6: Mu Wan'er's background

Xianle Tower.

A man with glaring tiger eyes, a bulky build, and a concealed face, stormed up to the eighteenth floor, seething with anger.

Prince Qi, Prince Qi, was pacing back and forth, deep in thought about the events of the past two days.

He was trying to find the mastermind behind it all from the clues.

The newcomer, without any politeness, revealed his true face on the spot and angrily demanded:

"Second Brother, why!? Didn't you promise me that you would leave Wan'er to me in the future?"

"That good-for-nothing Third Brother, that silver-plated spearhead, how dare he be so reckless? How dare he?"

The Fourth Prince, Savage Tiger, roared in a fit of rage, "Doesn't he fear Father Emperor's punishment, doesn't he fear the Crown Prince cutting ties with him, doesn't he fear me killing him!?"

"Fourth Brother!"

Prince Qi turned back coldly, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's. He warned him word by word:

"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Remember, before doing anything, think about the consequences!"

Although his Fourth Brother had excellent Cultivation talent, he was simple-minded, irritable, and had a fatal weakness: he coveted beautiful women.

How could a person who wants to achieve great things be trapped by beauty?

Therefore, Prince Qi constantly warned himself; ever since he gained power, he had learned to discard useless desires, control himself, stick to his goals, and only focus on the great cause.

But he couldn't make his allies and subordinates reach his state of mind.

Desire is both a shackles and an iron chain to control people.

"Mu Wan'er can't come back anymore. Let's change the conditions I promised you earlier. If our great cause succeeds, the entire Imperial Entertainment Bureau will be yours."

Prince Qi offered a carrot and a stick, sighing softly, and began to appease Savage Tiger.

"No!"

"I only want Wan'er. The entire Imperial Entertainment Bureau cannot compare to a single finger of Miss Wan'er."

Savage Tiger's eyes were bloodshot, and he retorted forcefully, "For Miss Wan'er, I can join your faction, or I can pledge allegiance to the Crown Prince's party!

If you're unwilling to help me with this matter, I'll handle it myself!"

"Good, good, good!" Prince Qi laughed in extreme anger, "If you insist on seeking death, this Prince will certainly not stop you."

The conversation between the two brothers ended on bad terms.

Inside Prince Chu's Mansion's carriage.

Xia Xuan checked his own information.

【Host: Xia Xuan】

【Cultivation: Innate First Level】

【Heroic Spirit: Lü Bu】

【Divine Artifact: None】

【tyrant points: 370】

【Elementary lottery function has been activated. When 1000 points are reached, the Intermediate lottery wheel will be activated.】

He had gained a lot; three hundred tyrant points could be exchanged for three lottery chances.

"I wonder what's in the Elementary prize pool?"

Xia Xuan really wanted to try, but there were still some matters to deal with at the moment, so he could only temporarily restrain himself.

Before he could make a move, Mu Wan'er broke the silence first:

"If Prince Chu can eliminate one person for this concubine, this concubine is willing to serve Your Highness for life."

At this moment, her seductive charm was completely gone, and her independent personality had returned. Her demeanor was somewhat cold, giving off a feeling of 'do not approach strangers'.

These words coming from her mouth were truly unexpected.

"Heh..."

"You're not qualified to negotiate terms."

Xia Xuan lifted her chin, which was like beautiful jade, and smiled playfully.

"If Your Highness does not agree and insists on forcing me, you will only get this concubine's corpse." A cold glint reflected in Mu Wan'er's beautiful eyes.

"You can try committing suicide right under this Prince's nose, if you wish."

Xia Xuan didn't care at all; even if she really died, he wouldn't suffer any substantial loss.

"However, this Prince is still somewhat curious, who do you want to kill?"

"Iron-Blooded Marquis!" Mu Wan'er gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with intense hatred.

Xia Xuan quickly thought in his mind, combining his memories, and clarified some of the reasons.

Ten years ago, the Moon Kingdom, a vassal of the Great Wu Dynasty, was enticed by the Great Yan Dynasty and attempted to switch allegiances.

This act angered Emperor Wanwu, who then mobilized a million-strong army, flattened the Moon Kingdom, and massacred its cities as a warning.

And Mu Wan'er was the princess of the Moon Kingdom back then.

The Iron-Blooded Marquis, the Sixth Prince of the Great Wu Dynasty, was extraordinarily talented and obsessed with military matters, having stayed in the army since he was ten years old.

He accompanied the army in the campaign to destroy the Moon Kingdom.

"The person you most want to kill should be this Prince."

Xia Xuan scoffed, "The commander who led the army to flatten the Moon Kingdom back then was this Prince's maternal grandfather. Don't you hate him?"

"Hate!"

"But what can hatred do? He is a heinous butcher, and one day, he will die by the blade."

"I hate that I cannot avenge the tens of millions of souls of the Moon Kingdom, and I hate Xia Ying even more, who personally killed my royal father!"

"Slap!"

A crisp slap.

Xia Xuan showed no pity for her beauty.

Mu Wan'er turned her head away, and a faint red handprint slowly appeared on her perfect face.

"You..."

Her expression froze slightly, showing a hint of confusion. She couldn't recover for a long time, and her emotions fluctuated wildly.

Prince Chu had changed.

He used to protect her immensely, but now, she felt that the man in front of her was very unfamiliar.

Even cold and ruthless.

"Your Highness, think thrice before acting."

Mu Wan'er gritted her teeth and threw out her last bargaining chip: "I am a Disciple of the Myriad Desires Palace. People of the Imperial Dynasty have no right to detain or interrogate me."

"Ordinary officials might be somewhat wary, but do you think this Prince would be afraid?"

Xia Xuan couldn't help but laugh, "Sect forces also have no right to interfere in Imperial Dynasty internal affairs."

"But don't worry, this Prince is not someone so desperate. I won't do anything to you for now, but I'll collect some interest first."

With that, Xia Xuan, disregarding Mu Wan'er's struggles, lightly pressed his lips to hers.

【Forcibly "subduing" the Moon Kingdom Princess, tyrant points +10】

The moment they touched, Mu Wan'er trembled slightly as if she had been electrocuted.

But the next moment, a seductive red light flashed in her eyes, and her personality changed drastically. She actually actively responded, wrapping her arms around Xia Xuan's neck.

Xia Xuan's heart trembled slightly.

It was rumored that the Disciples of the Myriad Desires Palace cultivated a very special Cultivation Technique that allowed them to split into two personalities: one as passionate as fire, full of charm, and the other as cold as snow, aloof and proud.

He had experienced a bit of the pleasure.

Inopportunely, a loud roar sounded in front of Prince Chu's guard squad.

"Xia Xuan, if you immediately send Miss Wan'er back completely unharmed, I can still forgive you!"

Savage Tiger alone blocked the procession.

"How dare you! Disturbing the royal carriage, what is your crime?" The Prince's Mansion guards reprimanded.

"Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"

Savage Tiger's Protective Aura surged around him, and the True Martial Realm's pressure swept out, pushing back all the guards near him.

Xia Xuan did not stop his actions, merely pulled open the curtain.

"Uh..."

A cloying scene came into view.

Savage Tiger was stunned at first, then felt his head was about to explode.

He trembled all over, his Aura erupted, his eyes were bloodshot and about to burst, and his breathing was heavy.

Why? Why did Miss Wan'er not look coerced at all?

"Xia Xuan—! I—will—kill—you!"

Seeing his longed-for treasure become another's, at this moment, he could no longer suppress his anger.

The ground rumbled, Savage Tiger took a step, his Protective Aura clearing a path, carrying a monstrous killing intent, and charged directly at Xia Xuan.

Savage Tiger's Cultivation talent was among the best of the many princes; even though he indulged in beauty, he was still the first prince to advance to the True Martial Realm.

His current Cultivation had reached True Martial Sixth Level. The ordinary guards of Prince Chu's Mansion could not stop him at all; one by one, they were sent flying, spitting blood from the shock of his Protective Aura.
