“Ye Chui? It is you!?” The “beauty” in the water said in surprise.
He was none other than the Flower Prince, the Fifth Prince. This prince had a somewhat delicate appearance to begin with. His long hair draped over his shoulders, and his figure was quite slender. Bathing in the water with his back to Ye Chui and Debbie, at first glance, he could easily be mistaken for a beauty.
At the moment he turned around, Ye Chui’s heart nearly stopped beating. This back view was simply deadly, was it not?
While Ye Chui, Debbie, and the Blue Knight were in shock, the Fifth Prince had already rushed out of the water with a splash. His face was full of joy. “Mr Ye Chui, we truly are fated. I did not expect to reunite with you here.”
Debbie let out a surprised “Ah” and quickly covered her eyes with her hand. Ye Chui also hurriedly turned his head away. In his mind, he inexplicably recalled the scene from when he was still the leader of the Jobe guild, at the Second Prince’s naming day banquet, when the Fifth Prince had called him to that room. It was simply a nightmare. In short, bloody hell, it was an eyesore…
Fortunately, the Fifth Prince was not completely naked. He still wore a pair of silk shorts around his waist…
“Were you also brought here by the Green Bay tribe people? After we were teleported to the secret realm, we happened to appear near an oasis here. At that time, some Green Bay tribe residents were picking wild fruits there. We startled them quite a bit. Luckily, they could communicate with us, so we followed them back here.” The Fifth Prince said excitedly.
“Since we are so fated, why not form an alliance? Where is the Thirteenth Prince?”
The Fifth Prince began looking around left and right. When he realised he did not see the Thirteenth Prince’s figure, he seemed to misunderstand something. His face lit up with joy. “Has the prince you protect already died? Then you can pledge loyalty to me from now on. Even outside the secret realm, I was very interested in you. It is a pity we never had the chance to get along properly…” As he said this, he winked flirtatiously at Ye Chui and reached out to touch Ye Chui’s face.
Bloody hell, this would not do!
Ye Chui dodged to one side while preparing to slap this damned pervert. But Debbie was even quicker than Ye Chui. Her small fist slammed into the Fifth Prince’s stomach. She then pulled Ye Chui behind her a bit and said to the Fifth Prince, “You pervert, stay away from me!”
The Fifth Prince himself was a swordsman with a strong body. This punch did not cause him any harm. But he still clutched his stomach and staggered back a bit. He gave Debbie an awkward smile, then shifted his gaze back to Ye Chui. “Sorry, I just could not help myself when I saw you. A man as handsome and powerful as you is the most fascinating…”
Bloody hell, if you say one more word, I will hit you. I really will hit you…
Debbie, who was grabbing Ye Chui’s arm, could fully feel the muscles in Ye Chui’s arm tense up. It was not just Ye Chui. Debbie herself also wanted to rush up and give this Fifth Prince a beating. Besides disgust, there was another strong emotion. But for the moment, she did not know exactly what that was…
“Mr Ye Chui, is he an enemy?” The Blue Knight Constantine asked.
Ye Chui waved his hand, telling the Blue Knight not to act rashly yet. Wait until the situation was clear.
He said to the Fifth Prince, “The Thirteenth Prince is not dead. I will not betray him, let alone pledge loyalty to you. But we can consider forming an alliance.”
Ye Chui now knew that the biggest enemies in the secret realm were not the princes fighting each other, but the Blood Scorpion tribe and the divine citizens whose stance was still undecided. Although the Fifth Prince had major issues with his behaviour, he had not been involved in much framing of Ye Chui back in the imperial capital. The Rahn family behind him had mostly maintained a neutral stance. For Ye Chui, he was actually a good candidate for an alliance.
“The Thirteenth Prince is not dead yet?” The Fifth Prince seemed a bit disappointed for a moment. But he was clearly very interested in allying with Ye Chui. Smiling, he said, “Of course I am happy to ally with you. That way, we can take down that madwoman together.” As he spoke, he opened his arms wide, as if to celebrate the alliance with a loving hug…
Ye Chui instinctively stepped back two paces and warned, “If you harass me again, do not blame me for being rude… Also, who is the madwoman you mentioned? The other prince here in the Green Bay tribe?”
“The madwoman is…”
The Fifth Prince looked disappointed at not being able to hug Ye Chui. He answered in his mouth. But at that moment, the Blue Knight suddenly let out a low shout. “Careful!” He then thrust his long spear forward. Blue sword energy swept out horizontally.
With a few popping sounds, the sword energy attack originally aimed at Ye Chui was directly twisted to the sides. It fell into the ground sand, creating several large pits. Following the attack, a person rushed over quickly from the distance. The long sword in his hand was already aimed at Ye Chui.
Ye Chui realised he actually knew this person. He was someone Ye Chui had seen at the Second Prince’s naming day banquet. He was the eldest son of the Rahn family.
A handsome youth.
The Fifth Prince had a marriage contract with the second daughter of the Rahn family. But he seemed to have never had anything with that second daughter. Instead, he often mingled with the Rahn family’s eldest son… The Fifth Prince participated in the Crown War, and his guards were all provided by the Rahn family, including this Rahn eldest son. He was a very skilled swordsman.
“Kunlan, Mr Ye Chui has already agreed to ally with us.” The Fifth Prince quickly said to the handsome youth. This handsome youth’s name was Kunlan Rahn.
“No, I do not agree to ally with him!”
But Kunlan rejected it outright. At the same time, he looked at Ye Chui with angry eyes.
The remaining six guards from the Rahn family had also rushed over by now. They stood behind the Fifth Prince and Kunlan.
Ye Chui was somewhat puzzled by Kunlan’s attitude. “Why? We do not seem to have offended your Rahn family, do we?”
Among the four great families of the Star Empire, the Kulin family was tied to the church and naturally hostile to Ye Chui. The Moonstone family had long since formed a grudge with Ye Chui. The Beast family was even more irreconcilable with Ye Chui. Only the Rahn family, the empire’s number one Golden Snake family, should have no conflict with Ye Chui. So Ye Chui was confused by Kunlan’s attitude.
“Of course you offended me!” Kunlan said almost through gritted teeth. He glared angrily at Ye Chui, then looked at the Fifth Prince with a hint of resentment. “Ever since seeing you at the Second Prince’s residence, the Fifth Prince has been thinking about you nonstop. After you revealed your identity, he mentions you every moment… I simply hate you to the bone!!!”
Ye Chui, Debbie, and the Blue Knight: “…”
He had a sentence he did not know whether to say or not?
The Fifth Prince gave Ye Chui an awkward smile. He leaned close to Kunlan, trying to persuade him of something. But now Kunlan was like a girl whose head was clouded by anger. How could he listen to the Fifth Prince? He said fiercely to Ye Chui, “I swore long ago. After entering the secret realm, the first person I want to kill is you, Ye Chui!”
Ye Chui felt a wave of scalp numbness. Why on earth did he encounter this bizarre love triangle crisis?
Just as Ye Chui was about to speak, another group of people suddenly walked over from another direction. When Ye Chui turned to look, his expression froze slightly. He finally knew who the madwoman the Fifth Prince was referring to was: the Twelfth Prince’s mother!
The Twelfth Prince was only three years old now. His mother was from the Moonstone family. She was the family’s eldest daughter and also Shi Yi’s older sister!
She was an elegant woman who looked about twenty-five or twenty-six. Her face carried the nobility and untouchability of aristocracy. Her temperament was cold and glamorous. Her appearance vaguely resembled Shi Yi’s. In her hand, she held the Third Prince’s hand. The Third Prince did not know what was happening now. He bounced and jumped, letting out cheerful laughter. Behind them were guards wearing the Moonstone family crest.
“Mr Ye Chui, I have heard my sister mention you long ago. Hello.” The Moonstone family woman walked up to Ye Chui and performed a noble curtsy. But her eyes looked at Ye Chui with a hint of hostility.
Ye Chui did not even need to check the map to know she must now show as blood red.
The Green Bay tribe had already received two princes. Those two princes were the Fifth Prince and the Twelfth Prince. Now, the forces of these two princes were both preparing to bare their fangs at Ye Chui.
“Miss Ming Yi, I propose we join hands to deal with Ye Chui. What do you think?” Kunlan Rahn said at this time.
Shi Yi’s older sister was named Ming Yi.
Ming Yi’s lips curved into a slight smile. After arriving in Green Bay, she had met the Fifth Prince. But she had never agreed to ally with him. However, now that she saw Ye Chui appear, she changed her mind.
Ye Chui was an enemy sufficient to force other princes to unite against him!
Ming Yi showed a cold smile and looked at Ye Chui. Her demeanour and gaze made it seem as if Ye Chui was already a dead man.
“The Green Bay tribe people will not let you cause trouble here.” Ye Chui said in a deep voice.
“These days, we have been trying to win over the Green Bay tribe people. But whether it is me or the Fifth Prince, we have had no effect at all. The Green Bay tribe people will not care about our fights. They are outsiders here.” Ming Yi replied with a smile. “Mr Ye Chui, Shi Yi says you are extremely detestable. Shi Yi proposed marriage to you, and you directly refused.”
“The Sixth Prince cherishes Shi Yi more. I feel nothing for her.” Ye Chui shook his head.
“That is truly a pity. If you had agreed to Shi Yi back then, we would be friends now. We could join hands to deal with the Fifth Prince.” Ming Yi covered her mouth and let out a soft laugh. It was as if she was mocking Ye Chui’s previous wrong judgement.
When Kunlan and the Fifth Prince heard Ming Yi’s words, their expressions both became slightly unpleasant.
After the Fifth Prince and Twelfth Prince arrived in the Green Bay territory, the reason they had not immediately fought to the death was because their strengths were evenly matched. Fighting would only lead to mutual defeat. Ye Chui’s appearance could allow them to quickly ally. But if either side chose to stand with Ye Chui and win him over, it would immediately be disadvantageous to the third party.
However, for Kunlan, it was extremely fortunate that Ming Yi had no fondness for Ye Chui at all. She also knew that Ye Chui was a person who could not be controlled. It was impossible to make Ye Chui submit under her. The previous words were just to tell Ye Chui: not agreeing to Shi Yi back then was how wrong a choice it was. Then, she waved her hand, signalling her guards to prepare for battle.
Seeing this, Kunlan also quickly did the same, having his side’s guards prepare for battle at any time.
The Fifth Prince seemed to still want to mediate. But in controlling those guards, he was clearly not as good as Kunlan, the Rahn eldest son. After all, these guards were Rahn family servants.
Both sides seemed ready to attack Ye Chui in the next moment.
Whether it was the Fifth Prince’s guards or the Twelfth Prince’s guards, each one was a very powerful person. Ye Chui checked with his magic guide book. At least four of them had point values exceeding three hundred. In the outside world, they would absolutely rank in the empire’s top hundred experts. Some were even not inferior to the snake-haired Yuren. Although Ye Chui was powerful, being surrounded and attacked by so many experts probably still gave him little chance of victory, right?
That was what they thought.
They were also prepared to do that.
Dealing with Ye Chui would benefit everyone.
But at this moment, Ye Chui laughed out loud.
“I proposed an alliance, but you insist on saying no. Then I can only do it the simple and crude way. Choose to surrender to the Thirteenth Prince.” He said.
Actually, he could accept allying with the Fifth Prince. But when he saw Kunlan’s sissy jealous reaction and Ming Yi’s appearance, he knew alliance was impossible, not to mention they would not agree. Even if they did, Ye Chui would not feel at ease, would he?
It was better to make them submit outright.
“How arrogant are you to think you are our opponent?!” Ming Yi said with a mocking expression.
The Rahn eldest son Kunlan also took out a strange jade pendant from his bosom. That jade pendant was the same as the one the Fourth Prince had once taken out. It seemed to be a one-time summon heroic spirit jade talisman. Kunlan said proudly, “The heroic spirit you defeated that Yuren summoned was indeed very powerful. But this heroic spirit jade talisman I bought for one hundred thousand gold coins can definitely entangle that heroic spirit for a while. Without that summoned heroic spirit, what can you rely on?”
“In the end, you only have three people.” Ming Yi followed up.
“Heh, who told you we only have three people?”
Ye Chui said faintly to Ming Yi. Then he turned his head to look beside him. Waves of footsteps were gathering from all directions.
The Green Bay tribe warriors were rushing over quickly!
They soon surrounded the area completely.
Among them, Ye Chui saw Kela and the others. In the middle was an elderly man with white hair and beard. That old man had an aged body, but his movements were quite swift. In his hand, he held a staff that looked quite heavy.
Kunlan and Ming Yi also saw these people arrive. They frowned: thinking, could it be that the Green Bay tribe people do not want outsiders fighting in their territory? That big-bearded man was the high priest in charge of Green Bay. These days, Kunlan and Ming Yi had not skimped on getting close to him, offering all sorts of benefits. But he had refused to support them.
While they hesitated, they saw the old man come excitedly to Ye Chui’s front. Then he said to Ye Chui, “Are you the great hero who single-handedly killed thousands of Blood Scorpion tribe warriors? The Green Bay tribe will regard you as our most precious guest. I will do my utmost to satisfy any demand you have. The Green Bay tribe is willing to fight for the hero!” After saying that, he gave Kunlan, Ming Yi, and the others a cold glance.
Ming Yi, Kunlan, and the others immediately stiffened in place.
Ye Chui looked at them with a smug smile.
Who told you we only had three people? The Green Bay tribe is now all my people!
He said to these two groups intent on killing him, “You can now choose to submit to the Thirteenth Prince, or be killed.”
