49: The Ninth Princess

"You can't escape."

The High-level Golden Core Elder of the Ghost Shark Sect arrived above Lin Feng.

Gusts of hurricane winds blew past, and Lin Feng's mask was also blown off.

Seeing the appearance of this A Man, the female Elder in the sky became increasingly satisfied.

"Come back to the Ghost Shark Sect with me, I'll marry you and make you my concubine."

Lin Feng felt a chill, the women in this World were all animals who thought with their lower bodies.

When he becomes powerful, he must lead all the Men in the entire World to launch a revolution!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

A large amount of True Qi condensed into a giant palm, covering Lin Feng directly with a large shadow!

Just as Lin Feng was about to let himself be slaughtered, a golden light suddenly rose from behind.

The attack of the Elder of the Ghost Shark Sect melted like ice and snow.

Including the dark clouds in the sky, they were all torn apart by the golden light at this moment...

For a moment, the world became quiet.

"Tap~ tap tap~"

Gentle footsteps came from behind.

"Ghost Shark Sect? You're not from the Demon Sect either, this isn't the first time you've forcibly snatched Men, is it?"

From the woman's calm voice, it wasn't hard to hear some majesty.

"Who are you?" The woman in the sky looked at the woman who appeared behind Lin Feng, her words showing apprehension.

This guy who instantly broke her True Qi was no weaker than her!

"You are not worthy to know my identity." The woman stopped beside Lin Feng, and casually waved her hand behind her: "Li Gonggong, kill her."

"Yes, Prince."

After a eunuch's voice fell, Lin Feng could clearly see that behind the female Elder in the sky, a 'Man' appeared.

This Man raised the whisk in his hand towards the Elder of the Ghost Shark Sect.

"Nascent Soul expert!"

The woman in the sky was filled with terror, with no possibility of avoiding it.

As the whisk swept past with a swish, a cloud of blood mist appeared in the sky!

"Gulp~"

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng was more shocked.

That guy who was like a thunder god just now was finished off with a single whisk!

Beside him, the woman looked at Lin Feng's expression, her lips curling up: "You must be Young Master Lin Feng, right?"

"You know me?" Lin Feng looked at this woman for the first time.

The woman was wearing a golden robe, and her gentle Chang'e eyebrows accentuated her phoenix eyes, bringing out a unique charm.

The striking red lips below her delicate nose gave her entire oval face an elegant yet alluring charm.

"Lin Gongzi's reputation in Jiu Xin City is truly thunderous." The woman chuckled softly: "Finally meeting you today, Lin Gongzi is indeed so handsome he doesn't seem like a mortal, the once-in-ten-thousand-years handsome Man, that description is truly not exaggerated."

"Jiu Xin City..." Lin Feng felt a bit awkward, after all, everyone probably thought that message was deliberately spread by 'him'.

Even now, he didn't understand who helped him get that message out.

Smiling politely, Lin Feng changed the subject: "Thank you for saving me, may I ask who you are?"

"Me?" Hearing this question from the handsome Man before her, Ji Youyu, with her hands behind her back, didn't hide her identity: "I am the Ninth Princess of the Tianwu Empire, Ji Youyu."

"Ninth Princess?" Lin Feng was slightly surprised.

As the Ninth Princess of a country, it was no wonder she had such a powerful eunuch as a bodyguard.

"Lin Gongzi, you don't need to be constrained by my identity. We met and now know each other, just treat me as a friend."

Saying this, Ji Youyu bent down to pick up the mask on the ground for Lin Feng: "Lin Gongzi, you must be going to Kyoto, right?"

"How do you know?"

"Hahaha, Lin Gongzi, don't overthink it." Ji Youyu pointed towards the official road in the distance: "After crossing the Tianlang Mountain Range, you will reach Kyoto directly. I inferred Lin Gongzi's itinerary from this."

"Since you're going to Kyoto, if you don't mind, can we travel together?"

"But I..." Lin Feng thought of Golden Goose and the others.

"Ding~ Side quest issued: Arrive in Kyoto within three days."

Task successful: Reward God-level Cooking Skill

Task failed: No penalty

"Okay! We'll travel together!" Lin Feng turned to look at the Ninth Princess before him, his face full of solemnity: "Without further delay, let's depart now!"

In the Golden Dragon Jade Chariot, which wasn't very bumpy, Lin Feng looked at the scenery outside, lost in thought.

"If I'm not mistaken, Lin Gongzi's trip to Kyoto this time is for the Xiu Nan assessment, right?"

Seeing Lin Feng was a bit silent, the Ninth Princess beside him took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Yes."

Lin Feng nodded.

This answer made the Ninth Princess's eyes flicker slightly: "Actually, I don't wish for you to participate in today's Xiu Nan assessment."

"Oh?" Lin Feng became a little more alert. Before this, Golden Goose and the others had also talked to him about participating in the Xiu Nan, and now the Ninth Princess also expressed disagreement.

This made Lin Feng truly realize the unusual nature of the Xiu Nan assessment.

"Ninth Princess, why do you say that? What's unusual about this year's assessment?"

"This year's assessment..." Ji Youyu first pondered for a moment, then sighed: "To be honest, our Tianwu Empire is currently in a perilous situation."

"Externally, we are pressured by two countries and the Demon Path, while internally, the Royal Family is in chaos due to power struggles."

Ji Youyu shook her head, speaking to Lin Feng with few reservations.

"Before last year, our Tianwu Empire already had numerous points of conflict, and now they have completely erupted."

"As for why I advise you not to participate in this year's Xiu Nan assessment." Ji Youyu's eyes showed weariness: "It's because for this year's Xiu Nan assessment, we have some 'distinguished guests' in Kyoto."

"'Distinguished guests'?" Lin Feng captured this crucial information.

"Yes, distinguished guests." Ji Youyu sighed: "The Western Regions Buddhist Kingdom, the Northern Regions Xiongnu, and more than ten first-rate Demon Sects have all arrived in Kyoto this year."

"These guys are eyeing our Royal Family like tigers, just waiting for us to fall apart."

"The Xiu Nan assessment is about to begin, and those ambitious guys are all very interested."

Speaking of this, Ji Youyu looked up at the Man before her who seemed to have stepped out of a painting: "Not only is your appearance like an immortal, but you also possess the Furnace Cauldron Physique. If you participate, you will definitely be among the top three Xiu Nan."

"However, if it really reaches that point, with this group of demons surrounding us, our Royal Family might find it difficult to protect you!"

After hearing Ji Youyu's words, Lin Feng's eyes flickered.

He didn't expect the situation to be this bad. Going to Kyoto at this time would likely be a waste!

However, he looked at the task issued by the System on the System panel, the one about getting first place in the Xiu Nan.

Lin Feng was helpless.

Does he really have to retreat? The price is a kidney!

Sighing, Lin Feng could only speak against his conscience: "Thank you, Ninth Princess, for your concern and for telling me the truth. However, participating in the Xiu Nan assessment is my dream, and I don't want to back down now!"

These words made Ji Youyu pause.

"Lin Feng, you are truly very different from other Men."
