Chapter 94: 2nd Round (2)

Rong Jian's brow furrowed even more. 'How dare some rude bitch call my Tian'er lowly. I'll have you know she alone can ruin your whole damn country!'

Shen Tianyu just watched at the side with her arms folded, albeit her frowning lips gave away what she thought of the Junzhu's comment about her.

Rong Jian reached out his hand. Wen Ya showed a delighted and smug expression, turning her nose up to look down at Shen Tianyu on the side. She had gotten this woman's partner, and he was skilled. With her openly declaring that the woman had offended a member of the Imperial family, none of the talented would join hands with her. When the time comes, she, the Junzhu Wen Ya, would definitely win.

Unexpected for her, Rong Jian grabbed her throat and lifted her up until her feet barely touched the ground. She immediately dropped her smug expression and showed a painful and pitiful look. Her hands that were originally at her sides, grabbed at Rong Jian's arm, trying to get him to release her. But alas, Rong Jian was actually a Golden Core expert, how could a Foundation Establishment level compare? If she could, Rong Jian would be the butt of all jokes in the world. Add in the fact that Rong Jian was an experienced man who had real life combat experience, the sheltered Junzhu, who probably hasn't even met a wild demonic beast before, would not be able to beat him.

"You... why..." she managed to get out after much gagging and a few seconds of trying to get air.

"Say. That. Again." Rong Jian said through gritted teeth. "I dare you. To insult her again."

"Just... a...ugh" Wen Ya actually had the courage to start again but Rong Jian's hold tightened around her neck and choked her words.

"Do you really think, just because you're a Junzhu, I won't do anything to you?" He whispered in a threatening voice that still reached her ears.

His tone and words sent a chill down her spine and she started to struggled, really fearing that he would end her life. "Public... dare...." she tried to say this was in publicly, he actually dared to try something?

"Try. Me." He growled.

'Wow, he's gotten more protective.' Was all that went through Shen Tianyu's mind as she watched her suitor choke another woman, moreover a Second rank princess, in public. Currently, many of the remaining women in the competition had ashen faces. Those that we're here to watch also had on pale expressions. The men acted as if they didn't see it. No on really liked that Junzhu Wen Ya, but had to put up with her because of her rank Andy favor. Now that she went and infuriated someone she shouldn't, why would they stop her?

As for the women, it was good being protected by such a man, but being on the receiving end of that frightful glare was not something they wanted to experience. Many of them were also praising themselves for not being too hasty, lest the one in that Junzhu's position right now could be them.

No one was willing to come forward to help the Junzhu Wen Ya. Even her cousin brother, the Crown Prince was turning a blind eye as he talked with his newly formed partner as they walked leisurely to the registration table. The official at the registration desk was acting busy registering pairs, trying his hardest not to get involved. Both he and the Crown Prince were not dumb. In order to get to their current positions, they couldn't be or else they would hav been long dead or gone missing. Since the man had the galls to cause such a disturbance in public it must mean two things. One, he had powerful backing. Two, he had strength to back himself up. Even just one of those things could cause trouble for them so why bother for an unlikeable princess at only the second rank? Not to mention she wasn't even a direct descendant of the imperial line. Moreover, whether she would thank you for saving her later was still up in the air. She might even try to get back at you for not saving her on time.

Shen Tianyu put her hand over her mouth and yawned. She then sauntered up leisurely to Rong Jian and put a hand on the arm choking the princess. "Alright now. If you actually do kill her, it will cause trouble for us. I don't want to deal with compensation discussions." She made it clear, what she was afraid of was not the Junzhu or even the Jing Country itself, but rather the work it would take to settle it would be a bother for her.

Rong Jian glared once more at the Junzhu through his mask and let her neck go. By now, she was three steps off the ground. She also had a lack of oxygen from being choked for so long. As soon as she was let go, she fell on her behind. She then rolled over and gagged and coughed, trying to gulp in the air necessary for her body.

Rong Jian turned away without looking at her, and so did Shen Tianyu. They both walked to the registration desk to register and left, chatting merrily. As if they hadn't just almost killed a Second-rank princess of the country, whose very ground they were walking and standing on.

There wasn't a competition today and the pair matches would begin tomorrow so they had no need to stay. However, a few were starting to dislike the two for flaunting such arrogance. Not bothering to stay behind to check up on your opponents twice, wasn't that looking down on them a bit too much? If only they knew the real strength of the two, they would have keeled over from shock and fright. But since they had taught the Junzhu a lesson and because that would mean the pair themselves would be less prepared, the others didn't really mind it.
