Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 372 - The Revitalized Hope

Chapter 372: The Revitalized Hope

In fact, from the emperor at the top to the hundreds of officials at the bottom, no one in Nan Xia Country had any hopes of them becoming the champion. Being able to fight for fourth place was their greatest hope, but what if Ling Chuxi and the rest had been hurt by Wan Chuan Country’s subordinate today? There would have been no hope of even getting fourth place then. How could he return to the emperor to take responsibility for it?

Seeing that the crisis had ended, the envoy had quickly jumped down from his carriage and ran over.

“Nan Xia Country! Hmph. If you dare cause trouble in the capital of Ding Lin Country next time, I will not let you off lightly.” After hearing that they were citizens of Nan Xia Country, Commander Fang’s uneasy feeling instantly faded and he looked at them in disdain. It was as if he had become an entirely different person compared to when he had confronted the party from Wan Chuan Country.

Commander Fang did not pay any more attention to them after that, and led his guards away.

Ling Chuxi and the rest were stung by his expression and dismissal. Was this the difference between a Tier 2 and a Tier 5 va.s.sal country? Even an insignificant commander had such disdain towards Nan Xia Country.

“Miss Ling, why did you guys provoke Wan Chuan Country? What if you all got into trouble? Our hopes of getting fourth place would be destroyed! Even if you are not worried about yourself, at least worry about the national prestige of Nan Xia Country and the future of millions of common people. Do you all know how big the difference between tributes for a Tier 4 and Tier 5 va.s.sal country is? If we can become a Tier 4 va.s.sal country, the lives of the common people would be a hundred times better than what it is today,” the envoy wailed in anguish, still having a lingering fear in his heart.

“Could it be that your goal is just to become a Tier 4 va.s.sal country?” Ling Chuxi frowned slightly.

Ling Chuxi sighed silently. Even Nan Xia Country’s own officials looked down on themselves, what more the other countries? If she wasn’t mistaken, those were the emperor’s thoughts as well.

“If we have the ability, who wouldn’t want to be a Tier 1 va.s.sal country? But the problem is….” The envoy trailed off helplessly.

Ling Chuxi could see his despair. Among the five countries, even Dong Xin Country in fourth place had an ancient family clan like the Xiao Family who used the Turning Cloud Gesture to increase their ability in combat. Comparatively, Nan Xia Country’s cultivation was indeed much weaker.

“Our target this time is to become a Tier 1 va.s.sal country,” Ling Chuxi said firmly to the envoy. However, she had another sentence in her heart which she did not say out loud: ‘And in the future, our target is to become a strong country like Ding Lin Country. Even Ding Lin Country will submit to Nan Xia Country one day.’

“Huh?” The envoy stared at Ling Chuxi as if he had never seen her before. It was fortunate that Ling Chuxi did not utter the words in her heart, or the envoy might have fainted on the spot from shock.

If he had heard these words in the past, the envoy himself would have scoffed, but the confidence in Ling Chuxi’s eyes shone clear. Hope burned in his heart like never before. It felt like if she said it, it would definitely come true. All they needed to do was endure the journey to get there.

“Miss Ling, is what you said true?” Li Shaoqiu was delighted and looked at Ling Chuxi adoringly. After the martial arts compet.i.tion, Ling Chuxi had become a target of admiration of many young men in the capital, and she was now their hope of revitalizing Nan Xia Country too.

Ling Chuxi nodded solemnly. Ling Yichen and Baili Han looked equally determined.

“I believe in you, Miss Ling! You all can definitely do it. This time, Nan Xia Country will definitely be a Tier 1 va.s.sal country!” Li Shaoqiu clenched his fist tightly, a look of excitement on his face.
