Chapter 70: Am I a Man? The Princess Arrives!
“Alright, I’ll help you massage them.” Lin Qi’an sat on the bed and placed Zhao Qingmeng’s feet on his lap. He held one foot and gently massaged it.
Zhao Qingmeng was dying of embarrassment. She had asked him to massage her feet, but did he actually have to do it?
However… it felt so good!
This was an experience she never had in her past life. She didn’t expect Lin Qi’an to be so gentle. Her hatred value decreased by another 5 points, now at 40.
After a while, Lin Qi’an asked, “Feeling better? Should I massage the other foot as well?”
‘You’ve got to be kidding me, you pervert. Even after being reborn, you’re still such a rogue.’
Zhao Qingmeng couldn’t take it any longer! If she couldn’t win over Lin Qi’an soon, her sister would arrive… Once their relationship improved, there would be no room for her to interfere. And with Su Xueni as a rival, how long would she have to wait for her turn?
Zhao Qingmeng stood up angrily and shouted, “Lin Qi’an, are you even a man?!”
“What do you mean by that, Your Highness? I’m helping you massage your feet; how does that make me less of a man?” Lin Qi’an frowned.
As a man, such words were intolerable.
“I am the princess of Tianlang Immortal Dynasty, no, the imperial princess! How am I not worthy of you? Across the Canglan Dao Domain, countless men dream of me, obsessed with my beauty.”
“Even though I may not have my sister’s natural charm, I have my own strengths! I am light, gentle, and easy to push down, you know? You don’t even take the meat delivered to your mouth; you’re not a man!”
Zhao Qingmeng finally vented all her dissatisfaction. Any other man would probably not endure such taunts.
Indeed, Lin Qi’an couldn’t tolerate it. He grabbed her delicate body with a swift motion.
“Hey, Lin Qi’an, what are you doing!?”
“I’ll show you what it means to be a man!” Lin Qi’an raised his hand and smacked her buttocks hard.
Zhao Qingmeng cried out in pain, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief. As an imperial princess, cherished and loved since childhood, not even her parents had the heart to hit her. She was destined to be a future empress, overlooking the world. Yet here she was, being spanked bare-bottomed by this man!
This was truly shameful and infuriating. Moreover, she had no ability to resist, as her personal guards and protectors had all been dismissed.
Smack!
“Lin Qi’an, you’ve lost your mind! How dare you hit me?!”
Smack!
“Help! The Crown Prince of Beiyang is attacking me! Someone, help!”
“You can scream all you want. This is my territory, no one will come to save you,” Lin Qi’an sneered. “Let me show you if I’m a man.”
Smack!
“Lin Qi’an, you’re shameless, perverted, and despicable!”
Smack!
“Woo woo woo, you’re bullying me…” Zhao Qingmeng cried, her tears falling like pear blossoms in the rain. She was both ashamed and angry, her buttocks burning with pain.
Smack!
“Your Highness, now tell me, am I a man?”
“You are, you are… You’re my good brother, the manliest man in the world!” Zhao Qingmeng almost pleaded.
Smack!
“I said it already, and you’re still hitting me. You bastard!”
“I’ll keep hitting. Don’t worry, I’ll give you healing pills afterward, so no one will notice.”
“Lin Qi’an, you are ruthless.”
Smack!
At this moment, Lin Qi’an noticed something strange. Zhao Qingmeng’s hatred value decreased!
‘No way, does my princess have this kind of fetish?’ He was shocked. Knowing this, Lin Qi’an got even more addicted to spanking her. That night, the princess experienced the greatest humiliation of her life, both painful and pleasurable…
Until midnight, Lin Qi’an finally left her quarters, satisfied, and instructed Su Xueni to bring her healing pills.
At first, Su Xueni was puzzled. How could the princess be injured? But upon entering the room, she was stunned! If the Tai’an Emperor knew his daughter was beaten like this, he would probably fight the Sword Emperor to the death.
The Crown Prince is too crazy…
“Woo woo woo, I’m the Empress, and he hit me. He actually hit me!”
“Alright, alright, Empress, be good. Come and take your medicine,” Su Xueni hurried to comfort her.
“I don’t want it!”
“If you don’t take it, you’ll be in pain all night.”
“Then I’ll take it…”
At this point, she had to find another way. First, dealing with her sister might work. She’s foolish enough to aim to become an empress but wants to break off the engagement with Lin Qi’an? Doesn’t she know that Lin Qi’an is the true path to becoming an emperor?
She’ll regret it once she finds out. In the past life, her arrogance prevented her from dual cultivating with him, so she became an empress even slower than she did. In this life, as long as she doesn’t get involved with Lin Qi’an, her chances will be abundant.
‘Sigh, why did it feel good to be hit by Lin Qi’an?’

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Princess Zhao Yunji’s carriage officially arrived in Tianjian City! It caused a sensation throughout the city. People gazed at the luxurious carriage flying in the sky and buzzed with excitement.
“Did you see that? The most beautiful woman in the Canglan Dao Domain is sitting in that carriage!”
“Isn’t she the Crown Prince’s fiancée?”
“Yes, but unfortunately, we don’t have the privilege to see her in person… She’s a true fairy.”
“I’ve heard storytellers say that Princess Zhao Yunji of Tai’an has innate charm and extreme nobility, a combination that makes her incredibly alluring.”
“Some people have just seen her from afar and never married because of it! One glance ruined their lives.”
When Zhao Yunji entered Tianjian City, Lin Qi’an did not personally greet her but sent his subordinates instead. After all, she came to break off the engagement, not as a guest. If she didn’t intend to give him face, why should he give her any?
“Lin Qi’an is utterly disrespectful! The princess herself is here, and he doesn’t even come out to greet her? How is he different from a country bumpkin?” The captain of the guards, Ye Yun, frowned, full of disdain.
“Silence!”
—
Unexpectedly, a clear voice came from the luxurious carriage. “Insulting the Crown Prince in Tianjian City, do you want to die?”
“Apologies, I only feel it’s unworthy for Your Highness to have such a fiancé, bringing shame to your name.” Ye Yun felt somewhat pleased, believing that the princess was concerned about him. This time, he must help her break off the engagement!
—
At this moment, Lin Qi’an heard a new prompt in his mind.
【Ding! Detected the Child of Destiny ‘Ye Yun,’ successfully involved in the plot.】
【Son of Destiny: Ye Yun】
Secret Treasures: Yang Sword, Mountain and River Scripture
Luck: 1200 (Golden)
Luck Core: 《Great Yang Emperor Technique》
Current Kill Reward: None
Prompt: When the target’s destiny is reduced below 100, you can seize its luck core, obtain permanent luck points, and receive all rewards.
‘Oh? Another protagonist with a high destiny value of 1200?’
It looks like he might be even more formidable than Xiao Chen! Activating the Divine Eyes of Destiny, Lin Qi’an instantly located him. It turns out he is the princess’s guard!
Ye Yun, like Zhao Qingmeng, is a target with kill rewards, while Zhao Yunji should be a destiny heroine, like Su Xueni and others. As for whether to kill or subdue them, it depends on their hatred values.
【Ye Yun, Hatred Value: 100】
【Zhao Yunji, Hatred Value: 30】
‘Alright, it seems Ye Yun has some grudge against my Lin family. Or perhaps he is jealous? No matter, the kill route is the right route.’
‘This way, there will be three protagonists of destiny intertwined in Beiyang’s Tianjian City. Xiao Chen and Ye Yun need to be killed, Zhao Qingmeng needs to be subdued. This will be quite a spectacle!’
If it were elsewhere, Lin Qi’an might not have the confidence to deal with three people at once. But here in Beiyang, on his turf, he can play slowly!
The Sword Emperor wouldn’t interfere in these young people’s matters. They had to resolve it by their own abilities.

Outside the Heavenly Palace, on the lawn, Lin Qi’an was playing Cuju (kickball) with his sister, three stunningly beautiful maids, and the charming Zhao Qingmeng. A leather-wrapped ball was kicked around, and laughter filled the air.
These saintesses and fairies, who were usually high above and admired by many, had never played such a folk game. They found it incredibly novel!
Zhao Qingmeng, an empress in her previous life, originally had no interest in this activity. But thinking of annoying her sister, she became enthusiastic. She had to admit, in the Cuju game, Zi Lianyou, in her new dress, became the most stunning sight.
No, it was almost a crime. While the fairies played Cuju, Lin Qi’an leisurely watched, feeling quite at ease.
“The princess has arrived!” With the announcement, everyone turned their attention to the steps.
Zhao Yunji, wearing a golden long dress adorned with nine phoenixes dancing around the sun, perfectly showcased her nobility. Her brows were like distant mountains, her skin flawless.
Her exquisite face seemed to encompass all beauty. Her eyes were cold and indifferent, yet she exuded a unique charm due to her innate seductive bones. She truly deserved to be called the number one fairy in the Canglan Dao Domain!
Zhao Yunji was displeased. Her slender brows furrowed slightly. She had come to Tianjian City, and as her nominal fiancé, Lin Qi’an did not come out to greet her. Instead, he played Cuju with his confidantes? How disgraceful!
Wait…
As a destiny heroine, Zhao Yunji naturally noticed the anomalies around Lin Qi’an. Dao essence flowed around him, and dragon energy coiled around his body. Just looking at him, she felt an indescribable aura of the Dao emanating from him!
‘How is this possible?!’ In an instant, this noble princess’s eyes showed a brief moment of daze.
As someone well-read, she knew that only the legendary Dragon Yang Dao Physique could have such phenomena! Lin Qi’an possesses such a divine physique? Why has there been no news of this!
At that moment, the princess’s emotions became very complicated.
