"Hu Liena's Fury"

Today, Hu Liena woke up in an unfamiliar room and discovered that she was completely naked. She had been devastated and furious at the time. Only after questioning the innkeeper did she learn that a six-year-old young nobleman had brought her to the inn.

Thinking back to what had happened during the day, she quickly thought of Ye Qin!

Although she later learned that the inn's attendants had changed her clothes, she believed Ye Qin must have done something to her!

Thus, she charged straight into the royal palace, intending to demand an explanation from Ye Qin!

"What did I do to you?" Ye Qin asked in return.

Hu Liena clenched her pearly teeth. "Was it you who took me to the inn last night?"

"Yes, that's right!" Ye Qin replied with a smile.

"Fine, then hand over your life!" Hu Liena shouted furiously as Soul Power burst forth from within her body, her hands already transforming into fox claws!

"Wait, Hu Liena. I saved you twice, and this is how you treat me?" Ye Qin asked calmly.

"What nonsense!" Hu Liena snapped in rage. "I'm going to kill you!"

"Wait, you should at least give me a reason to kill me!" Ye Qin hurriedly replied.

"I..." Hu Liena wanted to retort, but she truly found it difficult to say aloud.

"How about this? I'll help you remember!" Ye Qin said with a smile.

Given Hu Liena's personality, if something like this had happened, she should have torn Ye Qin to pieces long ago. Yet she found herself somewhat unable to bring herself to strike. Grinding her teeth, she said, "Then go on!"

"Do you remember what happened in the Soul Hunting Forest? I saved your life, then you went to absorb a soul ring, but you were poisoned by illusion poison and tried to seduce me!" Ye Qin said.

"Impossible! I would try to seduce you?" Hu Liena frowned.

"I already told you, you were poisoned by Evil Fire Illusion Poison. You even kissed me back then!" Ye Qin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's expression turned even uglier. However, she had already recalled that after absorbing the soul ring, she seemed to have lost her senses and done some improper things to Ye Qin, as well as the things Hong Rui had said while scolding her afterward!

Seeing Hu Liena deep in thought, Ye Qin continued, "Remember now?"

"Even if, even if I kissed you... how could you take advantage of me when I was vulnerable!" Hu Liena said, ashamed and angry.

"Did you do anything to me or not?" Hu Liena added.

"Listen to me first!"

Ye Qin secretly laughed. Everything was under his control. He continued, "You should also remember Hong Rui suddenly appearing and seeing you kiss me. Then she scolded you until you fainted!"

"Get to the point!" Hu Liena said through gritted teeth.

"Then, because I was afraid your illusion poison would act up, I took you to the inn!" Ye Qin replied.

"Then why were my clothes stripped off?" Hu Liena pressed.

"I didn't take off your clothes! You were afflicted by evil fire, so I could only cool you down with water. But I couldn't bear to watch you freeze to death, so I had the inn attendants remove your original wet clothes!" Ye Qin continued.

"Is that really what happened?" Hu Liena asked doubtfully.

"There's no reason for me to lie to you. I'm still a child; I have no interest in women's bodies!" Ye Qin answered.

"Now you should understand. I saved you twice, yet you turned around and tried to kill me. How does that make any sense?"

Hearing this, Hu Liena was half-convinced and half-doubtful. She withdrew her Soul Power and said coldly, "I'll investigate this matter thoroughly. If it isn't as you said, then I'll...!"

With that, Hu Liena threw open the palace doors and rushed out.

Watching Hu Liena's departing figure, Ye Qin instead felt secretly delighted. Looks like the system's favorability really did work. In that case, Hu Liena, hehe!

Halfway out, Hu Liena suddenly stopped. The more she thought about it, the more something felt wrong!

Normally, if something like this had happened, she would have killed Ye Qin long ago. Why had she hesitated so much today? Was it merely because Ye Qin was a child?

Moreover, Ye Qin's behavior had truly surprised her. He did not seem like a six-year-old child at all!

"Ye Qin, you bastard, get out here!" Outside the Prince's Sleeping Quarters, Zhao Ying let out a furious roar.

The eight guards outside the courtyard gates could not restrain her at all as she charged straight in.

"What is it this time?" Ye Qin walked out, his temper flaring slightly.

"What exactly did you do to Xuan'er?" Zhao Ying shouted. "She won't even talk to me anymore!"

"I really didn't do anything!" Ye Qin protested miserably.

He was certain that he had not done anything to Ye Xuan.

"Fine, you won't say, huh?" Zhao Ying said sinisterly. "Perfect. You've undergone Martial Soul Awakening too. According to our previous agreement, I'll be in charge of your Soul Power training from now on!"

"No!" Seeing Zhao Ying's sinister expression, Ye Qin refused righteously.

"Give me a reason!" Zhao Ying shouted.

"Because... because I've already joined Spirit Hall!" Ye Qin blurted out in his haste. "We agreed before that as long as I joined a faction or academy, you wouldn't need to teach me!"

"Didn't you refuse?" Zhao Ying frowned.

"None of your business. I changed my mind!" Ye Qin shrugged. "Perfect timing, I'm going to Spirit Hall to report in. Bye!"

With that, Ye Qin dashed out of the courtyard. Surprisingly, Zhao Ying did not stop him. Instead, Yang Qitian jumped down from the rooftop and followed after Ye Qin.

"Monkey Yang, why are you following me?" Ye Qin asked Yang Qitian.

"Prince, the Queen personally ordered it. Wherever you go, this old servant must follow. Otherwise, she'll scold me!" Yang Qitian replied.

"Then follow me!" Ye Qin nodded.

There was nothing shameful for the time being, anyway.

"Prince, this old servant heard that you rejected Hu Liena. Why are you going to Spirit Hall again?" Yang Qitian asked with a smile.

"Times have changed!" Ye Qin replied with a smile.

Although he did not truly intend to join Spirit Hall for now, he had already thought of a solution. Besides, it was time to launch an offensive against Hu Liena!

Spirit Hall was also located in the central district of the Royal City, very close to the royal palace. It could be reached after crossing two streets.

Originally, Ye Qin had been happily walking down the street when a fast horse suddenly charged straight toward him!

At that moment, Ye Qin's reaction was actually half a beat faster than Yang Qitian's. With a circulation of Soul Power, several black vines immediately shot out from Bluestone Street, tripping the fast horse and the young man riding it, sending them tumbling head over heels!

Seeing this, the pedestrians on the street all hurriedly stopped, their faces filled with shock.

However, the young man was also swift. At the instant the horse toppled over, he slapped the saddle and used the force to spring up. Then, after a flip, he landed steadily on the ground.

The young man looked around eleven or twelve years old. He had long black hair and wore an ancient-style silk robe. With sword-like brows, bright eyes, and a strong build, he was rather handsome.

"Who are you? How dare you block this young master's path!" the young man shouted angrily at Ye Qin.

"And who are you? You nearly ran someone over, yet you still think you're in the right?" Ye Qin retorted without backing down.
