Third Princess?
Qingfeng Li was astonished. He had guessed that the purple-haired beauty had a powerful background, but he had not expected she was the third princess of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.
Seeing the shock in his eyes, Third Princess tilted her little head and said proudly, “Humph, so you never imagined that I was actually the third princess.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “No, I didn’t. I thought you were one of the maids.”
Displeasure flashed in the Third Princess’s eyes. She extended her white fingers and pinched hard on his arm, causing him to grimace at the sharp pain.
The Third Princess was very beautiful but her little hand was very strong and merciless.
Qingfeng Li was not happy with the treatment but he could do nothing about it since he was still bound by the Purple Spirit King Rope and couldn’t move.
He was quite frustrated. As a half-step Spirit King Realm master, he had always been the one in charge, but now he was the one who became the captive.
The Third Princess’s palace was very beautiful with statues, pavilions, gardens, and a pond where all kinds of gold fish swam happily.
After a while, Third Princess took Qingfeng Li into a room.
It was a beautiful room built with jade and shiny crystals. On a table stood a luminous pearl the size of a fist.
Qingfeng Li thought it was a night pearl, but it was actually a water repellent bead.
“Little brat, that white bead is a treasure. You must take it,” the voice of the Fire Dragon sounded in Qingfeng Li’s head.
“What treasure is it?” Qingfeng Li asked in his mind.
“If I am right, it is a water repellent bead of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. It is very helpful to self-cultivators since it can both increase a male cultivator’s strength and maintain a female cultivator’s beauty.” The Fire Dragon’s words tempted Qingfeng Li to get the water repellent bead.
Excitement was written all over Qingfeng’s face. Even without the Fire Dragon’s encouragement, he would still try to snatch the water repellent bead.
It was a legendary treasure of the Dragon Palace, and he planned to take it and give it to Xue Lin as a wedding gift.
Of course, the first thing he needed to do was to escape from the rope. He tried to think of a way to trick the Third Princess.
He said abruptly, “Your Highness, I am hungry. Can you give me something to eat?”
The Third Princess shook her head with a snort, “You are my captive and you dare ask for food? You can keep dreaming.”
Qingfeng Li protested, “Even captives have basic human rights. You can’t starve your captives.”
“I will give you food if you give me your King-tier spiritual device,” the Third Princess said with a frown.
She still remembered that Qingfeng Li had a King-tier spiritual device. She was quite persistent when she saw something she wanted.
Qingfeng Li shook his head. He would not hand over the King-tier spiritual device for a meal because, no matter how one looked at it, it was a horrible deal.
At Qingfeng Li’s refusal, the Third Princess tied him to a chair and told the maid to place a lot of delicious food on the table.
She took a big shrimp and waved it in front of Qingfeng’s face before eating it.
“Hungry? I won’t give you any food~” The Third Princess smiled slyly after eating a chicken leg.
She continued eating but every time before she ate something, she would wave the food in front of Qingfeng just to tempt him. Qingfeng Li was angered by her behavior.
“Little beauty, you may have a beautiful appearance but you have an evil mind,” Qingfeng Li complained with a frown.
“Hey, how can you say I am evil?” Third Princess was not pleased.
“Humph, you eat your meal but won’t give me any food, don’t you think that is being wicked?”
“It is all your fault. Why didn’t you give me your king-tier spiritual device?”
“Third Princess, it’s not right to ask me to hand over the King-tier spiritual device which I had gotten only by risking my life. Would you have given me your Sensory Conch if I had asked?” Qingfeng Li questioned.
At Qingfeng Li’s words, a trace of shame flashed over her innocent face but she suppressed it instantly.
She said coldly, “It’s still your fault. Your cruise ship travelled on the territory of Eastern Sea Dragon Palace and you have to pay the toll. Understand?”
Toll?
Qingfeng Li was stupefied with rage. It was impossible to reason with Third Princess, who learned to collect tolls at such a young age.
You never collect tolls from other passing cruise ships, but now you want to collect from me?! Qingfeng Li was quite incensed.
If he could get out of the ropes he would give the Third Princess a good beating.
“Wow! I’m so full,” the Third Princess sighed, patting her belly.
Her belly was as round as a little gourd and her mouth glistened with grease. At the sight of this Qingfeng’s belly growled in hunger.
After the meal, she ate a fruit, which was her everyday habit.
The fruit was an ocean floor apple. Different from the apples on land, it was a spiritual fruit containing a large amount of vital essence.
She finished the ocean apple quickly and a wisp of white mist floated from her red lips. She had gained a lot of vital essence from the fruit.
No wonder she had reached the Spirit King realm at such a young age. Her power increased everyday by eating the spirit fruits, even if she didn’t train at all.
“Her Highness the Second Princess, welcome to our palace!” the maid standing outside announced loudly.
The maid was standing guard outside of the room and would block anyone who tried to gain entrance. But she couldn’t stop the Second Princess so she had to announce her arrival in a loud voice to warn the Third Princess.
At the maid’s announcement, the Third Princess’s expression changed. She had not expected her second sister would come.
Third Princess feared nothing but her second sister, the Second Princess.
She paced around the room anxiously without a clue of what to do.
“Little troublemaker, you are capable of becoming nervous too? If your second sister finds out that you hid a man in your palace, you are dead meat,” Qingfeng Li said with a faint smile.
The Third Princess’s face turned pale. She couldn’t let her second senior sister know about it or she would be grounded.
