The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 208 A Profound Friendship Worth Ten Billion Spirit Stones (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Further Reading)
At the foot of Huangsha Mountain, Yue Chenfeng's Silver Knife Squad was speechless in the face of the unruly and unreasonable young princess.

Given her status as a young princess, if she is rejected, she will surely retaliate in the future; but if she is accepted, she might be killed by the calamity right now.

For a moment, everyone hesitated.

At this moment, Yue Chenfeng said to the young princess, "Your Highness, please allow us to discuss this for a while."

Seeing this, the young princess nodded in satisfaction. Saying it was a discussion meant that they had already given in, but they just needed a way out.

The young princess had seen this kind of situation many times before, and her willfulness had always been effective.

At this moment, Yue Chenfeng led the members of the Silver Knife Squad to a corner, where everyone looked at each other.

Qin Hanyue said, "Captain, this is absolutely unacceptable. We've already rescued her with great difficulty, and now she wants to go back? What kind of logic is that? Going back to her death? I absolutely refuse to agree to that!"

Qin Hanyue made his stance clear.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other teammates chimed in, "That's right, this little princess is being too unreasonable, we can't agree to her request!"

"Our mission is simply to rescue her; we have no mission to find her any longevity locks."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Clearly, once someone took the lead, others would follow. They didn't want to pay the price for the young princess's capriciousness.

Yue Chenfeng nodded; in fact, that was what he thought too.

At this moment, Yue Chenfeng looked at Qin Changge, who had not yet expressed his opinion, and asked, "Brother Changge, what do you think?"

Qin Changge said, "Don't agree to her request. This girl deserves a beating."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. They also felt that the young princess deserved a beating, but they dared not say it aloud.

At this moment, Yue Chenfeng nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll refuse her, and if necessary, knock her out and take her away."

Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, judging from the current situation, the young princess was in dire straits, barely able to save herself.

Someone in the Prince's mansion wanted to kill the young princess, but she was still agonizing over a longevity lock. This was simply foolish.

At this moment, Yue Chenfeng and the other members of the Silver Knife Squad returned to the young princess. The young princess put her hands on her hips and said, "Are you ready? Let's set off immediately, lest the longevity lock be destroyed by those calamities."

Yue Chenfeng said earnestly to the young princess, "Your Highness, after discussing with my teammates, we have unanimously decided to refuse your unreasonable request."

Upon hearing this, the young princess froze, staring at Yue Chenfeng and the others in disbelief.

How dare these guys refuse her?

As the daughter of a prince, the niece of the emperor, and the darling of the empress dowager, the young princess was showered with love and affection, and always got whatever she wanted.

However, today, Yue Chenfeng and these "peasants" actually dared to refuse her; this was simply outrageous.

The young princess was only halfway through her sentence when she realized that she was left all alone; they had all died protecting her at the hands of those calamities.

At this moment, the young princess could no longer utter her threatening words, because she suddenly realized that if Yue Chenfeng and his men killed her, they could easily frame the calamity.

As a result, the young princess suddenly became more clear-headed and intelligent.

The young princess was stunned for a moment, and then began to sob: "That longevity lock was a birthday gift from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is no longer here, and I can only remember her through this longevity lock."

The young princess wept bitterly, looking utterly pitiful.

However, Qin Changge and the others remained expressionless. They were all seasoned veterans, ruthless killers who had risked their lives for danger; how could they possibly soften their hearts just because a little girl was crying?

More normally, the solution would be to kill this annoying crybaby with a single blow.

However, given her status as a young princess, she still needs to be served well.

Yue Chenfeng said, "Your Highness, it's far too dangerous. If we go back now, our lives could be in danger. If something happens to you, we really won't be able to explain it to the court."

The young princess said, "You can go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Indeed, they shouldn't have harbored any illusions about this young princess.

This guy completely treated their lives like a joke.

At this moment, everyone wanted to slap the young princess across the face, but reason prevailed over impulse.

Yue Chenfeng said, "We are simply not capable enough. Even if we go, we will probably lose our lives and be unable to escort the little princess. As a result, you will also die."

Yue Chenfeng said, "We need to go back now, take stock of our forces, and use the Prince's troops or the Golden Knife Patrol to retrieve the Longevity Lock intact."

Yue Chenfeng said, "Your Highness, what do you think?"

As Yue Chenfeng spoke, he quietly approached the young princess. He had already decided to knock her unconscious and take her away. This girl was completely uncommunicative, so he would have to resort to even more forceful methods.

As for the little princess seeking revenge afterward, they weren't afraid. After all, there were people in the royal palace who wanted the little princess dead. The little princess would be overwhelmed with worries and wouldn't have time to care about them.

At this point, the young princess realized that Yue Chenfeng and his ilk were completely impervious to both soft and hard tactics; threats and crying didn't work.

At this moment, the young princess said, "Whoever brings me the longevity lock, I will give him 1 billion high-grade spirit stones."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed, thinking they had misheard.

The crowd looked at each other, realizing they probably hadn't misheard; otherwise, they wouldn't be so shocked.

Yue Chenfeng coughed twice and said, "Little Princess, even if you give us ten billion spirit stones, we still..."

Yue Chenfeng paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that this was ten billion high-grade spirit stones.

With these billion high-grade spirit stones, it's safe to say that reaching the God King Realm or Immortal Realm would be no problem.

Yue Chenfeng thought for a moment, then shook his head. He had almost died at the hands of those spatial calamities, so although the ten billion spirit stones were good, he might have the life to take them, but not the life to spend them.

At this moment, Qin Changge suddenly spoke up: "Your Highness, it's easy to say that we have 1 billion or 10 billion spirit stones, but we can't actually get them."

The young princess simply flicked the spatial ring in her hand and said, "I have a billion spirit stones in this spatial ring. Otherwise, why do you think those calamities would capture me? It's because I have many treasures on me, and they discovered them."

The young princess's words immediately silenced everyone. However, although the young princess did have the ten billion spirit stones, what if they took the longevity lock back? Would the young princess then go back on her word?
Will they just give them a verbal reward and then wipe out the ten billion spirit stones?
This is also an unknown, after all, the difference in status is there, and the young princess has no need to play the game of keeping her word with them.

The young princess suddenly raised her hand and swore to the heavens: "I swear, if anyone brings back the Longevity Lock, I will give him 1 billion spirit stones. If I don't give him 1 billion spirit stones, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

As soon as the words fell, the members of the Silver Knife Squad fell silent. At this moment, they deeply felt how profound the little princess's feelings for the Empress Dowager were—a deep affection worth ten billion spirit stones.

Qin Changge coughed twice and said, "Your Highness, I am moved by the friendship between you and the Empress Dowager. I am willing to go again."
