Chapter 385

"Creak..."

Mulan clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Heng Xian asked, "curiously."

Mulan shook her head coldly: "No! More!"

Heng Xian persisted: "Actually, besides being handsome, I can eat a lot. I can eat eight steamed buns and a plate of braised pork in one sitting. Even the Princess praises me for being so cute!"

"Creak..."

The knuckles of Mulan's hand gripping her sword also began to turn white.

Heng Xian continued: "I plan to marry the Princess as soon as possible. Once we are wed, I won't go out to work anymore..."

Mulan looked at him sharply: "If you don't work, what do you want to do?"

Heng Xian said "earnestly": "Just be a beautiful man in peace! Every day, I'll wait for the Princess to come home, then we'll be lovey-dovey and have a bunch of little babies!"

"Hoo..."

Mulan closed her eyes, her breathing becoming heavy.

In the living room ahead, the Prince of Wu had already lost his patience and scolded angrily: "This dog thing still hasn't crawled out? Is he waiting for this Prince to go in and catch him..."

"Seven boys will be enough, and for girls, let's have eight. After all, I prefer girls..." Heng Xian was still talking.

Mulan finally exploded, rushing out and pointing back at Heng Xian: "Your Highness Prince of Wu, this shameless man is here!"

She had sold Heng Xian out, clean and swift!

Heng Xian looked at her in "astonishment": "Aren't you here... to protect me?"

Mulan said coldly: "For the Princess's happiness, and to keep Her Highness the Princess far away from a shameless 'soft-rice' man like you, I had to do this!"

"Whoosh..."

Dozens of figures flashed and appeared before them.

The young Prince of Wu looked Heng Xian up and down, drew his blade with a "clang," and slashed down.

Heng Xian didn't even blink. This brother-in-law, the Prince of Wu, only had Qi Hai Realm cultivation and posed no real threat, so he let him slash at his neck.

However, the blade stopped just as it reached Heng Xian's neck.

The Prince of Wu asked in surprise: "You aren't dodging?"

Heng Xian was calm and composed: "I can't dodge, so just slash away!"

The Prince of Wu narrowed his eyes, a cold glint appearing in them: "Are you not afraid of death?"

Heng Xian said: "Of course I'm afraid of death, but I can't dodge!"

The Prince of Wu sneered: "You don't seem afraid either. What are you relying on?"

Heng Xian blinked and said: "Of course I'm relying on your sister's feelings for me. If you kill me, the relationship between you two siblings will be over. Your sister might even follow me in martyrdom. Are you panicked?"

"Audacious!"

"Bullshit!"

"Shameless!"

This sentence completely incensed the Prince of Wu, Ye Xingruo, and Mulan's group, each of them filled with righteous indignation.

Heng Xian reached out to push away the Prince of Wu's blade and straightened his collar: "That's how things are. What do you want to do about it?"

The Prince of Wu slammed his blade into the ground and said coldly: "I'll give you ten million Medium Quality Spirit Stones and grant you a fief of twenty cities in the Chu Kingdom, just leave my sister forever!"

Heng Xian looked at him "angrily": "Your sister and I have deep feelings, we are each other's true love in this life, and we have vowed to live and die together. How can you insult me like this? Fine... add more money! Twenty million Medium Quality Spirit Stones and fifty cities!"

"Shameless!"

"Scoundrel!"

The group continued to curse angrily.

Especially the Prince of Wu, who raised his large blade again: "You shameless person, do you think I really don't dare to kill you?"

Heng Xian stretched: "Kill my ghost, can you even lift your blade? You suffered a loss at the Qin Kingdom border, ran back with your tail between your legs, your heart-blood is depleted, your spiritual aura is chaotic, and instead of resting, you come to find trouble with me? You ignorant child!"

The Prince of Wu's eyes widened, and he stepped back a few paces, looking as if he had seen a ghost: "You... who are you?"

His own encounter was a military secret among secrets, yet this guy had blurted it out in one sentence???

Ye Xingruo, Mulan, and the others were completely confused.

Heng Xian said: "I am your brother-in-law!"

"This Prince is asking, how do you know these things, who are you?" The Prince of Wu roared.

Heng Xian said calmly: "I am simply your brother-in-law. It's just that I can see your forehead is gloomy, your eyes reveal a trace of worry and fear, and coupled with the fact that you were fighting at the border and ran back in just one day, this clearly isn't entirely because you were worried about your sister and me. It should be that the battle against the Great Qin went poorly, and you were already on your way back yesterday! Is that right?"

"You..."

The Prince of Wu retreated three steps, panting heavily, pointing at Heng Xian, and after saying "You" for a long time, he couldn't speak.

Just then, a eunuch hurried over from outside and knelt to kowtow: "Consort De Niangniang orders the Prince of Wu to enter the palace immediately!"

"Understood!"

The Prince of Wu let out a breath and pointed at Heng Xian: "You have some small cleverness. Wait, when I've rested, I'll settle the score with you!"

After speaking, he turned and left with his people.

"Walk slowly, brother-in-law. Next time you come, remember to bring some fruit. Coming empty-handed isn't very polite!" Heng Xian said.

The Prince of Wu almost tripped on the threshold and hurried away outside the gate in a fit of rage.

The courtyard was quiet. Ye Xingruo glanced at Heng Xian, frowned slightly, and turned to leave coldly.

Mulan looked at Heng Xian, her face full of conflict.

Heng Xian also looked at her: "I like it best when you hate me to death, yet can't kill me!"

Mulan turned and left, fearing that if she stayed any longer, she would be angered to death.

Heng Xian looked outside, bored. Having lost the mood to go out, he turned back.

Afternoon.

The sun rose high, and the weather was exceptionally warm.

Lunch was good, but Ji Yaoyue hadn't returned yet; he didn't know what she was researching with her mother.

Heng Xian went out and strolled leisurely.

The Princess's Mansion was large enough that, compared to his previous life, three Forbidden Cities combined would struggle to compare to it; it was full of sights to see.

As he walked, he suddenly heard a sound of "Hoo-ha."

He subconsciously approached and saw a bare training ground where a group of sturdy men and women were drilling.

They were practicing killing techniques; whether it was the eighteen types of weapons or various martial arts, everything was for the purpose of killing.

And these people were indeed filled with killing intent; they must have killed people before.

He couldn't help but stop and watch for a while, but as he watched, he felt very bored. A group of late-stage Condensing Qi and early-stage Qi Hai cultivators—their killing methods were decent, but too lacking. They were still at the "martial" stage. If they encountered a cultivator like himself who had entered the "art" stage, no matter how many came, they would just be throwing their lives away!

Just as he turned around, he saw Mulan walking over silently from a distance, smiling coldly: "What? Young Master Heng is too delicate to handle the masculine energy and killing intent in here?"

Heng Xian said: "Oh, I was just curious, why are there women?"

Mulan said: "There are men and women in the Black Cavalry. Sometimes women kill more directly than men!"

After speaking, she said loudly: "Brothers and sisters!"

The dozens of men and women in the training ground looked over one after another.

Mulan glanced at Heng Xian and said: "Show him your strength, the strength to subdue dragons and tigers!"

"Yes!"

The group of men and women also glanced at Heng Xian, clearly recognizing his identity, and walked toward an "Iron Mountain" to the side.

That "Iron Mountain" was composed of thirty iron lumps; the small ones were the size of washbasins, and the large ones truly looked like a mountain.

The group of men and women lifted iron blocks the size of half a house, lifting them with ease and looking very proud of themselves.

Mulan also walked over and lifted a stone block the size of a room, like an ant lifting a stone, moving it up and down.

The scene before him was very spectacular, leaving Heng Xian looking stunned.

Mulan thought the effect had been achieved and a trace of a smile appeared on her cold face: "In the struggles of the world, nothing beats strength. Their iron blocks weigh at least thirty thousand catties, and this one of mine weighs ninety thousand catties. What do you think? Are you scared?"

Just as she finished speaking, Heng Xian walked to the largest "Iron Mountain" and asked: "How much does this one weigh?"

Mulan's expression changed: "That is the Great Zhou Giant Tripod, weighing eight hundred and thirty thousand catties. No one has been able to lift it for over a hundred years..."

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Heng Xian pinch it with two fingers and lift it up as if it were a toy. Amidst a "rumbling" sound, he switched it from his left hand to his right, and right to left, looking at the crowd with ease: "Just this? Boring to death!"
