Chapter 161: Chapter 89: Return, Prince Qing and the Princess Consort
With such attribute support, he could easily go several days without sleep.
What troubled him now was the cultivation problem after "procreating offspring."
Increase the magic form?
It seemed unfeasible because after several tests, he roughly understood that "each magic form requires a full 30 spirit attributes to maintain sanity." His current spirit attribute of 90 was already at its limit; where could he get an extra 30 spirit attribute points?
Break through the realm after the magic form?
That wouldn’t work either.
From the "Secret Martial Root Map" to the "Magic Form Realm," there was at least a direction, which was to "complete a Secret Martial Arts system." But now the "magic form" seemed to have no "compatibility issues."
The level of the Prime Minister’s mansion was still at digesting the "first magic form," so naturally, they couldn’t know what the realm behind it was, and this temporarily cut off his path of cultivation.
Then, the only remaining path was to actively hunt demons to gain attribute points.
Previously, his strength and intelligence network were insufficient, but now, having achieved the "Three Magic Form Realm" and possessing demon blood like the "Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat," he had some confidence to confront them directly.
Moreover, the evil ghost of the "Tiger Demon," the bones of the "Skull Flower" also granted him ample exploration capability. Combined with the Prime Minister’s massive information network...
It was enough.
Next were some scattered issues that needed to be resolved.
Firstly, his missing elder sister, whom Li Xuan still couldn’t figure out where she and that attendant had gone.
Then, how to consume the Tang Monk meat of the Peacock Buddha Mother, and whether it was possible to only take a bite, and what would happen to Rose after consuming it.
Then, the Three Calamities... he vaguely felt that if those three demons were still around, confronting the Three Calamities would be a matter of time.
Finally, after returning to Xiongshan County, the balance with the court. The so-called "Alien Monarch" was often merely a "compromise" product. As long as both sides remained balanced, there would be no problems. But eventually, this balance would break, then... he needed to act first to gain the upper hand.
As he pondered, Li Xuan glanced at the Little Princess sleeping in his arms.
Now, with his burly physique and powerful build, any woman appeared petite to him.
He gazed at the exquisitely beautiful body full of youthful vigor, and suddenly, his mind stirred, rising to a bit of restlessness.
The Little Princess seemed to sense something and woke up from her dream in fright, but didn’t dare open her eyes.
Just the trembling of her eyelids, the whitening of her complexion, and the change in her heartbeat easily revealed this to Li Xuan.
’I’m becoming more and more terrifying.’
Li Xuan sighed silently in his heart as he looked at his powerful body, this "appearance still within the normal human perception" was entirely the result of his complete relaxation.
Whenever he exerted some strength, his human appearance would quickly change.
Therefore, women close to him might not see his "inhuman form," but could still feel that terror.
That was life’s instinctive fear.
"Ah..."
Li Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
The startled Little Princess didn’t know why the man behind her sighed.
She didn’t understand, nor did she dare ask.
Li Xuan looked into the distance, recalling three years ago when he was just a young man with even an unassuming eight-pack.
But now?
After hearing the sigh, the Little Princess heard no more.
She mustered up courage, like an army rallying, restoring morale, resolute to face death as if returning home.
No matter what stormy weather or devastating attack, she could face it bravely.
She proudly stood upright, with her neck held high.
She was ready to sacrifice herself without hesitation.
But, the cunning enemy forces never struck.
Slowly, slowly... the Little Princess fell asleep again.
...
...
The next day.
The Little Princess groggily opened her eyes, feeling her whole body weak and limp.
Clearly, last night’s enemy’s feints had drained her of considerable energy.
Turning her head, she found her man was already gone.
And outside the room came the sound of swords and knives whizzing in the air.
The Little Princess, dressed in her inner garments, and wearing her jade slippers, ran to the window, looked outside, and saw the tall and imposing Prince Qing wielding a saber in his left hand and a sword in his right, dancing in the late summer morning breeze.
To be honest, the Little Princess knew nothing about her man’s capabilities, only knowing that he was formidable, being officially declared as Great Yin’s number one.
But exactly how formidable, the Little Princess didn’t have a clear understanding.
She only vaguely recalled her sovereign brother mentioning "he can summon a magic form."
What is a magic form?
It’s a dark-colored monster about ten feet tall.
To the Little Princess, such power already counted as a demon, didn’t it?
Although Great Yin had acknowledged and legitimatized secret martial artists, it still couldn’t change many people’s deep-rooted perspectives.
Being able to summon a terrifying dark-colored monster, if not a demon, then what is it?
At this moment, Zhao Qingxue rested her chin on her hand, sunlight wrapped in cicada sounds poured in from outside, faintly spilling over her delicately refined face through the oil paper window.
She intently watched Prince Qing perform his sword dance.
After watching for a while, she noticed that Prince Qing’s sword dance was very slow.
But although slow, every move was heavy, with a sense of beating the air.
The Little Princess quickly lost interest and ran to the bronze mirror, admiring the beauty in it, murmuring in her heart: ’Survived another night.’
Then, she squeezed her little fists and thought to herself: ’All for the peace of Great Yin.’
Reaching for the makeup box, she took a comb, then put it down, tiptoed to the window again, looked outside, and hesitated.
Li Xuan directly put down his sword and shouted outside, "Shi He, come serve your lady."
