816 The Crown Prince

Seeing Feng Wu just standing there, Feng Tutu prompted her through gritted teeth.

The cub believed that she should get out of here while it had attracted the attention of the two Qilin Beasts. Feng Wu might have a chance!

But Feng Wu would never leave the cub behind.

Thump!

She stabbed the mother Qilin Beast from behind with her Flaming Sword!

But, to her frustration —

Qilin Beasts were too powerful for Feng Wu to handle, and she couldn’t breach their defenses. She spared no effort in that strike, but she couldn’t even make a cut in the mother beast’s skin!

The blade didn’t even make a dent in its scales!

And it bounced off with a metallic clank!

Feng Wu’s eyes were bloodshot red.

The mother beast couldn’t care less about Feng Wu at the moment, and it only waved a paw behind it.

Thump!

Feng Wu, who had snuck up on the mother beast from behind, was flung out right away!

Thump!

She smashed into a wall and her back made a loud thump!

The thick, hard wall cracked from the impact.

Pffft!

Feng Wu slid to the ground and was barely conscious. She spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

Little Phoenix almost couldn’t bring itself to see the state Feng Wu was in!

That stupid woman! Was she seriously thinking about killing a Qilin Beast? Didn’t she know that they were Spiritual Elders?

The beast was a whole stage more advanced than her. There was no way she could breach its defenses!

“Let’s go!” Little Phoenix’s body instantly grew in size. It then picked up Feng Wu and rushed toward the cave opening!

Feng Wu shook her head. “Feng Tutu… we can’t leave Feng Tutu behind…”

Little Phoenix was having a hard time keeping its balance with Feng Wu struggling in its claws.

Exasperated, Little Phoenix scolded Feng Wu. “You have this saying, ‘as long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood,’ right?! You need to cherish your life so that you can take revenge for the cub in the future!”

“No… no…” Feng Wu shook her head repeatedly!

She had never hated her lack of strength so much!

If she were a Spiritual Elder now, she wouldn’t have to watch Feng Tutu get throttled while she was helpless to do anything to help!

Tears rolled down her cheeks and Feng Wu clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms!

“I’m staying. You go.” Feng Wu pulled Little Phoenix downward and both fell to the ground with a thump.

Little Phoenix exploded!

“You stupid woman! Have you forgotten your mission?! Your beautiful master will never be able to wake up if you die here! And what about your mother, your brother, and all the other people?!”

Feng Wu smiled bitterly. “I’m not going to die.”

After that, she forced Little Phoenix back into the ring.

Then, she grabbed Feng Tutu!

Both Qilin Beasts went berserk!

They struck at Feng Wu in unison!

Two giant paws were aimed at Feng Wu’s head!

Feng Wu would be killed instantly if she got hit!

At that critical moment!

Feng Wu took out a jade ornament, aka the panic button!

She thought she would never use it, but she was wrong. She had no choice but to give up on the exam!

“I —”

That was the only word Feng Wu was able to utter.

All of a sudden!

A gust of wind burst into the cave, bringing snow with it. The temperature in the cave plummeted!

Feng Wu watched as the two formidable Qilin Beasts froze into two ice sculptures!

Then, their bodies…

Gradually…

Their bodies gradually shattered into little pieces that rolled around on the ground.

They had been turned into ice!

Feng Wu was astonished!

817 His Royal Highness

She couldn’t believe her eyes!

Those two Qilin Beasts were invincible to her!

She couldn’t even make a dent in their scales!

Then…

They were…

What was going on…

Feng Wu was going to turn around and check the cave opening, when a chunk of ice dropped and hit her on the head.

Thump!

Feng Wu’s head swam and she lost her balance.

Her vision dimmed, and she gradually slipped into the dark of unconsciousness.

When the wind stopped, a god-like figure landed at the cave opening.

The teenager was dressed in white and looked rather dashing.

He scanned the cave with his piercing gaze.

One could tell at first glance that the person was very confident in his capability.

It was none other than Jun Linyuan —

The most powerful teenager in the empire.

Crack —

The two Qilin Beasts had been doing as they pleased only moments ago, but they were defenseless in front of Jun Linyuan. Exactly how capable was he?!

The teenager rushed to Feng Wu’s side before she hit the ground, and he pulled her soft body into his arms.

Feng Wu was woken up by a strong light.

She opened her eyes and was dazzled by the bright sunlight.

“Sister, you’re awake!”

Feng Xun rushed over and took Feng Wu’s hand. He was over the moon!

“Feng Xun?” Sitting up, Feng Wu rubbed her eyes and stared at the teenager in disbelief. He shouldn’t be here.

“What are you doing here?” Feng Wu was bewildered.

“And he’s not the only one,” another teeanger chimed in with bright eyes.

“Xuan Yi? You’re here, too?” Feng Wu was even more confused. “Isn’t the terrain open to candidates only? Why are you people here?”

Feng Xun said grumpily, “Something big is happening here! Don’t you know?”

Feng Wu asked, “What thing?”

“Those two Qilin Beasts shouldn’t have been here in the first place, not to mention they snatched you.”

“And you came here because of that?” Feng Wu stared at Feng Xun. “I’m flattered.”

“Don’t be. You’re just lucky,” said Feng Xun. “We wouldn’t have come in if those two Qilin Beasts were the only ones that woke up. That Frosty Night Beast at the center of this terrain has also woken up.”

Something stirred inside Feng Wu!

That Frosty Night Beast had really woken up! She was thrilled.

Other people might not have guessed it, but she knew perfectly well that Yu Mingye was the only person who could have done it.

Feng Wu needed to get the Heart of Frost Essence from the Frosty Night Beast to use as the core of her Taiyi Formation. Hence, she had made a deal with Yu Mingye before they entered the snowfield. She would make sure he passed the physical tryout, while he would help her obtain that Heart of Frosty Essence.

Thus, Feng Wu grabbed Feng Xun’s sleeve anxiously. “What’s going on with that Frosty Night Beast?”

Feng Xun snorted. “I heard that someone provoked that beast and woke it up. Of all the candidates this year, Yu Mingye is the only one capable enough to do that.”

“Where’s Yu Mingye? How is he now?” Feng Wu asked hastily.

Feng Xun snorted. “How is he? He’s lucky to still be alive. As for what shape he’s in? Don’t expect too much.”

“Why?”

“Word on the street is that Imperial College has lost contact with him. I wonder if he’s still alive.” Feng Xun rubbed his chin.

Feng Wu blanched.

“That… can’t be. Yu Mingye is quite capable…” Feng Wu bit her lower lip.

818 Your Royal Highness, Please Don“t Be Mad 1

Feng Xun said grumpily, “I was just asking Boss Jun how confident he would be if he ran into that Frosty Night Beast. Do you know what Boss Jun said?”

“What?” Feng Wu grabbed Feng Xun’s sleeve with wide open eyes.

“Boss Jun said, if he ran into that Frosty Night Beast…”

Before Feng Xun could finish his sentence!

“Thump!”

A fruit hit him in the forehead.

Feng Xun flared up. Rubbing the spot on his forehead, he bellowed, “Who was that?! How dare you…”

Feng Wu darted him several warning looks in a row.

Feng Xun stared at Feng Wu. “Sister, why are your eyelids twitching?”

Feng Xun turned around as he spoke.

“Holy shit!” Feng Xun stared at the teenager behind him in disbelief!

“B- Boss Jun —”

He was almost scared to tears.

Jun Linyuan looked past him and his gaze landed on Feng Wu. He frowned and looked displeased.

Staring at Feng Wu, he drew closer.

Feng Wu cringed involuntarily.

The look in Jun Linyuan’s eyes was so frightening!

They looked like bottomless pits!

And his gaze was as sharp as a blade!

Feng Wu and her companions weren’t the only ones here. Quite a few candidates were sitting around them as well.

Everyone was on edge when they saw how Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu.

Especially Mu Yaoyao. She clenched her fists and her eyes popped out!

This wasn’t happening… How could His Royal Highness…

Even Gongsun Qing was jealous.

Not to mention the other girls!

Jun Linyuan’s hand changed direction before he touched Feng Wu’s cheek.

Thump!

He smacked Feng Wu on the forehead.

“Hm —” Holding her head with both hands, Feng Wu stared at Jun Linyuan accusingly with her limpid doe eyes. “What was that for?!”

“Are you an idiot?!” Jun Linyuan glared at Feng Wu. “Have you forgotten what you’re like? How could you enter Zone 1 when you have zero cultivation ability?! Do you want to die that badly?!”

“I… I don’t want to die…”

“Then what were you doing in Zone 1?!”

“I… I was snatched by those Qilin Beasts…”

“Why did they take you, of all people?”

“Because… I’m pretty?” Feng Wu’s eyes twinkled and she grinned at the crown prince.

Staring at that mischievous smile, Jun Linyuan drew in his breath.

The onlookers all watched their interaction in amazement.

The girls in particular were all overwhelmed with jealousy.

Since when was Feng Wu so familiar with His Royal Highness?

Were they making small talk now?

Was His Royal Highness…

“You idiot!” Jun Linyuan smacked Feng Wu on the forehead again.

“I…” Feng Wu looked at Jun Linyuan with teary eyes. “But that didn’t stop you from saving me!”

Feng Wu felt so aggrieved.

She had encountered one disaster after another since she got here.

After being teleported to Zone 2 straight away, she had had to fight three magical beasts all at once. Despite all the hardships she went through to kill all of them, she didn’t get to absorb any spiritual essence.

With much difficulty, she had managed to save Chaoge, but that Ice Fire Beast showed up and pursued her relentlessly.

When she finally provoked a fight between that Qilin Beast cub and the Ice Fire Beast, which killed each other, Blade had then hunted her down!

She then had to split the team up and use a Qilin Beast to kill them, only to be snatched by that Qilin Beast afterward…

819 Your Royal Highness, Please Don“t Be Mad 2

She couldn’t believe she had managed to survive all that.

When she was finally out of harm’s way, she had to endure Jun Linyuan, who was calling her “pig” and “idiot.”

Jun Linyuan went on yelling at her. “Do you have any idea how much trouble you alone brought the college? Everyone had to put down what they were doing to save you!

“Look at all those candidates behind you! They almost lost their chance this year because of you!” Jun Linyuan glared at Feng Wu.

Mu Yaoyao, Gongsun Qing, and the other girls sighed inwardly, relieved.

They were right…

Feng Wu liked His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness had no feelings for her whatsoever.

If he were in love with her, he would be treating all those cuts on her face already, not yelling at her.

It was so obvious that His Royal Highness was on their side…

At that thought, they felt much happier.

However, Xuan Yi darted a look at Jun Linyuan.

He gave the crown prince a knowing look. Feng Xun, on the other hand, found Jun Linyuan very strange.

This wasn’t right.

His Royal Highness was such an aloof person, but he had been talking way too much today. That just didn’t feel right.

However, Feng Xun couldn’t hold his tongue anymore when he saw how sorry Feng Wu looked at Jun Linyuan’s reprimand.

He stepped out and put himself between Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan. “Boss Jun, it was Xiao Wu’s fault, alright, but she just narrowly escaped death. Please forgive her…”

Jun Linyuan wouldn’t be so mad if Feng Xun didn’t step in.

For some unknown reason, the crown prince flared up at Feng Xun’s interjection.

He glowered at Feng Xun. “Out of my way!”

Shit!

Feng Xun’s stomach lurched.

Having grown up with Jun Linyuan, he knew the latter better than anyone else. The guy was really pissed!

“Boss Jun…”

Now that Boss Jun was really mad, Feng Xun wanted to protect Feng Wu even more.

Keeping his eyes on Jun Linyuan, Feng Xun warned Feng Wu in a whisper, “Run… Little Feng Wu, run!”

“What?”

“Boss Jun is going to kill you!”

Feng Wu was baffled. Seriously?

Although she had no idea what she had done wrong, she saw that Jun Linyuan was indeed glaring at her as if she had just killed his father!

That was crazy!

Feng Wu took one step back, then another… She then spun around and ran!

However…

She was only able to take a few steps.

“Boss Jun!” Feng Xun cried out, for his Boss Jun disappeared from sight, moving as quick as a streak of lightning!

The next second, Jun Linyuan had grabbed Feng Wu by the back of her collar.

That shocked everyone!

His Royal Highness picked Feng Wu up as if she were just a chicken, then —

He took Feng Wu away, just like that.

He carried her away, lifting her up by the back of her collar.

Feng Wu struggled violently and cried out, “Let go of me! Jun Linyuan, put me down!”

However, the crown prince only continued walking with a perfectly straight back, as if he could neither see nor hear her.

The others were all baffled.

Mu Yaoyao said suddenly, “Is His Royal Highness going to kill Feng Wu?”

Gongsun Qing asked, “Then bury her in the woods?”

Feng Xun shuddered at those words.

Judging by how much Boss Jun disliked Feng Wu, he might actually do it!

Feng Xun ran out after them. “Boss Jun! Boss Jun!”

However, Jun Linyuan was moving too fast for Feng Xun to catch up. They were nowhere to be seen.
