Jin Luoluo only wanted to shout, I don’t even have confidence in myself—where on earth did you get so much confidence from? A pleasant surprise? More like I’d give you a terrifying shock instead!
“Your Majesty, I think you’d better not place too much faith in me. I don’t have any experience in this sort of thing. I might make a fool of myself~~ And you know that a nation’s dignity isn’t something to joke about.”
The Empress was completely unconcerned.
“Experience is accumulated over time. If you never gain experience, how can you ever become experienced? As long as you have the ability and a bit of adventurous spirit, you will certainly succeed. If you’re unsure how to proceed, you can seek advice from your Seventeenth Uncle. He was the team leader last year and will undoubtedly be able to offer you much useful guidance.”
What?
The Black-Bellied Prince was a team leader before?
A fierce fighting spirit suddenly ignited within Jin Luoluo.
How could she possibly lose to the Black-Bellied Prince?
Even if victory seemed impossible, she’d create the conditions necessary to win. This mission had to succeed. She absolutely had to stand on the Black-Bellied Prince’s head and flaunt her triumph.
Brimming with enthusiasm, Jin Luoluo grasped the Empress’s hands, her eyes sparkling.
“Your Majesty, you’re absolutely right! This isn’t difficult at all. I’ll definitely defeat the Jialan Kingdom delegation so thoroughly that they’ll be scattered in utter defeat and slink back to their country with their tails tucked between their legs. Just leave everything to me!”
The Empress couldn’t understand why Jin Luoluo’s attitude had changed so abruptly.
However, the fierce expression on Jin Luoluo’s face, like that of a carnivorous beast preparing to hunt, was genuinely frightening.
The Empress shuddered slightly.
“Um… there’s really no need to go quite that far. Defeating them will be enough. Luoluo, could you let go of my hands? They’re not made of iron—you’re squeezing them too tightly.”
Standing nearby, Xiao Yu could only wonder:
Jin Luoluo isn’t going to turn this entire competition into some kind of comedy extravaganza, is she?
He had a feeling that this year’s contests, which had always been conducted with utmost seriousness, would become… rather extraordinary.
But it was also something worth looking forward to.
The streets of East Cloud Avenue were bustling with excitement.
Word had spread that the Yun family—the same family that had hosted the Moonlit Beauty Competition—had purchased the entire street and converted it into their own commercial district.
From one end of the avenue to the other, every single shop bore the Yun family’s insignia. The sight was both imposing and awe-inspiring, displaying not only their influence but also their immense wealth.
Many commoners had flocked there, eager to witness the grand opening of the Yun family’s astonishingly impressive shops. Rumor had it that, to celebrate the launch, the new stores were offering huge discounts, with numerous goods being sold at bargain prices as a gesture of appreciation to their customers.
