Thirteenth Birthday 5

The faces of everyone in the General's manor couldn't be any funnier. Ouyang Feiyang clutched his chest as if he's having a heart attack while her father, Ouyang Chunxia stared at her in disbelief as the corner of his eyes reddened. Xia Wei gasped and covered her mouth as her eyes danced in excitement.

The Princess' six words had successfully created an uproar. The excited ministers shoved each other aside as they raced to arrive in front of The Princess with their sons and grandsons.

There were even some ministers who brought their daughters in hope that the Princess swing both ways…

It was less than five second that Ouyang Xueqing was completely surrounded. "Princess, this is my most outstanding grandson, Cheng Yuanwu, he had just received the award of—"

"Princess, this is my only male offspring by five generation—"

"Princess—"

Ouyang Xueqing was dumbfounded. She was not done talking, okay?! Exasperatedly, she raised her right hand and exclaimed loudly: "But!"

The crowd shut up instantly. They stared at her in eagerness as though eyeing a piece of fragrant meat while having starved for three days.

She shuddered and subconsciously stepped back. "But, I have a condition! Of course, my future partner should be someone that is far from ordinary, he should be an outstanding beast that is worthy to stand by my side. Thus, this condition of mine must be fulfilled. Those that had succeed, Qing'er is willing to be betrothed to him!"

They nodded. It made sense. "What is your condition, Princess?"

Their mind had working rapidly to count their families wealth and treasures. If the Princess had opened her mouth and requested for something, they would have prepared to rush back as soon as possible to get it! Some had even prepared a communication talisman to ask their servant to prepare the gifts! Either way, they had to be the fastest!

"My condition is…" Ouyang Xueqing eyed them one by one solemnly while her gaze eventually fell on the figure that had been standing on her back all the time. She raised her hand and pointed at Ren Yupei. "He has to beat Ren Yupei!"

The veins on Ren Yupei's forehead almost burst. The corner of his lips twitched as he was stunned silly. Hey, Princess, can we please talk about it beforehand if you intend to drop a bomb like this?

Ling Xiaochen choked on her tea and coughed hard. Her face reddened as she covered her mouth to hide her grin. She discreetly raised a thumbs up to the Princess. Good job, girl! Go get them!

Wang Ze's eyes were as wide as a saucer as he too was stunned and didn't know how to react.

Ouyang Xueqing turned to him and asked for affirmation: "Is that okay, Imperial Father? Qing'er's partner of course had to be strong and smart! Brother Ren is Qing'er's ideal man. If no one could beat him then that means that no one is worthy of Qing'er!"

The ministers: "…"

Their sons and grandsons: "…"

Princess, wait. Please wait a moment. Do you have any idea what kind of condition is that? Beat Ren Yupei? The second most formidable knight in the entire Beast Mainland that was said to be on par with An Zhengnan that killing maniac if he had gotten serious? That cunning gentle smiling fox that could sell you and help him count the money without you realizing it?

Beat him? On their dreams!

"Oh?" Wang Ze raised an eyebrow as he glanced sideway at the frozen Ren Yupei. "He is your ideal man?"

"Right! Right!" Ouyang Xueqing nodded with a serious look. "If no one can beat him, then Qing'er will just marry Brother Ren in the future!"

Wang Ze drawled in a low tone. "Marry him…hmm?"

"Right! Right!"

Ren Yupei was soaked in cold sweat as he felt the intense murderous gaze on his back. He cried a river inwardly. Princess, Princess, please stop! Please have mercy on my life! Did we already agree not to talk about this again? If you have said more, the Lord will dismember me to pieces!

"Ren Yupei."

He gulped nervously and turned, his movement was stiff and awkward. He tried to pester a smile, yet it seemed as though he was crying. "Y—Yes, My Lord?"

"Do you hear what Qing'er said?"

"Yes, My Lord."

Damn, the Lord was smiling and talking with an even and gentle tone, yet what was this sense of danger that he was feeling? He even had the urge to turn into his beast form and curled into a ball!

"Then, This Lord entrusted the job to you, do it well, or else…"

The Emperor chuckled, yet his threat was as obvious as the cloud on the sky! If Ren Yupei had lost and gave the Princess' hand to others, The Lord would personally deal with him!

"Trust me, My Lord! This subordinate will not let you down!" Ren Yupei wiped his face, it was soaked, unclear whether it was sweat or tears. He mourned his pitiful life, yet was helpless when the Princess beamed so brightly at him.

It was so pure and charming that he didn't have the heart to even get angry. He could only patted her head exasperatedly and sighed. "Princess, you…"

Ouyang Xueqing blinked and titled her head confusedly. "Why? Is there something wrong?"

He smiled gently as usual and shook his head. "Nothing." It's just that my life was hanging on a very, very thin and fragile thread just now. It was so close. I can even imagine the King of Hell waiting to reap my soul.

The Emperor instantly wrote his Imperial Edict and spread it toward the entire Beast Mainland.

He who can beat Ren Yupei will be the Princess' fiancé!

Yet, as soon as the news spread, the initially bubbling excitement died down like a flower that was submerged in poisonous acid, wilted and lost its vigor immediately.

What kind of condition is this? You'd better reject the proposal directly ah, Princess! The rejection was slightly better than this! Who was crazy enough to challenge Ren Yupei? Did they not want their lives anymore?!
