Chapter 228: The Inner Pill as a Ball

Di Hongluan had no idea that her words were about to make the Tiansheng Emperor and all the officials extremely furious.

Meanwhile, the three envoys were pleased.

“Alright, we are not unreasonable people. Since the princess has come out to speak on our behalf, we don’t mind waiting a bit longer.”

Di Hongluan nodded to the three envoys and then turned to the Tiansheng Emperor, “Uncle Emperor, you see, I’ve already made things clear with the three envoys…”

“Did I ask you to speak? What are you, a child, doing interrupting?” The Tiansheng Emperor roared with fury.

To be respected, one must first respect oneself.

Di Hongluan didn’t even understand this basic principle.

After being scolded, Di Hongluan was stunned, with tears welling up in her eyes, “Uncle Emperor…”

She clearly wanted to help her uncle, so why was he scolding her?

Who else could deal with the three national beasts besides her?

“Your Majesty, I think it’s time to stop the charade. You and this little princess are just stalling us from inviting the Divine Dragon. Your Majesty, this is truly petty. Everyone knows the Tiansheng Dynasty doesn’t have national beasts. Maybe the Divine Dragon overslept and stayed a few extra days at the Tiansheng Dynasty, but you can’t just cling to the Divine Dragon and think it will become yours. No, it doesn’t matter how much you hide or cover up, it’s still not yours.” The Fire Nation envoy spoke with a smile.

Di Hongluan cursed the Tiansheng Emperor in her heart!

Look at that, she had managed to stabilize the three envoys, and her uncle ruined it with a single sentence.

Now the three envoys were eager to find the Divine Dragon again. Let’s see what her uncle will do.

She would still have to step in.

“We don’t have time to watch your performance. We need to go invite the Divine Dragon right now. We hope Your Majesty will agree. Otherwise, my golden dragon might start eating people. You’ve only seen the two-headed dragon eat people; you haven’t yet seen the power of our Fire Nation’s national beast.”

The Tiansheng Emperor clenched his fists in anger, and the civil and military officials were sweating profusely. What could they do?

What could they do now?

“Daddy…” A soft, sweet voice suddenly came from the inner hall.

A small bundle of fluff toddled over to the dragon throne. The little girl tugged at the corner of the Great Tyrant’s dragon robe and looked around the hall with her dark eyes, “Oh, so many people, and there are guests too.”

[Oh dear, are they here to bully my father? Hehe]

“Greetings, Little Princess!”

The civil and military officials bowed.

Somehow, seeing the little princess made them feel relieved.

Aww, the little princess is so cute, and her presence immediately eased the tense atmosphere.

However—

The three-headed dragons were here. They hoped the little princess wouldn’t be scared.

The Concubine De followed in behind, and the Tiansheng Emperor shared the concern.

He hadn’t expected Ah Bao to come along.

He held Ah Bao in his arms, gently patting her back, “Ah Bao, be good. Daddy is holding you.”

Normally, the three envoys would also bow to the princess.

But the three envoys sat unmoving in their chairs.

The Tiansheng Emperor saw this and was extremely frustrated, “The envoys from the three nations don’t even understand basic etiquette?”

The three envoys didn’t care. In the face of absolute power, etiquette was irrelevant.

The weak have no right to speak!

Di Hongluan sneered inwardly. Her uncle was really amusing. The three envoys didn’t even regard him, so how could they possibly show respect to a little princess?

Only her uncle considered Di Jiaoyang a treasure; to outsiders, Di Jiaoyang was nothing!

Ah Bao had a small cloth bag in her arms, which was bulging. She reached in with her tiny hand and pulled out a dark object, popping it into her mouth.

Um…

A rich aroma of roasted chestnuts filled the hall, as if freshly baked.

The little girl chewed happily.

The officials were tempted by the smell.

The three envoys raised their eyebrows.

Fire Nation envoy: “They say the little princess is cute and loves to eat, and it’s true. After all, she’s just a child, and all she thinks about is eating.”

Which country’s princess eats roasted chestnuts in the grand hall? Only Di Jiaoyang is unique.

“Hehe, a snake.” Ah Bao blinked a few times and slid down from the Great Tyrant’s arms.

“Ah Bao…” The Great Tyrant looked worried.

[I’m not scared.]

The Great Tyrant, hearing the thought, immediately stopped speaking: “…”

Ah Bao’s eyes sparkled as she held a chestnut, almost as big as her little hand, and stood in front of the three envoys, staring at the three dragons beside them.

“Snakes are snakes, whether they’re golden or silver, or even have two heads…” Ah Bao tilted her head, putting the chestnut in her mouth and eating it with gusto. She seemed completely unafraid.

The three envoys couldn’t help but laugh, especially the envoy from the Fire Nation, who laughed the hardest, “The little girl is fearless, isn’t she? Quite bold for someone so young.”

“That’s not a snake,” the Fire Nation envoy corrected, “It’s a golden dragon, a dragon beast. You wouldn’t know this, but perhaps your father can explain it to you. It’s a national beast.”

With a smug look.

Ah Bao squinted, smiling happily, “A snake is still a snake.”

The Fire Nation envoy seemed to be in a verbal showdown with Ah Bao, “The little girl really doesn’t understand. She can’t even tell the difference between a snake and a dragon beast. It’s better for you to keep your distance. Be careful, or the golden dragon might scare you.”

A dragon beast can transform into a dragon.

A snake cannot.

The golden dragon, silver dragon, and two-headed dragon stood still!

They were all staring intently at the chestnut in Ah Bao’s hand.

Why is the chestnut in the little girl’s hand radiating golden light?

It was the light of the Divine Dragon.

To the three dragons, it seemed that the little girl wasn’t eating a chestnut but was consuming the light of the Divine Dragon.

She was emitting dragon light all over her body, much stronger than the light of the previous child.

Especially when the girl spoke, the three dragons couldn’t help but shiver. Her eyes, though clear, emitted a dragon light that terrified them.

Ahhh!

No one else could see the dragon light on the girl, but they could.

It was their father’s dragon light.

Ah Bao put her hands on her hips, lifted her chin with a look of disdain, “What’s wrong? Your eyes aren’t good. My ball is prettier.”

Ah Bao reached into her small cloth pouch and pulled out a shiny, large bead.

The bead seemed to grow visibly larger, turning into a big ball.

Ah Bao hugged it and held it up, “Isn’t it pretty?”

The three dragons were stunned!

Completely frozen in mid-air, trembling with fear.

What the heck!

Isn’t this their father’s inner pill?

This girl is using the dragon bead as a toy??

The three dragons shook uncontrollably.

They were so scared they couldn’t even open their mouths or blink their eyes, fearing the little girl might gouge them out.

Oh heavens, someone save them.
