“Roar roar,”
The Black Gold Flame Dragon was summoned out, his body several metres long immediately occupying nearly half of the inn’s hall. Tables and chairs were swept flying to the ground one after another, some of the diners who had stayed behind out of sheer fright screamed in terror from their mouths, no longer having the courage to watch any spectacle, they fled in abject terror, the remaining armoured swordsmen also showed similar frightened expressions, where on their faces was there any trace of the previous contempt and arrogance?
In the cramped space, Long Bao could hardly fully spread his wings, but that ferocious body was already enough to instantly bring immense pressure to these armoured swordsmen, and the dragon’s might carried in Long Bao’s roar directly made those Earth Dragon Beasts that claimed to be his descendants become panicked and flustered.
Most of them directly prostrated on the ground like frightened puppies, that larger white Earth Dragon Beast shuddered all over and flung the Tenth Prince off its body, turning its head to prepare to flee.
But Long Bao had long since spotted it, boom, his body crashed through the inn’s door and charged out, one claw firmly pinning down that white Earth Dragon Beast, “roar,” flames sprayed out, instantly roasting the seized white beast into a pool of charred meat. He lowered his head to find the magical beast’s magic core from it and swallowed it in one gulp.
Long Bao’s current power was less than one ten-thousandth of his peak period, he needed to devour magic crystals to gradually recover his original strength, but ordinary magical beasts provided negligible enhancement to him, second-tier magical beasts like Earth Dragon Beasts were simply not enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
“Roar roar, letting this dragon deal with these fellows is an insult to this dragon!” He turned his head and roared at Ye Chui.
“They are Earth Dragon Beasts, said to be your descendants.” Ye Chui said with a smile.
“This dragon is dying of laughter, such trash also qualifies to possess giant dragon bloodline, they just happen to look a bit similar.” Long Bao said full of disdain, one after another, successively biting off the heads of those Earth Dragon Beasts prostrating on the ground, swallowing the magic cores.
These magical beasts that were usually majestic and terrifying and possessed some intelligence, seeing their companions’ heads being eaten off, soon to be their turn, besides trembling in fear, they did not even have the courage to flee, as for the Dragon Riders Guard and armoured swordsmen who were just now majestic and extraordinary, they were even more scared into constant trembling, the weapons in their hands clattering to the ground, a few even collapsing onto the ground on their bottoms.
There were no lack of experts among them, but usually relying on the Tenth Prince’s prestige to bully others, knowing Ye Chui and the others were formidable, they should not do anything to them, but now they discovered, this illegitimate son seemed to completely disregard the Tenth Prince.
And that Tenth Prince Jory, just now flung flying to the ground by the white Earth Dragon Beast, was still sprawled sitting on the ground, his face deathly pale without a trace of colour, his Dragon Riders Guard private soldiers were actually so vulnerable!?
Only now did Ye Chui finally stand up from the table, still pinching a piece of roasted ham in his hand as he walked to the Tenth Prince’s side, smiling as he squatted down: “Tenth Prince, you are that legendary brutal prince, right? Indeed so brutal, actually bringing so many people to attack me.”
“You, you are just an illegitimate child, you have no status, you cannot harm me…” The Tenth Prince was still young, only thirteen years old, now scared witless, but usually in the imperial capital no one dared to do anything to him, so in his heart he still had sufficient courage, shouting at Ye Chui.
Slap!
What answered him was Ye Chui’s slap, Ye Chui looked at him with a smile.
“You, you dare, I will kill…”
“Slap!”
“You hit me, I will tell Grandpa Emperor…”
“Slap!”
“You… waa waa waa waa…”
Seeing the Tenth Prince burst into loud cries like a child, Ye Chui then stopped his hand, bratty kids should be disciplined this way.
Actually, Ye Chui had long heard of this Tenth Prince, not just him, he also had some understanding of the empire’s other princes. Among the Starfall Empire’s twelve princes, each had their own exclusive title. When Ye Chui left Windrock City, Lord Kevin had already explained in detail to Ye Chui, this was also to let Ye Chui have more understanding of the enemies he was about to face.
The First Prince’s title was the Merciful Prince, now already 42 years old, the old emperor’s youngest son, and the only one among all the princes of the uncle generation. He was most beloved by the Starfall Empire’s citizens, but had little support among the empire’s nobility, aside from a good reputation, basically no backing.
The Second Prince’s title was the Rice Bucket Prince, 35 years old, from the name it was clear, this was a fellow who would basically be the first to be ignored in the battle for the throne, a person as his nickname, a good-for-nothing self-important fatty, a famous “imperial joke” in the imperial capital.
The Third Prince, the Cold Prince, 27 years old, innately cold, ruthless in style, commanding the empire’s Imperial Guard, his mother came from the famous Kulin family, his wife was also a cousin from the Kulin family.
Ye Chui’s old acquaintance the Fourth Prince, 22 years old, originally called the Cold Arrogant Prince, but heard after leaving Windrock City, because of that head of green hair, now called the Green Hair Prince, his marriage with Lord Kevin’s daughter fell through, now being treated as a laughingstock, the Green Hair Prince matter, Ye Chui and the others actually heard it mentioned when staying overnight at the White Horse Station by the Warmwater River.
The Fifth Prince, the Flower Prince, 21 years old, a man beautiful as a flower, admired by many nobles and commoner misses for his beauty, but heard he likes men, he and the Starfall Empire’s first wealthiest family, the renowned Gold Snake family’s Laen family, a beautiful young lady had already held a marriage, now two years time, but said that young lady is still a vir·gin even now, on the contrary that young lady’s brother, every night mixes with the Flower Prince…
The Sixth Prince Ye Chui had already encountered, the Beggar Prince, 18 years old, genius swordsman, madly pursuing the Moonstone family’s Xiuyi.
The Seventh Prince, the Sick Ghost Prince, because as a child he accidentally received a curse, plagued by illness, now 18 years old, said he will not live past 20.
The Eighth Prince, the Glass Prince, 16 years old, his parents both already dead, although a prince, yet without any support, innately timid, the thing most gossiped about is once being beaten to tears on the street by the Laen family’s eldest son, thus earning the Glass Prince title.
The Ninth Prince, the Merciful Prince’s son, 15 years old, because of his father, kind-hearted personality, called the Good Prince.
The Tenth Prince was the current Brutal Prince, now only thirteen years old, but his brutal name already spread throughout the entire empire, the Dragon Riders Guard’s name Ye Chui had also heard Lord Kevin mention, that was the Tenth Prince’s raised private soldiers, once renowned far and wide for directly massacring a small noble’s estate with the Dragon Riders Guard.
He had a tyrannical temperament, most liked abusing others, feared by commoners and some nobles, he had a betrothal with the eldest daughter of the empire’s third-ranked family, the Jories family, he also thus received the Jories family’s support in contending for the throne.
The Jories family was also called the Magical Beast family, their family controlled a secret realm called the “Beast Garden”, raising magical beasts within, this family also rose to prominence by selling magical beasts, the Tenth Prince’s Dragon Riders Guard, those Earth Dragon Beasts were gifts from the Jories family at the time of betrothal.
The Eleventh Prince, called the Commoner Prince, now eight years old, without any backing, his mother now a loyal nun.
The Twelfth Prince, the Diamond Prince, born to the Moonstone family’s eldest daughter, Xiuyi’s sister, now only three years old.
Among the Starfall Empire’s most powerful four great families, the Gold Snake family supported the Fifth Prince, the Moonstone family supported the Twelfth Prince, the Magical Beast family supported the Tenth Prince, the Kulin family supported the Third Prince, and all the princes more or less had ties to the Church, for example the Seventh Prince, he now affected by a terrible curse, heard the Church could help lift it, but the price definitely not cheap, if he wanted to live past twenty, he needed to pledge loyalty to the Church.
Princes wanting to seize the throne, the backing behind was crucial, the Fourth Prince previously planned to hold a wedding with Lord Kevin’s daughter Windsor, also hoping to gain Lord Kevin’s support, unfortunately ruined by Ye Chui.
…
“Still want to drive me away?” Ye Chui continued looking at the Tenth Prince with a smile.
“I, I…” On the Tenth Prince’s little face, several handprints could clearly be seen, in his eyes was unconcealable fear, he shuddered and suddenly pointed at that grey-haired rat-eyed attendant standing nearby, “It was Russ who told me to do this, he said let me come here to intercept you…” This was the bratty kid shifting blame after causing trouble?
Ye Chui looked up at that grey-haired rat-eyed attendant Russ.
Russ’s face changed, he turned his head to prepare to run.
Ye Chui whistled from his mouth, Long Bao who had just finished dealing with those few Earth Dragon Beasts and was feeling if his power had increased even a tiny bit, one wing accordingly fell in front of Russ: “Roar,”
Russ thudded to the ground, kneeling and crawling towards Ye Chui: “My lord, I, I am wronged, I did not want to do anything to you all at all…”
“The Tenth Prince is an idiot, your head is not that dumb, right? We just did that job north of the Warmwater River, and you still dare let the Tenth Prince come find trouble with us?” Ye Chui asked.
“This…” Russ showed a hesitant expression, seeming to be deliberating whether he should say certain things.
Seeing this, Ye Chui’s eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up and walked to Russ’s front.
“What are you going to do?” Russ’s expression startled.
“I have no leisure to bandy words with you, so this is just right to try one of my magics.” Ye Chui said this, then controlled the iPad to release a spell.
Mental spell: [Intrusion]
This spell since Ye Chui learned it, had never been used, at that time after leaving the Bone Burial Grounds, he immediately left Windrock City, together with Debbie and the others, because worried if this spell would harm people, so he had not tested it on companions, now was not this a golden opportunity?
Accompanying the spell release, Russ’s body immediately stiffened, his expression fell into a dazed state, while Ye Chui curiously looked towards his iPad screen, his expression then also showed a surprised look, after releasing this spell, another application spell opened on the screen: [Browser].
The [Browser] application was unlocked when the iPad was upgraded, but Ye Chui had always not known how to use this thing, opening it was also a blank screen, but now it seemed, the [Browser]’s function was to be used in conjunction with mental intrusion type spells?
After using [Intrusion], the [Browser] would open, then log into the opponent’s will world, this was treating other people’s thoughts as websites!
Accompanying the [Browser] opening, just like entering a URL to log into a website, it quickly displayed a simple webpage screen.
This was almost identical to the website homepages in Ye Chui’s impression, the website logo was Russ’s own image, and his name: Russ Quinto.
Below was the navigation bar, the navigation bar had several categories: Home, Memories, Experiences, Skills, Photo Album, Videos, etc.
Among them, the content under Home was a column of article titles, seeming each important memory or insight or reflection would become such article title form, Ye Chui scanned these articles, seeing they respectively were:
Today’s Memory Summary.
On the Prince’s Preferences.
Methods to Flatter the Prince.
Summary of Patterns for Bootlicking the Tenth Prince.
Exclusive Record of the Tenth Prince’s Idiotic Deeds.
My Long-Buried Resentments Towards the Tenth Prince.
These few were marked in red, seeming important matters Russ always kept in mind, and below there was a long string of white text titles, those should be relatively less important items:
The Breakfast I Ate This Morning.
The Beauty I Just Saw on the Street.
That Beauty Actually Hit Me, Damn It.
Who Was That Mysterious Woman I Met Yesterday?
