18: Chapter 18 A Step Forward and a Step Back! Two Imperial Princesses!

The atmosphere above Azure Cloud City was tense.

The nine black flood dragons were now huddled on the ground like quails, not daring to fly up again no matter how they were driven.

On the war chariot, the Grand Princess of Great Zhou, Wu Qin, gripped the dragon slaying sword. Her cold, beautiful face was currently filled with shame and unwillingness.

As the dignified Valkyrie of Great Zhou and a powerhouse at the Late Golden Core Stage, she hadn't even touched the opponent's front door before being repelled by a Formation?

If this spread back to the Imperial Capital, what face would she, Wu Qin, have left?

"Arrogant!"

Wu Qin took a deep breath, suppressing the wariness in her heart towards that Formation, and resumed the dignified posture of the Grand Princess of Great Zhou.

She pointed her sword at the golden light curtain below, her voice as cold as iron:

"Head of the Su Family! This Princess admits that your turtle shell has some tricks; being able to block a strike from this Princess proves you have some ability."

"But don't forget, this is the territory of Great Zhou! Under the vast sky, all land belongs to the King!"

"No matter how strong your Su Family is, can it be stronger than the million iron cavalry of Great Zhou? Can it be stronger than the wrath of the Nascent Soul of my Imperial Father?!"

"If you are sensible, immediately withdraw the Formation and hand over that evil object that devours the Luck of the nation! Otherwise, once the Divine Artifact of Great Zhou arrives, I will surely raze your Su Family to the ground!"

When brute force didn't work, she started using the state apparatus to pressure people.

This was Wu Qin; the pride of a military general meant she would never easily bow her head.

However, the Su Family courtyard remained quiet, as if her threats were just wind in their ears.

Just as Wu Qin was so angry she prepared to attack again:

"Hehehe..."

A light, playful, and lazy chuckle suddenly came from the Void Realm.

"I say, Sister Wu Qin, we have fought for so many years, why do you still have such a hot temper?"

"The Head of the Su Family already said that you are disturbing his wife's pregnancy. Not only do you not apologize, but you are also here shouting about killing. Is this the demeanor a Princess of a country should have? You look more like a shrew cursing in the street."

"Who?!"

Wu Qin turned her head sharply, her beautiful eyes filled with malice.

She saw the Void Realm not far away slightly fluctuating, like ripples on water.

The moonlight spilled down.

A woman wearing a pale purple flowing fairy dress with her face covered by a light veil, accompanied by several shadow guards with strange auras, stepped on the moon wheel and landed elegantly from the air.

Although her appearance could not be seen, that ethereal and mysterious aura formed a stark contrast with Wu Qin's domineering and bloodthirsty nature.

It was the Grand Princess of Great Qin, Ying Yue'e.

"Ying Yue'e?!"

Wu Qin's pupils constricted, her grip on the sword tightened, and the killing intent in her eyes surged:

"You demoness of Great Qin, how dare you trespass into the territory of Great Zhou?! Are you trying to provoke a war between the two countries?!"

"Oh my, Sister, what are you saying."

Ying Yue'e covered her mouth and chuckled, her star-like eyes, exposed outside, curving into crescent moons:

"Azure Cloud City is the border between the two countries, it was originally ownerless... oh no, a buffer zone. I came to watch the excitement, and by the way, to visit an expert, how did that become trespassing?"

As she spoke, she ignored the furious Wu Qin and turned to face the Su Family courtyard.

She did not release any pressure, nor did she put on the airs of a Princess.

Instead, she tidied her dress and respectfully performed a Junior's salute toward the golden light curtain, her voice crisp and pleasant.

"Ying Yue'e of Great Qin, I have long admired the demeanor of the Head of the Su Family."

"I am visiting rashly today and did not bring any precious items."

"I heard your honorable mansion has happy news, so Yue'e specifically brought a bottle of 【Moonlight Condensed Dew】 from the Great Qin treasury. This item is gathered from the essence of Taiyin; it is best for calming the mind and nourishing the fetus, and is of great benefit to the fetus in the womb."

"I wonder if the Head of the Su Family would do me the honor of letting Yue'e have a cup of tea?"

As the voice fell, the whole scene went quiet.

The difference was immediately clear!

One was shouting to tear down the house, the other brought generous gifts to offer warmth.

Any normal person would know who to choose.

Wu Qin was so angry her chest heaved violently, grinding her teeth: "Hypocritical! Cunning! You demoness are clearly also here for the Golden Dragon of Fortune, why pretend to be a good person?!"

...

At this time, in the backyard of the Su Family.

Su Feng was still lying on the rocking chair, but his double pupils had already been activated, his gaze penetrating the Formation and landing on the two women.

【Ding! Detected two S-rank Daughters of Destiny!】

【Target 1: Wu Qin (Grand Princess of Great Zhou)】

【Race: Human Race】

【Physique: True Phoenix Bloodline (10%)】

【Personality: Tsundere, domineering, strong desire for conquest】

【Target 2: Ying Yue'e (Grand Princess of Great Qin)】

【Race: Human Race】

【Physique: Taiyin Moonlight Physique (Top-tier Dual Cultivation Physique)】

【Personality: Belly-black, intelligent, admires strength】

"Double SS, huh..."

Su Feng's mouth curled slightly, the light in his eyes somewhat dangerous.

"Only children make choices; adults naturally want them all."

However, one must eat one bite at a time, and train people one by one.

For someone like Wu Qin who has a stiff mouth, she needs to be properly trained so she knows what the beatings of society are.

For someone smart like Ying Yue'e, giving a little sweetness is fine; it just so happens that Yan Ling'er needs supplements for her pregnancy.

"The Princess of Great Qin is indeed well-mannered."

Su Feng's voice finally came out, with a bit of appreciation:

"Since you brought a gift, you are a guest. The door is open, come in."

Hum!

As the voice fell, the originally indestructible 【Nine Dragons Locking Heaven Formation】 actually split a gap in front of Ying Yue'e that was only wide enough for one person to pass through!

A flash of triumph crossed Ying Yue'e's eyes, and she looked provocatively at the livid Wu Qin beside her, chuckling.

"Sister, it seems this Head of the Su Family is also a person who cherishes flowers. I will go in first, you... slowly blow the wind outside?"

After speaking, she stepped on lotus steps and walked into the light curtain with a swaying figure.

"You!!"

Wu Qin was so angry she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Why?!

This is Great Zhou's territory! She is the host! As a result, the demoness of Great Qin went in, and she, the host, was left outside eating a closed door?

"This Princess does not accept this!!"

Seeing the light curtain about to close, Wu Qin's brain heated up, her figure transformed into a golden light, and she actually wanted to take advantage of the gap before it closed to force her way in!

"Open for this Princess!!"

However.

"Bang!!"

Just when the tip of her nose was 0.01 centimeters away from the light curtain.

That gap, without warning, extremely ruthlessly... closed!

The golden Formation barrier slammed firmly onto Wu Qin's beautiful face!

Although she had protective Spiritual Qi and wasn't really disfigured, this insult was beyond the sky!

"Get lost."

Su Feng's cold word came from inside, carrying undeniable majesty:

"Did I tell you to come in?"

"When you learn how to speak properly, come back to knock on the door."

"Now, just stand at the door and reflect!"

Boom!

A massive counter-shock force from the Formation erupted again, shaking Wu Qin and her sword back tens of meters!

"Ahhh!! Su Feng!! This Princess will kill you!!"

Wu Qin was completely frantic, her hair disheveled, eyes blood-red, raising the dragon slaying sword to fight the Formation to the death.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, calm down!!"

At this moment, the Nascent Soul Stage royal supporter who had been hiding in the back was so scared that his soul flew away and spirit scattered, rushing up to hold Wu Qin's arm tightly.

"Your Highness! Do not make a move again!!"

The old supporter was covered in sweat, earnestly persuading:

"Don't you see? This Head of the Su Family eats soft, not hard!"

"And that demoness of Great Qin has already gone in! Their Ying Family is best at horizontal and vertical alliances; if she makes any alliance in there with the Su Family against Great Zhou, or uses other conditions to exchange for the Su Family's support..."

"Then our Great Zhou will really be in danger!!"

"Your Highness! For the sake of the nation's Luck, for the sake of Your Majesty's grand plan... we must endure!!"

"Even if it's just pretending, you must show a submissive look!"

Wu Qin's hand holding the sword froze in mid-air, her chest heaving violently, her cold and beautiful face filled with humiliation and struggle.

Let her bow her head? To the Clan Chief of a small border Family?

But... looking at the tightly closed door, thinking of Ying Yue'e possibly drinking tea inside and laughing at her...

Wu Qin bit her lip, tasting a hint of blood.

"Fine..."

"This Princess... will endure!"

"Su Feng, you wait for this Princess! This account will be settled sooner or later!"
