Ancient County Princess

The two of them sat down.

Wang Yue took out a jar of old wine, slapped open the mud seal, and the aroma of the wine immediately filled the air.

He poured a bowl for Chen Wang and then poured one for himself.

The two of them used those large bowls; an ordinary person would be knocked out after drinking just one bowl.

But as soon as they clinked glasses, Wang Yue said with great enthusiasm, "Come on, brother, it's been a long time! Let's have a drink!"

Wang Yue and Chen Wang drank their drinks in one gulp, displaying great gusto. The meal was very enjoyable, and Chen Wang also felt a sense of relief.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two of them went to the living room.

Wang Yue lived in a rather remote place, not as elegant as Elder Luo's place, which had a carefree and leisurely atmosphere, like picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence and gazing at the southern mountains.

The two were quite drunk. Wang Yue leaned back lazily in his chair and said with a smile, "How have you been? Has anything happened lately?"

During dinner, the two of them were so focused on eating and drinking that they didn't talk about anything serious.

Upon hearing Wang Yue's question, Chen Wang immediately recounted the recent events.

Wang Yue nodded. "The Profound Yin Sect is really patient. Are they planning to give up?"

Wang Yue smiled and said, "No, those bastards will never give up easily if they don't achieve their goal."

Chen Wang said, "Brother Wang, yesterday when I went into the mountains, I met a person in the valley. She was wearing a mask and her name was Flower Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue frowned. "Flower Immortal? I know this person. She was originally a member of the Profound Yin Sect, but now she exists in name only. However, she still secretly makes some deals with the Profound Yin Sect."

He looked at Chen Wang and asked, "You ran into her?"

He left Chen Wang the Green Ox Sword. As long as Chen Wang rides the Green Ox Sword and soars into the sky, even the Flower Immortal shouldn't be able to stop him.

Moreover, Chen Wang was standing unharmed in front of him, so he must be alright.

Therefore, Wang Yue asked the question relatively easily.

Chen Wang nodded. "I killed her."

Wang Yue: "..."

He was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "You killed her? With your abilities?"

He knew Chen Wang's strength. Although he had given him the Green Ox Sword, Chen Wang could not master it at will for a short time. The Flower Immortal was already famous and at least in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Chen Wang would never be her match.

Chen Wang didn't hide anything and told the whole story.

Wang Yue was drunk, his face flushed, and he couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Chen Wang's description.

"So that's how it is. This person was far too arrogant!"

"That woman is crazy and unpredictable, and she especially likes handsome young men. Perhaps she was attracted to you because of your appearance."

Chen Wang's lips twitched.

Wang Yue looked him up and down and nodded. "That's right, that should be it. Feng Qi is nothing. He's nothing in her eyes, even though he's a famous expert."

"Women are inherently difficult to get along with, and crazy women are even more so. She must have taken a liking to you, or at least wants to play with you."

Wang Yue's words were extremely blunt and explicit.

Chen Wang smiled upon hearing this, "This woman is quite good-looking, with a delicate appearance. If you met her outside, you really wouldn't be able to tell that she is the ruthless Flower Immortal."

Wang Yue's eyes lit up. "Where's the body? Let me see."

His appearance made Chen Wang suspicious. "Brother Wang, you just got back, how about I take you to the brothels in the Market to cool off? There's no need for the corpse, is there?"

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed, "Pah, you brat, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm a respectable person, why would I be interested in a corpse!"

"I just want to see what she looks like."

Chen Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Old Wang wasn't that abnormal.

He explained, "I smashed her head and cut her body into pieces."

Then Chen Wang waved his hand, and a pile of severed limbs appeared on the ground.

Wang Yue frowned immediately.

"Put it away quickly. We just finished eating. Don't let me see this. I don't like fighting and killing."

Chen Wang's lips twitched. So this is what they mean by disliking fighting and killing!

Wang Yue slapped his forehead and laughed, "You're really ruthless, kid. You killed her and then beat the body up like this. Are you afraid she'll come back to life?"

Chen Wang nodded. "This person's cultivation Cultivation Method is rather Evil Qi and unpredictable. I'm not sure what abilities she actually possesses."

Wang Yue stroked his chin and laughed, "You little rascal!"

He chuckled and then fell silent.

Chen Wang then recounted Feng Lin's story.

"Brother Wang, I took her in. I didn't kill her to silence her. I just plan to take her with me when I go to establish my own power base in the future."

If it were any other teacher, Chen Wang would never have said such a thing, but Wang Yue had no taboos and didn't care at all. He just smiled and said, "You can handle this yourself. Why kill her? If she's not bad looking, you might as well take her into your household."

Chen Wang was taken aback. "She practiced the Joyous Union Art. After her husband died in the Market, her personality changed drastically. I thought she was possessed by an evil spirit, so I was quite wary of her."

Wang Yue said, "A drastic change in temperament is not necessarily caused by possession. It can also happen after being stimulated, or when an ordinary person suddenly gets an opportunity, and their hidden personality will be exposed."

Chen Wang was taken aback. "She seemed quite proper at first, but then she took the initiative to seduce me. Could this be a hidden aspect of her personality?"

Wang Yue blinked. "I can only say that you're good-looking, kid. You have a handsome face and don't look threatening at all. If I were a woman, I might also be attracted to Little White like you."

Judging from the many carvings of women with different appearances in Wang Yue's room, he was extremely skilled in this art, perhaps even more so than in his cultivation.

Just as he was about to launch into a long lecture to his younger brother about enjoying life to the fullest, he was drawn to the Altar Suppressing Wood and jade hairpin in Chen Wang's hands.

"The Altar Suppressing Wood is a treasure for casting Thunder Method, capable of suppressing ghosts and evil spirits."

He was a skilled fighter and instantly understood the Flower Immortal's intention.

He simply said, "She really is a crazy woman. Although she can deal with her fellow practitioners, she can't unleash her full strength, which is a bit of a loss."

"Wouldn't it be better to defeat your opponent in the same field?"

Whenever he talked about battle, he would boast wildly, something Chen Wang was already used to.

Especially now that he's had a few drinks, looking around, even the Old Ancestor of the Red Cloud Sect is no match for Old Wang now; he's just an old man.

Chen Wang said, "I already have a Spirit Artifact, but the Green Ox Sword has not yet been refined. I will give this Altar Suppressing Wood to Brother Wang."

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then said, his breath reeking of alcohol, "This is Spirit Artifact, and you're just giving it to me like this?"

Chen Wang said seriously, "We're like brothers, inseparable."

Wang Yue laughed loudly, "Good, good, good, you're a real friend!"

Then he patted Chen Wang on the shoulder, his face full of admiration.

My little brother is really something; he even thought of me after finding the treasure.

The man, who reeked of alcohol, felt a slight touch of emotion.

However, he then shook his head. "You should use the Spirit Artifact yourself. This thing is extremely yang and powerful. If you encounter someone skilled in ghost arts in the future, you will be able to restrain him. It is the most suitable thing for you."

Chen Wang was about to say something when Wang Yue interrupted him, "There's no need to talk about this anymore. What is this Jade Hairpin?"

Wang Yue then picked up the Jade Hairpin. It was icy cold to the touch, and he frowned, as if he had sobered up a bit.

Old Wang's expression turned somewhat serious.

"Yo ho!"

He raised an eyebrow, Chen Wang quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Yue clicked his tongue. "You mean a Princess is sealed inside?"

Chen Wang said, "I heard it from Feng Lin, but I don't know the specifics."

Wang Yue stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Interesting. This yin object is rather unusual."

He then looked up at Chen Wang, frowned, and said, "By the way, you said earlier that the Flower Immortal put this hairpin in her hair during the battle?"

Chen Wang nodded. "That's right."

Wang Yue suddenly smiled, "She paused for a moment during the battle earlier, right? That's why she couldn't block the Green Ox Sword and was beheaded with one strike."

Chen Wang just recounted the battle, but he didn't go into too much detail about that part.

That was just a feeling he had for a moment.

What if his Sword Control Technique was exceptionally advanced, and the Flower Immortal hadn't reacted in time? But given Wang Yue's question, he already had a guess in his mind.

It really was about that Jade Hairpin.

Wang Yue sneered, "That woman really is a madwoman. Isn't she courting death?"

"The seal on this Jade Hairpin is not completely sealed, and this evil object is very special, as it can emit a trace of power. It will surely betray her at a crucial moment."

Wang Yue discerned the Jade Hairpin's secrets almost immediately after acquiring it.

Chen Wang felt a chilling wind blowing through the room, and a thick, eerie Yin Qi emanated from it.

He instantly sobered up, the effects of the alcohol subsided considerably, and cold sweat broke out on his body. It was an extremely dense Yin Qi.

Chen Wang was immediately startled.

A chilling wind blew through the room. In this place of abundant Spiritual Qi on Green Bamboo Peak, it was extremely rare to encounter such things as ghostly winds and eerie atmospheres.

But at that moment, the temperature in the entire room dropped significantly.

Chen Wang was completely sober. He held the Talisman Paper in his hand and said, "Be careful!"

Then a woman appeared in the room. She was dressed exquisitely, with strikingly beautiful features, and looked as if she were untouched by worldly affairs.

She wore a long, floor-length dress, exuding an air of nobility, unlike an ordinary person.

She didn't even seem like a cultivator; instead, she seemed like a member of the royal family of a secular dynasty. This was none other than that ancient Princess!

The moment this thought crossed Chen Wang's mind, he realized that his body was extremely cold. He immediately circulated his Qi and Blood to alleviate the coldness.

The next moment, Wang Yue shouted, "Go back! This is not a place for you!"

His tone was icy, and although he reeked of alcohol, he inexplicably exuded a chilling aura.

Chen Wang felt his mind become much clearer.

The woman then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared unwillingly into the Jade Hairpin.

The Yin Qi in the room vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.

Wang Yue reached out and drew a talisman in the air. A golden talisman was formed and quickly imprinted on the Jade Hairpin.

The way the talisman was drawn completely stunned Chen Wang!

"Void Drawing Talisman."

Chen Wang's eyes widened.

Old Wang used to say he was pretty good at drawing talismans, and Chen Wang just thought he might be a little better than him. But now it seemed they weren't even on the same level! Realizing this, he immediately asked, "Brother Wang, what happened?"

Wang Yue said, "Just as I said, the evil spirits here are extraordinary. Ordinary seals cannot contain them at all. The Flower Immortal's methods are too complicated. She thought she had sealed her, but she was far from it. The seal on the jade hairpin will gradually open. When she fought you earlier, her body stiffened for a moment, which was when she was countered by the Jade Hairpin."

"You obtained this item yesterday, and after a night of revival, the seal inside has loosened considerably, allowing this woman to manifest."

He winked at Chen Wang: "Luckily you showed me this thing, otherwise if you took it out again next time, this woman might possess you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wang gasped in shock. "This is so bizarre!"

Wang Yue asked with some curiosity, "What exactly was Green Crane True Immortal doing in his later years, and where did he find these things?"

"Now I'm actually quite curious about his tomb."

Chen Wang said, "Brother Wang, I know you are much more capable than I thought. I can't even begin to compare to your talisman-drawing skills just now, so your other skills must be even greater."

"But this tomb is really unlucky. I'm afraid there's something inside that even you can't handle, and something bad might happen."

Wang Yue was taken aback, then smiled at Chen Wang with relief, "Don't worry, I've done plenty of petty theft... no, exploring ruins, nothing will happen to me, and I won't act rashly."

Chen Wang nodded.

Wang Yue glanced at the Jade Hairpin and said, "Keep this here for now. I need to study it carefully before returning it to you."

Chen Wang immediately said, "Brother Wang, you should keep it. This thing is extremely unlucky."

Wang Yue shook his head. "This is your fortuitous opportunity. How could I covet your things? I'll study it first. If there's still danger, I'll have to destroy or suppress it."

Chen Wang nodded.

The fact that the woman who suddenly appeared just now was enough to make him feel uneasy, even though she was just standing there without making a move.

"This woman is so fierce that even the Flower Immortal couldn't handle her, and at the crucial moment, she even turned against her."

Recalling the woman's elegant and noble demeanor from earlier, Chen Wang couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

"What kind of Princess could possess such a powerful aura?"

Wang Yue's gaze fell on the Blood Soul Pearl, and he said with a smile, "As expected, the bold get rich while the timid starve. You're a steady guy, and you've managed to get so many treasures in one big deal."

"I have the same style I had when I was young; I don't hesitate to take action when the time is right."

Wang Yue looked at him with great admiration, as if he were looking at his younger self.

Chen Wang's eyes lit up and he said, "This bead must be a treasure."

Wang Yue nodded. "Although the name Blood Soul Pearl sounds rather Evil Qi, it is a valuable treasure for cultivators."

"It contains extremely rich Yin Qi, which is of great use to those who cultivate Yin-attribute Cultivation Method, and also has a neutralizing effect on those who cultivate some domineering fire-attribute Cultivation Method."

Chen Wang asked, "Brother Wang, what is the attribute of the Niwanzhen Preservation Art you taught me?"

Wang Yue said, "It should be considered a relatively moderate and peaceful attribute."

Chen Wang hesitated and asked, "Then this means it has no attributes?"

Wang Yue sighed, "I take back what I just said. You're even dumber than I was when I was young. If you put it in a trade, you could get a good price at auction, right?"

Chen Wang suddenly realized.

I was so startled by the woman in the hairpin that I didn't come to my senses for a moment.
