Chapter 357: Condescending

When he walked to report, he had checked the item he got from Alex. Seeing it was a high-grade Qi crystal that equaled two months of his full wage, he almost jumped in joy."The princess agreed to meet with you, sir."

The first guard returned. Seeing his friend's experience, he thought he would get a qi crystal like him.

When he was walking to report, he checked the item he got from Alex. Seeing it was a high-grade qi crystal equal to two months of his full wage, he almost jumped in joy.

"The princess agrees to meet you, sir. Let me show you the way."

Following the guard, Alex started walking inside. The layout was not much different from Reina's, and the decoration was not much different either. Before, he hadn't put much focus on it as he was moving quickly, but now he had enough time to observe the area.

Morgan seemed to have a unique hobby of statues. Alex could see many scattered around, each carved beautifully with intricate details forming auspicious beasts. He could see qilin, dragon, tiger, turtle, and phoenix.

Each was made with precious gems, with colors attributed to the beast. The form and how it was carved reminded Alex of the pendant that MingYue got from her parents.

The maids were busy cleaning everything, focused on their work, not saying a single word. Not a single one dared to check who the newcomer was.

Passing through the area, Alex was led into a huge building. Inside, he saw Morgana seated cross-legged in a chair, sipping tea.

She was wearing a black qipao with an opening that showed her cleavage.

"I remember you, so what does that slut follower really want with me? Get straight to the point. I hate wasting my time," Morgana said with a condescending tone, her eyes looking down at Alex.

Seeing this, Alex tried his best to control himself. It wasn't because he was angry; he was trying hard not to laugh.

If it was before, Alex would probably have been mad, but he had seen how weak and vulnerable Morgana was.

She might act strong now, but to hold her position, she spread her legs to any man, making her a slut in his eyes.

Alex's lips curled into a smile, and he then made a small gesture of respect.

Despite what he felt, showing his aggression now would be stupid. It was better for him if she acted like this.

"Princess Morgana, didn't you already hear from the guard? Based on your interaction, don't you have something you wanted? You know I can make sure of that, depending on your offer." seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Morgana's eyes squinted. Hijacking each other was normal in the competition, but being found out doing it was another story. If her father found out, the repercussions would not have been something she wanted to face now.

It would complicate many things. Reina was also her father's favorite. There was a possibility her father would forcefully search her memory. After the last incident with her mother, her standing in the family was not good.

This was also the reason why she was staying in the clan since the patriarch didn't allow her to go out.

'Is this a trap? But I doubt that stupid woman will do this. Still, this man should be the one she brings as her champion.

Won't he have a blood oath with her? Did something happen that made him change sides? I need to be more careful,' Morgana thought.

She then said, "You do know what you say here can get you punished? But that is good as well. If I report it, my sister will lose her only champion."

Alex let out a chuckle. "But Princess Morgana, I am just saying I can help you achieve your wish. By chance, do those wishes break your family rules?"

Morgana's eyes flickered with anger. Only now did she realize Alex never really said he was going to sabotage Reina.

She just thought that was what he meant since her conflict with her was already a public secret. Everyone in the clan knew about this.

She quickly stood up from her chair and screamed, "Get OUT! I have another matter to take care of."

'When things don't go her way, she quickly gives up and runs away, finding the easiest shortcut.

No wonder she ends up selling her body. But this is good for me,' Alex thought.

With her character like this, Alex would be able to predict her actions easily. She also wouldn't pose any danger to the situation. Just another side character that he can ignore.

Satisfied with the result, Alex just smirked, watching Morgana leave.

"I am sorry, sir, that things didn't work out," the guard replied.

"Don't worry. As long as your princess knows there is an opportunity to hijack the result, she will go for it. She is just testing the water now."

"I see. I am not proficient in things like this."

"Don't worry. Everyone has things they are good at," Alex said with a chuckle, then left the courtyard.

But he didn't really leave the area. Alex went to a nearby rooftop and used a rune to camouflage his presence. He lay lazily while looking at the sky.

Alex planned to wait. Despite other measures he had implemented for the guard to spy on Reina, he still wanted to wait for the man from the Zephyr clan. It wasn't like he had anything better to do.

Looking at the sky, without reducing his sense of alertness, Alex started thinking about the awakening cultivator.

Meanwhile, back with MingYue and the others, they were now stuck in the room of the inn. The mayor was sending people to check every cultivator, starting from those closest to the incident place.

They were still waiting for their turn. While waiting, MingYue closed her eyes and saw what Vesa was doing. She had already started her lovely session with the two young masters.

Usually, she would quickly try to get the information she wanted. But now, Vesa was quite intrigued with Ding Dong's transformation.

From human, he was now turned into a half-beast, a tail coming out from his back, while his ears disappeared, replaced with dog-like ears.
