361: Bluebird: Are you sure this is the human world?

"If it's just looks, they pass. Their talent is fine too, but I don't know about their character," Dao Baifeng said, frowning as she toyed with a chess piece.

"Actually, talent doesn't matter. The Prince can solve that. What's important is looks, figure, and character."

"And of those, character is the most important," Zhao Min spoke up, her voice clear and crisp like jade beads falling on a tray.

"Sister is right, character is most important."

"However, I heard that people from Great Qin arrived today, and their guard is the Great Qin Sword Saint, Gai Nie."

"Supposedly, this Gai Nie is the descendant of Ghost Valley. I wonder how strong he is," Qin Hongmian said curiously.

"Sword Saint or not, in front of the Prince, he's nothing."

"Who dares to be called a Saint before the Prince?" Dao Baifeng curled her lip in disdain.

"Giggle... Sister is right. With the Prince's current strength, who in the Nine Provinces Continent is his match?"

"Even Wang Xianzhi of Martial Emperor City, who is known as the world's second strongest, is no match for the Prince."

"If the Prince didn't dislike such empty fame, there would be no place for him!" Zhao Min giggled, her large eyes curving into crescents.

"That's right. That Wang Xianzhi from Liyang's Martial Emperor City calls himself the world's second, but before the Prince, he's not even worth mentioning."

"He only stays in Martial Emperor City and hasn't actively looked for trouble with the Prince. Otherwise, the Prince would have dealt with him long ago," Qin Hongmian nodded.

"Don't worry about that. The Prince doesn't care about empty fame. As long as Wang Xianzhi doesn't look for trouble, the Prince won't bother with him."

"However, last night, it seems the Prince took in those two from the Beiliang Princes Estate."

"It looks like the Prince has agreed to the Alliance with the Prince of Beiliang," Dao Baifeng said with a frown.

"Not necessarily..."

Zhao Min had a different opinion from Dao Baifeng.

"Oh? Sister Min Min, do you know something?" Dao Baifeng looked up at Zhao Min curiously.

"Sister, don't you know? The Prince is not one to suffer a loss."

"I remember when that girl named Red Musk came, she wanted to exchange herself for an Alliance between the Kingdom and Northern Liang."

"But the Prince set a condition. Based on yesterday's situation, the Prince of Beiliang didn't agree to the condition but sent another beauty instead."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Prince of Beiliang probably wants to send both Red Musk and that girl named Qingniao together, hoping to satisfy the Prince's condition."

"It's true the Prince took them in, but I bet the Prince must have changed the conditions. It's not an Alliance."

"Sister, think about it. Xu Xiao, the Prince of Beiliang, wanting to achieve an Alliance with the Prince using just two maidservants is simply laughable."

"If those two were Xu Xiao's daughters, maybe. But I heard Xu Xiao only has one daughter, and she's already married."

"How could he expect to trade two maidservants for an Alliance with the Kingdom?" Zhao Min analyzed with a smile.

"Hmm, your analysis makes sense."

"The Prince's favors aren't that cheap. Xu Xiao is truly naive to think he can board the Prince's ship with just two maidservants," Dao Baifeng nodded.

Zhao Min's analysis was logical; she didn't think Duan Zhengchun would agree so easily.

Moreover, it was said that a Princess had arrived from Great Qin today.

Comparing the King of Qin to Xu Xiao, the difference in stature was not just a little bit.

"Hasn't Sister Xiao Zhao already gone? I'm sure there will be news soon," Qin Hongmian said with a smile.

As she spoke, the sound of footsteps was heard.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Xiao Zhao leading a stunning beauty toward them quickly.

"There, she's here," Zhao Min said with a grin, looking toward Xiao Zhao.

"Sisters, look who I've brought," Xiao Zhao excitedly pulled Ying Man into the pavilion.

The others, hearing the commotion, quickly put down their work and gathered around.

Being surrounded by so many stunning beauties all at once made Ying Man a bit nervous.

Normally, she wouldn't be intimidated by such a scene, but these beauties were to become her sisters.

They would live together and call each other sisters from now on.

She was worried about what would happen if those in front of her were unwilling to accept her.

"Ying Man greets my sisters..." Ying Man performed a courtly bow to Dao Baifeng, Zhao Min, and the others.

"Sister, there's no need to be so formal. Since you've entered the Prince's estate, we are all sisters now," Dao Baifeng smiled and helped Ying Man up.

"Sister is right. If there's anything I do wrong in the future, please be patient with me," Ying Man nodded.

"You're joking. In the Prince's estate, all we need to do is serve the Prince well. There aren't many other rules."

"However, looking at your speech and mannerisms, you don't seem like an ordinary person. Are you that Princess from Great Qin?" Dao Baifeng looked at Ying Man curiously.

"Yes. But there is no Princess anymore, only the ordinary Ying Man," Ying Man nodded with a smile.

"Ying Man? As expected, you are Great Qin's most favored Princess."

"I didn't expect the King of Qin to be so sincere as to send you to the Prince's side," Dao Baifeng looked at Ying Man in surprise.

"Sister, you flatter me..."

Ying Man smiled and didn't explain further.

Since things had come to this, there was no need for further explanation.

"Alright, enough of that. Come, sit here. We're all sisters now, no need to be so restrained," Dao Baifeng pulled Ying Man to sit in the pavilion.

The women soon became acquainted, chatting and laughing together.

Ying Man had a gentle personality and would chime in occasionally, but most of the time she listened to them talk about interesting things.

This made Ying Man feel that this large family was not as difficult to get along with as she had imagined.

At this moment, two more graceful figures approached. It was Red Musk and Qingniao, who had come out to get some fresh air after waking up.

They had come over after hearing the noise in the back garden. When they saw all the women there, shock appeared on their faces.

They weren't just shocked by the number of people, but more so that every single one was a peerless beauty, even more beautiful than the two of them.

Originally, Red Musk and Qingniao were quite confident in their looks.

Although not the absolute top of the Jianghu, they were one-in-a-million beauties. However, in front of Duan Zhengchun's women, they realized the gap was too large.

Whether in temperament or appearance, the difference was too great.

"Red Musk, do you think we came to the wrong place? Are you sure this is the mortal world?" Qingniao frowned and looked at Red Musk in confusion.

"You're asking me? How should I know? This is my first time here too," Red Musk looked at Qingniao in astonishment.

"Then... should we still go over?" Qingniao hesitated, unsure if they should approach.

"Go. Of course we go. We are already the Prince's people; we have to face this eventually," Red Musk took a deep breath, her expression calm and determined as she walked forward.

Qingniao was stunned for a moment, then followed.
