Chapter 67: I Am Very Happy to be by the Prince’s Side!
“Tell me, how did you sneak in here?” the shopkeeper questioned sternly. He had never given the key to any of the employees.
Unexpectedly, his daughter raised her hand. “I gave it to him… Brother Chen! You said you needed it to take care of the spirit beasts at night. You lied to me terribly!” Xiu Lan cried, her face wet with tears.
But all the scolding and rebuke, Xiao Chen didn’t care. What he cared about was Senior Sister Ran standing in front of him. He raised his head and met her cold gaze.
Ran Yuwei said coldly, “Xiao Chen, I didn’t expect you to change your appearance and do such things. To get stronger, are you really willing to resort to any means?”
Everyone was stunned, even Xiu Lan stopped crying. This Liu Chen actually knew the maid of the prince?
“Senior Sister Ran, I…”
“Don’t call me Senior Sister! I don’t have a junior brother like you!” Ran Yuwei looked at Xiu Lan. “To get stronger, you even deceived a woman’s feelings, are you still a man?”
“I am!” Xiao Chen retorted loudly, clenching his fists. “I didn’t deceive her feelings!”
Hearing this, Xiu Lan’s heart calmed a bit. No matter what bad things Brother Chen had done, as long as he still loved her, there was room for redemption.
“My feelings for you, Senior Sister Ran, have never changed! Everything I did was to win you back!” Xiao Chen declared firmly.
Xiu Lan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her face turned pale, and she fainted on the spot.
“Are you crazy? I’m very happy to be by the prince’s side. I hope you won’t disturb my life anymore, and don’t harbor any ill intentions towards the prince.”
Leaving these words, Ran Yuwei walked away without looking back.
“Get out, get out of here! Scoundrel!” The shopkeeper cursed, kicking and punching Xiao Chen.
The guards of the Lingshou Pavilion also started to drive him out.
“This scoundrel isn’t even human!”
“Yes, the young lady of the Lingshou Pavilion treated him with all her heart, and he used her!”
“Heartless scum, he deserves to die!”
On the street, many onlookers threw eggs and vegetables at him, leaving him in a sorry state.
‘Lin Qi’an, it must be you… It’s definitely your doing! Fine, very well! No matter how much you suppress me, as long as I have a breath left, I, Xiao Chen, will make you regret it!’
The so-called protagonist grows through ridicule and hardship, he firmly believed this was just a trial, and the future would be a bright path.
【Ding! Xiao Chen is despised by everyone, Luck Value -100, Host Villain Points +1000】
Lin Qi’an couldn’t help but want to applaud. What a great show! His exquisite arrangement not only suppressed Xiao Chen but also did the Lingshou Pavilion a great favor, freeing the girl who had been deceived.
It was a win-win-win situation.
Xiao Chen’s remaining Luck Value was not much. With the “Heavenly Fate Villain Divine Eyes,” Lin Qi’an could locate Xiao Chen at any time, controlling his life and death.
He hoped Xiao Chen could hold on for a while longer and find more treasures. Fattening him up before the slaughter would be a full meal.
After enjoying a good show, Lin Qi’an stretched and headed to the Seven Treasures Pavilion in Tianjian City to pick a gift for Lianyou and help Lingyu reshape her body. He never broke his promises.
The Qibao Pavilion was the core of Beiyang! It stored numerous divine skills, spiritual pills, and heavenly treasures. It was the foundation of Beiyang!
Naturally, the guards were extremely strict, with countless strong practitioners guarding it. At the entrance, there was even a quasi-Saint elder personally stationed!
To enter the pavilion, one must have a pass. Once, a Saint tried to break in and was killed on the spot by a Great Emperor of the city.
“Prince!”
“Greetings, Prince!”
As Lin Qi’an arrived, everyone saluted. With the prince’s personal visit, he passed through unimpeded. At the entrance, Lin Qi’an looked at the two quasi-Saint guards and said calmly, “I’m here to fetch two items.”
“Please enter, prince.”
Entering the pavilion smoothly, Lin Qi’an first headed to the treasure area.
“What does the prince need?” the person in charge asked.
“A dress.”
“Is it for Princess Hongyu?”
“No, a larger size.”
After careful selection, Lin Qi’an prepared the dress to give to Zi Lianyou that evening. Next, he went to the pill area, where the rich scent of pills filled the air.
“Is Elder Dan here?”
“Yes, Your Highness, he’s in the alchemy room. You can go in directly.”
“Okay.”
Passing through layers of guards, Lin Qi’an knocked on the door of a stone room. Soon, a displeased voice came from inside.
“I said don’t disturb my alchemy, are you looking for death?”
“Elder Dan, it’s me, Qi’an.”
The stone door opened with a bang. An old man with white hair and beard, yet full of vigor and dressed sloppily, greeted him.
“Ah, it’s you, boy! Why didn’t you say earlier? Come in.” The old man warmly invited him in. “I’ve just made some Nine Cycle Golden Pills, take some, and bring some for Hongyu too!” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
“No need, Elder Dan, we had enough of those when we were kids.” Lin Qi’an quickly waved his hand.
As children, he and his elder sister and younger sister ate all kinds of spiritual pills like candy and had maximized their potential.
“Hey, you’re rejecting my pills now! Hmph, my pills are worth a fortune after ten thousand years!”
“No, no, I actually came to ask you for a favor today.”
Lin Qi’an took out the Nine Yang Divine Sword. Lingyu was beyond surprised, this old man was a top alchemist of the Canglan Dao Domain, known as the Pill Emperor!
“Elder Dan, I have a friend, a sword spirit with a remnant soul. I would like to ask you to refine a body for her, is it possible?”
Hearing this, Lingyu’s heart surged with waves of shock! She had known Beiyang had deep foundations but never expected the prince to ask the Pill Emperor to refine a body for her!
The prince truly kept his promises. Lingyu’s goodwill towards him increased greatly.
“Haha, refining a body is no problem.”
Elder Dan stroked his beard and smiled. “Leave the sword, I’ll put it in the furnace, and the girl will absorb the medicinal power to form a body. Don’t worry about being seen.”
Haha, Elder Dan even considered a girl’s sense of shame. This method was perfect! After all, Lingyu was also a girl.
“Thank you, Elder Dan. Next time, I’ll bring some fine Immortal Jade Brew from my father’s cellar!”
“You really know how to please an old man!”
Lingyu was extremely excited. Was she finally going to have a body? It all seemed too easy, almost unreal.
Having been a sacrificial sword spirit for a thousand years, she had always longed for a body to experience the world.
‘Finally… following the prince was indeed the right choice.’
“Thank you, Prince!”
“Thank you, Elder Dan!”
A sword spirit with a body still couldn’t stray too far from the sword. But it didn’t matter, staying by the prince’s side and becoming his strength was already great.
…
At night.
Lin Qi’an had an appointment with Zi Lianyou. They met as scheduled.
“Your Highness!” The girl in the purple dress had a slender figure and a beautiful face. The bright moonlight bathed her, giving her a holy glow.
“Let’s go to my sleeping quarters.”
“To… to Your Highness’s sleeping quarters?”
