A huge cage covered with black cloth was moved over. The crowd couldn’t guess what was inside. However, Chu Liuyue could smell the light fishy scent, and she narrowed her eyes.

Rong Zhen stepped forward and pulled the cloth away.

A golden-yellow python was coiled up inside the cage. Its body was as thick as a human thigh. Its layers of pale golden scales reflected the cold lighting. Its blood-red vertical pupils were more like two sharp daggers, cruel and indifferent. It was a Golden Python, a third-grade beast.

The sudden sight of light caused it to be alert. It raised its huge head, showed its fangs, and made hissing sounds which sounded creepy.

The crowd in the palace were taken aback by the sudden revelation of this huge creature. Even Emperor Jiawen, who was seated up there, appeared to be surprised.

He then followed Rong Zhen’s line of sight and looked over. A young girl’s unfamiliar face appeared before him.

In his heart, he already knew that it was the Big Missy of the Chu family, Chu Ning’s daughterChu Liuyuewho had a marriage agreement with Rong Jin.

“Zhen Zhen, what are you doing?” asked Emperor Jiawen. “This is your brother’s birthday banquet, not the place for you to fool around.” He remembered that Chu Liuyue was born with a lacking Yuan meridian and that she was unable to cultivate for her entire life.

How was she going to handle this third-grade Golden Python? He wasn’t concerned about Chu Liuyue, but she had an existing marriage agreement with Rong Jin. It wouldn’t be good if things got ugly. Besides, if he indulged Rong Zhen with so many pairs of eyes on them, people would think that the royal family was ruthless. They would think that they treated Chu Liuyue so shabbily because she was a loser.

Instead, Rong Zhen laughed. “Father, this is my first time meeting Big Missy Chu. I like her so much that I want to give her the Golden Python that I tried extremely hard to obtain. I caught it myself. I initially wanted to keep it as a pet, but my meeting with Miss Chu is fated. I am willing to part with it, no matter how painful it is for me.”

She looked at Chu Liuyue and said, “I’m guessing that Big Chu Missy hasn’t obtained a contracted fiend yet, right?”

A few snickers came from the crowd.

What kind of contracted fiend could a good-for-nothing have?

Quite a number of eyes sarcastically landed on Chu Liuyue as they waited for a good show to start.

Rong Zhen pulled a face as though she was displeased. “What? Is it possible that Big Chu Missy doesn’t care for the Golden Python that I’m giving her?” She was the most favored true-born princess of the country. Who would dare to say they didn’t like what she was giving them?

Chu Liuyue stood up. “The Fourth Princess is so kind. I am very grateful from the bottom of my heart. Why wouldn’t I like it?”

Only then did Rong Zhen smile again. She crooked a finger at Chu Liuyue as though she was summoning a lowly servant. “Since you are so grateful to me, why don’t you come here and accept your gift?”

Chu Liuyue paused for a moment before moving forward. She first bowed to Emperor Jiawen, then she looked at Rong Zhen and bowed again. Her movements were very standardized, but they were even better executed than any of the palace’s training sisters.

All her movements were as smooth as a flowing river; it was pleasing to the eyes. Most importantly, she was carrying herself like royalty. Her disposition was more distinguished than that of the true-born princess, Rong Zhen, herself.

Despite the fact that she was wearing old clothes with frayed edges, and her small face was unpainted, she stood out more strikingly than the gorgeous Princess Rong Zhenwho had dressed with care for the occasion.

Like a pearl, she would be the first to attract everyone’s attention in any location.

Some people couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
