Chapter 1599: Chapter 1579: The Recognized Prince
"Animal skin? This should need a professional hunter to identify, right?" Wang Mazi couldn’t help but say. Ordinary hunters at most know the types around their homes; how could they know such details?
"I’m afraid they wouldn’t know either." Luo Qianqian shook her head. Even when she held it in her hand, she felt nothing, no elemental fluctuations, as if it was an object without attributes.
But an animal without attributes... does that mean such an animal cannot cultivate?
However, if the animal hasn’t cultivated, how can its fur be so resilient?
It couldn’t be burned, not even a single hair fell.
It couldn’t be submerged, with no sign of shrinkage, nor did the fur become harder, it just seemed cleaner as if the dirt was washed away.
When forcefully pulled, it felt like playing tug-of-war with herself.
"I’ve seen something similar to this before." Huangfu Yihui unknowingly approached as well, deeply interested in this map rumored to be worth three hundred thousand Intermediate Spirit Stones. But upon inspection, he couldn’t understand anything; there was nothing on it, like a blank sheet of paper, or rather, yellow paper.
The color of kraft paper, but compared to kraft paper, this was evidently more textured. Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but think, with such a texture, making a pair of shoes or a leather jacket would be extremely comfortable.
But the skin is too small; making a piece of clothing is obviously not enough. This size can only cover the front to make a short skirt.
"You’ve seen this?" Luo Qianqian looked at Huangfu Yihui in surprise, knowing he was a prince. The things a prince could see must not be ordinary, making Luo Qianqian very curious about the true nature of this object.
Just what kind of map is this? Could it be the secret realm map that Yang Feng mentioned? Even if it is, it might be too late.
"I think I’ve seen it, this texture is very familiar..." Huangfu Yihui frowned deeply and called over to Huangfu Yanyao, "Brother, come take a look."
Huangfu Yanyao came over and carefully examined it, feeling the temperature with his palm, but it didn’t seem so familiar, so he shook his head at Huangfu Yihui.
"It doesn’t seem that familiar..."
"How can that be? I find it extremely familiar..." Huangfu Yihui looked at Huangfu Yanyao in disbelief.
They are biological brothers, after all; even in an environment harsher than the ease of the Imperial Palace, the treatment both received was a lot better.
You could basically say it was identical.
Yet there was no reason for one to have it and not the other; they should both possess the same things, right?
Suddenly, the two stood speechless, filled with confusion.
If it was something Huangfu Yihui loved so much, Huangfu Yanyao felt he should know, yet he had no impression of it at all. The texture was nice, but there still was no impression of it...
At this moment, the courtyard door opened, and He Wenyu called out joyfully, "Shiqi, I brought something fun back for you."
Luo Qianqian looked over in confusion and saw He Wenyu holding a pair of bright and very eye-catching white jade beads, about the size of a baby’s fist, round and glossy, emitting a brilliant glow, very conspicuous even during the day.
"The Eldest Princess said these are called Male and Female Plants. You can’t notice them from afar, but the closer they are, the brighter they get. Aren’t they fun?" He Wenyu excitedly stuffed one into Luo Qianqian’s hand, then ran out. Luo Qianqian looked at it from side to side but didn’t notice the bead dimming.
Raising an eyebrow, she jumped up quickly, leaping onto the rooftop, and after a few hops, the small courtyard had turned into a tiny black dot. At this point, she saw the bead dim a bit, but it still emitted a very clear glow, making it quite intriguing.
These two things would make a nice lamp when put together, wouldn’t they? So bright.
But it might be cumbersome when not in use, right?
Thinking this, she returned to the courtyard, watching He Wenyu’s smug look, and laughed, "What do you do when you’re not using it?"
"Just put it away. Out of sight, out of mind." With that, he casually stuffed the bead into a space ring, smiling proudly: "Isn’t this thing great? Even better than a phone, lighting up means it’s nearby." He pointed to the bead already lit in Luo Qianqian’s hand: "Most importantly, it isn’t affected by space."
"Why do I feel these things have an extraordinary origin?" Luo Qianqian examined them closely, planning to ask Mo, but suddenly saw Huangfu Yihui and Huangfu Yanyao both frozen in place, a very familiar figure facing them.
The Eldest Princess.
Oh right, these three are related by blood...
Watching them stand there silently, Luo Qianqian also felt a bit awkward for a moment; isn’t this quite a comedy scene?
First helping two princes become fugitives, then helping a princess secretly get pregnant—if this gets exposed, Nine Heavens Pavilion wouldn’t be able to survive, and they would definitely end up on the Southern Li’s blacklist.
Cong Ying’s eyes on the side were also full of astonishment.
Despite having never seen these two, comparing their similar profiles immediately revealed a blood relationship, and she covered her mouth, recalling past royal secrets...
Her expression was quite peculiar for a moment; after all, she wasn’t of royal blood, so it was better to stay silent.
So she quietly lowered her head, pretending not to see this scene unfolding before her.
The Eldest Princess remained silent for a while before slowly speaking, "Mr. Twelve, Mr. Thirteen."
Upon hearing the Eldest Princess’s address, not only Cong Ying, but even Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu were stunned. What kind of address was that?
Both Huangfu Yihui and Huangfu Yanyao were stunned for a moment. Then they exchanged smiles and respectfully saluted the Eldest Princess, "Greetings, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."
After all, their former identities were prominent, making it difficult to perform a true salute, so they merely said such words.
The Eldest Princess also smiled, "No wonder you two need masks in the marketplace; you resemble two deceased princes of our royal family so much."
With one sentence, she elevated the two from fugitives to ordinary Sect Disciples. The Eldest Princess looked at the two and made a half-bow with elegance.
According to royal protocol, these two’s status was higher, but now all they had was the identity of cultivators, not the most promising His Royal Highness. Were she to perform a full bow, it would be inviting gossip.
Luo Qianqian quietly watched the three of them interact and glanced at He Wenyu, "Knock before entering, don’t you know it even as the host while the guest does?"
He Wenyu pouted, "I forgot..."
