Chapter 40 - Mo Chu To The Rescue

Having managed to bypass the guards, Bai Rouyun slowly began leaving the hall. Just as she said, she had not paid for the sword, but no one from the Thousand Treasure Pavilion made things difficult for her.

Seeing this, the princess bit her lower lip so hard that it began bleeding; her gaze, as she looked upon Bai Rouyun, was filled with jealousy and hatred.

She had never before felt as if she had lost so much face, and this woman was casually walking away while making her unhappy. She would never accept this.

The ones she had brought with her were also filled with jealousy. Someone such as Bai Yue'er, was only her friend in order to try and get closer to the Crown Prince so that she could become the crown prince’s concubine.

But now it seemed that the Crown Prince was moved by this woman! They would never allow her to succeed in seducing the Crown Prince!

Bai Rouyun thought she had left them far behind her, but suddenly, even more, people appeared in front of her. She could not help but frown.

Why had they brought so many guards with them when they went out to shop? That was such a waste of the Royal Guards!

"Miss, please wait," the Crown Prince was the one who had gestured for the guards to stop her, and they had done just that, while he rushed to her side again.

Frowning, Bai Rouyun completely ignored him and scanned the area with her strong soul perception. The damned Crown Prince had actually brought ten guards with him, all of which were at the Sky Acquired Realm! Some were at the initiative, others at mediate, but the majority were at the advanced layers.

Even if she could have defeated the two men at the top of the stairs, she was aware that with her current strength, she could not defeat ten men. Escape? That was still an option, but not while she was standing on the stairs leading down, the space was simply too little for her to use her movement technique to the fullest.

Sighing, she looked at the Crown Prince, not at all trying to cover up her dismay and annoyance.

"Crown Prince, I already said what had to be said, if you continue to trouble me, I cannot promise that I will not hold a grudge against you and your royal family."

"Who do you think you are to threaten our entire Royal Family?" an arrogant and haughty female voice sounded upstairs as the princess and her entourage started descending the stairs.

"You are but a mere initiate Acquired Realm, Earth leveled Cultivator! You are trash!"

The princess had seen her cultivation base when she was trying out the sword upstairs, and she did not believe that such trash was worth anything.

"I might not be so strong," Bai Rouyun agreed with a nod of her head, "but that does not mean that my backing isn't strong. Just look at how the Thousand Treasure Pavilion would rather insult you, a noble-born princess, over me, a piece of trash."

Hearing this, the princess' face turned pale, her eyes flashing with hatred again. Why did this woman have such a poisonous tongue? It was impossible to argue with her.

The Crown Prince was also aware that there was no way that the Royal Family would be able to survive against her wrath; she had, after all, a Blue tier, innate Realm expert as a guard.

"Miss, I did not want to insult you. I just wished to converse a bit with you." The Crown Prince humbled himself as much as he could as he looked at her. "I have been unable to forget about you since our last encounter and wish to satisfy some of my curiosity."

"But, I am not curious about you at all." Bai Rouyun answered with a flat voice, thoroughly shocking the Crown Prince.

"Miss!" a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and like a whirlwind Mo Chu appeared beside Bai Rouyun, his eyes alert and a blue colored Qi on his palm.

"What is going on here?" Mo Chu asked angrily. If he had come later, would they have kidnapped his madam?

"Oh Little Chu, you came at the right time, let us leave." Bai Rouyun was as carefree and calm as usual; a breezy smile fluttered on her lips as she stretched her body.

"Master is anxious about you," Mo Chu said with hidden grievances. Who had ever seen their master so furious as he was when he heard that the guards at the front door had let her go out all alone.

"He is anxious?" Bai Rouyun cocked her head, looking puzzled, and Mo Chu realized that she had no idea about how important she was to Li Moyun.

Sighing slightly, he nodded his head. "Of course, you left without saying a word; he was worried that something had happened to you."

Bai Rouyun nodded her head casually. "Can you clear a path for us to leave?"

Mo Chu nodded his head, thrust out two palm attacks, and the eight guards in front were sent flying down the rest of the stairs; they had no chance to counterattack.

Seeing them being crushed so quickly, the princess' face turned pale in fear. If this guard was going to crush her as well, then she would never be able to stand a chance.

Although the woman was weak, she was not lying when she said that she had a background that could not be defeated by her royal bloodline.

Even the Crown Prince was feeling uncomfortable, he wanted to get closer to the woman, but he had no idea how.
