Chapter 398: Rather be Empress than Consort!
Chen Ming looked once then ignored it. He also felt Yan Shengxiao’s presence. Who else but Yan Shengxiao can have such star power? “Yan Shengxiao is across?”
High Priest watched him in shock, “How does His Highness know?”
“A special reaction among Star Dragons.”
High Priest’s approval went up a notch, Star Dragon is an enigmatic existence.
The door was slammed open and here came Yan Shengxiao. Plainly dressed, yet her gait still held a certain attraction; as if a G.o.ddess walked on this earth, pure and holy.
Chen Ming smiled, “What a coincidence.”
Yan Shengxiao glared with hatred, “Humph!”
She slammed the gate to her courtyard. Chen Ming was still finding it hard to understand the reason for her loathing, Must be a r.e.t.a.r.d thing.
Yan Shengxiao went inside when a maid asked, “Young miss, why are you angry?”
“Star Dragon Crown Prince came.”
“That ungrateful and oblivious Star Dragon Crown Prince of our young miss’ feelings deserves to be shut out!”
Yan Shengxiao slapped her, “What do you know? Who needs his caring?”
She kept silent. Anything about Star Dragon Crown Prince would earn her ire. Yan Shengxiao said, “Is prince Long Qiao still here?”
“His Highness is still in the Southern Gate Monastery. He always liked young miss and is a much better match than Star Dragon Crown Prince. He is always concerned about young miss’s wellbeing.”
Yan Shengxiao’s second slap drew blood, “What do you think Long Qiao is? You think a filthy bloodline can compare with the n.o.ble Star Dragon?”
The maid had no idea what to say. Any word from her would earn her mistress’ wrath. Yan Shengxiao said, “Go and invite prince Long Qiao.”
When the maid left, Yan Shengxiao gazed at the house across, “Rather be Empress than consort!”
If not for Star Dragon Crown Prince, she would’ve been Empress, supreme ruler of fiends. Now, she sank down to the rank of breeding tool. This was a future she did not want.
If she had anything short of fondness for him, he’d have to wait before she gained power.
At least until I become an Immortal King.
Chen Ming and Qing Long settled in. The later never left. How could he before he earned his due.
They drank tea in the garden, “Your Highness, why not visit Fairy Star Dragon, your marriage is preordained by fate. The Star Dragon clan has only you two.”
Chen Ming chuckled, “We aren’t quite on friendly terms. She will come on her own soon.”
The door was kicked open and in stormed a youth. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, quite handsome. But there seemed to be some rage in his glare.
Qing Long recognized him. He was prince Long Qiao, son of an Immortal King, and one who was fond of Yan Shengxiao.
Qing Long raised his voice, “How dare you burst in like that? Do you know where you are? Mind your status, prince Long Qiao! ”
Long Qiao cackled, “Star Dragon Crown Prince… how ridiculous. With how many of them are out there, who’s to say he’s the real one? I’ve seen too many posers to last a lifetime!”
Chen Ming eyed him, Such is youth, unable to put a cork on their hormones. He took a sip of tea, unfazed one might add, “And what you’re gonna do about it?”
“Inspect your ident.i.ty!”
“How?”
“A fiend’s bloodline is sacred. The blood test is the answer!”
Qing Long advised, “Your Highness, you never cultivated the Alldragon Stele scriptures and your bloodline is still dormant. You cannot go through with this!
Qing Long raved at Long Qiao, “Even with your high status, prince, a blood test will be done after Star Dragon Crown Prince gazed upon the Alldragon Stele!”
Chen Ming’s thoughts, Blood test! In this aspect, Chen Ming held not an ounce of fear. Dao Blood Aura’s effect will deal with it!
The fiends’ so-called blood test was nothing more than a way to check the power of a bloodline. They would throw a drop of blood among other bloodlines and the strongest bloodline would devour the others.
Chen Ming blocked Qing Long with his hand, “Since you want it, then do it.”
Long Qiao said, “The blood of many Immortal Kings is needed, and can’t be procured in a short time. In this case, if we use Fairy Star Dragon’s blood as a subst.i.tute and match it, you are a true Star Dragon!”
Chen Ming paused, “Then go get the blood.”
Long Qiao cackled, “Just you wait!”
Qing Long said, “Your Highness, don’t! Fairy Star Dragon awoke her blood and would be stronger than yours!”
Chen Ming waved, “No need to fret. I feel that my bloodline is much stronger than Yan Shengxiao!”
Qing Long was stunned, Real or fake? “This is too dangerous, however. Yet it doesn’t matter since it will hold no value, regardless.”
Long Qiao appeared in tow with the High Priest. He must’ve caught wind of it and came in quality of witness.
This move of Star Dragon Crown Prince caused quite the stir. He had yet to gaze upon the Alldragon Stele and surmised his blood would be weaker than Fairy Star Dragon’s.
However, this blood test would roughly gauge the truth behind his status. If his blood fought for a while or wasn’t devoured, it spoke volumes.
High Priest began, “An important even as this requires the presence of the Regent. As he is not here, I have come instead.”
Long Qiao threw a smug look Chen Ming’s way. This fool didn’t see the Alldragon Stele and will fall short of Yan Shengxiao’s blood! When he fails, I can just behead this faker. Yan Shengxiao will be all mine!
Long Qiao said, “I have brought Fairy Star Dragon’s blood. Star Dragon Crown Prince, will a quack like you dare go through with the blood test?”
Chen Ming took his sweet time getting up, “Cut the c.r.a.p. I’m getting p.i.s.sed. Give me the bowl!”
Witnessing this situation, High Priest smiled, “This old man will arrange it.”
