Chapter 65: Whatever His Highness Gives, I Like
“Smaller?” Zi Lianyou initially didn’t understand.
But then she saw his gaze lingering below her neck, and she suddenly realized, her face blushing.
Instinctively, she covered her chest with her jade-like hands, stammering, “I… used some cloth to bind it.”
Lin Qi’an: ??
“Who taught you to do such a ridiculous thing, ruining natural beauty, it’s simply outrageous!”
“It was… Sister Xueni who said that Your Highness gets dizzy at the sight of breasts…”
Lin Qi’an’s face turned black and didn’t expect this girl to be so cunning!
Telling others to cover up tightly while she often left a tantalizing glimpse of her slender, snowy legs, what a clever tactic!
The dignified Saintess of Tianchi was proficient even in palace intrigue, it seemed she had learned quite a bit of skills.
“Don’t do that again, understand?”
“Mm… I will listen to Your Highness.”
“By the way, Xueni and Yuwei have both received gifts from me, and you still haven’t. Is there anything you want? Just ask.” He wanted to treat his maids as fairly as possible, not favoring any one side too much.
‘I thought His Highness had forgotten about me, but he remembers?’
“As long as it’s from Your Highness, I like it!”
“Alright, wait for me here by this time tomorrow.”
“Yes!”
…
Lingshou Pavilion.
Extremely angry, Xiao Chen continued absorbing the power of spirit beasts.
Only by constantly getting stronger could he trample the Crown Prince underfoot and reclaim everything that was rightfully his.
“Lin Qi’an… You won’t be smug for long. A chosen one like me is destined to dominate this era!”
“When I rise in the future, the first thing will be to destroy you and the entire Tianjian City! Then take all those beautiful maids by your side under my command.”
“Hehe, and your cute little sister, your fiancée, they all belong to me, Xiao Chen.”
People under great pressure often indulge in all kinds of fantasies at night and Xiao Chen was no exception.
Only by envisioning a beautiful future could he have the motivation to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.
“Myriad Beasts Scroll, open!”
A dazzling golden scroll unfolded in mid-air. Flowers, birds, grass, fish, thousands of strange and exotic beasts formed a mystical grand painting.
This supreme treasure was the key to Xiao Chen’s rise. As long as he absorbed rare and fierce beasts, he could become stronger without any cost, progressing rapidly in his cultivation.
Under the Myriad Beasts Scroll, another spirit beast screamed and was absorbed.
The scroll then returned to his body. Xiao Chen exhaled a turbid breath, his aura becoming more solid.
“Fortunately, these low-level spirit beasts can’t speak. No matter how the shopkeeper investigates, he won’t know it’s me.”
“Haha, how could the shopkeeper ever imagine that I got the key from his precious daughter?”
That’s right, after changing his appearance, Xiao Chen successfully courted the shopkeeper’s daughter with his exceptional talent.
After seducing her, he secretly got the key to the Lingshou Pavilion, allowing him to come every day to absorb spirit beasts.
However, he didn’t know that in the dark, someone had already recorded everything with a Memory Stone!
“I really don’t understand why the prince would bother to care about such a small character?”
“If he doesn’t like him, just kill him or expel him from Tianjian City. But it’s okay, as long as I can help the prince, it’s great!”
…
The next morning.
Early in the morning, Ran Yuwei was summoned by Lin Qi’an.
She still wore her exotic, cool outfit, with her exposed soft waist being the most beautiful scenery.
“Your Highness, do you have any orders?” Ran Yuwei asked with a bright smile, her whole body exuding a youthful and cheerful aura, like a vibrant sunflower.
Being summoned alone by the prince gave her a good mood early in the morning.
“Nothing major, my little sister said she also wants to raise a spirit rabbit. Go to Lingshou Pavilion and find a good one to bring back.”
“Oh, okay, Your Highness!” Ran Yuwei didn’t ask much, just running an errand for His Highness, simple.
As soon as she left, a shadowy figure appeared beside Lin Qi’an. It was the subordinate who had spied last night, his name was Mo Yin, extremely skilled in concealment.
“Your Highness.” Mo Yin bowed respectfully.
“Go, and in front of Miss Ran, give the Memory Stone to the shopkeeper.”
“Yes, sir!” Mo Yin immediately disappeared.
It seemed a good show was about to start.
…
Lingshou Pavilion.
Xiao Chen, under the alias Liu Chen, was working normally inside the pavilion.
“Brother Chen, if you’re tired, take a break!” The girl speaking was named Xiu Lan, the shopkeeper’s precious daughter.
Although she couldn’t compare to Ran Yuwei, she was still a pretty wealthy girl. For an inexperienced young lady like her, Xiao Chen’s deception was effortless!
“Not tired, thank you Lan’er, you’re so kind to me.” Xiao Chen took the scented handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, showing a warm smile.
Of course, he didn’t care for ordinary girls like Xiu Lan and he was just using her for fun.
“Xiu Lan, everyone is working, don’t cause trouble!” Seeing his daughter flirting with this boy, the shopkeeper got angry and couldn’t help but scold her.
However, he still thought of grooming this boy well. After he was worthy of his daughter, it would be fine to marry her to him.
The shopkeeper thought.
“I’m not causing trouble, I just want to be with Brother Chen.” Xiu Lan clung to Xiao Chen’s arm, speaking confidently.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen pushed her away. His gaze was fixed on the distance, filled with undisguised passion.
Senior Sister Ran had arrived!
