I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Over three days.

Zhou Biao deeply understood the feeling of counting money until his hands cramped.

He used to see money like a pervert seeing a beautiful naked woman.

Now, the sight of banknotes triggers a stress response in him; he takes off running, faster than a rabbit.

Let whoever wants to count the money count it; he's never counting it again. He'd rather wander aimlessly into the mountains like a headless fly searching for the dragon veins of a bygone dynasty.

Fortunately, as time went by, those who were supposed to go into the mountains did, and now only a few people occasionally pay to enter.

Qin Li gave the order to have his men seal off the mountain gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Why don't we hurry up and go into the mountains to find the dragon vein?"

"Several days have passed; perhaps someone has already found the dragon vein."

"Before things escalate and many people know, let's kill everyone, cover it up, and monopolize the dragon vein! Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

As he was speaking, Zhou Biao made a knife-like gesture with his hand and slashed his own neck twice, a very evil smile appearing on his lips.

Qin Li scratched his forehead, wishing he didn't know Zhou Biao.

That's why Zhou Biao is considered the villain's lackey.

Judging from this statement, it's hard to call it decent.

Especially the smile on his face, it's absolutely wicked!

However, Zhou Biao was right, and Qin Li couldn't refute it.

Reaching out and patting him on the shoulder, Qin Li said, "Just do as you say, go and prepare."

"what?"

Zhou Biao was completely stunned.

You agreed just like that?

He still thought...

Qin Li would scold him for coming up with such a terrible idea.

After all, in Qin Li's eyes, he wasn't very bright.

"What do you mean, 'huh'?"

Qin Li couldn't help but kick his butt. "Hurry up, or someone else will find the dragon vein, and all our efforts will have been for nothing."

"Remember, make sure to send people to keep a close eye on Qin Feng, Su Chen, and Fang Yuan. I have a strong feeling that the three of them will be the first to find the Dragon Vein!"

"yes!"

After exchanging fist salutes, Zhou Biao hurried down to prepare.

Not long after Zhou Biao left, Wei Hongying, who had finished packing, came to Qin Li's side.

Wei Hongying was still dressed in a tight-fitting outfit of leather armor and skirt.

He not only had a long whip hanging from his waist, but also a bow and arrows on his back, and a silver spear in his hand.

He looks even more dashing!

"Hongying, you truly are a general!"

Qin Li gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but praise him.

Say what others want to hear, and it won't hurt you.

Not only will it not cause you to lose weight, but it will also increase your favorability rating. Why not do it?

Sure enough, Wei Hongying was quite pleased with the praise, and looked at Qin Li with the same gaze one would give a lover.

After Zhou Biao and his men finished packing, the group set off into the Jiuyi Mountains.

……

Time passed slowly, and another night fell.

After spending a day wandering around the mountains with his men, they didn't even see a rabbit, let alone find the dragon vein of the previous dynasty.

Not right.

Qin Li frowned slightly.

Isn't it said that ferocious beasts roam the Jiuyi Mountains?

I haven't seen a single one.

If we can't find the dragon vein, at least let so many of them go hunting.

Could it be that those ferocious beasts were scared away by those who went into the mountains to search for treasure, and fled deeper into the Jiuyi Mountains to hide?

wrong.

Even if they were scared away, there should still be one or two that escaped.

But we didn't see a single ghost during the day, which is abnormal.

"Your Highness must be tired. Would you like some water?"

Just then, a voice interrupted Qin Li's reverie.

Wei Hongying offered the water pouch with both hands, looking at Qin Li with great anticipation.

Without a second thought, Qin Li took the water pouch, tilted his head back, and took a sip.

More than an hour had passed since he last drank water, and he was indeed quite thirsty.

But after drinking it, he felt something was wrong.

He looked at the water pouch in his hand, then at Wei Hongying.

The water bag did not belong to him, but to Wei Hongying.

In other words, he and Wei Hongying kissed indirectly.

Moreover, it was Wei Hongying who took the initiative.

Feeling Qin Li's gaze, Wei Hongying lowered her head shyly, her cheeks instantly turning red, and she bit her lower lip.

Oh no, her little scheme has been discovered. I hope her older brother, Qin Li, thinks she's a promiscuous girl who throws herself at him.

Wei Hongying's heart was pounding like a drum, almost bursting out of her chest.

This is a hurdle.

Having overcome this hurdle, her relationship with Qin Li became even closer.

If they can't overcome this hurdle, their relationship might end, and it will be awkward whenever they meet again.

Looking at the shy Wei Hongying, Qin Li's throat tightened.

Everyone saw it; it was her who initiated it, not me.

If something happens, don't come looking for him.

Looking around and seeing that everyone's attention was not on the two of them, Qin Li gradually became bolder.

He reached out and first put his arm around Wei Hongying's waist, then slowly lowered his head...

Wei Hongying subconsciously closed her eyes and met her trembling lips.

Just as the two were about to kiss, with their lips only 0.01 millimeters apart, Zhou Biao suddenly came running over, huffing and puffing.

"Your Highness, we've made a discovery!"

"That good-for-nothing Qin Feng is not far ahead of us!"

Upon hearing the sound, the two separated as if electrocuted, back to back, pretending not to know each other.

Qin Li would look up at the sky for a while, then drink water again.

Wei Hongying first straightened her clothes, then gently fanned herself with her hand.

This scene truly proves one thing.

People tend to pretend they're very busy when they're in their most awkward moments.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhou Biao frowned and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, Miss Wei, what are you doing?"

"Especially you, Miss Wei, why is your face so red? Are you hot? Everyone else is freezing!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Li didn't seem to mind, but Wei Hongying angrily stepped forward and stomped hard on Zhou Biao's foot, shouting, "Mind your own business!"

After saying that, Wei Hongying tossed her high ponytail behind her head, turned around and left.

Zhou Biao winced in pain as his foot was stepped on, clutching his foot and jumping around on the spot.

"Your Highness, what have I done to offend her?"

Qin Li walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You didn't provoke her or offend her, you just ruined her plans."

"By the way, what did you just say? Qin Feng is right in front of us?"

"Yes!" Zhou Biao said, "I'm sure I'm not mistaken, it's that good-for-nothing."

"Let's go take a look!"

After saying that, Qin Li took the lead and walked away.

Qin Li rubbed his lips as he walked.

Damn it.

It was so close.

They were so close to kissing.

Once he gets intimate with her, he believes that it won't be long before Wei Hongying can help him with his cultivation.

Unfortunately, Zhou Biao interrupted us.

Zhou Biao is really something, he didn't come earlier or later, but he had to come at the most crucial time.

Qin Li even began to suspect that he might be an undercover agent planted by the protagonist, Qin Feng, next to him.
