The Eccentric Princess Chengning

Chapter 642 The Eccentric Princess Chengning

An eight-star beast is equivalent to a Divine Aperture Martial Artist at the Qi and Blood stage. Its powerful bloodline is rare in the Canglan Star Region.

To be precise, it's possible that the Azure Sky Starfield doesn't have it.

"Thank you, Your Highness! I love it so much!"

After realizing what had happened, Qin Zhenkui quickly bowed and thanked him.

"Auntie, what kind of star beast did you give me?"

"It's the eight-star beast, the Holy Flame Griffin, that you saw in the Sword Over Starfield before. It's currently in the Beast Taming Grounds outside the mansion, being looked after by a beast tamer."

"A Holy Flame Griffin? Excellent!"

Joy welled up on Qin Zhenkui's face once again.

Qin Yingyue turned her head and asked Crown Prince Qin Yingtian of the Holy Martial Emperor, "Brother, today is Xiao Kui'er's coming-of-age ceremony. As her father, what do you want to give her?"

Don't give me a gift that's worse than mine!

Qin Yingtian said calmly, "I have already prepared for her coming-of-age ceremony. I have secured an opportunity for her to go to the Sword God Academy Secret Realm in the Sword Ascension Star Domain. She can go once her cultivation level reaches that point."

At this point, under the guidance of the emcee, the coming-of-age ceremony reached the part where guests were thanked.

Dong Changnan, who had just arrived, sighed: "We're late, Brother Chen. The main events before the coming-of-age ceremony have already passed."

o

Chen Lie hadn't originally planned to attend any coming-of-age ceremony, so going there was just fine.

Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies and the master of ceremonies, Qin Zhenkui thanked each of the important guests present.

After thanking the guests, Qin Zhenkui once again approached Crown Prince Qin Yingtian and Princess Qin Yingyue.

"Father, the ceremony is complete. I'd like to go see the eight-star beast that my aunt gave me!"

Upon learning that an eighth-tier star beast was waiting for her at the Beast Taming Arena, Qin Zhenkui told her father and immediately left without hesitation.

Chen Lie, who was at the edge of the square, saw Qin Zhenkui turn and leave, and immediately said, "Brother Dong, could you take me to see this Princess Chengning alone?"

"Brother Chen, I can certainly take you to see Princess Chengning, but you must understand that you haven't even completed the task assigned by the princess yet, and you're already asking her to do something? There's a 99% chance you won't succeed."

"Who said I didn't complete the task?"

The diagram of the true qi circulation route that Chen Lie drew on the parchment, although only half of it was hidden, was still the central...

The advanced martial arts secrets of the Galactic Empire will inevitably be adopted as long as the person examining them is not blind.

The work is finished, so it's not unreasonable to ask for an advance on wages, right?

"Alright then, I have quite a connection with the son of the Crown Prince's Chamberlain, I can introduce you to the Princess. Please come with me!"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Thank you."

He then followed Dong Changnan and left the square.

After leaving the square, Dong Changnan surprisingly contacted someone using a method of sending messages by carrier pigeon.

Soon, the messenger pigeon received a reply.

After reading the reply, Dong Changnan said, "Brother Chen, I just asked where my friend is, and he gave me a place. I'll take you there to see him."

Chen Lie nodded and followed Dong Changnan for more than ten minutes until they arrived at an office space inside the Crown Prince's residence, marked with the sign "Zhan Shi Guan" (Hall of Imperial Sacrifices).

"Brother Chen, we've arrived. Let's go in!"

Under Dong Changnan's guidance, Chen Lie entered the Imperial Household Department.

As soon as Chen Lie entered the Imperial Academy, he saw a young man dressed in ancient costume.

To Chen Lie's surprise, besides the young man in ancient costume, there were three other people in the Hall of Imperial Sacrifices. These three were Qi Donglin, Tang Xiaowen, and Zhao Guangchen from the other three-star domains.

"Changnan, didn't you go to attend the Princess's martial arts exchange meeting? What brings you here by carrier pigeon?" the young man asked.

Dong Changnan said, "It's not that I need your help, it's that a new friend of mine wants to ask for your assistance!"

"Oh?"

The young man looked at Chen Lie.

"Let me introduce you first, Brother Chen. This is the friend I mentioned to you, named Lu Wang."

After listening to Dong Changnan's introduction, Chen Lie cupped his hands in greeting to the young man named Lu Wang in front of him.

"Brother Lu!"

Dong Changnan added, "Brother Lu, this is Brother Chen Lie from the Eastern Star Region. He is here to participate in the battle for control of the interstellar alliance of the four peripheral star regions."

Lu Wang looked at Chen Lie and asked, "You're not also going to have me introduce you to the princess, are you?"

Dong Changnan asked in surprise, "How did you know? Brother Lu, could you perhaps have some kind of precognitive ability?"

"It's not that I have precognition, but you've brought people from the Eastern Star Region. Before you, I already had three friends here..."

After exchanging greetings, it was revealed that Qi Donglin from the Southern Star Region, Zhao Guangchen from the Northern Star Region, and Tang Xiaowen from the Western Star Region all wished to request an audience with the Princess!

"Isn't that a perfect coincidence? You can accomplish four things in one trip!" Dong Changnan said.

"That's true, but the princess probably won't have time to meet with outsiders today."

"First, today is the princess's coming-of-age ceremony; second, the princess has a guest from the Moyun Star Region coming to visit; and third, the princess's aunt, Princess Tianyue, has given her an eight-star beast as a gift for her coming-of-age ceremony. I'm also hesitating whether or not to disturb the princess," Lu Wang said.

"It's no small matter that people from all four star regions are visiting the princess at the same time. Let Brother Chen and these three friends write a visiting card together, and you can hand it to the princess. Whether she sees you or not is up to Her Highness to decide," Dong Changnan said.

"That's fine too!"

Lu Wang hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

He immediately prepared the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, placing the Four Treasures of the Study on the table, and said to Chen Lie, Qi Donglin, and the others, "Gentlemen, please!"

Each person should write a visiting card, but not in your own name; use the name of your star system or planet.

That way, it will be easier for me to present it to you.

Chen Lie, Qi Donglin, Tang Xiaowen, and Zhao Guangchen all came to the table, picked up their pens, and began to write.

Chen Lie wrote with lightning speed, finishing the message on the visiting card in the blink of an eye.

[Respectfully written by Princess Qin Zhenkui of Chengning]

I have long admired your reputation, but have yet to have the opportunity to meet you.

I have come here today to pay my respects and humbly request an audience with Your Excellency.

I apologize for disturbing you and hope you will forgive me.

Chen Lie, a candidate for the position of Executive Officer of Blue Star and a permanent member of the Eastern Star Region, pays his respects.

As he wrote, Chen Lie imbued the ink with the sharpness of the Golden God True Qi, making these few dozen characters exceptionally striking.

After finishing writing, Chen Lie presented the visiting card to Lu Wang.

At this moment, Tang Xiaowen, Qi Donglin, and others also presented their visiting cards to Lu Wang.

After glancing at the four visiting cards, Lu Wang nodded slightly and said, "I just asked the guards, and it turns out that Princess Tianyue went to the Beast Taming Arena to see the eight-star beast that Princess Tianyue gave her. Please follow me!"

The four people from the Four Star Regions bowed and thanked him, then followed Lu Wang out of the Imperial Household Department.

The group of several people left the Crown Prince's residence and arrived at a large meteorite iron wall behind the residence.

From afar, Chen Lie could see the three words "Beast Taming Arena" hanging high above.

This meteorite iron wall is over a hundred meters high, and its top is covered with a dense black net. From a distance, Chen Lie observed that this beast-taming arena covers an area of ​​at least a thousand hectares.

Upon arriving at the Beast Taming Arena, Lu Wang immediately stopped and addressed the crowd, saying, "Everyone, this is Her Highness the Princess's Beast Taming Arena. Her guards are stationed in front of us."

"Please wait here a moment. I will have a guard present the visiting card to the princess. If the princess wishes to receive you, you may enter immediately."

Chen Lie and the other three responded one after another.

Upon seeing this, Lu Wang immediately handed the four visiting cards to the guard and explained them to him. After receiving the visiting cards, the guard turned around and entered the beast-taming arena.

Inside the Beast Taming Arena, Princess Qin Zhenkui of Chengning County and Yun Youyou of the Chongxing Demon Heaven Gate of the Moyun Star Region were by a lake.

In the center of the lake, there is a giant beast about twenty meters tall, surrounded by raging flames.

The giant beast has the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, with two wings and flames shooting into the sky from its head. Its wingspan is a hundred meters long.

Upon closer inspection, eight dazzling star-shaped vortexes can be seen within the giant beast's pupils, marking it as an eight-star beast.

"Sister Yun, look, this is the gift my royal aunt gave me for my coming-of-age ceremony, an eight-star beast, the Holy Flame Griffin."

Qin Zhenkui pointed to the huge Holy Flame Griffin in front of her and said.

Yun Youyou carefully examined the eighth-tier star beast in the center of the lake and exclaimed in amazement, "It really is an eighth-tier star beast. It's only a third-tier star beast, yet it has such a huge size."

"The eight-star beast possesses immense bloodline power, equivalent to a Qi and Blood martial artist at the Upper Divine Aperture stage. If it breaks through to the fourth-tier Qi Gathering Realm, I'm afraid even I wouldn't be its match."

"Of course, only star beasts with powerful bloodlines are worthy of being my pets. If they are ferocious beasts below the eighth star level, they will be of no benefit to me."

Yun Youyou said, "An eighth-tier star beast, if successfully tamed, would indeed be a formidable fighting force. Your aunt is so good to you!"

Qin Zhenkui smiled, beckoned the beast tamer beside her, and asked, "Tell me, how do I tame this eight-star beast?"

The beast tamer said, "Your Highness, the Holy Flame Griffin is a star beast with a powerful bloodline and is extremely ferocious. The first step to taming it is to wear down its wildness."

The Holy Flame Griffin has 99 holy flames running from its head to its tail. Extinguishing all 99 flames allows you to establish a mental connection with the Griffin and gradually tame it.

"Are there any preconditions? Please explain in detail!"

"Yes, of the 99 holy flames on the Holy Flame Griffin, only 3 can be extinguished each day, and only Her Highness the Princess can do it herself."

"But before that, we must temper the Sacred Flame Griffin's savage nature. The Sacred Flame Griffin is a third-tier star beast, and it would be best to have martial artists below the fifth tier fight it day and night for five days and five nights." The beast tamer replied.

"Okay, I understand. You may leave now!"

Qin Zhenkui nodded and waved her hand, signaling the animal trainer to leave.

At this moment, a guard came to Qin Zhenkui's side.

"Greetings, Princess!"

"Hmm? What's up?"

Qin Zhenkui frowned. The guards were outside and would not normally come in to disturb her unless something happened.

"Princess, people from the Four Star Regions outside wish to receive you, and have even sent visiting cards!"

The guard presented the visiting card to Qin Zhenkui.

Qin Zhenkui picked up the visiting card, glanced at it, and then threw it on the ground.

"I don't know any of these people in the Four Edge Starfield, so why do they want to see me?"

"Don't see them! Get them all out of here!"

"yes!"

The guard obeyed the order and prepared to leave immediately.

Yun Youyou suddenly said, "Zhenkui, the four star regions are all paying their respects. There might be some important matter at hand. If you don't see them, you might miss something important."

"Sister Yun, you don't know, the four edge star regions of the Canglan Star Region are different from the edge star regions of the Moyun Star Region. They are all barren places for martial arts. If something really happens, they won't be able to find me here," Qin Zhenkui said.

"I think you should ask, it won't take up much time anyway," Yun Youyou said.

"Since you put it that way, Sister Yun, then alright!"

Qin Zhenkui instructed the guards, "Let all these people in!"

"yes!"

A short while later, Chen Lie, Tang Xiaowen, Qi Donglin, and Zhao Guangchen arrived at the lakeside.

Upon seeing the enormous Holy Flame Griffin in the center of the lake, all three except Chen Lie were startled.

Upon arriving before Princess Qin Zhenkui of Chengning, the four of them simultaneously bowed.

"Greetings, Princess Chengning!"

Qin Zhenling lifted the hem of her clothes and sat down on a stone bench by the lake.

She glanced at Chen Lie and the other three, and asked calmly, "You people from a few outlying planets have no dealings with me. Why are you all requesting an audience with me?"

Zhao Guangchen stepped forward and said, "Princess, I am Zhao Guangchen from Hetai Star in the Northern Star Region. Zhang Ning, who is studying at Star University at the Marquis of Yang's Mansion on Beimang Star, is my close friend."

"Don't mention names to me, I don't know them, get to the point!"

Qin Zhenkui interrupted Zhao Guangchen impatiently.

Zhao Guangchen's face stiffened for a moment, then he continued, "I have come here because the battle for control of the Four Star Regions Interstellar Alliance is about to begin. It is said that the battlefield for this battle is filled with extreme celestial phenomena."

Therefore, I have come to ask the Princess to do me a favor and allow me to enter Death Ridge ahead of time for a visit.

"Oh?"

Qin Zhenkui glanced at Chen Lie, Qi Donglin, and Tang Xiaowen with a strange expression, and said, "You are all from the Four Star Regions. Could it be that you've all come to ask me for a favor, wanting to go to Death Ridge to investigate?"

"Yes!" Chen Lie readily admitted.

Qi Donglin and Tang Xiaowen nodded in agreement.

Qin Zhenkui's face instantly turned cold: "I didn't expect that you people from a few barren planets would come here in a group to ask me for a place to relieve yourself. But what makes you think I would give you that convenience?"

Do you think this place is a charity where you can give whatever you want?

"Guards, break the arms and legs of these arrogant and ignorant fools and throw them out onto the streets of the Holy Capital!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, several guards immediately stepped forward to capture the men.

Zhao Guangchen, Tang Xiaowen, and the others' expressions changed. They hadn't expected that Princess Chengning of the Holy Martial Dynasty would have such an eccentric personality. This wasn't just being willful; it was ruthless. She would break people's hands and feet at the slightest disagreement.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Chen Lie said, "Princess, I am not here to ask for help without any explanation. I am here to attend the martial arts exchange meeting you convened."

I have already handed over the parchment containing the diagram of the true qi circulation route.

You yourself said that if your completed drawing of the true qi circulation route is adopted, you will be rewarded. Are you going to go back on your word and get something for nothing?

Qin Zhenkui sneered: "Who do you think you are? You are just a person from a marginal star region planet. In the eyes of the Ten Star Alliance planets, you are nothing more than an uncivilized barbarian."

Why should I accept your drawings?

"Whether it will be adopted or not, you'll know once you see it!"
