Chapter 53: Simple Matter

--- Chapter 52 ---

The next day.

Lan Xueruo stood in front of Yu Long's room nervously.

She looked around, thinking how suspicious she was to stand before a youth's room.

Unknown to Lan Xueruo, Yu Long's parents and grandparents have long noticed her presence. However, they smiled and let her off.

They knew Lan Xueruo was a good girl.

More so, what kind of harm could she do to Yu Long? That monstrous descendant of theirs doesn't need protection.

"This is interesting." Yu Xin commented while sipping her morning tea.

"What do you think is gonna happen, husband?"

Yu Zhan put on a complicated expression, "To be honest, I don't know."

"Our son is abnormal..."

"Say that again, I dare you, I double dare you!" Yu Xin narrowed her eyes at Yu Zhan.

How could he call her handsome and talented son abnormal?

You're courting death!

Yu Zhan raised his arms in defeat. After starting her profound way, his wife becomes more domineering.

At least they are equal on the bed.

"Fine, fine. Our son is unique." He fixed his words.

"To answer your question earlier. I could see Yu Long poaching another girl to his side."

"You mean...?" Yu Xin's eyes twinkled.

Yu Zhan smiled and didn't say anything further.

Meanwhile, Xu Sanshan and Xu Nannan laughed joyfully at the sight of Lan Xueruo before their grandson's room.

"Hahaha, as expected of my grandson~!!" The grandpa excitedly rubbed his hands like a shady businessman. "Even if he doesn't want to admit it, the royal bloodline in his veins attracts someone of similar stature."

"The greatest prince of the Eternal Night Royal Family and the Blue Wind Imperial Family's princess." Xu Nannan giggled in amusement.

"Although her cultivation base is lacking, understandable as she was fourteen, her character isn't bad."

"She is very humble and 'filial' to her mother. That alone puts her higher than those spoiled brats have encountered. I've seen some young ladies sucking off their noble status to entice Yu Long."

"Unfortunately for them, my grandson isn't blind! Haha, fuck those little lasses!"

"Language..." Xu Sanshan was speechless. His wife is becoming more violent these days.

Maybe because the peace granted by their grandson finally allowed them to relax after so many years.

Xu Nannan covered her mouth yet still grinning, "It seems we don't have to worry about the Eternal Night Royal Family's bloodline anymore."

"We have another granddaughter-in-law in the bag."

"Weird things to say, isn't it?" Xu Sanshan teased her.

"Hehe, not as weird as how you proposed to me~!" Xu Nannan teased back.

"Different era, different result." Xu Sanshan shook his head gently as it was a good old day of his youth.

"In this era, our grandson would stand at the top!"

...

Back to Lan Xueruo.

As she was about to knock on the door, it opened abruptly.

She was startled like a cat and hid behind a decorated plant.

Hong Guan stared at the Blue Wind Empire's princess and commented casually, "Princess, why are you hiding there?"

"You're looking down on me too much."

A blush appeared on Lan Xueruo's cheeks as she realized her action was embarrassing.

She might not know how powerful Hong Guan was, but from how the red-haired lady acted, such confidence only befitted Earth Profound Realm Expert or above!

Hiding from such an expert is useless.

Lan Xueruo awkwardly stood up from the floor and bowed, "I'm sorry."

'Well, that was unexpected...' Hong Guan thought with her lips curved.

She stared at Lan Xueruo with an observing gaze and said, "It's fine, princess. Young Master is waiting for you inside."

"I assume you have a lot of things to say."

"Yes." Lan Xueruo nodded with determination.

Noticing the firm light in the princess's eyes, Hong Guan saw the reflection of her past self.

Those eyes showed the sheer importance of this visit.

"Let's go inside."

"E-Even if you ask me to sleep with you."

Damn girl!

Are you for real?

Yu Long sighed inside, as expected of the Cultivation World.

Puberty hit differently in this world.

'Also, that Qingyue girl was selling me out?' Yu Long smiled helplessly.

Well, let's test her a little.

He looked down at Lan Xueruo and smirked, "Really, anything?"

"Y-Yes..." Lan Xueruo whimpered.

The clock is ticking once more, making the mood in the room stagnant.

Lan Xueruo buried her forehead on the carpet and never showed a sign of getting up. She was very stubborn, especially when her mother's life came into question.

"Actually..." Yu Long finally uttered something.

"Healing the empress is a simple matter."

"But... Since you would do anything, I have a good offer for you."

"Just tell me what it is, and I will do it." Lan Xueruo said without hesitation.

Yu Long put on a sadistic look and indifferently responded, "I want you to kill some orphans in Silver Lake City. They are quite annoying, you know?"

"If possible, torture them for a little bit... I like them screaming like pigs."

"W-What?!" Lan Xueruo was shocked.

"K-Killing orphans..."

"I-I can't do it..."

"Hmm, I thought you said 'anything' earlier." Yu Long frowned slightly. "Not very responsible for your words, eh?"

Lan Xueruo trembled, "I will do anything, but killing innocent lives is out of my bottom line..."

"Even though I wanted to save my mother, she also taught me that lives are precious. She taught me to cherish it."

"She would wish nothing but to die faster if she knew I did such a thing, so NO!"

Yu Long leaned on her ears and whispered as if he were the devil, "She doesn't need to know."

"Your mother doesn't have to know."

"Her life is much more important than those street ruffians, right?"

"Keep your mouth shut, and she'll live in ignorance until her long life dissipates..."

"This world isn't suitable for the innocents. Power is all that matters!"

"T-That is..." Lan Xueruo's eyes gradually became red as she suddenly slapped herself on the face. It was a hard smack.

PA!

"Eh," Yu Long was taken aback.

Lan Xueruo inhaled and shouted, "I'll never kill innocent people!"

"Even if your mother's life is at stake?"

"I will save both!"

"Pfft~!" Yu Long laughed and smacked the bed a few times.

"HAHAHA~!"

He poked Lan Xueruo's forehead and commented, "Aih, how naive of you, princess."

"To save both, you need absolute strength!"

"And you don't have such a privilege!"

"But... You pass."

"Hehe, my words earlier were a joke."

"I will become your champion-!" Before Yu Long could finish his words.

Lan Xueruo's tears welled up due to intense emotion and she hugged Yu Long tightly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Yu Long pushed Lan Xueruo after she calmed down and shook his head gently. "I haven't finished my words..."

"I will be your champion and heal your mother."

"And in return..."

"You two will be my test subjects."

"T-Test Subjects?!"
