Chapter 83 He Cannot Lose

"If I can't use it, they can't either!" A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Southern Dynasty's Crown Prince, and a ruthless look quietly emerged.

Since I failed to acquire it myself, I might as well ensure that no one else gets it and no one gets to use it!

"Competitions should be based on fairness. Using such despicable means as doping is utterly shameless!" Lulu said with a hint of sympathy in her smile.

The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty nodded hastily, his face full of flattery as he echoed, "Miss Lulu is absolutely right."

After speaking, the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty picked up his teacup, using tea instead of wine, and offered a distant toast to Lulu.

Originally, he had planned that if he couldn't buy the banned drug himself, he would do everything he could to persuade Lulu to sell him one.

Now that I've failed, I'll let no one else use me. I'll just turn this mess upside down and make sure no one has a moment of peace!

"Your Highness, you're too kind." Lulu's smile was as bright as spring.

The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty felt a stirring in his heart, realizing that the more he interacted with Lulu, the more fond he became of her.

It's no wonder that the Alchemist Guild chose Lulu to be the auctioneer. Even though she can't refine pills, her keenness and wit alone are enough to make people like her.

"Miss Lulu, has the guild leader given an answer to the matter I asked?" the Southern Dynasty Crown Prince asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Lulu's eyes flashed with wariness, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled brightly, saying, "The president has been very busy lately and has no time for such trivial matters. As for the cooperation..."

At this point, Lulu deliberately raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What the Southern Dynasty lacks most is alchemists."

"And I can establish a branch of the Alchemist Guild in the Southern Dynasty."

"I just don't know if the Southern Dynasty would be willing to provide us with a venue?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Yes! Of course!"

"Please feel free to make any requests you may have, and we will do our utmost to fulfill them!"

"As long as you are willing to come, our Southern Dynasty will provide medicinal herbs and land for a branch of the Alchemist Guild free of charge. The people of our Southern Dynasty will certainly open their hearts and warmly welcome your arrival."

The Southern Dynasty crown prince was so excited that his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

As Lulu said, what the Southern Dynasty lacked most was elixirs, especially high-grade elixirs.

Every time I need to buy something, I have to go to another place to grab it.

However, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Trying to seize something good on someone else's territory is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Even if you manage to snag one, whether you can successfully bring it out is another question.

But if it's on your own turf, that's a different story.

Moreover, with the injection of the Alchemist Guild branch, it has become much more convenient for them in the Southern Dynasty to purchase pills, and their strength can be greatly improved!

After all, the power of aristocratic families should not be underestimated.

This dynasty, wasn't it originally established by relying on benevolent families?

The Southern Dynasty Crown Prince ate the meal with a beaming smile, feeling that Lulu was his lucky star, bringing him several pieces of good news in a row.

When the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty learned of this, he was so angry that he smashed everything on the table to the ground.

"Damn it! Those honors and collaborations should have belonged to me!" Crown Prince Junchao was so angry that he was practically fuming.

To be on good terms with the Alchemist Guild is something many countries dream of, and he has almost achieved it.

It's all because of that idiot Seon-yoo! Idiot!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The Crown Prince of Junchao immediately found Shan Yurou and asked her how the contact was going.

When Shan Yurou saw the Crown Prince, she was overjoyed and immediately told him that she had obtained the forbidden medicine.

She feared that even if she didn't speak up, the Crown Prince would still urge her to apologize to Shanxi, and might even have to accompany her there in person.

She had no intention of bowing down to that bitch Shanxi. Besides, could Shanxi, a good-for-nothing, have built up those connections in the Alchemist Guild? It must have been her grandfather helping her behind the scenes!

Grandpa is so biased! Whenever he gets something good, the first person he thinks of is always Shanxi!

"You got it? That's great! It's good that you got it, it's good that you got it." The Crown Prince breathed a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across his face.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "How many are there in total?"

Shan Yurou was taken aback by the question and subconsciously answered, "One."

"One?" The crown prince's face instantly darkened, and he asked angrily, "If it's just one, what am I supposed to do?"

In order to attract his father's attention and achieve merit, he made sure to put his name on the list.

"What? Crown Prince is going to compete too?" Shan Yuru was stunned again, her eyes filled with astonishment.

My brother, the Crown Prince, is of noble birth. What if something happens to him?

"Of course! As the Crown Prince, it is only right that I take the lead and be at the forefront!" the Crown Prince said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

He has been practicing extremely hard recently, and since becoming an apprentice, he has made rapid progress and achieved considerable advancements.

Otherwise, his father wouldn't have agreed to let him play.

Upon hearing this, Shan Yurou's heart tightened, and her face was filled with worry: "But Crown Prince, if anything happens to you, I..."

"Shut up! Are you jealous of my good fortune? How dare you curse me?" The Crown Prince's gaze towards Shan Yurou suddenly turned fierce, like that of an enraged lion.

He was in the prime of his life, full of pride and self-satisfaction, so how could he listen to these words?

In an instant, his gaze toward Shan Yurou grew increasingly displeased.

Shan Yurou realized she had misspoke and quickly apologized, "Your Highness, please calm down. I was just worried about your safety."

She doesn't want to marry a useless man!

She knew the Crown Prince's level, and in a competition, swords have no eyes, plus the Southern Dynasty was aggressive; they might resort to ruthless tactics, what if…

Thinking that the Southern Dynasty still had forbidden drugs, Shan Yurou quickly shirked responsibility, saying, "Brother Crown Prince, with forbidden drugs aiding the Southern Dynasty, our chances of winning are really slim."

Upon hearing this, the prince glared at her fiercely: "So, go and get another one, no, it would be better to get three."

He cannot lose, and he cannot let Junchao lose!

Upon hearing this, Shan Yurou's pupils widened instantly, as if she had seen something terrifying!

One banned drug almost killed her father; three? Wouldn't that have killed him?

“Crown Prince, I…” Before Shan Yuru could even begin to recount her hardships, the Crown Prince interrupted her: “Yuru, I believe you can do it.”

"For my future, for our future, you can definitely do it, right?" The Crown Prince held Shan Yurou's shoulders tightly, his eyes full of affection and expectation.

When Shan Yurou met the Crown Prince's deep, affectionate eyes, she momentarily forgot to explain. By the time she realized what had happened, the Crown Prince had already turned and left, leaving only the promise she had made to him echoing in her ears...

Thinking about what she had promised the Crown Prince, Shan Yurou panicked instantly, feeling as if she had lost her support, and collapsed to the ground.
