“Even if General Ruobai didn’t mind, I, the Crown Prince, have to mind.” The Crown Prince’s face darkened as he looked at the dazzling and beautiful Li Tianfu, not buying her charms at all.
Li Tianfu was stunned, her eyes wide as she stared at the Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom. She never expected him to stand up for Bai Qingyan!
She bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes as she defiantly stared at Bai Qingyan. “Could it be that the Crown Prince of Jin is also under this God of Slaughter’s…”

Xiliang must still be dreaming… thinking themselves rulers of the world. Who gave Xiliang such face? Was it you, Princess?”
“You!” Li Tianfu stood up abruptly, her chest heaving with anger. “How dare you be so rude!”
