Chapter 1251: There Is No Problem With The Person My Lord Trusts

"No need no need, this is a good job, I will do it." Saying that, she picked up her chopsticks again.

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze didn't say anything else and ate quietly with her. After the meal, he ordered the servants to clear away the dishes on the table and then instructed: "From today onwards, you will follow by my side!"

"Ah?" She stared at him in amazement: "But I don't know how to do anything."

"You just have to follow Your Liege and listen to my orders. If you don't know how to do something, naturally I won't ask you to do it." Saying that, he stood up: "And you will move into Your Liege's main courtyard. There is a spare room over there. From today onwards, you will handle all of my personal matters."

As she stared at him dumbfounded and blinked her eyes, he kept a straight face and said in a calm voice: "Do your jobs well, if you do well, you will be rewarded, if you don't, you will be punished!"

"What are you still doing here? Why aren't you going?"

"Oh, okay." She replied, still in a daze. She stood up and walked out. As she was walking, she thought about it and felt that something was not right.

At the same time, on the other side, Gray Wolf and Shadow One finally found Yang Yong who was in the front courtyard instructing a servant to do his chores.

"Old Yang, what is that manservant's background?" Gray Wolf asked, he had walked up and patted his shoulder.

"What's the matter?" Yang Yong smiled: "Has he offended you?"

"No, he didn't, but it's weird! Not sure what's gotten in My Lord today, but he actually said he wanted someone to test his food. You know that his food is absolutely safe to eat but today he asked me to find a manservant to test his food. I found a few manservants but My Lord didn't want any of them. As soon as Shadow One went to get the new manservant Little Plum who works in the inner courtyard, My Lord kept him."

When he spoke of that, Gray Wolf said with displeasure: "My Lord actually let him sit down to eat, we don't even get the same treatment."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yong chuckled: "We don't have to second guess whatever My Lord does, he has his own reasons."

"No, who exactly is that kid? Where did you find him?"

"He is the distant nephew of the steward in charge of the outer courtyard. I found him honest and reliable so I arranged for him to go inside. Rest assured! There will be no problem."

"What do you mean by no problem? I can tell that My Lord's attitude to him is different. Although the kid is handsome and honest looking but at first glance I feel that he is crafty, definitely not simple. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get to My Lord's side after only entering the residence after a few days."

After he had finished speaking he became startled and slapped his thigh: "I know! This kid must be a spy who has infiltrated here! No, I must tell My Lord immediately!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Shadow One grabbed him and glanced at him: "Didn't you hear Yang Yong say that there is no problem with this kid? If there was something wrong would he transfer him inside?"

"But....."

"No buts, since he said there is no problem then there must be no problem, right Yang Yong?" Shadow One looked at him and asked.

Yang Yong smiled gently and nodded at that: "Yes, you can rest assured, there's really no problem. Moreover, you must trust My Lord. My Lord has his own reasons for doing things, anyone he trusts, naturally so can we."

It seems that My Lord had recognised the Ghost Doctor. However, he was curious how My Lord had recognised her. He had seen the portrait of the Ghost Doctor before, it was as different as heaven and earth to what Little Plum looked like now.

Chapter 1252: So It Was Her

After hearing that, Shadow one didn't ask anything further. That sly fox, if he didn't want to reveal anything, it didn't matter what they asked, he wouldn't tell them. It was obvious he knew the background of this person but didn't intend to tell them so they could only find out by themselves.

However, although there was something amiss with this person, he wasn't dangerous. Otherwise, Yang Yong wouldn't have transferred anyone who would be a threat to My Lord to the inner courtyard.

On the other side, Feng Jiu had gone back to the servant quarters in the outer courtyard to pack her things when she realised that she didn't have anything much to pack!

Just two sets of servants' uniforms and some toiletries, that was it.

She packed up those things then sat cross-legged on the floor with one hand supporting her chin as she thought of something. Had Xuanyuan Mo Ze seen through her disguise? If he had then surely he would recognise her? He wouldn't be talking about punishment otherwise, so maybe he didn't recognise her but really just thought she was pleasing to the eye?

Pleasing to the eye?

She found it strange, she took a mirror out from space and looked into it. At most she looked like a handsome young man, the streets were filled with them.

"Da Niu? Da Niu?"

The voice from outside brought her out of her thoughts. She placed the mirror back into space then took her things and got off the bed and went outside.

"Uncle? Why are you here?" It was the old man.

"Uncle heard that since you have been transferred into the inner courtyard you are now serving My Lord personally, is that true?" The old man said excitedly. When he saw the things in her hand he couldn't help but reveal a big smile on his face.

"Promising, very promising indeed! You've only been here for a few days and you've caught My Lord's eye. You have to work hard and not let down My Lord's trust in you."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will do my best." She smiled and nodded.

"Good, then you should get going! When Uncle heard that you had come back to pack your things and will be staying in the inner courtyard in the future, I had to come and take a look." The old man was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

"Okay, then I shall go now. My Lord told me to wait on him personally, I don't want him to be looking for me but can't find me." She put the clothes bundle on her shoulder then walked towards the inner courtyard under the old man's admiring gaze.

"Hey, you stand there."

Before she was able to enter the inner courtyard she was stopped. She turned back and saw Gray Wolf and Shadow One walking towards her. She greeted with a smile: "Chief Guard, Shadow Guard."

"Where are you going with your clothes bundle?" Gray Wolf asked as he stared at the thin boy in front of him.

When she heard this, Feng Jiu grinned: "My Lord wants me to wait on him personally and manage his personal affairs. He also told me to move into the spare room in the main courtyard. That's why I've come back to pack my things!"

Upon hearing this Gray Wolf glared: "My Lord wants you to wait on him personally? And he wants you to stay in the main courtyard?" Did the sun rise from the west side? That was just too strange.

When Shadow One heard this, his heart twinged. His eyes were fixed on the skinny boy, the boy didn't look outstanding at all. However, having followed My Lord for so many years, there was only one person who was able to make My Lord do all these strange things.

As he looked at the person in front of him, secretly in his heart, he had already known the answer.

Yes, besides her, who else was able to make My Lord act this way? And only because it was her that Yang Yong felt at ease placing her by My Lord's side.

He hadn't thought of the Ghost Doctor at first, nor could he guess the identity of the person stood in front of him, but judging by My Lord's actions and then Yang Yong's, he was able to determine the identity of the person in front of him.

Chapter 1253: You Finally Recognised Me?

"If there's nothing else I shall go inside first." She said, then bowed respectfully and headed inside.

"Hey, you....." Gray Wolf was about to say something when Shadow One stopped him.

"What's the matter with you? You should at least let me question him in more detail!"

He glared at Shadow One beside him and said: "Don't you think the My Lord is being very strange? We don't even know where this kid came from. He's only been in the residence for a few days and been moved to the main courtyard by My Lord? And he is going to wait on My Lord personally? There's definitely something wrong."

"I already know that there is no problem, and the only problem is you." Shadow One said and strode inside casually. After a few steps, he stopped and turned back and glanced at a confused Gray Wolf and reminded him: "You better not provoke him. As long as we know that he is not a spy or assassin, that's enough. Otherwise you will have nowhere run to cry later on."

"Ha! You're kidding, I would lose to a manservant?" He snorted dismissively.

Shadow One shook his head and walked away.

It wasn't just Gray Wolf who was confused about this manservant who had only entered the residence a few days ago but been transferred to My Lord's side, even the guards and Dark Guards and all the servants weren't able to figure it out. He was obviously an extremely ordinary boy, so what had caught My Lord's eye?

Though they were puzzled in their hearts, they daren't ask but just took more notice of the manservant called Little Plum on a daily basis.

On this morning, a yawning Feng Jiu was carrying a basin of water for face washing into Xuanyuan Mo Ze's room. The night before he had instructed that because he was due to go into the palace, she had to go and wait on him earlier in the morning.

Therefore, although she was still tired, she crawled out of bed and washed her face to wake herself up then brought him his basin of water for washing his face.

"My Lord?"

She placed the basin on the table then walked inside. The bed curtain was drawn and she could just about see a person on the bed sleeping under a quilt.

She stepped forward lightly and opened the bed curtains. Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out and grabbed her and pulled her whole body inside.

"Ah!"

She shrieked as she fell onto the bed on top of Xuanyuan Mo Ze. Her stunned gaze met his deep and dark pupils. The pair of dark pupils was like a deep pool, she couldn't see through it and she felt like she was drawn completely into them.

On the big bed were two bodies one on top another with only a quilt between them. One of Xuanyuan Mo Ze's hands held on to her hands while the other hand wrapped around her waist and pressed her down to prevent her from leaving.

As the two pairs of eyes stared at each other, a shadowy breath permeated through the air...

"Hey, you finally recognised me?"

She smiled shyly. If she had any doubts before, she was certain with the situation now. She knew this domineering and cold man wouldn't pull a stranger into his bed.

She thought back, in the past she had been taken advantage by him quite a lot!

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze's lips curled into a smile, his magnetic voice was low with a hint of morning laziness as he spoke: "Are you doing a surprise check? Why didn't you say hello when you came here? I could have sent someone to pick you up."

He looked at the luscious lips in front of him as he hugged her. His throat rumbled slightly and he felt only a burst of heat that rose from his abdomen and rushed through his body.

Well, men were quite easily impulsive in the mornings, not to mention there was a person that made him happy that lay on top of him.

Chapter 1254: I Will Take You Into The Palace

"I wasn't planning on coming here so soon, besides, I was still thinking of not seeing you for ten years!" She smiled: "However, it just so happens that there are some matters that I need to deal with here, so I came in advance. I was going to secretly see if you are leading a philanderous lifestyle, but who knew, I was discovered by your steward only after being here for a few days."

"Speaking of which, Yang Yong is really not bad, much more reliable that Gray Wolf." She couldn't help but praise.

When Xuanyuan Mo Ze heard this, he felt jealousy in his heart and he asked: "Yang Yong is not bad? What is good about him? Is he good looking? Or his capabilities are outstanding?"

All of it, he is quite a good looking person. His character is calm and restrained, he is also cultured and elegant like a noble gentleman. The manner in which he handles matters is vigilant and also very good. I heard that he is from a rich family, it is quite unexpected that he would come to your residence to be a steward."

She looked at the person underneath her and smiled lightly as she spoke: "I really couldn't tell, but your method of obtaining people is first-rate. Youactually managed to get such a person to become your steward."

"Are you praising me? Or are you praising him?" He retorted sourly.

"Praising him, hahaha."

Feng Jiu smiled. She saw him sneer and said loudly: "TIckle!" The hand that was around her waist twisted, though it was not heavy it made her goosebumps raise and felt tickled.

"Ah..."

She exhaled and pushed herself up against his chest then leaped up and quickly retreated from the bed. She shouted: "I thought you had to go into the palace? Get up quickly."

Xuanyuan Mo Ze lay in bed for a while longer. He took a deep breath and exhaled gently. He suppressed the excitement in his body before he got out of bed. He looked at the space three steps away from his bed and couldn't help but smile: "Why are you standing there? Why aren't you helping me wash up?"

"I've already brought the water for you, there, I've put it over there." She gestured with a smile and said: "I will find some clothes for you! Which set of clothes would you like to wear?"

As she spoke, she opened his closet and saw that everything was black. The corners of her mouth lifted and she asked: "All black?" She thought about it and realised that she had never seen him wear any other colour. Also, black colour best reflected his domineering body.

"Just grab any set, they're almost the same." Xuanyuan Mo Ze said and walked to one side to wash up. Not long later, he walked back to the front of his bed and put on the set of black robes she had taken out.

"You should go and change your clothes too, I will take you into the Palace to take a look."

"Go into the palace?" She was slightly stunned: "Maybe not? Won't I cause problems for you if I go into the palace? I will wait for you in the residence. Rest assured, I won't go anywhere." She smiled as she spoke.

When he heard that, Xuanyuan Mo Ze also revealed a smile. He enjoyed her caring service as she helped him wear his belt and said: "Isn't this your first time here? I will take you into the palace for a walk. Xuanyuan Dynasty's palace is much larger than yours."

As he looked at her dressed in the manservant's uniform, he said: "Change back to women's clothing! No one will dare do anything to you here. Since you are here, I will take you to see my Imperial Father."

"No."

She shook her head: "I don't want to change back to women's clothing.It's too ostentatious. I have promised my father I will not wear women's clothing in general. As for your father, I will meet him next time!"

Chapter 1255: Why Is It In Your Hands

Upon seeing this, he nodded: "Okay then! Since that's the case, you shall wait in the residence until I return. We will have lunch together." He handed her a jade token.

"Keep hold of this, you can mobilize anyone in the residence."

"You're giving me another token? I have so many tokens I haven't even used them all." She had quite a lot of tokens in space, there were ones from all the different forces. Now that he was giving her another one, she didn't really want to take it.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze hooked his lips and placed the jade token in her hand: "This is the residence's jade token, to see the token is like seeing me."

She looked at the jade token and her eyes turned. She asked with a smile: "I can do anything with this jade token?"

When he heard this, he frowned slightly: "What do you want to do?"

"Gray Wolf told me to clean the toilets two days ago."

"Humph! He's got some nerve, he actually dared to tell you to clean the toilets? You want to teach him a lesson? Just take the jade token and order people to do it." He adjusted his collar and said: "With this jade token, you can walk around the residence freely."

"Okay. Then I shall get someone to prepare your horse carriage. While you are waiting, have your breakfast before you leave." She said with a smile and nodded. She walked out and ordered someone to prepare a horse-drawn carriage and sent someone else to bring the breakfast to be placed in the courtyard.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze walked out and sat down by the table in the courtyard. He motioned for her to sit down to eat with him.

When the secret guards in the courtyard saw this, they couldn't help but secretly look at the figure.

"My Lord." Shadow One and Gray Wolf came into the courtyard and saluted respectfully.

When he saw the figure sat beside My Lord, his expression remained normal. However, Gray Wolf glared at the figure with anger. Why could this kid sit and eat with My Lord, he wanted to beat him up just looking at him!

After eating some food, Xuanyuan Mo Ze put down his chopsticks and said to Feng Jiu: "Take your time to eat! I will leave first."

As soon as his voice fell, he said to the two people beside them: "Shadow One you shall accompany My Liege into the palace, Gray Wolf you shall stay here."

"Yes." Shadow One responded and followed behind him after he rose from his seat and went out.

When Gray Wolf saw My Lord had left and that kid was still sat at the table eating, he couldn't help but walk up to the table and slam his hand down on the table: "Kid! Didn't you see My Lord has left? You're still sitting here eating? Are you the master or is My Lord the master?"

Not sure what was wrong with My Lord, why had he allowed this kid to continue eating? Was he not afraid that this kid would push his luck and want more?

After Feng Jiu had finished eating the last bun, she put down her chopsticks and said: "Chief Guard, My Lord told me earlier that he wants you to brush the commode, you have to brush a hundred, or else....."

"Who are you trying to fool? My Lord wants me to brush the commode? My Lord had already punished me a few days ago. I didn't do anything wrong these couple of days so why would My Lord say something like this? What's more, if that's the case then it should come from My Lord and not from you kid....."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a jade token swaying from the kid's hand. What he had wanted to say faltered away. He glared and asked: "You stole My Lord's jade token?"

Feng Jiu rolled her eyes: "What sort of a person is My Lord? Would I be able to steal his things? He gave me this and said if you don't believe me then I can take this jade token out."

"This, this, how is this possible?"

His face wore a stunned expression: "Do you know, this jade token, this jade token is, is....." It could be used to mobilize anyone in the residence, why did My Lord give such an important jade token to him?

Chapter 1256: Scarlet Water Country's Third Princess

Feng Jiu looked at him with a small smile and waved the jade token in her hand: "Don't worry about how I got it, you should hurry up and go and brush the commodes!"

Gray Wolf who was still dumbstruck recovered from his shock: "It's you? You have been targeting me haven't you?" He remembered that he had told him to brush the commode a few days ago but he didn't do it in the end.

"Chief Guard, you are overthinking things. I am just a manservant, where would I have such ability? My Lord gave me the instructions before he left. I'm not sure what happened either." Her expression was innocent, refusing to admit it.

"It really isn't you?" He thought about it. It was impossible that My Lord would punish him over this new manservant. But he didn't do anything wrong recently either?

"Well, it's not me." She said blatantly.

"Then let's discuss it, can you..."

"No."

She had refused before he was even able to finish speaking: "You better hurry up and go brush the commodes! Otherwise you will be in trouble when My Lord returns." She stood up and said: "I need to go and water the flowers, I shall take my leave first."

As he looked at the figure leaving the courtyard, he frowned and scratched his head. He asked the secret guards in the concealed place: "Did My Lord really say that?"

Nobody said anything. He glared involuntarily at a spot and said: "I'm asking you! Are you a mute?"

The secret guard in that spot had no choice but to reply: "Gray Wolf, just do as he said. There is no mistake, he has the jade token."

When he heard this, Gray Wolf let out a sigh and walked out of the courtyard. He thought to himself, maybe he could find someone else to clean the commodes before My Lord returned? However, he gave up on that idea as soon as he had thought of it.

It was probably better he did the job himself!

On the other side, in the palace, in the main hall.

A middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes who exuded a powerful coercion and superiority was sitting on the throne. He was looking down at the figure standing below, dressed in black and exuding a cold and noble air. He said in a deep voice: "The Crown Prince and Third Princess from the Scarlet Water Country will be visiting these few days. You will be responsible for receiving them."

The deep and majestic voice continued speaking: "Scarlet Water Country wants to form an alliance with us. The Third Princess is a first-class beauty in Scarlet Water Country and is also a very talented person. You must make use of this opportunity, if the two countries can be joined in marriage, it will be very good for us."

Xuanyuan Mo Ze frowned: "Why does our Xuanyuan Dynasty need to expand our country through marriage? We should expand in area and strength. I will entertain the Crown Prince from Scarlet Water Country when he arrives. However, if the Third Princess intends to marry then she can forget about it."

"You haven't even met her yet and you are dismissing the idea?" The Emperor said in a deep voice as he stared at his son: "I know that you like a woman from one of the low grade countries. But you should know that as a Crown Prince of one of the Eight Great Empires, the woman who is able to stand by your side must be someone extraordinary. Even ten women from an inferior country cannot compare to your status."

When he saw that he had not said anything, he continued: "If you really like her then you can keep her by your side to warm your bed. In the future, as a monarch of a nation, you will have thousands to choose from in your harem. It's not a big deal to accept a woman."

Upon hearing this, he looked up at his father on the throne. He didn't say much, he just said: "If Father Emperor has no other matters to discuss then I shall take my leave first."

As soon as his voice fell, before the Emperor even had a chance to speak, he turned around brushing his sleeves up and walked out. In a moment, he had disappeared from the sight of the Emperor on the throne.

Chapter 1257: Stay Strong Enough

Give me some more time, one day I will be so strong that no one would dare despise me, strong enough to stand by your side and look down upon the world as we ride on carriages out of the palace. Xuanyuan Mo Ze's expression was dark and grim, the change of breath in his body enveloped the entire carriage with a suppressed breath.

He leaned against the side and closed his eyes, slowly adjusting his breath. After a while, he opened his eyes again, and this time, the breath on his body had eased up.

The Crown Prince and Third Princess of Scarlett Water Country are coming? And his Father's intentions are to join in marriage with Scarlett Water Country? If the woman in his residence was to find out about this matter, he would probably be choked to death by her.

He was thinking about it all the way, til he arrived at the main gate and got out of the carriage then walked straight towards the main courtyard. When he had arrived at the main courtyard and asked around, he found out that she had gone to the kitchen.

"Get him back here."

After he spoke, Shadow One who was beside him responded and left the courtyard to look for her. Inside, he wondered, if the Ghost Doctor had found out about this matter, what would she do? Also, this matter was too much of a coincidence, if it didn't happen earlier or later, but just when the Ghost Doctor was at the residence.

When he thought about the Crown Prince and Third Princess of the Scarlet Water Country arriving at the residence, he felt that the days ahead would surely be chaotic.

Feng Jiu was indeed in the kitchen. She had come to chat to the kitchen ladies because she was idle, and also getting something to eat at the same time. While she was chatting, she heard Shadow One's voice.

"Little Plum, My Lord wants you to go back."

When she looked back, she saw Shadow One was walking over from not too far away. After she heard his words, she asked: "He's back?" As she spoke, she had already stood up and started walking outside.

Upon seeing this, Shadow One followed behind. He realised that he had not seen Gray Wolf since he had returned and couldn't help but felt curious, so he planned to go look for him later.

When she got to the main courtyard, she saw that Xuanyuan Mo Ze wasn't in the courtyard but in his bedroom. Hence, she went inside. Shadow One had only followed her to the main courtyard and glanced at the closed bedroom door once before he turned to leave.

"What's wrong?"

When Feng Jiu entered the bedroom, she saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze sitting at the table with a dark face. She came to his side and poured him a glass of water.

Xuanyuan Mozo looked at her and replied: "There may be guests in the residence over the next few days."

"You're upset because there will be guests? Are they acquaintances?" She raised her eyebrows teasingly.

"Scarlet Water Country from one of the Eight Great Empires, they are closest to our Xuanyuan Dynasty geographically. The people who will be coming this time are their Crown Prince and Third Princess. My Imperial Father has ordered that I will have to entertain the two of them."

If anyone in Xuanyuan Dynasty was able to suppress him, then that person would no doubt be his Emperor Father. It would be him. He didn't know what strength he had reached, he only knew that he was strong, and much stronger than him.

"Then entertain them well! Or..." She glanced at him and smiled: "Are you afraid it would be uncomfortable with me here? Don't worry, I am not such a petty person."

Upon hearing those words, he put his arms around her and pulled her down to sit with him: "My Imperial Father has the intention of joining in marriage with Scarlet Water Country. Don't you worry, I will never agree to it. I have always made my own decisions and solved my own problems. Even if that person is my Father, he will not be my Master."

Feng Jiu's eyes moved slightly and she said: "I believe you, as long as I am strong enough, no one will dare and no one will be able to stop us from being together."

Chapter 1258: A Waste Of Talent

"That's right, in this world only the strongest can be king, everything is about strength." As he spoke, he looked at her in his arms: "And I believe that your future achievements will be even more extraordinary than mine."

When she heard this, Feng Jiu smiled lightly: "You have so much confidence in me?"

"You are the woman I like, if I don't have confidence in you then who should I be confident in?" He chuckled. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head against her shoulders, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Tell me what happened after you brought those few lads into Hells Mountains."

"You know about that? Looks like Ren Xiang's intelligence reports are quite good." She chuckled and said: "So you know I advanced while I was at the Two Star Academy? I don't know what happened but I messed up their sacred land, so..."

In the room, Feng Jiu recounted everything that had happened over there, things that he didn't know about, till evening. After they had finished their evening meal, Xuanyuan Mo Ze took her out of the residence for some sightseeing and they didn't return till the middle of the night.

Because Xuanyuan Mo Ze took her everywhere with him, they ate together and shared the same bed, though the guards and secret guards hadn't said anything, but they were already getting curious about them.

After a few days of cleaning toilets, Gray Wolf had returned. When he entered the courtyard and saw My Lord serving that kid food, his jaw nearly dropped from shock. He retreated quickly and went to look for Shadow One.

"I was just going to My Lord's when I saw My Lord serving that kid food. Shadow One, is something wrong with My Lord?"

"Don't make a fuss over nothing, don't look at what you shouldn't look at. Even if you've seen it, use your eyes and not your mouth." Shadow One said, his arms wrapped across his chest as he stood not far away from the main courtyard.

"But...."

"No buts, if you're too idle then go and pull out some weeds, don't follow me all the time."

Gray Wolf snorted when he heard that: "Who's following you? I've only come to ask you a question, don't think that I like to be with you all the time." Saying that, he saw Yang Yong walking towards them from not too far away and wondered out loud.

"Why is this guy here?"

"What are the two of you doing here?" Yang Yong walked over and asked.

"The two of us are idle people, unlike you, a busy person whom we haven't seen in a few days. What brings you here today? Are you looking for My Lord for something?" Gray Wolf approached and asked.

"I'm not here for any specific matter, but I have something to report." He smiled gently and looked towards the main courtyard. When he saw the two people inside having their meal, he didn't go inside to disturb them but went over to under the tree and chatted with them instead.

"I heard that My Lord has been spending every day with this kid." Gray Wolf pouted: "He's just a little white face, I'm not sure what drug My Lord has taken that he is so good to this kid."

When he heard this, Yang Yong froze for a moment, then chuckled lowly: "Gray Wolf, you should go and train the guards." His brain was mainly good for training the guards in the residence. He was also fine carrying out orders. If he had to use his brain to think then it would definitely become a mess.

"Although I am the Chief Guard and all the guards are under my command, training guards is a waste of my talents."

When Shadow One and Yang Yong heard this, they couldn't help but smile, this fool.

"That's right, asking you to clean toilets is not a waste of your talents." Yang Yong couldn't help but said jokingly.

"Ah? You know about that? " Gray Wolf glared: "It's all that kid's fault. He took My Lord's jade token and said it was My Lord's orders."

Chapter 1259: Prepare To Welcome The Guests

Finally, the two of them couldn't resist and laughed out loud.

As the sounds of laughter spread out, the two people in the courtyard who had finished their meal were walking out together. When Feng Jiu, who was walking beside Xuanyuan Mo Ze saw Yang Yong, she greeted him with a smile. "Steward."

When Xuanyuan Mo Ze saw this, he thought back to two days ago when she had praised Yang Yong for his good looks and gentle personality just like that of a noble family's son. Now that he saw her wide smile when she saw Yang Yong, his expression couldn't help but turn dark and he stared at Yang Yong with ill intent.

"Why are you here? Is there nothing to do in the outer courtyard?"

When he heard My Lord's angry words, Yang Yong replied with a smile: "My Lord, I am here to inform you that the people from Scarlet Water Country have arrived at the palace. Presumably the Emperor will be sending for you shortly."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze frowned: "It's just the Crown Prince and Third Princess from Scarlet Water Country, does Your Liege have to go to receive them personally? You and Gray Wolf can go to the palace to pick them up."

Yang Yong nodded with a smile and said: "Yes." He looked at Gray Wolf and gestured. The two of them then left together.

"Is it okay to let the two of them go?" Feng Jiu asked. After all, one of them was a Crown Prince and the other a Princess.

"You don't know, although the Eight Great Empires are divided into branches, but our Xuanyuan Dynasty is the strongest. Not only that, Your Liege is also the prestige of the Eight Great Empires and the Crown Princes of the other countries cannot compare to me. By allowing them to stay in my residence is already a great honour to them."

After listening to what Xuanyuan Mo Ze had said, Feng Jiu was a little surprised but also a little relieved. That was because he had always kept a low profile when he travelled, so to her recollection, she had never seen him with a showy manner before.

However, with regards to his strength, she never had any doubts. Even though she had rescued him in the Nine Entrapment Woods, it was only because he had an attack from the frost poison he was inflicted with.

This time she had come, she saw that his physical condition had recovered very quickly and the frost poison was resolved. His strength was also no longer suppressed. This version of him was a rare adversary.

"Shadow One, get the someone to prepare for their arrival, they will stay at the North Courtyard." Xuanyuan Mo Ze ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Shadow One responded and stepped away.

"Then do you need me to do anything?" she asked.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze turned his head slightly and looked at her beside him, his beautiful lips arched upwards and revealed a soft smile: "You only need to be with me."

In the palace

The Country Ruler looked at the men Xuanyuan Mo Ze had sent, Yang Yong and Gray Wolf, and his face turned dark and gloomy: "He sent the two of you to receive the Crown Prince and Third Princess of Scarlet Water Country?"

"Country Ruler, My Lord said that our Xuanyuan Dyanasty is a big country, ranking first above other countries so there is no need for him to receive the Crown Prince and Third Princess of Scarlet Water country personally. Therefore he has ordered the two of us to take them back to the residence after they have paid their respects to you."

After hearing these words, the Country Ruler's darkened face eased a bit. He looked at Yang Yong: "You are the second son of the Yang Family?"

"Yes I am." He replied respectfully, his tone of voice humble.

"Well, go on! Wait outside the gate of the East Palace." He waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to retreat.

"Yes." Yang Yong responded then went out with Gray Wolf.

After the two of them left, the Country Ruler stared blankly for a little bit, then recomposed himself and ordered for the royal entourage to leave for the East Palace. He then headed outside......

Chapter 1260: Where Is Your Lord?

As they headed towards the East Palace, Gray Wolf couldn't help but said admiringly to Yang Yong: "Old Yang, you are a really good steward! You were neither humble nor pushy when you spoke to the Country Ruler, when I saw him I could hardly breathe."

Yang Yong smiled warmly: "It's nothing. We just need to remember that My Lord is called Xuanyuan Mo Ze. We don't have to worry about who we need to show respect to or don't, so we don't have to fear anyone."

"No wonder My Lord lets you deal with everything. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it." When My Lord had left in the past, he would put Yang Yong in charge of the whole residence and nothing would happen. If it had been him, he wouldn't have had the ability.

"Everyone has their own strengths, I can't compare to your strengths either."

When he heard this, he asked excitedly: "Oh? Is there something you can't compare with me? What is it?"

When he heard this, Yang Yong's lips twitched and he glanced at him: "Rushing forward bravely, I can't do that."

"Oh? Well, I suppose you tend to think things matter over. I'm not like you, I make a move when I don't agree with something." He nodded, seemingly proud.

Yang Yong smiled warmly but didn't say anything. After they had arrived outside the East Palace, they waited for about two hours before they saw two people come out from inside. A glint of light flashed across his warm gaze as he looked over the two people up and down discreetly.

The man was about twenty five years old or older and was fully clothed in purple robes with a jade that hung from his waist belt. He was handsome and his complexion was a bit pale, his whole body gave off a feminine feel instead.

As for the woman beside him, she was dressed in gorgeous robes and both her hands were placed in front of her. Her pace was smooth and elegant, her beauty exuded noble air. The red flame mark between her eyebrows added to her unique styles. Her eyes were flirtatious and charming, it was unforgettable at first sight.

They were indeed worthy of being two people whom the Scarlet Water Country of the Eight Great Empires valued most. The excellence of these two people were beyond expectations.

Putting aside his thoughts, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Subject is Yang Yong, greetings to Crown Prince and Third Princess of Scarlet Water Country."

"Yang Yong?" Scarlet Water Country's Crown Prince's eyes widened as her gaze swept across him.

"Yes, I am under orders from My Lord to bring you back to the residence."

"Your Lord is Xuanyuan Mo Ze?"

"That's right."

"Lead the way." He waved his hand and gestured.

"Please." He bent slightly and gestured with his hand then brought them back to the residence with Gray Wolf.

When the Crown Prince and Third Princess of Scarlet Water Country arrived at Xuanyuan Dynasty, they brought a team of mighty men with them. Therefore, when this team of men arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, their formidable strength had attracted everybody's attention.

However, other than a few trusted followers, the others were unable to enter the residence. Therefore, after they had arrived at the gate of the residence, the Crown Prince had ordered the men with him to make arrangements for the accompanying guards while he and his younger sister entered the residence with their ten trusted followers.

Yang Yong had personally brought them to the North Courtyard to get settled in, the entire North Courtyard was at their disposal. Afterwards, he said to the two people: "If you find anything lacking, you can send someone to look for me and I will make the arrangements for both of you."

"Mmm." The Scarlet Water Country Crown Prince responded and looked around. After eyeing up the place, he asked: "Is Your Lord home? His guest has already arrived. Does he intend to avoid seeing us?"

Chapter 1261: Very outstanding

"Your Highness the Crown Prince must be exhausted after a long trip. Please have a rest today. Tomorrow, my my Lord will be in the mansion to hold a welcoming banquet for you two. You'll naturally meet my my Lord at that time."

Yang Yong rose slightly. "I will retire first."

Seeing Yang Yong turn around and leave, the Third Princess, who had not spoken from the beginning, said, "Big Brother, Crown Prince Xuanyuan has many talented subordinates. Such a person is actually just one of his stewards."

"You may not know that Yang Yong is the second son of an influential family in the Xuanyuan Empire. However, he followed Xuanyuan Mo Ze since he was a child. His ability and means are excellent, and he is loyal and trusted by Xuanyuan Mo Ze."

"Crown Prince Xuanyuan is known as the head of all Crown Princes in the Eight Supreme Empires. Is that man really so outstanding? How does he compare with Big Brother?" The woman asked with a trace of curiosity.

In her heart, her Big Brother was the most outstanding person. Unexpectedly, she heard that the Xuanyuan Empire's Crown Prince was listed as the head among all Crown Princes of the Eight Supreme Empires. Even the rulers of the Eight Supreme Empires didn't dare to despise this man.

This time, her Imperial Father also told her that he wanted to form an alliance with the Xuanyuan Empire in marriage and this person belonged only to her. On this trip, she not only followed her brother to visit but also to see Crown Prince Xuanyuan Mo Ze, who was commended and respected by everyone.

Was that person really that outstanding? Could he be worthy of her?

Scarlet Water Country Crown Prince's expression changed slightly when he heard that and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes. "I also want to meet this Crown Prince Xuanyuan, to see if he's really that outstanding!"

In a different location, after arranging the two people in the North Courtyard, Yang Yong entered the main courtyard. He came to the table and called out, "My Lord."

"Mm, is everything set up?" Xuanyuan Mo Ze was playing chess with Feng Jiu, so his gaze was glued at the chessboard and didn't even raise his head.

"Yes, it's all arranged. They want to see my Lord. I told them that tomorrow my Lord will hold a banquet for them in the mansion and will meet them tomorrow." He briefed him on the arrangements.

"What's your impression of these two?" Xuanyuan Mo Ze played the next move, then looked up and inquired Yang Yong.

Yang Yong glanced at Feng Jiu and replied after a pause. "Outstanding. Excellent beyond my expectation."

Seeing that he looked at her before answering, Feng Jiu couldn't help smiling. She didn't say anything.

But Gray Wolf was a little confused. "Old Yang, just say it. Why did you have to look at Little Plum? It has nothing to do with him, does it?"

Shadow One beside him sighed inwardly, thinking, how could this fool not see that person sitting here was not Little Plum, but Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu?

Xuanyuan Mo Ze also glanced at him but did not say anything. He told Yang Yong, "Mm, have someone set it up! I'll see them tomorrow."

"Yes." Yang Yong replied and withdrew.

"You two withdraw, too." Xuan Yuan Mo Ze made a gesture for Gray Wolf and Shadow One to retreat.

"Yes."

Shadow One answered. Only Gray Wolf kept standing there while staring at the sitting boy, and then asked, "My Lord, do you want to let Little Plum go out, too? This kid doesn't do anything for you all day. I think it's better for him to sweep the floor, water the plants and pull the weeds than to hang around here."

Shadow One hurriedly left and didn't dare stay any longer.

When Feng Jiu heard this, she couldn't help but chuckle...

Chapter 1262: Meeting the Third Princess

Xuanyuan Mo Ze heard this and glanced at him coldly.

But, Gray Wolf didn't see it because he heard the boy laughing. Feeling resentful, he stared at Feng Jiu. "Kid, what are you laughing at? Say! What are you laughing at? "

When she saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze about to open his mouth, Feng Jiu stood up and made a gesture for him not to move. So, she told Gray Wolf with a smile, "No, Chief Guard, you're right, so I'll let you have a seat. Come, sit here."

She pulled him to the place where she had just sat down. It was exactly facing Xuanyuan Mo Ze. She smiled. "You are here to chat with my Lord. I will go to sweep the floor, water the flowers, and then pull out the grass."

"No, you..."

He couldn't sit still, because his Lord sitting on the opposite side was staring at him coldly. Even if he didn't speak, the pressure he emitted made Gray Wolf tremble with fear. He was fidgety on his seat and wanted to escape. However, the young man still insisted that he sat down.

"It's alright. Just stay here and chat with my Lord. I think you must have a lot to say to him. Just sit here! I'll water the flowers first." She held back a smile and went out.

"No, don't go, ah!" He was afraid now. Sitting opposite his Lord and chat with him? He couldn't do this stressful job! He wanted to stand up and leave, but then he heard his Lord's voice.

"Where are you going? Not sitting anymore?" Xuanyuan Mo Ze gave him a chilly look.

"Hehe, my Lord, I, I want to sweep the floor to water flowers and pull weeds. Let's let Little Plum come back to accompany you to chat, have tea and play chess." He smiled sheepishly and looked at his Lord with a tense expression.

"Didn't you say he was just lazing around?"

"Hahaha, did I? Not everyone can accompany my Lord to pass the time. I'll go and get her back now. " With that, he quickly got up and went out.

"Hmph."

Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked at his departing figure and snorted severely. This idiot, people around him had seen Feng Jiu's identity. He's a fool. It's in vain that he used to have a lot of contact with Feng Jiu. She floated about in front of him all day and he still couldn't recognize her.

On the other side, Feng Jiu walked around after getting out of the courtyard. She took out a piece of fruit from the space and ate it while taking a walk. When she passed by the rockery, she heard a voice.

"That servant boy over there, come here."

She followed the voice and saw a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress standing in the garden on the other side of the rockery. In the Pavilion behind, there was a feminine-looking man in a purple robe. When she saw them, she guessed their identities. She didn't want to talk to her, but she could only come over when someone called and called out for her.

So, after eating the fruit in her hand, she walked around the rockery and saluted. "Third Princess is calling this little one?" She asked, smiling with her eyes narrowed, while quietly looking at the beautiful woman in front of her.

Seeing this woman, she understood why Yang Yong said she was very outstanding.

It's because she was truly excellent. Whether it was her temperament or appearance or cultivation, everything was first-class. What's more, at the age of about 17 or 18 years old, she was as beautiful as a flower. Standing here, she was superior to all the flowers that blossomed in an array of colours. It was obvious to all that her beauty was remarkable.

Chapter 1263: A bold and obstinate slave

Come to think of it, how could a princess of the Scarlet Water Empire, one of the Eight Supreme Empires, be ordinary?

"You know me?" The Scarlet Water Princess was surprised and took a look at the boy.

"Yes, all of us at the mansion know that the Scarlet Water Empire's Crown Prince and the Third Princess have visited our mansion."

Hearing this, she nodded and asked, "Is your Lord at home?"

Feng Jiu grinned. "He seems to be home as well as not home."

The beautiful princess knitted her brows slightly. "At home as well as not at home?"

"This means the little one didn't see my Lord go out, yet he didn't see my Lord at home either. So, I don't know if my Lord is home or not."

"Which side is the main courtyard where your Lord lives?" The Scarlet Water Country's Princess asked again.

"Third Princess, our steward said to prepare a banquet tomorrow where my Lord will give you a welcoming feast. Tomorrow you will see my Lord." She spoke with a smile without giving her a clear answer.

The Scarlet Water Crown Prince, who was sitting in the pavilion, glanced at the figure and told the Third Princess. "What's the difficulty in meeting Xuanyuan Mo Ze? I have plenty of ways to get him out by himself." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

Amazed, the Scarlet Water Third Princess looked back at her elder brother and asked, "Big Brother, what do you mean by that?"

A way to let Xuanyuan Mo Ze come out by himself? When they came to this mansion, Xuanyuan Mo Ze should have come out to see them. He obviously didn't take them seriously, seeing from his act of disappearing after settling them down like this.

Feng Jiu looked at the figure coming towards her and couldn't help raise her eyebrows. She wondered, what did the Crown Prince want to do? While she was still pondering over it, she heard a loud shout accompanied by an oppressive pressure directed towards her.

"Bold and obstinate slave! So arrogant that no one else matters, unbridled!"

His fierce shout came with strong pressure. Feng Jiu was still standing motionless. She only scratched her head, glanced left and right, and looked at the Scarlet Water Crown Prince with doubt.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, who are you talking about?"

The Scarlet Water Empire's Crown Prince and the Third Princess immediately turned stiff. They looked at the servant boy who stood there like a wooden stake. They saw that he was not at all affected by the pressure from the Crown Prince and could still stand there absolutely still with a face full of doubt.

"Kneel down for me!"

The Crown Prince roared again with a gloomy face. A pressure visible to the naked eye enveloped the servant boy in front of him.

Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and stepped back. "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Third Princess, if there is nothing else, then I will withdraw first."

Seeing that the servant boy retreated as if he didn't feel it, the Scarlet Water Crown Prince's eyes flashed. He fiercely reached out to attack the retreating boy. "Want to leave? Did I give you permission? " His voice was filled with killing intent as his hand flew toward the retreating Feng Jiu's neck as if moved by anger, trying to wring her neck.

"Hiss! Stop it!"

Gray Wolf, looking for Feng Jiu, saw that scene and his face turned white with fear. This Little Plum was very precious to his Lord! If he were killed by the Scarlet Water Crown Prince, it would be a big deal.

He shouted for them to stop while sweeping forward at the same time. But, due to some distance and the Crown Prince ignored his warning shout, Gray Wolf saw the Crown Prince's hand was about to pinch Little Plum's slender and fragile neck. He was scared witless.

But in the next moment, all his fear had turned into astonishment and shock...

Chapter 1264: Dodge

Because he saw the young man dodging Scarlet Water Crown Prince's move with ease. Although her feet only moved a step, its exquisiteness made him feel incredible. Faintly, it was as if he saw someone's figure in them.

"I didn't expect that there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Crown Prince Xuanyuan's mansion. Even a servant boy has such skills." Scarlet Water Crown Prince slightly narrowed his eyes as sinister light flashed by his eyes, staring at the retreating servant boy. He was shocked inwardly.

Even a servant boy had such skills. How many hidden strong men were there in this mansion that he couldn't detect?

"Crown Prince flatters me. I'm just doing odd jobs here."

She put on a fake smile, staring at two people for a while and told them in a meaningful way. "Crown Prince, don't be too impulsive. After all, you're a guest. And one thing is, my Lord is very protective. He won't take for granted easily who's missing or scarce in this mansion."

After saying this, she curled her lips and sneered. With a glance at them, she saw their thoughts clearly.

"Scarlet Water Crown Prince, even if the people in our mansion have done something wrong, we should also discipline ourselves. I hope there won't be another case of a sudden attack like today." Gray Wolf opened his mouth. After a pause, he looked at them and said, "I will report what happened here today to my Lord."

It was only after uttering these words that he told Feng Jiu, "Let's go!"

After all, he was a guest here. The Scarlet Water Crown Prince looked at the two departing people but he did not stop or attack them. His eyes were gloomy and his heart felt unpleasant.

"Big Brother, let's go back first." The Third Princess came forward and urged him.

The Crown Prince responded with a nod and cast a glance at the two men who had already gone far, then went to the North Courtyard. Seeing this, the Third Princess hurriedly followed to the courtyard...

On the other side, Gray Wolf took the boy far away, until they came to a tree. He stopped, looked at the person beside him with some doubt, and tentatively called out, "Ghost Doctor?"

"Feng Jiu?" He called again. It's because the boy's dodging motion was very familiar, similar to Ghost Doctor's move. He waited for the response.

Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled. "You finally recognize me! It really isn't easy eh!"

"Ah? It's really you!"

Since she admitted it, Gray Wolf was startled. "Why are you here? Did you come alone? I can't believe you got into the house recklessly. Did those guys Yang Yong and Shadow One know earlier? They're not very kind to always keep me in the dark!"

He was a little indignant. "That Scarlet Water Crown Prince actually wanted to attack you. How did you get into trouble with them? They are also too arrogant, dare to do so in our mansion. I think they are angry that his Lord did not go to see them. "

Feng Jiu smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't provoke them. They provoked me."

"It's too much. I'll let my Lord teach them a lesson."

He said scornfully. "By the way, my Lord is in the courtyard. Go back first! I'll be there later."

"Mm." She answered and went in the direction of the main courtyard.

At this time, she did not know that the scene at the garden was already reported in detail to Xuanyuan Mo Ze by a dark guard. When he heard those words, Xuanyuan Mo Ze's expression darkened...

Chapter 1265: The climate doesn't suit him

"Let Yang Yong go over and tell them that if they dare to touch the people in the mansion again, they should scram immediately to where they came from!" His voice was mixed with anger. It was not for other reasons but that Scarlet Water Crown Prince wanted to attack Feng Jiu. He couldn't put up with this.

"Yes." The dark guard answered respectfully and then left.

Feng Jiu stepped in from outside this time and saw the man's darkened expression. She was stunned. He became aware of it so soon? There were dark guards everywhere in this mansion, it would be strange if he didn't know what happened here.

"Not in a good mood? "She asked, smiling, and went to sit at a table in the courtyard.

"That Scarlet Water Crown Prince's cultivation isn't low. You should be more careful when you see him in the future." He said, reaching for her hand. "I don't want to see you hurt."

"Don't worry, I'll be alright. But, that Crown Prince is in a bit of trouble." She chuckled, her eyes gleaming with a cunning and uncanny light.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze was surprised. "What did you do?"

"It's nothing. Knowing that he is a guest in your mansion, you can't have anything bad happen to him. I have a sense of propriety." She smiled with her eyes narrowed. "Let's see it tomorrow! You'll know tomorrow. "

Who was she? Dared to attack her? If she wanted to deal with a person, all she had to do was move her finger and she could make it impossible for people to find out.

Seeing her confident speech and bright smiling face, he did not ask any more questions. After all, he would have to see those two people tomorrow anyway. He had to act properly as a host.

Starting that night, Scarlet Water Crown Prince had to make a trip to the toilet every hour. It was pouring down like a waterfall and didn't stop even after taking medicine. Until the next morning, the Crown Prince had collapsed from exhaustion and was helped back to his room by his guard to have a rest.

In one night, his face was haggard. He looked like he was had a breakdown.

In the middle of the night, Yang Yong, who got the news, asked the physicians in the mansion to take a look. They came to the conclusion that his digestive system wasn't well. Although he was prescribed medicine, it couldn't stop. Moreover, he had to run to the toilet as soon as he ate food.

Early morning.

"Big Brother, are you any better?" The Third Princess asked, standing outside the door with worry.

It was unlikely that someone tampered with the meal because both of them ate the same food. Moreover, she felt that Xuanyuan Mo Ze could not have done such a thing.

However, her elder brother, the Crown Prince, had trouble with his stomach at this very moment, and from last night until now, he could hardly speak.

"You can go to the reception banquet today. I'm afraid I can't go..."

In the midst of the speech, the room door suddenly opened and a figure stepped out toward the toilet.

The Third Princess was stunned and glanced at the figure heading for the toilet and wrung her eyebrows slightly. How could he be the only one like this? There were also physicians in their entourage. She also inquired and found no other problems, but from what the physicians said, there was something wrong with his digestive system.

This lasted until noon. When the Third Princess saw that he didn't dare to eat anything and was resting on his bed hungry, she turned around and left.

Today, she would be able to see Crown Prince Xuanyuan. She was proud of her beauty. She believed that as soon as the Crown Prince saw her, he would also be fascinated by her.

Chapter 1266: Huangfu Yingxue

Yang Yong came to have a look and asked about the Scarlet Water Crown Prince. Knowing that he could not attend, Yang Yong led the way for the Third Princess and took her to the front courtyard.

In addition to her two servant girls, Third Princes also brought two cultivators in grey clothes. They came to the front courtyard together and took seats in the front hall as arranged by Yang Yong.

"Third Princess, please wait a moment. I'll invite my Lord." He rose slightly and walked out.

After a while, when she got a little impatient, she saw a figure in black coming steadily towards her side. The man had his back against the light, so she could not see his face clearly. However, that person's powerful aura impressed her. His momentum alone had surpassed her imperial elder brother. It was no wonder that this person would be listed as the head among all crowns princes of the Eight Supreme Empires.

"Third Princess, this is our Lord." Yang Yong introduced him and then stepped aside.

The Third Princess saw clearly the person who had come to her seat. With just a glimpse, her heart palpitated violently. She was nervous, expectant, joyful and tense all in one swoop. She fell into the enemy's hands with just one look.

She saw a handsome and resolute-looking man. His suave feature was well-defined as if it was moulded by god. With his pair of deep black eyes that seemed to suck one into a bottomless abyss was imposing and domineering. His lips below his tall nose were slightly pursed, all of which attracted her gaze.

In particular, he wore a black robe embroidered with dark cloud patterns and a jade belt around his waist. He exuded a fierce and reserved regal bearing, coupled with a temperament which was not inferior to her Imperial Father's. Her heart was stirred.

It was no wonder that this man was listed as the top amongst the Crown Princes of the Eight Supreme Empires. His excellence was superior to everyone else. No matter what it was, he was incomparable to others. In the past, she thought that her elder Imperial Brother was already a very outstanding person, but today, as soon as she saw him, Xuanyuan Mo Ze, she knew that this was the definition of a real man!

She wondered how there was such an excellent man in the world. All the best that heaven had to offer was on him. Majestically domineering, incomparably magnificent, dazzling as the stars in the highest heavens. People couldn't help lay prostrate at his feet to worship him.

Feng Jiu, who came in after him, saw that the Third Princess was staring at Xuanyuan Mo Ze with an infatuated face. She curled her lips and glanced at the man who was sitting there expressionlessly.

Sure enough, this man's face brought calamity to women. Why was this big man so good-looking? This woman was mesmerized by the sight.

After a long while, seeing the starry-eyed princess had not yet recovered, she coughed and said loudly, "Third Princess, this is my Lord."

Several people in the hall were taken by surprise.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked up slightly and glanced at her. A smile crossed his deep black eyes. Yang Yong's face was originally wreathed with a gentle and polite smile. When he heard this, the smile on his face deepened.

Being unexpectedly called out like this, the Third Princess was frightened. Her delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly regained her mind. After settling down, she took a look at the servant boy walking towards Xuanyuan Mo Ze and recognized that he was the person from yesterday.

Her eyebrows were knitted slightly. She didn't say anything but returned to her usual elegant and charming posture. She stepped forward, slightly bent her knee to salute, and greeted with a gentle and coquettish voice, "Yingxue has seen Crown Prince Xuanyuan."

Chapter 1267: An amusing side

"Have a seat!" Xuanyuan Mo Ze gestured then said nothing more.

The Third Princess' name was Yingxue, which was not only respect for the princess, but also the name of the first beauty in Scarlet Water Empire. Now, seeing Xuanyuan Mo Ze only spared her a faint glance of indifference, without a trace of emotion or amazement, she only lowered her gaze and stepped forward.

However, her drooping head exposed her beautiful features. She walked forward elegantly as her skirt sashayed gently with each step she took. She was as beautiful and charming like a fairy. Seeing her, Feng Jiu couldn't help but praise her. This woman was indeed as gorgeous as an immortal.

She found it funny when she saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze sat expressionlessly without even taking a look at the princess. Was he afraid to look at the beauty? She didn't forbid him to look!

Her eyes flickered as she stepped forward to the table and picked up the jug to pour them some wine.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze took another look at her, when his gaze fell on her, there was either a smile or a look of adoration in his deep black eyes.

This time, even Princess Yingxue, who already sat down, noticed. She could not help but stare sideways at the servant boy who poured wine on Xuanyuan Mo Ze's side. There was nothing outstanding or special about the servant boy.

But yesterday, when her Imperial Brother wanted to use this servant boy to lure Xuanyuan Mo Ze out, the boy's performance was beyond their expectation. There was no fluctuation of spirit energy on his body, but why knew he was an expert! Otherwise, how could he dodge her brother's attempt to lock his throat?

It's just that Crown Prince Xuanyuan put a beauty like her in front without even looking, yet went to see a pretty servant boy? Was she perhaps not as good as a servant boy?

Yang Yong, who was waiting at the side, looked at the scene formed by the three and couldn't help feeling amused. Previously, he only heard about his Lord and Ghost Doctor from Gray Wolf and Shadow One, saying that his Lord had done a lot of things that made them amazed at the Ghost Doctor. He thought they had exaggerated it. After all, his Lord in his impression had always been noble and unfeeling. He really wanted to imagine, how could such a person please a woman?

However, from the scene in front, he knew that he must have missed a lot of interesting things when he wasn't by his Lord's side.

"I heard that the Scarlet Water Crown Prince is unwell? Is he better now? " Xuanyuan Mo Ze turned to look at Princess Yingyue who sat opposite him.

"Maybe the climate doesn't suit him, but he's better already. We're making Your Highness worried." She whispered. Her eyes were sparkling as she gazed at the masculine man across.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze nodded and spoke in a gentlemanly manner, "I was supposed to visit, but I'm busy with some matters. I'm unable to act as a host properly. If Princess is bored staying in the mansion, you can ask Steward Yang to take you for a stroll in the Imperial City."

Hearing this, Yang Yong lowered his head and hid the smile in his eyes.

Feng Jiu was holding the wine pot at Xuanyuan Mo Ze's side, looking skywards.

While Princess Yingxue listened, the smile on her face turned a little stiff. Asking a steward to take her out to go sightseeing. What about his Lordr? Could he push her away with just one sentence of busy with official business? Was it true that she couldn't catch his fancy, he had no interest in accompanying her sightseeing?

For a moment, there was anger as well as reluctance in her heart, but there was no slightest sign of it on her face. She only restrained her gaze and slightly twisted her skirt with both hands.

Chapter 1268: Homme fatale

"The two countries of Scarlet Water and Xuanyuan wish to establish alliance through marriage. Don't you know this, Crown Prince?" She looked up and asked with a gentle and charming voice, as melodious as the burble of flowing water.

On one side, Feng Jiu's eyes moved toward the Princess.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze picked up his cup and took a sip of wine. His deep and magnetic voice came out unhurriedly. "Has Princess set her heart on my Xuanyuan Empire's prince?"

Hearing this, Princess Yingxue's smile bloomed in an instant like a delicate flower. It was very captivating. "I know that in the Xuanyuan Empire, in addition to the Crown Prince, there are several other Imperial Princes. However, if Yingxue is to be bound in a marriage alliance, Yingxue will only marry you."

Was she confessing on the spot?

Feng Jiu looked at Princess Yingxue strangely. The Princess was so daring to declare this on the spot, she's really shrewd! Any other man would probably have passed out with excitement at this, but the one she had her eye on was not easily swept off his feet.

So, she wanted to tell her: Princess Yingxue, I'm sorry that you're too late, this person has already been reserved by me.

"This Prince isn't interested in you."

Xuanyuan Mo Ze spoke ruthlessly in his deep voice. There was not even a trace of tenderness. As soon as he opened his mouth, he divulged his intention straightforwardly, ignoring Princess Yingxue's complexion that immediately turned pale.

"Since Scarlet Water Crown Prince is not feeling well, Princess should go back and take care of him first. If he really doesn't get any better, I can send you back to your country first, so as not to delay the Crown Prince's treatment. "

Listening to his impolite words, Princess Yingxue looked up and fixed her gaze on him. "Is this how Your Highness is supposed to act as a host? Is this the way the Xuanyuan Empire treats its guests?"

"No, Princess misunderstood. This is the hospitality in my mansion. For Princess and Scarlet Water Crown Prince, I've been generous enough."

He paused and looked at her coldly. "If others dare to attack my people in this mansion, I will certainly order them to be cut down and killed on the spot!"

With a low and imposing voice that carried a chilling aura, he was telling her that if they were not the Scarlet Water Empire's Crown Prince and Princess, he wouldn't let them off easily like yesterday.

Being stared at by his pair of deep black eyes, Yingxue's heart trembled. She could see clearly the ruthlessness in his eyes and she also understood that he was not talking casually, but really meant it!

She was frightened at this moment. Xuanyuan Mo Ze once again gave her a shock that she had never experienced before.

It would have been impossible for other people to say such a thing, no matter how much they had to be considerate of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. By saying so, he was clearly telling them that he dared do what others did not dare. What others took seriously, he would not!

After a good while, she stood up and bowed slightly. "Yingxue withdraws first."

She turned around and went out. As she stepped out of the doorsill, she paused and looked back at the seated man. "One day, I will make you marry me willingly." As soon as she finished speaking, she moved away.

Feng Jiu curled her lips and looked askance at the man who was looking her way. "Homme fatale[1]."

Xuan Yuan Mo Ze chuckled. "Even if it is a disaster, I will only harm you."

Chapter 1269: Jealousy

On the other side, Yang Yong took a look at the two, smiled, and retreated silently.

Feng Jiu sat at the table, propped his chin in one hand and stared at him. Suddenly, she had an uncanny smile. "I'll tell you something!"

He raised his brows slightly. "What's the matter?"

"in the few years you've been away, I've been walking around dressed as a man. I've also fascinated many outstanding boys and girls. People threw fruits at me to express their love when I was walking down the street."

With a smile, he nodded."Mm, I believe that."

"And you know Mo Chen, right? He said that he was the disciple of Old Man Tianji and that he would wait for me here."

After saying this, he saw the man with a smile in his eyes turned gloomy. He knitted his attractive eyebrows tightly and pursed his thin lips. He spoke in a grave and sour tone, "What is he waiting for you for? That man just has a pretty little face. If you want something refreshing, don't think that he is harmless when he looks like an immortal. Such a person is even more dangerous. You should know an adage: knowing people doesn't mean knowing his heart. This adage talks about a person like him "

"Oh? Really? But I think he's fine. He's also not close to women."

Hearing her speech, he hurriedly declared his position. "I'm also not close to any women, only to you."

"Not close to women?"

She said with a strained smile. "But, I remember that you still have a Beauty Pavilion in the Hell Palace? There are pure ones, enchanting ones, plump ones and petite ones, all kinds of flowers with their own characteristics. And once, you asked two women to come over? "

"The women of the Beauty Pavilion have their use. You know that, too. Didn't you go there? You should know I didn't do anything wrong. It wasn't me, it was Gray Wolf."

He directly pushed the matter to Gray Wolf. Watching her snorting coldly with arms folded across her chest, he started to talk in a hurry. "There is a restaurant in the city with exquisite and delicious dishes. Should I take you to taste it?"

She smiled and asked, "You're not taking the first beauty who confessed her love to you, Princess Yingxue?"

"If she wants to go out, Yang Yong will take her with him. I'll only have you by my side."

She felt relieved to hear this. "Alright! I'll accompany you."

Xuanyuan Mo Ze shook his head with a smile. After standing up, he took her hand and went out. Their good mood was not destroyed by the appearance of Princess Yingxue. Even if Feng Jiu spoke jealous words, her heart burst with joy.

Leaving the mansion, the two sat in a carriage followed by Shadow One. The three of them went towards the restaurant in the city...

In the north courtyard, Princess Yingxue listened to a report from a man in grey and learned that Xuanyuan Mo Ze unexpectedly went out with the servant boy. She frowned. "Who is this servant boy? How could he fancy a boy like that?"

"Reportedly, he is a distant nephew of the mansion's outer courtyard's steward and his name is Li Daniu." The man in grey answered.

"Li Daniu, a distant nephew of the outer courtyard's steward?" She sneered. "That young man is nothing special to look at, but he has extraordinary skills. How can he be Li Daniu?"

The man in grey bowed his head and said nothing. As this wasn't their place, it wasn't very convenient to find things. It was even more difficult to investigate a person in this Xuanyuan mansion.

Chapter 1270: His tenderness is only for her

At the restaurant

The shopkeeper saw that the person who came in was His Highness the Crown Prince and hurriedly went to salute him. "This insignificant one has seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xuanyuan Mo Ze waved and did not speak, just glancing around.

Shadow One came forward and ordered, "Prepare a private room for His Highness."

"This..." The shopkeeper was embarrassed.

"What's the matter? You don't have a private room available?" Shadow One asked.

"Today, all the private rooms are occupied. But, it's all right. This insignificant one will go up and discuss with them to make room for Your Highness. Please sit in a booth on the second floor first."

He invited him upstairs and went personally, intending to talk it over with the men in the private room. After all, it was His Highness the Crown Prince whose prestige was far-reaching. It's just a matter of one sentence for him to ask for a private room. He believed that the men in the private room would concede once they knew that it was His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Since there are people in the private room, it's fine. Let's find a window seat on the second floor." Xuanyuan Mo Ze told Feng Jiu. "The sight from the window seat on the second floor is better. You can see the busy scene on the street."

"Mm, let's just take that then." Feng Jiu nodded.

The shopkeeper looked at the boy dressed like a servant. When he heard them say that a window seat would be fine, he hastened forward to show them the way. "Your Highness, take this table! It has the best view."

When the shopkeeper saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze sitting down and the servant boy actually took a seat in front of His Highness, his eyelids jumped. Seeing guard in black standing behind His Highness, he asked with a smile, "Your Highness, Young Master, what would you like to eat?"

Having seen all kinds of people, if he did not know at this moment that the servant boy was not actually a servant boy, he would have lived in vain. Looking at the whole Xuanyuan Empire, there were probably not many who would dare to sit and eat with His Highness the Crown Prince, right?

"Give me all your signature dishes as well as one portion of the golden crispy roll."

"Alright, I'll get it ready right away." The shopkeeper responded and stepped away quickly.

All kinds of delicacies and gourmet dishes were placed on the table. Their savoury fragrance spread everywhere. Even before tasting it, Feng Jiu couldn't help drooling with just a whiff."They look very delicious."

He chuckled and picked up some of the dishes with his chopsticks. "Eat while it's still piping hot! Take more if you like, you're too thin."

"Where am I thin? I still look the same, not thin."

"Not thin? But, why do I see you so thin? " His eyes were fixed on her flat chest, with a trace of teasing on his handsome and resolute face.

Feng Jiu looked up and spat indignant words out at his pointed gaze. "What are you looking at? Why don't you eat the food?"

Xuanyuan Mo Ze curved his lips joyfully. When he saw her eating like a greedy cat, he put more food on her plate while saying, "Eat slowly, we have plenty of time."

People at the other tables on the second floor couldn't help but stare. They thought that there was something wrong with their eyes, so they rubbed their eyes and took another look. They saw His Highness the Crown Prince placing food affectionately for a servant boy. They thought to themselves, Who was this servant boy?

Some were guessing. Reportedly, the crown prince was not close to women. So, he.. he likes men? Their expressions turned strange at this thought. It's not easy to stare at their table, but those people still couldn't help but peep from the corner of their eyes.

Chapter 1271: Declaration

Not long afterwards, a kitchen staff followed a man who was carrying a small table and they came to Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu's table: "Your Highness, this is the last dish, Golden Crispy Rolls." the manager said.

"Roast duck?" Feng Jiu was slightly startled as she looked at the golden roasted duck and the side dishes and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"This is the Three Colour Spirit Duck, it's the Signature Dish here. You can see that Spirit Duck only has a thin layer of meat under its skin. The skin is crispy and juicy, it's fat but not greasy, once in your mouth, the aroma is unique and flavourful." As Xuanyuan Mo Ze spoke, a smile appeared in his eyes because he saw the greedy look of the person sitting opposite him.

Feng Jiu stared at the knife in the chef's hand, with a few strokes, he had cut off all the skin from the duck and each piece of skin only had a thin layer of meat. She had wanted to say that she had eaten this dish in the past, but the taste would probably be different.

"Please enjoy." After he had placed the plate of sliced up Golden Crispy Rolls with the accompanying thick sauce on the table in front of them, he retreated.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze picked up a piece for her: "Try it."

"Well, you eat too! Don't stare at me eating all the time, you've not been eating much." She also picked up a piece for him.

"Okay." He responded, and ate with her. When he saw her eating happily, he felt content.

After the two of them had finished eating and drank some tea leisurely, they then left to go into the city for a walk. At the same time, in the Palace, the Country Ruler had already learned that Xuanyuan Mo Ze had not accompanied the Third Princess from Scarlet Water Country but instead had accompanied a manservant to go for a walk outside.

"Who is that manservant?" He asked in a deep voice as he stared at the secret guard below.

"He is apparently the distant nephew of the steward in charge of the outer courtyards. He had pleased His Highness only after entering the residence for a few days." The secret guard reported truthfully.

"Why would he accompany an irrelevant person to go out for a walk and eat and drink? Find out! Find out the background of that person!"

"Yes!" The secret guard responded and left quickly.

In the evening, Yang Yong who had returned to the residence came to the main courtyard.

"My Lord." He saluted at once, he glanced at Feng Jiu and nodded with a smile.

Feng Jiu acknowledged him and when she saw that they had something to discuss, she said: "I will go out for a walk, you two talk."

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked at Yang Yong and asked: "What's the matter?"

"A secret letter came from the Palace, it said the Country Ruler is furious."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze frowned slightly and waited for him to continue.

"When the Country Ruler heard that My Lord didn't accompany the Third Princess of Scarlet Water Country but instead went out for a walk with a manservant from the residence to eat and drink, he was extremely unhappy, I'm worried..." He was worried that as the Ghost Doctor's identity was unknown, the Country Ruler would make a move on her.

"Moreover, the Country Ruler has sent someone to summon My Lord to go to the Palace at once."

When he heard this, a glare of light flashed across Xuanyuan Mo Ze's deep dark pupils. "Well, have someone prepare the carriage. I also want to go into the Palace to make it clear to him lest he think that I will join in marriage with Scarlet Water."

Yang Yong hesitated and said: "My Lord, although the Ghost Doctor's identity is the Princess of Phoenix Dynasty, but a Six Grade Country is no comparison to an Eight Great Empire Country. The Country Ruler is also an extremely important person, I'm afraid he won't recognise the Ghost Doctor easily."

His eyes narrowed, his deep voice was majestic as he spoke: "Why should my woman need approval from anyone else?"

Upon hearing his domineering and overbearing words, he smiled: "Yes, I will go and arrange the horse carriage immediately."

Chapter 1272: It won"t kill them

In the palace, in the main hall.

The sharp eyes of the Country Ruler who was sitting on the throne were fixed on Xuanyuan Mo Ze standing below, in his powerful deep voice, he asked: "What did you just say? Say it one more time!" The coercion of his superiority surfaced and was accompanied by a powerful atmosphere that approached Xuanyuan Mo Ze.

"I said, I will make my own marriage arrangements." He repeated himself again, his voice firm and strong without any intention of giving in.

When he heard this, the Country Ruler was writhing in anger. However, he didn't explode in anger, instead he suppressed the anger inside and stared at the figure standing upright below. His son was excellent in every way, he believed that his future achievements would be above him, therefore, he knew that putting pressure on him was not going to work.

After he had alleviated the anger inside, he asked calmly: "You want to make your own marriage arrangements? Could it be that there is someone you like already? Which country is this Princess from? Or which noble family is she from? Or which clan of the Proud Children of Heaven?"

"This, I will inform Father Emperor in the future." He hadn't planned on telling him about Feng Jiu now. From when he knew that his father had intentions on arranging a marriage with Scarlet Water Country, he knew that he could not bring Feng Jiu to meet his father. Otherwise, once he knew of Feng Jiu's identity, he would kill her immediately.

Upon seeing this, the Country Ruler's eyes moved slightly and he waved his hand: "Fine, since you won't say, Father Emperor won't force you. I believe you can make your own decisions, and a woman who would catch your eye can't be that bad. But you must know that as Xuanyuan's Crown Prince, you are one above ten thousand people, your status is not comparable to others. A woman who can stand by your side has to be outstanding. Otherwise, not only will it lower respect for you, but also my Xuanyuan Empire."

"Your son understands." He responded and said: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Saying that, he turned and left.

"Wait."

He called to him and said: "I heard that there is a manservant in your residence that you're very fond of? You've even accompanied the manservant to go sightseeing and left the Crown Prince and Princess of Scarlett Water Country at the residence? Did this happen?"

"Imperial Father is well-informed." He glanced at him, his cold face expressionless as he said: "That person is not a manservant, he saved my life once. Since he is in the Imperial City, I accompanied him to walk around the city. As for the Crown Prince and Princess, I believe Imperial Father has already received news that they are not used to the food and water here and are currently ill. They've only just started feeling better today."

He was silent for a while before he spoke: "I have a hunting session in Ninefold Mountains Forest two days later. The Scarlet Water Country Crown Prince and Princess will be going as well. You will entertain them on behalf of your father and make sure they have a good time. Since the manservant is your life saviour, then bring him into the palace one day to introduce him to me."

"Okay." He responded. After saluting, he turned and left.

As he watched him leave, a glint of light flashed across the Country Ruler's eyes. With a swift move of his hand, two men dressed in black flashed out from the shadows: "Keep an eye on him. If the manservant goes to Ninefold Mountain Forest, test him out."

"Yes." The two men in black answered and retreated, gathering their condensed breath cleanly.

Once he had returned to the residence, Xuanyuan Mo Ze went to see Feng Jiu and they went to the North Courtyard together.

"How strong was your medicine?" He asked as he walked.

"They will be fine by today. Don't worry, it won't kill them." She smiled lightly as she replied.

Chapter 1273: Hunting

"I think you should make it stronger, and leave a strong impression on them." His low voice had a hint of smile as he held her by his side and said: "My Imperial Father said we will be going hunting two days later and I have to take the two of them sightseeing. I on the other hand think that if they can't get out of bed by that time, then this matter can be avoided."

"Hunting, I want to go too." She said excitedly: "After all, he is the Crown Prince of Scarlet Water Country, we can't make him stay in bed this whole time. This is fine, besides, my anger has subsided. If he dares to do anything to me again, I can teach him another lesson."

"The Crown Prince is a first level Nascent Soul cultivator, his cultivation level was cultivated from a pile of heaven and earth treasures. Your cultivation has also entered the Nascent Soul stage, however, the difference is you reached the level by yourself. If we compare fighting strength, I believe you won't lose to him."

After she heard this, she said: "After I came here, I noticed that there are quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators, some of them are actually shopkeepers in treasure shops. You know that kind of strength is only something our ancestors have on our side. Even a staff member at an inn is actually a Foundation Formation cultivator."

"Every place is the same, there are strong exponents and weak exponents. Over here, people who are too weak are unable to survive, even ordinary people here are Spirit Masters. Spirit Masters here are considered too low in strength who can't even compare to Foundation Formation cultivators. They can only do menial labour jobs."

As Xuanyuan Mo Ze spoke, he saw that they were approaching the North Courtyard. He stopped walking and looked at Feng Jiu: "My Imperial Father asked about you today. I only said you saved my life once and he wants me to take you into the palace one day."

As he spoke, he lifted a stray strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear: "Though he didn't say it, he was secretive, but I still felt his killing intention. Therefore, I don't plan to take you to him now."

When she heard this, she blinked. She smiled and said: "Don't worry! Since I have affirmed myself with you, I won't change my mind for any reason, even if you Imperial Father objects I will make sure he nods and gives his blessing one day."

She chuckled lightly and gestured: "We've arrived, let's go!"

"Hmm." He pursed his lips, his deep eyes moved away from her with a softness as he walked towards the North Courtyard.

When she saw that Xuanyuan Mo Ze had come to visit her Crown Prince elder brother, Princess Yingxue was a little surprised. However, after she had curtsied to him, she invited him to the bedroom suite at the back. Before she entered the bedroom suite, she looked at the manservant beside Xuanyuan Mo Ze and felt a little unhappy.

It's him again.

This young boy was obviously dressed in a manservant's clothes but there was not a hint of humbleness from him at all, nor did he know what respect was at all. If people didn't know otherwise they would have thought he was someone important! When he entered he didn't even salute and ignored her, a Princess, and followed behind Xuanyuan Crown Prince into the bedroom.

She remembered that her Crown Prince elder brother had fallen ill after making a move on this young boy and couldn't help but wondered, did her Crown Prince Elder brother's current situation have something to do with this young boy?

"Is Scarlet Water Crown Prince's health any better?" In the bedroom, Xuanyuan Mo Ze had walked over to the bed. He looked at the weak figure lying in bed and asked.

Scarlet Water Crown Prince answered in a weak voice: "Thank you Xuanyuan Crown Prince for your concern, I am feeling much better."

Chapter 1274: Willing To Part With Your Treasured Possession?

"That's good." Xuanyuan Mo Ze nodded as he looked at the pale-faced Scarlet Water Crown Prince on the bed: "Ninefold Mountain is the Royal Hunting Forest, I would like to invite the both of you to go hunting two days later. I wonder if the both of you are interested?"

Princess Yingxue was a little shocked and hesitated. Hunting? Will her Crown Prince elder brother be well enough to go hunting two days later? Although she was worried, she didn't dare openly refuse the offer, therefore, she looked at her elder brother who was lying on the bed.

"Since Xuanyuan Crown Prince has extended the invitation to us, naturally we will go together with you." Scarlet Water Crown Prince replied, still lying on the bed. He gestured to the guard by the bedside to help him sit up and leaned against the headboard. He looked at Feng Jiu dressed in a manservants uniform, who was standing beside Xuanyuan Mo Ze, and asked: "May I ask how you are related to the Crown Prince?"

Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at her and replied: "He is my personal attendant."

"I see, so he is your personal attendant. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to part with your treasured possession? I am willing to give you ten boxes of treasures in exchange for your manservant." His gaze was fixed on Feng Jiu, because he was sure that the reason he was lying here weak and barely able to speak, was all because of that manservant!

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze's face sank and the breath from his body was suppressed, like a lion who was about to get angry. His deep dark eyes stared coldly at the Scarlet Water Crown Prince, the pressure of his whole body was released and the weakened body of the Scarlet Water Crown Prince found it unbearable. Even the atmosphere in the room became suppressed and the air seemed to condense which made it difficult to breathe.

Because this powerful coercion permeated from the bedroom, Scarlet Water Royal Highness' two guards, middle aged men dressed in gray, rushed inside and came to the bedside and blocked the pale-faced Scarlet Water Crown Prince from the coercion, protecting the blood flow in his body.

"I suggest Scarlet Water Crown Prince thinks twice before he speaks next time." Xuanyuan Mo Ze stared at him coldly: "No one can covet the people around me."

Upon hearing this, the Scarlet Water Crown Prince's expression changed slightly. His words to sound him out had made him react this way. It was obvious that this person was not as simple as a manservant or personal attendant, because in his tone, he heard the strong and overbearing possessiveness of a man.

"Your Highness, my Imperial Brother didn't mean that." Princess Yingxue spoke in an attempt to calm the atmosphere: "It was just a joke."

However, the Scarlet Water Crown Prince smiled and said: "No, it's not a joke, I am really interested in this manservant. However, since Your Highness refuses to part with your treasure then that's fine. I heard that there are many talented people around Xuanyuan Crown Prince, I just didn't think I would be fortunate to meet one."

At the end of his sentence, his gaze landed firmly on Feng Jiu who was standing there quietly beside him. His words had hit a sensitive spot, that was why he was put in a difficult position.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze stood with his hand behind his back, his eyebrows furrowed slightly showing his displeasure because he saw this Scarlet Water Crown Prince staring at his woman. Even though Feng Jiu was disguised as a manservant, he still found another man's eyes staring at her unsightly.

"Since there is no major problem with Scarlet Water Crown Prince then I shall take my leave. Two days later I will wait for the both of you to go hunting at Ninefold Mountains." As soon as his voice fell, he stepped outside.

When she saw this, Feng Jiu followed him outside. Soon, they had left the North Courtyard and were headed towards the Main Courtyard.

"Crown Prince elder brother." In the North Courtyard, Princess Yingxue looked at him with worry in her eyes.

Chapter 1275: My Lord's Taste

"It's okay, it's just a game of hunting." He said as his deep eyes stared in the direction the two people had left.

In the evening, after dinner, the two of them were sitting opposite each other. Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked at Feng Jiu who was sitting opposite him, he scrutinised her manservant's outfit and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say that you will be staying here for a few months? Do you intend to wear that the whole time you're accompanying me? And you're not going to wash off the disguise on your face either?"

Feng Jiu supported her chin with both her hands and looked at him with a smile: "Then what do you want me to wear? Women's clothing? She was surprised when she saw the looming expectation in his eyes, and she said with a smile "You really want me to wear women's clothing?"

Being stared at and made fun of, Xuanyuan Moze's ears turned slightly red and the expression on his face was slightly uncomfortable. He widened his eyes slightly and coughed a little: "You look beautiful in women's clothing."

"So, that means I don't look nice in men's clothing?" Her smile was teasing as she looked at the man with red ears. That's right, how could she have forgotten that this was a stifling and proud man?

As he thought of her masculine appearance in men's clothing, he looked at her steadily and said: "In men's clothing you are handsome and evil, in women's clothing..."

"What about women's clothing?" Her head tilted sideways as she asked.

She saw only a pair of dark pupils on the face of the man opposite her shining brilliantly and he stared at her and replied: "In women's clothing, you're enchanting."

In a set of red robes, her beauty was indeed unparalleled and enchanting. Even he would not be able to help it but be moved and would not be able to look away. However, she seldom wore women's clothing. Her devilish enchanting demeanour in women's clothing was even rarer.

Whenever he thought of her intentional temptation at that time, it always stirred a movement in his body. In the past, he had rarely gotten emotional, even if he had, the passion was always suppressed by the Thousand Year Frost Poison in his body. However, ever since the Frost Poison had been dispelled, and he had practiced the most advanced methods, now that she was beside him, dazzling, it was a test for him.

When Feng Jiu looked at him, she couldn't help but found it secretly funny. A woman should be willing to dress herself up for a man who loved her. It stood to reason that now she was by his side, she shouldn't carry a face that was unfamiliar to him and dress in a manservant's outfit while she was with him.

In the beginning, she hadn't thought much about it and actually thought that it was okay. However, after hearing his words, and seeing the expectation in his face, she turned her eyes away slyly then took a sip of her tea and said with a smile: "But I like to wear men's clothing, so what shall I do?"

Upon hearing those words, he looked at her, his eyes fell from her smiling face to her bosom and frowned slightly, as if in distress: "It's not good for development to keep wearing men's clothing."

"Pffft! Hahahaha....."

Feng Jiu spat out her tea as she burst out laughing. She put down her cup of tea and continued laughing.

He felt a little uncomfortable at her laughter and glanced at her in embarrassment: "What's so funny? That's a fact." Her body was still growing and it was not good for development to bundle up her bosom all the time.

When the secret guards heard their nonsensical conversation, they couldn't help but grin uncontrollably, especially at My Lord, so he was this type of person.

They always thought that he was pure at heart! They didn't expect him to hoax the manservant to change back into women's clothing. But, the manservant was a woman? They really couldn't tell. My Lord's taste was really strange, he actually liked this kind of manservant...... woman?
