Chapter 232 - Love Comes
Chapter 232: Love Comes
In the palace, Su Wen and Xiang Feiyan were playing happily.
Outside, Wu Lie was wandering the streets. This fellow could not stay in the inn any longer, so he ran out.
To put it bluntly, it was like a tour. When one arrived at a new place, they could not just hole up in a hotel, right? They had to go out and play.
The Chu Country and Zhou Country were very far apart, thus there were many things that Wu Lie had never seen before.
He was quite curious about everything in this area.
This was especially towards the delicacies on the streets that he had never seen before. To people like Wu Lie, they were extremely attractive.
As he ate, he learned more about this country he was going to be living in.
“Si… this meat is so tender, so delicious… Boss… what is this?”
Wu Lie held a wooden stick with strips of meat on it. The meat was fresh and tender. He ate it happily and could not help but ask the boss.
The boss was a plump middle-aged man. He introduced with a smile, “This is the tail of a giant tail rat! It’s the best!”
Wu Lie… Although he had never seen a Giant Tailed Rat before… The moment he heard the name, he felt as though the meat in his hand immediately lost its fragrance.
He was stunned for a moment. He wanted to throw it away, but it was a pity. It was indeed delicious. He continued eating, feeling a little awkward.
At that moment, Wu Lie suddenly saw… a woman riding a sturdy horse. This woman had a beautiful appearance and her chest was plump. However, her dressing was not delicate at all. Instead, she was wearing clothes that resembled a man’s clothes. She looked extremely heroic.
This type was precisely our Young Master Wu’s type!
In an instant, Wu Lie felt as if his heart had been struck by the Cupid’s Arrow.
This was only amplified when the woman on the horse surveyed the surroundings with her cold eyes and met Wu Lie’s gaze. In an instant, Wu Lie’s heart raced!
Love! The taste of love!
Wu Lie was extremely certain that he liked this woman.
He did not expect that on the first day he arrived in Great Chu, this fate would fall from the sky.
That heroic spirit and cold temperament were all things he liked.
The woman rode his horse past Wu Lie.
Only then did Wu Lie react and chase after her.
If he really met someone he liked, he would not hesitate to hit her up!
“Miss! Miss!” Wu Lie shouted as he ran beside the horse!
“Huh?” The Third Prince was furious when he heard that!
Who the f*ck was a Miss? Without a word, he drew his sword and slashed at Wu Lie!
However, Wu Lie’s current cultivation level was already at 7th Grade Earth Rank. His cultivation level was even higher than the Third Prince’s!
The Third Prince slashed out with his sword, but Wu Lie remained calm. With a casual wave of his hand, the Third Prince’s sword was caught between Wu Lie’s fingers!
Wu Lie smiled and said, “Miss! Don’t be afraid. I don’t have any ill intentions… I just want to get to know you!”
The Third Prince was furious. He did not bring any guards with him today.
After all, the competition for the throne had ended, and the situation in the capital was not so tense.
He did not need to be on guard. In reality, he did not expect to encounter such a thing halfway through his walk.
The Third Prince snapped, “Let go.”
That’s right, Wu Lie was still holding onto his sword.
“My name is Wu Lie! Miss, please tell me your name!”
The Third Prince was furious, “I’ll tell your grandpa!”
Even his voice was also female, sweet and high pitched.
However, Wu Lie was just too strange! When he heard the Third Prince scold him, he laughed instead of being angry!
He thought to himself, “This is so much more exciting compared to those delicate ladies!”
He liked ‘her’ feisty behavior a lot, but did not want to scare the Third Prince, so he loosened his grip on the sword.
However, at that moment, the Third Prince was trying his best to retract his sword. The moment Wu Lie’s grip on his sword loosened, causing him to lose his balance and fall backward.
How could Wu Lie watch him fall? With a flash, he arrived below the Third Prince before he landed.
Wu Lie opened his arms and the Third Prince fell into his embrace.
For a moment, a warm and soft body filled his bosom…
Their eyes met and Wu Lie said gently, “Miss, don’t be afraid. I only have admiration for you and have no intention of taking advantage of you. I just want to get to know you!”
“Know your mother! I’m a man!” The Third Prince gritted his teeth.
“Hahaha!” Wu Lie laughed maniacally. “What are you talking about, Miss? Although I’m blunt, I’m not blind or stupid. If you’re a man, I’ll dig out my eyeballs and step on them like bubbles!”
The Third Prince was going crazy!
Even he didn’t dare to take off his pants on the streets!
‘You better f*cking dig it out as soon as possible!’ The Third Prince thought hatefully to himself.
Although he looked like a woman on the outside, he was a true man on the inside.
As he was hugged by Wu Lie, he immediately felt a chill down his spine. He felt indescribably uncomfortable all over!
He struggled to get up and pushed Wu Lie away. He said coldly, “I don’t care who you are, but I have no intention of dating you! Get lost!”
Wu Lie did not think twice despite being scolded. He only smiled and said, “Miss, don’t be angry. I really don’t have any ill intentions. I only hope that Miss will give me a chance. We can start from being friends.”
The Third Prince no longer wanted to explain to him. He immediately mounted his horse and left!
However, they were on the streets after all, so he could not ride his horse wildly.
Wu Lie followed beside the horse and nagged, “Miss, don’t look at me like this, but I will be an official in the royal court in a few days.”
Wu Lie was still smart in this regard. He knew that he had to showcase his excellent qualities.
The Third Prince mocked in his heart: Entering the royal court as an official? If you enter the royal court, see if I will slaughter you.”
However, he did not say a word on the surface. With a straight face, he treated Wu Lie as though he was farting and only rode forward.
Wu Lie continued, “Look, my cultivation level is not bad either. In the future, I can establish military merits. I have people in the court that will back me up, so it’s not difficult for me to become a general. Do you know the Nanli King? That’s my brother-in-law that will back me up… If you follow me, I guarantee that you won’t suffer any losses. Furthermore, my family doesn’t have a wife or concubine. I’m willing to let my brother-in-law propose a marriage and officially marry you, making you my official wife.”
“Mm?” Hearing this, the Third Prince’s heart skipped a beat.
Su Daqiang’s people?
What did he say? Su Daqiang was his brother-in-law?
Su Daqiang was keeping a mistress outside behind his sister’s back?
And even wanted to use connections to arrange people into the royal court?
What guts…
This might be an opportunity!
It was a chance to keep Big Sister away from Su Daqiang!
The Third Prince’s heart raced. If he could topple Su Daqiang… with Xiang Feiyan’s intelligence, it would not be difficult for him to separate the two through telling her what Su Daqiang was up to! Although he could not become an emperor, he could still be a local tyrant!
He might even find a chance to rebel…
There was no other way! The Third Prince could not indulge himself for the rest of his life even if he could eat, drink, and play as much as he wanted.
Other than eating and drinking, there was nothing else he could do.
He couldn’t just eat like a pig, right?
Seeing that Wu Lie was still following, the Third Prince rushed straight for the palace!
Wu Lie followed along and spoke to himself. However, when they were about to reach the palace, Wu Lie stopped.
The Third Prince smiled and said, “Brother Wu, didn’t you say that you wanted to become an official in the royal court? How about you come in with me?”
He planned to bring Wu Lie to Xiang Feiyan as a witness!
Wu Lie did not answer. Instead, he looked at her and smiled. “Are you a princess of the royal family?”
In order to deceive Wu Lie, the Third Prince did not deny it. He directly nodded and said, “That’s right. If you’re not a liar, you wouldn’t be afraid to enter the palace, right?”
Unexpectedly, Wu Lie took two steps back!
He was not stupid!
Now that the empress had an affair with Su Wen, he did not know if Su Wen had told her or not. What if the empress was unhappy after entering the palace and cut him off?
In any case, he just needed to know the identity of this woman in front of him.
Otherwise, once they separated, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Now that he knew that the ‘girl’ he liked was the princess, with Su Wen around, how could she escape?
“So it’s Your Highness. Forgive me for being rude just now, but it’s indeed inconvenient now. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll come and visit again!” With that said, Wu Lie turned around and ran away.
His decisiveness and speed left the Third Prince dumbfounded.
This… the witness has run away… then did he still need to go in?
The Third Prince hesitated.
Could this kid be lying to him?
Could it be that he did not know Su Daqiang at all?
In the palace, on the dragon couch.
Xiang Feiyan laid in Su Wen’s embrace.
Su Wen was thinking about how he should tell Xiang Feiyan. Actually, he knew that if he wanted a child normally, Xiang Feiyan would not reject him.
However, he was rather special. This method of nurturing was hard to say.
Just as he was pondering, Xiang Feiyan whispered into his ear, “Brother Wen, let’s have a child!”
“Huh?” This was akin to delivering coal during winter!
“Why do you have such an idea?” Su Wen asked.
Xiang Feiyan muttered, “I want a child as outstanding as you!”
“This… you’re not implying that I should call you Mommy, are you?”
“You won’t lose out even if you do… Didn’t I also call you Daddy…”
Xiang Feiyan’s expression then turned serious, “But I feel that I need an outstanding child. This is better for Great Chu. If Xiang Sheng knows how to improve, the throne will naturally be his. But if he is really useless, I have to have a backup plan. Brother Wen, don’t blame me for being blunt. After all, Xiang Sheng is also my biological son! However, I will give him a royal title at the very least.”
Su Wen could understand her thoughts.
Or rather, no one could change this.
It was impossible for Xiang Feiyan to immediately cripple Xiang Sheng just because she and Su Wen had a child.
Su Wen shook his head. “Unfortunately, I can’t give birth!”
“Huh?” Xiang Feiyan looked at Su Wen and widened her eyes in shock. She asked in confusion, “How is that possible? Don’t you have a daughter in the Flame God Sect?”
Su Wen smiled bitterly and explained Su Su’s background.
Finally, he said, “That’s why my current life level is different from ordinary people. If you want a child… we have to think of a way to get a vicious beast egg! The safest is the egg of a Heaven Rank vicious beast. At the worst, it has to be an egg of a 9th Grade Earth Rank vicious beast. Then, we can get Ni Hongxiao to help us before our child can be born!”
Xiang Feiyan’s eyes flashed with excitement as she said, “In other words! As long as the child is born, his talent will definitely not be bad! Then I must definitely get a Heaven Rank vicious beast egg! How can a 9th Grade Earth Rank vicious beast be worthy of my child?”
She was still quite happy about this.
Thinking about it, she did not have to bear the child herself, nor did he have to feel the pain of childbirth. It completely solved all the worries of having a child.
“In a while, we’ll go and find Fourth Great-Grandfather and ask him to help us get a vicious beast egg.”
The two of them quickly dressed and headed straight for the depths of the palace.
They met with Xiang Ding again.
Another complicated explanation would soon follow.
Then, Xiang Ding smiled and asked, “Did you gain anything from this trip?”
“I’ve reached the Heaven Rank!”
Su Wen didn’t hide anything. Although he had the Qi Concealment Belt Belt, and most people didn’t know that he had entered the Heaven Rank, once he attacked, the Heaven Earth Origin Qi would move to his will. In the eyes of Heaven Rank experts, it was impossible to hide anything.
By the side, Xiang Feiyan’s eyes widened!
She hugged Su Wen excitedly. “Brother Wen, you’re a Heaven Rank cultivator now?”
Su Wen nodded.
Xiang Feiyan looked forward to their child even more.
“Then why have you two come to me?”
Xiang Feiyan said in a deep voice, “Ancestor, it’s like this. I want to have a child with Su Wen and continue my Xiang family’s bloodline. After all, the more outstanding a bloodline is, the easier it is to produce outstanding talents. Only when my Xiang family is strong will it be the most fundamental… However, Su Wen has some health problems… because…”
She started to explain.
The more Xiang Ding listened, the more excited he became!
“It’s a good thing! A good thing! With such a descendant in our Xiang family, why should we worry about not prospering?”
Xiang Ding paced back and forth as he thought.
He finally concluded, “I must find a powerful Heaven Rank vicious beast!”
He looked at the two of them and said in a low voice, “Leave this matter to me. But be careful, this matter cannot be leaked! Even the other Heaven Rank experts in the palace cannot know!”
With that said, he flew straight into the sky!
Su Wen also bade farewell to Xiang Feiyan. After all, there were still many things he had to arrange at home.
This time, he did not need to disguise himself.
As he walked out of the palace, he almost made a fool of himself. When the guard at the palace gate saw him, he could not recognize him at all. After checking, he realized that it was actually the Nanli King.
The guard then went to ask Xiang Feiyan.
Only then did he find out that Su Wen had disguised himself.
Outside the palace, the Third Prince was wondering if he should enter the palace.
Suddenly, a handsome man walked out of the palace.
He was instantly stunned. One had to know that not just anyone could enter the palace. This fellow was clearly not a minister of the royal court.
He saw Su Wen.
However, he did not know Su Wen who had removed his disguise.
Su Wen smiled at him and got into the carriage without greeting him. The carriage slowly left.
“Could it be… that Big Sister has changed her taste?” The Third Prince pondered.
If Xiang Feiyan no longer doted on Su Daqiang… then there was a way!
He immediately asked to enter the palace.
When the siblings met, Xiang Feiyan regained her prestige.
She asked coldly, “Why are you here to see me?”
The Third Prince hurriedly said, “Yes, Your Majesty. I met someone on the street today. That person actually claimed to be Su Daqiang’s brother-in-law and said that Su Daqiang married his sister. I was afraid that Su Daqiang would deceive Sister Huang, so I came to report!”
“That’s it? I understand.” Xiang Feiyan waved her hand. Su Wen had already told her everything and she already knew.
Although she was a little unhappy that Su Wen had a group of wives and even felt a little jealous…
But she also knew that this was something that could not be changed.
Especially since Su Wen was already a Heaven Rank expert, his status was naturally different.
Of course, Xiang Feiyan did not think that the Third Prince’s report was wrong.
Unfortunately, when the Third Prince saw how calm Xiang Feiyan was, his thoughts went in another direction…
He pondered to himself, ‘Could it be that Sister doesn’t care about Su Daqiang anymore? Looks like she really forgot her old love after having a new lover!’
Finally, he couldn’t help but open his mouth and say, “Big Sister, please uphold justice for me. That Su Daqiang drugged your younger brother and caused him to become like this. It’s truly a heinous crime. Now, he’s deceiving Big Sister and fooling around with women outside. He even promised to bring his brother-in-law into the royal court.
Big Sister, you can’t let this person do as he pleases! Big Sister, please send this person to prison! I urge him to restore me to my previous state!”
Although Su Wen had always told him that his transformation was not done by himself and that he could not recover, how could he believe him?
He seized the opportunity and wanted Xiang Feiyan to punish Su Wen so that he could recover.
As soon as he said this, Xiang Feiyan’s eyebrows shot up as she berated, “What nonsense are you talking about? You becoming like this is purely your own fault. You don’t know how to restrain yourself and don’t know who you’ve offended. How can you frame the Nanli King recklessly? Also, the Nanli King is considered royalty in the court. What’s wrong with having a few wives and concubines? How can it be considered a lie?”
“Hmph! On account that you’re my younger brother, I’ll punish you with a year’s salary this time! If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll get someone to castrate you!”
The Third Prince shuddered immediately!
At the very least, everything was still there. Although it was a little small and the second function was no longer useful, at the very least, it still existed.
But if he really was cut, it would be too scary.
He left the hall and wiped his sweat from his brows.
This did not make sense… His sister clearly had another new lover. Why was she still so protective of Su Daqiang?
The Third Prince was puzzled.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the man… seemed to have boarded Su Daqiang’s carriage?
That’s right! That coachman was Su Daqiang’s man!
Could it be… that this man was given to his sister by Su Daqiang?
This… she really knew how to play… then why was the person who had given Xiang Feiyan a man previously sent straight to be executed…
While he was letting his imagination run wild, Su Wen’s carriage was already arriving back at his residence.
At this moment, Wu Yuehan appeared in front of the carriage. After she was chased away, she did not go far.
She was waiting for Su Wen!
She was not convinced!
How awesome must someone be, to dare chase this lady out?
When Zhao Jin saw Wu Yuehan, he naturally stopped the carriage.
Wu Yuehan walked past him and got into the carriage!
When she saw the smiling Su Wen, she was shocked. “Who are you?”
“Me? Guess who I am?”
Hearing his voice, Wu Yuehan had an inkling and immediately guessed, “Daqiang?”
Su Wen nodded and said with a smile, “My real name is Su Wen. This is my real face. The Su Daqiang you saw previously was my disguise!”
Wu Yuehan quickly accepted this reality.
She said aggrievedly, “Now that you’re powerful, you don’t like me anymore, do you? I was chased out by Yan Luoying and Wu Muyu at your house. Are you going to do something about it?”
“Hehe…” Su Wen laughed awkwardly.
He really couldn’t care less about this. He could pick wild flowers, but how could they compare to his family?
Furthermore, he had already guessed Wu Yuehan’s thoughts. It was good to say that her motive was not pure, or he should say that she was too ambitious.
The relationship between the two of them was definitely not deep.
He smiled shamelessly. “Inside this house… I can’t be too tough…”
“You… you have no conscience!” Wu Yuehan was bitter. When had she ever suffered such grievances?
“It’s fine if you don’t care, but I’m here this time to get pregnant with your child. If I can’t get pregnant, I won’t leave!” Wu Yuehan spoke honestly.
Su Wen was helpless. He did not want to tell her the truth!
As he spoke, Wu Yuehua had already pounced…
Listening to the sounds inside the carriage, Zhao Jin saw that they were about to reach the residence. With a casual whip, the carriage steadily turned right at the intersection…
He didn’t know how long it would take for them to return…
