HRPM – Chapter 216 The Vixen Comes to Challenge (1)

Jin Luoluo automatically took Xiao Che’s words as praise and laughed gleefully with her hands on her hips. “I, Jin Luoluo, rely on this mouth of mine to conquer the world without equal! I can be bad at anything else, but my verbal skills are absolutely perfected. I can turn black into white, twist nonsense into logic, and even anger the dead back to life. Anyone who wants to argue with me should go train for another ten years before challenging me one-on-one.”

Xiao Luo’s inner martial arts were profound, so even across the noisy and bustling great hall, his sharp ears still caught Jin Luoluo’s arrogant laughter.

He could not help smiling. The moment someone praised this girl, her tail practically shot up to the heavens.

He had never seen anyone make arrogance seem so natural and adorable. Usually when women acted arrogantly, men would find them vulgar or dislike them, yet she somehow turned all her flaws into strengths.

Perhaps it was because she truly possessed the ability to back it up, so even her arrogance seemed perfectly justified.

No wonder Xiao Yu had fallen for such an unconventional beauty. Even Xiao Che, who had always disliked her, seemed to be gradually changing his attitude toward her.

The Empress looked on in satisfaction as the entire hall fell silent. She knew Jin Luoluo’s impressive display earlier had frightened everyone into not daring to act rashly.

She smiled and said, “Why has the hall become so quiet? Everyone used to be quite enthusiastic about posing challenges, so why is everyone silent now? It seems Luoluo has managed to convince you all.”

The hall became even quieter.

In truth, everyone could tell the people present were unconvinced, but no one dared confront Jin Luoluo head-on.

This woman was simply too formidable. Bold and arrogant in speech, overwhelming in presence, witty yet razor-sharp with her words — she possessed the imposing aura of one man holding a pass against ten thousand enemies.

With that sharp tongue of hers, angering people half to death was hardly surprising.

Those three from earlier were living examples. If anyone rashly stepped forward, the next person to be scolded so thoroughly they’d be drenched in shame would be themselves. Thus, no one was willing to sacrifice themselves as Jin Luoluo’s target.

While everyone exchanged uncertain glances, Yang Ruoyao, the Prime Minister’s daughter, rose gracefully to her feet and performed an elegant palace salute toward the Empress.

A dignified smile appeared on her lips, though her slightly raised phoenix eyes carried a trace of disdain.

“Miss Jin truly lives up to being a merchant. Spending your days dealing with all sorts of common folk and mingling in the marketplaces has certainly sharpened your silver tongue — how could refined people like us possibly withstand it? However, though Ruoyao lacks talent, I too would like to exchange a few words with Miss Jin. But if Miss Jin merely intends to use clever evasions and sidestep a true contest again, then Ruoyao will have nothing more to say, except that Miss Jin is deliberately toying with others maliciously.”
