The Demon Prince

"Xiao Xingyue! I've come to find you... Ah—"

Li Wangshu pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing the scene inside, she couldn't help but scream.

Outside the courtyard, Li Miaoqing heard Jiu Mei's scream and felt a surge of joy.

It's done! Everything is going according to plan. Just as she expected, Xiao Xingyue really did unleash his beastly nature!

Ninth Sister witnessed it firsthand and was caught red-handed!

Next, Ninth Sister gave up on Xiao Xingyue, and then the nine sisters worked together to annul the engagement!

She quickly followed Li Wangshu into the house, her face already contorted with righteous indignation and anger, as one would expect when catching someone in adultery.

"Xiao Xingyue! You despicable and vile..."

Upon seeing who was inside, Li Miaoqing's expression froze, and she completely stiffened. "Eighth Sister? It's you?"

Looking at the bed again, Xiao Xingyue was sitting cross-legged in front of the couch, shirtless, his forehead covered in sweat, and a faint heat emanating from his body.

Li Shunhua stood by the bed, her hair disheveled, her cheeks flushed crimson.

The rouge on his red lips looked as if he had been kissed hard, leaving red marks all around his lips.

Upon seeing Li Miaoqing, Li Shunhua's eyes blazed with fury:

"Seventh Sister, how dare you ask?"

Li Miaoqing's gaze darted away imperceptibly, then she glared angrily at Xiao Xingyue: "Xiao Xingyue, did you do anything to my eighth sister?"

Xiao Xingyue did not answer. At this moment, the Hehuan Powder in the Great Rejuvenation Pill was being quickly expelled from his body, and a domineering and powerful true qi was emerging from his dantian, flowing along his meridians and throughout his body, faintly accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar.

A look of horror appeared on Li Miaoqing's face, and she murmured:

"This is... the Holy Dragon Technique?!"

Li Wangshu's pretty face was full of doubt. "This is a royal family's direct lineage technique. Only members of the royal family are qualified to practice it. Eighth Sister... you... were you just teaching Xiao Xingyue the Sacred Dragon Technique?"

She screamed because she saw Li Shunhua in Xiao Xingyue's room, and Xiao Xingyue was disheveled, so she thought the two of them were having an affair.

Now I feel that the situation is even more serious. If the Emperor finds out that Xiao Xingyue has cultivated the Holy Dragon Technique, he won't wait for a month-long vote; the Imperial Guards will surround the Prince's Mansion tonight!

"I spread the word... but don't blame me!" Li Shunhua's face was grim as she blamed Li Miaoqing. "If Seventh Sister hadn't tampered with the pills, he wouldn't have lost control. When I came in, the poison was already overwhelming, and he even grabbed me..."

Li Wangshu's face paled even more: "He caught you? What did he do to you?"

Li Miaoqing was dumbfounded. Xiao Xingyue hadn't gone out to find women, but instead had taken advantage of her eighth sister for free.

They even gave away the forbidden royal martial art, the Sacred Dragon Skill!

They lost both their wife and their army!

"asshole!"

Li Miaoqing rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront Xiao Xingyue, but Li Shunhua grabbed her abruptly and immediately pleaded, "Seventh Sister! He didn't do anything inappropriate to me. He restrained himself very much, so... so I couldn't bear to..."

Li Miaoqing was surprised, "He can endure that much?"

Oh no... Could it be that Xiao Xingyue is inherently weak, so the medicine isn't working for him? ...I miscalculated...I should have added the kidney-tonifying and yang-boosting formula as well...

As Li Miaoqing pondered, Li Wangshu's eyes turned red with anger: "Seventh Sister! How could you drug him! I trusted you so much!"

Li Miaoqing lowered her eyes guiltily.

Seeing her sisters arguing, Li Shunhua took a deep breath and said coldly, "In short, no one is allowed to talk about the Sacred Dragon Technique! This matter was caused by Seventh Sister's pills, but I was the one who passed on the technique to save someone, and Ninth Sister has already married into the Xiao family..."

The three women now understood that they were all involved in this matter.

If word gets out, nobody will have a good time!

Li Miaoqing immediately nodded: "Of course I can't tell. If Father finds out, I'll be the first one to suffer."

Li Wangshu retorted, "I won't tell either, but if Xiao Xingyue dares to threaten us with this, I'll die with him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xingyue stopped meditating, opened his eyes, and coughed lightly. "We're all family, Princess Consort, please don't take offense."

When he spoke, Xiao Xingyue's smile was so wide it was almost harder to suppress than an AK!

Li Shunhua looked at him with a frustrated expression, "Your aura...you've broken through to the third rank!"

"No way, I wield the power of Fuxi... I'm not even as strong as a chicken."

Xiao Xingyue was secretly delighted.

What a wonderful day!

He almost lost control and executed Li Shunhua on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Li Shunhua, feeling guilty after learning that he had been drugged by Li Miaoqing, transferred his Holy Dragon Skill to him to detoxify him.

Not only did it thwart Li Miaoqing's scheme, but it also allowed him to obtain a top-tier martial arts technique passed down for thousands of years by the royal family for free.

This divine skill is profound and unpredictable. Even someone like Li Shunhua, who has diligently practiced martial arts, has only managed to reach the first level. In the end, it all benefited Xiao Xingyue.

With the combined effects of the Great Rejuvenation Pill, it naturally helped him break through to the third rank!

Sometimes, you don't need god-like teammates, you just need pig-like opponents!

It's possible to succeed!

He noticed that the three princesses were staring at him intently, all looking like they wanted to kill him.

Xiao Xingyue gathered his emotions for two seconds, then pounded his chest in anguish.

The three princesses were dumbfounded. Li Wangshu was the first to exclaim, "You! What are you doing?"

Li Miaoqing was also suspicious... I didn't poison you to make you hurt yourself!

Xiao Xingyue, his face filled with self-reproach, cried out to the moon outside the window:

I am guilty!

"I never imagined that I, Xiao Xingyue, the most loyal minister of the Great Xia Dynasty, would today have mastered a divine skill that the royal family keeps secret. Although it was out of necessity and understandable, I cannot deceive the Emperor regarding the Sacred Dragon Technique!"

Xiao Xingyue strode out, saying, "I will go to the palace now and apologize to my father!"

"Ah—" Upon hearing this, Li Miaoqing instinctively rushed over and hugged Xiao Xingyue tightly: "No! You can't go!"

Xiao Xingyue, adopting the posture of Tang Sanzang coyly resisting a female demon, placed his hands on Li Miaoqing's collarbone, stroking and gently pushing her: "Seventh Princess! Don't stop me! Let me go! I can't hide it from Father! I am a loyal subject!"

Li Miaoqing was furious. "You're acting like a loyal minister, trying to kill me!"

Li Wangshu rushed over and grabbed his arm, shouting, "You're not allowed to go! If Father finds out about this, you'll die too!"

Xiao Xingyue remained agitated: "I'd rather die than have my conscience bother me!"

Seeing that Xiao Xingyue was still walking towards the door, Li Shunhua became anxious and blocked the doorway with her arms outstretched.

Xiao Xingyue bumped his head into Li Shunhua's Tianchi acupoint, and was then bounced back a step.

He was shocked... Goodness, sister, you're playing basketball!

Li Shunhua, her face contorted with humiliation, quickly covered her chest with her hands. "Xiao Xingyue, you only think of yourself! Have you ever thought of us? I was the one who passed on my skills to you. If Father finds out, I will be punished too! I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the border anymore!"

Seeing Li Shunhua's genuine emotions, Li Miaoqing hugged her even tighter. "Eighth Sister is right, Xiao Xingyue, I was the one who drugged you. At worst, I'll apologize to you, and you don't need to go to Father Emperor!"

Seeing the three women's flustered and embarrassed pleas for mercy.

"I don't have to go," Xiao Xingyue suddenly calmed down, then coughed lightly, "Then, at the voting ceremony a month from now, I humbly request that the three princesses cast their votes for me!"
