Chapter 9: Mo Gong Zhu!

  The repeated fright made Yun Duo and Qin Yi lose the courage to ride horses, so they dismounted and stood on the ground, looking up at a man and a tiger on the high slope. This feeling made the two people feel very uncomfortable, as they had always been standing in a high place overlooking others.

  "Qin Yi, I'll let you handle this matter. Don't disappoint me." Yunduo's bright and shining eyes were filled with emotional gaze towards Qin Yi, her tone carrying a hint of pleading.

  Qin Yi, who was eager to pursue the cloud himself, was suddenly shocked and patted his chest, saying loudly: "Leave it to me." He turned around and pointed at Qin Zheng, shouting: "You dog slave, get down here immediately!"

  Qin Zheng's eyes shot out sharp blades of light, staring at Qin Yi.

  He wasn't afraid of Qin Yi, this spoiled young master, and at worst, he could just leave the Great Flame Emperor's capital.

  "Little Prince Wang, I'd appreciate it if you didn't interfere with this matter," said Qin Zheng.

  "How dare you, you dog slave, to speak to me like that." Qin Yi drew out a sharp knife and pointed at Qin Zheng, "Do you believe me? I'll kill you right now."

  Before Qin Zheng could speak, a pleasant voice rang out.

  "Qin Yi, you're getting more and more arrogant."

  The originally arrogant Qin Yi turned his head and took a look, scaring him into quickly putting away his dagger.

  A pale and slender beauty appeared in the distance, quietly watching them.

  "Princess Mo!"

  Qin Zheng saw this woman and also came down from the high slope, and made a bow in front of her.

  This woman is Qin Mo, the daughter of the current King of Donghai.

  She was frail in body since childhood, and the two generations of Donghai Wang spent all means to cure her, even entering the strongest and most mysterious God Alliance on the continent of Shenwu to ask for help, but to no avail. She was also declared that she would not live beyond 25 years old. Qin Mo was intelligent and kind since childhood, treating his subordinates with kindness, and Emperor Dayan took pity on her short life, so he specially granted her the title of princess.

  "I know you're wronged, let me handle this matter." Mo Gong Zhu said lightly.

  "Everything will be done as the princess says." Qin Zheng secretly let out a sigh, he was also worried, after all she was the only daughter of Prince Pingnan, the future Prince Pingnan. How could she really kneel down? If that happened, Prince Pingnan would also blow his top.

  Princess Mo stepped forward, and Qin Yi immediately retreated. In the East Sea Royal Palace, Princess Mo's orders were equivalent to those of the East Sea King. Once, when Qin Yi was teasing a maid and was discovered by Princess Mo, he was locked up for a month. Even when his mother, the second wife of the East Sea King, begged for mercy, it didn't work. Later, she went to ask the East Sea King to intervene, but all he said was, "Even if Qin Mo cut off one of Qin Yi's legs, he wouldn't bother to ask about it."

  At this point, Qin Yi saw Mo Gongzhu as if a mouse had seen a cat, and he was always very cautious.

  Yun Duo saw Mo Gongzhu arrive and also took the initiative to pay respects, after all, she didn't have a noble title yet. "Please, Princess, do me justice. I am the future King of Pingnan, how can I kneel down to this dog slave?"

  "Admit defeat and kneel down," said Mo Gongzhu calmly. "Don't use your father to pressure me, even if it was your father Ping Nanwang who lost the bet with Qin Zheng, I will still make him kneel!"

  "Princess, we are nobles, he is just a slave, how can you do this?" Yun Duo shouted with a bright red face.

  Mo Gongzhu calmly said: "I only know you lost."

  Yun Duo really wanted to retort and even fight back, but she didn't dare. Gnashing her teeth, she said: "The princess must be forcing me to kneel down and pay my respects to him."

  "You don't have to kneel," said Mo Gong Zhu.

  "Really?" Cloud was overjoyed.

  Mo Gongzhu said: "But there is one condition."

  "What conditions?" Yun Duo asked hastily.

  Mo Gongzhu handed over a letter to Yunduo, "Don't open it and take a look, give it to Pingnan King. If he agrees, I'll handle this matter; if he doesn't agree, I'll bring Qin Zheng to your Pingnan King's mansion, make you kneel down, and from now on, whenever you see Qin Zheng, you must pay homage."

  Holding the letter in her hand, Yun felt as heavy as a mountain.

  The King of Pingnan and the King of Donghai didn't have much of a relationship to begin with, and the two even had some slight opposition. The content of this letter is definitely not simple, it must be asking the King of Pingnan to make concessions.

  She didn't want to agree, but making her kowtow to a slave was worse than killing her, and this way, the people of the Pingnan Wangfu would still be able to see others in the future.

  The cloud held the letter tightly in her hand, and her hatred for Qin Zheng suddenly swelled up in her heart. She gave him a fierce glance, "I will not let it go so easily."

  She took him away.

  Mo Gongzhu looked at Qin Yi.

  "Big, big sister." Qin Yi felt a bit intimidated when he saw this half-sister.

  "As for the iron box left by Grandfather to Qin Zheng, I am aware of it. There's nothing good inside anyway. If it were truly something valuable, do you think Grandfather would not leave it to his own descendants?" said Mo Gong Zhu.

  Qin Yi's forehead was sweating, and he stuttered: "I, I also think so, think so."

  Princess Mo let out a soft sigh, "You can go back now."

  Qin Yiru was pardoned by the emperor and hastily took off with her entourage.

  At this time, Qin Zheng came up close.

  "The princess should have arrived long ago." Qin Zheng had already ordered someone to bring that single-horned demon tiger back to the hunting grounds.

  "How did you know?" Mu Gong Zhu asked with a smile.

  "That letter was obviously written by the princess a long time ago. It seems that even if I had encountered danger in the hunting grounds, the princess would have taken action to let me return safely."

  Mo Gongzhu smiled lightly and said: "No wonder Grandfather said your future is boundless, you thought of a letter, hmm, you won't blame me, will you?"

  Shaking his head, Qin Zheng said: "The princess secretly protected me, I should be thanking her instead."

  "How can I not be sincere? My heart must have been uncomfortable." Princess Mo waved her hand to interrupt Qin Zheng's words, "If it were me, I would feel the same way. Father died saving Old Master Wang, but was treated this way by his grandson, who wouldn't feel uncomfortable?"

  Qin Zheng smiled and didn't say anything.

  Mo Gongzhu said: "I already knew about this matter. This time you gave me another chance to thoroughly defeat Pingnan King, I should thank you."

  "The princess intends to thank me, if it's just a slight increase in monthly allowance, then forget it." Qin Zheng said.

  "I'm not that petty." Mo Gongzhu said with a pause, "I'll abolish your slave status, from now on, you are the third-class guest of my royal manor."

  Qin Zheng was stunned.

  He had some doubts about his ears.

  Abolish slave status, and he is no longer a lowly person who can hold his head high and face anyone with confidence.

  "Thank you, Princess!" Qin Zheng said with great joy.

  "From now on, your monthly allowance will be increased to one thousand gold coins. If you have any business, you can freely enter my ink pavilion." Princess Mo said.

  One thousand gold coins a month, as much as the first-class guest of the Wang Fu.

  Nature, Qin policy monthly example didn't have much surprise, but this free entry into Mo Ge, was a different story.

  Mo Ge is the place where Mo Gong Zhu resides in the East Sea Wang Fu, a place that ordinary people are not qualified to enter. This also means telling Qin Zheng that if something happens in the future, don't be afraid, Mo Gong Zhu will be your backing!

  "Walk with me." Mo Gong Zhu said softly.

  Qin Zheng nodded and followed beside him, half a body length behind.

  The two of them climbed back up the high slope.

  Mo Gong pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down."

  Qin Zheng was shocked, turned his head to look around, and found that they were in a high place where everyone could see them. He realized that by sitting together with Mo Gongzhu like this, it was as if she was announcing to the entire city of Da Yan that he, Qin Zheng, was her person, and anyone who dared to bully him would have to answer to her. It was also a warning to the Ping Nan Wang Fu not to target him on purpose because of their bet.

  This moved Qin Zheng even more.

  Since old Wang's death, no one has been as good to him as this.

  Sitting next to Princess Mo, Qin Zheng said in a low voice: "Thank you, Princess."

  "I just wanted to sit with you, no need to thank me." Mo Gongzhu smiled lightly and smoothed out her hair in front of her forehead, making her pale face look even more pitiful.

  Qin Zheng saw it with his own eyes, and a strong impulse surged in his heart. He wanted to break through the Force Martial Realm as soon as possible, reach the Qi Martial Realm, and have the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus produce its divine power. With this so-called ultimate cultivation that could grant one immortality, he would use the Divine Lotus' power to treat Mo Gongzhu.

  Mo Gongzhu hugged her knees with both hands and said: "I'll help you deal with the iron box, so that no one will have any suspicions about it."

  "What's inside the iron box?" Qin Zheng had always been puzzled by that iron box.

  "I don't know either. Grandfather only told me that the Wang Manor may face a catastrophic disaster in the future, and to avoid this calamity, there is only that iron box." Princess Mo said.

  Qin Zheng's face was filled with shock and confusion. "The Wang Manor's calamity? The iron box saving them? Then why did they entrust the iron box to me for safekeeping?"

  Princess Mo shook her head, "I'm not clear either, you just need to remember that when the palace is in danger, you open the iron box."

  "What kind of disaster could befall the Wang estate?" Qin Zheng asked.

  "It won't be long now." Mo Gongzhu said faintly, "Rumors have emerged on the Divine Martial Continent that there is a Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra within the palace. Although this has not been confirmed yet, it has already caught everyone's attention."

  Qin Zheng heard this and almost fell over.
