Chapter 286: Chapter 210: Princess Wu of Great Wu in North Countryi
After hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wang Qingci put on a delicate facade and said, “Prince, you’ve changed, become so fierce. You never used to be like this.”
Lu Chen chuckled. This bitch really hadn’t been taken care of by him for too long.
Wang Qingci then continued, “The Princess Junwan from the Great Wu dynasty might have come to Yan County.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly froze.
What?
The Princess of the Great Wu dynasty had come to his feudal state?
A princess of a dynasty, and moreover, a power player, actually came to the territory of an enemy state without any notice.
This Princess Junwan of Great Wu was really too bold, wasn’t she?
After snapping out of it, Lu Chen frowned.
This Princess was a hot potato, being a power player of the Great Wu dynasty. If something were to happen to her in North Country, Great Wu would certainly send troops to invade Great Sum.
The key issue was that this Princess also had a good relationship with the Great Yue Empress. Should anything happen to her, it was possible that the Great Yue Empress might also lend a hand. Currently, Great Yue still had an army of two hundred thousand stationed at the border between North Country and Great Yue.
Lu Chen then asked, “Is this news accurate?”
Wang Qingci replied, “It’s not one hundred percent confirmed yet. The other party came to North Country under the guise of being Miss Qian from the Qian Family. She also plans to meet with the person behind Rain-listening Pavilion and discuss a cooperation with them.”
Hearing Wang Qingci’s words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.
She came to North Country to seek a cooperative relationship with Rain- listening Pavilion?
Could it be that the Princess of Great Wu has discovered the connection between North Prince Mansion and Rain-listening Pavilion?
That shouldn’t be the case.
There are many people associated with Rain-listening Pavilion who are not even aware of their connection to North Prince Mansion, and whenever Wang Qingci appears at Rain-listening Pavilion, she uses an alias and disguises herself.
How could she have been found out by that Princess so quickly?
If she really did find out that North Prince Mansion is behind Rain-listening Pavilion, then she would be even less likely to want to meet the person behind it, since the mastermind behind Rain-listening Pavilion is him, the North Prince. It would be highly inappropriate for Great Wu’s Princess to come and secretly meet with him, the Seignior.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen asked, “How many experts did she bring with her to North Country this time, and how capable are they?”
Wang Qingci said, “She came following the Qian sea merchant fleet. I’m not clear about the exact number of experts she has with her, but there are two elders by her side that give me palpitations. In their presence, I feel as if I’m seeing you, Prince.”
Hearing this from Wang Qingci, Lu Chen frowned again.
The fact that Wang Qingci felt like she was seeing him indicated that the two elders might have strength comparable to his own.
In other words, they were very likely Grandmasters.
It made sense, after all; a princess of a dynasty wouldn’t dare to venture privately into enemy territory without strong protectors by her side.
However, there is an unspoken rule among the nations that Grandmasters usually do not take action.
Great Wu’s Grandmasters coming to Great Sum without prior notice was not much different from provoking a war.
It seems that this Princess Junwan of Great Wu doesn’t put Great Sum in her eyes at all.
At that moment, Wang Qingci asked, “Prince, do you plan to meet with this Princess?”
“I’ve seen her foryou; this Princess is certainly very beautiful. Her looks might even compare to the Palace Master of Mysterious Moon Palace and definitely match your taste.”
Hearing Wang Qingci’s words, Lu Chen smiled and said, “Daring to tease this Prince, Mr. Wang seems to have grown quite arrogant lately.”
“Come here to this Prince!”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wang Qingci’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, “Prince, that Princess of Great Wu is still waiting for my response. I will head back first today. Whenever you want to meet the Princess, just tell me, and I’ll arrange a time for you.”
As she said this, Wang Qingci was planning her escape. She hadn’t yet experienced just how formidable Lu Chen had become as a Grandmaster, but she knew well enough that the current Lu Chen was even more powerful than before.
Lu Chen hadn’t yet become a Grandmaster, but he was already capable of disciplining her to the point of crying and screaming. If she were caught by Lu Chen now, wouldn’t she be pulverized by him?
Just as Wang Qingci was about to make her escape, she suddenly realized she could no longer move her body. Wang Qingci was stunned. What was happening?
Lu Chen looked at her with a smile and said, “Mr. Wang, daring to defy this Prince’s orders. Are you ready to accept your punishment?”
While speaking, Lu Chen raised his hand and channeled all his Spiritual Energy, and in the next moment, a powerful suction force released from the palm of his hand, pulling Wang Qingci’s delicate body directly in front of him.
What Lu Chen used wasn’t the Absorption Technique but simply the Release of Spiritual Power, which anyone in the Grandmaster Realm could use.
Soon, Wang Qingci’s delicate body was completely controlled by Lu Chen’s large hand, held in his embrace. Wang Qingci simply gave up struggling, as she knew she wasn’t getting away today.
Seeing Wang Qingci’s resigned demeanor, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Why isn’t Mr. Wang running now?”
Wang Qingci turned her head to look at Lu Chen and said with a demeanor of someone unfazed by threats, “The Prince has me under control, how could I run away?”
Lu Chen raised his hand and slapped her bottom with a smack. Wang Qingci’s delicate body trembled, and she let out a soft cry.
