Chapter 60: Daddy's Here For Robbery

"What? He's dead?" The silk robed woman's cute eyes widened momentarily and was filled with astonishment.

The Flaming Sun Princess nodded her head with unnatural calmness, "I, too, just heard about the situation not too long ago."

The silk-clothed woman heard the princess's words. Her pupils constricted as she became silent for a little while before letting out a sigh.

"Sigh... I remember back then when he first saw me, he had that cute and blushy face on. Actually, at that time, I knew that he would eventually become the Flame Emperor's flesh vessel. It's a pity that I was very young at that time and couldn't stop him. Afterwards, he was locked up in the underground palace to train and we had forgotten about him as time went by. Who knew that he was already dead."

(T/N: Flesh Vessel was a sort of slave in which a person was supposed to cultivate and train hard in order to pass all his powers to someone else)

"I haven't forgotten about it!" The Flaming Sun Princess softly replied while briefly shutting her eyes.

"What?" The silk-clothed woman widened her eyes and spoke in shock, "Then... then why didn't you stop it from happening?"

"My father wanted to improve himself and Xu Que was the perfect candidate at that time. He had Fire Heaven roots and did not have any next-of-kin. As a result, my father had Concubine Huan to impersonate as me and accompany Xu Que for six years. When he finally reached the Golden Core Stage, my father had his Fire Heaven roots absorbed from him. To an orphan who's on the verge of starving to death on the streets, it's definitely a compensation." The Flaming Sun Princess said dully.

"So, it was Concubine Huan who impersonated as you all these years and accompanied Xu Que. With her Charm and Transformation magic, it wouldn't be hard at all to fool a Golden Core Stage cultivator. It's no wonder that I've seen her so little in the palace these few years. However, I feel rather sympathetic for that Xu Que." The silk-clothed woman replied disturbingly.

The Flaming Sun Princess remained unmoved and without any sign of emotions, said apathetically, "Everybody has their own fate. There are way too many pitiful people in this world besides him. Moreover, his death wasn't anything important. After Concubine Huan absorbed the Fire Heaven roots from within his body and transferred it to my father, he quickly reached 7th stage of his Cultivation Level. If it becomes a success, it will be good news for the Fire Country."

"Sigh..." The silk-clothed woman closed her eyes and sighed briefly. She did not reply.

After several breaths, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and shockingly said, "Wait, did you say that this Xu Que and that Xu Que are different people? Or should I go ask around and see if there is any drawings of that Xu Que and maybe we can see what that person looks like!"

The Flaming Sun Princess nodded her head, "There are many people with the same names. No need to make such a big fuss. Besides, the Xu Que who was in the Palace has already died. All the cultivation he did when he was alive was absorbed till he withered. Even if he was left barely alive, he will never be able to cultivate again without his roots."

"What you've said is correct. After all, in this world, there are no medicines which can allow someone to regrow new roots." The silk-clothed woman nodded her head in sudden realization.

...

At the same time, Xu Que already left the small teahouse and continued on the path to the imperial city.

What he did not know was that the person he had a wild 7 nights with was just a fake princess and a concubine of the Emperor on top of that.

Along the way, he hummed a melodic tune. At the same time he activated the Lightning Haste, and advanced, passing through various mountain ridges quickly.
