The mention of "fiancé" was all it took for Zi Lingling's anger to surge. This anger wasn't solely for herself, but also for the poor original owner of this body.
These two scumbags had often used such methods to provoke the original owner. Now, they dared to bully her, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, themselves. It was beyond unbearable!
"Hmph!"
Zi Lingling snorted contemptuously. "Fiancé? Does he deserve it?"
Zi Jinling was startled. She clearly hadn't expected Zi Lingling to say such a thing.
It was truly strange. This good-for-nothing used to be so timid and submissive, always crying. When had she become so sharp?
But it was good. If she angered the Crown Prince, she, Zi Jinling, could reap the benefits.
Ye Yuanhao's already ashen face darkened even further, like ink.
He, the dignified Crown Prince of a nation, felt it was a disgrace to be betrothed to this useless Zi Lingling.
Moreover, he was a renowned cultivation prodigy in Tianqi. Having a marriage contract with Zi Lingling, a good-for-nothing, was already a blessing from heaven for the Zi family, a result of eight lifetimes of good karma!
Now, this useless girl actually said that he, the Crown Prince, wasn't good enough for her. This was blatant insult.
Ye Yuanhao's eyes turned sinister, and his spiritual energy began to fluctuate. He said sternly, "Useless girl, dare you say that again!"
Zi Lingling sneered, "So what if I say it again? Don't think you're so high and mighty just because you're some damned Crown Prince. Hmph! Don't talk about you looking down on me, I don't even look at you!"
When it came to sharp tongues, apart from Ye Lingyuan, Zi Lingling had never met an opponent.
"You... you... you are very good!"
Ye Yuanhao gritted his teeth.
He exuded a dangerous aura. Although he was restraining himself from taking action, the chaotic spiritual energy around him betrayed his anger.
"I am very good. I don't need the Crown Prince's concern!"
Zi Lingling retorted infuriatingly.
Ye Yuanhao and Zi Jinling had caused the original owner's death. She was merely collecting some interest for the original owner now.
"You..."
Ye Yuanhao clenched his fists, veins bulging on the back of his hands, like a leopard ready to pounce and injure someone at any moment.
Zi Jinling had been leaning in Ye Yuanhao's arms and naturally felt him trembling with anger.
A smug smile flickered in her eyes.
Although the current situation was exactly as she wished, the time wasn't quite right. Therefore, she decided to add more fuel to the fire.
She then, with teary eyes, tugged at Ye Yuanhao's arm and said weakly, "Your Highness, please don't take it to heart with Third Sister. She's blinded by jealousy and speaking nonsense."
Ye Yuanhao sneered, "Jealousy? Nonsense? I think she's perfectly clear-headed!"
Zi Lingling also looked at Zi Jinling with a cold smile. "Second Sister, stop pretending. You and I both know what's in your heart."
Zi Jinling looked at Zi Lingling with a wronged expression, tears welling up. "Third Sister, I'm not pretending, I'm not..."
Zi Lingling looked at her with a cold smile, too lazy to argue.
Seeing that Zi Lingling ignored her, Zi Jinling tugged at Ye Yuanhao's arm again, her eyes glistening with tears. "Your Highness, don't be angry with Third Sister. Since Third Sister doesn't like us being together, then let's separate!"
As she spoke, she tried to move away from Ye Yuanhao's embrace.
Ye Yuanhao, in his haste, grabbed her.
When he saw Zi Jinling's tear-streaked face, he felt immense heartache.
Ye Yuanhao forcefully pulled Zi Jinling's hand, and she was pulled back into his chest.
"Jin'er, what are you talking about! Without my permission, you are not allowed to speak of separation again."
"Your Highness, but..."
Zi Jinling looked at Ye Yuanhao with teary eyes, her gaze drifting towards Zi Lingling.
Ye Yuanhao lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him, and said gently, "Jin'er, there are no buts!"
"Mmm."
Zi Jinling nodded and nestled into Ye Yuanhao's embrace, rubbing against his chest.
Zi Lingling watched their intimate display, feeling so disgusted she could almost vomit.
After Ye Yuanhao comforted Zi Jinling, he glared at Zi Lingling and said, "Useless girl, can't you learn more from your elder sister? Don't always act like a jealous shrew!"
Zi Lingling: "..."
Learn from Zi Jinling? Learn how to be a white lotus?
"Today, for your Second Sister's sake, I won't hold your disrespect against me!"
Zi Lingling: "..."
He won't hold it against me? I still hold it against him! Otherwise, how can the original owner's spirit rest in peace?
"As for our engagement, as long as you behave yourself, the contract will remain valid! Otherwise, I don't mind divorcing you!"
Zi Lingling: "..."
Behave myself? Is it considered behaving myself to silently watch you fool around with Zi Jinling, this white lotus?
Ye Yuanhao's words were full of threats, but he forgot that Zi Lingling had already made her stance clear.
Zi Lingling was utterly speechless. She felt it was an insult to her intelligence to even argue with Ye Yuanhao.
She propped her forehead and said with a sarcastic laugh, "Crown Prince, narcissism is a disease, it needs treatment! Stupidity is an even more serious illness, it needs treatment more!"
Ye Yuanhao was stunned. His face, which had just cleared slightly, turned cold again. "What do you mean?"
Zi Lingling sneered, "Tsk tsk tsk! It seems the illness is indeed serious. You can't even understand such simple words. How did His Highness the Crown Prince ascend to the throne?"
Ye Yuanhao's expression became extremely unpleasant.
"You... you truly don't know what's good for you! I decided to give you a chance to mend your ways for Jin'er's sake, but you haven't changed, completely wasting Jin'er's good intentions."
Zi Lingling sneered, "Mend my ways? Chance? Good intentions? I don't care for any of it!"
"You..."
Ye Yuanhao was choked, unable to speak.
Zi Lingling's imposing aura suddenly spread out. "What 'you'! I'll say it again. Please disappear from the Falling Rain Pavilion immediately, right now, in the most graceful way possible!"
Ye Yuanhao could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. He shouted, "Useless girl, since you are so ungrateful, then I will divorce you today!"
A flicker of joy flashed in Zi Jinling's eyes. This was the outcome she had long awaited.
Zi Lingling said coldly, "Fine! But it's not you divorcing me, it's me divorcing you!"
With that, she didn't wait for Ye Yuanhao to recover. She tore off a piece of her white undergarment, bit her finger, and wrote a divorce letter.
"Heaven and Earth as witness! Today, Zi Lingling's fiancé, Ye Yuanhao, committed fornication with another while unmarried. This is an offense to gods and ghosts, and an outrage against the principles of heaven! Therefore, I, Zi Lingling, offer my blood as a sacrifice to heaven, only seeking to divorce my husband, and pray for heaven and earth's compassion!"
