The Crown Prince came to the front of the army with his entourage and saw Hinata. He was a lecher himself, and the sight of her beauty immediately set his tongue wagging. "Well, well, I wasn't expecting a beauty. Little beauty, have you come to share my bed? Hahaha..."
Hinata frowned. "Are you the leader of these reinforcements?"
Xue Wuyi came to the Crown Prince's side and said worriedly, "Your Highness, this woman is clearly no ordinary opponent. You'll anger her by speaking like that."
The Crown Prince smiled confidently. "That's exactly what I want. She's clearly one of the seven involved in this incident, and the other six haven't appeared yet. If we capture her, the others won't dare act recklessly. This is an opportunity, Great General, and we mustn't let it slip away. Anger her, and she'll expose an opening. Then she'll be easier to capture."
"But this is still too dangerous," Xue Wuyi said. "We don't know how powerful she is. I can't help feeling we're taking too great a risk. Your Highness, you'd best withdraw to the rear with me."
The Crown Prince smiled. "It's fine. I, Xue Wuyi, am a mid-stage mortal realm expert, after all. This little girl can't be more than sixteen. How powerful could she possibly be? They must have used some trick to take the Capital. There's no need to worry, Great General."
Seeing that he had not answered her question, Hinata frowned and asked again, "Are you the leader of these troops? Answer me."
The Crown Prince smiled faintly. "Indeed I am. You..."
Before he could finish, Hinata vanished from his sight. As he stood bewildered, she suddenly appeared before him and thrust a palm at his heart. The Crown Prince was horrified to discover that he could not dodge.
