The Yun Family's Ninth Child is an Imp!

In the next few days, Yun Chujiu would either try to gain a good impression of the old Prince and the old princess consort, or she would take a stroll on the streets. She looked rather heartless.

Zheng Shi and Princess Xi Yue snickered behind her back. This country bumpkin was indeed a glutton waiting to die. She was going to kill her sooner or later.

On this day, Yun Chujiu went to the old Princess Consort’s Courtyard to pay her respects. She found that almost all the members of the Yun family were there. She could not help but wonder, did something happen?

Yun chujiu listened for quite a while before she finally understood.

It turned out that the birthday of the Divine Phoenix was coming. According to tradition, all unmarried men and women of noble families could go to the Divine Phoenix Valley to pick the fiery fruits that the divine Phoenix liked to eat the most. In the end, they would be ranked according to the number of fiery fruits picked by each family.

This ranking was not for nothing. The imperial preceptor would reward each family with the divine Phoenix Stone according to the corresponding ranking.

It was said that the Divine Phoenix Stone was formed from the feathers shed by the Divine Phoenix. Whether it was used to refine weapons or pills, it was an extremely precious material. Therefore, every clan in the East Phoenix country attached great importance to the annual fiery fruit picking.

Yun chujiu was not interested in this. She was not willing to pick any bullsh * t fiery fruit! ! Maybe when the time came, those two little b * stards, Zheng Shi and Princess Xi Yue, would cause some trouble. If she went, wouldn’t she be walking into a trap? !

Therefore, after the old Royal Highness and the Old Consort had finished talking, she said with a smile, “Grandfather, grandmother, Can I not go? I’m such a waste. If I go, I’ll be dragging everyone down. I’ll stay at home with grandfather and grandmother!”

The corners of everyone’s eyes twitched. This fellow really knew his own limits. However, it was also true. If she went, she would have to divert her attention to take care of her. It was better not to let her go.

The old imperial consort was also worried that Yun chujiu would be in danger, so she scolded jokingly, “Since you want to be lazy, then don’t go.”

Yun chujiu beamed with joy and thanked him. She thought to herself that she would let these idiots go look for broken fruits. If she had the time, she might as well study the newly bought Talisman Seal.

Unexpectedly, three days later, in the morning, when everyone was about to set off, the imperial edict arrived. The gist of it was that because Yun Chujiu was willing to sacrifice herself to the Divine Phoenix last time, she had to go pick the fiery fruit this time.

Yun Chujiu’s heart was like a Mutt! She felt that this was definitely the imperial preceptor’s idea. How did she offend that fraud?

There was no other way. Because the incident happened so suddenly, it was too late for Hei Xinjiu to pretend to be sick. She could only follow everyone to the Divine Phoenix Valley.

The Divine Phoenix Valley was not far from an city, so everyone arrived at the Divine Phoenix Valley very quickly.

There were many onlookers outside the valley. Some were commoners, while others were nobles. Everyone’s attention was on Hei Xinjiu.

This was because everyone was riding a wildebeest, and only this one was riding a big rabbit.

Hei Xinjiu did not care about these gazes. She jumped off the big rabbit and looked around curiously.

The entrance of the Divine Phoenix Valley was foggy. It was probably not time yet, so the valley entrance was not open yet.

Just as Yun Chujiu was looking around, the fifth prince walked over. “Ninth miss, after you enter, follow me. I’ll protect you.”

Yun chujiu said indifferently, “I won’t trouble the fifth prince. It’s better for me to follow my brothers and sisters. After all, this is related to the honor of the family. I have to do my best.”

Seeing this, the fifth prince did not say anything more and turned to leave.

Yun Xi Luo, the fourth son of the Yun family, curled her lips and said sourly, “What you say is better than what you sing. When the time comes, it would be good enough if you don’t drag us down.”
