CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 279 JING HONG AND ILLUSION BUTTERFLY

Wow!

Qin Zi turned his head to look.

He saw a noble girl in a snow-white palace dress gracefully walking towards him, surrounded by a crowd like stars around the moon.

"Princess Huan Die?"

Qin Zi asked coldly.

The saying goes to look at the owner’s face when hitting a dog; he had just hit someone’s cat, so naturally, they stood on opposing sides, hence he wasn’t in a good mood.

However, the girl paused for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed, "I think you might have mistaken me."

"Gah?!"

Qin Zi’s air of aloofness and seriousness instantly evaporated, his face stiffened, revealing the word "awkward" in big letters.

"Then may I ask who you are..."

Qin Zi coughed and then asked a bit embarrassed.

"My name is Jing Hong."

The girl said with a smile.

"Princess Jinghong!"

Qin Zi was slightly surprised.

He had previously inquired about the important figures in the Holy Institute, and this Princess Jinghong was the sole daughter of King Honghu.

What surprised him was.

These Beast Race rulers who have lived for tens of thousands of years didn’t make a move for tens of thousands of years, yet in the past few decades they suddenly started breeding, which is truly puzzling... could it be that they forcefully had children just to accommodate him?

Of course, this is a narcissistic view.

The real reliable reason might be to perfect the bloodline, after all, when the strength of the parents increases, the bloodline evolves, and the talents of the born children will also vastly improve.

From a conspiracy theory perspective, it could also be to compete for some "Golden Era," some kind of era fortune.

At this moment, Princess Jinghong smiled and said, "Young Master Qin, I wonder if you could do me a favor?"

"No."

Qin Zi refused without a thought—though you are a beauty, this has nothing to do with me.

Doing work for free and even bringing his own provisions, he won’t do unless it’s free work, but brings provisions.

"Oh? I haven’t said what it is yet, isn’t it a bit too early for Young Master Qin to refuse?"

Princess Jinghong laughed lightly while covering her mouth.

"My abilities are limited, I always prefer to keep a low profile and don’t like doing risky things, I hope the princess understands."

Qin Zi said in a tactful manner.

"When did I say I want you to take risks?"

Princess Jinghong complained endearingly and gave him a glance, then took out a snow-white silk handkerchief and handed it to Qin Zi, "I heard you are close with Sister Bailu and wanted to ask you to deliver something."

"Ah? Just that?"

Qin Zi opened his mouth, feeling inexplicably a tad disappointed.

"What else did you expect?"

Princess Jinghong gave him another glance and pushed the handkerchief towards his hand.

Qin Zi half-heartedly accepted the handkerchief.

Still muttering, "Then why don’t you just send someone directly? You have quite a few followers, right?"

"Didn’t Princess Huan Die send her followers to invite you, what happened to that person now?"

Princess Jinghong said with a smile.

Qin Zi glanced at the person lying weak on the ground beneath his feet, his face twitched slightly.

He had to admit there was some logic to her words.

"Alright then! I’ll take a loss today and help you out."

Qin Zi took a deep breath and humbly said, "You don’t need to be too polite, no need to gift any elixirs or Divine Medicine, no celestial treasures or Supreme Divine Techniques, after all, I’m not that kind of person."

"Hmm, I understand."

Princess Jinghong laughed lightly while covering her mouth.

This...

Qin Xiaozhu was stunned, wasn’t this obvious hint picked up? Is this girl perhaps dense?

But in such matters, he couldn’t bluntly say it if the other party didn’t understand, since he had a bit of pride to maintain.

He could only accept it.

"Ah, what a coincidence, Sister Jinghong is here too?"

At this moment, a seductive voice sounded, along with a fragrant breeze that seemed to melt one’s bones.

Qin Zi turned his head to look.

He saw an absolutely gorgeous girl enveloped in a nine-colored halo, exuding seductive charm, slowly approaching with a group of people.

"Princess Huan Die!"

Upon seeing this girl, Qin Zi immediately guessed her identity, for she possessed an alluring beauty, a flamboyant beauty, a beauty that was not concealed, like a butterfly spreading its colorful wings.

"You must be Qin Zi?"

Princess Huan Die looked at Qin Zi.

"It’s me."

Qin Zi said calmly.

Princess Huan Die glanced indifferently at the Lightning Cat Xuan Ming on the ground, saying, "I sent someone to invite you, yet you stepped on my man, isn’t that somewhat inappropriate?"

"That’s because the way you invited people was wrong."

Qin Zi said calmly:

"I don’t know how you instructed him, but at least his attitude in front of me was not how one should behave when inviting someone."

"Perhaps he was indeed somewhat arrogant and rude, but regardless, you shouldn’t publicly act, putting my man to shame!"

Princess Huan Die’s voice became assertive.

"Well, ’regardless’ indeed!"

Qin Zi sneered, sarcastically looking at her:

"You think the whole world revolves around you? Others should swallow indignation, others’ dignity means nothing, only your face counts as face?! Princess, such a domineering official tone you have!!"

The voice was sonorous, resounding!

Princess Huan Die initially was startled, then a hint of embarrassment flashed on her face, she took a deep breath and said in a low tone, "Dare you defy me?"

"Defy?"

Qin Zi playfully said:

"Who do you think you are? Just a self-important waste living off the shelter of your parents, dare to boss around in front of me?!"

As soon as he said it, he paused—how come these words felt familiar, like he heard them recently.

"You’re impudent!!"

Princess Huan Die said with majestic anger, "So daring an ant, to insult me, today you won’t be spared!"

Bang!

She extended a snow-white finger and pointed at Qin Zi, instantly, the air in front of her exploded, nine-colored light converged, forming a beam piercing towards Qin Zi, unstoppable!

"Sun!"

Qin Zi let out a low growl, his body exploded with light, directly transforming into a blazing sun, the radiance burnt like flames, impregnable as a fortress.

"Boom!"

A loud bang as countless flames exploded, akin to the sky collapsing and the earth cracking, the impact swept towards every direction.

"Crack-crack-crack."

The ground under Qin Zi’s feet cracked open and blew up, his feet sunk into the ground.

However, he did not take a single step back.

"Humph!"

At this moment, Princess Huan Die coldly snorted, her eyes flashed with nine-colored light, instantly, Qin Zi seemed struck by lightning!

"Wow—"

In that moment, he felt the world flip, then his consciousness appeared in a transparent space.

Underfoot was like a lake surface, yet incomparably hard, and above, an enormous nine-colored eye hovered!

"Buzz-buzz-buzz!"

The nine-colored eye swiftly descended, like the sky falling, under the gaze of those eyes, his spirit was stinging, his consciousness almost shattered!

"Crap, got too cocky."

Qin Zi bitterly regretted in his heart, only now did he realize the opponent’s cultivation was far superior.

He was merely a four-tribulation Emperor, while the opponent was at least a six-tribulation.

Moreover, the opponent being the offspring of Beast Race rulers, not only possessed a strong bloodline, but also received the best training from an early age, being a supreme prodigy.

To put it simply... at this time, his combat power was only six thousand, while the opponent was at least over ten thousand!

"Do I have to use the strength of the Divine Body and Dao Bones? Once these are exposed, it might provoke greater troubles."

Qin Zi was extremely anxious in his heart.

At this moment, he felt a sense of restraint, unable to use the Primordial Spirit Power on Beast Race territory, many of his trump cards couldn’t be used, even his most adept skill, his master’s ghost possession, couldn’t be used casually.

"Quack—"

Suddenly, a clear cry sounded.

In the transparent space, a massive snow-white bird appeared, with one flap of its wings, the surrounding space shattered like paper, then it opened its mouth wide, the entire illusory space rapidly distorted, everything including the huge nine-colored eyes were swallowed into it.

Swallowing the Sky!

The next moment, Qin Zi’s consciousness returned to his body, while Princess Jinghong stood between him and Princess Huan Die, with her back facing him.

"Sister Huan Die, Young Master Qin just helped me with a favor, considering my reputation, how about letting this matter go?"
