Reborn as a Dragon Egg, Personally Hatched by the Silver Dragon King: Presumably Your Highness Doesn't Want Your Identity Exposed Either

Suddenly, Ye Feng sensed something. He looked up and met Qian Renxue's sharp, beautiful golden eyes.

"Hmm? She noticed?"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and withdrew Star Eye, yet continued staring directly at Qian Renxue with a faint smile on his lips.

After several seconds of eye contact, Ye Feng rose to his feet and walked out of Moonlight Pavilion.

"Hmm... this guy... why do I feel like he saw right through me..."

Xue Qinghe instinctively squeezed his legs together, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Naturally, he knew Ye Feng.

The youngest Heaven Dou-level teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Rumor had it that, at merely sixteen years old, he was already a level-fifty quasi-Soul King and seemed to possess the legendary ultimate fire-attribute martial soul.

Such terrifying talent was unprecedented, directly shattering the historical record of the Heaven Dou Empire.

He greatly admired Ye Feng and had originally intended to find an opportunity to approach him and see whether he could recruit him into his ranks. He had not expected to encounter him here.

"This fellow is truly rather strange..." Xue Qinghe found himself inexplicably resistant toward Ye Feng.

He felt that there was something strange about Ye Feng, yet he could not put it into words.

And that look in his eyes just now...

Xue Qinghe seemed to realize something. He slowly rose and headed in the direction Ye Feng had left.

The guards behind him immediately wanted to follow, but Xue Qinghe stopped them. "Wait here. There is no need to follow me."

"Your Highness..."

Several guards hesitated, but ultimately did not follow him.

Xue Qinghe left the hall and entered the vast courtyard outside Moonlight Pavilion.

There was an artificial pond in the courtyard, with a pavilion by its side.

Inside the pavilion, Ye Feng sat across from the stone table, smiling at Xue Qinghe as though he had been waiting for a long time.

Though Xue Qinghe faintly sensed that something was off, he still wore a gentle smile as he looked at Ye Feng. "I had long heard that Heaven Dou Academy produced its youngest Heaven Dou-level teacher. Now that I have met you, you truly are extraordinary."

As he spoke, Xue Qinghe arrived opposite Ye Feng and slowly sat down.

"Oh? Your Highness has heard of me?"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

He had not expected his reputation to have already reached Xue Qinghe's ears. Word sure traveled quickly...

"Teacher Ye possesses exceptional talent and has drawn quite a bit of attention. I have heard a little about you as well." Xue Qinghe smiled faintly, but could not resist reminding him, "Though Teacher Ye is outstandingly gifted, there are still certain matters you should be mindful of. Especially investigating powerful people at will in public—it is a very impolite act."

Though Xue Qinghe appeared to be offering a reminder, there was also a hint of warning in his words.

After all, he was the Crown Prince, and also a powerful Soul Saint.

Although Ye Feng's investigation had been very concealed and he had no evidence, his intuition told him that Ye Feng had definitely examined him in great detail.

Though he was confident that his disguise could not be seen through, Ye Feng's actions still made him somewhat displeased.

"Your Highness misunderstands. I was not probing into your privacy. I merely took a few extra looks."

"It is simply that my martial soul is somewhat special and comes with the ability to see through things..."

Ye Feng's lips curved slightly as he openly stated the truth.

"WHAT! See through things?!"

Xue Qinghe's pupils suddenly contracted. His heartbeat accelerated sharply, and a terrifying killing intent flashed through his eyes.

However, it all happened in an instant. Xue Qinghe quickly calmed down, his expression turning placid as he revealed an intrigued look. "Oh? Then may I ask, Teacher Ye, what did you see?"

Xue Qinghe stared fixedly at Ye Feng.

Though he was extremely confident in the disguise provided by his Angel Soul Bone, he could not help feeling nervous, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared in his palms.

If Ye Feng had truly seen something, he would absolutely attack without hesitation and kill him on the spot!

At worst, he could frame Ye Feng for attempted murder afterward.

Of course, that was only if he had no other choice.

Ye Feng was the youngest Heaven Dou-level teacher, already famous far and wide, and had an unclear connection with Dugu Bo.

If he truly killed Ye Feng, the consequences would be beyond what he could bear.

"I saw..."

Ye Feng stopped halfway through, deliberately keeping him in suspense.

"What did you see..."

Xue Qinghe leaned forward, narrowing his eyes. Terrifying Soul Power gathered around him, firmly locking onto Ye Feng.

"I saw Your Highness shrouded in a layer of mist. I could not see clearly through it."

Ye Feng smiled faintly.

"Phew—"

Upon hearing that answer, Xue Qinghe instantly relaxed, though his heart still pounded wildly.

That had scared him half to death.

If Ye Feng had truly seen anything, then his undercover operation of more than ten years would likely have been completely ruined.

That was a consequence he could never accept.

"As the Crown Prince, I naturally possess secret measures that conceal me from investigation. It is only normal that you cannot see through them." Though Xue Qinghe said this, his tone remained somewhat unfriendly. "Ordinary probing would be one thing, but if you dare use those eyes to look around indiscriminately again, I will not spare you!"

"Your Highness, I wasn't finished yet~"

Ye Feng remained calm as he continued.

"Fortunately, my cultivation is profound enough. Through that mist, I saw Your Highness's true form~"

"I never expected the Crown Prince to actually be a woman..."

Xue Qinghe: ...

BOOM—

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

Xue Qinghe erupted. A terrifying domain abruptly spread out, concealing all aura in the area.

Immediately afterward, Xue Qinghe transformed into a streak of golden light, wielding the enormous Angel Sacred Sword as he slashed straight at Ye Feng's head.

In his fury, Xue Qinghe's disguise completely vanished, revealing her true appearance.

Qian Renxue had truly snapped this time.

Terrifying killing intent completely engulfed Ye Feng.

She was furious and humiliated!

Having her identity seen through was one thing, but he had actually seen her body too!

Who the hell could tolerate that?!

BOOM—

The terrifying greatsword directly cleaved the pavilion apart and descended straight onto Ye Feng's skull.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

As the dust dispersed, Qian Renxue focused her gaze, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

A phrase abruptly surfaced in her mind—catching a blade barehanded!

Her greatsword... had actually been caught by Ye Feng with his bare hands!!!

"Your Highness, sneak attacks are not very polite, you know~"

Ye Feng grinned.

Although Qian Renxue was already a Soul Saint, she did not wish to make too great a commotion, so she had not used any especially powerful Soul Skills. Moreover, she had underestimated Ye Feng, allowing him to catch her greatsword so easily.

The next moment—

BOOM—

As terrifying force erupted, a massive crater over half a meter deep appeared beneath Ye Feng's feet.

Ye Feng shot forward like an arrow released from its bow and slammed viciously into Qian Renxue.

CRACK—

A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out as Ye Feng and Qian Renxue were embedded together in the solid wall behind them.

"How can you possibly possess such terrifying strength..."

Qian Renxue's eyes bulged. She felt as though she had been struck by a Fierce Beast, leaving her mind muddled.

Ye Feng's speed had simply been too fast. Qian Renxue could only block with both arms.

That terrifying force directly shattered both her arms and ribs, severely injuring her on the spot. Her martial soul was knocked back into her body, leaving her completely unable to fight.

Clearly, she had utterly underestimated Ye Feng's combat strength.

"Your Highness has such a fine figure despite being a woman... Ah, no, such impressive skills..." Ye Feng pressed Qian Renxue into the wall, grinning with a malicious expression.

"You... let me go... I am not the Crown Prince. His Highness had urgent business to attend to, and I am merely standing in for him temporarily..." Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and forcibly tried to argue.

Though being teased made her extremely unhappy, she knew this was not the time for anger.

Right now, she only wanted to escape...

Because Ye Feng surely did not know that she was Spirit Hall's undercover agent. So long as she could escape, there would still be room to salvage the situation!

"Your Highness Qian Renxue, stop pretending. I actually knew all along."

Naturally, Ye Feng knew what Qian Renxue was thinking. He directly exposed her identity, shattering her final hope.

Sure enough, when Ye Feng said those words, Qian Renxue's mind instantly went blank, and she froze where she was.

All strength left her body in that instant, and her exquisite, beautiful face was filled with despair.

"You... who exactly are you... How could you know my identity..."

Qian Renxue knew that she was completely finished this time.

With her identity exposed, even if she escaped, her plans of more than ten years would be destroyed...

Those years of effort had not merely been an undercover mission. This plan was everything to her—the result she wished to show that woman and prove herself with!

And now, it had all been utterly ruined.

For an instant, Qian Renxue even felt the urge to end her life.

From the moment she was born, that woman had targeted her and nearly killed her.

To prove herself, she had shouldered a difficult mission, left Spirit Hall, and come to a foreign land. After killing Xue Qinghe, she had assumed his identity...

It sounded simple, but she had poured countless efforts into it all so that she could prove her abilities before Bibi Dong.

But now, the mission had failed. Even if she escaped, she would only be mocked, insulted, and humiliated by that woman!

That was something she could not accept...

Rather than endure that, she might as well die now and end it all.

"Damn, I haven't even done anything, and you're already in such a hurry to die???"

Seeing Qian Renxue completely stop resisting, Ye Feng was startled. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness Qian Renxue, surely you do not want your identity exposed either. There may still be room for us to cooperate~"

"You..."

Qian Renxue's heart jolted at those words, but she still frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

Though Qian Renxue said so, she did not hold much hope. Even if he let her go, he would still have leverage over her.
