The Cowardly Crown Prince Yan

"That shouldn't be the case! Even without advancing, one should still gain some strength!" Zhang Yunji looked at Flame Emperor with some doubt and said.

"Let's try again." Chang Kong said with a furrowed brow. Although he was knowledgeable and experienced, his understanding of Pokémon was no different from theirs.

Zhang Yunji nodded and began leading Flame Emperor to hunt other tusked boars in the area; Chang Kong and Liu Ying followed behind, watching Flame Emperor roast the tusked boars along the way.

Liu Ying hugged Jigglypuff and muttered, "You said you were here to help Jigglypuff level up, but you took Flame Emperor to level up yourself. That's too much!"

"BoLi," Jigglypuff nestled in Liu Ying's arms, nodding in agreement.

"Jigglypuff, do you think so too?" Liu Ying asked happily when Jigglypuff suddenly agreed with her.

"Boo-hoo!" Jigglypuff nodded his big head happily.

"Hehe, Jigglypuff, you're so cute!" Liu Ying cupped Jigglypuff in her hands and laughed.

Being praised by its owner, Jigglypuff was very happy. It jumped up and broke free from Liu Ying's hand, falling to the ground.

A microphone appeared in Jigglypuff's hand with a 'whoosh'.

Liu Ying looked at Jigglypuff and said in surprise, "Jigglypuff, are you going to Sing for me?"

"Boohoo!" Jigglypuff jumped around with the microphone in his hand, saying happily.

"Great! I love listening to Jigglypuff Sing!" Liu Ying stopped moving, squatted down, propped her head up with her hands, looked at Jigglypuff, and said.

"Huh?" Chang Kong was walking ahead, suddenly realized that Liu Ying hadn't followed. He turned around and saw Liu Ying squatting there talking to Jigglypuff. He couldn't help but ask, "Liu Ying, what are you doing?"

Liu Ying pointed at Jigglypuff and said, "Master, Jigglypuff said she wants to Sing for me."

"Sing?" Chang Kong frowned, then his expression Chang Kong changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to speak.

But Jigglypuff's singing had already begun.

'Bo bo li bo bo bo li bo bo li bo'

"Mwah, mwah, mwah..."

Then, all the creatures within a radius that could hear Jigglypuff Sing were instantly Hypnosis.

Including Chang Kong, a great figure at the Spirit Emperor realm!

"Boli?" After finishing his song, Jigglypuff saw his owner lying asleep on the ground, so he hopped around Liu Ying.

Less than two miles from the Divine Bookstore, in front of the No. 66 mansion, Crown Prince Yan stood here.

Opposite to Crown Prince Yan, Yan Gexing coldly blocked his path.

"Let me in." Crown Prince Yan looked at Yan Gexing, who was blocking his way, and said in a deep voice.

"The general does not wish to see you," Yan Gexing replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You're going to stop me?" Crown Prince Yan's tone was somewhat harsh.

"I wouldn't dare," Yan Gexing shook his head.

"Then move aside."

"Please don't make things difficult for me," Yan Gexing, bowing his head.

Crown Prince Yan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he was about to lash out.

"Let him in," Luan Feng's voice came from inside the mansion.

Yan Gexing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately stepped aside.

Crown Prince Yan flicked his sleeves, straightened his clothes, and went inside.

Inside the hall, Crown Prince Yan and Luan Feng sat facing each other.

"Luan Feng, what brings you to the Chu Kingdom?" Crown Prince Yan asked in a gentle tone.

Luan Feng, still dressed in red, knelt on the ground, serving tea to Crown Prince Yan, and replied, "Reading."

Crown Prince Yan was taken aback and said, "Books from the Divine Bookstore?"

Luan Feng did not answer, but simply nodded.

"Could it be that Luan Feng, your secret technique for increasing the army's combat power was really obtained from the Divine Bookstore?" Crown Prince Yan asked with slight surprise.

Luan Feng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

Crown Prince Yan's face lit up with joy. He took out a special number from his spatial bag, placed it on the table, and said, "Luan Feng, look!"

Luan Feng glanced at the special number, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"Do you know who gave this to me?" Crown Prince Yan asked mysteriously.

Luan Feng remained silent, quietly brewing tea and listening.

Crown Prince Yan didn't mind and continued, "This was given to me by a mysterious person. He told me that he thinks highly of me and will be waiting for me at the Divine Bookstore."

Luan Feng finally raised her head, her sharp gaze fixed on Crown Prince Yan, and asked, "Very young?"

Crown Prince Yan was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Luan Feng was referring to, and nodded, saying, "Yes, he's very young; and he was accompanied by a woman, and their cultivation levels seemed exceptionally high, I couldn't even resist them."

Luan Feng was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why did he give you this?"

Crown Prince Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Actually, I came all the way to the Chu Kingdom this time to find him. Perhaps he is my last hope to reclaim the throne."

Along the way, Crown Prince Yan heard countless legends about the Divine Bookstore; coupled with Luan Feng's earlier statement that the secret technique for increasing the army's combat power also originated from books, he now had inexplicable confidence in the Divine Bookstore, even subconsciously mythologizing it and believing that the Divine Bookstore was omnipotent.

It's like a person on the verge of despair grasping at a straw, believing it to be hope, hoping that this straw can save them.

"When do you plan to go?" Luan Feng asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Yan said, "I was planning to go today, but it seems the Divine Bookstore has a rule that it's closed on weekends; tomorrow is Monday, so I plan to go early tomorrow morning."

Luan Feng nodded and said nothing more.

Crown Prince Yan didn't know what else to say, so the two fell into a brief silence.

"Luan Feng..." Crown Prince Yan looked at Luan Feng and called out softly.

"Hmm," Luan Feng replied expressionlessly.

"Have you really given up on me?" Crown Prince Yan finally couldn't help but voice the question in his heart.

Luan Feng paused, her hand holding the teacup still, and shook her head, saying, "I have neither soldiers nor power, so how can I talk about giving up?"

Crown Prince Yan shook his head, looked at Luan Feng, and said, "I know. If you want, the Luanfeng Army is yours."

"You flatter me too much," Luan Feng said calmly.

With a 'slap,' Crown Prince Yan grabbed Luan Feng's hand, and Luan Feng was startled.

"Luan Feng, we grew up together since we were little. You should know my abilities. Only under my leadership can Great Yan become stronger. I hope you will trust me one more time and help me reclaim the throne, okay?" Crown Prince Yan pleaded.

Luan Feng gazed at Crown Prince Yan.

Under that sharp gaze, Crown Prince Yan shrank back, subconsciously withdrawing his hand from Luan Feng and averting his gaze from Luan Feng.

"Too cowardly!" Once upon a time, the man before her was the object of her lifelong admiration, but now...

Luan Feng sighed inwardly and said, "You should go."

"Luan Feng!" Crown Prince Yan exclaimed anxiously.

"Boom!"

A powerful killing intent emanated from the Luan Feng and rushed straight towards Crown Prince Yan.

"Ah!"

Crown Prince Yan was so frightened that he fell backward and tumbled over.

His face was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Luan Feng stood up indifferently, not even glancing at Crown Prince Yan, and walked straight outside.
