Chapter 173: Becoming an Evil Dragon
“Ahem~”
At the front, Kong Fei coughed to mask the embarrassment from earlier.
“Everyone, there’s no need to panic. This is our Great Xia’s North Prince. He was delayed yesterday due to some matters and was violently sent here by the seniors, which disturbed everyone.”
Kong Fei explained casually.
“What? The North Prince? Is he the arrogant North Prince?”
“Bullshit! He’s clearly the Young Hero North Prince!”
“No, he was the Dragon-Slaying Youngster before, but later he became the Evil Dragon.”
“Well, I don’t care. At any rate, he helped us stop General Kong from chanting, so he’s a Young Hero again!”
The title of North Prince still held weight.
Even those who weren’t part of the surrounding forces of the capital were familiar with it.
Kong Fei stopped his chanting, and most people were happy.
Of course, it was just most people; there were still some who weren’t pleased.
Like Qin Xiu.
If he couldn’t see the issue at this point, he wouldn’t be destined to be a prince at all.
Kong Fei was just messing around with pointless rules.
It turned out that the real goal wasn’t to talk about rules at all, but to buy time waiting for Qin Bei’s arrival.
‘Father is really biased! How can he tolerate such a person?’
Qin Xiu cursed inwardly.
He was also quite displeased with Emperor Xia’s favoritism.
But he could only keep those thoughts to himself.
Moreover, he was confident that he would comprehend the “Void Scripture” this time. Then, he would be the one favored.
North Prince? Just a stepping stone, that’s all.
…
“Alright, I’ve almost finished explaining the rules. I originally planned to go over a few more important rules, but it’s getting late, and it’s time to open the royal tomb.”
“Of course, if anyone still has questions about the rules, feel free to speak up. I can explain them again.”
Kong Fei joked.
“No, no, no! General Kong’s time is precious; let’s not waste it on this. We already know the rules, so we won’t delay General Kong any longer.”
“Exactly, exactly! General Kong, don’t worry; if anyone breaks the rules, we’ll remind them, so let’s open the royal tomb quickly.”
…
The many talented individuals panicked upon hearing that Kong Fei wanted to explain the rules again.
It was a struggle just to interrupt him; who would want to listen to him drone on about those boring rules?
Hastily opening the royal tomb was the most important thing.
“Alright, since…”
But just as everyone’s once-quiet hearts began to stir again, a loud voice interrupted Kong Fei.
“General Kong, I’m late and still don’t know the rules of this royal tomb trial. Please explain again!”
This sudden voice sharpened everyone’s gazes in an instant.
Who the hell was this? How dare he say such a thing?
Unforgivable!
But after seeing who spoke, they fell silent once more.
Who else could it be but Qin Bei?
The group that had just said Qin Bei was the Dragon-Slaying Youngster was now utterly speechless.
The North Prince seriously couldn’t resist slapping their faces even for a second.
Just a moment ago, he was the Dragon-Slaying Youngster and hadn’t even slain the dragon yet, and now he had turned into an Evil Dragon himself…
Simply appalling.
Yet, what troubled everyone was that they didn’t dare confront or provoke this Evil Dragon.
They could only watch the drama unfold quietly.
Kong Fei, whose face had been smiling, now froze after hearing Qin Bei’s words.
He turned to look at Qin Bei, wanting to ask if he was serious.
I mean, you shouldn’t torment people like this, right?
You’re a royal family member; how could you not know the rules of the royal tomb trial?
Isn’t this a joke?
But seeing Qin Bei’s eager expression, Kong Fei could only twitch his mouth and endure explaining the rules once more.
Looking at Kong Fei, who started explaining the rules again with a deadpan face, Qin Bei revealed a satisfied smile.
“You think you can just brush things off because you hit me on the head? Prepare for your joke!”
Hearing Qin Bei mumble to himself, Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue exchanged glances.
This…
Does revenge refer to her husband?
No wonder, if he dares to retaliate against Emperor Xia, what does he have to fear?
Qin Zhen could only shake his head helplessly.
He truly couldn’t understand his younger brother.
When the outsiders from the Holy Demon Empire came, he thought Qin Bei was a fiery person, and it indeed turned out to be so.
But that wasn’t the whole story. Besides being passionate, his brother was also very… middle school…
He used to be a diligent prince who craved his father’s approval.
Even if he didn’t achieve much in the end, at least he was earnest and made an effort.
But now… Not only does he lack ambition, but he also frequently makes a fool of himself and angers their father…
The worst part? His cultivation keeps rising despite everything.
The speed was like someone else giving him enlightenment; he improved his cultivation while playing around.
It’s simply maddening.
Though Qin Zhen was reluctant to admit it, the fact was that the current Qin Bei was more approachable and more popular.
“Husband, stop messing around. We’ve been waiting for a long time, and now we have to listen to the chanting again; I can’t put up with it.”
Mu Zhaoxue held Qin Bei’s hand with a helpless smile.
“That won’t do! The bump on my head hasn’t gone down yet; I can’t let him off easily.”
With a beautiful woman in his embrace, Qin Bei was moved and took action, yet he wasn’t soft-hearted.
“Then I’ll blow on it for you and help it heal quickly.”
Ji Zhuyue supported Qin Bei’s head, aimed at the big bump on it, and gently parted her red lips.
“Whoosh~”
A refreshing sensation instantly swept through his entire being.
Clearly, Ji Zhuyue had employed some “secret treatment” Qin Bei was unaware of!
It must be this way; although the bump hadn’t dissipated, the frustration in Qin Bei’s heart had vanished.
But who can resist such temptation? Though the gloom was gone, now he felt restless.
The problem was that in such a public setting, Qin Bei couldn’t do anything inappropriate, could he?
When it came to being playful with his wife, it was best to be discreet and not draw any unwanted eyes.
Those around, stuck listening to the monotonous chanting, turned to find the “Evil Dragon” who had caused them all this trouble enjoying himself with beautiful women on either side!
Hateful? No! This was downright detestable!
Especially since those beautiful women were treating him with such tenderness.
The male cultivators in the crowd had their jaws clenched, and their cheeks were bulging in anger!
Just a moment ago, they attempted to get acquainted with Qin Bei, and now they couldn’t even bear to think of it.
They’d settle for not tossing a sack over Qin Bei’s head and giving him a beating in the dark!
No one should be bullied like this!
Of course, it wasn’t just these individuals who were infuriated; even Kong Fei, who had been dry-mouthed from lecturing, was seething.
‘Son! If you keep associating with this North Prince in the future, I might have to take matters into my own hands and have another child just to deal with you!’
Kong Fei felt utterly wronged.
Even Dou E would have to sympathize with him before leaving.
“Okay, these are the rules. Now, the royal tomb trial officially begins!”
At last, having finished explaining the important rules, Kong Fei eased the entrance to the royal tomb open.
