Chapter 192 Crown Princess Jiang Yuan

Pushing the door open, I saw a familiar figure standing in the courtyard.

"Junior sister Jiang Yuan, greetings to senior brother."

Zhong Lin frowned slightly. The person who came was actually the third princess of Dachen, Jiang Yuan, who was personally escorted by him to the capital of Dachen.

At this time, Jiang Yuan was also looking at Zhong Lin with burning eyes, his heart filled with regret.

Why didn’t I do more to win him over at that time?
If all else fails, I can even drug him and climb into his bed in the middle of the night!

In less than a year, the change from the second-grade Tongmai realm when they last met to the current innate warrior and grandmaster level expert made him feel like he was dreaming.

If I had been able to win him over at that time, even if I had just had a one-night stand with him, I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan felt even more regretful.

Zhong Lin chuckled and said, "I didn't expect it to be the 'Crown Princess' in person. You weren't in Kyoto handling state affairs, so why are you back?"

Zhong Lin still admires this Junior Sister Jiang Yuan.

Although he had not paid active attention to it these days, some news still reached his ears.

After Jiang Yuan returned to Kyoto, she started a killing spree. In just half a month, several princes were killed by her. Her strength and tough style shocked the entire Kyoto.

Of course, such behavior also frightened the other princes and princesses. They jointly submitted a petition to the emperor, asking him to punish her, believing that she was too cruel as she could even kill her own brother for no reason.

Facing the joint memorial submitted by the princes and princesses, Jiang Yuan was extremely powerful. She directly presented evidence of several attempts to assassinate her, which silenced the court. In the end, the old emperor stood firmly on her side, which was also due to the royal ancestor.

The old emperor was ill, and Jiang Yuan, a woman, began to govern the country. She issued a series of policies that benefited the country and the people and began to reform. She killed countless corrupt officials and forcefully suppressed her brothers and sisters. For a time, her reputation in the entire Chen State was at its peak, and the people called her the "Female Crown Princess."

Being called "female prince" by Zhong Lin, Jiang Yuan blushed and said coquettishly, "Senior brother always makes fun of me."

Fortunately, there are no people from the Chen court here, otherwise, seeing Jiang Yuan's gentle side would definitely be shocking. She has always been cold and ruthless in the court, and has never shown such a side.

Zhong Lin walked over to his recliner and lay down on it, his eyes slightly closed, looking leisurely.

Jiang Yuan consciously picked up a teacup on the stone table and poured tea into it, then placed it in front of Zhong Lin with both hands.

Zhong Lin glanced at her, reached out to take it, and took a sip.

"When you give a gift to someone, you must have something to ask for. Tell me, what is it?"

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Junior sister wants to ask you for a pill."

"What elixir?"

"Barrier Breaking Pill."

Zhong Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile. Although he didn't say anything, his emotions were very expressive.

You are dreaming!

Jiang Yuan fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face.

"My father is gravely ill, and I, Junior Sister, have been entrusted with the task. Since I assumed regentship, I have eliminated treacherous ministers, exterminated members of the imperial family, and implemented a series of policies that benefit both the nation and the people. Countless corrupt officials have been executed. While the situation in Dachen has improved, it's only a temporary slump." "Now, many officials and the aristocratic families are secretly colluding, hindering the implementation of government orders. Bandits are rampant, and some are even colluding with enemy nations and attempting rebellion."

"If it weren't for the suppression by my royal ancestors, the entire Dachen would have been in chaos and torn apart long ago."

"Now that our royal ancestor is about to pass away, the many forces that have been suppressed for so long will no longer be able to contain themselves and will unite to launch a rebellion. Da Chen will be in chaos."

"Brother, Great Chen is in imminent danger. Please, for the sake of being a citizen of the Chen State, save the State of Chen."

Zhong Lin slowly sat up and looked down at Jiang Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Moral blackmail me?"

"Junior sister, I dare not. I am truly desperate, so I have come to you for help. I know that the Barrier Breaking Pill is extremely precious, and the Dachen Royal Family is willing to pay any price."

Jiang Yuan lowered his head and lay directly on the ground, with tears in his eyes, looking so pitiful.

Unfortunately, this trick is useless against Zhong Lin. Besides, even if Zhong Lin agrees, Yu Jinglei will not agree.

The Barrier Breaking Pill is related to the sect's inheritance plan. Yu Jinglei's requirement to Zhong Lin is that he must be a disciple of the Jianding Sect before he can give it to him, and the benefits must never flow into the fields of outsiders.

Zhong Lin sneered, "Any price? I'm already a powerful innate being. Do you think anything can move me? Power? Treasure? Or beauty?"

Jiang Yuan's expression was gloomy. In this world, martial arts were respected and fists were power. A martial artist in the Xiantian realm, a supreme master at the grandmaster level, could found another country if he wanted. What could he not get?

"Brother, as long as you are willing to help, Dachen will allow you to ask for anything, even if it is your junior sister, I can..."

Zhong Lin waved his hand and said impatiently: "Well, you are not worth the price yet. Get down the mountain before the Sect Master kills you! I will pretend that you have never been here."

Jiang Yuan's face turned pale, and a feeling of humiliation surged in her heart. She was a princess of a country, admired by thousands of people, but now she was kneeling and begging, offering herself to him, only to be told that she was not worth the price.

Jiang Yuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and his expression was no longer as delicate as before, but filled with a sense of dominance and majesty.

"Brother, I want to make a deal with you. I'm sure you're worried about how to fill the 360 innate acupoints in your body!"

Zhong Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuan deeply.

"You know quite a lot?"

Jiang Yuan was not to be outdone. He met his gaze and said proudly, "My Jiang royal family has also produced powerful Xiantian warriors. Naturally, we know the knowledge of Xiantian cultivation. Unfortunately, Barrier Breaking Pills are too rare, and geniuses who cultivate both systems are even rarer. This has caused the Xiantian realm to be extinct. I feel ashamed of our ancestors. But Brother, you should know that my Jiang royal family has never lacked first-grade warriors throughout the generations."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"To cultivate in the Xiantian realm, one needs to constantly absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, strengthen the Xiantian true energy, and then nourish and open the acupoints, filling all the Xiantian acupoints with true energy. It will take at least a hundred years to achieve this. With your arrogance, you will definitely not be satisfied with sitting there for a hundred years. My Jiang royal family has mastered a secret treasure. There is a spirit pool in the secret treasure that can cleanse the body and absorb spiritual energy. This is why my Jiang royal family has never lacked first-class warriors throughout the generations. As long as my senior brother is willing, I can lead him into my royal family's secret treasure to practice." Jiang Yuan said loudly.

"Secret treasure...Spirit pond..."

Zhong Lin slammed the table, releasing the aura of an innate warrior, and an aura as heavy as a mountain enveloped the entire bamboo courtyard.

In an instant, Jiang Yuan felt that the Zhong Lin in front of him had turned into a towering sacred mountain, and he was just an ant at the foot of the mountain. Endless fear surged in his heart, and his knees went weak and he fell to the ground again.
