Chapter 2860 - 2861: Something Happened

Chapter 2860: Chapter 2861: Something Happened

Ye Luo chuckled involuntarily, "So, what do you think?"

"Certainly impossible!" she replied with unwavering conviction.

Ye Luo shook his head and laughed lightly, "Your performance today was quite outstanding, leaving a deep impression on the King of Huainan. So why worry?"

However, Princess Qinse furrowed her brow, "My performance today indeed achieved my goal, but is it really what I want? Do I truly wish to vie for the throne? It’s all as if I’m dreaming, even having nightmares these few days, dreaming that I’m being burned alive! After all, a woman vying for the throne is an outrageously rebellious act!"

Ye Luo understood her thoughts, "Then let me ask you, why do you want to seize the throne?"

Qinse thought for a moment, then lifted her head, "I want the laws my teacher spoke of to take root on this land. I want this region to become a nation. I wish for common people to live stable lives!"

As she spoke, her eyes grew brighter.

Ye Luo sighed inwardly, realizing that achieving this would be even more challenging. After all, the third force is a mix of various races, with powerful figures everywhere, each forming their own factions.

Not to mention anyone else, even the King of Huainan can’t accomplish this!

Why? Essentially, it’s just a matter of interests.

"If you want to realize your dreams, it’s even more difficult than you think! First, you need unparalleled cultivation, profound cunning, and extraordinary luck! You can’t do without any of these factors! Your journey will be extremely tough!" Continued Ye Luo, "Moreover, this is a path of no return. There’s a high chance that all your efforts will be in vain! Whether you choose to peacefully remain a princess or strive for the throne depends on your own choice!"

As soon as Ye Luo finished speaking, Qinse picked up a jug of wine, "Teacher, could you join me for a drink?"

Ye Luo sighed; he understood that this girl must be feeling extremely uncomfortable inside. Letting her get drunk might relieve her somewhat! Therefore, he slowly raised his wine cup.

The two went back and forth until the jug of wine was emptied.

Unexpectedly, Qinse’s drinking capacity surpassed Nameless’s by far; even after so much wine, Qinse hadn’t fallen! Indeed, she was much more sober than Ye Luo.

Ye Luo had previously drunk quite a bit, and now another jug with Princess Qinse left him somewhat unclear-headed.

However, he thought he should let Qinse get drunk! So he opened another jug!

Gradually, the scene before him blurred; the power of the wine was undeniably immense!

Ye Luo’s strength was exceptional, yet upon getting drunk, he became as unconscious as an ordinary person.

If someone were to attack him now, even a mere cultivator could easily kill him.

No one knew how much time had passed before Ye Luo finally lay down on the wine jug and slowly fell asleep.

...

No one knew how much time had passed before Ye Luo slowly opened his eyes, his head still aching. He knew it was the hangover, and absolutely should not use Spiritual Power to resolve it; otherwise, it would be as if magnifying the sensation infinitely!

However, something wasn’t right!

She looked around and realized it was the second floor of the main hall! Indeed, this was Princess Qinse’s quarters!

Yet there was no trace of Princess Qinse, which somewhat relieved him. Otherwise, it would have been awkward.

Looking down, he was shocked to find himself wearing nothing!

Did something happen last night?

He immediately remembered drinking with Qinse, originally intending for her to get drunk to ease her worries; yet in the end, he was the one who got knocked out.

So, did Qinse undress him? But after the clothes were removed, what happened?

Damn it! He slapped his forehead, wondering where Nameless got such potent liquor, given how strong the effects were.

Moreover, he noticed the blanket beneath him had a piece cut off!

Feeling anxious, he picked up the blanket, sniffed it, and his mind buzzed.

Something definitely happened!

He bitterly smiled; now how would he face Princess Qinse, explain to the King of Huainan—they were his students!

Yet he had absolutely no ability to act at that time; could it be that Qinse, the little girl, indulged herself?

Thinking of this, his headache worsened.

But for now, he needed to get dressed; fortunately, his clothes were freshly washed and folded by his side.

Undoubtedly, this must have been Qinse’s doing.

Now that Qiong Yao hadn’t yet emerged from seclusion, and Ling’er was healing in her prime form, besides her, who else could have done this?

After getting dressed, he hurriedly went downstairs, coincidentally seeing Nameless getting up from the ground, clutching his head.

"Oh dear, who would’ve thought the wine my sister gave me had such a strong kick!" Nameless muttered.

Ye Luo initially intended to leave the hall, but upon hearing this, he returned.

"Are you saying this wine was given to you by Qinse?"

"Indeed!" Nameless stared puzzled at Ye Luo, "She told me at the time she found it in Father King’s warehouse; it’s absolutely premium, though indeed a bit too strong!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo didn’t need to leave.

Clearly, all of this was deliberately planned by Qinse. Perhaps it was a surprise for Ye Luo, but for Qinse, it was entirely within her control.

This left Ye Luo quite frustrated, not expecting to be tricked by a young girl.

But why did she do it?

How would they get along after meeting again?

Besides, where was Qinse now?

Ye Luo didn’t wish to dwell on it further; he sighed and closed his eyes, starting to align the Spiritual Energy within.

"Have you really thought it through?"

Inside the King of Huainan’s hall, the King of Huainan was solemnly gazing at the woman before him; the woman was sitting upright, with a calm expression, faintly exuding a kingly aura—it was Qinse!

Today, Qinse was vastly different from before.

Her hair was elegantly styled, with a trace of nobility in her demeanor, and a faint blush adorned her face; it seemed she had grown considerably overnight.

"Yes, Father King, I’ve made up my mind!" Qinse nodded slowly, her expression unchanged.

Yet the King of Huainan remained silent, "Before discussing this matter, you gave your first night to that lad; don’t you realize that if he departs or falls later, staying with him offers no future prospects?"
