Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Meeting Qian Renxue Again
Heaven Dou Imperial City, Royal Hunting Ground
"Wow, it's so big! So grand!" Oscar exclaimed as he gazed up at the building before him.
The structure was surrounded by a moat, with city walls reaching about a hundred meters high, all built from white stone. Soldiers stood in neat rows guarding the walls and the gate.
"Only a hundred meters?" Mu Chen said dismissively.
"Only a hundred meters?" Oscar was taken aback and flashed to Mu Chen's side, asking, "Mu Boss, is our Tang Sect that grand?"
"Xiao San, you tell him," Mu Chen instructed.
Oscar flashed to Tang San's side.
"Let's put it this way: our Tang Sect is built against a cliff, which is three hundred meters high. There's also a hundred-meter-high wall built alongside the cliff. Moreover, our Tang Sect covers an area of ninety-nine square kilometers," Tang San explained.
"What, ninety-nine square kilometers?"
Not only Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, but even Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, and Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire were astonished as they looked at Mu Chen.
The Tang Sect's territory was unmatched by any sect or power.
"It's true. To establish the Tang Sect, Mu Boss contributed nearly all his savings," Tang San said, glancing at Mu Chen.
"Hearing that, I really want to visit our Tang Sect," Oscar said, intrigued.
"There will be a chance," Mu Chen smiled.
"Mu Chen, you could apply for assistance from the Empire," Princess Xue Ke suggested.
"No need. The Tang Sect is my life's work. It won't depend on any power," Mu Chen replied calmly.
Princess Xue Ke remained silent, her eyes flickering as if lost in thought.
After showing their credentials, Mu Chen and the others entered the imperial hunting ground.
Led by a centurion, the Shrek group arrived at their temporary campsite. From the centurion, they learned that apart from being situated in various corners, the participating academies would proceed directly to the advancement matches the next day without an opening ceremony.
"Brother!"
Just as Mu Chen was about to take Xiao Wu and the others for a stroll, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly called from behind him.
Mu Chen turned to see Ning Fengzhi and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe approaching.
"Uncle Ning, Big Brother. What brings you here?" Mu Chen asked.
"Big Brother!"
Princess Xue Ke greeted Xue Qinghe politely.
"Father, why are you here?"
Ning Rongrong rushed into Ning Fengzhi's arms upon seeing him.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Flender, Liu Erlong, and others greeted Xue Qinghe with respect.
"No need for formalities. I'm the logistics supervisor for this tournament, and my teacher is the deputy supervisor. I'm just here to check on my brother," Xue Qinghe said casually, showing no airs of a crown prince. He looked at Mu Chen, asking, "Brother, how do you find this place?"
"It's fine," Mu Chen replied, stepping forward and affectionately putting an arm around Xue Qinghe's shoulders.
Having been through this before, Xue Qinghe didn't resist Mu Chen's gesture.
"If you need anything, just let the centurion know. I've instructed him to fulfill your requests," Xue Qinghe said.
"Alright." Mu Chen curiously glanced downward.
Xue Qinghe's chest was flat, and Mu Chen was curious if it was indeed a disguise or if she was hiding it well. He wondered how Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) managed to maintain her disguise for so long without anyone noticing anything amiss.
"What's wrong, Brother?" Xue Qinghe asked, noticing Mu Chen's gaze. "Is there something wrong with my attire?"
"No," Mu Chen shook his head.
"Brother, if you need anything, ask the centurion. I need to visit other high-level academy camps," Xue Qinghe said.
"Leaving so soon?" Mu Chen said reluctantly, realizing he hadn't done much to Xue Qinghe yet.
Initially, Mu Chen teased Xue Qinghe for fun, but after spending time together, he found it had become a habit.
Indeed!
Seeing Xue Qinghe nod, Mu Chen removed his arm and playfully slapped Xue Qinghe's backside. "Go on, I know you're busy."
Uh!
Uh!
Uh!
Mu Chen's actions stunned Ning Fengzhi, Liu Erlong, Zhao Wuji, and others. In the Heaven Dou Empire, only Mu Chen dared to slap Xue Qinghe's backside.
Soul Power +6666
Mu Chen's actions earned him another 6,666 soul power points.
"Mm."
Xue Qinghe nodded, saying nothing about Mu Chen's behavior, and left with Ning Fengzhi to visit other advanced soul master academies.
"Quite the actor, isn't she? To keep her cool like that. Next time, I'll have to be bolder."
Mu Chen watched Xue Qinghe's retreating figure, a sly smile on his lips, his cunning eyes plotting something.
"Mu Chen, come with me."
Suddenly, Xue Ke approached Mu Chen, speaking softly before heading towards a secluded corner.
Mu Chen looked at Xiao Wu, who nodded. He then followed Xue Ke into a small grove.
"What do you want to talk about?" Mu Chen asked, curious about Xue Ke's back.
"What do you think of my brother?" Xue Ke asked.
"Ah?" Mu Chen was taken aback. Could Xue Ke have discovered Xue Qinghe's true identity, knowing she was Qian Renxue in disguise?
"I'm asking how you view my brother as a person," Xue Ke clarified, turning to face Mu Chen.
"Just about him?" Mu Chen asked.
Xue Ke nodded.
"He's great, very eloquent, and gives off a calm and grand impression. Though he's deep, he feels approachable and lacks any princely airs. He's easy to get along with. It's just..." Mu Chen replied.
"Just what?" Princess Xue Ke asked.
"His skin is too fair, his backside a bit round, and the only flaw is his chest is a bit small," Mu Chen said honestly.
"Then... do you think mine is small?" Princess Xue Ke blushed, asking.
"Ah?" Mu Chen was surprised by Princess Xue Ke's question, unsure of her intentions.
"I'm asking if you think mine is small?" Princess Xue Ke repeated.
"Ah?" This time, Mu Chen was certain he hadn't misheard. Princess Xue Ke was asking him a sensitive question.
"Hard to judge? How about this?" Princess Xue Ke took Mu Chen's hand and placed it on her.
"This..." Mu Chen's mind went blank.
Soul Power +136,000
Due to Princess Xue Ke's bold move, Mu Chen gained 136,000 soul power points.
