“Aunt Yun!!”
Almost at the moment Old Man Tengmu made his move, Lin Qingyan could not help but shout in a low voice.
The next moment, a figure carrying terrifying cold energy appeared in the hall like a ghost, raising her hand and clashing palms with Old Man Tengmu.
As True Essence erupted, it was as if a storm swept through the entire hall.
Lin Shiqi and Old Man Tengmu were both forced backward. A veiled woman with a graceful and alluring figure appeared in front of Xiao Fan and Lin Qingyan. The aura of cultivation emanating from her body had clearly reached the 9th stage King Martial Realm.
This person was Lin Qingyan’s protector and also her aunt, Murong Yun.
However, because of her cold and aloof personality, Murong Yun usually stayed hidden in the shadows and rarely appeared in front of others.
Therefore, after Xiao Fan became the Prince Consort of Tranquil Radiance Prefecture yesterday, he had not met this aunt of Lin Qingyan.
Lin Shiqi clutched his chest. After coughing up a mouthful of blood, he laughed coldly and said, “Hehehe, Lin Qingyan, this prince has always doted on you and loved you. I have never been willing to harm even a single hair on your head. But today… this prince has suffered such humiliation. I only wanted to take back some evidence from that fellow’s hands, yet you actually injured your own imperial brother for his sake. You truly are the good imperial sister I think about day and night!!”
“But today…” Lin Shiqi’s expression turned sinister. “If I want that item, he has no choice but to hand it over!!”
As the last sentence fell, Lin Shiqi raised his hand and made a gesture.
Old Man Tengmu immediately unleashed his cultivation again and charged toward Murong Yun.
Outside the courtyard, two more figures rushed in. One headed toward Lin Qingyan, while the other charged straight at Xiao Fan.
Both of them were in the King Martial Realm.
These two were known as the Ghost Profound Elders. Under Lin Shiqi’s command, aside from Old Man Tengmu, they were his two chief enforcers, usually hidden in the shadows awaiting orders.
One was named Gui Xuantian, whose cultivation had reached the 5th stage King Martial Realm. The other was Gui Xuandi, whose cultivation had reached the 3rd stage King Martial Realm.
At this moment, Gui Xuantian restrained Lin Qingyan while Gui Xuandi moved to suppress Xiao Fan. It seemed effortless.
“So you think you’re the only one who can call for backup?!!” Xiao Fan sneered when he saw the situation before him, then shouted loudly, “Your Majesty, someone is trying to kill me!! Hurry up and save me!!”
This shout caused the two Ghost Profound Elders to pause, thinking that a hidden expert might be lurking within Tranquil Radiance Prefecture.
However, after a brief moment of hesitation and finding nothing unusual, they both felt they had been fooled.
Xiao Fan was also stunned for a moment. He immediately realized that unless he truly faced a life-and-death crisis, the Medusa Queen would not easily intervene.
With that thought, Xiao Fan had no choice but to reveal his trump card.
“Brat, hand over the item to your Lord Gui right now!!” As Gui Xuandi’s voice fell, his figure had already closed in, and he reached out fiercely toward Xiao Fan. Read the latest chapters at novelping(.)com.
Seeing this, Xiao Fan could only execute his movement technique and retreat, shouting once more toward the back courtyard, “Yan Lin, if you make a move, I’ll take you shopping!! I’ll buy you clothes, shoes, anything you want!!”
Hearing this, Gui Xuandi sneered. If experts above the King Martial Realm could be coaxed so easily, then wouldn’t their service under Lin Shiqi be a complete joke?
However, just as that thought crossed his mind and his right hand was about to grab Xiao Fan, a burst of red light suddenly flared ahead.
An indescribable pressure instantly enveloped the entire Tranquil Radiance Prefecture. The space itself seemed forcibly frozen. Old Man Tengmu and the two Ghost Profound Elders were all locked in place.
“Brat, if you dare deceive this queen, I won’t mind helping you loosen your bones…” A cold voice echoed through the air.
A spatial rift tore open beside Xiao Fan, and from within stepped out an incomparably beautiful woman with an icy expression.
Lin Shiqi and Old Man Tengmu nearly felt their eyeballs burst from their sockets.
Tearing open space with bare hands?
This was… a Grandmaster Martial Realm expert?!!
Who would have thought that the Southern Suppression King’s heir, rumored outside to be a useless waste, would have such a breathtaking Grandmaster Martial Realm expert by his side?
How was this possible?!!
Lin Shiqi stared at Yan Lin for a moment, then excitedly tried to recruit her, “Fairy, I am the Seventh Prince of the Great Qian Empire. If you are willing to follow me, this prince will buy you all the clothes and shoes in the Imperial City. I can even confer upon you the title of—”
“Silence!”
Yan Lin’s eyes turned cold.
A terrifying aura descended upon Lin Shiqi, pressing him flat to the ground like a dead dog. He spat out another large mouthful of blood.
Lin Shiqi felt so aggrieved he nearly died of frustration.
How was this fair?
Xiao Fan, that so-called waste, merely promised to take her shopping and buy clothes and shoes, and this Grandmaster Martial Realm expert made her move.
Yet he, a prince, offered to buy everything in the Imperial City and was crushed to the ground with a single glance.
Why?!!
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. After we deal with these guys, you can buy whatever you want and go wherever you want to play!” Xiao Fan immediately swore solemnly when Yan Lin’s gaze swept over him. “If you want to go to Drunken Immortal Tower first, I definitely won’t go to Spring Fragrance Pavilion!”
“Oh? Drunken Immortal Tower? Spring Fragrance Pavilion? What kind of places are those?” Yan Lin asked curiously.
Xiao Fan showed an awkward smile and said, “I once heard from the servants that they are refined places for cultivating one’s temperament, listening to music, and drinking tea. But I’ve never been there either. If Your Majesty is interested in the future, we can go together for fun.” This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
“Fairy, he’s talking nonsense!! That place is for men—” Lin Shiqi raised his head to refute, but before he could finish, Xiao Fan stepped on his face.
Lin Shiqi felt an unprecedented humiliation.
“You dog. You kept calling me waste just now. Now open your dog eyes wide and see who the real waste is?” Xiao Fan squatted down with his foot pressing on Lin Shiqi’s head, trampling a prince’s dignity beneath his feet. Lin Shiqi’s face flushed dark red.
“Xiao Fan, you relying on others’ power—”
Bang!!
Before Lin Shiqi could finish, Xiao Fan stood up and kicked him hard in the ribs, sending him flying like trash into the courtyard. He spat out another mouthful of blood.
The next moment, feeling the force suppressing him disappear, Lin Shiqi glared at Xiao Fan with bloodshot eyes and roared as he tried to attack again.
But with a slight movement of Yan Lin’s finger, the power of the Grandmaster Martial Realm descended once more, forcing Lin Shiqi to kneel.
“Xiao Fan, if you have the guts, then kill this prince…”
After being kicked away by Xiao Fan and restrained again by Yan Lin, Lin Shiqi’s face twisted with rage.
He refused to believe that Xiao Fan would truly dare to have a Grandmaster Martial Realm expert kill him.
“Relax. This heir won’t kill you. Killing you would bring plenty of trouble,” Xiao Fan sneered.
Lin Shiqi could not help but reveal a trace of joy.
Sure enough.
Even with the help of a Grandmaster Martial Realm expert, Xiao Fan did not dare truly harm him.
After all, he held a high position, and the Great Qian Empire was far from simple. How could a so-called useless heir dare to take his life?
However, before Lin Shiqi could be happy for long, Xiao Fan’s voice rang out coldly again.
“Don’t celebrate too soon. This heir won’t kill you, but I never said I would let you go like this!”
As the words fell, a scorching force erupted from Xiao Fan’s body. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood while his hands rapidly formed a series of seals.
The blood fused with blazing yang power and formed a strange talisman.
Xiao Fan then struck it into Lin Shiqi’s body. A heart-piercing pain surged violently, causing Lin Shiqi to roar in agony.
