This is quite unusual, because although the royal city captured a few humans recently, they were all men, and she had never seen a female human before!
"What? Do you intend to slight my lord? Let me tell you, my lord is of noble status. If you displease my lord, I'll tear down your Happy Pavilion!" Niu Quan roared angrily when he heard the minotaur woman say no.
"Your Highness, I dare not neglect you, but my top courtesan, Miss Nuoyan, has already been reserved by Prince Hei San. It's really..." the Minotaur woman said. In fact, she looked down on Gu Yu from the bottom of her heart. The royal family of the Second Cone was nothing, but she could not offend Gu Yu, so she could only bring up Prince Hei San.
"Third Prince Hei." Niu Quan murmured upon hearing the Minotaur woman's words, his expression shifting.
"Who is Prince Hei San?" Gu Yu suddenly asked.
Upon hearing Gu Yu's question, a subtle look of disdain flashed in the minotaur woman's eyes, but she concealed it well.
“Your Highness, you may not know this, but the Third Prince Hei is the number one person in the royal city. He is 25 years old and at the peak of the Commander Realm. His talent is even higher than that of the current Crown Prince. It is said that the current King of the royal city has always had the idea of deposing the Crown Prince and making the Third Prince Hei the Crown Prince.” Niu Quan whispered in Gu Yu’s ear.
"25 years old, peak of the Commander Realm." Gu Yu frowned. This talent was simply unmatched among humans. Dugu Xing was already thirty years old. Although his combat strength was enough to fight against a Commander Realm expert, he was definitely no match for a Commander Realm expert in a one-on-one fight. Yet, he was already the most monstrous talent among humans.
“Your Highness, if you had recovered your cultivation, you wouldn’t need to fear the Third Prince Hei, but now…” Niu Quan said again in a low voice.
"Yes! I understand." Gu Yu nodded. He couldn't afford to offend this Third Prince Hei right now, even if he was at the peak of the Commander Realm. He had a powerful background, while Gu Yu was all alone, and most importantly, he was a fake.
“Alright, arrange a room for our Highness. Since that royal woman won’t do, we’ll find another semi-royal woman, a good one at that,” Niu Quan said to the minotaur woman again.
“That won’t work either.” The minotaur woman said. She now suspected that Gu Yu was a descendant of a fallen royal family, and a descendant of a fallen royal family was not worthy at all.
"What did you say?" Niu Quan was furious when he heard the minotaur woman's words. If a royal woman was not acceptable, then a semi-royal woman was not acceptable either. This was clearly disrespecting Gu Yu. Niu Quan wasn't stupid. This woman must be looking down on Gu Yu because of his low cultivation level.
“You are disrespecting my lord. Let me tell you, my lord’s cultivation level has dropped because he used a secret technique. Once my lord recovers his cultivation, he will make you pay,” Niu Quan said, pointing at the minotaur woman.
"Use a secret technique?" The minotaur woman was stunned. Some secret techniques could indeed cause a decrease in cultivation level, but how many royals knew them? Secret techniques were secret because they were very rare, and some fallen royals liked to boast in order to deceive people. The person she suspected Gu Yu was such a person, while Niu Quan was a fool.
Gu Yu frowned as he noticed the way the Minotaur woman was scrutinizing him.
"It seems you have some doubts about me. Very well, then I'll let you experience my wrath." The next second, Gu Yu suddenly threw a punch, and a terrifying force swept towards the minotaur woman.
Gu Yu wasn't really angry, but as a member of the royal family, if he didn't get angry, wouldn't that prove he was guilty and that his identity was fake?
The Minotaur woman looked at Gu Yu's fist with disdain. She was the manager of the Happy Pavilion and had a cultivation level of four cones. Gu Yu, on the other hand, was only at the second cone level. How dare he attack her? Even if he was a member of the royal family, what could a fallen royal family do to her?
But as soon as she reached out to defend herself, she regretted it. It was true that Gu Yu's aura was indeed at the peak of the second cone, but he was using the power of gods and demons, which could resist the peak of the fifth cone. How could a minotaur woman resist that?
The next second, the minotaur woman was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood and smashing the bench behind her to pieces.
“This…” Niu Quan was shocked by what he saw. Gu Yu’s cultivation level was only at the second level! Yet he injured a fourth-level cultivator with a single punch. The royal family was indeed the royal family. Even though their cultivation level was damaged due to the secret technique, they were still incredibly powerful.
The minotaur woman's eyes widened in disbelief. It wasn't unusual for royalty to be able to skip ranks, but were there any who could skip so many ranks? She had never seen one.
Could it be that his cultivation was really damaged because he used a secret technique? She was starting to believe it! But if that were the case, wouldn't she have committed a terrible crime and offended a royal genius? Heavens! She wouldn't have enough lives to withstand his revenge.
"Your Highness, I was blind and offended you. Please forgive my rudeness," the minotaur woman pleaded immediately.
"Hmph!" Gu Yu snorted coldly. This person only responds to gentle persuasion and not force. It seems he needs to be more arrogant. The more arrogant he is, the less likely anyone will suspect his identity. "Niu Quan, she's yours to deal with. She's a dirty thing and doesn't deserve my attention."
"Your Highness, please calm down." Just then, another Minotaur woman came out, but unlike the previous one, this one looked more human and was a half-royal. "My name is Lianxiang. My Miss Nuoyan invites you to her room for a chat."
"Hmph!" Gu Yu snorted coldly again, glancing at Lian Xiang with icy eyes. "A young lady from a fallen royal family, instead of coming down to greet me personally, expects me to come up to her. Does she deserve it?"
"Uh!" Lianxiang was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Yu to be so arrogant. Even if the Third Prince Hei came, he would have to go up in person instead of Miss Nuoyan coming down to greet him. This made her slightly angry. However, she couldn't be sure of Gu Yu's identity. There were many royals, but there were also different levels of status within the royal family. The level of status depended on the strength of the royal realm members.
"Your Highness, we have failed to entertain you properly and have neglected you. Please forgive us," Lianxiang said again, bowing humbly.
"Hmph! Calm down. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? If my attendants hadn't been killed by those damned humans, and if I hadn't damaged my cultivation by using a secret technique, I would have already razed this Joyful Pavilion to the ground." Gu Yu said, each word dripping with domineering arrogance.
"Who dares to demolish the Joyful Pavilion? They are truly arrogant. Don't they know that the Joyful Pavilion is under my protection?" Just then, a member of the Minotaur royal family walked in, his face full of anger.
"Your Highness, Third Prince Hei." Upon seeing the newcomer, Lianxiang's face lit up with joy. No matter how powerful your backing is, in Black Bull Royal City, it cannot compare to His Highness, Third Prince Hei.
"Third Prince Hei." Upon hearing this, Gu Yu frowned. He had already planned to stay away from Hei San, but the man had come looking for him anyway...
When soldiers come, we will meet them head-on; when water comes, we will dam it. If he were to back down now, wouldn't that mean his status wasn't as noble as he thought? Besides, how could Gu Yu possibly back down to a foreign race?
"Black Three, is it! Today I'm going to tear down this Happy Building. I want to see what you can do to me!" Gu Yu turned around and looked at Black Three.
"A human woman?" When the Third Prince of the Black Sect saw Ri Jiu with her arm around Gu Yu's waist after he turned around, he was stunned and shocked. Then he came to his senses and his eyes began to look greedy and lewd.
"Hmph! She is mine! If you dare to look at my prey like that again, I will gouge out your eyes." Gu Yu was now a little angry, which made Ri Jiu, who was being held by his waist, look happy. She hugged his waist with both hands and looked very dependent.
"Did you capture her?" Hearing Gu Yu's words, the Third Prince Hei was not angry, but pointed at Ri Jiu and asked Gu Yu.
"Hmph! Could it be that you were the one who caught it?" Gu Yu said coldly.
Hearing Gu Yu's words, Hei San's eyes widened again. Human women were not easy to capture! He knew this all too well. He had tried many methods to capture a human woman and lost many of his subordinates, but he was killed before he even saw a hair on her head.
But this stranger in front of him had actually captured a human woman. How could he not be shocked? Moreover, this woman was simply stunning. She was petite and charming, with a touch of allure, especially her eyes, which were absolutely captivating.
At this moment, he felt that Gu Yu was not simple. Someone who could capture a human woman and do things that he couldn't do, could he be simple?
"I wonder which royal family you come from?" the Third Prince asked with some curiosity.
His royal family, to which Hei San belonged, was already the most powerful in the Black Bull Kingdom. However, if compared to other families, there were others among the entire Minotaur race who were stronger than his royal family, but none were more powerful than him.
"Hehe..." Gu Yu sneered when he heard Hei San's question, unaware that he was feeling flustered. Which royal family did he come from? How would he know? He didn't even know which royal families the Minotaur race had. How could he answer?
"My family is afraid that we, the younger generation, will take advantage of our family's power to do evil and become complacent. Therefore, we are absolutely not allowed to reveal our family name until we reach the King Realm," Gu Yu said after thinking for a long time.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, the Third Prince of Black frowned. It seemed that there was a royal family on the Minotaur side that really had this requirement for their members, and that family was ridiculously strong. They had three members at the Royal Realm, ranking among the top in the entire Minotaur royal family.
Could it be that Gu Yu belongs to that family? It's not impossible.
Seeing what the Third Prince was thinking, Gu Yu broke out in a cold sweat. Had he been discovered?
“I see! Since it’s a request from your family, then I, Hei San, will not dare to ask any further. However, since you have come to my Black Bull Royal City, and I, Hei San, am a prince of the Black Bull Royal City, I should do my best to be a good host.” Hei San suddenly cupped his hands towards Gu Yu and said, his tone full of politeness.
Hearing Hei San's words, Gu Yu was stunned. Holy crap! The Minotaur race really is stupid. Are they that easy to fool? If I had known this, why would I have been worried?
"Fine, but Huan Kuai Lou has been disrespectful to me. They need to be taught a lesson, otherwise, if word gets out, everyone will think I'm easy to bully," Gu Yu said coldly. Although Hei San had become more polite, he absolutely could not back down. His assertiveness was necessary to make Hei San even more convinced of his ideas.
At this moment, Lianxiang and the minotaur woman who had been injured by Gu Yu suddenly looked extremely ugly. Who would have thought that they would encounter someone they really couldn't afford to offend today, and the worst part was that they had offended him.
In particular, the attitude of the Third Prince made them feel that Gu Yu's status might be higher than that of the Third Prince.
“Brother, Huan Kuai Lou neglected you, it was their fault. How about this? Give me some face, let's just teach them a lesson, no need to tear down this building.” Hei San said to Gu Yu in a low voice. Why in a low voice? Hei San also cared about his reputation. If he spoke loudly and others heard him, that would be terrible. Hei San would be seen by everyone as inferior to Gu Yu.
Niu Quan was overjoyed. He had always wanted to capture a human woman to please Hei San, but unexpectedly, instead of pleasing Hei San, he encountered someone even more powerful than Hei San. Niu Quan was really going to be rich! Good heavens, now let's see who will look down on him, Niu Quan.
“Then I’ll give you face. But since I said she’s to be handed over to my attendant, then she must be handed over to my attendant,” Gu Yu said, not afraid of being overheard, and spoke even louder.
Little did he know that his words only excited Niu Quan even more.
"Your Highness, I, Niu Quan, am willing to go through fire and water for you for generations," Niu Quan said excitedly.
"Your Highnesses, it was Huan Kuai Lou that neglected this princess. However, could you please give Nuo Yan some face and forgive her this time?" At this moment, a Minotaur woman came down. She was a member of the royal family, and she was not very large, about 1.8 meters tall. Her bull horns were also very small, and at first glance, she looked very much like a human.
Gu Yu looked at Nuoyan and his expression changed. This fallen royal was no ordinary person! She was clearly not very old, around twenty years old, but the aura she exuded was actually at the peak of the General Realm.
You have to understand that a twenty-year-old at the peak of the General Realm is considered a genius even if he isn't a prodigy in the royal family. He even doubted whether this promise was really from a declining royal family.
"Miss Nuoyan, save me." At this moment, the minotaur woman who had been injured by Gu Yu looked at Nuoyan with pleading eyes. She was not even a half-royal, but just an ordinary minotaur.
"Hmph! I won't give you that kind of face." Gu Yu said directly, "This is my final concession. If you continue like this, I won't mind tearing this place down."
"Uh!" Nuoyan frowned upon hearing Gu Yu's words, and Hei San also frowned, but what could they do? If Gu Yu really was from that family, they really couldn't afford to offend him.
"Why don't we just deal with this lowly slave?" Hei San said, trying to smooth things over. Judging from Gu Yu's attitude, if they forcibly stopped him today, things might really get out of control.
Nuoyan frowned, unsure of what to do. She looked at Gu Yu and then at the minotaur woman, gritted her teeth, and said.
“Your Highness, I am willing to take the blame for her and obey your judgment,” Nuoyan said.
"Huh?" Hei San was taken aback, and Gu Yu was also taken aback.
“Miss Nuoyan, I am willing to accept His Highness’s punishment.” At this moment, the minotaur woman suddenly said, her eyes filled with emotion. Although Nuoyan was from a fallen royal family, royalty was still royalty. For a member of royalty to do so much for a servant like her, it was worth it. Although she was afraid of punishment, she could not make things difficult for her master. Besides, it was indeed she who had neglected Gu Yu.
"Hehe..." Gu Yu chuckled, "What a touching story of master and servant affection! Now I'm the villain!"
"This servant wouldn't dare," the minotaur woman said, now surprisingly emboldened.
"Alright, you eyesore, get out of my way!" Gu Yu said. "My time is precious, how can I waste it on you?"
"Get back now!" Nuoyan said to the Minotaur woman immediately upon hearing Gu Yu's words.
The Minotaur woman didn't hesitate and immediately stood up and retreated.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Highness," Nuoyan said gratefully to Gu Yu.
"Hehe... I'm mainly doing this to save face for Prince Hei San," Gu Yu said. Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Hei San's face lit up with joy.
"Brother, thank you." Hei San cupped his hands in thanks to Gu Yu.
"Lianxiang, go and make the arrangements," Nuoyan instructed Lianxiang.
“Yes, Miss,” Lianxiang said.
"Your Highnesses, please come upstairs. I apologize for the neglect at Huan Kuai Lou today." Nuo Yan bowed to Gu Yu and Hei San.
"Brother, let's go." Hei San gestured to Gu Yu to invite him.
Gu Yu didn't stand on ceremony and put his arm around Ri Jiu's waist before walking up to the second floor.
In the room on the second floor, a number of delicious dishes were soon served, along with four or five semi-royal women who were all trying their best to please Gu Yu and Hei San.
But all of this disgusted Gu Yu.
“Miss, that guy is not simple. He may really be a member of that family.” At this moment, Nuoyan changed into an extremely sexy outfit, and an old man stood in front of her. The old man had deep eyes. If Gu Yu were present, he would definitely be surprised, because this was actually a King Realm cultivator.
"It still needs to be confirmed," Nuoyan said after thinking for a moment. "Go check if that family has such a member."
"Yes, Miss." The old man finished speaking and disappeared instantly.
“My Nuo family has never produced a member of the Emperor Realm for so many generations due to bloodline limitations, which has led to the decline of the family. If you are indeed from that family, I can give it a try,” Nuoyan murmured softly.
At this moment, Hei San and Gu Yu raised their glasses and drank several cups of fine wine. It must be said that the wine of the Minotaur tribe was extremely intoxicating.
"Brother, I still don't know your name." Hei San asked Gu Yu. Yes, they had been drinking for half a day, and he still didn't know Gu Yu's name.
When Hei San asked for his name, Gu Yu hesitated for a moment. It wasn't because he couldn't tell Hei San, but because the royal family of the Minotaur tribe all had their own surnames. Gu Yu knew a few of them, after all, he had fought against the royal family of the Minotaur tribe quite a bit in his previous life.
