Chapter 679: I Believe You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“This matter initially had nothing to do with you. It’s just that I’d like to entrust you with an important duty.” Emperor Ying looked at Lou Qianxue with an imposing gaze.
“Oh? What is it?”
“Previously, some malicious people poisoned Crown Prince. Now that he has recovered and is going to lead the army to establish his authority, the people who plotted against him before will definitely not sit idle.” A hostile look flashed across Emperor Ying’s eyes. “This time, Crown Prince is leading the troops to lure out our enemy. However, he will also be in great danger. Hence, I hope that you can protect him while he is leading the troops.”
Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. “The Tian Zhao empire has many people with higher cultivation than me. Why does Your Majesty want me to go then?”
“Because, besides being a powerful cultivator, you are also an impressive alchemist.” A look of pride appeared on Emperor Ying’s domineering face. “Yu’er is in the Heavenly Martial Realm now. He doesn’t need anyone to protect him. Only a few worthy enemies in the Tian Zhao empire or the Nandu Nation can oppose him. However, I’m afraid that they will use some dirty methods.”
The Heavenly Martial Realm?
Lou Qianxue looked at Crown Prince Yu in shock. “As expected of the supreme glazed body… His cultivation speed is terrifying!”
Soon, she collected her thoughts and nodded. “I understand. I will refine a few antidotes, protective pills, and even inscriptions. However, I still need to consider whether I’ll go or not.”
Emperor Ying nodded. “Alright! Regardless of what you’ll decide, I plan to let Zhen Guogong organize a martial arts tournament and select youths to join the army. The champion will be chosen to protect Crown Prince. This is the only fair method to convince everyone. Miss Lou, if you have thought about it carefully and would like to participate, you can sign up at Zhen Guogong’s mansion.”
Lou Qianxue half-smiled. “Your Majesty is telling me all this now. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll agree but fail to become the champion?”
Emperor Ying confidently smiled. “I believe in you.”
Lou Qianxue was surprised.
The emperor continued, “Of course, I trust my own judgment more.”
“…”

Half an hour later, Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan left the palace.
When they passed by the Imperial Garden…
“It’s you!” A cold, vicious voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, a powerful force rushed in Lou Qianxue’s direction…
The strong pressure made Lou Qianxue unable to breathe. Her expression slightly changed…
Boom!
The handsome Dan Taiyuan waved his sleeves and dispersed the domineering pressure…
At the same time.
Dan Taiyuan’s cold, emotionless eyes stared at the attacker as if he were looking at a dead man. A murderous look surged in his eyes.
Lou Qianxue came back to her senses and looked into her attacker’s eyes. A grim look instantly appeared on her face. “The flame person!”
“Heh, little girl, you’re so lucky! The Phantom Demon Heart Fire didn’t burn you to death, huh? Did this man save you?”
As Lou Qianxue had disguised herself to how she looked two years ago, the flame person immediately recognized her.
Dan Taiyuan’s cold, ruthless gaze turned toward Lou Qianxue. “What happened?”
Lou Qianxue did not answer.
She took a step forward and glared at ‘Gong Sunheng’ with anger and hatred. She clenched her fists. “Back then, you treated me like that and even took control of Gong Sunheng’s body. I will definitely not spare you!”
“Hmph, I’m the Fourth Royal Uncle now. How dare you kill me in the royal palace? If you really kill me, do you think Emperor Ying will spare you and your family?”
“Kill you?” Lou Qianxue’s dark and beautiful eyes became frosty as she said in a bloodthirsty manner, “No! Killing you would be too merciful. With your powers, you can possess another body in the blink of an eye… Instead, I will pull out your soul and burn it with fire. I will utterly destroy it!”
