchen entered the country together. What are you planning? If I remember correctly, the Martial Alliance is located in Nanyue."

People from both countries swaggered into Nanyue, and even the Emperor and Empress Dowager made way for them.
Seeing that she had no eyes for him, Yu Changfeng smiled faintly, his narrow eyes casually tracing her eyebrows.

"Your Highness, you will have to pay a price to know."

He pointed to his thin lips.

Upon seeing this, Shi Nuanyu immediately moved away from him and leaned towards Hua Lingyan's side.

She took the boy's hand and shook him. "If you want to kiss someone, kiss Ah Ling. We're not close."

Hua Lingyan smiled, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling, and nodded emphatically in affirmation.

The two men locked eyes, their gazes blazing with fury, as if they were about to draw their swords at each other at any moment.

Undeterred by the failed kiss, Yu Changfeng looked away and reached out to intertwine his fingers with hers.

"Let me go." Shi Nuanyu was about to struggle to break free from his grasp.

Yu Changfeng gripped her hand even tighter, "If Your Highness allows me to hold your hand, I will tell you everything I know."

Remembering the message from his subordinate, he wanted to take up his sword and fight Qinghe.

They did that thing in just a few days after leaving the palace.

If he had known this would happen, he would have struck first.

Upon hearing this, Shi Nuanyu gave up struggling and cast a curious glance at her.

"You said."

Yu Changfeng, filled with remorse, pretended to be magnanimous and guided the others.

"Does Your Highness know why the Martial Alliance was allowed to survive to this day during the Three Kingdoms period?"

Shi Nuanyu pondered his words, and a flash of inspiration struck her as her thoughts raced.

"The strength of the Martial Alliance?"

The Three Kingdoms allowed the Martial Arts Alliance to develop, intending to fatten it up before devouring it.

"You're half right. The Martial Alliance is quite powerful, and eradicating it completely wouldn't be difficult, but there are many people in the martial arts world who could do so."

The martial arts manuals they possess are exquisite and unparalleled; if they were allowed to develop and acquire them, they could easily strengthen their power.

He took a sip of tea and continued, "The most important reason is that the Three Kingdoms made an agreement ten years ago, and the martial arts alliance competition ten years later will be the day to determine its ownership."

Under this agreement, the monarchs of the three kingdoms cannot interfere; however, younger members of the royal family are permitted to participate.

This means that the royal family can select the participants, and the methods and strategies involved are all included.

If that's the case, then the opponent we face today must be a fierce foe.

Shi Nuanyu was worried, but her expression remained unchanged.

There were many people around, so she had to maintain her royal dignity and not lose face in front of others.

Shi Nuanyu released their hands, stood up and walked to the railing, looking down at the people below, and slowly uttered a few words.

"The Martial Alliance must belong to Nan Yue. Within Nan Yue's territory, we will not tolerate the invasion of thieves."

The moment the word "thief" was uttered, the people of Dongchen Kingdom changed their expressions drastically.

Just as they were about to challenge him, the second prince of Dongchen Kingdom stopped his subordinates, opened his folding fan, and responded with a smile.

“I cannot agree with what Princess Nanyue said. Good things can be obtained by everyone. Wouldn’t it be boring if one family had to be the only one to have them?”

"is it?"

Shi Nuanyu glanced at him sideways, then arrogantly raised her chin.

"I only know that those who are not of my kind shall be killed."
