Prince Jinwu witnessed his lower body being blasted apart yesterday, and he's been traumatized ever since. He often wakes up in a fright when he closes his eyes, and even doubts whether he's lost his sexual ability. So he desperately needs to prove himself.
Ordinary palace maids were unlikely to arouse his interest, but the incomparably beautiful Queen Medusa was very attractive and should be able to help him display his prowess.
Seeing the eager look in the Golden Crow Prince's eyes, Elder Wu was immediately in a dilemma: "Your Highness, I did not bring Queen Medusa back."
The First Clan
"What?" Crown Prince Jinwu's face immediately turned ferocious. Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly remembered Grandmaster Wu's identity and forcibly swallowed back the angry curse that was about to come out of his mouth. "What exactly happened?"
Old Wu then recounted the situation he had just encountered with the snake clan. Crown Prince Jinwu was shocked: "The Peacock Royal Family, the Elf Clan, and even the Sea Clan and the Demon Clan all give her so much face?"
"Yes," Old Wu said with a wry smile, something that puzzled him greatly.
"Where did this vile woman get so many connections? Is it all because of her beauty?" Because of the snake clan's previous misfortune, the Golden Crow Prince harbored a deep hatred for Queen Medusa.
“Now these major clans are clearly protecting her, and a bunch of smaller clans are on good terms with her, so it’s going to be quite troublesome to make a move against her.” Old Wu frowned and said, “I’m afraid it’s not going to work to force the assassin out by getting involved with her.”
“Not necessarily,” Crown Prince Jinwu sneered. “The All-Race Conference is in three days. Each race will send representatives to compete for those representative seats. The Snake Clan was a powerful clan back then. I believe that Queen Medusa will not be satisfied with just one seat after her return. They will definitely send experts to participate. We will find a way to cripple her experts on the arena. They will suffer as much as they want. I don’t believe that the people behind her will be able to sit still.”
"This is indeed a feasible method, but wouldn't it be a bit too obvious and easily affect Your Highness's reputation?" Elder Wu still specifically reminded him, because if forcing out the assassin caused dissatisfaction among the various tribes, it would be a case of losing more than one gain.
"Who said I, the Crown Prince, would personally take action? According to previous intelligence, the Lion Clan also has a grudge against the Snake Clan. We can just manipulate things behind the scenes and let them compete for the same number of seats, right?" Crown Prince Jinwu sneered. He had heard that the Lion Clan's young prince, Lion Spirit, was seriously injured and unconscious after the last conflict with the Snake Clan. Lion Spirit was the Lion Clan's recognized rising star and was always favored by his father and brothers. After his accident, the entire Lion Clan was furious. Given the opportunity, why would they show mercy to the Snake Clan?
"Wonderful!" Old Wu's eyes lit up. He had been worried that since the Crown Prince's defeat in the Snake Clan, he had become irritable and easily angered, and even prone to lust, completely losing his former wise and mighty imperial demeanor. Now he was relieved, knowing that the Crown Prince was still the same Crown Prince he remembered.
Next, Crown Prince Jinwu summoned his officials to arrange related matters. Naturally, these matters did not require Elder Wu's personal involvement, as he stayed in the palace to heal his injuries and recuperate.
Meanwhile, in the Serpent Clan's residence, Yun Jianyue found Zu An: "Let's go, let's go out and explore the Demon Clan's royal court. We've been so bored these past few days."
She had originally planned to go sightseeing yesterday, but Zu'an disappeared. Later, the Demon Emperor's aura was activated, and she was worried that Zu'an was an assassin who had entered the palace. She couldn't sleep all night and had no interest in going to the city.
Of course, she wouldn't tell anyone about it to claim credit.
Yan Xuehen couldn't help but frown slightly: "He's worked hard all night, let him get some rest."
"Tsk tsk tsk, speaking..."
"Like a new bride entering the Zu family, Ice Stone Girl, are you alright?" Yun Jianyue said while stroking Yan Xuehen's forehead, as if she didn't recognize her.
Yan Xuehen's face flushed, afraid that she would see through her disguise, and she hurriedly explained, "Do you think I'm as inconsiderate as you? First, he's too tired, and second, he's wanted by the police right now, so it's really inconvenient for him to go out."
Yun Jianyue disagreed: "Have you forgotten what Azu just said? The most dangerous place is the safest. No one would expect a wanted criminal to swagger around like this. Take this opportunity to make Yanzu's name known, so that he won't be contacted by Azu in a few days."
Yan Xuehen frowned slightly, feeling that her words sounded like sophistry. Just as she was about to refute her, Zu An said, "It's always good for us to familiarize ourselves with the terrain of the royal court beforehand. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' Moreover, we can take this opportunity to look for the places marked on the map."
The women were taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was referring to the map of the unknown land obtained from the tomb of Marquis Sui. After that, no one had any objections.
As they left, Yan and Yun thought of their previous encounter at the city gate. They realized that while wearing a veil could conceal their faces, it would also arouse others' curiosity.
In particular, their graceful figures and outstanding temperament made them obvious beauties. Now that the royal court was filled with powerful figures from various races, although they were not afraid, they did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, he will be going to the arena in three days to help Yu Yanluo compete for a seat. He can't possibly wear a veil and cloak in front of everyone then, can he?
Revealing their true identities would be even more inappropriate. The two women are renowned grandmasters among the human race, and some members of the demon race have seen them before. If their identities were recognized, given their current state, they would not even know how they died.
So one of them asked Zuan for a disguise mask and transformed into an ordinary-looking woman. They got used to it in advance. Looking at their faces in the mirror, which could only be described as extremely mediocre, they didn't mind at all. With their mindset, they no longer cared about their appearance.
Zuan secretly sighed that if these two looked like this in his previous life, they would definitely be called "back view killers"—their back views were goddess-level, but their faces were... well...
