After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

Chapter 72 Why Is She Here?

Maple Leaf Dynasty, Imperial Capital, Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Birds singing, swallows dancing.

Xiao Qin reclined on the jade bed, leisurely enjoying the performance.

Seated at the head of the table was a middle-aged man, the Eighth Prince's uncle and the current Grand General, Huo Xi.

Huo Xi glanced upwards.

Suddenly, he said, "Your Highness has reached the peak of the Gold Core stage, right?"

Although his nephew appeared carefree on the surface, his cultivation talent was not bad. Among the princes, he could at least rank in the top three.

"Mm."

Xiao Qin casually replied.

His peach blossom eyes never left the bodies of the dancers.

These dancers were personally selected by him. Some had stunning appearances, some had enchanting long legs, and some... were just well-endowed. Don't ask where.

"Have you touched the Nascent Soul opportunity?" Huo Xi asked.

"Of course! Not only have I touched it, I even pierced through it," Xiao Qin instinctively replied.

But then, he realized that he seemed to have answered the wrong question and quickly changed his answer, "Not yet."

Huo Xi nodded, as he had expected.

"Go to Heavenly Void City and give it a try!"

"Hm?" Xiao Qin glanced at his uncle, "Is this what Mother means?"

Huo Xi did not deny it.

"The breakthrough opportunity should come naturally, so why the rush?" Xiao Qin was a bit puzzled.

"Your Highness is astute." Huo Xi casually patted him and then said, "Going to Heavenly Void City indeed has a second purpose."

"Oh?"

"Your Highness is not young anymore and should find a princess."

Xiao Qin frowned.

Why should he find someone to restrict himself when he could be carefree?

Ignoring his expression, Huo Xi continued, "I heard that the youngest daughter of the Heavenly Void King, Leng Qingying, is both beautiful and intelligent. If Your Highness can capture her heart, your mother will definitely be happy."

Xiao Qin shot up from his seat, "What do you mean? You want me to marry a cripple?"

"Be careful with your words, Your Highness." Huo Xi's face turned cold.

"If the Heavenly Void King hears this, I can guarantee that not even your father can protect you."

Xiao Qin trembled.

He knew that he had spoken out of excitement.

His uncle was definitely not exaggerating.

Although Heavenly Void City was located within the Maple Leaf Dynasty, also known as the "Maple State," they were an independent existence.

This was because the "Heavenly Void King," Leng Kui, was a peak Transcending Tribulation expert.

As one of the Ten Great Saint Sects in the Eastern Domain, the Maple Leaf Dynasty's highest combat power was nothing compared to that.

Therefore, they couldn't subdue the Heavenly Void King and could only coexist on equal terms.

Huo Xi advised, "The Heavenly Void King has four daughters. The first three are already married, and only the youngest and most beloved daughter, Leng Qingying, remains by his side. Although she was born with a leg condition and cannot walk like a normal person, her cultivation is not bad. She reached the Gold Core stage several years ago."

"Do you know how many people want to marry her?"

"Marrying her is equivalent to relying on the Heavenly Void King."

"In addition, her three sisters have all married sons of the Saint Sect. These are all connections."

"Speaking bluntly, Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not your turn to be picky. Others may not necessarily be interested in you."

Huo Xi's words made Xiao Qin's face turn ugly.

"If she doesn't want it and I don't want it, why force it together?"

Huo Xi shook his head and sighed.

"Your Highness's good brothers have already taken away all the forces that can be won over. In the future, if we want to have a foothold, we can only rely on Heavenly Void King. Do you understand?"

Xiao Qin remained silent.

"Prepare in the next two days and then set off!" Huo Xi decided for him.

A few days later.

A luxurious carriage pulled by eight heavenly horses flew out of the imperial capital and shot into the distant sky.

...

Xuanzhou, Huayu City.

Lu Bai and Ji Fuyao landed on their flying swords.

They found the Commercial Alliance that operated large passenger ships and learned that the ship would not depart until two days later.

The two could only wait.

During this time, Lu Bai traveled throughout the city, collecting all the resources that were worthless but abundant in energy.

Although they were not needed now, they could be used after reaching the Foundation Building stage.

Two days passed.

The Huayu City branch of the Wanto Commercial Alliance.

There were many large passenger ships parked around the square, bustling with people.

The Wanto Commercial Alliance was the largest business association in the Eastern Domain, a Saint Level power.

As long as there were Transcending Tribulation Stage experts, they could be considered a Saint Level power.

The ten Great Saint sects, each governing a state, were the strongest among all the Saint Level powers, with more than one Transcending Tribulation Stage expert.

Lu Bai and Ji Fuyao walked around and finally found a passenger ship heading to the Maple Leaf Dynasty.

Board first, then buy tickets.

It cost 380 spirit stones per person, which was not expensive.

After boarding, they found seats near the side of the ship.

The passenger ship had luxurious cabins, but there were not many and they were not open to the public, reserved for certain prestigious figures.

Lu Bai and Ji Fuyao were not qualified yet, only at the level of elders of the ten Great Saint sects.

After they settled down, they leisurely looked at the scenery outside.

People kept boarding at the entrance of the ship.

Soon, the entire deck was almost full.

"Depart."

The person in charge of the ship shouted.

The disciples on duty retracted the gangway and prepared to depart.
