The Grand Princess Requests

Looking at their second young lady in such a pitiful state.

And sensing the killing intent emanating from the guards of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

The two elders of the Liu family didn't dare to confront the people from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate at all.

They hurriedly prepared to leave with Liu Ruyan.

Before they could even move, a dark figure appeared and blocked their path.

"Your Liu family is audacious enough to come to my Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to break off an engagement."

"Do you think it's that easy to leave unscathed?"

A bloodthirsty smile flickered across Tu Xiu's lips.

With a flash of light.

The two Liu family elders each had either their left or right leg broken.

Even their mounts had their third leg severed.

"Get lost!"

"Scram as far away as you can. If I ever see you scumbags again, you won't be as lucky as you were today."

After finishing this, Tu Xiu swaggered away.

Leaving only the two Liu family elders groaning on the ground, powerless.

The two Liu family elders struggled to their feet in a sorry state.

Even now, they were still trembling with fear.

Despite having a broken leg, they didn't dare to show any anger, nor did they dare to lift their heads.

Only after Tu Xiu's figure had completely disappeared from their sight did the two of them muster a little courage.

"What exactly does the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis want? Why would he treat our Liu family like this?"

"Yeah, this is going too far."

The two Liu family elders couldn't understand why Qin Anlan's attitude had changed so drastically.

Even if the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis didn't want to break the engagement, he shouldn't have let things get this bad.

Breaking their legs was a minor issue.

The most important thing was that they had turned their second young lady, Liu Ruyan, into this state, rendering her completely useless.

That's right.

Their second young lady, Liu Ruyan.

The two Liu family elders suddenly remembered.

Their second young lady was still lying on the ground, her life or death uncertain.

Without any time to think further.

The two of them scrambled over to check on Liu Ruyan's injuries.

"Second young lady, how are you?"

"Second young lady, are you alright?"

"Second young lady, what exactly happened? Why would the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis treat you like this?"

Their hearts were already in turmoil, and their faces were filled with panic.

"Quick... quick, send... send me home."

Liu Ruyan's face was deathly pale, and her body felt weak.

She looked as if she had no energy left and was on the verge of death.

These few words were almost gritted out through clenched teeth, with all the strength she could muster.

The two dared not delay. They urged their severely injured mounts and rushed towards the Liu family.

Lying in the carriage, Liu Ruyan felt her heart turn to dust.

She had completely lost the will to live.

Her cultivation had been crippled by Qin Anlan.

The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate's supreme treasure, the Bone-Severing Finger, had its created bones forcibly dug out.

Her Skyflame Phoenix Blood had been completely drained.

Now, Liu Ruyan had become a complete cripple, and she would never be able to cultivate again in her life.

With her current state, she wondered if her Senior Brother Ye Qingyun would still look down on her, and if he would still be with her, Liu Ruyan.

Even Liu Ruyan had no certainty.

Qin Anlan's attitude had changed from that of a sycophant to treating her in such a way.

How would he deal with their Liu family then?

Thinking this, Liu Ruyan completely lost her nerve.

A sudden, bone-chilling cold swept through her entire body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

The next second.

She felt a sweetness in her mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

She immediately fainted.

"Ding! Host has crippled the heroine Liu Ruyan's cultivation, extracted the heroine's spiritual root and Skyflame Phoenix Blood, and angered the heroine to the point of fainting. The host's actions align with villainous behavior. Host has gained 100,000 Villain Points and 1,000 Destiny Points."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully shedding the 'simp' label. Host has successfully activated the Novice Gift Package."

Two system notifications sounded in Qin Anlan's mind.

One hundred thousand Villain Points, plus the activation of the Novice Gift Package.

As a necessary item for any transmigrator, how could he, Qin Anlan, miss out on this?

A slight smile played on Qin Anlan's lips.

Just as he was about to receive the Novice Gift Package, a servant arrived at the door to report.

"Reporting to Young Lord, the Grand Princess has an emergency. Please hurry to the Grand Princess's palace."

The Grand Princess?

She was the own sister of Emperor Xuanyuan of the Heavenly Flame Empire, the wife of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo, and also Qin Anlan's biological mother.

The Grand Princess had an urgent matter and needed to see him?

Qin Anlan frowned deeply.

It was likely about Liu Ruyan.

Surrounded by his entourage, Qin Anlan headed towards the Grand Princess's chambers.

The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate occupied an extremely vast area, spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Terrifying and ancient auras were hidden in various parts of the estate.

These were the numerous powerful individuals under the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's command, diligently cultivating within the estate.

Did the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate have tens of thousands of disciples?

It not only included the Qin family's descendants but also many disciples who had joined the estate to cultivate, as well as numerous experts recruited by the estate.

Although the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate was merely a marquis's estate, it was, in fact, a sect.

A sect with an ancient lineage.

Once these disciples achieved success in their cultivation, they would be qualified to hold certain positions within the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate and serve it.

The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate would then grant them corresponding rewards based on their strength, position, and contributions to the estate.

It wasn't just the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Many noble families' estates and meritorious families were independent sects in themselves.

It was precisely the existence of these noble families and numerous sects that formed the current vast Heavenly Flame Empire.

Qin Anlan and his entourage moved majestically towards a mysterious and highly respected palace.

Along the way, numerous disciples, maids, and guards of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate saw Qin Anlan and respectfully bowed to him.

The reason was simple.

As the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate and the future Divine Marquis, Qin Anlan held a noble and unshakeable status.

He was their young master now and would be their lord in the future, so they naturally admired him immensely.

Furthermore, Qin Anlan possessed extraordinary talent, already being an expert in the Emperor Realm in his early twenties.

He was a rare existence across the entire Northern Underworld Continent.

Such status, position, and talent truly commanded their respect.

Perhaps only his actions as a simp over the past three years.

had altered the impression these people held of Qin Anlan.

The group walked for a short while before arriving at the depths of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

The palace before them was grand, stretching for hundreds of miles, exuding immense majesty and magnificence.

The surroundings of the palace were filled with auspicious clouds, and the spiritual energy was abundant, surpassing any mortal realm.

This was the residence of the main wife of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, the current Grand Princess of the Heavenly Flame Empire.

All the servants attending the Grand Princess in this palace were eunuchs and maids brought from the imperial palace by the Grand Princess herself.

Due to their imperial palace origins, these individuals carried a certain arrogance, considering themselves superior.

Therefore, the ordinary guards and maids of the marquis's estate dared not approach this palace.

The palace became exceptionally lively with Qin Anlan's arrival.

The many maids, upon seeing their Young Lord, Their originally proud faces immediately turned warm and approachable.

With a faint smile, they bowed to Qin Anlan, "Greetings, Young Lord."

Just then, a terrifying aura rapidly swept in.

A palace woman in her forties, dressed in palace attire, stepped out of the void and walked towards Qin Anlan.

"Young Lord, you've finally arrived. The Grand Princess has been waiting here quite anxiously."

The palace woman's skin was like congealed fat, so delicate it seemed it could break with a flick of a finger.

She exuded an extremely powerful aura, like an abyss, making her unfathomable.

If one didn't know better, they might compare this woman before them to Liu Ruyan.

In terms of demeanor, figure, and appearance, she was in no way inferior to Liu Ruyan, And perhaps even surpassed her.

Qin Anlan knew very well that the person standing before him was not a young girl in her late teens or early twenties.

This person was named Aunt Yun, and she had followed his mother since childhood, being one of the Grand Princess's few confidantes.

When the Grand Princess married into the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, she brought Aunt Yun along to manage all affairs in the Grand Princess's palace.

Furthermore, Aunt Yun was also a powerhouse in the Divine Venerable Realm.
