Fortunately, after absorbing this large wave of breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang’s strength did not break through to the Late-stage of the Five Viscera Refinement realm, but it was already very close.
Although Zhang Mingli was quite beautiful, she was really a scourge. On the surface, she came to comfort Zhu Wuyang, but from the beginning to the end, Zhu Wuyang only heard one sentence from Zhang Mingli’s touching words.
Or rather, Zhang Mingli’s main purpose for running over was to say this.
Zhu Wuyang, be a good f*cking shield and stop causing so much trouble!
At the end of the day, the main reason why Zhang Mingli and her son, Zhu Libo, were so worried about Zhu Wuyang and hoped that he remained alive was to let Zhu Wuyang stay in the position of the Crown Prince for a longer time.
Otherwise, if Zhu Wuyang died too early, Zhu Libo might be pushed to the position of Crown Prince. The chances were not small. Therefore, Zhang Mingli and Zhu Libo could be said to be extremely concerned about Zhu Wuyang’s life and death.
It was true that they were worried about Zhu Wuyang’s safety, but it was also true that they hoped that Zhu Wuyang would be their shield.
In the end, Zhang Mingli and Zhu Libo were not good people.
However, compared to the 14th Princess and the 47th Prince, they were not that overboard. It was actually a good thing for Zhu Wuyang.
Compared to true villains like Zhen Le and Feng Yuan, who were sent by Zhu Yandou, Zhu Wuyang preferred the hypocritical Zhu Libo and Zhang Mingli who had scruples.
After all, Zhu Wuyang was the Crown Prince of the Jiu Zhao Nation. However, Zhen Le, Feng Yuan, and the others were simply unrestrained and did not take the Crown Prince, Zhu Wuyang, seriously at all.
If it weren’t for the Princes and Princesses like Zhu Libo and Zhu Wensi, Zhu Wuyang would definitely be living a miserable life now.
It was unknown if Zhang Mingli’s visit had unleashed some taboo, or if she had set an example, but soon, another Prince came to visit Zhu Wuyang.
“Congratulations to the host for seeing the 94th Prince of the Jiu Zhao Kingdom, Zhu Zhishan, for the first time in your life. You have obtained 600 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations, host. This is the first time you’ve seen the 122nd Prince of the Jiu Zhao Nation, Zhu Haitao…”
“Congratulations to the host for seeing the Prince of an ancient country for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,000 breakthrough points…”
… .
Zhu Wuyang was very helpless. He did not expect that he would be able to obtain so many breakthrough points just by meeting a few Princes with ill intentions.
Was this considered a special encounter?
After some consideration, Zhu Wuyang thought to himself that as an ordinary person who had transmigrated from modern society, meeting such a big shot from an ancient dynasty did seem to be a special encounter. When he met Zhang Mingli in the morning, he had also obtained many breakthrough points because of this.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wuyang could only admit defeat.
Seeing Zhu Wuyang lying in bed, these two so-called Royal Brothers were not so easy to talk to.
“168th Royal Brother, it seems that your injuries are not light. You can’t even get out of bed. Tsk tsk, do you want me to call the imperial physician over to treat you?”
“I feel that ever since our younger brother has become the Crown Prince. He doesn’t even like us two older brothers anymore.”
… .
When Zhu Zhishan and Zhu Haitao saw the two of them, Zhu Wuyang did not even get out of bed to welcome them.
“Congratulations to the host for being mocked by the 94th Prince, Zhu Zhishan, for the first time in your life. You have obtained 500 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for being mocked by the 122nd Prince, Zhu Haitao. You have obtained 500 breakthrough points…”
… .
Zhu Wuyang said apologetically, “Royal Brothers, please don’t blame me. I was scared out of my wits by what happened yesterday and haven’t had much rest. I just slept for a while and woke up to see you. I’ll get up now.”
Although he said that, Zhu Wuyang did not even move.
Zhu Zhishan and Zhu Haitao did not want to make things difficult for him, so they hurriedly persuaded Zhu Wuyang. Zhu Wuyang also continued to lie down to avoid being discovered by the Early-stage Xiantian realm guards brought by the two of them.
However, with Zhu Wuyang’s current attainments in the Azure Dragon Concealment Art, it was not difficult to hide from the detection of the two Early-stage Xiantian realm guards. He was just afraid that he would be tricked too badly by the Extraordinary Encounters System later and obtain too many breakthrough points. He would not be able to suppress the commotion.
Therefore, for safety reasons, it was better to hide under the blanket.
After putting away the supplements they had brought, Zhu Zhishan and Zhu Haitao began to persuade Zhu Wuyang.
“168th Royal Brother, why are you doing this to yourself? Self-immolation isn’t a smart thing to do. After all, it wasn’t easy for you to become the Crown Prince of the Jiu Zhao Nation. Why don’t you enjoy the feeling of having power in your hands? Only a fool would do such a thing.”
“Even if this position really leads to death, I’ll enjoy every moment of my life. Why should you have something against a good life? Instead of burning myself to death, I might as well enjoy myself.”
“What are you talking about? Whoever said that being the Crown Prince of the Jiu Zhao Nation would definitely be finished? The first 17 Crown Princes were too outstanding, which was why they attracted death. However, it’s different for Royal Brother 168th. He’s mediocre and incompetent. No matter how jealous Father is of talent, he won’t be jealous of Royal Brother 168th.”
“Err… that’s not what your Imperial Brother 94th meant. Actually, there are still some redeeming qualities about Imperial Brother 168th. For example, he’s honest and innocent. This is a quality that most Princes and Princesses don’t have. I especially like such people. However, what Imperial Brother 94th said makes sense. No matter how jealous Imperial Father is of talents, only those with talent are capable of attracting his jealousy. If not, he naturally won’t be jealous. Therefore, Imperial Brother 168th can rest assured and do well in your position as Crown Prince.”
“As long as Royal Brother 168th can safely become the Crown Prince and last until Father dies and tactfully gives up the position of the Crown Prince, you will definitely be able to become a rich Prince in the end. You will be able to enjoy endless wealth in this lifetime, so there’s no need to worry too much.”
… .
These two royal brothers were really daring. However, they were also certain that Zhu Wuyang would not dare to speak nonsense, so they said some things more bluntly. Zhu Wuyang quite admired them.
It was fine if these two bastards were talking nonsense, but why did they bring me so many breakthrough points!
Damn it!
