Chapter 18: Saint Ruler!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Hu Jiujiu looked up at Li Yuanqing in shock. Her master was very strange. He rarely spoke, but he also rarely lost his temper. It was as if everything in his eyes wasn’t worth worrying about. It was rare to see him being so strict today. The more it was like this, the more Hu Jiujiu did not dare to lower her guard and knelt down.

“If you are strong enough, you can just crush the inner demon seed. There is no need to test it out often. I don’t like others messing around with me!”

Even though Hu Jiujiu had entered the Martial Saint realm after recovering from her injuries, that was just nonsense in Li Yuanqing’s eyes. If she really wanted to break through the control of the inner demon seed, her strength was not enough.

If there was nothing to do, it was best not to play around too often. Therefore, after Li Yuanqing glanced at Hu Jiujiu, he secretly exerted some force to control the inner demon seed in Hu Jiujiu’s body.

Hu Jiujiu groaned and looked at Li Yuanqing in horror. The pain in her body felt as though thousands of arrows had pierced through her heart. This pain was even more terrifying than when she was severely injured and on the verge of death.

Hu Jiujiu looked at Li Yuanqing differently now. Her master had seen through her little scheme, and she could not bear the consequences of this backlash. Even though she was a Martial Saint, her entire body was still shivering as she laid prostrate before Li Yuanqing. Her limbs were sprawled on the ground and she did not dare to resist at all.

Li Yuanqing did not look at Hu Jiujiu anymore. Instead, he turned around to cultivate.

Even if his inner demon seed did not advance to level five, he still had the Saint Extermination Stone in his hands. With these two items, even if Hu Jiujiu wanted to break free from his restraints, she would have to think twice.

“Master!” The qilin beast nudged Hu Jiujiu who was lying on the ground with its claws, indicating that Li Yuanqing had left and she could get up now.

This qilin beast was actually Hu Jiu’s mount.

“Go and take care of those children. There must be a King in the Wilderness! I must break free from the inner demon seed. No one can be my master, my king!” Hu Jiujiu’s aura intensified as she said this.

She could actually speak after most of her injuries had healed, but she felt humiliated. She was the princess of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, a king of the heavens, yet she had become a human’s slave.

She would rather not speak for the rest of her life. It was too humiliating. However, just now, she did not have the slightest intention to resist. Hu Jiujiu despised herself for being so disappointing.

As such, she wouldn’t lose when the qilin beast was to return and become the new king!

“May our king return soon!” After kowtowing three times to Hu Jiujiu, the qilin beast reluctantly left the valley.

After it left the valley, it quickly entered the hinterlands in the Wilderness. There were his clansmen and Hu Jiujiu’s followers. Because he was the Saint Ruler’s mount, he had supreme prestige here. The beast tide was actually for the sake of helping the Saint Ruler find divine medicine to heal her injuries.

Li Yuanqing paid no attention to all of that. He was still cultivating quietly. He signed in and let himself grow stronger slowly. A year had passed since he returned from the Imperial City.

During this year, the remnants of the Blood Flame Sect were chased down by the Northern Kingdom’s Emperor with all his might. They were almost completely wiped out and the Blood Flame Sect was uprooted. This time, the Blood Flame Sect had completely disappeared from the Northern Kingdom!

The news of a female Martial Saint appearing in the Northern Kingdom had already spread throughout the world. Those restless forces had all hidden themselves again. Before they were completely confident, no one dared to test their luck.

The Northern Kingdom brought about a rare period of peace, and the two princes returned to the Imperial City.

The Third Prince’s fief was in the Wilderness and was ordered by His Majesty to go to his fief. Thus, the Third Prince, who had pretended to be sick for a few years, unwillingly and helplessly went to the Wilderness.

When he arrived, he found out that the Crown Prince Li Yuanqing who was crippled a few years ago was still locked in that valley.

The enemy of his enemy was his friend. The Third Prince felt that the common enemy of him and Li Yuanqing should be the Crown Prince of today. Therefore, he made a trip to the valley to recruit Li Yuanqing to fight with him.

The Third Prince had caused quite a stir when he came. He felt that he was the king of this place and could not lose his status in front of his elder brother. Most importantly, his elder brother used to be high and mighty. Now, he was a prisoner while he was the king of this place.

By the time the Third Prince arrived at the entrance of the Wilderness Valley, the two sides of the road were already filled with his attendants. The ground was also covered with a red cloth, and he was carried into the valley by dozens of people.

“Tsk tsk tsk, my big brother, the conditions here are too tough. You’ve suffered!”

The Third Prince surveyed his surroundings and purposely clicked his tongue while shaking his head. Although there were not many buildings in the valley, it was very clean. Furthermore, regardless of whether it was trees or lakes, it appeared very grand.

Li Yuanqing was drinking tea under a tree. When he saw the Third Prince, he merely glanced at him and ignored him. The Third Prince had been peeping at that spot, but he was too weak to see through it. It was a joke.

The Third Prince saw that his eldest brother, who was a prisoner, was dressed in white. He sat there like an immortal, his bearing unparalleled. He did not look as miserable as he had imagined. He looked more like the king of the Wilderness than he did.

The Third Prince felt a little uncomfortable. However, when he looked up, his gaze landed on Hu Jiujiu’s face. His eyes immediately widened. He felt that there was no woman more beautiful than her in the entire Heaven and Earth!

The Third Prince was stunned for a moment as he looked at Li Yuanqing who had been drinking tea. He suddenly felt like he was the prisoner in this valley while his brother Li Yuanqing looked like a king no matter how he looked at it.

How could this be?

He had originally wanted to show off, but that feeling vanished in an instant. When he left, he stared blankly at Hu Jiujiu, gritted his teeth, and gestured for someone to snatch Hu Jiujiu away and bring her back to his palace.

He was the true king of the Wildlands. This was his territory, and all the beautiful women here were his!

Li Yuanqing used to be the Crown Prince and his big brother, so he did not dare to compete with him. But it was different now. So what if Li Yuanqing had an unparalleled aura? How dare a powerless and useless Crown Prince snatch his woman?

Li Yuanqing received the news as well when Hu Jiujiu was robbed. But he just shook his head. This third brother of his was really courting death. He even dared to snatch Hu Jiujiu. Such a brother was really useless. He was too lousy!

Li Yuanqing merely reminded the Third Prince that he had to bear the consequences of his own choice. “Beauty is poisonous. Let go!”

Unfortunately, the Third Prince took that as jealousy. To him, it was a pleasure to be able to snatch Li Yuanqing’s woman, even if she was his servant!
