Helping Me Cripple the Little Wolf King

Fang Jiuding's words caused Lu Chen's heart to tremble slightly.

Tianyu Academy is indeed extraordinary, with disciples at the Nascent Soul stage. No wonder they hold more sway than the royal family.

"Right, I heard that Lu Ran, who stole your bloodline, not only awakened his Spiritual Power but also advanced to the third level of the Golden Core Realm, with his martial arts also reaching the third level."

"A few days ago, he even threatened to deal with you. But after news of your tribulation spread, he fell silent. You should be careful of this kid. The last time he left, Tianyu sent people from the dark division after you, but you know the result – they couldn't find you!"

Lu Chen let out a cold snort. If they had found him, he would have definitely taught them an unforgettable lesson.

"As for the other three kingdoms' prodigies, they haven't revealed too much. However, each of them has put forward a monstrous talent who is challenging fighters all over the capital."

"It's been three days, and they haven't lost a single match in ten days!"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Has no one from Tianyu Academy stepped forward?"

Fang Jiuding sneered, "The pressure is on the royal family, not them. They're welcoming it!"

Lu Chen rubbed his temples forcefully. "This is hardly a place for nurturing people!"

"You can say that again!" Fang Jiuding shrugged. Then, as if remembering something, he said:

"Oh, and one more thing that has greatly angered the Great Yan royal family. Wolf Court wants to form an alliance with them and has set its sights on the Peerless Princess!"

"Ah... ah?" Lu Chen was stunned.

Although he hadn't met the Peerless Princess, her name was legendary.

She was the Great Yan's young marshal, and its sole royal heir. In the future, she would be the Queen of Great Yan!

Wolf Court actually wanted an alliance marriage, this was unbelievable...

"Not only the Great Liang and Great Qi agreed, but the crucial point is that the Heavenly Dao Academy from above also gave their approval. The Great Yan royal family's heads must be spinning."

Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. "Heavenly Dao Academy, did they send people too?"

Fang Jiuding nodded. "They are the hosts and witnesses of this martial arts competition. I heard there are rewards for first place, it seems to be quite grand!"

"Is marrying the Crown Prince to Wolf Court a move to annex Great Yan into Wolf Court?"

Lu Chen muttered, looking at Old Ancestor Tianyan with confusion. "Is that really the case?"

Old Ancestor Tianyan chuckled. "It's just talk. They're trying to provoke Great Yan, or perhaps some people want to use it to stir up trouble!"

Lu Chen was taken aback, asking in surprise, "Do you know something?"

Old Ancestor Tianyan waved his hand. "I'm old, I'm not interested in these things!"

After speaking, his eyes lit up. "They're here!"

The three of them looked towards the mountain gate simultaneously.

Old Ancestor Tianyan waved his hand, and a figure entered the mountain gate, walking up the steps.

Lu Chen suddenly stood up, his expression excited, and rushed over like a gust of wind.

"Haha, Yun Niang, I've missed you so much!"

Saying that, he opened his arms and lunged to embrace her.

Yun Niang dodged.

Lu Chen also dodged, closing his arms and hugging her tightly.

"Let go!" Yun Niang's composure broke, her eyes trembling. Lu Chen could feel her body shaking.

"Look, you're so excited you can barely stand. You rushed over because you knew I was back, didn't you?"

Lu Chen stared intently into Yun Niang's eyes, as if trying to see through her.

Yun Niang's heart trembled under his gaze, and she felt like she was indeed about to lose her footing.

She pleaded, "Please let me go, okay? I have something important to tell you!"

Lu Chen tightened his arms, took a deep breath through his nose, put on a look of intoxication, and before her knees could connect with him, he quickly let go and retreated three meters.

Fang Jiuding, Xiong Yao, and even Old Ancestor Tianyan were so shocked their eyeballs nearly fell out.

Old Ancestor Tianyan, in particular, had an extremely strange expression.

He knew the past between the two, of course, but...

So straightforward, this brat... how could he be so explosive!

Yun Niang glanced at the three of them, nodded slightly, and then said coldly, "Follow me!"

Lu Chen acted as if nothing had happened, grinning. "I knew you had something private to tell me!"

"Can you be serious for once? You're so annoying!"

"Ah! Ah?" Lu Chen was stunned. "No... no, you're annoyed to see me?"

Yun Niang was furious and turned to kick out, but missed.

Seeing that she was on the verge of tears, Lu Chen chuckled sheepishly and followed her to a cliff.

Yun Niang looked at the swirling clouds and mist on the mountainside and said, "Is the outside rumor true, that the tribulation of over ten people was transferred to you?"

Lu Chen smiled. "It's not a rumor."

"Confirm!" Yun Niang turned her head to look at him.

Lu Chen shrugged.

Yun Niang took a deep breath, "I want to ask you for a favor!"

Lu Chen blinked, "Are you being formal with me? With our relationship, why be polite? Just say it!"

"Cripple the Little Wolf King, Di Kun, from the Wolf Court!"

Lu Chen's scalp tingled, "He saw your true face?"

Yun Niang shook her head, "We can't let the Peerless Princess marry him."

Lu Chen froze, and asked in surprise, "You know the Peerless Princess?"

"I'm her maid. If the Princess marries Di Kun, I'll have to go with her as part of the dowry!"

Pfft!

Lu Chen spat out his drink, his expression turning solemn. "First, tell me if you can cripple him. And even if you succeed, will the situation spiral out of control?"

"Don't worry about that. The Princess will ensure that after you kill him, no one will have anything to say!"

"But what's in it for me? After all, I and... Fine, I promise!"

Seeing Yun Niang look at him, Lu Chen's heart trembled.

That look was truly heartbreaking.

"This is a whirlpool!" Yun Niang hesitated before saying.

Actually, she was extremely conflicted.

She really didn't want Lu Chen to face those monsters so early, but she had no choice.

If things were settled like this, it would be over.

Lu Chen suddenly grabbed Yun Niang's hand and said in a deep voice:

"I don't care about the Princess or not. But if you have to go with her as part of the dowry, even if the King of Heaven himself came, I'll drag him down!"

"A bunch of trash, targeting women, what a disgrace!"

Yun Niang's heart trembled slightly, and she stammered, "You... you've agreed!"

"What do you think? I can't just watch you become part of the dowry, can I? You're my darling!"

"You..." Yun Niang was extremely embarrassed and, suppressing her shyness, stuffed an invitation into Lu Chen's hand:

"In three days, the Peerless Palace will hold a banquet for the prodigies. I'm leaving!"

"Leaving where!" Lu Chen grabbed her from behind. "I've been looking for you in Yan Bei for two months, and now that we've finally met..."

"I still have a lot to do!" Yun Niang forcefully pulled her hand away.

Slap!

A heavy slap landed on her backside.

The sound was like thunder, leaving the three people watching from afar stunned.

Old Ancestor Tianyan almost rolled off the roof.

"Junior Brother is awesome, but that style... Damn!" Fang Jiuding was full of admiration.

"You don't know anything. Not judging someone by their appearance, that's true character!" Xiong Yao shot Fang Jiuding a look.

Yun Niang was stunned by the slap. Seeing the three of them watching from afar, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"You're going to get me killed."

"It's because of you! Who just walks away after using someone?"

"You..." Yun Niang was furious.

She hadn't even been used yet!

But Lu Chen still dragged her to the back of the mountain.

They sat down side by side. Lu Chen forcefully rested her head on his shoulder, his arm around her waist.

Yun Niang's resistance was futile, so she leaned into him.

Her heart pounded like a deer's, and she was so dizzy she didn't even know what she was doing.

The immense stimulation made her lose control.

Lu Chen's wild words and actions had a huge impact on her.

"Did you miss me?" Lu Chen suddenly asked.

"No... No!"

"Tell me the truth!"

"No... just a tiny bit!" Seeing Lu Chen tighten his grip on her waist, Yun Niang quickly said.

Lu Chen grinned, "I missed you a lot. I thought you were in Cangwu City, but after asking around, there was no one by your name!"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently lifted Yun Niang's mask.
