Chapter 664: I Happen to Be Missing a Eunuch by My Side

~9 min read 1,658 words

Facing Chu Yu's barrage of words, a cold glint flickered in the Third Prince's eyes.

But he was not a reckless man; he knew that for Chu Yu to show her hand like this, she must have something to rely on.

Could it be these two?

He looked at Yin Qi and Chen Nan again, and said calmly, "Princess Yu, why say such things? I kindly escorted you here, yet you speak to me like this; it truly breaks my heart. By the way, I still don't know what to call these two brothers?"

"Yin Qi."

"Chen Nan."

Yin Qi and Chen Nan stated their names.

"Nobodies."

The Third Prince tried hard to recall, only to find that there were no such figures in the Chu Kingdom.

His expression changed, and he said coldly, "Princess Yu, I've played along with your act the whole way; is this your reliance?

If so, then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed.

Hand over the Houyi Bow and come with me obediently, otherwise, I cannot guarantee what will happen next."

Chu Yu feared no chaos; she said with great interest, "Is that so? I am quite curious about what you want to do next. Why don't you show me now?"

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Attack! Capture Chu Yu, and as for the others, kill them without mercy."

The Third Prince snorted coldly.

With a wave of his hand, the twenty-plus people behind him charged toward Chu Yu and the others, as well as Yin Qi and Chen Nan.

"Yin Qi, help me!"

Seeing the Third Prince's men charging over, Chu Yu had no intention of fighting at all and ran toward Yin Qi, shouting loudly.

As for her own guards, they took the initiative to meet the charge.

Yin Qi shook his head, then used his right foot to scrape up and flick a fist-sized stone; he caught it, crushed it, and threw it at the people from the Hundred Yue Kingdom.

It was like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden, or a machine gun firing wildly.

Swish! Swish!

The gravel pierced the air and struck the people from the Hundred Yue Kingdom in an instant.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Screams rang out one after another as the Hundred Yue Kingdom men were sent flying backward, the Third Prince included, all of them crashing to the ground.

Yin Qi did not deal a lethal blow; it wasn't out of fear for the Hundred Yue Kingdom, but simply because he did not want to be manipulated by Chu Yu.

If there was killing to be done, Chu Yu should be the one to do it.

"This..."

The female leader and the others were stunned. They had prepared themselves for a bloody battle, but just as they were about to move, the enemy had been wiped out by Yin Qi in a single move, including the Second Order experts among them.

The Third Prince was horrified, cursing himself for being a fool.

Chu Yu dared to curse him like that because she was certain Yin Qi could easily defeat them; otherwise, given her eccentric personality, how could she have done something so stupid?

But it was too late to say anything now.

Yin Qi said, "Princess Yu, how to handle this is up to you."

A strange look flashed in Chu Yu's eyes. She had originally intended to drag Yin Qi into the mess; if he had killed someone, she could have taken the opportunity to use the Hundred Yue Kingdom as a threat to recruit Yin Qi into the Chu Kingdom.

Yet Yin Qi refused to fall into the trap and even handed the power of execution over to her.

"Alright."

Chu Yu smiled happily. She walked up to the Third Prince with her hands behind her back and said condescendingly, "You wretch, I told you you were stupid, but you wouldn't admit it. Now you've fallen into my hands. Out here in the wilderness, if I were to kill you all, do you think the Hundred Yue Kingdom would ever know?"

The Third Prince's expression changed, and he hurriedly put on a fawning smile: "Princess Yu, everything before was just a joke; please don't take it to heart. As long as you let me go, anything can be discussed."

"Anything can be discussed?"

Chu Yu looked expectant.

She picked up a sword from the ground, gestured a few times between the Third Prince's legs, and said with great interest, "I happen to be missing a eunuch by my side; why don't you suffer for a few years?"

The Third Prince felt a chill and was so scared he nearly lost control of his bladder, hurriedly saying, "Princess Yu, spare my life! I know I was wrong."

Hearing this, Chen Nan and the others also felt a chill in their own crotches.

This little princess is truly fierce.

Chu Yu wore a victorious smile and said haughtily, "Where were you wrong?"

The Third Prince hurriedly repented: "I shouldn't have had designs on the Houyi Bow, and I shouldn't have had evil intentions toward you."

Chu Yu nodded: "Since you know you were wrong, how do you intend to show it? Although you didn't hurt me, you did hurt my young and fragile heart."

Chen Nan's face twitched, and he couldn't help but want to retort.

With your demonic nature, you have a young and fragile heart?

The Third Prince wanted to retort as well, but being at the mercy of others, he could only say: "I have 100,000 in gold notes on me; I will give them all to you." Chu Yu shook her head: "Not enough. Is your life only worth 100,000 gold coins?"

The Third Prince gritted his teeth and said: "I have 300,000 gold coins deposited in the Tianxuan Bank, bearer notes; as long as you show the token, you can withdraw them. The token is on me."

"That's more like it."

Chu Yu's eyes instantly sparkled.

400,000 gold coins—that was no small sum.

Although she wished she could kill the Third Prince, there are no walls without cracks in this world; to avoid triggering a war between the two countries, she had to hold back, though she certainly wouldn't let them go just like that.

In the east of the Tianyuan Continent, there are the Three Great Empires: the Chu Kingdom in the west, the Hundred Yue Kingdom in the north, and Anping in the southeast.

The three great nations do not border each other, separated by countless small countries, but the vast majority of these small countries are vassal states to the three superpowers, and peace has been maintained for over a decade.

Once the two empires go to war, it will surely bring disaster to the people.

Chu Yu looked at the others lying on the ground and said with a smile: "Your master has already paid to buy his life, what about you all? If the price you offer doesn't satisfy me, then you can only follow me into the palace."

Please... bookmark... 6... 9... books...!

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately shivered.

Chu Yu was very beautiful and looked good when she smiled, but paired with her words, it felt like a demon was in the human world.

"Princess, I will give you all the money on me!"

"Princess, I didn't bring much money, but I can give you the secret manual I cultivate."

"Princess, spare my life, I will give you everything."

Ten-plus minutes later.

The Third Prince and the guards looked at each other, all wanting to cry but having no tears.

Chu Yu was too ruthless; she had searched them from head to toe.

Except for their undergarments, nothing was left behind.

"Let's go."

Chu Yu, on the other hand, looked as if she had won a great battle, turning around and walking away with high spirits.

Behind her, the guards were all carrying big and small bags, just like they were moving house.

Chen Nan said: "Hey, little Princess, the people were all injured by Yin Qi, yet you want to swallow the spoils of war alone; isn't that a bit unprincipled?"

Chu Yu had a look of sudden realization: "Oh right, Yin Qi, these 100,000 gold notes are yours. After we reach the Chu Capital and take out the money from that bitch, I will split half with you again."

"Fine."

Yin Qi did not stand on ceremony either and took the gold notes.

Next, he would need to purchase materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining, so he definitely needed money.

Chen Nan stared with wide eyes: "What about mine?"

Chu Yu looked at him with contempt: "You really are a stinking scoundrel, thinking so beautifully; you didn't even make a move, yet you still want to share the spoils?"

"I am in the same group as Yin Qi."

"You didn't make a move..."

Chen Nan and Chu Yu bickered all the way, completely evenly matched, like opponents meeting their match.

Watching the figures of Yin Qi and the others, they had already disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest.

Only then did the Third Prince growl in a low voice: "Yin Qi, Chu Yu, this matter is not over between us."

Ever since he became sensible, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Five days later.

Yin Qi's party walked out of the big mountains and arrived at a bustling small town.

This was a small town belonging to the Chu Kingdom; because Chu Yu had run away from the palace, officials everywhere had received notice, so not long after Chu Yu entered the town, officials hurried over.

Under the arrangements of the officials, Yin Qi's party temporarily stayed in the town.

Night fell.

Chen Nan found Yin Qi and said: "Brother Yin, now that we are out of the mountains, can you help me take a look?" (End of this chapter)
