"Not at all."
Wuma Xian'er smiled charmingly, her response firm and resolute.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yingzheng's expression gradually darkened.
After all, he was the First Divine General of the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom, a position of great prestige. He served the Azure Wave Emperor, and even the Emperor's precious daughter, Qing Jiu Zhen, treated him with utmost respect when speaking to him.
Although the other party was likely from the Southern Wilderness Wuma Clan, it seemed unreasonable for them to disregard his status entirely.
Moreover, with so many Azure Dragon Guards present, how could he maintain his authority as the First Divine General of the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom?
This was not the Southern Border, and Wuma Xian'er certainly had her reservations.
While she did not fear Ji Yingzheng, she also did not wish to escalate the situation to a point where Ji Yingzheng would lose face.
After a slight pause, she continued with a smile, "Because he is already mine!"
"Yours?"
Ji Yingzheng's expression shifted sharply; Wuma Xian'er's words carried significant weight.
He looked at her with curiosity and asked, "I wonder if Miss Xian'er means... your person or that of the Limitless Demon Sect?"
"Giggling... both," Wuma Xian'er replied with a playful laugh, her captivating eyes glancing at Ye Fan, subtly conveying her intentions.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yingzheng couldn't help but feel speechless.
The other Azure Dragon Guards silently cursed in their hearts, "What the hell!"
"Beasts!"
"How could they do this?"
"Shameless."
Qing Jiu Zhen shot a cold glance at Wuma Xian'er and said, "Qing Jiu Zhen."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yingzheng couldn't help but turn around to look at Qing Jiu Zhen again.
Since Wuma Xian'er had mentioned her relationship with Ye Fan, it had indeed given him a way out.
As for what their relationship truly was, that was beyond their concern.
If Qing Jiu Zhen were to be provoked, then the situation before them would likely become very difficult to handle.
However, what one fears often comes to pass.
Sure enough, after hearing Qing Jiu Zhen's words, although Wuma Xian'er still wore a charming smile, her voice had turned noticeably colder.
The mesmerizing eyes glanced indifferently at Qing Jiu Zhen, and with a light laugh, said, "Your Highness, could you repeat what you just said?"
"Do you think this princess is afraid?"
Qing Jiu Zhen stepped forward in an instant, facing Zheng Feng directly. "This princess said you are shameless."
"Good, very good. As expected of the princess of the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom, you truly have a personality." Wuma Xian'er replied, her smile still on her face.
Yet behind that smile lay a coldness as sharp as a blade.
With Qing Jiu Zhen's words spoken, Ji Yingzheng could no longer intervene in time.
Thus, his gaze fixed firmly on Wuma Xian'er, ever vigilant.
No matter what, Qing Jiu Zhen was a princess; nothing must go wrong.
Suddenly, Wuma Xian'er’s figure vanished from sight, transforming into an afterimage that appeared right in front of Qing Jiu Zhen. She swiftly reached out with her hand to strike.
"You dare!"
Ji Yingzheng, always on guard, shouted loudly and quickly positioned himself in front of her, launching a punch in an instant.
The punch surged like thunder, powerful enough to shatter the heavens and split the earth.
As he threw the punch, Ji Yingzheng radiated an overwhelming aura, his entire body enveloped in a layer of golden light—an exclusive protective energy cultivated from the Imperial Dao Scripture.
Named "Imperial Heavenly Qi."
The powerful energy suddenly erupted, directly forcing Qing Jiu Zhen back to a distance.
This was to prevent him from engaging with Wuma Xian'er, ensuring that Qing Jiu Zhen would not be affected.
"Just you? Do you really think you can protect her?"
Wuma Xian'er snorted coldly, shifting from a palm strike to a finger jab. Suddenly, an overwhelming aura surged around her, surrounded by a fierce energy. She struck three consecutive fingers directly onto Ji Yingzheng's fist.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With three muffled sounds, Ji Yingzheng staggered back three steps.
His face also momentarily turned pale.
The terrifying power of the Demon-Slaying Finger surged wildly toward his Nascent Soul and spirit.
Not daring to think too much, Ji Yingzheng quickly focused on suppressing these two forces.
In contrast, Wuma Xian'er had already bypassed him, slipping to the front of Qing Jiu Zhen.
"Slap! Slap!"
Two extremely loud slaps instantly landed hard on Qing Jiu Zhen's face.
Then Wuma Xian'er’s figure, like a ghost, retreated swiftly.
Suddenly, she appeared right in front of Ye Fan, her expression calm, still smiling like a blooming flower.
However, at that moment, everyone was stunned.
They stared blankly at Princess Qing Jiuzhen.
Even Qing Jiu Zhen herself was equally bewildered.
Her extremely proud gaze turned towards the already retreating Wuma Xian'er, disbelief filling her eyes.
One hand covered her burning face while the other pointed at Wuma Xian'er. Gritting her teeth, she said, "You... how dare you slap this princess!"
"This princess will make you..."
"Qing Jiu Zhen, shut up!"
Ji Yingzheng suppressed the power of the Demon-Slaying Divine Finger once more and looked at Qing Jiu Zhen's slightly swollen face, unable to help but scold her with a grim expression.
She truly did not know her place.
Could she not see that she was no match for that woman?
How could she still dare to shout? If it weren't for her status...
Ji Yingzheng even felt like going up and giving her a couple of slaps herself.
"How utterly infuriating!"
"Your mouth is too reckless, yet your skills don't match. Consider this a lesson; next time, things won't be so easy for you."
Seeing Qing Jiu Zhen's defiant expression, Wuma Xian'er said nonchalantly.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Applause erupted.
Ye Fan never expected Wuma Xian'er to be so formidable. The princess of the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom had been slapped without hesitation.
Unable to contain himself, he clapped enthusiastically and gave Wuma Xian'er a thumbs up, exclaiming, "Sister Xian'er is truly a heroine, powerful and majestic."
"You..."
Hearing Ye Fan's applause, Qing Jiu Zhen's face turned even darker. She pointed at Ye Fan, her body trembling with anger, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Especially with Ye Fan's loud applause ringing in her ears, it felt like another slap to her face, leaving her cheeks burning with humiliation.
Xudong and the Azure Dragon Guard shrank back in fear, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Qing Jiu Zhen.
They were terrified that this princess might order them to deal with Ye Fan at any moment.
They were no match for him!
If she gave such an order, it would be sending them to their doom!
"Shouldn't there be applause here?"
Seeing Qing Jiu Zhen pointing at herself, Ye Fan deliberately asked, aiming to infuriate Qing Jiu Zhen even more.
After all, she had been acting so high and mighty earlier; it was truly deserving of a slap.
Mo Pu wore a mocking smile as he coldly regarded Qing Jiu Zhen.
To still act so arrogantly in front of the young lady was simply asking for trouble.
"You all wait for me; this princess will remember you."
After a long pause, Qing Jiu Zhen's gaze swept fiercely over Ye Fan and Wuma Xian'er as she spoke harshly.
"It seems like revenge is on the way! Sister Xianer, why not strike while the iron is hot and give her a few slaps?" Ye Fan, seemingly unfazed by the situation, made a shocking suggestion.
