Chapter 448: 238: Ji Min, surround and kill Turing Chen!

"Not seeing anyone..." Zhi Ning said bluntly.

The maid outside was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

But not long after, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps came from outside.

"Your Highness, you, you can’t go in." There were also anxious shouts from a maid at the back.

Then, a rather imperious voice rose, "Hmph..., this is the Flame Empire, there isn’t a place I can’t enter."

Zhi Ning immediately frowned.

"Bang..." The room door was kicked open, and a man in golden brocade walked in.

This man had a face like a finely crafted jade and was so handsome that he could even compete with Suo Lun; the only difference was that his eyebrows were always raised and his chin always lifted, always carrying an air of arrogance.

Moreover, when he walked, he liked to stride broadly, as if he were a crab, almost preferring to walk sideways.

He was the fourth son of the Emperor of the Flame Empire, Prince Ji Min.

"Ji Min, haven’t your parents taught you any manners?" Zhi Ning said coldly, "Such poor upbringing."

"What if I have poor manners?" Ji Min said, "Who in the world can manage me? Who dares to? You’re not yet married into the family; do you think you can manage me already?"

This Prince Ji Min was the number one wastrel in the Flame Empire.

The darling of the Dowager Empress, the blood brother of the Crown Prince, and the youngest son of the Queen.

Since the heir to the throne was already determined, and he had no intention of participating in government affairs, he only wanted to be a wantonly imperious idle prince.

So, essentially, as he said, no one in the world dared to manage him, everyone could only coax and flatter him.

In truth, apart from Zhi Yan, he feared neither heaven nor earth.

The reason he feared Zhi Yan was that she was highly skilled in martial arts, and she was also a woman.

"You just returned to Zhi Du a few years ago, and now you’re back?" Ji Min said, "Did you hear some rumors about me, so you hurried back to manage me? Let me tell you, I’ve had many romantic affairs outside; don’t bother trying to manage me, you can’t."

Having said this, he flicked his robe and sat down on a chair, then lifted his chin to look at Zhi Ning.

"Ah, you’re still so thin, your face so white, can’t you put on a bit more flesh? I like women with big breasts and big butts; I feel disgusted looking at women like you," Ji Min said, looking at Zhi Ning with disdain.

Knowing his character, Zhi Ning didn’t bother paying attention to him. Once the food was served, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating heartily.

Although she didn’t want to eat at all, as eating made her want to vomit, she still forced herself to eat, gobbling down the food.

Now, only she and her brother were left at home; every life was precious, so she had to make sure the child in her belly grew up strong.

Seeing Commandery Princess Zhi Ning’s manner of eating, Prince Ji Min was a bit stunned and said, "Hey, hey, I told you to put on a bit more flesh, but there’s no rush at this moment. Your way of eating will make me lose all desire, there’s not a bit of dignity or grace. Oh my god, you even have oil dripping from your mouth, how will I ever be able to kiss you after this."

Commandery Princess Zhi Ning couldn’t be bothered with him; Ji Min was just a chatterbox, extremely annoying.

"Hey, what do you mean by this?" Prince Ji Min said imperiously, "I’ve come a long way to see you, and you’re ignoring me? Please, your brother begged me to marry you, I’m not really interested in you. You’re merely a Commandery Princess, and moreover from a Nouveau-Riche Kingdom; I am a prince of the Flame Empire, in truth, we’re not a suitable match."

Zhi Ning said, "Our marriage engagement is only verbal at this point and has not been formally concluded."

Prince Ji Min said, "That’s the thing, it’ll depend on your performance. If I’m not satisfied, you can forget about this marriage."

At that moment, Zhi Ning was eating so hastily that she couldn’t hold it in any longer and felt the urge to vomit again.

Seeing this, Prince Ji Min said with disdain, "Could you be any more disgusting? I’m about to throw up here. What are you doing? Are you pregnant or something?"

Commandery Princess Zhi Ning held back her urge to vomit and said, "Yes, I am pregnant, with another man’s child."

At these words, Prince Ji Min was as if struck by lightning.

...

On the sea, on the flagship of the Queen’s Island Fleet.

"Master, as a swordsman, your cultivation has reached the mid-tier of nine stars, only half a step away from the high tier," Yao Xing said.

At this, Suo Lun was utterly astonished and said, "How is this possible? I was only at three stars mid-tier before, how come I’ve broken through six stars all of a sudden?"

Yao Xing said, "Swordsmanship requires extremely high spiritual power, agility second, and strength third. The energy from the Dragon’s Holy Tear we’ve assimilated is extremely potent. I used a minor part to enhance strength, but the majority went into boosting spiritual power and agility. Your spiritual aptitude has become extremely high, so the spiritual power advanced swiftly, and consequently, the dragon power used to enhance agility was the majority, resulting in such a significant improvement."

Then, Yao Xing said, "Of course, this only means that your attributes have reached the standard of a mid-tier nine stars swordsman. However, you rarely practice the sword, and have hardly learned any swordsmanship, so it doesn’t mean your swordsmanship cultivation has reached that level."

Suo Lun naturally understood this. When he got back, if he had any spare time, he would certainly practice swordsmanship with Nai’er.

He had learned the Calamity Nine Swords, but that set of techniques was designed for comprehending the Sword Dao and improving meridians, and wasn’t suitable for combat.

He at least wanted to learn a set of swordsmanship suitable for battle with Nai’er.
