Chapter 422: 224. Huo Wuji 2
Of course, if during this period, there is any problem with the safety of the Little Princess, the alliance between the Night Empire and the Great Yan Dynasty will instantly fall apart.
It might even lead to the Great Yan Dynasty blaming everything on our Night Empire, causing the Great Yan Dynasty to ally with the Coastal Alliance.
In this way, our Night Empire will be thoroughly at a disadvantage.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Ninth Special Zone will be the primary responsible party, bearing all responsibility, understood?"
The entire council was momentarily stunned, and in an instant, countless gazes turned to the Little Princess Xia Yuansi, with many feeling like it was a hot potato.
No one expected the safety of the Little Princess to be so important.
President of the Council Vazmir knew that all kinds of excuses were useless now, responded, saying, "Please rest assured, Commander. The Ninth Special Administrative Region Government will do everything possible to protect the Little Princess's safety, and will ensure she suffers no harm or grievance."
Xia Yuansi's eyes suddenly lit up, with a glint in her eyes as she looked at Chen Che.
Upon noticing Xia Yuansi's gaze, Chen Che shivered.
He was very perceptive of a woman's personality.
What kind of girl is Xia Yuansi?
He actually realized it at first glance.
Deep within this girl's core is not someone easy to deal with.
Her mind is strong, with high endurance and adaptability.
Otherwise, anyone else caught by a cult and almost turned into a sacrificial offering would have already gone mad, but Xia Yuansi could quickly adjust from the state of despair.
Even when Chen Che deliberately picked a sexy revealing outfit for her, she seemed quite comfortable, wholly unlike the conservative, decorous, well-mannered princess trained in royal etiquette.
This girl is hiding, constantly concealing her true character because she is depending on others now.
Xia Yuansi somewhat fears offending Chen Che; if this guy suddenly does something to her, she really couldn't even cry.
She seems obedient, but Chen Che knows if placed in the modern age, deep down Xia Yuansi is definitely the wild, indulgent rich girl type.
Wearing hotpants, swaying her petite waist, catching everyone's attention as the queen of the nightclub.
A top-tier female playgirl!
There's even a good chance of her hooking up in the club and after a night of passion, she'd throw a wad of cash at him and walk away stylishly.
Absolutely not someone who's easy to deal with.
Notice how she quickly gained composure the moment she realized her importance after hearing Commander Kang's words.
This girl wants to cause trouble!
Picking up Xia Yuansi's intentions, Chen Che immediately whispered in her ear: "Little Princess, I'm your savior after all; you wouldn't want to mess with me, right?"
Instantly caught, Xia Yuansi's thoughts made her look oddly as she had not exposed her true self this whole time, and yet Chen Che was so quick to read her mind?
Xia Yuansi flashed a smile, her amber-like eyes appearing pure and innocent, as her teeth glistened beneath her pink lips, saying: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I want to mess with you?"
Yeah, right, if I were a male model you ordered, I'd probably need to bring a steel wool pad... Chen Che internally mocked but still continued with a half-joking, half-threatening tone: "Little Princess, it's better to leave things well settled.
Don't cause trouble, Great Saint's Golden Cudgel specializes in subduing demons."
"What Great Saint, what Golden Cudgel?" Xia Yuansi, although unaware of what Chen Ze referred to, seemed to gather something from his words, unconsciously glanced at Chen Che's waist, blushing slightly before slowly turning away.
Xia Yuansi snorted coldly, temporarily shelving the idea of getting back at Chen Che, primarily because she was somewhat apprehensive of An Nishang.
An Nishang brought forth a truly indescribable feeling for her.
For now, keeping her honest.
The meeting continued.
Commander Kang glanced at the screen, saying: "I will connect with the Royal Guard members of the Great Yan Dynasty; everyone, please pay attention."
Upon hearing the commander's words, everyone present straightened their backs, and moments later, a man appeared on the screen.
The man's gaze was piercing, not bulky in build but rather slender, yet the aura he exuded made everyone present feel his sharpness.
Even across the screens separated by miles, one could sense the astonishing presence of this Royal Guard member.
Upon seeing the man, Xia Yuansi's face immediately lit up with joy, she couldn't help but rise and exclaim: "Huo Wuji! Quickly send someone to rescue me, I'm in the Ninth Special Zone of the Night Empire!
Those damned cultists abducted me here."
The man named Huo Wuji, upon seeing Xia Yuansi, finally breathed a sigh of relief, solemnly saying: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Xia Yuansi spun around before Huo Wuji's eyes, showing off her delicate form, saying: "I'm temporarily unharmed, but there are too many bad people here; if time passes, I'm unsure, hurry and send someone to save me!"
Chen Che had a peculiar expression; he felt that Xia Yuansi referred to him as one of the bad guys.
Huo Wuji frowned, saying: "Your Highness, who dressed you in such revealing clothing?! Is the Night Empire so poor they don't have fabric? Your Highness, your body shouldn't be for anyone else to see, and what about those bizarre rune markings on you?"
Xia Yuansi impatiently waved him off, saying peevishly: "Alright, alright, can't you stop fussing about this? This dress was picked by myself; I think it looks great. Showing off the figure doesn't cost a piece of flesh! These characters on me... those damned cultists used some unknown material, they won't wash off easily... altogether, just hurry and send someone to save me."
"Rest assured, Your Highness, I will immediately personally lead 1,000 Royal Guards to your rescue!
Please be patient, Your Highness.
The journey from our Great Yan Dynasty to the Night Empire Ninth Special Zone is exceedingly long; even in our hasty progress, it will still take a month or so, during this time, forgive the inconvenience, Your Highness!"
Xia Yuansi didn't seem to mind, saying: "Don't worry, I won't be inconvenienced, for I am crucial to the whole Ninth Special Zone, they'll protect me; if anything happens to me, they'll be more worried."
Vazmir also spoke at this moment: "Captain Huo of the Royal Guard, please rest assured that before you and your Guard arrive at the Ninth Special Zone, the whole Special Zone will do everything to protect Your Highness's safety, ensuring the cult doesn't harm the Little Princess."
Only when Huo Wuji looked up at the council members did he lose that hint of guilt, his face full of youthful defiance as he clasped his hands towards everyone and said:
"Everyone, Huo Wuji doesn't understand politics. Huo Wuji only knows that the Royal Family has graced him, and the Princess grew up as childhood friends with Huo Wuji, and now, the Princess's status is well-known among you all.
The identity of the Little Princess is crucial; Huo Wuji dares not to guess people's intentions, but knows hearts are hard to fathom.
Huo Wuji requests as well as threatens.
Also ask those present, those who want to use the Princess as a political pawn, achieving political goals through harming her, to put aside such intentions.
Please exhaust all efforts to protect the Princess's safety.
If anything happens to the Princess in the Ninth Special Zone, Huo Wuji will not investigate further, lazily figuring whether it was an outsider's doing or someone in the Ninth Special Zone using the Princess as a political pawn.
Huo Wuji only knows to avenge the Princess!"
"Huo Wuji can inform everyone, Huo Wuji possesses a nuclear bomb with a yield equivalent to 1 million tons of TNT; if anything happens to my Princess, Huo Wuji will deploy the nuclear bomb directly to the Ninth Special Zone!
If anyone escapes from the Ninth Special Zone, Huo Wuji will also exhaust his life to eliminate them!"
Huo Wuji's eyes sparkled with profound coldness, causing everyone present to suddenly change.
Even Commander Kang's face turned sour.
Chen Che's lips twitched; this guy, a madman?
But one cannot deny.
He genuinely cares about Xia Yuansi.
This act aims to intimidate everyone in the Ninth Special Zone from having ulterior motives.
Directly showing his bottom line.
Simultaneously threatening the Ninth Special Zone to not be insincere, demanding 100% effort to protect the Little Princess.
Xia Yuansi's eyes smartly scanned the group, finally speaking up under the stiff atmosphere: "Alright! Huo Wuji, you're so nagging, hurry and rescue me, that's it, I still need to rely on others here; if you say this, how can I stay in someone else's care?"
"Apologies, Your Highness, I have overlooked things."
Huo Wuji eased his tone, clasped his hands, saying: "If there's any offense, I hope everyone will forgive, Huo Wuji just aims to safely retrieve the Princess, when we reach the Ninth Special Zone, if my Princess is safe and sound, Huo Wuji will individually apologize!"
