Chapter 6: Three Years Promise!

In front of the eyes of all people, this third prince was only a pitiful weak and sickly prince.

All imperial physicians already diagnosed him with congenital heart disease, and he would not live past 30 years old.

With such a deadly congenital disease, he could no longer do any taxing exercise such as practicing martial arts.

In this world where martial power determines everything, the third prince who could not practice martial arts was clearly a waste.

Even though he has a stunningly handsome face, no girl wants to get close to him. His royal father and all of his relatives are looking down on him, while everyone avoids him like a plague.

Moreover, his mother passed away right after giving birth to him. So, he really had no one who cared about him anymore.

It was truly a pitiful and miserable background story indeed...

But behind the scenes, this third prince secretly has many hidden terrifying backgrounds!

The leader of the Black Lotus Cult, the head of the most terrifying assassin organization, the founder of the biggest trading firm, and many other more...

Any of them was enough to make everyone who heard it shake in fear and awe.

If he really wanted it, he could easily flip this small Dajing Dynasty upside down in an instant with a single stomp!

The third prince of the Dajing Dynasty, Jing Weiyuan...

This is clearly an extremely terrifying existence that she, Ling Yuyan, could not afford to offend at this point.

Ling Yuyan lowered her head even more timidly, so Jing Weiyuan would not notice her even the slightest.

Ling Yuyan silently recalled Jing Weiyuan's information from the book she had read.

In the book, Jing Weiyuan is an almost invincible existence to the end.

If not for the protagonist's plot armor... oh no, I mean the protagonist's extraordinary luck and his invincible 'power of friendship', this Jing Weiyuan might be the final winner in the end.

It could be said this Jing Weiyuan was also an extremely unlucky one.

He is powerful, cunning, knowledgeable, handsome, and patient.

He should have been the most dazzling figure surpassing everyone in the book, but he fell apart in the end because he committed a taboo.

It was the taboo to never mess with anyone with Li, Lin, Ye, Xiao, Chen, Qin, Chu, and Zhou surnames since any one of them might be the protagonist who will counterattack in the end!

Ling Yuyan shook her head as she reminded herself that even someone as cautious and powerful as Jing Weiyuan could fall in the end, so she had to become even more cautious than him in order to survive.

'In any case, this terrifying dragon-class villain will keep a low profile until his deadly congenital disease is cured. So, there is no need to think too much of him for now. As long as I do not attract his attention, I should be safe.' Ling Yuyan concluded in her mind.

"An Yue?" Ling Yuyan whispered softly.

Ling Yuyan's shadow under her feet trembled slightly as An Yue replied with a direct telepathy into Ling Yuyan's mind: "Yes, Sister Yuyan? Is there something you want me to do?"

"Store all of your Shadow Guards in your ring and hide yourself well from now on. That person behind the Crown Prince is extremely dangerous, so we must not be discovered by him, or it might be disastrous for us." Ling Yuyan warned An Yue with a solemn tone.

"I understand, Sister Yuyan. I will be much more cautious from now on. I can faintly sense a hidden guard at Martial Master realm secretly protecting him, so you should also be really careful around him, Sister Yuyan." An Yue said to Ling Yuyan about what she had sensed from Jing Weiyuan.

Ling Yuyan did not feel surprised at all by An Yue's words.

How could someone as important as Jing Weiyuan not have someone secretly protecting him all the time?!

After Patriarch Wang invited the Crown Prince and the third prince into the main hall of the Wang Family's mansion, Ling Yuyan and the other maids could finally back to do their own tasks.

Ling Yuyan's task was to follow and serve Wang Qingling, but Wang Qingling had also entered the main hall with the other Wang Family members.

She clearly could not casually barge into the main hall to chase after Wang Qingling, so she could only follow the other Wang Family members' personal maids and waited patiently outside the main hall.

'So hungry... So thirsty... It is already time for us to have lunch, but that heartless Wang Family bast*rd only let us stand here while they eat many delicious food inside there!' Ling Yuyan angrily cursed and complained in her mind.

"Sister Yuyan, I can secretly steal some food and drink for you from inside there." An Yue offered with telepathy.

"No need! I can still hold it. It would be bad if you accidentally be noticed by that demon king." Ling Yuyan rejected An Yue's idea almost immediately.

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!

Unfortunately, Ling Yuyan's stomach was much more honest than hers, and growled loudly in protest.

Ling Yuyan: "....."

"Err, well... Just steal it from the kitchen to be safe." Ling Yuyan muttered weakly.

"Okay..." An Yue replied as she flashed toward the kitchen.

It did not take long for her to bring back meat buns, pancakes, and a pot of tea for Ling Yuyan.

Ling Yuyan pretended to yawn while kept stuffing the warm and delicious food in her mouth so as not to make other maids or servants notice her action.

After Ling Yuyan felt full and burped in satisfaction, she heard a large commotion from inside the hall.

'It seems that the Crown Prince should have already said his true intention for coming here. That should be the reason why such a big commotion happened right now.' Ling Yuyan concluded.

'Too bad I cannot watch the most iconic event at the beginning of the book with my own eyes.' Ling Yuyan silently lamented.

.....

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince had already unfurled the imperial edict about the engagement annulment in front of everyone in the main hall and stated his intention arrogantly to dissolve his engagement with Wang Meng Yuan.

The entire main hall was instantly boiling as the Wang Family member talked and argued about it.

Some of them were gloating at it, while most of them felt it was something bound to happen sooner or later.

How could an utter waste like Wang Meng Yuan be a match for someone like the Crown Prince?!

Isn't that like a dragon marrying an ugly frog?!

They were clearly not suitable with each other at all!

Everyone thought Wang Meng Yuan could only accept it while crying like a brokenhearted innocent little girl in disappointment.

Who knew that Wang Meng Yuan boldly took the imperial edict about the engagement annulment from the crown prince's grasp and burned it down in front of everyone!

"WANG... MENG... YUAN~! DO YOU WANT TO REBEL?!" The Crown Prince gnashed his teeth in extreme rage as he shouted intimidatingly at Wang Meng Yuan.

"I, Wang Meng Yuan, never hoped to marry a high and mighty person like you since the very beginning, but you should not insult me in front of everyone like this!" Wang Meng Yuan replied to Crown Prince with a freezing cold tone.

The Crown Prince sneered mockingly at Wang Meng Yuan and said: "Then what? You want me to say I am being forced by my royal father to divorce you and comfort you with a warm hug? This prince can only say, sorry. This prince would never be polite to a waste like you!"

"But this prince is still thoughtful, so this prince brings his brother, the third prince, as your new groom. Both of you are a pair of waste, so you two are very suitable with each other. Hahahahaha~!" The Crown Prince laughed mockingly after he ridiculed both Wang Meng Yuan and Jing Weiyuan.

Wang Meng Yuan's expression became even colder.

meanwhile, Jing Weiyuan slowly sipped his tea while sitting leisurely with a gentle smile on his handsome face as if he had not heard the Crown Prince's mockery.

Jing Weiyuan's attitude was very casual as if he was only watching an opera troupe performing.

Anyone who saw him should think that he was only a pitiful and harmless sickly prince without any strength to fight at all.

But Wang Meng Yuan's reaction was completely different.

She immediately spoke coldly to the Crown Prince: "Oh, high and mighty Crown Prince, what is your basis for humiliating me? Just because you are the son of the Emperor?! If you are not born into the royal family, you are nothing at all!"

Crown Prince's expression distorted even more in unbearable anger.

If they were not inside the Wang Family's mansion and in front of so many Wang Family members right now, he would have already taught Wang Meng Yuan a very harsh lesson.

"Then who do you think you are right now? Your status is nothing compared to me, you also do not even have any strength to fight against me. You are only a waste who could only depend on Wang Family to live~!" The Crown Prince scoffed at Wang Meng Yuan while sneering disdainfully at her.

Wang Meng Yuan took a deep breath as she stated: "All right, then three years from now, I will challenge you to fight and prove who is the real waste~! How about it? Do you dare to accept it?!"

"Why I don't dare?! I accept your challenge! If you can win against me three years from now, I will promise to marry you in front of everyone!" The Crown Prince bravely accepted Wang Meng Yuan's challenge.

The reason the Crown Prince accepted Wang Meng Yuan's challenge so easily was because he did not sense any internal energy from Wang Meng Yuan's body which mean she was still only an ordinary person right now.

The Crown Prince's martial ream was already in the Mid-rank Martial Warrior right now, so how could he lose to Wang Meng Yuan three years later?!

But Wang Meng Yuan immediately rejected the Crown Prince's words: "No need~! I would rather die than marry such an arrogant person like you."

"If I win, I want you to kowtow three times to me in front of everyone and apologize to me! Do you still dare to accept it?" Wang Meng Yuan provoked the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince gritted his teeth as he accepted Wang Meng Yuan's challenge without any hesitation: "All right, I accept it~! If I win, you will be the one to kowtow three times to me in front of everyone and shout that you are the real trash!"

Wang Meng Yuan nodded her head and replied: "Okay, no problem."

Wang Meng Yuan did not have any mood to remain in this hall with the Crown Prince, so she got out of the main hall and returned to her room.

If Ling Yuyan was there, she might regret it a bit that Wang Meng Yuan did not say the protagonist's famous keywords: "Thirty years east, thirty years west, don't you dare bully me just because I am poor now."
