...
At the foot of the sacred mountain of Tianjue, beside a spiritual pool.
Having secured his survival, Chu Sheng knelt down beside the spirit pool without saying a word, clutching his chest, his face contorted with a look of utter despair and weariness.
"Damn it, what kind of palm technique is this brat using? Even someone as strong as me can't withstand it."
"Hmph, you brat, just you wait. One day I'll refine you into a furnace and put you on my bedside table as mosquito coil to vent my hatred."
"The most urgent thing is to find another way to get an invitation. If I can't attend the wedding ceremony, how can I save face as the fourth prince of the Great Xia Kingdom? When I go back, my father and my brothers will definitely laugh at me!"
Suddenly, a melodious chanting came from the spirit pool, accompanied by ripples on the water.
"You once bloomed in the fireworks of this world."
"Carve a few people into my heart, and I'll live a lonely life from now on."
Chu Sheng was shocked. He stood up, pointed at the misty spirit pool, and roared, "Hey~ who is this, singing such a lousy song in broad daylight!"
The next moment, a gentle breeze blew, and the mist gradually dissipated.
In the middle of the lake, on a reef, sat a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor, dressed in a black robe and with a cascade of silver hair. She was kneeling in the lake, gently washing her long hair, her long, slender legs exposed.
Faced with such a stunning woman, Chu Sheng was immediately enraged: "You bastard, what are you doing washing your hair and singing in broad daylight? Can't you have any manners?!"
The woman kept her eyes closed. When she heard the question, she stopped singing and slightly opened her eyes: "Were you talking about me just now?"
His voice was smooth and sweet, yet it was filled with an undeniable air of authority.
Chu Sheng, completely oblivious to the approaching danger, glared at the woman in black robes and said, "Who else could I be talking to? In broad daylight, what are you yelling about? Don't think you can rely on your looks..."
They can do whatever they want, unaware that there are still male protagonists in this world without a female lead or a romantic partner. Yes, don't doubt it, I'm talking about me.
The atmosphere instantly turned cold. The woman glanced back at Chu Sheng, then placed her hands on the rock behind her back, shifted to a seated position, and raised her head slightly, saying coldly:
"You've got some nerve. It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me like that. But kid, have you ever heard the saying, 'The Emperor's majesty cannot be insulted'?"
Chu Sheng clenched his fists and shouted in a deep voice, "You 'Emperor' my foot! I never expected this. I thought only men could show off!"
But I never expected that the women I met on this trip would be so pretentious.
First, the Empress of the Great Yin Dynasty made a high-profile entrance and stole my thunder. Then, in the last chapter, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with blond hair dared to point her finger at me and curse me.
Now, yet another person chanting "washing hair" on the lake is telling me that the emperor's majesty cannot be insulted. What I hate most are scum like you who are always putting on airs.
Believe it or not, in my fit of rage, I'll slap you twice to bring you back to reality!
The woman gave a soft hum, stood up, and let down her black robe to cover her legs. Then, a flash of light appeared, and when you looked again, her petite and graceful figure was already in the void.
The next moment, the lake surface exploded, spiritual energy overflowed, forming a huge vortex that was completely absorbed into the woman's body.
Chu Sheng finally dropped the act, staring in utter shock at the scene before him. His eyes widened as he blurted out, "Holy crap! Is this some kind of powerhouse? Am I about to get myself killed?!"
In his shock, a streak of light struck his body.
Before Chu Sheng could react, he found himself on the edge of a cliff forty miles away from Linghu Lake. The woman in front of him had his neck locked tightly, and his body was suspended in mid-air. He was suffocating and almost fainted.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Show me how arrogant you can be again."
Chu Sheng immediately chickened out, forcing out a few flattering words: "Miss, I was wrong. Please give me a chance, okay? I'll kowtow and admit my mistake, won't that be enough?"
"It's too late," the woman said. "You just saw something you shouldn't have seen, so you must die."
Chu Sheng was shocked: "What? You were the one washing your hair and singing in public, and you can blame me for that? Can't you be reasonable? Even if you're going to kill me, can't you come up with a better reason? Otherwise, I'll definitely die with my eyes open in disgrace."
Before he could finish speaking, the woman tightened her grip on his throat.
Chu Sheng immediately showed a frustrated expression, his pain unimaginable.
“You lowly ants and mortals dared to peek at me bathing and washing up; you were already doomed. On top of that, you spoke disrespectfully to me, which only made your crime more serious. So no matter what you say, you must die today.”
After she finished speaking, the woman's skin glowed with a white, jade-like light.
Chu Sheng couldn't utter a word, his mind screaming, "Damn it, I finally managed to come out, why do I have to encounter so many cheaters along the way?"
They're beating me up one by one, it's so damn frustrating! Am I going to lose my life now? No way! I absolutely cannot accept this kind of exit!
Thinking of this, feelings of resentment and humiliation welled up in my heart.
Even knowing that there was a huge gap between his cultivation level and that of the woman in front of him, he was still prepared to risk his life.
However, as soon as he activated the Nine Yang True Fire, a look of surprise appeared on the woman's face.
"Nine Yang True Fire? You are a member of the Great Xia royal family?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng seemed to have grasped a chance to survive and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I am a member of the Great Xia royal family. The matter before was all a misunderstanding. Please let me go."
Unexpectedly, the woman's face lit up with joy: "That's wonderful! I suffered a backlash from Mingyu's internal energy!"
"I desperately need the intense Yang energy to nourish and heal my internal injuries. Since you've cultivated the Nine Yang True Fire, let me refine this intense Yang energy within you."
