Chapter 318
Clipping toenails? What does that mean?
The people present were stunned for a moment, feeling slightly puzzled.
But the next moment, when they saw Xu Que holding a strange little gadget and "click," clipping a small piece of nail off his toenail, everyone almost spat out a mouthful of old blood!
Damn, he's actually really clipping his toenails!
Big brother, you're awesome, you're trimming your toenails at a time like this? But can you look at the occasion!
This is the Imperial Mausoleum trial, a trial that even the Emperor and the Empress Dowager value, and you're actually clipping your nails?
The Seventh Princess was also stunned.
Originally, Xu Que was still disdainfully criticizing those people for being too pretentious, but in the blink of an eye, he actually came up with something like this, clipping his toenails in public!
It was also fortunate that most people had already rushed down the mountain, and the attention of the Golden Emperor and others was focused on the bottom of the mountain, paying attention to those heavenly prides, and they were not looking toward the Third Prince's side. Otherwise, if they had seen Xu Que's actions, they would probably have been driven mad on the spot.
"Young... Young Master Xu, this is unseemly!" the Seventh Princess said anxiously, while taking a step forward to block him from being seen by others.
The Third Prince and the others also gathered around one after another, helping to block the view, their mouths twitching repeatedly.
After all, this was truly unseemly. If the Emperor saw it, he might get angry, or even leave a bad impression, affecting the Third Prince's competition for the Crown Prince position!
"Xu Que, can you stop doing this kind of thing?"
"How can you do something like trimming toenails in public?"
"It's too unseemly!"
"Put it away quickly. After the trial ends, I will personally arrange for a few women to help you trim your nails!" the Third Prince promised solemnly.
Xu Que's eyebrows immediately raised, full of interest: "Besides trimming nails, are there any special services?"
"Special services? What do you mean?" The Third Prince was bewildered.
"We're all men, you know what I mean!"
Xu Que winked.
Several princes were all confused and extremely puzzled; if you don't say it, we don't understand!
"Sigh, forget it, you guys are too naive. Fine, I've already finished clipping, watch my performance well!"
Xu Que shook his head with a smile, stood up, and put the nail clipper away. At the same time, the Acting Cool Points in the system interface also rose quite a bit.
Seeing Xu Que stop, the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master Xu, I wonder what kind of Divine Steed you will use this time?" the Seventh Princess asked with anticipation.
She had received news that Xu Que had once driven a yellow Divine Steed during the Sword Tomb trial, and finally transformed into an iron-armored man, which was very powerful, so she wanted to witness it with her own eyes.
However, Xu Que's Bumblebee had long since expired!
When it was drawn from the "King of Acting Cool Gift Pack," Bumblebee started a three-day countdown, and today was the fourth day, so it couldn't be used at all!
Although Xu Que also felt very regretful, there was no way; this system was destined to be a profiteer!
So now... what car should I use?
Xu Que fell into deep thought, summoned the system mall interface, and looked at the dazzling array of mechanical options on it, his face full of struggle.
For road conditions with many curves like this, the sports cars that could be chosen were truly limited. After all, many factors had to be considered, and it was best if they could be modified.
At this time, the Third Prince saw that Xu Que had been silent and looked troubled, so he couldn't help but say: "Xu Que, if your Divine Steed cannot be used, I can gift you a high-grade Divine Steed!"
"No need! I'm not used to the Divine Steeds of your country!" Xu Que immediately waved his hand and continued to focus on the system mall interface, flipping through it page by page.
The Third Prince was speechless and exchanged glances with the Seventh Princess and the others!
At this time, all the participating cultivators at the bottom of the mountain had gathered, almost all of them driving their own Divine Steeds, lined up in formation, and many guards and eunuchs were responsible for managing order!
Seeing that the competition was about to begin, the Seventh Princess and the Third Prince and others became increasingly anxious.
"Young Master Xu, are you ready?" the Seventh Princess asked softly.
Xu Que's expression suddenly froze, staring at the system interface, his eyes shining repeatedly!
"Finally found it, the upgraded version of the AE86!"
The corners of his mouth lifted, revealing a full smile. He swept his gaze toward the Seventh Princess and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess! This King of Racing has secured the first place in this trial!"
After saying this, Xu Que turned around abruptly, a wisp of electric arc flashed under his feet, and his figure instantly rushed toward the foot of the mountain!
"Uh..."
The Seventh Princess was slightly stunned, not having reacted in time.
Several princes were also somewhat bewildered.
"Did he just say... he wants to take first place in this trial?"
"No way, he's joking, right?"
"Where did this confidence come from? If there weren't heavenly prides like Zhang Juwang and Qi Yunfei, perhaps there would be hope, but unfortunately..."
"Forget it, I hope he can perform steadily. I don't ask for top three, as long as he can get into the top five!"
"That's right, as long as he gets into the top five, we'll let others work harder in the later stages. This competition still has great hope!"
After the princes finished speaking, they all nodded slightly.
The Seventh Princess remained silent. Although she believed that Xu Que did have strength, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, so she was ultimately a bit unsure.
Plus, the people who came to participate in the Divine Steed competition today were truly too strong. She never expected that the other princes would have such great ability, actually being able to invite experts like Zhang Juwang and Qi Yunfei!
This situation far exceeded their previous expectations!
Therefore, they had indeed made plans today: as long as Xu Que could enter the top five, the Third Prince would still have hope of competing for the Crown Prince position!
"Boom!"
At this moment, Xu Que had already landed at the foot of the mountain, without attracting much attention!
But the next moment, when he redeemed a brand-new sedan from the mall and it landed beside him, all eyes in the audience instantly gathered on him.
Among a pile of Divine Steeds, the sudden appearance of such a delicately shaped car was indeed very eye-catching!
And what Xu Que rented this time was the AE86, the true ride of Fujiwara Takumi, with a body dominated by white car paint, matched with some black for embellishment, looking full of style!
However, what Xu Que redeemed was a modified AE86, which had changed to a racing engine, so the hood was also changed to black paint!
Once this car appeared, it was absolutely enough to dominate the whole scene!
Many people were curiously and strangely examining it, discussing it in whispers.
Even the Emperor of the Golden Origin Country was alarmed, showing a look of surprise, looking at Xu Que and his AE86 with great interest!
Not far away, a eunuch also looked over, and after seeing Xu Que's face clearly, he was shocked!
It's him! It's definitely him!
This handsome face, even if it turned to ashes, it would be impossible not to recognize it!
Immediately, the eunuch's divine sense moved, and he transmitted his voice to the Empress Dowager: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, this servant has found that bold and reckless lecher!"
"Oh? Where is he?" The Empress Dowager's mature and majestic voice immediately came!
The eunuch immediately responded: "Empress Dowager, look, it's him, that handsome young man standing next to the strange white Divine Steed!"
