Chapter 920: Fair Competition
The Charm of Soul Pets
Soul Pet Palace
A woman laid silently in her bedchamber, her eyelashes quivering lightly, as if she just woke up after a long sleep.
His eyes were blinking brightly, charming and dazzling, curiously looking around.
âWhat happened to me?â The girl said lightly.
âPang Yue, youâre finally awake!â A few joyous sounds came from beside her.
Pang Yue slowly woke up. Her memory started when she escaped from Poison Desolation Nie Yunbing and then fainting in front of soul pet palace.
âLittle Yue, you were poisoned by Nie Yunbing. Elder Pang specially went into north forbidden region in the thousand insect desolation ground to find medicine for you.â Lady Xiao came beside Pang Yue and lightly fixed Pang Yueâs hair.
âFather...... where is my father?â Pang Yue looked around and didnât see elder pang.
Pang Yue naturally knew north forbidden region thousand insect desolation groundâs danger. Hearing that her father came to such a dangerous place to save her, her eyes turned slightly red.
âElder Pang is currently trying to deal with Nie Yunbing. Donât worry, Elder pang will quickly take revenge for you.â The man aside the bed said.
âEn, but Nie Yunbing is really hard to deal with, let my father be careful.â Pang Yue said worriedly.
âYour poison just finished healing, rest for a while longer.â Lady Xiao helped Pang Yue to lay down again and glanced at all the people who cared for Pang Yue, signaling for them to leave first.
The people who came to check on her, other than Lady Xiao, were mostly young men. These men were all polite yet eager, telling Pang Yue a bunch of blessings and worried words before leaving.
âHeng, we canât forgive Nie Yunbing easily!â The man that just spoke said in righteous anger.
âGreat young master Qin, you canât even fight a subordinate of Nie Yunbing, how do you expect to let Nie Yunbing go?â At this moment, another man ridiculed.
The man who was called Young Master Qin gave this fellow a glare.
Young master Qin knew well that Jiang Feng didnât want him to get close to Pang Yue, just in case Pang Yue was stolen by him.
However, now who wouldnât know that Elder Pang already wanted to marry Pang Yue to Qin Yutong. If not for Pang Yue getting ambushed, they may already be engaged.
Qin Yutong looked over the others as well. Undoubtedly, these people were all here for Pang Yue, and none of them were easy to deal with.
The one that just mocked him was Nightmare Palace Nightmare Emperor Jiangâs eldest son Jiang Feng, who was inferior to only Shen Mo.
Soul pet palace and Nightmare Palace never really interacted much. In the past, though there were joint marriages, they were pretty rare. Yet now, with the alliance between the three palaces, the palacesâ marriages became increasingly frequent. Nightmare Emperor Jiang had a great influence in three palaces, and his eldest son Jiang Feng was powerful as well, poised to surpass his father too. If Qing Yutong wanted to have Pang Yue, he had to defeat this powerful competitor.
Aside Jiang Feng was soul palaceâs fifth young master Xiao Yufeng. This fellow was already on the blacklist of soul alliance.
The reason was simple. Xiao Yufeng, who was an expert in demon type soul pets, killed two scar type experts by himself without leaving any evidence. In wanxiang city, the three palaces usually fought in the dark, but there werenât many lives lost usually. Even when lives were lost, they had to go by the evidence. The fight young master killed two scar level experts, yet left no evidence, which meant soul alliance couldnât take revenge. This was to the satisfaction of everyone.
Because of this, Xiao Yufeng solidified his position within three palace and was one of the top people of his generation.
With such identity, status, and power, both of them had the qualifications to steal women from Qing Yutong.
As for the other two, one was the previous Tianxia Realm King Xiaoâs son, Xiao Hai. Lady Xiao was the remarried King Xiaoâs wife, so Xiao Hai called her his step mom. Though King Xiao was nowhere to be found now, Lady Xiao herself was a powerful soul pet trainer, and thus Xiao Hai learned a lot from his stepmother, gaining a lot of fame within wanxiang realm and tianxia realm.
The other was called the youngest elder soul pet palace expert Wang Bosha.
Of course, because soul palace had this person come out of nowhere, Wang Boshaâs youngest elder position was slightly moved.
âIt was still hard to tell who will win. Qin Yutong, you may not be the one to laugh in the end.â Xiao Hai was rather straightforward, directly making clear his intentions.
âAiai, saying who will win is too much, it should be seeing âwhere the flower landsâ. Letâs not hurt our feelings and relationships.â Wang Bosha said with a gentle smile.
âAll of you, stop thinking. Donât you know that our greatest competitor has already appeared?â At this time, the fifth young master Xiao Yufeng smiled.
âLargest competitor?â Who do you mean?â Qing Yutongâs face fell and he asked sternly.
The others didnât look that great either. The five of them were enough competition already, another one would be deadly.
âYou truly are all clueless. The person who recently has all the fame is already in Wanxiang City.â Xiao Yufeng rubbed his chin.
âYou mean the young prince? No, anyone knows that person isnât interested in women.â Xia Hai said shockingly.
Xiao Yufeng immediately coughed to mask his embarrassment.
The other three also glared at Xiao Hai and one said, âXiao Hai, are you tired of living, saying such things? If that fell into the princeâs ears, you wonât have much chance here anymore.â
Xiao Hai hadnât been in wanxiang realm for long, so he didnât know much about that unique prince. He only heard that he didnât seem to have much interest for women.
âYoung price is just busy with getting stronger and doesnât talk to women much. Maybe his target are the two goddesses/concubines, so how could we possibly compare to him.â Fifth young master Xiao Yufeng said.
After the three palaces came in alliance, if they didnât add anything before âyoung princeâ, it wasnât talking about nightmare palace prince Shen Mo or soul pet palace prince Li Yun, but it was soul palace prince Chao Lengchuan!
Prince Chao Lengchuan wasnât involved in most affairs, but if he were, any âson of nightmare emperorâ, fifth young master, or âdescendant of a kingâ would have to stand aside.
âThen who do you mean? Can it be Shen Mo who likes to mess things up in the dark?â Qin Yutong asked questioningly.
â....âXiao Yufeng originally thought that his hint was enough for everyone to realize, yet they were still all clueless.
âCan it be that news of the person was only popular within soul palace and soul alliance, while no one else knows about him?â Xiao Yufeng guessed.
âIts Chu Fangchen.â Xiao Yufeng felt like it wasnât necessary to hype the man up more and just said the name.
âChu Fangchen?â The four all looked at each other, not being able to remember who Chu Fangchen was.
âWhatever, act as if I didnât mention it.â Xiao Yufeng looked at their expressions and realized that none of them knew him!
It seemed like soul palace was good at keeping secrets, not letting such a great event spread out. Xiao Yufeng thought everyone in the world knew Chu Fangchen.
âHey, is Chu Fangchen powerful?â Xiao Hia was the first to ask.
They were already the strongest of their generation and either knew each other or has heard of each other. However, Chu Fangchen was a name they truly never heard of, yet this person was already at Wanxiang City. Why did Xiao Yufeng make it sound as if his arrival would shock the entire city.
âI think Iâve heard of him, I think he did well in snow city, and is pretty powerful.â Jiang Feng felt like he had a faint impression but doesnât remember where he heard it from.
âWho cares who he is, if he wants my princess Pang Yue, I wonât forgive him!â Qin Yutong said.
The others all looked at his with disgust. When was princess Pang Yue his? Qin family people were truly all shameless!
âIf we compete, weâll get scolded by the old fellows and be told we are missing out on proper business. However, telling any of us to leave is impossible. How about this, I have a way that can allow all of us to compete fairly.â At this moment, the youngest elder Wang Bosha spoke.
âWhat fair competition, sheâs mine!â Qing Yutong said unsatisfied.
âSay it.â Xiao Yufeng said.
Pang Yue nearly died because of Nie Yunbing this time, so we have to take revenge. After all, its more than Pang Yue; it relates to the three palaceâs reputation. Though elder Pang was trying to find trouble with soul alliance, everyone knew that the older generation had restrictions and worries, so they couldnât fight in the city or else a war would break out. We young generations are different, where they wonât care as long as there isnât evidence.....â
âGet to the point.â Xiao Hai said impatiently.
âWhat I mean is, let us do the revenge competition. The target is Nie Yunbing. Whoever can kill more of his subordinates, whoever will have the highest score and has the best qualification to marry Pang Yue.â Wang Bosha siad.
âWhat if we kill the person himself?â Xiao Yufeng smiled and asked.
âThen we will help him throw flowers and drink for him during his wedding with Pang Yue.â Wang Bosha said.
âVery fair.â Jiang Feng nodded.
âI have no objection, the person is mine.â Qin Yutong said.
âAgreed.â
......
In the bedchamber, Lady Xiao specially brought over a bowl of hot soup and helped Pang Yue get up to drink it.
Pang Yue was slightly reserved. After all, Lady Xiao had such status yet she was helping her.
Lady Xiao saw Pang Yueâs reservedness and laughed lightly. Looking out the window, she said, âGet better, look at all those fellows worried, almost fighting. Looks like they all like you a lot.â
With Lady Xiaoâs words, Pang Yueâs sickly pale face blushed slightly and said, âTheyâre just worried as friends.....â
Lady Xiao didnât expose her and instead said, âSpeaking of which, the reason you could be awake is thanks to a young man.â
Pang Yue looked confused at Lady Xiao. Wasnât her father the one that went to north forbidden region and found the antidote for her poison?
Lady Xiao went ahead and explained the general situation in north forbidden region.
âYou mean, the reason I can awaken is because Chu Mu, who was now a devil, had a soul pet saved me?â
âEn, along with your father. If not for his soul pet, your father probably couldnât have escaped the claws of the blood barbarian hidden dragon.â Lady Xiao said.
âThen I truly have to thank the man called Chu Mu. However, heâs a devil now, can he ever wake up?â Pang Yue asked.
Lady Xiao shook her head, âItâs not likely.â
Pang Yue sighed lightly. She didnât think that her life and her fatherâs life was all thanks to this young man. Such a favor required her to give thanks in person. Sadly, such a good soul pet trainer passed early on. Truly even the heavens were jealous of him!
âLady Xiao.....â At this time, a servant girl came up and whispered in Lady xiaoâs ear.
âOh? The Chu Fangchen that did well in both snow city and soul city?â Lady Xiao looked slightly confused.
âYes, this person is already in soul palace. The elders are holding a banquet to welcome him and wanted to introduce him to the other high level people of three palaces.â Servant said.
Soul palace intentionally wanted to keep Chu Fangchen hidden, so his identity reveal was still kept within the higher levels.
âSince thatâs the case, letâs go to soul palace tonight.â Lady Xiao, of course, knew of Chu Fangchen. Such a stellar character naturally deserved her attention tonight.
Pang Yue laid in bed and asked curiously, âLady Xiao, who is Chu Fangchen and why is his welcome so important?â
âHe counts as the second prince, probably.â Lady Xiao smiled.
âAnother prince? Is his strength similar to the prince?â Pang Yue said surprised.
â Not yet, but he indeed is strong. Soul palace seems to be hiding his information intentionally, and soul alliance, who lost in his hands, doesnât seem to be spreading that either. However, you truly should talk with this young man.â Lady Xiao only heard of Chu Fangchen, but these alone were already enough for Lady Xiao to think highly of him!
âEn, then can I go tonight?â Pang Yue nodded. A person on the same level as a young prince deserved her relationship.
âYes, your poison is gone, so you can walk around at night. Itâll probably be good for your body too.â lady Xiao said.
Chu Fangchen? Pang Yue truly had never heard that name.
However, she couldnât help but be curious as to who Chu Fangchen was, able to command so much attention from the three palaces, even gathering all the high level personnel immediately to welcome him.
