The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 881

Chapter 881: Chapter 767, Instant Kill

"Princess Qianhua, you lost!"

Daohua stood in the arena, looking down condescendingly at Yelu Qianhua, who was lying on the ground.

Yelu Qianhua attempted to stand up but struggled several times without success. Finally, it was with the help of the Xiliao people by her side that she managed to stand, enduring the pain throughout her body.

"Let’s go!"

Yelu Qianhua cast an indignant glance at Daohua, who looked back at her with disdain, and left with a heart full of humiliation, supported by her attendants.

"Wait!"

Daohua’s voice halted them.

Yelu Qianhua stopped in her tracks, spun around with shame and anger, and gritted her teeth as she asked, "What else do you want?"

Daohua sneered, "It seems the princess of Xiliao cannot accept defeat. Have you forgotten, princess, that it was you who requested this duel?"

Yelu Qianhua looked down and pursed her lips, saying nothing.

Daohua turned her gaze away from her and toward the two Xiliao people supporting Yelu Qianhua, "I cannot fight in this arena for nothing. I’ve heard that there is a tradition in Xiliao duels, which is that the victor may claim the weapon of the defeated. Therefore, please leave your twin sabers behind, princess. Those are my spoils of victory; you cannot take them with you."

"You..."

Yelu Qianhua looked at Daohua, both ashamed and furious. Having her sabers taken was a great dishonor for the people of Xiliao. But she had been defeated in front of everyone and had no grounds to refuse.

In the stands, Yelu Hao glanced at Yelu Kangda, and upon seeing his lack of reaction, swallowed the words he had wanted to say to plead with the Emperor of Daxia on her behalf.

"Leave the sabers!"

Yelu Qianhua spoke reluctantly.

The two Xiliao attendants exchanged looks, placed the sabers reluctantly on the arena, and then quickly helped Yelu Qianhua leave.

The trio passed by Xiao Yeyang as they exited the arena.

"These are my winnings."

Seeing Xiao Yeyang approach, Daohua immediately presented Yelu Qianhua’s twin sabers with pride.

Xiao Yeyang took the sabers and glanced at them, praising with a smile, "Well fought!"

Daohua’s eyes gleamed as she tilted her chin up slightly.

Xiao Yeyang extended his hand to help her down from the arena, "Come, let’s go report back to the Emperor."

Daohua nodded, "Mhm."

In the stands, as the crowd watched Daohua and Xiao Yeyang walk side by side, adversaries and allies alike couldn’t help but secretly admire their striking couple’s appearance.

Xiao Yeyang led Daohua before the Emperor. After they paid their respects, the Emperor publicly praised Daohua, and then added, "An amicable spar should value harmony. Perhaps we should return Princess Qianhua’s sabers to her?"

Daohua replied with a smile, "Your Majesty, this humble girl had no desire to keep them. I only thought that since Xiliao has always had this tradition, if I didn’t accept, wouldn’t that be seen as disrespecting Princess Qianhua? If Princess Qianhua wishes, she can take them back at any time. After all, Xiao Yeyang has just won me a saber too."

Hearing this, officials like Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua couldn’t help but bow their heads to stifle their laughter.

This Countess of Shengping really knows how to deal a swift retort.

The faces of the Xiliao Delegation were indeed quite sour. Yelu Hao looked at Daohua and said with a laugh, "The Emperor jokes. A loss is a loss. Those two sabers of Princess Qianhua rightfully belong to the countess."

The Emperor nodded, "Since Xiliao has this tradition, I won’t say more." Then, looking at Xiao Yeyang and Daohua, he said, "You may withdraw."
