“Ding!
Side quest—The Qian Emperor’s High Hopes completed!
Quest details: Dominate over various geniuses at the Qian Moon Talents Banquet!
Reward: 3000 experience points and one random lottery draw chance!”
“Ding!
Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!”
Two successive system notification sounds roused Qin Jun from his slumber.
He sat up reflexively, looking around anxiously before finally regaining his composure.
If not for the surging spiritual power warmth within him, he probably wouldn’t have realized he had completed the quest.
“I get to draw a lottery again?” Qin Jun asked groggily as he scratched his head.
“Yes!” The mythology system replied as sparingly as ever.
With the system’s response, Qin Jun instantly lost all sleepiness.
Rubbing his hands together, he said, “I hope I can draw something good.
Let’s start the lottery draw!”
“Ding!
Now initiating the random lottery draw…”
Universe Pouch!
Xuanyuan Sword!
Banana Leaf Fan!
Qin Jun habitually began to mutter about the awesome magical artifacts in his memory when Daji suddenly pushed the door open.
“Young Master, it’s time to get up.
Second Master will set off for Yuguan City tomorrow.”
Daji announced as she entered.
Since Qin Jun was very keen on winning her over, he allowed her to enter at any time without knocking.
Daji, now harboring a faint mist of affection for him, also disregarded the gender propriety.
Of course, the most important reason was that Daji was not human; she was a demon.
“Ding!
You’ve drawn Daji’s bellyband, originating from ‘Investiture of the Gods’!”
What the hell?
Daji’s…
Qin Jun’s expression instantly froze, especially since he felt something pink appear in his hand, still carrying residual heat.
Damn it!
Qin Jun almost cursed aloud, instinctively looking up only to see Daji staring icily at him, her eyes almost spewing fire.
“I…”
Qin Jun wanted to explain, but he didn’t know how to start.
This joke had gone too far!
A random lottery draw and it turned out to be something like this?
“Young Master.”
Daji approached Qin Jun with a cold sneer, frightening him so much he wrapped himself in his quilt and leaned against the wall, a look of terror on his face, “Daji, it’s not what you think…”
“Then why are you still holding on to it?”
“Ah…
I can’t just throw it away…”
“…”
Qin Jun clutched the pink bellyband in his hand, fear written all over his face.
Daji was no fragile woman; a super-strong expert of the Transforming Void Realm who could play him to death!
The next second, his pitiful screams echoed throughout Yuewang Palace, clearly heard by all the servants.
Several hundred meters away in a separate courtyard, Guan Yu, who was enjoying his tea, couldn’t help but smile, “Young Master and Daji truly are a pair of quarrelsome lovers.”
A short while later, a battered and bruised Qin Jun arrived at Guan Yu’s courtyard, followed by Daji, the Roaring Sky Dog, and two servants carrying dishes.
“Second Master, I’ve come to see you off!”
Qin Jun laughed heartily, blatantly ignoring Guan Yu’s teasing smile.
“Thank you, Young Master,” Guan Yu said, rising and bowing with a smile.
Qin Jun had his confidants address him as ‘Young Master’ because it sounded closer than ‘Prince’.
Daji sat down expressionlessly but couldn’t quite hide the hint of amusement in the corner of her eyes.
Though she despised Qin Jun’s sleazy behavior, it at least showed that he was truly smitten with her.
Which woman doesn’t have a bit of vanity?
Moreover, it was coming from a man she had taken a liking to.
Afterward, Qin Jun started asking about Guan Yu’s experience at the royal court that day, as it was Guan Yu’s first time attending court.
Even though Qin Jun was King Yue, he had not yet been granted the right to attend court.
Regarding this, Qin Jun himself was puzzled.
What was his dear father, the emperor, planning?
A king who doesn’t attend court?
As for the possibility that the Qian Emperor had forgotten about him, he didn’t consider it at all.
Although the Qian Emperor’s health was gradually worsening, his memory had not declined that quickly.
Guan Yu didn’t hide anything and roughly explained what happened at the court that morning.
When he heard how Nan Meng was intimidated into silence by Guan Yu, Qin Jun couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Awesome!
Nan Meng had been righteous and critical towards Qin Jun when his previous persona was demoted.
The ignorant old man had cast Qin Jun into the abyss without knowing the truth; a deep grudge indeed.
Of course, it was probably because of the engagement between Qin Jun and Nan Yuxin.
When Nan Meng and the Qian Emperor made the agreement, Qin Jun and Nan Yuxin were only newborns.
Who would have expected that the grown-up Qin Jun turned out this way?
“Second Master, let’s eat.
You’re leaving for Yuguan City tomorrow, so we have to practice well today!” Qin Jun said excitedly.
Guan Yu, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers, was crucially important to him.
As long as Guan Yu’s loyalty remained above zero, there was no fear of betrayal.
So far, Guan Yu’s loyalty had reached ninety, which showed the effectiveness of Qin Jun’s frequent flattery.
As the saying goes, ‘A soldier dies for those who appreciate him,’ and the so-called ‘appreciators’ are in fact those who are of higher status and who often compliment one.
According to Qin Jun’s understanding, this was spot on!
“Haha, no problem.
Today I will teach you a lethal technique!” declared Guan Yu, stroking his beard with a smile.
A lethal technique?
Qin Jun’s eyes lit up.
Was he finally going to pass on a secret move?
Having spent some time together, he had once approached Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog to learn magic, but they were demons, and the paths of humans and demons were different.
As for Guan Yu, he had only taught him an unnamed spear technique.
It seemed that summoning gods and demons to impart their own skills was also a task of formidable difficulty.
…
Palace of Prince Yu.
“What?
Qin Jun actually defeated Zhuo Junjie?”
Qin Yu, recuperating in his room, stood up in shock when he heard the report from Blood Saber King.
He knew exactly what kind of person Zhuo Junjie was—a genius on the leaderboard, certainly not someone he could compare with.
Aside from status, Zhuo Junjie was the bright moon in the sky, while he was but a mere star for contrast.
The gap in talent between them seemed insurmountable.
“Yes, it is said that the spear King Yue used weighs five thousand jin.
It’s widely rumored that he has the bravery of the Great Ancestor,” said Blood Saber King gravely.
He doubted his own chances against Zhuo Junjie and now considered Qin Jun even stronger, especially that tricky hiding magic, which was impossible to guard against and lethal in a life-or-death battle.
Qin Yu was so furious that his chest heaved.
Eventually, he sat back down, clenching his right hand into a fist on the tabletop.
“Guan Yu will leave tomorrow; within half a month, we must eliminate Qin Jun!” Qin Yu’s eyes flickered as he spoke.
With the upcoming Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition in Nanzhuo, he lacked confidence in achieving a good ranking but absolutely could not tolerate someone stronger than him in the royal family.
Blood Saber King expressed his difficulties, “King Yue has been practicing spear techniques in the palace recently.
It’s too difficult to make a move, and he himself possesses unbeatable strength in the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
Zhuo Junjie represented the strongest in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Defeating him, Qin Jun naturally deserved that title.
Of course, Blood Saber King was deliberately elevating Qin Jun; he was reluctant to lock horns with Qin Jun to the death.
Any clear-eyed person could see that Qin Yu was no match for the current Qin Jun.
“Just the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Can he fight against someone in the Golden Elixir Realm?” Qin Yu said with a snort of disdain.
