The Steward Demonic Emperor Chapter 808: Outstanding Crown Prince

Chapter 808: Outstanding Crown Prince

Proofreader: Papatonks

Lowering his mighty right hand, Zhuo Fan looked like he had done a trifle thing. He patted the sixth prince’s shoulder. “Now hurry along and take me to the crown prince. I hope I’ll find what I seek there.” 

“Sure thing.”

After a brief pause of shock, the prince shouted in excitement as he went first. Jin Buhuan and his three men were sh.e.l.l shocked, just watching the two go with a dull look.

[Holy h.e.l.l! He really is as strong as sixth prince said! For once, he didn’t boast! He’s way stronger than he lets on, killing an Ethereal Stage expert in one punch even.]

[Thank G.o.d we didn’t fight him before. We’d have been killed as well!]

The four s.h.i.+vered when they recalled the scene at the restaurant.

Zhuo Fan and the prince were a way off when a rumble echoed out and the earth shook. A huge image of a python came out of the ground, hissing, “d.a.m.n punk, you ruined my body again! I’m going to eat you alive!”

“It’s Elder She’s soul!”

Jin Buhuan cried out, “In the Radiant Stage, the body might be strong but the soul isn’t up to an Ethereal Stage expert’s level. We’re done for!”

Jin Buhuan panicked and Elder She snickered, “Yes, brat, you ambushed me again and ruined my body, but there’s no way a Radiant Stage like you can deal with my soul…”

Whoos.h.!.+

He didn’t finish as a scarlet dragon claw came out of Zhuo Fan and gripped the squirming oversized garden snake. He choked on his words, with those sharp eyes reflecting fear like no other. 

[T-this is a soul?]

[How? He’s only in the Radiant Stage…]

“Humph, this is what you get for being stupid. You could’ve just floated away as your soul, but no, you had to be suicidal. Ha-ha-ha…”

Zhuo Fan’s eyes flashed and the scarlet dragon claw squeezed. The oversized snake wailed one last time as it was reduced to motes of spiritual energy scattered around.

The dragon claw went back to Zhuo Fan and resumed following sixth prince like nothing happened. Jin Buhuan’s face twitched with a dumb look.

As they watched Zhuo Fan going about his way, they all had the same shocked look and idea.

[Since when can a Radiant Stage cultivator form his soul?]

[A true freak…]

Meanwhile, a man and a woman were sitting in a pavilion next to a graceful lake.

The man wore a crown and was presentable, stacked in jewelry. Though his elegance was ruined by his sinister smile, especially when aimed at the woman next to him.

As for the woman, she was a beaut, bright eyes, sculpted eyebrows. Alas, the image was marred somewhat by her constant frown. 

Around them were singing and dancing girls.

But as the obscene music and suggestive dancing of the women in their sheer attire continued, Lian’er, the daughter of Quanrong’s high commander, bit her lip. The man smirked, one hand groping around a woman’s waist, opening his mouth and letting her tender finger feed him fruits. Sometimes, it wasn’t just the fingers… 

The man let out an obnoxious laughter now and then, filled with l.u.s.t. Lian’er was sickened by it, but helpless against it.

Lian’er gathered all her bravery to ask, “Crown Prince, would it be possible to release my brother?”

“Him?”

The man raised an eyebrow, “In front of the whole nation, he punched me! How could I just let him go after his blatant disregard for authority?”

Clenching her fists, Lian’er bit her lip harder, “Brother was wrong in striking Your Highness, but he was doing it to protect me. It was all my fault. I hope Your Highness would consider Tuoba family’s wholehearted service to Quanrong and release my brother at once. Lian’er will never forget Your Highness’s gesture.”

“Oh, never you say?”

Crown prince sized her fine figure up and broke out in a l.u.s.tful grin, “I don’t need that long, just attending to me for the rest of your life would do, he-he-he…”

“Your Highness!”

Lian’er cried out and jerked away at his obscene gaze on her. Then she trembled as she spoke, “Please mind yourself, Your Highness!”

Throwing the beauty in his arms away, the crown prince became bored, speaking coldly, “Touba Lian’er, don’t you play coy with me. Be grateful I have the time to waste on you. Touba has been a great family for a long time but ever since your defeat eight years ago, costing the empire heavily, you’re now criminals. Imperial father did not execute the old Tuoba Tieshan and only demoted him to captain of the guards. This is already grat.i.tude enough for all his service. All of this was possible because I pleaded your case. What do you think would’ve happened if I hadn’t? You’d be stripped of everything and G.o.dd.a.m.ned hanged!”

Lian’er bit her lip with a lowered head.

“And what do you do? Humph…”

Crown prince went on with his tirade, “d.a.m.n ingrates, I even asked for your hand yet that old Touba coot actually refused my kind gesture! I thought his mind woke up when he came to visit me in person afterward, but he only came to me for help. That Elder She had set his eyes on you ever since the war in Tianyu. His soul was redeemed by the sect so that geezer now wants to use my name to curb Elder She’s tendencies. As my future concubine, if a sect cast out touched you, even an Ethereal Stage expert, he’d still pay for it.”

Shaking all over, Lian’er lowered her head in silence.

The crown prince walked before her with a hard face, “I accepted becoming your s.h.i.+eld, but as long as you’re mine. That old coot won’t ever touch you then. But you just don’t know when to quit. Saying you want to be with me only to drag out the wedding. This has been going for eight years already! Are you taking me for a fool you use for your own amus.e.m.e.nt?”

“Forgive me, Your Highness!” Jerking, Lian’er faltered with teary eyes.

Looking at her pretty face with a dead look, the crown prince caressed her soft cheek. As she s.h.i.+vered, his eyes shone with desire, shouting, “I don’t need your apology, I want you!”

The crown prince threw himself at her and hugged her, wanting to take her by force.

“No, Your Highness!”

Lian’er struggled and wailed. In the end, she had to use her Yuan Qi to throw him off. He broke four stone pillars and wailed in pain.

The crown prince, in his ostentatious attire, a pill grown peak Profound Heaven expert, had just been thrown on the ground by a girl in the 8th layer. His neverending l.u.s.t had sapped his body of all the power that would make his cultivation high. 

He was the very opposite of Zhuo Fan. While Zhuo Fan’s strength overshadowed his cultivation, crown prince’s was nothing but an empty sh.e.l.l, worse than that of some rich boy.

Getting a grip on his aching body to stand up straight, crown prince was enraged, “Y-you!”

“Your Highness, i-it wasn’t on purpose…” Lian’er cowered, on the verge of tears.

Panting like an animal, the crown prince snarled, “You have the glory of becoming my concubine, far above those dissolute women. But over these eight years, despite not getting married, I not once got to touch you. When I tried to get closer, your brother punched me and today you do this! You’re my concubine, yet I’m forced to go to someone else?”

“Uhm, n-no, Your Highness. Please listen…”

“Enough!”

The crown prince shouted in anger, “Guards, bring that Tuoba Liufeng!”

“Yes, sir!”

At his order, a few men left to carry it. Soon they had a tied and familiar man brought over.

He looked roughed up, judging by the battered face, though his features were still clear enough to see he was Tuoba Liufeng, commander Tuoba Tieshan’s sole son.

Only now, the young commander was wretched, having lost his heroic air years back…
