Chapter 619: The Imperial Prince Arrives

After the shrill voice of the little eunuch rang out, he looked down his nose at Ye Lin and the others.

"Knowing that the First Imperial Prince has arrived, why have you not yet knelt in obeisance?"

His voice sounded like a drake with its throat pinched, grating on the ears and causing irritation.

Seeing that neither Ye Lin nor the others had any intention of kneeling, the little eunuch's eyes widened even further.

"The Imperial Prince has arrived, and you dare not bow? You have some nerve!"

The little eunuch was so anxious he was hopping mad, but at this moment, a steady male voice sounded.

"Alright, that is enough, Xiao Dezi, you may step back."

"My Imperial Father has taught me that when treating talented people, one must be humble and courteous. A mere act of kneeling, why make such a fuss over it?"

The carriage curtain moved without wind, revealing a handsome face as if carved by a knife and axe.

The man wore a python robe, his figure was tall and slender, and he possessed an air of opulence.

It must be said, judging solely by his appearance, the First Imperial Prince was truly impeccable and could be called a handsome man.

He walked down slowly with a smile on his face.

"You must be Ye Lin, right? Hello, I am the First Imperial Prince of the Raging Sea Dynasty, Nangong Wuji."

Nangong Wuji took the initiative to reach out his hand toward Ye Lin.

"I won't eat it, thank you."

Ye Lin said politely.

Nangong Wuji was stunned for a moment, and his smile froze on his face.

However, he quickly readjusted himself and said to Ye Lin with a smile.

"Ye Lin, I believe you should also understand the situation of your Yihong Zoo."

"Not only have the Second Prince and I set our sights on you, but the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Princes are also on their way."

"No matter whom you choose, you will inevitably offend the other five. Among these six Imperial Princes, I, as the First Imperial Prince, am the most likely to become the next Emperor of the Raging Sea Dynasty."

"You are a smart man; you should understand that this Imperial Prince is your best choice."

Having said this, the First Imperial Prince beamed, as if he had already secured Ye Lin.

"And unlike the Second Prince, I am not so greedy. I only want forty percent of your Yihong Zoo's profits!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin was almost amused to the point of laughter.

Whose bad habits were these princes raised with, one after another? Was it Sun Haonan who spoiled them?

It was bad enough that they all wanted to seize things by force, but they even acted as if they were doing it for his own good.

Ye Lin could not even remember how long it had been since he had suffered such grievances.

"So, does that mean I have to thank you?" Ye Lin asked sarcastically.

But Nangong Wuji did not seem to hear the mockery in Ye Lin's words; he nodded with satisfaction.

"There is no need to thank me. As long as you can understand the stakes involved, that is enough. Rest assured, follow me, and in the future, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"

It hardened.

His fist hardened.

A wisp of electric arc danced silently at Ye Lin's fingertips, and thick dark clouds gathered in the sky, though no one knew when they had formed.

If this bolt of lightning were to strike, Ye Lin guaranteed that the First Imperial Prince before him would not even have a single hair left.

But at the same time, his Yihong Zoo business would no longer be able to continue.

Thinking of the massive profits the Yihong Zoo could bring him, Ye Lin took a deep breath, and his gaze became calm.

The lowly life of a mere First Imperial Prince was not worth that many Immortal Source Stones.

"What? Are you unwilling? The other princes are not as easy to talk to as I am."

The First Imperial Prince did not yet know that he had just walked before the gates of hell, and he continued to question Ye Lin.

"Thank you for your kindness, First Imperial Prince, but my Yihong Zoo has no plans to join anyone for the time being," Ye Lin said with a smile.

The First Imperial Prince's face darkened, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly seemed to notice something, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"I believe you will change your mind very soon."

A rumble echoed through the street, and in the blink of an eye, another group of people arrived in a grand procession.

A young man, also wearing a python robe like the First Imperial Prince, rode in on a fierce beast. His appearance was somewhat similar to the First Imperial Prince, but he possessed a bit more of a sinister air.

Seeing that the First Imperial Prince, Nangong Wuji, was already here, the Third Imperial Prince, Nangong Wuyuan, became even more sullen.

"Big Brother, you move quite fast. Could it be that this Yihong Zoo has already been brought under your command?"

"No, the owner of this Yihong Zoo does not think much of this Imperial Prince. If you have the ability to make him submit to you, please feel free," the First Imperial Prince chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the Third Imperial Prince breathed a secret sigh of relief.

He had been afraid that he had arrived a step too late, but fortunately, the owner of this Yihong Zoo was an unappreciative person, which gave him, Nangong Wuyuan, an opportunity.

He did not believe in his big brother's way of being humble and courteous; only what one actually swallowed into their own stomach was truly their own.

"Men!"

"Take everyone in this Yihong Zoo for this Imperial Prince! If anyone dares to resist, kill them without mercy!"

A fierce glint flashed in the Third Imperial Prince's eyes, and as he gave the order, the guards behind him immediately surrounded Ye Lin and the others.

"Third Imperial Prince, may I ask what crime we have committed?" Qiu Weizhi hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"When you see this Imperial Prince and fail to perform the kowtow, that is the grave crime of despising imperial authority. Is there any problem with me having you taken down?" the Third Imperial Prince said coldly.

Qiu Weizhi was momentarily speechless. If the Third Imperial Prince was truly going to harp on this point, they were indeed in the wrong.

Seeing that the Third Imperial Prince's men were about to seize Ye Lin and the others, Liu Ruyan, Kui Yan, and the others all cast their gazes toward Ye Lin, waiting for him to make a decision.

If Ye Lin said to fight, they would act without the slightest hesitation.

But Ye Lin seemed to have no intention of fighting, his expression incomparably calm.

Seeing that the Third Imperial Prince's men had already rushed to the front, everyone's attention was focused on Ye Lin and his group.

The First Imperial Prince sneered repeatedly; Nangong Wuyuan was not as easy to talk to as he was.

This third younger brother of his was ruthless and vengeful.

Since this Ye Lin refused to submit to him, it would be better to wait until he had been taught a lesson by his third brother, and then he would step in to conquer his heart.

Just as the First Imperial Prince was calculating his plans, a scene that left him dumbfounded occurred.

Ye Lin spoke directly to the Third Imperial Prince.

"Third Imperial Prince, do not act. I am willing to take the Yihong Zoo and join you, becoming a tool for you to earn money and accumulate wealth."

The First Imperial Prince was instantly stunned.

What does that mean?

What is the meaning of this?

He had just been humble and courteous, saying all the right things, yet this Ye Lin was completely unmoved.

Now his third brother comes, starts fighting immediately, and this guy just submits?

This is like chasing a girl for three years, holding her in your hands for fear she might fall, keeping her in your mouth for fear she might melt, being gentle and obedient to her in every way, yet she remains very cold to you.

At this moment, your brother comes along, slaps the girl twice, and the girl's eyes immediately start lingering on your brother—can you handle that?

The Third Imperial Prince sneered.

"You are sensible. Since that is the case, I will not make things difficult for you. This Yihong Zoo will still be managed by you; I will not interfere, as long as you hand over sixty percent of the profits on time every month."

"No problem, Ye Lin is willing to serve the Third Imperial Prince with all his heart until his dying day!" Ye Lin agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that Ye Lin was about to become the Third Imperial Prince's man, the First Imperial Prince could no longer sit still.

"Stop! Please stop for a moment!"
