The Longwind Divine Dynasty Had No Shortage of Lives

At the same time.

After storming out of Qin Baiyi's residence, the Third Princess Qin Mingqi returned to her own mansion.

As soon as she entered, Maid came forward to help her remove her outer robe, but she brushed her off with a wave of her sleeve.

"Roll!!"

After saying that, she walked straight into the courtyard at great speed, the wind whistling in her ears.

"What's wrong? Not doing well with the recruitment?"

An aged voice, tinged with amusement, then came from under the eaves.

The old man in Baiyi was sitting there. When he saw her return, he casually put down his teacup.

This man's name is Bai Jingshan, and he is the royal family's Fortune-Mastery.

He was the one who guided Qin Mingqi when she first began her cultivation.

Within this princess's residence, only he and the old man guarding Qin Baiyi were able to joke with Qin Mingqi at such a time.

"She's so ungrateful!"

Qin Mingqi sat down on the chair next to him, growing angrier with each passing thought, and said:

"I went there personally and prepared all the necessary clothes, Magic Treasure, and salary for her."

And the result?

"You keep saying you're leaving, you don't give me any face at all, you've really grown up!"

Before she could finish speaking, she slammed her hand heavily on the table, gritting her teeth as she said:

"If I hadn't heard that she was on good terms with that Ye Li, and dared to speak to me like that, I would have wiped out her entire clan!!"

Bai Jingshan gently shook his head, showing no sign of surprise, and comforted him:

Why should Your Highness bother with her?

"Having spent several years abroad and witnessed some absurd customs in other continents, it's inevitable that some inappropriate thoughts will arise."

"She'll naturally mature when she realizes those rules don't apply in the Longwind Divine Dynasty."

"But she's giving me the cold shoulder right now!"

"Let her set it up for a while."

Bai Jingshan smiled and poured her tea, "She's in the manor now, and her parents are under house arrest. What can she possibly do?"

"What Your Highness wants is not Qin Baiyi."

"..."

Qin Mingqi took the teacup, and the heaving in her chest finally calmed down a little.

After a moment of silence, she asked:

"That Ye Li... is he really worth my efforts to recruit?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jingshan's smile faded slightly.

"It's worth it, even several times more worthwhile than Your Highness imagined!"

"At only twenty years old, he already possesses the ability to kill a peak cultivator at the Fortune-Mastery Sixth Layer. Looking back at the history of the Divine Dynasty, which previous emperor could have accomplished such a feat?"

Qin Mingqi pursed her lips.

She had certainly read those battle reports.

She found it hard to believe every time she saw it, and it also worried her that this arrogant personality was too strong to be controlled.

Bai Jingshan continued:

"Even if Your Highness is pretending now, you must at least put on a good show."

Whether Qin Baiyi is willing to stay or not is secondary.

"But when Ye Li arrives, Qin Baiyi must not appear to be suffering greatly. Only in this way will you have the opportunity to ask the Emperor to act as matchmaker."

Listen to his advice.

The irritation in Qin Mingqi's eyes subsided considerably.

She raised her hand to brush the strands of hair that had fallen over her shoulder behind her back, and hummed softly:

Okay.

"For Ye Li's sake, I'll forgive her this time."

She had seen Ye Li's portrait before.

I initially thought that the Supreme Clarity Palace had deliberately made the paintings more attractive to promote their own Palace Heir.

After looking at the photos again, I realized that the person really did look like that.

In addition, there was that unprecedented talent...

Qin Mingqi held the teacup, her expression gradually relaxing, and swung her legs as she said:

"I hope Qin Baiyi can really get him to come over, then it will be my turn to show my skills."

As she spoke, she exuded an extraordinary and ethereal beauty that drew attention and inspired admiration.

"It's so good that Your Highness thinks that way."

Bai Jingshan smiled and echoed:

"Given Your Highness's status and with His Majesty's approval, this matter is open to discussion. Longwind Divine Dynasty is not without precedent for women ruling..."

Qin Mingqi was delighted to hear this, and immediately waved her hand to let the matter drop for the time being, then said:

"I'll go over there again later and say a few words of comfort to her."

"Don't these lower-level cultivators love it when we condescend to befriend them?"

"I will grant her her wish."

She's willing to humble herself one more time; surely Qin Baiyi should know when to stop.

"Old Bai, have someone keep a close eye on Ye Li's movements. Inform me immediately if he comes to the Longwind Divine Dynasty!"

"Your Highness, please rest assured."

Bai Jingshan first nodded in agreement, then, as if remembering something, changed the subject and said:

Oh, right, there's one more thing.

"That rare, Sky-Treading Silver Lion you had your eye on earlier has made a move."

"Really?!"

Qin Mingqi raised her head, a hint of joy immediately appearing in her eyes.

It is not surprising that the Longwind Divine Dynasty royal family likes to keep Demon Race as pets.

Riding Great Demon when traveling not only demonstrates one's status but also inspires awe in visiting cultivators.

But the one she had her eye on was far from being an ordinary demon.

Its entire body is silver-white, with golden markings on its eyebrows.

Not only have they achieved Fortune-Mastery, but they also possess the innate supernatural Divine Ability to traverse the void!

If you can tame it, riding it around in the future will definitely attract a lot of attention!

It's a pity.

The two guards sent by the manor were confident that they could join forces to kill him, but they were unable to capture him alive.

If anything goes wrong, the silver lion will use its Divine Ability to escape.

If I were to use excessive force, I fear I might damage the body and compromise its appearance.

Later, someone suggested choosing a city teeming with life as bait, setting up an array in advance, and waiting for it to enter on its own.

This matter has dragged on for several years now, but finally there's new information!

"They've already caught them?"

Qin Mingqi put down her teacup and asked excitedly.

"Not yet."

Bai Jingshan shook his head. "That beast is more cautious than expected. Every time it comes out to eat people, it will linger nearby for a long time first."

"At the slightest sign of trouble, it immediately moves on to another city to look for a solution."

"The Linze City in the Southern Region holds a prominent position, and many people have died because of it these days. Finally, we've figured out some of the patterns."

He paused slightly, then said:

"If you want to take it down as soon as possible, it would be best if I accompanied Your Highness there."

"Block all escape routes, and when it comes again, we can capture it together!"

Qin Mingqi's joy faded slightly. "Should I go and wait there?"

"... yes."

How long will it take?

"Well... it's hard to say for sure right now."

Qin Mingqi sat back down, completely losing her previous interest.

It's just a mount; you can catch it anytime. But Ye Li might not stay in the Longwind Divine Dynasty for long!

What if I spend days or even months there, only to find out they've already left when I get back? Wouldn't all my efforts have been for nothing?!

Furthermore...

My elder brother and sister aren't completely unaware of anything. If I leave now, who knows if they'll rush over first?

"Then I won't go."

Qin Mingqi said decisively, "Let's deal with Ye Li's matter first. Let the silver lion live a few more days."

Bai Jingshan nodded approvingly and asked:

"Should we remove the Array Formation Linze City first?"

"Some people in the city have already reported this, suggesting that the residents be relocated elsewhere."

"Withdraw what?!"

Qin Mingqi gave him a displeased look. "Keep it running. If everyone leaves, will that silver lion still come?"

After a moment's thought, she laughed again:

"Perhaps Ye Li is also interested in it."

"If he's willing to go, we can go together, wouldn't that be perfect?"

"Your Highness's considerations are indeed very thorough."

Bai Jingshan smiled and agreed, without mentioning the dead civilians in the city again.

It's just a matter of more people dying.

In the ancient and profoundly rich Longwind Divine Dynasty, what it lacks least is the vast number of common people, so many that even the royal family finds them disgusting.
