My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1836: Kill Her

That fair and delicate face, luminescent and fluttering, with its deep contours subtly tinted with a gentle haze.

That nonchalant expression, so out of place with the entire jubilant scene of the award ceremony, seemed to be watching a play detachedly, graceful yet indifferent.

Made him like a striking red bloom that suddenly appeared on a verdant, expansive grassland, so vivid it was impossible to ignore, incredibly detached yet possessing an overwhelming presence.

Let alone Jun Yiyi, who spotted him in an instant, almost everyone’s gaze in the hall fell upon that icy striking figure with amazement, stirring many hearts. Some were in awe, truly worthy of being the Councilman’s son, his presence caused that group of young talents to pale in comparison.

However, there were those who found themselves filled with envy and resentment, scoffing coldly in their hearts, growing more disgusted with this unruly guy who relied on the Councilman’s influence. Thinking, isn’t he just relying on his father’s backing to show off, nothing impressive about that. Without his dad, let’s see if he dares to be so arrogant.

Meanwhile, many of the girls had stars and hearts in their eyes, faces full of admiration and excitement, whispering about how Young Master Ling Kong became more handsome and manly after joining the battle.

Only Jun Yiyi was completely dumbfounded, breath unstable, heart pounding wildly, filled with guilty nerves.

It’s over, it’s over, she’s done for.

She crafted a huge lie to deceive him, claiming she was sick at home, yet here she was at the banquet. Oh, if he finds out, he’d certainly explode in anger and kill her.

Given his unpredictable, domineering and autocratic nature, he was definitely capable of doing just that. He didn’t seem like someone who could tolerate deceit.

Heavens, it’s over, she’s going to be quartered.

Jun Yiyi hunched up stealthily, like a greased mouse, nervously hiding behind the guests, secretly praying that he hadn’t seen her just now.

After all, the big screen on their side directly faced the empress’s large image, and they were saluting her, with all eyes focused on the empress, while she was just standing behind a bunch of nobles, showing half her tiny head, completely nonexistent, yes, yes, he absolutely couldn’t notice her.

With this thought, she felt somewhat relieved, just anxious for the video to end quickly, to avoid long nights fraught with dreams, revealing something inadvertently.

However, the empress’s conferment was the highlight of this banquet, how could it end so quickly, Jun Yiyi could only blame her own faulty head for not understanding the banquet before rushing in.

The ceremony proceeded according to Aus Empire’s traditions, the atmosphere solemn and grand, thick with the sense of history of an ancient empire.

The honors were awarded in descending order of rank, the empress offering encouragement across the screen with a few words, then the highest-ranking General would deliver the medal to the officiating officer, to be pinned on by a family member or friend.

After the first two were awarded, the empress’s deep, chilling voice complexly called out Ji Lingkong’s name.

Jun Yiyi’s heart jolted, so quickly it had come to his turn, this proved his considerable achievements this time, and that his military rank had risen significantly.

Evidently, the name Helian Ling Kong sent shockwaves among many guests present, the name Helian implied a transcendent status that was self-evident, and this young man, in such a short period, relying on his own strength, had advanced three ranks consecutively. Such ability is terrifying, like an unstoppable hawk, pressing step by step, not devour voraciously.

All the noble politicians felt an unspoken fear rising in their hearts, the Councilman was already such an unshakable presence.
