Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

The group continued reading, and the last book to be projected onto the large screen was Qin Huanyu's.

"you……!"

However, after watching for only a short while, some people couldn't stand it anymore.

It was Wang Ruoxi. Her face was flushed, and she stood up, pointing at Qin Huanyu and glaring angrily.

"You are utterly shameless! Shameless! Blasphemous! How could you write such a thing and show it to Her Highness the princess? It's an eyesore!"

"Why not?"

Qin Huanyu remained completely calm and composed, without showing any anger.

"Didn't yesterday's song and dance competition make you understand? Whether these two rounds of events have any artistic merit is no longer important. What matters is that Her Highness likes them... I think Her Highness will like them very much."

"Your Highness, look at her... uh."

Wang Ruoxi immediately wanted to complain, but she was stunned when she saw Wu Xiqun's appearance. It was like punching cotton with all her might, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Wu Xiqun showed no aversion to Qin Huanyu's novel; on the contrary, she read it with great interest, her eyes shining, and she would occasionally lick her lips and cross her legs.

'No! I cannot let His Highness fall into such a depravity!'

Wang Ruoxi clenched her fist and looked at the Empress, intending to file a complaint against someone above her level.

Surprisingly, the Empress showed no anger at all. Although she didn't watch with the same fascination as the Princess, her eyes occasionally flashed with memories, as if she was reminiscing about her beautiful youth.

Wang Ruoxi felt even more helpless and looked at the others.

It was noticed that, apart from Yi Youyou occasionally glaring angrily at Qin Huanyu, everyone else was very interested in the novel on the big screen. Nangong Yue even took out her notebook and jotted down a few sentences every now and then. Several palace maids with less self-control had watery eyes and could barely stand.

Spicy! The future art of the Holy Zhou Kingdom is going to be spicy!

Wang Ruoxi sat down again, looking somewhat lost, and stopped talking.

Qin Huanyu actually has little talent in literature and art; she really can't write novels. If the competition were conducted in a normal manner, she would most likely be last place.

But it doesn't matter, Qin Huanyu has a killer move.

The transmigrator who was eaten at the age of 4 had a brain full of yellow waste material, but this time it finally had a chance to shine.

Qin Huanyu wrote a novel with explicit sexual content, and it was quite erotic.

There is no main plot at all. It's just that the princess meets the female protagonist while traveling. The two, who are both attracted to each other's looks, fall in love with each other's appearance and start having sex as soon as they meet.

The entire novel is less than 70,000 words long and contains eight intense sex scenes. Each scene features different settings, costumes, positions, and techniques, but all are very explicit and well-described, giving the reader a sense of immersion. They are perfect as a side dish for when you're having sex.

Anyway, the palace maids with the weakest willpower among everyone present had to hug each other and support each other after reading Qin Huanyu's novel so that their legs wouldn't give way and they would fall to the ground.

"Ugh... I need to go to the restroom first. We'll discuss the rating when I get back."

Even Wu Xiqun, after watching it, looked on with a lingering sense of satisfaction. She tried to hold back for a while but couldn't resist, and ran out of the side hall with her legs clamped together.

Almost half an hour later, Wu Xiqun returned from the bathroom, wearing a completely new set of clothes, and looking refreshed and satisfied.

She seemed to have already figured out how to grade the students, and the results were announced not long after she returned.

Wang Ruoxi 9 points, Nangong Yue 10 points, Qin Huanyu 10 points, Yi Youyou 8 points, Yuan Tingxue 8 points.

When the results were announced, Wu Xiqun also gave her reasons for scoring her.

Wang Ruoxi's literary skills are undoubtedly the highest among all the participants, but the artsy love story is really outdated, and the classical Chinese text is too difficult to read, which are all detrimental factors, resulting in a final score of only 9 points.

Yuan Tingxue's cultivation romance novel was quite captivating until the very end, and could have easily earned a 9 out of 10 like Wang Ruoxi's. However, the ending, where both protagonists die from lightning tribulations, was simply too cheesy, and Wu Xiqun found it unacceptable, so points were deducted, ultimately resulting in only an 8 out of 10.

Yi Youyou's novel is also quite good, but it's a bit off-topic. The princess in the book is not based on Wu Xiqun at all, so it should have a very low score.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Wu Xiqun suddenly felt that this feeling was also quite good, vaguely resembling the happiness of a minotaur... so she changed the original plan to give Yi Youyou a score of 6 to 8.

As for Nangong Yue and Qin Huanyu's two perfect scores...

Wu Xiqun, on the other hand, didn't even bother acting anymore, stating frankly that she just loved watching Shuang and Se Se. No matter how well the two books themselves scored in terms of literary merit, they were all perfect in her eyes!

Therefore, the final scores and rankings for the third major category in the princess selection process are as follows:

王若曦38分（10+10+9+9）

秦环玉32分（7+7+8+10）

南宫玥30分（6+5+9+10）

袁婷雪28分（7+8+5+8）

易幽幽27分（7+7+5+8）

According to the competition rules, the total points of the participants were adjusted based on their rankings.

Wang Ruoxi, who ranked first, received 5 points; Qin Huanyu, who ranked second, received 3 points; Nangong Yue, who ranked third, received 2 points; Yuan Tingxue, who ranked fourth, received 1 point; and Yi Youyou, who ranked fifth, received 0 points.

After the three major projects concluded, the overall ranking of the participants was as follows:

Nangong Yue 8 points, Wang Ruoxi 8 points, Yuan Tingxue 6 points, Qin Huanyu 6 points, Yi Youyou 4 points.

It seems that Nangong Yue has a significant advantage; she is currently tied for first place, while Wang Ruoxi's strongest event has ended, and her ranking will only continue to decline.

However, Qin Huanyu knew very well that it was not time to be optimistic yet; the next battle was the most important thing.

Because Nangong Yue's individual combat strength is really not strong, he doesn't even have a 100% chance of winning against Wang Ruoxi. He's at the level of securing a top 5 finish and striving for a top 4 finish.

Yuan Tingxue is the most popular candidate to win the combat event. If she wins the combat event and Nangong Yue comes in last, the overall ranking will be reversed instantly.

Yi Youyou is meant to help Yuan Tingxue win, so she definitely won't try to beat Yuan Tingxue herself. The only person who can stop Yuan Tingxue from winning the combat event is Qin Huanyu.

Chapter 167 I'm willing to do anything

After the third major event of the princess selection competition was completed, the Queen personally explained the fourth major event to all the candidates.

The fourth major project is a battle, which will take place tomorrow, and the location will no longer be inside the palace, but in the Mangling Mountains in the north of the capital.

The competition is one-on-one, with 5 people fighting in pairs, for a total of 10 battles, starting with the person currently ranked first in total points.

Match 1: Nangong Yue vs. Wang Ruoxi.

Second match: Nangong Yue vs. Yuan Tingxue.

Third layer: Nangong Yue versus Qin Huanyu.

Fourth match: Nangong Yue vs. Yi Youyou.

Match 5: Wang Ruoxi vs. Yuan Tingxue.

Match 6: Wang Ruoxi vs. Qin Huanyu.

Seventh floor: Wang Ruoxi to Yi Youyou.

Match 8: Yuan Tingxue vs. Qin Huanyu.

Match 9: Yuan Tingxue vs. Yi Youyou.

Scene 10: Qin Huanyu versus Yi Youyou.

Each person will play one match against each of the other four people, and the ranking will be determined by the number of wins at the end. If two people have the same number of wins, their head-to-head record will be used to determine the ranking.

The battles were not fought one-on-one in the arena; the competition venue was very large and was once a place where the nobles of the capital city would go on spring outings and hunts.

On the map, it is an irregular polygonal woodland with varying tree density. In the sparsest areas, horses can gallop freely, while in the densest areas, even pedestrians struggle to pass. The diameter of the largest inscribed circle from the center to the edge of the woodland is a little over 1600 meters, and the furthest distance between the southwest and northeast parts of the woodland exceeds 2300 meters.

The battle is divided into two sides: the first to attack and the second to attack. The first to attack can enter the arena one hour in advance and use this hour to hide, set traps, or arrange the battle area in their favor.

When the attacking side enters the arena, they receive a small radar that can precisely pinpoint the location of the attacking side. If the attacking side lacks detection capabilities, the attacking side can completely seize the initiative in the battle using this small radar.

The way to decide who attacks first is by guessing heads or tails with a coin toss. The coin is tossed by the princess herself, and whoever guesses correctly can choose to attack first or second.

There are two ways to determine the outcome of a battle: one is for one side to voluntarily admit defeat, and the other is for one side to lose the ability to fight.

The battle itself is unrestricted; any move can be used, and both sides can fight freely with the intention of killing each other.

Top-tier experts will be watching during the competition to prevent any potential fatalities. Furthermore, the royal physician, Linglan, will be there to revive anyone who isn't truly dead.

In addition, there will be a lot of spectators at this competition, the vast majority of whom are extraordinary individuals from the 404 Investigation Bureau and the Treasure Pavilion, as well as martial arts figures who are ostensibly free but have close ties with the royal family.

. . . . .

After a day of rest and adjustment, the fourth major event of the Princess Consort Selection Competition officially began.

On a small mountain peak in Mangling, north of the capital, the royal family had set up a viewing platform long ago.

This spot offers a commanding view of the entire stadium, and those who are able can even watch the game from the edge of the cliff.

Even those without the means to watch can enjoy the live stream. Numerous drones are deployed above the arena to ensure that no exciting detail of the match is missed.

Qin Huanyu saw many familiar faces among the audience.

Lu Meng, Ling, and all the inspectors they had met at the Investigation Bureau headquarters came, along with many investigators, such as Bai Ling who came with Linglan, and Yuan Baixue who came to watch her sister's competition.

"You absolutely must give my sister a good beating!"

Yuan Baixue was still dressed in her shrine maiden attire. Upon seeing Qin Huanyu, she bowed very earnestly, making the slit at the neckline of her shrine maiden attire almost horizontal.

"Uh……"

Qin Huanyu's expression was strange:

"Weren't you here to cheer on your sister?"

She knew the Yuan sisters seemed to have a bad relationship, but it shouldn't be this bad, right?

How could I possibly cheer her on?

Yuan Baixue immediately gritted her teeth, her beautiful face contorted in anger:

"That bastard has always bullied me since I was a child... The reason I ran away from home to cultivate in Yingzhou was not only because of my differing family beliefs, but also to escape her clutches! Don't be fooled by her seemingly simple-minded appearance and her apparent focus on cultivation; she's actually incredibly ruthless!"

After gritting her teeth a few times, Yuan Baixue gave a bitter smile and sighed:

"I came here today because I wanted to see her get beaten up, but the other princess consort candidates are all a bit too far behind her. Only you and Sister Youyou have a chance of winning... But Sister Youyou and that bastard are probably on the same side, so they will definitely throw the match. I can only ask you for help."

After speaking, Yuan Baixue didn't wait for Qin Huanyu's reply. She cautiously glanced around a few times, and seeing that no one seemed to be paying attention, she suddenly pressed her body against Qin Huanyu's arm, her face turning as red as a ripe apple.

"I'll do anything as long as you beat up my jerk sister... Aren't you beautiful? I can... Well, since you've taken so many pictures of me looking so pathetic, it means you're still lusting after me, right?"

"Ah this..."

Qin Huanyu was completely dumbfounded.

Just how bad is the relationship between the Yuan sisters? The younger sister is even willing to go to such lengths to get her older sister beaten up...

Qin Huanyu ultimately resisted the temptation and did not agree to Yuan Baixue's deal, but she also said that she would try her best to win the competition.

Besides the people from the Investigation Bureau, there were also acquaintances of Qin Huanyu among the people from the Treasure Pavilion, such as Guo Ying, whom she met during the campaign against the Wild Hunt. At this moment, Guo Ying was whispering to Yuan Tingxue and would occasionally glance in Qin Huanyu's direction... It was probably Guo Ying revealing Qin Huanyu's fighting style to Yuan Tingxue.

Qin Huanyu simply smiled and didn't seem to care.

Having received the Jade Net and the Empress's rewards, her strength has increased significantly, and her fighting style has become much more diverse. If Yuan Tingxue continues to use Qin Huanyu's performance during the Wild Hunt campaign as a reference, her chances of winning will only be lower.

Rather, this actually stirred something in Qin Huanyu's heart, making her think that perhaps she could only show the strength she displayed when fighting the Wild Hunt in the first few matches, and then give Yuan Tingxue a surprise at the end.

The expert responsible for stopping the match at crucial moments was not someone Qin Huanyu knew, but a black-robed woman exuding an evil aura. She wore a theatrical mask so her face was obscured, and she could only be identified as a woman from her voice and figure. She was likely one of the powerful figures secretly cultivated by the royal family.

She gave each of the five princess consort candidates a talisman to carry close to their bodies.

"...What is the use of this talisman?"

Qin Huanyu examined the talisman for a few moments, and made some curious guesses:

"Could they be legendary spatial spells that can teleport us out of the arena if we encounter mortal danger?"

“…Not really.”

The man in black robes gave Qin Huanyu a strange look, and then explained in a very calm tone:

"The kind of spell you mentioned has been lost for a long time... This is just a very ordinary immobilization spell. I will activate the immobilization spell when needed to freeze both sides of the match and stop the game."

"Uh... well."

Qin Huanyu frowned slightly, then relaxed her brow.

This method is certainly not as effective as a teleportation talisman in preventing danger, but it can still stop someone from losing control during the competition. With Suzuran's medical skills, at least no one will die.

With everything ready, the competition officially began.

The first match was between Nangong Yue and Wang Ruoxi.

These two are undoubtedly the weakest in terms of individual strength among the five princess consort candidates. They have basically locked up the fourth and fifth place candidates, making it a standard matchup of weaklings.

Moreover, both Nangong Yue's drone swarm and Wang Ruoxi's "Entering the Dao through Painting" are more suitable to be the first to attack and enter the arena to set up the venue... It can be said that flipping the coin is crucial and can even determine the outcome before the competition even begins.

Naturally, a small argument broke out when they were guessing the coin. Both Nangong Yue and Wang Ruoxi wanted to guess heads, and neither wanted to choose tails.
