Brother Lu, are you serious?

"Oh, I see. In that case, since I have nowhere else to go, the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena isn't a bad place to check out. But is the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena part of your Li Family?"

Lu Jiuyuan agreed but asked with some curiosity.

Before Li Qingdi could speak, Li Qingping shook her head.

"No, although our Li Family reigns supreme in Yuanwu Kingdom, there are still many other families within the kingdom, some with even Tribulation Crossing Stage old monsters. The Heavenly Courage Beast Arena is an asset of the Chen Family."

Despite being the youngest princess, Li Qingping was not naive. She had already thoroughly investigated the current state of Yuanwu Kingdom a long time ago.

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan nodded. Wasn't this similar to the dynasties of his previous life?

Even though the imperial family was dominant, powerful families still existed.

"Since Brother Lu wants to have some fun, I'll cover all your expenses today."

Li Qingdi said with a smile. Lu Jiuyuan slightly bowed in response.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Brother Li."

Watching the two walk towards the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena, Li Qingping sighed and followed them. She actually quite disliked places like this.

At the entrance of the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena, two Nascent Soul Stage demonic beasts were tied up as guards. Behind these two demonic beasts stood a Guardian at the Nascent Soul Stage.

As one of the Chen Family's primary assets, the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena naturally had many great powers arranged within it.

When Lu Jiuyuan and his companions arrived, they saw a constant stream of people coming and going at the entrance. After all, it was the largest beast arena in the capital city, so it was inevitable that some people would come here to seek entertainment.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

Li Qingdi said, about to lead Lu Jiuyuan straight in. But at that moment, a strange voice came from the side.

"Yo, isn't this the Third Prince? What, the Third Prince has so much free time to visit a place like this?"

Hearing this voice, Li Qingdi couldn't help but frown. Li Qingping, however, spoke directly.

"What, if Miss Xue can come here, can't we?"

Lu Jiuyuan turned his head and saw a person with a seductive appearance, whose gender was unclear, had appeared behind them at some point.

It was obvious that the previous words had come from this person.

After Li Qingping finished speaking, she leaned into Lu Jiuyuan's ear and explained.

"This is the second young master of the Xue Family, Xue Chenyang. But for some reason, Xue Chenyang is quite effeminate, and since he's at odds with our Li Family, we don't get along."

Lu Jiuyuan understood after hearing the explanation. So it was a hermaphrodite.

With that thought, Lu Jiuyuan said with some disdain.

"Brother Li, I never expected to see such a strange specimen in your capital city. Not quite human, not quite ghost. He doesn't look like a man, and if you say he's a woman, he's completely flat-chested!"

As Lu Jiuyuan's words fell, Xue Chenyang's face turned furious.

"Kid, who exactly are you? I don't recall seeing you among the royal family."

Despite his anger, Xue Chenyang had some restraint. Someone treated so well by Li Qingdi was likely not simple. It was not a good time to make enemies for the Xue Family.

"What business is it of yours who I am? On the other hand, you are neither human nor ghost. I suppose your family is also full of such people."

Lu Jiuyuan said with disdain. At this moment, the Thousand Ghost King stood by Lu Jiuyuan's side. This was the capital Lu Jiuyuan could afford to be arrogant. If the other party dared to make a move, the Thousand Ghost King would directly eliminate him.

Of course, if they insulted Lu Jiuyuan, Lu Jiuyuan would also have the Thousand Ghost King eliminate them.

"Kid, you're too arrogant. I hope you can continue to be so arrogant!"

Xue Chenyang said resentfully, but before he could figure out Lu Jiuyuan's background, he chose to endure.

Just as Xue Chenyang was about to enter the Heavenly Courage Beast Arena, Lu Jiuyuan said lightly.

"Rotten ass!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Chenyang's footsteps faltered, and then he said with a cold expression.

"Kid, you'd better know when to stop!"

From his tone, it was clear that Xue Chenyang's anger had reached its limit. As Li Qingping was about to say something, she was stopped by a look from Li Qingdi. Thinking of Lu Jiuyuan's background, Li Qingping could only watch.

"I said you're a rotten ass, what about it?"

Lu Jiuyuan said expressionlessly. At this moment, Xue Chenyang laughed instead of getting angry.

"Fine, fine, fine. You insist on saying that, do you? Elder Xue, teach him a lesson!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Xue Chenyang decided not to hold back. After all, Lu Jiuyuan had insulted him first. Even if the Li Family held him accountable afterward, he would have no complaints.

As Xue Chenyang's words fell, black mist appeared beside him and rushed towards Lu Jiuyuan. This was the elder arranged by the Xue Family to protect Xue Chenyang.

After all, Xue Chenyang was the second young master, so it was reasonable to have protection.

When Elder Xue appeared, Li Qingdi's brow furrowed slightly. He was an elder at the early Body Integration Stage. Had the Xue Family's strength reached this level? The elder sent to protect Xue Chenyang was already at the Body Integration Stage.

However, Li Qingdi was not flustered at this moment, because he knew Lu Jiuyuan likely had a way to deal with it.

Elder Xue, on the other hand, had already arrived in front of Lu Jiuyuan and said coldly.

"Kid, watch your mouth in your next life!"

It was obvious that Lu Jiuyuan's insult to Xue Chenyang was something he couldn't accept. Insulting Xue Chenyang like this was a direct slap in the face to the Xue Family.

However, Lu Jiuyuan remained completely unfazed. His calm expression made Elder Xue uneasy. Is this kid relying on something, or is he just ignorant?

But since they had already made a move, there was no turning back now.

Just as Elder Xue was about to cripple Lu Jiuyuan, the Thousand Ghost King finally intervened.

By the time Elder Xue reacted, the Thousand Ghost King had already appeared before him.

"What!"

Elder Xue was stunned at first, but before he could react, the Thousand Ghost King had already grabbed him by the neck.

"Remember not to casually attack others in your next life!"

The Thousand Ghost King said coldly, and then Elder Xue was completely absorbed by him. However, his cultivation didn't break through at all. A cultivator at the early Body Integration Stage was like a drop of water in the ocean to the Thousand Ghost King.

Meanwhile, Xue Chenyang's smile remained, though it had become somewhat stiff. After realizing what was happening, his expression changed.

It was clear that he had also recognized the Thousand Ghost King at this point.

"Li Qingdi, how dare your royal family harbor a demonic cultivator? Are you trying to become a demonic force?"

Hearing this, Li Qingdi looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"Are you stupid? I never said he was one of ours. Which eye did you see him as part of our royal family with?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Chenyang thought about it and realized it was true. He had misunderstood Lu Jiuyuan's relationship with the royal family from the very beginning. However, the most important thing now was to survive, as in the current situation, there was no chance of escape!
