Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

Looking at the disdainful glances cast toward Xia Hau, Old Prince Bruch’s face gradually darkened. Although he was mentally prepared earlier, seeing these people disrespect the heir left by their ancestors still sent a chill through his heart.

At this moment, Xia Hau suddenly patted his hand and gave him a composed look.

"Everyone, let me say a few words."

Xia Hau spoke up, drawing everyone’s attention.

"I understood what everyone was saying earlier, simply because of my lack of strength, I am not qualified to take on the position of Dark Council Chairman. If that’s the case, let’s have a one-on-one duel. If I defeat the person you’ve chosen, the chairman position is mine. How about that?"

Old Prince Bruch was shocked in his heart; this is sheer nonsense! Although Xia Hau has ten-wing capabilities, he has no combat experience. Those present have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years; their cunning and experience are not something Xia Hau can contend with.

Just as he was about to object, Xia Hau turned to glance at him.

Old Prince Bruch was awed by the light in Xia Hau’s eyes, standing stunned. What he saw was not the blind confidence of an ordinary teenager but the decisiveness and struggle of a king. Suddenly, he recalled the history of Ancestor Cain defying countless masters alone. Perhaps it was precisely due to Xia Hau’s persistence that Cain chose him.

Xia Hau’s proposal left everyone surprised and uncertain; some even sneered out loud.

"A little kid, not even fully grown, wants to challenge us alone? Hahaha, Bruch, is your kid here to play house?" An Alpha Werewolf couldn’t hide it and laughed heartily. Other werewolves also burst into laughter, completely disregarding Xia Hau’s challenge.

Though the Blood Clan was not as outrageous, their faces showed considerable sarcasm.

"This Mr. Xia is as fearless as a young calf, daring to do anything. Haha." Bach sneered, "However, since you’ve suggested it, we shouldn’t argue. Just compete with the current Dark Council Chairman. Let’s see your strength."

The named Dark Council Chairman was eager to try, although his power was not high, dealing with a little kid should be more than enough.

Xia Hau sat steadily in the chair, glanced at the chairman, and asked, "If I beat you, the chairman position will be mine?"

The chairman was stunned and instinctively looked at Bach.

Bach laughed, "Of course not. The Blood Clan is full of experts. To sit in the chairman’s position, you’ll have to defeat them all."

Old Prince Bruch slammed the table, "Bach! Aren’t you being too excessive!"

There are so many masters in the Blood Clan; if Xia Hau were to fight one by one, a battle of exhaustion could lead to death! This Bach is deliberately trying to mock him!

Bach looked at Old Prince Bruch, shrugged innocently, "Bruch, it’s just a suggestion. If Mr. Xia can’t fight, he can surrender."

Old Prince Bruch wanted to say something but was patted on the shoulder by Xia Hau and pressed into his seat. Xia Hau stood up and lightly swept his gaze over everyone.

"Since Lord Bach says so, let’s proceed. However, I have another request."

Bach raised an eyebrow, "Please, speak."

"If I win, there must be no more disputes about the chairman position. Additionally, I want my companion to take the vice-chairman position!"

Bach did not expect Xia Hau to have such a request and couldn’t help but ask, "Who is your companion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft voice responded.

"It’s me."

Under the gaze of everyone, a slender woman cloaked stood up from her chair. She walked slowly to Xia Hau’s side and took off her hood.

A face as delicate as jade was revealed to everyone, making them frown with concern.

"Hahaha!" Suddenly, the conference hall erupted into laughter, an Alpha Werewolf almost doubled over with laughter, "Let a woman be the vice-chairman! Is the kid still dreaming?!"

"Exactly! Little lady should just go home and take care of the children, hahaha!"

Amid the ridicule, Bach stared at the girl with a furrowed brow, asking, "Who might you be?"

"Xuanjin, An Yiqing."

The laughter abruptly stopped, as if everyone had their throats clamped and almost forgot to breathe. What did they just hear? Who is this woman?

An Yiqing, a name they couldn’t be more familiar with. She single-handedly battled the Archbishop in Red and twenty Onmyoji, with countless elite members of The Church defeated at her hands. Her deeds are well discussed within the Blood Clan and Werewolves, prompting even a group of admirers to worship An Yiqing wholeheartedly.
