The Human Emperor (200-400)

C310: Retaliation!

The Second Prince was too scheming, deceiving even his own blood-related sister. This made Wang Chong extremely unfond of him.

This might be a means for survival in the fight for the crown, but Wang Chong didn't think it justified the action of deceiving even one's close kin.

It is impossible that he is unaware that Princess Ni Huang and I are in the same training camp. Perhaps, it might even be his intention for Princess Ni Huang to come to Knwu Training Camp. After the exposure of the existence of the spirit vein, the Second Prince might have even predicted that Princess Ni Huang would resort to such extreme actions, so he chose not make a move at all.

Such thoughts swiftly ran across Wang Chong's mind. As he recalled the reputation of the Second Prince and the deeds he had committed in the previous life, Wang Chong suddenly felt uncomfortable.

When power came into the equation, even the most innocent of princes would turn into ferocious beasts.

This was also the reason why Wang Chong was reluctant to get involved in the matter.

"Princess Ni Huang, do you think that you will be of aid to the Second Prince just because you obtained the spirit vein?" Wang Chong harrumphed coldly. Instead of retreating, he chose to walk up toward Princess Ni Huang fearlessly.

Regardless of whether Princess Ni Huang was aware of the true character of the Second Prince, Wang Chong knew that he had to cross this crisis first.

"Brat, what kind of tricks are you playing?" As a worldly veteran, the old nanny immediately detected that Wang Chong was up to something upon seeing his actions.

But this time, she had guessed wrong.

"Hahaha!" Ignoring the old nanny, Wang Chong chuckled. "Princess Ni Huang, are you unaware that General Li Yichao has been defeated at the Black Mountain? And yet, you are still in the mood to fight with me over a spirit vein?"

Weng!

Princess Ni Huang was determined to remain calm before whatever Wang Chong was going say, but upon hearing General Li Yichao's name, Princess Ni Huang and the old nanny's faces immediately changed.

"You brat, how dare you try to fool me?" Princess Ni Huang's face turned cold. Sou! Her figure blurred, and before Wang Chong could discern what was going on, he felt something grab his arm tightly.

This time, Princess Ni Huang had gotten serious. Her movement was several times faster than before, leaving no time for Wang Chong to respond at all.

At this moment, Wang Chong finally understood why Princess Ni Huang was willing to deal with him so leisurely.

"Wang Chong, stop spouting nonsense. How could General Li lose? If you continue uttering gibberish, I won't stop at just taking away a spirit vein from you!" the infuriated Princess Ni Huang bellowed. A deep frosty frown was etched onto her forehead.

She had arrived at the Deflecting Blade Manor with a leisurely attitude, but Wang Chong's words had truly left her incensed.

"This is just a little lesson to you!"

Kachacha! Princess Ni Huang tightened her grip, and that clamp-like strength left Wang Chong feeling as if his wrist was torn into two.

Even so, Wang Chong didn't even utter the slightest shout of pain.

He had undergone far too much for him to be affected by such measly means by Princess Ni Huang.

"Princess Ni Huang, I am only stating a fact. Whether you wish to believe it or not is none of my business. Our Wang Clan has some connections in the military, so it is inevitable that our intelligence network in the field is slightly faster than others. If you think that I am uttering gibberish, you can always treat it as if I have said nothing at all," Wang Chong replied coldly.
