Chapter 1055: Chapter 920 Fair Competition Chapter 1055: Chapter 920 Fair Competition Soul Pet Palace

A woman lay quietly in her palace chamber, her eyelashes trembling slightly as though she were waking from a long slumber.

Her eyes glistened with a bright luster, enchanting and almost dazzling, curiously surveying her surroundings.

“What has happened to me?” the woman asked softly.

“Pang Yue, you’re finally awake!” Joyful voices reached her ears.

Pang Yue gradually regained consciousness, her memory halting at the moment she escaped from Poisonous Desolation Nie Yunbin’s ambush and then fainted in front of the Soul Pet Palace.

“Little Yue, you were poisoned by Nie Yunbin. It was Elder Pang who especially went to the Land of Insect Disaster in the Northern Forbidden Area to find a cure for you, allowing you to wake up,” Madam Xiao sat by Pang Yue’s bed, gently stroking her hair with her hands.

“Father… Where is my father?” Pang Yue looked around but did not see Elder Pang.

Being well aware of the dangers of the Land of Insect Disaster in the Northern Forbidden Area, the thought of her father venturing into such peril to save her brought tears to her eyes.

“Elder Pang is currently dealing with Nie Yunbin. Rest assured, Elder Pang will soon avenge you,” a man standing by the bed said.

“Yes, but Nie Yunbin is tough to deal with, so I want my father to be careful,” Pang Yue said, her voice tinged with worry.

“The poison has just been removed from your system; rest up for a while,” Madam Xiao helped Pang Yue lay back down and then glanced at the people around, concerned for Pang Yue, signaling them to leave for the time being.

Apart from Madam Xiao, most of the people who had come to visit were young men, each one attentive and polite, saying a few words to put Pang Yue at ease, and then they all left one after another.

“Hmph, Nie Yunbin must not be let off lightly!” the man who had spoken earlier said with righteous indignation.

“Young Master Qin, if you can’t even handle one of Nie Yunbin’s men, how do you plan on dealing with Nie Yunbin lightly?” At this moment, another man spoke with a tone of mockery.

The man referred to as Young Master Qin glared fiercely at the guy who was deliberately picking a fight with him.

Young Master Qin was all too aware that this Jiang Feng didn’t want him to get too close to Pang Yue, for fear that he would take her away.

However, who didn’t know by now that Elder Pang already intended to betroth Pang Yue to Qin Yutong? If it weren’t for the fact that Pang Yue had suffered an assassination attempt, they might have already been at the stage of arranging a marriage.

Qin Yutong’s gaze swept over the few people beside him, all undoubtedly here for Pang Yue, and not one of them was easy to deal with.

The one who had just spoken sarcastically was none other than Jiang Feng, the eldest son of Jiang Demon Emperor of Nightmare Demon Palace, whose strength was second only to Shen Mo, the number one expert of their generation in the Nightmare Demon Palace.

The Soul Pet Palace and Nightmare Demon Palace had always kept to their own waters, and while marriages between them had been infrequent in the past, they did occur. Now, with the alliance of the Three Great Palaces, marriage between the palaces had become more common. The influence of Jiang Demon Emperor alone within the Three Great Palaces was significant, and his eldest son Jiang Feng was of exceptional strength, showing promise of surpassing his father. To win the beauty, Qin Yutong would have to defeat this strong rival.

And standing next to Jiang Feng was none other than Xiao Yufeng, the Fifth Young Master of Soul Hall, who had already been marked on the blacklist by Soul Covenant.

The reason was simple: Xiao Yufeng, a master of Demon Spirit Soul Pets, had managed to kill two Trace Rank powerhouses on his own, without leaving any evidence behind. In Wanxiang City, where the Three Great Palaces were constantly vying for power in the shadows, fatalities were rare, and when they did occur, they were dealt with according to the law. That the Fifth Young Master Xiao Yufeng had killed two Trace Rank powerhouses in such a splendid manner and left the Soul Covenant with no means of retaliation was indeed a cause for celebration.

Because of this, Xiao Yufeng had cemented his extremely high position among the Three Great Palaces and represented one of the most outstanding individuals among the younger generation.

Someone with such identity, status, and strength was definitely qualified to compete for the same woman as Qin Yutong.

One of the other two was Xiao Hai, the son of the former former king of the World Realm, King Xiao. Madam Xiao, King Xiao’s second wife, was referred to as stepmother by Xiao Hai. Even though King Xiao was now missing, Madam Xiao herself was a highly skilled Soul Pet Master. Under her tutelage, Xiao Hai had honed his own abilities and was quite famous in both the Wanxiang Realm and the World Realm.

The other was Wang Baisha, dubbed “The Youngest Elder,” a strong one from the Soul Pet Palace.

Of course, because of the sudden emergence of someone from the Soul Hall, Wang Baisha’s position as the youngest elder was somewhat shaken.

“It’s still too early to say whose hands the deer will die in, Qin Yutong. You may not be the one who will have the last laugh,” Xiao Hai, known for his straightforward temper, made his intention clear to vie for the position of the princely consort.

“Hey, hey, instead of ‘whose hands the deer will die in’, it should be ‘to whose house the flower will fall’. Let’s not harm the friendly atmosphere, let’s not harm the harmony,” Wang Baisha said with a gentle smile on his face.

“All you guys, stop daydreaming here. Don’t tell me you are unaware of the biggest competitor who has already appeared,” said Xiao Yufeng, smiling at this time.

“The biggest competitor? Who are you talking about?” Qin Yutong was the first to look serious and asked.

The other few didn’t look happy either; with the five of them here, it was already competitive enough, and another contender would give them a real headache.

“You’re really out of the loop, not even knowing that the person who has recently risen to prominence has arrived in Wanxiang City,” said Xiao Yufeng, stroking his chin.

“Are you talking about the Crown Prince? Impossible, everyone knows that guy isn’t interested in women,” exclaimed Xiao Hai, surprise in his voice.

Xiao Yufeng immediately coughed dryly, his face embarrassed.

The other three also glared at Xiao Hai, one of them saying, “Xiao Hai, do you have a death wish, spouting such nonsense? If these words reach the Crown Prince’s ears, you can forget about the position of the princely consort.”

Xiao Hai hadn’t been in the Wanxiang Realm for long and didn’t know much about that unique Crown Prince, only hearing that the guy seemed not very interested in women.

“The Crown Prince is just diligent in training and seldom socializes with women. Perhaps his targets are the two goddesses. How can we mere mortals compare to him?” said Xiao Yufeng, the Fifth Young Master.

After the alliance of the Three Great Palaces, if one refers to “the Crown Prince” without a prefix, it definitely does not mean the Nightmare Demon Palace Crown Prince Shen Mo nor the Soul Pet Palace Crown Prince Li Yun, but the Soul Hall Crown Prince Chao Leng Chuan!

Crown Prince Chao Leng Chuan could be described as uninvolved in worldly affairs, but if he decided to compete, regardless of whether it was any Fifth Young Master, a Demon Emperor’s Son, or a King’s descendant, they would all have to step aside.

“So who are you talking about? Could it be Shen Mo, who likes to do things in the dark?” Qin Yutong asked, puzzled.

“…” Xiao Yufeng had thought that with the information he revealed just now, they would have realized who he was referring to, but none of them did.

Could it be that only those within the Soul Hall and those who had been affected within the Soul Covenant really understood about that person, and everyone else still didn’t know his great name? Xiao Yufeng thought to himself.

“It’s Chu Fangchen,” Xiao Yufeng decided there was no point in beating around the bush with these people and simply stated the name directly.

“Chu Fangchen?” The four of them looked at each other, all seeming to struggle to recall who Chu Fangchen was.

“`

“Forget it, as if I hadn’t said anything.” Xiao Yufeng could tell from the expressions of the four people that none of them recognized Chu Fangchen!

It seemed Soul Hall had done an excellent job keeping secrets, such a significant matter had yet to spread, and Xiao Yufeng had thought the whole World knew about Chu Fangchen.

“Hey, is Chu Fangchen that impressive?” Xiao Hai was the first to ask.

This group was already the cream of the crop among the younger generation, either knowing or having heard of each other, but the name Chu Fangchen was completely unfamiliar. The man had just come to Wanxiang City, there was no need for Xiao Yufeng to act as though the entire grand Wanxiang City would be shaken by his arrival.

“I think I’ve heard a little bit, he is said to have performed excellently in Snow City, and his strength must be quite formidable,” Jiang Feng felt he had some impression of him, but he didn’t know the specifics.

“Who cares who he is, coming here with designs on Princess Pang Yue, I won’t let him off easily!” Qin Yutong declared.

The other four all wore looks of disdain. Since when did Princess Pang Yue become yours, Qin Yutong? That’s just how shameless the people of the Qin Family are!

“If we start fighting over this, we’re bound to get a scolding from those old folks for neglecting our duties, and no one wants to step down. But I have a method that would allow us all to compete fairly,” Wang Baisha, the youngest Elder among them, who seldom spoke, said.

“What fair competition? She’s mine!” Qin Yutong said unhappily.

“Go on,” said Xiao Yufeng.

“This time Princess Pang Yue was almost hurt due to that Nie Yunbin’s actions. We must take revenge since it’s not only about Princess Pang Yue, but also about the honor of our Three Great Palaces. Elder Pang is currently giving Soul Covenant trouble, but as you know, the older generation has many considerations and limitations. In this Wanxiang City, if they make a move, it could certainly trigger a great battle. Younger generation like us is different, as long as there’s no evidence… ”

“Stop the nonsense,” Xiao Hai interjected impatiently.

“What I mean is, let us handle this revenge. The target is Nie Yunbin. Whoever takes down the most and the strongest of his men will be credited the most, and then, that person will have the most right to marry Princess Pang Yue,” Wang Baisha stated.

“What if we take down Nie Yunbin himself?” asked Xiao Yufeng with a smirk.

“Then we’ll be throwing petals and blocking drinks for him and Princess Pang Yue at their wedding,” Wang Baisha responded.

“Fair enough,” Jiang Feng nodded.

“No objections. After all, she is mine,” Qin Yutong said.

“Agreed.”

…

Inside the bedroom, Madam Xiao personally brought a bowl of hot soup to Princess Pang Yue, helped her sit up, and carefully served her.

Princess Pang Yue was somewhat restrained; after all, considering Madam Xiao’s position, it was extraordinary for her to attend to her.

Madam Xiao noticed Princess Pang Yue’s unease and smiled gently, glancing out the window. “Get well soon. Those guys are so anxious, they are all on the verge of fighting. It’s evident they all like you a lot,” Madam Xiao said.

With these words from Madam Xiao, a blush spread across Princess Pang Yue’s sickly pale face as she whispered shyly, “They’re just concerned as friends…”

Madam Xiao didn’t press the issue and continued, “Speaking of which, you being awake now is largely thanks to a youth.”

Princess Pang Yue looked puzzled at Madam Xiao, as she had been told it was her father who had gone to the Northern Forbidden Area to find a cure that removed her poison.

Madam Xiao then briefly recounted the events that had occurred in the Northern Forbidden Area.

“Are you telling me that I woke up because of Chu Mu, who has turned into a demon, and it was his Soul Pet that saved me?”

“Yeah, and your father too. If it hadn’t been for his Soul Pet stepping in, it’s unlikely your father would have escaped the Blood Barbarian Thunder Dragon’s clutches,” Madam Xiao explained.

“Then I really have to give my thanks to this Chu Mu. However, if he has demonized, is there any chance he could wake up from it?” Princess Pang Yue asked.

Madam Xiao shook her head, “It’s highly improbable.”

Princess Pang Yue sighed softly. She had not expected her own life and her father’s to be so intertwined with a youth they had never even met. Such a debt of gratitude indeed required a personal act of thanks. It was a pity that such an outstanding Soul Pet Master had died so young; truly, heaven envies the talented!

“Madam Xiao…” At this moment, a female attendant walked swiftly toward her and whispered a few words in Madam Xiao’s ear.

“Oh? Is it Chu Fangchen, the youth who has shown outstanding performance both in Snow City and Spirit City?” Madam Xiao’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

“Indeed, he’s now in Soul Hall. The Elders of Soul Hall are hosting a banquet tonight to welcome him and introduce him to the internal top level of our Three Great Palaces,” the attendant stated.

Soul Hall was still intentionally keeping Chu Fangchen low-profile, so the announcement of his arrival and status remained confined to the top level of the Three Great Palaces.

“In that case, let’s take a trip to Soul Hall tonight,” said Madam Xiao, who was naturally aware of Chu Fangchen’s exploits. Such a remarkable personage certainly deserved a meeting.

Princess Pang Yue, half propped up in bed, asked curiously, “Madam Xiao, who is Chu Fangchen, and why all the grandeur?”

“He could be considered the second Crown Prince,” Madam Xiao said with a slight smile.

“Second Crown Prince? Does this mean he’s as powerful as the Crown Prince?” Princess Pang Yue asked in surprise.

“Not yet, I suppose, but he’s indeed formidable. Soul Hall has deliberately kept his affairs secret, and the wronged Soul Covenant hasn’t spread the news either. However, you should definitely make his acquaintance,” Madam Xiao said. Although she had only heard of Chu Fangchen’s deeds, they were enough to earn her high praise!

“Hmm, may I attend tonight?” Princess Pang Yue asked, nodding. A person who could be equated with a Crown Prince was definitely worth getting to know.

“You can. The poison is cleared from your system, and it will be beneficial for you to move around a bit in the evening,” Madam Xiao said.

Chu Fangchen? Princess Pang Yue genuinely hadn’t heard of him before.

She also couldn’t help but wonder who this Chu Fangchen was, to warrant such high regard from the top level of the Three Great Palaces, they even convened all the upper echelons to hold a reception for him.
