Chapter 149: Young Beast Exposed

Its eyes are as beautiful as jewels, aren't they?

At that moment, someone immediately asked.

Yes, that's right, just like jewels, quite good-looking.

Following that response, the person who had just asked widened their eyes and, at the same time, stretched out a hand, pointing directly at Yang Jun.

So, look, isn't this... this it?

This person stood beside Yang Jun, and merely upon hearing everyone's remarks, the more they looked, the more they felt it resembled, prompting them to ask.

What?

The Minister of Rites was startled and hurried over a few steps.

Yes, exactly like that, this is the cub of a ferocious beast!

Everyone hearing the Minister of Rites' words was utterly shocked.

Now, such a thing, everyone finds it unexpected.

You know, after such a description, compared to the little guy in Yang Jun's arms, aren't they exactly the same?

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Yang Jun let out a hearty laugh.

No, this is just a cat, not any ferocious beast.

Yang Jun said this, then reached out again, pressing the cub against his chest.

However, the cub is now being surrounded by onlookers, all those gazes falling upon it.

This situation makes it feel danger.

Thus, at this moment, the cub desperately poked its head out and let out a roar.

That action, that aura, is indeed astonishing.

Although the cub's sound is not loud, at this very moment, all the captured small wild beasts that were not killed all showed an intent to flee, struggling desperately.

As this situation unfolded, the scene became even more shocking.

This scene now more clearly proves what the little guy in Yang Jun's arms actually is.

Before, one could still say it was a mistaken identification.

But now, what kind of cub could possess such a kingly aura?

That single roar frightened the hundred beasts into struggling; who would not fear such power?

Now, everyone's gazes turned toward Yang Jun.

Everyone now understood many things.

No wonder this brat returned early, and in a tattered state.

That must have been a hard fight to seize the cub, meaning Yang Jun battled the Beast King, which is why this is so.

Indeed, a tiger father has no dog son!

Your Majesty's discerning eye in selecting talent is what allowed you to obtain this Prince Consort!

This is Your Majesty's beloved son-in-law, the Prince's beloved son, indeed formidable.

The officials all came to their senses, and, sparing no effort, they spoke up one after another, loudly praising Yang Jun.

Yang Jun was quite surprised; could such a thing also be patted?

But he also felt gloomy inside.

Originally intending to make a fortune quietly, the result turned out like this.

Actually, I had long seen that Heir Apparent Yang possesses talent, unhurried and composed; who could match such bearing?

Yes, yes, Heir Apparent Yang appears leisurely, which shows he has strength.

Heir Apparent Yang obtaining the cub is also a blessing upon Great Xia, heralding prosperous fortunes!

Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty; Prince Pingxi's might stabilizes the sunlit lands, Heir Apparent Yang's forceful capture of the cub—all prove they are the pillars of our Great Xia!

Zhou Tian was annoyed, his mind in turmoil.

He himself had taken first place; previously, these people had also been flattering him.

But now, these things have completely changed their appearance.

Let's look again—how is the situation now?

Most importantly, the one now receiving glory is Yang Jun, the person Zhou Tian despises and loathes most, who now actually receives splendid praise!

He himself has been relentlessly hunted by the Beast King, nearly losing his life.

Look at Yang Jun this guy—his body shows not a trace of injury.

How could he possibly obtain this cub?

Damn it, this Yang Jun must have snatched the cub while fighting the Beast King himself.

Thinking this, Zhou Tian's gloom greatly increased.

Now he is even more dissatisfied.

Such matters, to him, are increasingly unwilling to accept.

A spoiled brat, repeatedly showing off and repeatedly stealing his spotlight—what is this supposed to be!

Zhou Tian, unwilling and resentful, instinctively moved to grip the Holy Sword tightly.

But upon touching it, his face darkened—the Holy Sword was gone! He had previously forgotten this, and now he remembered again.

Congratulations, Heir Apparent Yang, obtaining this strange beast, taking the top place.

If so, then marrying the Princess of Zhu Prefecture will surely bring a solid foundation for peace and prosperity between the two states.

Another official stepped forward, and in a single sentence, everyone nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, such an arrangement is what should be.

Yang Jun now truly lives up to being the genuine first.

So, having this princess marry him is perfectly normal.

Congratulations, Young Master Yang, congratulations, Prince!

Zhou Tian now wants to cry; his already gloomy mood is made even worse.

The holy sword has flown away, and my senior sister wants to fly away too.

Lin Qingyue had already prepared to marry Zhou Tian, and she was also quite happy about it.

But who would have expected that Yang Jun would, relying on a little cat-like creature, immediately take first place?

Such a situation is too great to overturn.

Now seeing the result, it is even more shocking and unexpected.

What Lin Qingyue finds unacceptable is that she now has to marry Yang Jun?

She cannot marry Yang Jun, after all, he rejected her.

【What? I have to marry her?】

【No way, whoever marries this ill-fated princess will bring bad luck.】

【We must oppose this; it's impossible to marry.】

【Who would dare marry a woman who everywhere seeks men's help to restore her country?】

Lin Qingyue's complexion is now even uglier.

She heard Yang Jun's inner voice, saw that he didn't move his mouth, which made her certain that this was his true thought.

However, she was extremely angry inside.

You damn Yang Jun, am I a destitute princess? Am I unwanted?

These thoughts kept surging in Lin Qingyue's mind.

I am the top martial arts talent, while Zhou Tian could not obtain it.

Why do I always rely on men?

Those things were merely what I failed to achieve, done on purpose.

Lin Qingyue discovered that Yang Jun despised her, and for a moment she really wanted to hit someone.

Thank you, everyone, but I deeply love the princess.

Furthermore, I currently have no plans to take a concubine.

So this matter should be called off.

Yang Jun directly refused.

I have already considered this matter clearly, so of course I won't repeat it.

Yun Fengyun's brows tightened.

Yang Jun's performance exceeded his expectations.

He actually relied on a young beast to obtain first place.

Originally planning to marry Lin Qingyue to this guy was also normal.

After all, Lin Qingyue's status is what it is.

Moreover, I am also wary of and dissatisfied with Yang Jun.

So, when I truly need to act, I only need to find an excuse.

Just as Yang Jun colluded with Lin Qingyue, the princess of Zhu Zhou State, intending to rebel, in that case, many more matters cannot be resolved?
