However, the next morning, Jiang Qingxue discovered that some things were easy to say but incredibly difficult to do.
She had already made up her mind to take the initiative to talk more with Ye Han and drive away all the butterflies and bees surrounding him.
But after setting out, she realized that personality was not something that could be changed overnight.
Su Yingmeng could openly say, “Wow! Brother Ye Han, you’re amazing.”
Just like Ye Han’s little admirer.
But Jiang Qingxue could not do that.
Su Yingmeng chirped endlessly beside Ye Han, telling him about her experiences traveling the world.
Jiang Qingxue could not understand why such ordinary daily events could sound so vivid and interesting when Su Yingmeng spoke of them.
In truth, Jiang Qingxue herself had rich experiences exploring various ruins.
Yet when she spoke, her words sounded dry and lifeless.
Only then did she truly experience the disadvantage of being inarticulate.
Although Ye Han would occasionally speak to her out of consideration, Jiang Qingxue could clearly feel it.
Compared to talking with her, Ye Han preferred talking with Su Yingmeng.
To Jiang Qingxue, whose mind was delicate and sensitive, those conversations felt more like charity.
How ridiculous.
She was the heir of the Jiang Family. Did she really need someone’s charity?
With a frosty expression, Jiang Qingxue stood beside Ye Han, unwilling to speak first.
She recalled the Su Yingmeng from that dream.
At that time, she and Ye Han were deeply in love, and their relationship was known across the entire continent.
When Su Yingmeng saw her, she addressed her respectfully as “Sister Jiang.”
Because Jiang Qingxue had already established her relationship with Ye Han, her position in his heart was higher.
Su Yingmeng also knew she could not monopolize Ye Han.
If she did not maintain a good relationship with Jiang Qingxue, she would find it difficult to remain by Ye Han’s side.
But now, in Ye Han’s heart, Su Yingmeng’s position was likely no lower than her own.
Most importantly, Su Yingmeng probably harbored the ambition to monopolize Ye Han.
To Su Yingmeng now, Jiang Qingxue was a rival.
Realizing this, Jiang Qingxue’s expression grew even colder.
However, since she usually wore such an expression, Ye Han did not notice her subtle emotional changes.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the White Stone Ruins.
The White Stone Ruins were located at the border between the Flame Nation and two other small nations. It was said to contain numerous secret treasures. The entrance was jointly controlled by the three nations and opened once a year. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Anyone could enter by paying a certain fee. There was essentially no barrier.
As for what one could obtain inside, it all depended on personal ability.
Such a chaotic environment was perfect for Ye Han to take advantage of.
Ye Han stood at the entrance, with Su Yingmeng and Jiang Qingxue standing on either side of him.
This combination of one man and two women quickly attracted attention.
And the Protagonist Aura surrounding Ye Han caused nearby men to stare lustfully at the two women, their greedy eyes roaming over their bodies.
“That kid is really blessed. He actually has two beauties of this level accompanying him.”
“Even the imperial concubines in the palace probably look only this good.”
“I really want to taste those two beauties.”
They thought so inwardly but did not dare approach.
Until a man dressed in luxurious robes stepped forward and broke the silence.
“Greetings, ladies. I am Fang Jingping, Crown Prince of Chen Nation. It is an honor to meet you.”
Fang Jingping displayed what he believed was a handsome smile and completely ignored Ye Han.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of Su Yingmeng and Jiang Qingxue, the smile was disgusting.
Jiang Qingxue even felt that among equally unpleasant men, Fang Jingping was less tolerable than Gu Lingxiao.
The moment that thought appeared, she startled herself and quickly drove it away.
Ye Han’s expression also turned cold.
To flirt with his women right in front of him. If he did not act, could he still call himself a man?
“Get lost,” Ye Han said coldly.
“Oh? There’s actually someone so unpleasant here,” Fang Jingping said, as if noticing Ye Han for the first time. “I understand your desire to show off. But I am the Crown Prince of Chen Nation. Before acting, you should consider whether you can afford to provoke me.”
His tone carried a trace of threat.
As the Crown Prince, he did not believe anyone would dare oppose him.
But who was Ye Han?
The Son of Destiny.
Let alone a mere Crown Prince of a small nation.
He dared to act against anyone.
Powerful spiritual power erupted from Ye Han’s body as he threw a fierce punch at Fang Jingping.
Fang Jingping clearly had not expected him to attack so suddenly. Caught off guard, he failed to block and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
“You dare attack me?”
Since regaining his cultivation, he had not yet fought personally.
Now that someone had come seeking trouble, it was the perfect chance to test himself.
The cultivation realms of the Sky Vault Continent were divided into eight: Body Tempering Realm, Innate Realm, Transcendent Realm, Longevity Realm, Divine Martial Realm, Nirvana Origin Realm, Heaven Fusion Realm, and Ascension Realm.
After restarting his cultivation, Ye Han was currently in the Innate Realm.
Although not very strong, in this remote region he was already considered accomplished.
In the Flame Nation and Chen Nation, the Transcendent Realm represented peak experts.
Fang Jingping himself was also only in the Innate Realm.
But even within the same realm, the gap between them was enormous.
Having been taught by Lingyue and possessing the Inheritance of the Gu Clan and Fu Clan, Ye Han’s combat strength was far beyond what a crown prince of a border nation could match.
After only a few exchanges, Fang Jingping was beaten until he coughed blood and could barely stand.
“Where did this young man come from? Even His Highness the Crown Prince cannot defeat him!”
“Our Crown Prince ranked seventh in the Three Nations Tournament!”
“He is clearly only in the Innate Realm, yet he defeated his opponent so easily.”
“No wonder he has two beauties accompanying him.”
The onlookers gasped in amazement.
Just as Ye Han prepared to press his advantage, two bare-chested men suddenly appeared behind Fang Jingping.
Their bodies were covered in powerful muscles, and they radiated terrifying killing intent.
It was the aura of men who had fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Even the onlookers felt fear.
“That’s enough, boy. If you continue, it will not end well for you or your friends.”
“And what if I refuse?” Ye Han sneered.
“Kill him! Kill him!”
Fang Jingping had completely lost his earlier elegant demeanor. He pointed at Ye Han and roared.
As the Crown Prince, he had never suffered such humiliation before.
He wanted Ye Han dead.
“It seems this matter cannot end peacefully,” Ye Han said mockingly.
“Boy, surrender now. We can at least grant you a quick death.”
“In your dreams.”
Ye Han sneered and attacked again without hesitation.
