Chapter 618: The Raging Sea Dynasty Undercurrents
Yan Fan was stunned upon hearing this, then flew into a towering rage.
Preposterous! Since the dawn of time, where has there ever been a precedent for sending an Imperial Prince to marry into another family?
I fear that if the Prince were sent out in the morning, the Prince and the Emperor would be at each other's throats at the Meridian Gate by the afternoon.
Those rebels would even have to shout, "With majestic might and killing intent, we serve the throne and earn our merit."
"If the Second Imperial Prince can buy a stake with his thick skin, that is a precedent; sending an Imperial Prince to marry can also be a precedent!" Ye Lin shouted with righteous indignation.
The corner of Yan Fan's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and his gaze turned icy.
Send an Imperial Prince to marry? Is this the kind of solution a human being could come up with?
"I think I understand now. You mean you don't agree to let the Second Imperial Prince buy a stake in your Yihong Zoo, right?"
"Of course not. I certainly agree to let the Second Imperial Prince buy a stake, but it must be done slowly, gradually, and according to the rules," Ye Lin quickly denied.
"Stop spouting dog shit here. I'll ask you one thing: can the Second Imperial Prince buy a stake today?" Yan Fan shouted angrily.
Ye Lin was startled by his extremely furious tone and said tremblingly in a low voice.
"Buy your grandmother's bear."
Yan Fan was stunned for a moment, and then anger ignited in his eyes.
"Good! Very good! Since you are unwilling to latch onto the Second Imperial Prince's thigh, then I guarantee you, this Yihong Zoo of yours will absolutely not be able to stay open!"
"Don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you are playing here. Do you think you can deceive the world just by getting a bunch of shapeshifting spirit beasts?"
Facing Yan Fan's threat, Ye Lin smiled kindly.
"Oh, Lord Yan, what great official authority you have."
"Since you are impervious to reason, then you shall bear the consequences yourself." Yan Fan snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Ye Lin suddenly called out to stop him.
Yan Fan paused, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.
"I knew it. You are a man who knows the current affairs. Have you changed your mind?"
"No, no, no. I just wanted to tell you one thing, Lord Yan."
Ye Lin took out an image-recording stone commonly used in the Everlasting Continent.
"I have recorded your heroic posture when you accepted my storage ring just now. If you act recklessly, I believe the entire Raging Sea Dynasty will soon be able to admire your heroic posture of accepting storage rings."
"You motherf—!"
Yan Fan was furious. When did this brat record that?
The next second, Yan Fan struck out fiercely, the aura of a great cultivator in the Profound Passage Realm fully revealed.
A cold glint flashed by, instantly shattering the image-recording stone in Ye Lin's hand.
However, there was not a hint of panic on Ye Lin's face; instead, he took out another image-recording stone.
"Does Lord Yan like smashing stones? I still have more here. Does Lord Yan want to continue? I made three thousand copies," Ye Lin said with a chuckle, looking completely harmless.
Yan Fan's scalp went numb; he had clearly underestimated this fellow before him.
He took a deep breath, his expression becoming grave.
"This thing can indeed bring me some trouble, but if you think you can use this to threaten me, then you are gravely mistaken!"
"I advise you, it is better not to go against the Second Imperial Prince. I will give you another half day to consider. After dark, if you remain stubborn, don't blame me for being heartless!"
After saying this, Yan Fan flicked his sleeves and left.
Ye Lin stood where he was, his face devoid of any expression.
"Ye Lin, are you sure you want to go against the Second Imperial Prince? The Second Imperial Prince of the Raging Sea Dynasty is definitely not simple."
Qiu Weizhi's expression was extremely grave.
He was previously a team leader at the Lingquan Mine, and when he saw Chen Qi, he had to be respectful.
Yet, if Chen Qi were to encounter the Second Imperial Prince, he would only be fit to kneel on the ground.
"It's not that I want to go against him now; it's that he wants to go against me," Ye Lin said indifferently.
"Big Brother!"
At this moment, the little fatty rushed over in a flurry, his chubby face showing a rare look of gravity.
"Big Brother, something happened! I got news from my side that many big shots within the Raging Sea Dynasty have set their sights on our Yihong Zoo!"
"You're too late. A big shot already sent someone over just now," Ye Lin said with a smile.
He was not surprised that those big shots would set their sights on his zoo.
After all, the ticket price of 50 medium-grade Immortal Source Stones was fixed, and it was not hard to calculate the number of people entering and leaving his zoo every day.
As long as one did a little math, one could know how incredibly profitable his Yihong Zoo was.
However, even if they knew, others could not replicate the Yihong Zoo model.
Because they could not mass-produce shapeshifting spirit beasts like Ye Lin, nor did they have the Heavenly Demon Bliss Art for dual cultivation.
So they could only set their sights on Ye Lin's zoo.
"Ah? How big of a shot?" the little fatty asked.
"The Second Imperial Prince—is that big enough?" Ye Lin laughed.
"Ah? The Second Imperial Prince sent someone? Then we're done for!"
The little fatty seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly continued.
"If the Second Imperial Prince has come, then other big shots certainly won't interfere, but the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Imperial Princes will definitely all come! We've been dragged into the royal struggle!"
The little fatty's expression changed repeatedly; even his Zhen family dared not participate in the infighting between Imperial Princes, as it could easily lead to total destruction.
"When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth."
Ye Lin shrugged indifferently. As for those damn Emperors and Princes, if it weren't for his insufficient strength right now, he would have long since twisted their heads off to use as balls.
"By the way, is there any news on the Black Jade Mending Paste I asked you to help inquire about?" Ye Lin looked at the little fatty and asked.
"No, I haven't even heard of this thing. I estimate the Raging Sea Dynasty doesn't have what you want at all, Big Brother. If you want to find this so-called paste, you'll probably have to go to the Immortal Cloud Sect to ask," the little fatty shook his head like a rattle-drum.
The Immortal Cloud Sect was a famous great cultivation sect in the vicinity, and the so-called Raging Sea Dynasty was merely one of the Immortal Cloud Sect's vassal dynasties.
"The Immortal Cloud Sect..." Ye Lin muttered to himself.
Qiu Weizhi suddenly shivered. He didn't know why, but he felt as if Ye Lin had just glanced at him. Was it his imagination?
"Alright, never mind that for now. Open the doors and continue doing business!"
Ye Lin waved his hand; the strength of their Yihong Zoo was nothing to sneeze at.
If nothing else, Liu Ruyan was already at the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and Ku Yan and Qiu Weizhi had both stepped into the early stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
Added to that were the little fatty Zhen Youqian and Ye Lin himself; no matter who came, it would not be an easy task to forcibly move against the Yihong Zoo.
But the tree desires stillness, yet the wind will not cease. Just as Ye Lin finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Eight ferocious spirit beasts pulled a royal carriage, charging recklessly through the streets of Lingquan County as if there were no one else around.
The royal flag of the Raging Sea Dynasty hung from the carriage shaft, snapping in the wind, looking quite majestic.
A young eunuch followed beside the luxurious carriage, trotting all the way to Ye Lin and the others, and said in a shrill voice.
"The First Imperial Prince has arrived!"
