211: Chapter 211 Murong Xue's Muscle Memory!

"Master, who is she?" Liu Rumeng pointed at Empress Yue Chan, her tone thick with hostility.

Cao Kun suppressed a smile and introduced Empress Yue Chan behind him.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce her to you."

"This is a personal maid specifically sent to me by the Empress, fearing I'd have no one to attend to me on the journey."

A personal maid?

Empress Yue Chan looked up, glaring fiercely at the back of Cao Kun's head.

When did I ever become your personal maid!

I am a Secret Guard! A Secret Guard!

Hearing this, Liu Rumeng's internal monologue was quite rich as well.

A maid sent by the Empress of Great Yan?

Isn't that just an informant sent by the Empress to monitor Master!

She might even be a vixen sent by the Empress to test the waters!

How could she tolerate this?

She had to give her a show of authority!

Liu Rumeng let go of Cao Kun's arm, put her hands on her hips, and walked straight up to Empress Yue Chan.

Slightly lifting her snowy-white chin, she began to lecture her in a pretentious tone.

"I don't care what your status was in the palace before."

"Since you're here to serve Master, you must understand our rules."

"Be more agile with your hands and feet from now on."

"Menial tasks like serving tea, pouring water, washing clothes, and folding blankets will all be done by you."

"As for undressing Master or warming his bed, don't even think about it. With us around, it's not your turn to curry favor."

"Do you understand?"

At this moment, Empress Yue Chan...

Was completely stunned.

An insignificant girl at the Early stage of Spirit Severing...

Actually dared to point at her nose and tell her what to do?

"Why aren't you speaking?"

Seeing Empress Yue Chan remain silent, Liu Rumeng frowned, her voice rising a few notches.

"Are you mute?"

"Or are you saying you're defiant?"

Cao Kun watched with great interest from the side. Instead of stopping it, he fanned the flames:

"She's probably used to being lax in the palace and lacks manners."

"Rumeng, you should teach her more."

Empress Yue Chan's face turned dark with rage.

But she couldn't lose her temper now.

She couldn't expose her identity.

A little impatience spoils great plans.

For the sake of Great Yan's Luck, for the Luck Mark...

I will endure!

"I... understand."

Empress Yue Chan squeezed those words out from between her teeth, her voice trembling.

Hearing this submission, Liu Rumeng nodded with satisfaction.

"Your attitude is acceptable."

"Follow me from now on, and you'll have your share of benefits."

After saying that, she turned back to Cao Kun's side, grabbed his arm again, and blinked as if seeking praise.

Cao Kun suppressed his laughter and reached out to pinch Liu Rumeng's cheek.

"Well done."

Then, he turned his head and gave Empress Yue Chan a meaningful look.

"Keep up, little Secret Guard."

Empress Yue Chan followed behind with her head lowered, so angry her breathing was uneven.

Cao Kun! You just wait!

...

In the center of the Palace Square.

It was already packed with people.

Thirteen Great Yan Prodigies, led by Lin Potian and Murong Xue, stood in a neat row.

Not far away, Bi Yuntao waited with over ten elites from the Princes Mansion.

"Lord Cao is here!"

Someone shouted.

Swish!

The thirteen Prodigies all turned their heads in unison.

When they saw the young man in black and white Daoist robes, holding a stunning maid in a red dress, with a black-clad follower behind him...

Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

A few days ago in the Royal Martial Arts Space.

The fear of being dominated by Cao Kun's pure Physical Body strength was still deeply etched in their bones.

As for Murong Xue.

Her reaction was even more intense.

The moment she saw Cao Kun, the humiliating image of being held over his lap and having her buttocks slapped in public immediately surfaced in her mind.

Her hands almost reflexively covered her buttocks.

The humiliation of being held down and slapped repeatedly that day, and that strange sensation...

Made her feel weak all over just thinking about it now.

"Bastard... lecher!"

Two flushes of crimson rose on Murong Xue's cheeks. She muttered softly and quickly lowered her head.

Cao Kun looked at this group of greenhouse flowers he had disciplined into submission and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yo, you all look quite spirited."

Whoosh!

The thirteen Prodigies lowered their heads in unison.

"Greetings, Lord Cao!"

The voices were perfectly synchronized, filled with heartfelt awe.

Empress Yue Chan, following behind Cao Kun, was secretly astonished by this scene.

She knew all too well how arrogant and unyielding these Prodigies were.

She hadn't expected Cao Kun to train them into being so obedient with just one display of power.

This guy indeed had some tricks up his sleeve.

Just then.

A clamor of footsteps came from the other side of the square.

"Hahaha, Lord Cao sure is imposing!"

Accompanied by a burst of sarcastic laughter.

The Great Yan Prince Bi Yuntao, leading a dozen Cultivators with deep auras, walked over swaggeringly.

These dozen people were all experts at the Late Stage of Void Refining.

"Lord Cao."

Bi Yuntao walked up and casually cupped his hands with a fake smile.

"I heard that for this trip to the Ancient God Ruins, Her Majesty the Empress has given you full authority to command the Great Yan team?"

Cao Kun glanced at him sideways.

"Yeah, why? Do you have an objection?"

Bi Yuntao sneered, an undisguised killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"What objection could this Prince have?"

"I just wanted to kindly remind Lord Cao that the Divine Ruins are fraught with danger. Under the suppression of the Laws, life and death are unpredictable!"

He intentionally raised his voice, trying to give Cao Kun a show of authority in front of everyone.

He wanted the Great Yan forces to know who exactly called the shots in this Great Yan Dynasty.

"Lord Cao had better be careful."

"Don't lose your life right after entering. When the time comes, there won't even be anyone to collect your body!"

However.

Cao Kun didn't fall for his act at all.

Facing Bi Yuntao's provocation, Cao Kun didn't even look him in the eye.

He brushed his hand over his Storage Ring.

He directly pulled out the Flame Emperor Token given by the Empress and, with lightning speed, slapped it right onto Bi Yuntao's arrogant old face!

"You dog, what are you barking for?"

Bi Yuntao was slapped back two steps, a red and swollen Token mark instantly appearing on his cheek.

He knew what this Token represented.

Every Great Yan Cultivator present, including himself, Bi Yuntao, had to obey the orders of the Token holder.

He couldn't openly defy it here.

At least, not in front of so many people.

"Lord Cao."

"This Prince was just kindly reminding you, why the need for such a commotion?"

"Kindness?"

Cao Kun gave a contemptuous sneer, withdrew the Token, and brushed past Bi Yuntao.

"If you really have good intentions, then watch your mouth."

"Also, those dozen people of yours, don't get too close to me after entering the Divine Ruins."

"When I see red, I sometimes can't distinguish between friend and foe."

"If I accidentally cut down your people, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

"You..."

The smile on Bi Yuntao's face completely collapsed.

He stood there, watching Cao Kun's back as he strode toward the center of the square.

Deep in his eyes, killing intent surged.

Good! Very good!

Go ahead and be as arrogant as you want!

Once we enter the Ancient God Ruins...

This Prince will surely join forces with the people of Taichu Holy Land to ensure you never return!
