Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Shen Yunxi smiled wickedly, a hint of amusement in her eyes and brows. Her crimson lips parted slightly: "What do you think..." She tilted her head slightly, gently pushing the dagger forward, the sharp tip almost piercing Xiao Chuhuang's delicate skin. "If I use a little more force, will your proud head roll to the ground with a thud?"

She paused, then said in a chilling tone, "Tell me, by then, will you still be able to continue being arrogant?"

Before Shen Yunxi could finish speaking, several powerful pressures pressed down on her like mountains, causing her to catch her breath. She steadied herself, looked up at the pale-faced Xiao Chuhuang, and curled her lips into a mocking smile, saying sarcastically, "What, you can't beat them, so you call for help?"

Xiao Chuhuang froze, too afraid to move. The chill of the dagger seeped into her skin, and a slight stinging sensation made her realize that death was imminent.

She had no doubt that this seemingly frail woman had the courage and ability to take her life.

However, her pride as a royal princess wouldn't allow her to bow her head before anyone, especially not before this opponent who had just made her lose face.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her fear, and with all her might to remain calm, she shouted sharply, "All of you, get out of my way!"

"your Highness!"

The group landed beside Xiao Chuhuang, looking at her with great concern and calling out.

They were the secret guards carefully selected by the Emperor of Beiyuan, who remained hidden in the shadows year-round, responsible for protecting Princess Nihuang's safety. Their lives were inextricably linked to the princess's well-being.

If anything were to happen to the princess, they would face a punishment far worse than death.

Therefore, even though they were burning with anxiety, they dared not act rashly in the face of the princess's rebuke. They could only channel their anger into sharp gazes and glare fiercely at Shen Yunxi.

His gaze was filled with resentment and anger, as if Shen Yunxi had dug up their ancestral graves.

"Let me go!" Xiao Chuhuang's voice trembled with extreme anger, but she still forced herself to maintain royal dignity and said sternly, "What kind of hero are you! If you have the guts, fight me fair and square!"

She gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "Summon your soul beast, and let's have a good fight!"

"I'm no hero to begin with." Shen Yunxi's lips curled up, but she also cooperatively put down the dagger, saying with a half-smile, "But, do you still have the strength to fight me now?"

"What?" Xiao Chuhuang's eyes widened in disbelief as she gasped. She instinctively tried to mobilize her soul power, but her fingertips were empty; she couldn't muster a single ounce of strength. Within her dantian, the once abundant soul power had vanished like dried-up well water. She was horrified to discover that she was now like a useless cripple, unable to cultivate, completely at the mercy of others.

"What did you do to me?" Xiao Chuhuang's voice trembled slightly with fear, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of her chest.

She felt an unprecedented panic, as if she had fallen into a cold abyss, and a sense of helplessness enveloped her.

But she forced herself to remain calm, her proud head slightly raised, not allowing herself to show the slightest cowardice in front of Shen Yunxi.

"I didn't do anything." Shen Yunxi said casually, as if she had only done a trivial matter. She stared at Xiao Chuhuang with a half-smile, a barely perceptible cold light flashing deep in her eyes.
