Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!-Chapter 1246: Extra: Little Princess Huo Beguiles the Emperor of Daqian

Huo Yuning had barely finished speaking when Anjin jumped out again, before Xiao Jun’an could respond. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He pointed at the seated Huo Yuning, feigning ferocity as he loudly accused, "How audacious! Lady Anjin, aren’t you afraid of being executed along with your entire family for your arrogance!"

Though Anjin’s voice boomed loudly, he was inwardly timid.

He felt an inexplicable fear towards Huo Yuning.

Her pitch-black, ink-like eyes, which seemed capable of devouring one’s soul, gave him the feeling that all his thoughts and intentions were utterly exposed.

This Lady Anjin exuded an evil aura from the inside out.

Huo Yuning was annoyed by the interruption and lifted her eyelids to glance at the sweaty Anjin.

Seeing his fearful gaze fixed on her, the corners of Huo Yuning’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Her red lips moved slightly as she uttered a chilling threat, "Dare to talk too much again, and I’ll pull out your tongue so you can’t even complain as a ghost!"

Anjin felt his scalp tingle at her sinister tone.

Lately, Capital City was anything but peaceful. Demons and evil spirits roamed, frequently committing atrocities, causing the people to live in constant fear.

In the imperial court this morning, ministers reported that a heart-eating demon had appeared in Capital City, which fed on human hearts, causing the citizens to bolt their doors as soon as night fell.

In the past, Capital City was alive with lights burning till dawn, and the streets were bustling at night with millions of people enjoying night snacks, solving lantern riddles, and watching variety shows—a life of ease.

Since the war broke out a year ago, followed by constant disasters, everything had changed.

Anjin trembled all over. The several guards stationed by the door, each armed with a blade, also turned pale.

It was evident how frightened they were of the rampant demons and evil spirits in Capital City.

Xiao Jun’an was aware of the evil spirits haunting Capital City, and the State Preceptor was powerless against them.

To overcome this crisis, they had to rely on the young girl before them.

His cold eyes focused on Huo Yuning, whose delicate face revealed a cunning smile.

Huo Yuning asked with a grin, "Have you thought about how you’re going to plead with me?"

Xiao Jun’an’s thin lips were tightly pressed, his already expressionless handsome face growing even more somber.

His lips moved, "Can you deal with the demons and evil spirits rampaging among the people?"

Huo Yuning, arrogant and confident, declared, "The things I fear least are demons and ghosts. I can handle them in a matter of minutes!"

Unlike ordinary women, who would be terrified at the mention of evil spirits, she didn’t flinch.

He asked again, "What are your thoughts on the border conflicts?"

Huo Yuning pouted, "I have no particular opinion. It’s just a lack of firearms. Otherwise, I alone could make them cry for mercy!"

What did the Huo Family do? They were a weaponry tycoon!

They practically monopolized the weaponry on Blue Planet.

Xiao Jun’an frowned, puzzled, "Firearms?"

At the mention of this, Huo Yuning perked up.

She stretched out her hand, using her thumb, index, and middle finger to mimic a gun, pointing it at Xiao Jun’an.

"You see, if I had a weapon in my hand, just gently pulling with my index and middle fingers would be enough to kill you instantly, even if you were a hundred meters away."

Xiao Jun’an furrowed his brow, feeling that this was utterly nonsensical.

Still, he humored her by asking, "Does such a powerful weapon exist in this world?"

Huo Yuning, sensing his skepticism, haughtily snorted, "Of course, there are even more powerful weapons, enough to destroy a city if amassed in large quantities."

Hearing about the destruction of a city, Xiao Jun’an’s eyes glittered with a brilliant spark, a trace of longing evident.

His voice tightened as he asked, "What is it?"

Huo Yuning said, smilingly, "Explosives!"

She thought to herself that mentioning "bombs" would also be lost on him.
