His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 476: Heart in Such Pain as if Cut with a Knife

Feng Chen naturally had no feelings towards Leng Ling Shuang’s look as if she had been given a mental blow. He sat there indifferent, with an imposing manner.

Mu’rong Jiao sighed—Leng Ling Shuang usually looked quite smart, why was she so brainless right now.

“Junior Sister Leng, losing is losing. The betting just now wasn’t something we could manipulate.”

Mu’rong Jiao’s words were very clear. This was a bet in the Underground Palace. Yu Qing Qian and the others couldn’t possibly cheat, and if anyone was to blame, it could only be Leng Ling Shuang’s own impulsiveness—and the last raise was her own idea.

Mu’rong Jiao’s timely reminder forced Leng Ling Shuang to sit back in her original position, clenching her fists tighter together, unaware that her palm was even cut.

“We hope that we won’t hold any grudges because of these little things during this cooperative mission.” Seeing that the pupils of the Holy Academy were united in their hatred of the enemy, Mu’rong Jiao sighed again, and tried to ease the atmosphere.

Feng Chen furrowed his brows slightly and ignored him, and instead turned to look at Yu Qing Qian.

Yu Qing Qian felt her heart itch when she saw such an angry Feng Chen. If there was no one here, she really wanted to hug him and give him a kiss. Her Sick Beauty was even so tempting when he got angry.

If the other pupils present knew what Yu Qing Qian was thinking, they’d definitely have the urge to vomit blood. What sort of time was this, she was still in the mood to think about these things…

“Of course, the betting is just for fun.” Yu Qing Qian held Feng Chen’s hand and scratched his palm with her fingertips.

Feng Chen’s slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, his eyes overflowing with tenderness and pampering, and he tightly held a certain someone’s mischievous hand.

Yu Qing Qian’s words seemed to have allowed the situation just now to pass over. After all, she just hated Leng Ling Shuang and didn’t want to make enemies with the other people in the Imperial Academy or provoke conflicts within the cooperation.

Hearing her words, the pupils of the Imperial Academy also sighed with relief. The Academy attached great importance to this mission. If the cooperation between the two Academies broke down because of this small issue, they wouldn’t be able to explain it when they returned.

After all, the training method of the Imperial Academy was completely different from that of the Holy Academy, and it was much stricter. Yu Qing Qian and the others may not be punished after they return, but they would.

Meanwhile, they could tell now that Yu Qing Qian was indeed worthy of the title ‘Great Demon King’. She was fearless of heaven and earth and had the unconditional support of Feng Chen, Chi Mo Ran, and Huo Li Ruo, that traitor. They really couldn’t do anything to her.

Cheng Zhuo’s social skills were very good. He soon broke the somewhat stiff and awkward atmosphere, continuously communicating with the pupils of the two Academies, and gradually the two sides became harmonious again.

This was of course also based on the premise that Yu Qing Qian wouldn’t pursue the matter further, otherwise Cheng Zhuo wouldn’t do this either.

Soon, the reward for the betting was delivered. Because the amount of spiritual jade bet by Yu Qing Qian, Leng Ling Shuang, and the others were too large, and not many people followed in the other private rooms, the fifty thousand was only rewarded with sixty thousand, but it also made the pupils of the Holy Academy very excited.

They were excited not only because they won ten thousand, but because it was indeed right to follow the Great Demon King.

Yu Qing Qian also put away the bets on the table without being polite, which made Leng Ling Shuang very dizzy.

After rebirth, Leng Ling Shuang regarded familial affection, love, and friendship as a bridge to climb up, and she didn’t let go of anything that could be used, but she never gave up her true heart—even towards her aunt who brought her back to raise her, there were more feelings of use.

In this life, she believed that only by grasping various opportunities and treasures in her hands was it truest and the most reliable, so losing so many treasures that she had collected for many years truly made her heart feel such pain as if being cut with a knife.

“Junior Sister, I used my mental energy to explore and clearly felt that the second egg had a stronger aura of life. Why did the first egg break the shell first?” Cheng Zhuo looked at Yu Qing Qian and asked with curiosity.

He was a little confused and believed that Yu Qing Qian must have been certain before placing the bet, so he asked her to explain.
