Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Wang Yu looked up at Qin Huaiyu, who was sitting upright beside him.

The head eunuch was clearly offended by the foul language outside the carriage, and Wang Yu smiled ingratiatingly, "Eunuch Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Huaiyu lowered his eyes—

This second prince excelled in everything; his intelligence, character, and diplomatic skills were all top-notch. However, he was obsessed with beautiful women and acted differently from ordinary people.

Once a woman has set her sights on him, there is virtually no chance of her escaping.

What makes him most unusual is that after humiliating himself, he orders his henchmen to humiliate him in turn.

However, he was deeply trusted by the emperor, so it was not easy to ignore him.

Qin Huaiyu slowly spoke: "We learned from Qingjiang City that Xie Xiaoyi has a fifth-grade cultivation level, but the World Society has spread the word that he is a sixth-grade cultivator."

It wasn't until the secret agents received news from the Lingxiao Palace that he was not only a notorious womanizer, but had also entered the Ninth Rank Vajra Saint Realm.

Yu Shinan, the director of the Imperial Observatory, once said that dragons are lewd and have relationships with all kinds of people, which is exactly what he was like as a womanizer.

However, his talent in rising from the fourth rank to the ninth rank within a year is probably even greater than that of my adopted son, Qin Zhong.

The prophecy that the Ancestral Dragon would reappear and shake the heavens, and that a single sword strike would echo the roar of a dragon, shaking the entire dynasty, might indeed be true.

Wang Yu leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice:

"Eunuch Qin, Xie Lingyun is firmly ranked fourth on the Heavenly Dragon List, and you are also on the list. Even the Heavenly Calculator Xie Daoyun cannot fathom your true strength. I wonder if you are the number one or the tenth in the world."

"Do you think we can get Xie Xiaoyi out of Xie Lingyun on this trip to Fuyu Mountain?"

Qin Huaiyu rubbed his fingertips together, his gaze indifferent and unwavering.

"I've heard that Xie Lingyun killed four of the Lingxiao Palace's top assassins in the blink of an eye for Xie Xiaoyi. The title on the Heavenly Dragon Ranking is not just for show."

Wang Yu said in a deep voice, "Father also knows Xie Lingyun's power, otherwise he would not have sent Eunuch Qin and his adopted son Qin Zhong to help me."

"This time I brought a thousand armored soldiers, along with four bodyguards, plus the eunuch and Qin Zhong. How confident do you think we are in this?"

Qin Huaiyu closed his eyes in meditation, his voice still calm: "A thousand armored men are no match for a single sharp blade."

Even though Xie Lingyun was ranked fourth on the Heavenly Dragon List, Mount Fuyu was ultimately an isolated mountain with no external support to rely on.

A thousand armored soldiers are protecting Your Highness, blocking the key roads. I'm here to oversee the rear. We're seventy percent confident we can succeed."

Thinking of Xie Lingyun, who was once the most beautiful woman in the world, and then thinking of the Second Prince, who was excellent in every way but had only one shortcoming.

Qin Huaiyu added a hint of warning in his tone: "Xie Lingyun has lived in the East China Sea for a long time. This is her home turf, and she is not easy to deal with."

"Your Highness, you must not act rashly. Just follow the plan and don't confront her directly. Qin Zhong and I will handle the rest."

Upon hearing this, a hint of greed flashed in Wang Yu's eyes: "With your words, Father-in-law, I am relieved."

I've heard that Xie Lingyun was once the most beautiful woman in the world. I wonder if you've heard of that, Father-in-law?

Qin Huaiyu smiled but remained silent.

When everyone reached the mudflats and mountain path near Fuyu Mountain, they all stopped.

A thousand armored soldiers quickly formed a battle formation, blocking the junction between the beach and the mountain path. Wang Yu stood in the middle of the formation, his gaze fixed on the mountain peak.

Qin Huaiyu and his adopted son Qin Zhong did not stop. The two of them walked one after the other to the foot of Fuyu Mountain.

He then activated the Heavenly Gang Child Skill, condensing his inner energy in his dantian, and then forcefully inhaled and exhaled, the powerful sound waves crashing against the rocks and rippling outwards:

"Xie Lingyun, Qin Huaiyu has come to Fuyu Mountain in the East Sea, requesting to borrow one of your men!"

Xie Lingyun was discussing the "Way of the Sword" with Xie Xiaoyi when suddenly a deep, long roar came from the foot of the mountain. The sound waves pierced through the forest and over the mountains, making the windows rattle slightly.

So she took Xie Xiaoyi's hand away from her chest, her smile vanished instantly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Qin Huaiyu?

VIP?

Could it be Xiao Yi?

When Xie Lingyun stood up, all his gentleness had vanished. He said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yi, you wait here. I'll go and deal with them."

Xie Xiaoyi grabbed her wrist: "The man from the foot of the mountain calls himself Qin Huaiyu. I suppose he is the mysterious master on the Heavenly Dragon List who even Senior Xie Daoyun couldn't fathom."

Since he's come demanding someone, it must be me. Although I don't know how I'm connected to the dynasty, good intentions don't come here. I'll go with you; it'll be good for our safety."

Looking into his determined eyes, Xie Lingyun finally did not refuse: "Alright, you stay by my side, but don't be stubborn."

The two left Wanghailu side by side and descended on their swords.

Looking down, two figures stood at the foot of Fuyu Mountain, Qin Huaiyu and Qin Zhong. The father and son exuded a deep and imposing aura.

In the distance, amidst the armored formation, Wang Yu looked up and saw two figures riding swords coming from the mountain peak.

The wind ruffled her clothes, revealing Xie Lingyun's slender figure and captivating beauty, her cool demeanor unable to conceal her stunning looks.

That beautiful face and figure caught his eye, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently. His eyes instantly filled with greed and amazement.

"Truly the most beautiful woman in the world! Her beauty surpasses even the rumors by several times!"

Li Si, the guard beside him, stepped forward and said in a low voice with a lewd smile: "Your Highness, look at Xie Lingyun, she looks like a fairy descended from heaven!"

Why don't we wait until Eunuch Qin captures Xie Xiaoyi, then we can seize her as well, tie her up, and bring her back to the Prince's mansion so you can enjoy her to your heart's content? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Zhang San echoed, his eyes glued to Xie Lingyun: "Li Si is right! How could an ordinary person encounter such a beauty?"

"Your Highness is of noble birth and deserves such a beauty. She'll be trapped and unable to escape, and Your Highness can do whatever he wants with her."

Wang Yu smiled faintly and patted the two men on the shoulders: "Do you two really think the Heavenly Dragon Ranking is just for show?"

If she can rank fourth in the world, her martial arts skills must be ridiculously high. Don't be delusional.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Lingyun and Xie Xiaoyi touched the ground with their toes and landed steadily on the blue stone in front of the mountain.

Seeing a thousand armored soldiers densely packed together in the distance, their swords and spears like a forest, Xie Xiaoyi exclaimed in amazement, "This is quite a spectacle... the dynasty really went all out!"

Xie Lingyun caught a glimpse of his expression, a faint smile playing on her lips: "What, are you scared already?"

"Afraid?"

Xie Xiaoyi suddenly snapped back to reality, his eyes lighting up: "Auntie, have you forgotten? In my past life, I was Mei Xingyao, a man who could withstand ten thousand armored soldiers!"

Xie Lingyun ignored him and turned to Qin Huaiyu: "Grand Eunuch Qin, what brings you to Fuyu Mountain?"

Qin Huaiyu's gaze first swept over Xie Lingyun, then settled on Xie Xiaoyi beside her: "I have come here to borrow someone from Miss Xie."

"Borrow from whom?" Xie Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly, his aura already subtly gathering.

Qin Huaiyu's gaze remained fixed, her words clear and distinct: "I want Xie Mo, who is beside you, or rather, Xie Xiaoyi."

Xie Lingyun's brows furrowed even more, and he said coldly, "Do you think you can just take the person beside me like that? Explain yourself, what is your purpose in wanting him?"

Qin Huaiyu's eyes were calm and his voice was deep and resonant, each word ringing like thunder in the mountains, revealing nothing he might be hiding:

"The Imperial Astronomical Bureau observed the stars at night and saw a sudden appearance of a malevolent force beside the Ziwei star, accompanied by the aura of the ancestral dragon lingering in the sky. A divination was performed to obtain a divination result."

—The First Emperor reappears, shaking the heavens; a sword's roar shakes the dynasty.

That demon star lord is the person beside you. He possesses the true energy of the Ancestral Dragon, and his destiny is to clash with my Great Sheng Dynasty. Keeping him alive will surely bring disaster!
