Her top priority here in Proud Snowfield was to get the internal elixir of that Frosty Night Beast, which she would use as the core of her Taiyi Formation!

But Jun Linyuan had just fed the internal elixir to her! It was gone!

Jun Linyuan was displeased by Feng Wu’s reaction.

He hadn’t even thought about keeping the internal elixir for himself, and had fed it to her himself so that she wouldn’t give it to Yu Mingye. And now, she was yelling at him?

Hence, the two of them glared at each other, and the temperature in the tent began to rise!

Feng Wu yelled, “Jun Linyuan! What were you thinking?! You fed the internal elixir to me?!”

Jun Linyuan’s face turned livid. He had saved the internal elixir just for her, and she was yelling at him now? He felt so wronged!

Feng Wu went on. “What good will it do me? You could have given it to Yu Mingye! He needs extra help!”

The crown prince was furious!

Feng Wu glared at him. “Quit staring at me! Am I wrong?!”

Jun Linyuan had enough. Staring at Feng Wu, he pointed at Yu Mingye. “Do you care about him that much?!”

He was so mad!

He wanted to cut Yu Mingye into little pieces!

Feng Wu snorted. “Of course! He saved my life!”

Jun Linyuan almost had a heart attack.

“He saved your life? When did that happen?!”

Feng Wu snorted. “I’ll skip what happened before and tell you the most recent incident. If he hadn’t saved me from those Qilin Beasts, I would have been killed!”

Jun Linyuan drew in his breath!

Blue veins popped in the corner of his forehead.

He wanted to throttle Feng Wu!

“How do you know it was him?”

“What question is that? It’s so obvious.” Feng Wu smirked. “Who else could it have been? You?”

“Why couldn’t it be me?”

“Heh.” Feng Wu sneered at him. “Your Royal Highness, saving people really isn’t your forte. You’re much better at killing. Back in North…”

Feng Wu stopped abruptly!

She almost let it slip!

If she mentioned what happened with the eagle, she would be telling him that she was that ugly girl!

Hence, Feng Wu cleared her throat. “Anyway, it won’t be the first time you turn away from someone that needs help!”

“I turn away from those that need my help?! I just saved that woman!” Jun Linyuan exploded.

He had done it for Feng Wu!

Because at that moment, he had turned around to find Feng Wu staring at Gongsun Qing.

Jun Linyuan didn’t want Gongsun Qing to fall to the ground, for the gory scene might give Feng Wu nightmares. That was why he had given Gongsun Qing a hand!

But —

Jun Linyuan shouldn’t have mentioned that, for Feng Wu flared up right away!

Not only did the crown prince turn away from her in Northern Border City, he even tried to kill her. And what did he just do? He saved a girl in front of Feng Wu! Very nice!

Feng Wu snorted. “That’s right! You saved Gongsun Qing! How amazing! I’m sure you’ll win her heart after saving her from distress! Everyone will be talking about it from now on!”

Jun Linyuan was infuriated!

He should never have saved that woman!

He glared at Feng Wu. “You’re impossible!”

“I’m impossible? Me?!” Feng Wu snapped, “You’re impossible! Your whole family is impossible!”

Xuan Yi and Feng Xun were eavesdropping outside, and both of them blanched at Feng Wu’s words.

That girl had just alluded to His Majesty! How bold!

Jun Linyuan’s face turned livid.

Kicking the door open, he stormed out.

“Boss Jun —” Xuan Yi and Feng Xun followed him in a hurry.

Turning around, Jun Linyuan stared at Xuan Yi furiously!

His gaze was so intense that it gave Xuan Yi the creeps.

Only then did Jun Linyuan turn back and march off.

Everywhere he went, the ice cracked under his feet.

It was only after the crown prince was out of sight that Feng Xun said indignantly, “Xuan the Second, what did you do to piss Boss Jun off this time?”

“I didn’t do anything. I told him something. That’s all.”

“Since when are you capable of doing that? You pissed Boss Jun off with just a few words?”

Wasn’t Boss Jun supposed to go around with his poker face?

Xuan Yi rubbed his nose.

What did he say?

Well, he told the crown prince that girls were all petty, and as a guy, the crown prince should be magnanimous and offer her a way out. The girl would jump at the opportunity.

However —

Xuan Yi rubbed his forehead in frustration.

How was he supposed to know how badly the crown prince would handle this? What a waste of such a precious internal elixir…

Feng Xun threw a dirty look at Xuan Yi. “Didn’t you say that Boss Jun likes my sister? What are you going to say now?”

Xuan Yi’s mouth fell open.

“Go talk to Boss Jun. Please have him leave my sister alone.”

Xuan Yi’s mouth hung open.

“I’ll go comfort that girl. Sigh. She’s got such a big heart. Anyone else would’ve felt so defeated.”

Xuan Yi’s mouth remained open.

The tent was some distance away from the crowd and most of the other people didn’t hear what happened.

Hence, the others didn’t know about the quarrel between Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan.

Feng Xun entered the tent to find his beloved sister sitting there, sulking.

“Hey, hey —” Feng Xun patted Feng Wu’s shoulder to make her look at him.

“What now?”

Feng Wu had yet to calm down from the quarrel and was still breathing hard.

“Sister, do calm down. That’s just how Boss Jun is. You’ll get used to it, hahaha —”

“Get used to it? Why should I get used to him? He better stay out of my way!”

Feng Xun said, “Actually… he didn’t mean it.”

Feng Wu said, “No, he so did!”

“Is it that serious?”

“Yes, it is!” Feng Wu snorted. “Otherwise, why did he feed me the internal elixir of that Frosty Night Beast? He was making fun of me!”

Feng Wu shuddered as she spoke.

It was freezing…

The cold was rising up from her dantian.

Feng Wu felt as if her dantian had frozen up!

“So, you think Boss Jun was making fun of you by feeding you the internal elixir?”

“Was he not?” Feng Wu showed him her palm, which was covered in a thin layer of frost.

It pained Feng Xun to see it!

“Why is this happening?”

Feng Wu smirked. “I’ve swallowed the internal elixir of that Frosty Night Beast, alright? It has the coldest energy you can possibly think of. Even if one wants to eat it, the thing has to be processed carefully by medicine refiners first. It can only be consumed once it’s made into a potion. And what did he do? He just shoved it down my throat!”

850 The Unfortunate…

Feng Xun asked, “How do you feel now?”

“I have a headache as well as a stomachache!” Wrinkling up her nose, Feng Wu looked out of sorts.

She went on, “How could he? The Heart of Frost Essence was too precious to waste like this!”

Feng Xun said, “But that wasn’t the Heart of Frost Essence.”

“What?” Feng Wu was baffled.

“Wasn’t it the internal elixir of the Frosty Night Beast? Why wasn’t it the Heart of Frost Essence?”

“Because that wasn’t the Frosty Night Beast, not the real one. It was only a shadow of the real thing and didn’t have all its abilities. That’s why it only had the common internal elixir, and not the Heart of Frost Essence.”

Feng Wu: !!!

“So, the Heart of Frost Essence is still out there?!”

“Of course!” Feng Xun gloated. “Boss Jun has had his eye on it all along. And if Boss Jun wants something, no one can take it from him.”

Feng Wu smiled a little.

Really? He thought so?

Back in Frozen Forest in Northern Border City, she hadn’t had any cultivation ability, but she had still been able to steal that Immortal Spiritual Fruit from Jun Linyuan.

Feng Wu darted a glance at Feng Xun. “Has your Boss Jun never failed?”

“Of course!”

“Are you sure?”

“I think so…”

“Really, really sure?”

“Well… You know what? I’m going to tell you something, but you can’t tell anyone else.”

Feng Wu grinned. “What is it?”

“Actually, Boss Jun was tricked once, and it was a pretty elaborate scam. We went into Frozen Forest when we were in Northern Border City…”

Feng Xun then told Feng Wu everything. He almost burst into tears in the end. “…That ugly girl was so cunning! She just took off with that Immortal Spiritual Fruit! I’ve never met such a cold-blooded girl! And I was so kind to her!”

Feng Wu rubbed her nose, feeling a little guilty…

If Feng Xun knew that the girl he wanted to hunt down was standing right in front of him… Would he beat the crap out of her right now?

Feng Wu changed the subject. “I’m starving. Do you have anything to eat?”

But Feng Xun was too absorbed in the subject to be distracted.

He snorted. “If I ever catch that girl, I’ll starve her and won’t let her sleep for seven days…”

Feng Xun went on listing all the punishments he had in mind without knowing that Feng Wu was the ugly girl herself.

However, Yu Mingye noticed…

He had woken up already, but was pretending to be asleep so that he could listen to Feng Wu and Feng Xun’s conversation.

When Feng Xun talked about what he would do to that ugly girl, Yu Mingye observed the look on Feng Wu’s face through narrowed eyes.

He had had his suspicions when they were by the river. Now that he saw the look on Feng Wu’s face…

He was almost certain.

Because Feng Wu looked too guilty and kept on trying to change the subject.

So… Little Feng Wu was that ugly girl in Northern Border City?

Yu Mingye was overwhelmed by conflicted feelings.

That ugly girl had made his life miserable!

He had given that girl some pink pills and threatened that the “poison” would kill her. Afterward, he learned that those pink pills had been created by Feng Wu herself!

851 The Crown Prince and His Temper

So, if Feng Wu was that ugly girl… Yu Mingye couldn’t bring himself to think further along that line.

And he had been tricked over and over again after the first time… How he wanted to spank that girl now!

However —

On second thought!

He was the only one who knew that secret about Feng Wu. Neither Feng Xun nor Xuan Yi knew. Not even Jun Linyuan!

And he also knew about Feng Wu’s cultivation ability, which none of those three guys had discovered!

Yu Mingye felt a sense of superiority.

Poor Feng Wu. Even the wisest made mistakes sometimes, and she had just slipped up without knowing it.

Just then, someone called outside.

“It’s dinner time —”

Feng Xun pulled Feng Wu to her feet and said cheerfully, “Come! Let’s have something to eat!”

In the campsite.

The mood was quite strange at the moment.

So was the look on Xuan Yi’s face.

To his surprise, instead of sitting all by himself, Jun Linyuan had joined the other candidates.

The girls gathered around automatically as soon as he sat down.

It was such a rare opportunity, and everyone wanted to grab the chance.

Mu Yaoyao was the most aggressive one. She had successfully frightened away a few girls with the intimidating look in her eyes.

However —

Jun Linyuan spoke to Gongsun Qing first.

“How are you doing?”

How are you doing?

It was a simple four-word question, but His Royal Highness had taken the initiative, which was enough to excite all the girls.

His Royal Highness had struck up a conversation with a girl?!

Holy shit!

Gongsun Qing was dumbfounded! Her head went blank, the smile froze on her face, and she didn’t even know where to put her hands.

Next to her, Shi Xuan was equally dumbfounded.

But she came back to herself first and pinched Gongsun Qing!

Say something! Anything! His Royal Highness is talking to you!

Gongsun Qing blushed and bit her lower lip. The proud teenage girl was only able to reply in a whisper, “Alright…”

Alright? Go on! Say something else!

Right now, even those in front of the screen were shocked, let alone the candidates at the scene.

What the heck?!

His Royal Highness spoke to a girl? That was unheard of!

So much so that the news reached the imperial palace almost immediately!

Jun Linyuan was talking to Gongsun Qing, but his eyes were on that tent.

Seeing Feng Wu come out, he smiled in a mesmerizing manner and turned his intense gaze on Gongsun Qing.

“You’ve been holding your arm. Are you in pain?”

His deep voice had a majestic quality to it and all the girls were infatuated!

Holy shit!

Gongsun Qing thought her head was going to explode!

His Royal Highness cared about her!

Was Shi Xuan telling the truth?!

Just then, Jun Linyuan rose to his feet and left without looking in Feng Wu’s direction.

However, what he said was enough to set the campsite on fire!

Gongsun Qing wasn’t the only one shaken.

All the other girls had formed their own opinions.

They had always thought that His Royal Highness was this unattainable figure who sat high on his throne. But what happened just then proved otherwise!

852 Because… I“m Pretty?

The look in his bright eyes was so gentle when he looked at Gongsun Qing…

Holy shit!

In front of the screen.

Elder Xuanyuan cupped his hands at Gongsun Lan and congratulated her. “Elder Gongsun, congratulations. The Gongsun family is rising. Please don’t forget your old friends.”

Gongsun Lan was secretly elated.

After all, all families wanted to marry their girls to Jun Linyuan.

An entire clan would prosper for many years just by being associated with Jun Linyuan, to say nothing of a marriage contract.

Despite her excitement, Gongsun Lan only smiled and waved her hand. “You flatter me. That was the most common greeting and nothing more. You’re overthinking it.”

“Oh my, Elder Gongsun, you’re too modest. This is His Royal Highness we’re talking about here. When was the last time you saw His Royal Highness greet someone?”

Gongsun Lan said, “Well, I haven’t.”

“There you have it. Go and prepare. The royal family will be visiting you soon.” Elder Xuanyuan chuckled.

In Proud Snowfield —

Shi Xuan was tugging at Gongsun Qing and crying out in excitement, “Sister Qing! Sister Qing! Congratulations! Congratulations!”

Shi Xuan wasn’t so sure before, but after what happened just then… All the girls knew what that meant.

“His Royal Highness is really…”

Gongsun Qing was still in a trance-like state. The happiness arrived so suddenly that she was still trying to digest it.

“Yes! Yes! He is! He really is!” Shi Xuan was thrilled. She then turned around and spotted Feng Wu. The smile disappeared from her face right away. “Sister Qing, look. Someone’s unhappy.”

Shi Xuan didn’t try to lower her voice and many heard her.

They all turned to look at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu didn’t look her best at the moment and she was even frowning a little.

“So, Feng Wu’s really unhappy.”

“Are you kidding me? How can she be happy?”

“After following His Royal Highness around for so long, His Royal Highness can’t even be bothered to look at her. As soon as she started to work on Yu Mingye, His Royal Highness… I’d be so pissed if I were her.”

“Look at her face. It’s hilarious.”

Somehow, those girls just wouldn’t leave Feng Wu alone. Now that they believed that Jun Linyuan was in love with Gongsun Qing, they still saw Feng Wu as their target.

Feng Wu rolled her eyes at those words.

“Why won’t they leave you alone?” Feng Xun couldn’t stand it anymore.

Feng Wu said, “Because… I’m pretty?”

Feng Xun sighed in resignation. This girl was unbelievable.

“Feng Wu, Feng Wu —” Gongsun Qing dragged Feng Wu away.

Feng Wu didn’t want to go with her, but Gongsun Qing moved too swiftly and the others were all helping her. Feng Wu couldn’t throw her off right away.

Well, she could, if she activated her spiritual essence.

But she didn’t want to be exposed just yet.

“Feng Wu, Feng Wu, are you with Yu Mingye now?” Gongsun Qing was finally back to herself, and she was glowing with excitement.

853 The Goddess, My Senior Sister!

Feng Wu said, “No.”

Feng Wu was the person Gongsun Qing wanted to hurt the most, but Shi Xuan spoke before Gongsun Qing did.

“Feng Wu, did you see what happened? Do you think His Royal Highness… has feelings for Sister Qing?”

Feng Wu rolled her eyes. “Why are you asking me? I’m not Jun Linyuan.”

Shi Xuan persisted. “But His Royal Highness saved Sister Qing and he even asked after her himself. Don’t you think that means something?”

Feng Wu sighed in resignation. “I have no idea, seriously…”

Shi Xuan snapped, “Why are you giving me attitude? You should be flattered that we’re even asking for your opinion! Are you jealous or something?”

Feng Wu was speechless.

She had nothing to do with any of this!

He who had a mind to beat his dog would always find a stick.

The last thing Feng Wu wanted was to get involved in the bickering. So, she quickly dragged Mu Yaoyao, the queen of bickering, into the fight.

She had noticed that Mu Yaoyao had been grinding her teeth for a while.

“I’m sure Princess Mu has a lot to say on the subject. You better ask her,” Feng Wu said with a smile as she rose to her feet.

At the end of the day, it was all Jun Linyuan’s fault!

He could flirt with whoever he wanted, but couldn’t he do it discreetly? He just had to let everyone see it, didn’t he? Did he have any idea how easy it was to provoke these women?!

Crossing her arms, Mu Yaoyao leaned against a wall and smiled. “Of course she would give you attitude. How else is she supposed to react?”

Shi Xuan said, “Princess Mu, do you think His Royal Highness…”

Mu Yaoyao’s face darkened. “What’s your problem?! Are you ever going to stop? Gosh, you’re shameless! I bet you’re so proud of yourself!”

Gongsun Qing’s face darkened as well.

Mu Yaoyao was openly attacking her!

She leapt to her feet and glared at Mu Yaoyao!

Looking over her shoulder, Feng Wu saw that the two girls were indeed turning against each other. This was going to be fun.

Gongsun Qing snapped, “Mu Yaoyao, what was that supposed to mean?!”

“You heard me. Don’t understand Chinese?” said Mu Yaoyao.

“Are you cursing me now?”

“I’m just reminding you: Everyone should know their rightful place!”

“And I don’t? How?”

“Heh. You think you do? If that’s the case, you won’t be fantasizing about marrying His Royal Highness. Even with Feng Wu out of the picture, there’s still Zuo Qingluan!”

Gongsun Qing’s face turned livid.

Mu Yaoyao snorted. “My senior sister is the one with True Phoenix Blood, which makes her the only one worthy of His Royal Highness’s affections! Who the hell do you think you are?!”

“You!” Cheeks flushed with embarrassment, Gongsun Qing raised a hand to slap Mu Yaoyao.

“Do you know how amazing my senior sister is? She’s like a goddess!

“She became a Spiritual Elder when I left my sect the year before last!

“Even Elder Mystery was amazed by her achievements in cultivation and formations!

“She can fend off thousands of magical beasts with her spiritual zither!
