Chapter 497: Chapter 170: The Little Prince of Great Zhou! The Destiny Coffin Appears Again! (A 10,000-Word Mega Chapter, Subscription Requested)_3
The Little Prince patted his chest and said he would treat everyone to thank them for their kindness, including Fan Wu and the others.
Fan Wu and the others didn’t refuse.
And so,
The group gathered around a round table inside the inn, which was laden with all kinds of mountain delicacies and seafood.
The Little Prince exhibited none of the airs one would expect from a prince. Perhaps because of his young age, he didn’t seem to fully grasp how special his status within the Great Zhou Dynasty really was.
With a roasted chicken leg in hand, he asked with genuine curiosity, "Nanjun? Are you from Nanjun? I think I’ve heard Hu Banban mention Nanjun before."
Hu Banban chimed in, "Indeed, I have spoken of Nanjun in front of Your Highness."
Hu Banban continued, "However, it should be only Daoist Fan Wu and Miss Yun Jiuqing who have come from Nanjun. This young Taoist Priest, Xing Fengzi, is from Di Zu Guan. If I remember correctly, Di Zu Guan should be located within the central regions of Great Zhou, right?"
Xing Fengzi nodded, "Mr. Hu is correct. I met Daoist Fan Wu and Yun Scholar on my way down from the mountain to gain experience."
"Hey, hey, hey!" The Little Prince said eagerly, "Did you encounter any demons and devils on your way from so far away?"
He was particularly keen on this subject, "What do those demons and devils look like?"
"Your Highness, it’s probably not good to talk about such topics so late at night," Hu Banban expressed his concern, "You snuck out here, and we don’t have any members of the Imperial Secret Service with us!"
"What’s there to be afraid of?" The Little Prince said nonchalantly, "Aren’t my lifesavers right here?"
"This..." Hu Banban gave a bitter smile.
The Little Prince was good in many ways, but was overly willful and had a rather rebellious nature. He enjoyed causing a bit of a stir and was very interested in things pertaining to gods and spirits.
This time, the Little Prince had slipped out on a tall horse.
If not for Hu Banban’s timely discovery,
He probably wouldn’t have been able to keep up!
"We’ve certainly encountered demons and devils along the way," Xing Fengzi answered with a smile, "I’ve run into quite a few on this journey. But I think the ones I’ve met are few."
"The demons and devils Daoist Fan Wu and Yun Scholar have encountered are probably more numerous than all the people I’ve met in my lifetime."
"Oh? Really?" The Little Prince turned his gaze towards Yun Jiuqing and Fan Wu.
To be exact, he was looking at Yun Jiuqing.
After all...
Fan Wu’s presence was a bit overwhelming for him.
In front of Fan Wu, the Little Prince felt as if he were in the presence of his own father.
Which made him a little timid.
"Yes... quite a lot indeed," Yun Jiuqing recalled her overnight journey in the Netherworld, the scenes as vivid as if they happened just moments ago. She paused, then spoke, "I can’t give a precise number, roughly one or two thousand maybe?"
"One or two thousand!!" The Little Prince’s eyes widened in shock. Despite his young age, he was educated enough to understand the enormity of that number.
Even Hu Banban was momentarily stunned; the figure was indeed staggering, his expression holding a tinge of skepticism.
Clearly, any normal person would question whether Yun Jiuqing was exaggerating.
After all, it was rather preposterous!
Just then,
A man with damp hair tiptoed down from the second floor of the inn, as if not wanting to make noise and attract someone’s attention.
Unfortunately for him, someone with particularly sharp senses had already noticed him the moment he appeared.
This wet-haired individual was none other than the Nanjun County Prince.
Because earlier, Fan Wu had told him to go take a good bath.
So, the Nanjun County Prince had done exactly that.
Feeling Fan Wu’s gaze upon him again, the Nanjun County Prince coughed awkwardly under the great pressure known only to himself, then scurried over.
After noticing an empty seat,
he carefully took a seat.
Then the Nanjun County Prince realized that it wasn’t just Fan Wu watching him, but also a fellow lacking testicles, seemingly staring at him in astonishment.
It made him quite uncomfortable.
Did he look like some sort of rare animal?
The Nanjun County Prince thought his appearance was rather normal, wasn’t it?
On the other hand, the Nanjun County Prince found himself strangely drawn to this little blockhead without testicles, noticing an uncanny resemblance between them.
The Nanjun County Prince was taken aback.
As soon as he realized that this Little Prince bore some resemblance to him, flashes of images flickered through his mind, elusive and hard to catch.
Though the images passed through his mind, he couldn’t discern what exactly were in them.
That’s when,
Hu Banban’s incredulous voice suddenly rose, "Is this hysterical... This mighty man also someone who came with Daoist Fan Wu and Miss Yun Jiuqing from Nanjun?"
The Nanjun County Prince furrowed his brow; after all, this was the only person who had spoken to him along the way.
He wasn’t used to it.
Yet, he still replied with a cold countenance, "I am from there, so what?"
