"How … How could this be?"
The Flaming Sun Princess's mind went blank as she mumbled to herself.
"Boom!"
Along with Zi Xuan, the both of them fell from the sky and landed on the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise up.
However, the both of them didn't react at all. Their eyes were filled with fear as if they had lost their souls. They sat on the ground in a daze as they looked at Xu Que walking towards them.
He was originally a chivalrous young hero in their eyes, a man who made them have a good impression of him for the first time in their lives …
At this moment, it was as if he had turned into a demon as he walked towards them with a thick killing intent.
The both of them were on the verge of collapsing.
They didn't know what had just happened but they were extremely shocked by the scene before them.
The dozen of Sky Demon Assassins were all elites amongst the Original Infant Stage cultivators. In the blink of an eye, they were all turned into ice sculptures by this man and died on the spot.
A Golden Core Full Foundation Stage cultivator killed all the Original Infant Stage assassins single-handedly, as though he was killing ants!
The Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan couldn't stop thinking about what Xu Que had said.
"Do you think … that these ten or so pieces of trash can kill me?"
Can they kill me?
The Flaming Sun Princess laughed bitterly as she shook her head. At this moment, she finally understood how terrifying this Xu Que was!
This was a suffocating feeling that she had never felt before. Even her father, the Emperor, had never felt such a terrifying feeling before!
The Xu Que in front of her was no longer the same person who was locked up in the underground chamber of the Imperial Palace. He was a human cauldron who only knew how to cultivate in seclusion!
That Xu Que had died and the person in front of her had been reborn. Now that he had returned, he was so strong!
...
At this point, Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess suddenly recalled something.
Ever since they returned from Water Nation, the moment they entered the borderlands, they heard rumors about Xu Que!
A Core Bearing Stage cultivator who destroyed the entire Fallen Spirits Sect!
A Core Bearing Stage cultivator who destroyed half of Celestial Sect!
Initially, the both of them didn't pay much attention to these rumors and thought that they were just rumors.
But now, they suddenly realized that Xu Que was actually the Xu Que in front of them. Because in the entire world, only he could achieve such a feat!
"Why? Why is it you? "
The Flaming Sun Princess was completely stunned. She would never have imagined that the beggar who relied on the mercy of the Royal Family to survive would actually grow to become such a heaven defying expert.
He could easily kill so many Nascent Soul assassins at the Golden Core Stage. How terrifying would he be when he reached the Nascent Soul Stage or even the Infant Transformation Stage?
"Why can't it be me? Since the heavens don't want me to die, it means that this is the will of the heavens! My princess wife, the will of the heavens cannot be disobeyed. Therefore, very soon, your Fire Empire will be destroyed! "
Looking at the shocked Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan, Xu Que laughed out loud, feeling extremely carefree.
Although the Xu Que who had been humiliated was not himself, it was this body. When Xu Que had crossed over to this world, he had completely fused with this body and some of the incomplete souls. Therefore, he could completely empathize with the unwillingness and hatred of this body before its death.
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 50 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 80 act tough points!"
The system notifications kept ringing in his ears. However, Xu Que's attention wasn't on them.
He looked at the shocked Flaming Sun Princess and walked up to her. Using his hand, he lifted her chin and teased, "How is it? My respected Princess, do you think anyone can save you now? "
"No! Xu Que, you can't kill the Princess. Actually, the Princess didn't … "
Zi Xuan, who was standing at the side, was shocked. She hurriedly tried to explain.
However, the Flaming Sun Princess interrupted her coldly as she looked at Xu Que, "That's right! Xu Que, our Imperial Family let you down in the past. However, if we hadn't brought you back to the Imperial Palace, you would've been a starving corpse on the streets!
Today, as long as you let me off, when I reach the capital city safely, I will make my father, the Emperor, reward you handsomely. No matter if it's a high position or a heaven-defying cultivation technique, whatever you want, I will make my father give it to you. Even … You can still be the Prince Consort of the Fire Country … "
"Bring me back to the Imperial Palace? Hehe, you saved me because you coveted the Heavenly Fire spiritual roots in my body! I … I've always been a tool. Besides, do you think the current me would still care about the dog sh * t riches and glory in the Imperial City? "
Xu Que laughed out. He didn't expect the Flaming Sun Princess to be so righteous even when she was at death's door. She was still trying to show off her superiority as a member of the Imperial Family.
Seeing that the Flaming Sun Princess had nothing to say, Xu Que laughed out coldly, "However, I don't intend to kill you for now. You should know that there are many punishments in this world that are worse than death … "
"Xu Que, what are you trying to do? She's the respected Princess of the Fire Empire! Let us go! "Zi Xuan shouted out from the side.
"Sit down!"
The moment he released the mystical fire from his body, the two ladies fell to the ground and didn't dare to move an inch.
It wasn't easy for him to meet the Flaming Sun Princess because of his luck. Xu Que wouldn't kill her so easily. To him, the most important thing was to use the Flaming Sun Princess to get the map of the Imperial Tombs of the Fire Empire.
"Tsk tsk … What a waste of these delicacies!"
Xu Que walked back to his resting place and shook his head gently.
On the ground were a few roasted wings that were originally full of fragrance and color. However, they were now mixed with mud and had lost their original taste. This made him feel that it was a waste.
Thinking back, he had only wanted to show off, earn some experience, and then leave.
He didn't expect that the person he saved was actually the Flaming Sun Princess whom he had always wanted to take revenge on.
Other than feeling frustrated, Xu Que didn't have any other thoughts.
He sat on the ground and thought about how he could make use of the Flaming Sun Princess as a hostage to deal with the Dog Emperor. At the same time, he had to find a way to enter the Imperial Tombs.
After all, saving Xiao Rou was the most important thing.
...
...
At the same time, Zi Xuan and the Flaming Sun Princess sat quietly on the ground, not daring to act rashly.
Xu Que sat not too far away and they knew that they couldn't go anywhere.
The Flaming Sun Princess sat on the ground and lowered her head. Looking at the ground, she seemed to be in a daze.
After several breaths, she rolled her eyes, as if she had made an important decision. She then whispered, "Zi Xuan, give me the bottle of wine that we brought back from the Water Nation."
Zi Xuan's expression changed as she shook her head, "No, Princess. The Yin Yang Core Wine is a forbidden wine in the Water Nation. If a man drinks it, he will lose all his powers. If a woman drinks it … it … it …"
She couldn't say it out loud.
The Flaming Sun Princess then replied, "If a woman drinks it, it will be like an aphrodisiac!"
"That's right Princess. I know what you're trying to do. But if he finds out and angers you, he will definitely kill you!" Zi Xuan was extremely anxious as she stole glances at Xu Que from time to time. She was afraid that she would be discovered.
The Flaming Sun Princess smiled, "Zi Xuan, have you ever heard of the saying that a single night as husband and wife means a hundred days of love? After all, Xu Que and the fake Princess had sex before. Up till now, he still doesn't know that the Princess was Concubine Fantasy in disguise.
The reason why he hasn't killed me now is because he still remembers our past relationship. If I were to take the initiative to please him and talk to him, he would definitely drink it! Besides, don't worry. The poison of this Yin Yang Core Wine is extremely unique. Even an Infant Transformation Stage cultivator wouldn't be able to detect the poison in a short period of time. "
"But …"
"There are no buts. This is my last hope! He's only at the Golden Core Full Foundation Stage and already has such powers. If he were to step into a higher cultivation stage … The Fire Empire will perish! "
As the Flaming Sun Princess spoke up to this point, her eyes were filled with determination as she looked at Zi Xuan and stretched out her hand.
Zi Xuan was in a difficult position and didn't make a move.
The Flaming Sun Princess had lost her patience as she removed the storage ring from Zi Xuan's finger. At the same time, she used her spirit sense to erase the imprint that Zi Xuan had left on the ring. She then took out two bottles of wine and stood up.
"No, Princess …" Zi Xuan grabbed onto the Flaming Sun Princess's clothes.
"Since Father could kill him once, I can kill him once too!"
The Flaming Sun Princess smiled as she pried Zi Xuan's hand away and walked towards Xu Que.
