Princess Bai Lu was baffled.
Why is being too exceptional the reason for rejection? Could it be that he thinks I’m not worthy of Brother Jin, or is he feeling inferior?
Currently, it’s obvious her status is nobler; her father is one of the top ten kings of the Beast Race, truly the supreme being.
Brother Jin, despite being a True Dragon, has no background, just an outstandingly talented grassroots.
"Sister Bai Lu, you don’t understand."
Qin Zi sighed, spoke cryptically:
"I somewhat understand your father; his eyes are like torches, likely seeing something you cannot."
"What are you talking about?"
Princess Bai Lu was even more confused.
Qin Zi patted her shoulder, somewhat pretentiously deep, said gravely, "Well, telling you now won’t mean anything. I can only say your dad has no malice; he wants what’s best for you."
Princess Bai Lu still wanted to argue.
"Actually, you and Senior Brother Jin aren’t impossible, but on one condition... you must be powerful enough. At the very least, your physical strength must surpass Senior Brother Jin. Your Beast Race has a unique advantage in terms of physique; if you work hard, there’s still hope."
Princess Bai Lu’s eyes brightened, her prior gloomy mood dispelled, as if the sky cleared.
Qin Zi said with a smile.
Princess Bai Lu asked.
"This... the cause is too deep, even your father can’t tell you, so I’m certainly not daring enough to say it."
Qin Zi evasively pushed it away, then sincerely said, "In the future, you will understand."
Princess Bai Lu nodded pensively, then suddenly asked in surprise, "Junior Brother Qin, have you fully recovered?!"
Qin Zi nodded and gratefully said, "I must thank you and your father for saving my life otherwise I would certainly have died."
"Why are you being polite with me?"
Princess Bai Lu smiled lightly, then added, "Besides, even if you want to thank me, you don’t have anything to offer."
Qin Zi was dumbfounded, then laughed silently.
White Crane King, being an ultimate powerhouse with vast resources, really wouldn’t care for his paltry possessions.
As for the Beast God’s Heart, if the other side wanted it, they would have taken it long ago; he has no power to resist at all.
"Nevertheless, I should show gratitude; I want to pay my respects to Senior White Crane King and thank him in person."
After a long while, Qin Zi said.
Princess Bai Lu hesitated, said with difficulty, "My father is currently in seclusion, so you probably won’t be able to meet him."
Qin Zi asked worriedly.
"Yes, my father fought against seven kings of equal level single-handedly, of course not being able to gain an advantage. Though it ended in mutual destruction, my father was actually hurt worse than the others."
Princess Bai Lu sighed.
In this situation, whatever he said seemed empty, especially since the other side was hurt saving him.
Truly... nothing to repay!
Just then, a deafening roar echoed outside, seemingly collapsing countless buildings, even making the ice cave shake violently.
"White Crane King, hand over that human!"
"You can’t protect him!"
"If this child isn’t removed, he’ll become a great scourge in the future!"
"Today, he must die!!"
A series of majestic voices reverberated in the sky like thunderbolts, inducing shivers.
Princess Bai Lu and Qin Zi simultaneously looked up, gazing at the ice cave’s ceiling, faces showing a hint of panic.
Formidable enemies at the borders!
Daring to shout on White Crane King’s territory, they must be ultimate powerhouses, and judging by the sound, there are quite a few.
Exceeding even nine of them.
"Why are there so many! Moreover, some voices sound unfamiliar, not like our Beast Race rulers."
Princess Bai Lu’s face looked very grim.
"Maybe... Demon Race and Human Race."
Qin Zi’s face twitched a few times; he speculated that after the king-level battle at the Holy Institute, his name spread out, and those who loathed him—the Human and Demon Races—came pursuing.
If it were before, he wouldn’t have enough standing to make supreme powerhouses of two races personally cross borders to hunt him.
But now, it’s different.
Having absorbed the Beast God’s Heart renowned across the Nine Heavens Realm, the threat level in these people’s minds rose to the top!
Born with a Divine Body.
And absorbed the Beast God’s Heart!
Heaven knows if such a person grows, what kind of invincible monster he will become, so he must be crushed in the cradle!
This isn’t narcissism.
He’s simply so strong that being humble is useless.
"Hmph! Are you all forcing the throne upon me?"
At this moment, the White Crane King’s majestic and cold voice resounded, an overwhelming oppressive force spreading out.
This pressure permeated everywhere; even the insects and ants hiding underground trembled in their holes.
"White Crane King, don’t be stubborn."
"If you don’t hand over the person today, don’t blame us for disregarding familial ties, leaving not a single soul in the White Crane Celestial Palace!"
"I have traveled billions of miles from the Demon Race territory to kill this child today. Please, White Crane King, don’t make things difficult for me."
"White Crane King, this person is a spy of the Celestial Eternal Race, an enemy shared by the three races of Nine Cang. It’s best not to shield him."
These uninvited guests all advised him righteously, and the last to speak turned out to be a strong figure from the Human Race.
This was a Hall Master of the Human Race Holy Hall!
"Perhaps you’re all right. If it were under different circumstances, I might truly hand that human over to you."
The White Crane King’s voice was icy, firm, and powerful:
"But today, with your overwhelming numbers and force, demanding him in such a posture, if I give him up to you, how could I ever hold my head high before the world again?!"
"I, the White Crane, have lived proudly all my life, never bowing to anyone. If you insist on forcing me, I’m not opposed to accompanying you to the end!"
His attitude was resolute.
"Good! Since you are so obstinate, today we shall have to subdue you!"
The Black Dragon King said coldly.
He and the White Crane King were both kings of the Beast Race, but ultimately, the heart is like a belly separated. No race’s internal factions are entirely united.
An elder-level figure from the Demon Race took the lead in attacking, and with a flip of his hand, the heavens and the earth shook frighteningly.
Then the Human Race Hall Master also struck, equally imposing, causing the world to tremble.
The White Crane King’s voice, filled with battle intent, resounded. Then came a series of crashing sounds, nearly shattering eardrums.
"Don’t hold back, attack together!"
The remaining powers also began to strike, and the scene became chaotic at once, Divine Techniques like oceans, fighting upturning heaven and earth.
"Imperial Butterfly Heaven-Cracking!"
"Swallowing the Sky!"
"Demon God Descends!"
"White Crane Celestial Subduing Technique!"
One terrifying Divine Technique after another continued to bloom, seemingly turning oceans into mulberry fields, mulberry fields into oceans.
A wave of Divine Technique aftermath swept across, Qin Zi and the others only felt a chill overhead, then found the ice cave’s roof had been blown off.
Just as if the house’s roof suddenly disappeared, standing inside at night, one could look up and see the endless stars.
Another loud bang, space collapsed, energy like an ocean, a figure in white vomiting blood flew backward.
It was the White Crane King!
Princess Bai Lu’s face turned pale, she was about to rush out, but Qin Zi held her back, covering her mouth.
"Don’t go. If you go out, you’ll only drag your father down." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Qin Zi said in a deep voice.
Princess Bai Lu, as if hit by a jolt, came to her senses, she no longer acted impulsively, but tears flowed from her eyes.
The White Crane King stabilized himself, his white clothes stained with blood; a savage aura burst forth from him as he charged towards the opposing forces once again.
But ultimately he was outnumbered.
Soon, he flew back vomiting blood again, even more disheveled than before, his breath significantly weaker.
But he bowed unyieldingly.
"If this continues, my father will die! What to do, what to do!"
Princess Bai Lu, tears streaming, shook her head in agony. She could do nothing now, going out would even hinder.
At this time, a hand rested on her shoulder, pulling her from pain and chaos.
Qin Zi looked at her, saying sternly, "You and your father have helped me so much, I can’t involve you anymore."
After saying this, he resolutely soared into the sky, like a beam of light rushing towards the Celestial Vault, then shouted towards them:
The sky turned quiet for a moment.
Then, one after another, impossibly sharp gazes converged on him instantly!
