During the morning court session today, did the Third Prince of Great Yan bring up the proposal of a marriage alliance to the Empress, wanting to marry me? the Little Princess said with annoyance.

Lin Beifan calmly replied, There is some truth to that, but I intervened and broke off the marriage alliance for you. I know you definitely wouldnt agree, and as your friend, Im being loyal, right?

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched the Little Princesss chubby cheek, which felt soft and bouncy. She swatted away Lin Beifans playful hand, angrily saying, That scoundrel Third Prince, how dare he have designs on me? He wants to marry me? Bah! Its like a toad lusting after swans flesh. This matter cant just be ignored!

Lin Beifan interjected, What do you want to do?

What do I want to do? The Little Princess clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, Of course, I want to give him a good lesson, let him know Im not easy to bully! Im furious, and there will be serious consequences!

Lin Beifan was surprised again, What do you have in mind?

Of course, I want to beat him up and make him cry for mercy! the Little Princess declared with determination.

Lin Beifan quickly interjected, Hold on, little princess! He is the Third Prince of Great Yan, with a special status. You cant act impulsively! Besides, he has experts protecting him, and you dont have any backup!

But if I dont take action, Ill feel unsatisfied! the Little Princess said indignantly.

Really, theres no need. He doesnt have many good years left. Dont waste your time on someone whos practically a walking corpse!

The Little Princess questioned, Huh?

Lin Beifan cleared his throat, What I mean is, havent you seen his condition? Sunken eyes, pale complexion, unsteady steps. His health seems precarious. So, you dont need to bother with him. Let him face the consequences of his own actions!

The Little Princess tilted her head and thought for a moment before nodding, He does appear weak, like hes suffering from the excesses of alcohol and indulgence! This so-called refined individual, who is actually a wastrel, dares to pursue me? Ill definitely give him a taste of his own medicine!

Lin Beifan felt relieved. Why did the Little Princess always want to resort to violence? As a girl, why was she so prone to fighting? Such impulsiveness and aggressionwouldnt it lead to trouble? Wouldnt she upset certain individuals in the background?

He asked, Lin Beifan, Ill be frank, will you help me?

The Little Princess extended her arm, bringing Lin Beifans head close, and threatened, If you help, well be good friends! If you dont help

Lin Beifans eyes lit up, What if I dont help?

If you dont help, well be blood siblings!

Lin Beifan raised an eyebrow, Hmm?

The Little Princesss small fist swung playfully in front of Lin Beifans face.

Break bones of closely related blood siblings, she stated with determination.

Lin Beifan felt a chill, Little princess, are you trying to put me in a difficult situation?

In the next moment, he leaned closer to the Little Princesss ear and whispered softly, Actually, the solution is quite simple

The Little Princess looked puzzled, Would that really work?

Lin Beifan patted his chest reassuringly, Young princess, you can confidently go ahead with that plan. It will surely leave him utterly embarrassed. Isnt that more satisfying than just throwing a few punches?

After listening to Lin Beifans advice, the Little Princess, using the pretext of bidding farewell to the Third Prince, organized a farewell feast and invited the Third Prince as well as the young scions of prominent families in the capital to attend.

The Third Prince of Great Yan had originally planned to leave, but he unexpectedly received an invitation from the Little Princess.

Thinking that he might not see her again for a long time, and with no certainty of meeting again in the future, he felt a sense of melancholy and frustration. Meeting her once before departing seemed like a good idea, so he agreed to the invitation.

The other young scions naturally wouldnt decline the Little Princesss invitation.

At the banquet, guests gathered, the lights shone brilliantly, and the table was filled with delicious food and fine wine.

The Little Princess sat quietly in the main seat, her demeanor more solemn than usual. Unlike her usual lively and mischievous self, she exuded an air of elegance similar to that of Yuxiu. Lin Beifan found it somewhat unfamiliar.

The reason for hosting this banquet is primarily to bid farewell to the Third Prince of Great Yan, Yan Xinghe. His Highness the Third Prince comes with peaceful intentions, hoping to avoid conflicts between our two nations. His admirable sincerity commands respect!

The Little Princess lifted her wine cup, her expression solemn. Therefore, let us raise our cups together and toast to His Highness the Third Prince!

The guests raised their cups in unison, saying, To His Highness the Third Prince, please!

The Third Prince also raised his cup and replied, Please.

They all emptied their cups.

After finishing the wine, the Little Princess raised her cup again and said, For the lasting friendship between our two nations, let us raise our cups once more!

For the friendship between our two nations, please!

Everyone drank another round.

As the focal point of the banquet, the Third Prince was frequently toasted by the Little Princess and other guests. The Third Prince was accustomed to such occasions and didnt refuse anyone, drinking heartily.

Others followed suit.

With everyone a little tipsy, the conversation flowed freely.

At this point, the Little Princess curiously asked, Third Prince, its said that you have a mysterious Daoist named Kongxu (Empty Void) in Great Yan, who has successfully concocted the legendary Divine Pill, the Divine Enlightenment Pill. After consuming it, ones soul can transcend the ordinary and freely traverse between heaven and earth, even engaging in conversations with celestial beings. Is there any truth to this?

Under everyones gaze, the Third Prince responded with a touch of pride, Indeed, it is true! That Daoist is truly remarkable. He has concocted pills that I, as a wealthy individual, frequently consume, and the effects are indeed as youve described!

Regretfully, the Little Princess said, That Empty Void Daoist once visited our kingdom, but unfortunately, he only stayed for a few days before leaving. I had no chance to meet him! As for those legendary Divine Pills, Ive only heard the name and havent seen the actual medicine. Its quite regrettable.

Yes, that Daoist did come to our kingdom of Great Wu as well, but he left after only a few days.

I was even planning to ask Empty Void Daoist for a few Divine Enlightenment Pills, but I never got the opportunity!

Now hes gone to Great Yan!

Great Yan is in luck!

His Highness is fortunate to consume the Divine Enlightenment Pill!

Amidst the admiring and envious gazes of the crowd, the Third Prince became even more pleased with himself, losing himself in the moment.

The Little Princess asked once more, Third Prince, does the Divine Enlightenment Pill truly possess such miraculous effects? Do you have any pills with you? Could you show us and broaden our horizons?

Yes, Your Highness, could you show us?

Its truly piquing our curiosity!

Your Highness, please grant us the opportunity!

Of course, please take a look!

The Third Prince carefully took out a small bottle from his pocket and placed a pill onto an exquisite plate. He passed it around, allowing everyone present to examine it. This is it truly the Divine Enlightenment Pill?

It looks so ordinary and plain, without any remarkable features.

Does it truly possess such miraculous effects?

The Third Prince was stirred up and exclaimed loudly, Indeed, this is the Divine Enlightenment Pill that can elevate the soul! As the saying goes, Seeing is believing. Since everyone is so interested, Ill consume it to demonstrate! With that, he picked up the pill and brought it to his mouth.

Lin Beifan, observing from the sidelines, smirked in amusement. Already in an excited state from the drinks, being further stimulated by the pill would surely lead to even more excitement. It seemed he was anticipating some unpredictable actions.

Next, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Third Prince, after ingesting the pill, stood up. His eyes closed, his complexion rosy, his steps ethereal, and he seemed to mutter to himself, displaying the appearance of having elevated his spiritual perception. The onlookers were astoundedhad the Third Prince truly elevated his souls perception and begun to transcend the mundane realm?

Just as everyone was taken aback, the Third Prince suddenly exclaimed, Sister Fairy, dont go! I miss you

And just like that, he reached out, but only grabbed air. The people present were left bewildered.

Third Prince, what happened?

Why did he suddenly reach out like that?

Is he under some kind of spell?

In an instant, the Third Prince turned around again, his eyes still shut. Playfully, he said, Sister Fairy, dont be so mischievous! Come here quickly. Im prepared!

And then, he suddenly lunged again, but grabbed nothing but air once more. The crowd remained dumbfounded.

Third Prince, what is he doing now?

Sister Fairy? Could it be that His Highness is seeing the legendary celestial maiden, so hes overly excited?

Is that just excitement? Clearly, its a lack of self-control!

Once more, the Third Prince turned around with a smile that was even more lecherous. Sister Fairy, youre so naughty! But this time, I wont let you get away!

Saying this, he lunged once again.

However, this time, he didnt lunge into emptiness; instead, he collided with a table and chair, causing a mess as cups and plates crashed to the ground, spilling drinks.

Nearby guests quickly rushed to help the Third Prince. Your Highness, are you alright?

At that moment, the Third Prince unexpectedly embraced one of the guests tightly and chuckled, Sister Fairy, I finally caught you! Lets see how you can escape now. How can you escape hahaha

Then, he acted quite shamelessly and gave a somewhat inappropriate kiss.

Damn it! Everyone present was utterly shocked. Because he had just

Kissed a man!

A purebred gentleman!!!

This scene was truly far too unconventional!

Too stimulating!

Ah!!!

In the end, the Third Prince was hastily escorted away by his attendants, leaving behind the spectacle of the Third Prince displaying spiritual perception and concocting a ridiculous excuse involving an evil presence. They urged everyone not to spread word of this incident. Naturally, the banquet came to an end on a rather awkward note.

Although people were warned not to spread the story, news of the Third Princes actions during the banquet quickly circulated throughout the capital city, becoming the talk of the town.
