BXBX NOVEL Chapter 450 You Are the Only Consort of Prince An
Chapter 450 You Are the Only Consort of Prince An
The Little Bear deserved to be the steward of the City Lord’s Mansion. He was very efficient in his work. He soon cleaned a courtyard for Li Ye, and brought him healing pills whose class-ranking was not low.
Maybe the demon bear was afraid that Li Ye would be unsatisfied and continue to disturb him, so he chose to compromise wisely.
For the demon bear, only when Li Ye was satisfied and couldn’t find any reason to trouble him could he hide from Li Ye and avoid getting angry...
A deck chair was placed under the shade of the trees in the courtyard. Li Ye was lying on it, squinting and enjoying the leisure time. He was so comfortable that he wanted to shout happily.
Li Ye came to the territory of demon clan to form a large army of cultivators for himself. The condition that monkey said was to try to help the demon clan break the suppression of the Immortal Court. So his final destination was Seven Sages Mountain.
Before that, he had to go to ask for Soul-stabilizing Bead from Lion Camel King. Of course, he could go to the Seven Sages Mountain first. If he could solve the problem for the demon clan, then Lion Camel King had to give him the Soul-stabilizing Bead.
Li Ye was not worried at all. If he could finally open the seal and go back with the cultivators of demon clan, he had to build his prestige on the way first so as to make the cultivators of demon clan willing to fight with him, rather than disobey the orders after arriving in the Tang Empire.
To build his prestige, he had to teach some demons a lesson. The demon bear came to Li Ye on his own initiative, so Li Ye had no reason to let him go. In terms of cultivation, he was not as good as the demon bear, but winning him was not the only way to teach him a lesson.
He wanted to teach both the demon bear and Macaque King a lesson...
In addition, unlike the mortal world, the territory of demon clan was rich in spiritual Qi, experts, and magic treasures. Li Ye also wanted to improve his strength and that of Wu You along the way. If he could attract some helpers and go back with them, it would also be helpful if he could not build an army formed by the cultivators of demon clan.
Li Ye looked sideways at the demon leopard, who was sitting with arms around himself beside him. His upper body was straight, but his eyes were closed, seeming to be refreshing his spirit by closing his eyes.
Li Ye said to him, “You follow me to pick on the demon bear in open. Aren’t you afraid that the other side will resort to the force of City Lord’s Mansion to avenge on you after I leave?”
Actually, they had been communicating for a while. Li Ye knew something about the demon leopard, so he was not surprised at the other party’s choice. Li Ye knew that the demon leopard chose to be his guard, because he just wanted to disgust the demon bear, not because he admired him.
The demon leopard opened his eyes and said indifferently, “In the worst case, I will leave Panfeng City. After all, I’m not happy to stay here. If it wasn’t for my unwillingness, I would already have left.”
Li Ye nodded and said nothing more. Of course, he wanted the demon leopard to follow him, but it was too early to say that now. It was not the right time yet.
The sparrow was standing on the branch, watching the City Lord’s Mansion, alert like a sentry.
After taking the pill given by Li Ye, the sparrow had improved his cultivation and changed his role quickly. At least he would not leave soon, which was different from the demon leopard’s temporary follow.
Li Ye got up, left the deck chair, and was going to go into the room to refine the magic treasures from the demon bear.
When he was about to leave, the sparrow, who had been keeping watch in a serious way, suddenly turned his head and looked at him secretly, and then immediately took back his sight. It seemed that he had done something wrong.
The Duchess was leaning against the windowsill on the second floor of the courtyard next door and looking at the empty deck chair. She seemed to be thinking about something and kept motionless for a while.
The demon bear was highly cultivated, so some of his magic treasures were of high-quality, which were different from the commodities of all sorts of levels in the Star Pavilion. There were more than 200 magic treasures in the two storage bags, most of which were in the medium rank, and four of which were in the high rank.
Generally speaking, most of the cultivators of demon clan in the Ground Immortal Realm and Sky Immortal Realm would use magic treasures of low class-ranking. Those in the Real Immortal Realm and Taiyi Real Immortal Realm would use magic treasures of middle class-ranking. And those in the Golden Immortal Realm would use magic treasures of high class-ranking. Only Daluo Golden Immortal had nonpareil magic treasures, and even innate magic treasures.
Li Ye aimed at upgrading the class-ranking of Luke Sword, so he fed more than 200 magic treasures to Dragon Qi with no reservation. This time, the Dragon Qi was more interested than it was last night, especially when it saw the magic treasures of high class-ranking.
After more than 200 magic treasures became the nutrition of Luke Sword, it improved a lot and it was almost a magic treasure of high class-ranking, but it still lacked a little bit.
Because of the lack of a little bit, Luke Sword could not complete the qualitative change.
Li Ye felt it was a pity, but was helpless at the same time. “There were four magic treasures of high class-ranking, more than one hundred magic treasures of middle class-ranking, and so many magic treasures of low class-ranking. If they had been disassembled and re-refined, I could have made several magic treasures of high class-ranking. However, they actually failed to promote Luke Sword from the middle-rank to the high-rank...”
There were only two explanations for that. One was that the refining method of Dragon Qi had wasted a lot. The other was that the Luke Sword was very special and needed more materials to refine and upgrade itself.
Li Ye thought about it for a moment and thought that the former explanation was not reasonable. Because he didn’t notice the flow of spiritual Qi. After the essence was absorbed by Dragon Qi, all the magic treasures became complete waste with no residue of essence.
Then the answer must be the latter. This often meant that the refined magic treasure was much better than ordinary magic treasure. How good was it? It depended on the class-ranking and quantity of magic treasures it consumed.
Li Ye now held the Luke Sword in his hand, and felt its mighty power, which created a kind of omnipotent power for no reason. It seemed that it could cut off everything in the world.
Li Ye touched his chin and said, “It seems that Luke Sword has really become different. I need to find a chance to try its power... I’d better upgrade it to the high rank first.”
In fact, while fighting against the demon tiger, Li Ye realized that Luke Sword’s power had greatly improved. But at that time, he thought that this was just the inevitable change of Luke Sword after it was upgraded from low rank to middle rank. He didn’t know that it was actually better than magic treasures of middle class-ranking.
But Li Ye couldn’t be blamed for that. After all, he hadn’t used any magic treasures of middle rank before...
Thinking of upgrading Luke Sword to the high rank, Li Ye could not help but think of the figure of demon bear in his mind, and the jade pendant and golden red rope on the other side’s waist... A smile gradually appeared on his face.
If Steward Little Bear saw his smile, he would be scared to sweat, because in his eyes, the smile was ill-disposed.
However, the demon bear was hiding from him and didn’t want to show up now. Li Ye couldn’t see him easily, which was a problem. It seemed that he needed to find a suitable opportunity... If he couldn’t find an opportunity, he could only create one.
Li Ye thought about a lot of things, and it was not until dusk that he stopped thinking.
He was about to get up when he heard a voice that was gentle, affectionate, charming and beautiful. It was like a mountain stream and made people feel relaxed and happy.
Somebody was intoning slowly with this voice.
“You woke up, my little fish. Do you remember the morning?”
“Last night, you said may the night never come.”
“Is it your tears, or mine, that glided down your cheeks?”
“Haven’t you cried in the season of first kiss and goodbye?”
“My fingertips can still sense your fast heart-beating.”
“As well as a strand of long flying hair mixed with your warm body fragrance.”
Li Ye was shocked and he almost couldn’t hold the Luke Sword. He looked at the door in amazement.
The moonlight was shining on the door frame, and a hot woman in a long dress was leaning against the door frame, with her hair falling on the chest. She was extremely beautiful. Her eyebrows were long and slender, her eyes were like apricots, and her red lips were charming. She was full of charm.
She looked at Li Ye, and her eyes seemed to be full of words.
Li Ye was already surprised, but now he was even stupefied.
Because the innkeeper was holding a plate in her hand, on which was a cooked fat fish. Under the light and moonlight, it was steaming and emitting fragrance.
When Li Ye saw that she was the innkeeper, he was helpless and speechless. “Why do you hold a plate of fish? Did you do it especially for the poem? But it’s too fancy, and it’s not morning now.”
Seeing Li Ye coming over, the innkeeper with mature charm smiled at him. Then she twisted her slender waist and walked to him slowly, gently saying, “It’s almost time for dinner. I specially made dishes and brought them to you. There’s also alcohol!”
Li Ye looked behind the innkeeper and found nothing unusual, which made him feel a little strange. In the past, every time the innkeeper came to seduce him, Wu You would show up in time, but now why hadn’t she appeared?
The innkeeper put the cooked fish on the table and did not leave, but looked at Li Ye affectionately, waiting for his response. It seemed that if Li Ye showed little politeness, she would fall into Li Ye’s arms.
Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked, “Who taught you this poem?”
The innkeeper chuckled while covering her mouth and then said, “Nobody taught me. I made it. Is it good?”
Li Ye pondered again, and suddenly looked at the innkeeper and said, “Kuiba?”
The innkeeper was stunned. “What?”
Li Ye took a deep breath.
On the branch outside the yard, the sparrow saw the innkeeper read the whole poem and disappear into the light inside the door and took a deep breath.
His one wing kept patting his chest, as if he was worried about something.
After waiting for a long time, the sparrow didn’t hear the expected movement. Small eyes full of uneasiness, he thought in his mind, “Has it been exposed? It shouldn’t! Alas, I shouldn’t have taught the demon fox that poem. I should have copied another one casually... If it wasn’t for the pills given by Li Ye she gave to me, hum...”
The sparrow shook his head and sighed, face full of melancholy. “It’s all for the fish, the damn fish! Alas, I’m so excellent. As long as I work, I will do it best... Well, it’s a bad habit. I should change it later...”
Behind the walls of the courtyard next door, a small head with a high bun appeared. She was absorbed in looking at Li Ye’s room with her big smart eyes, so that she didn’t pay attention to the self-talk of the sparrow.
There was no extra noise in the room. After the innkeeper said ‘what’, there was no conversation. It was so quiet.
This made the duchess a little flustered. “Is it going be found?” She thought in her mind.
But from this place, the duchess couldn’t see anything, so she could only be worried. But she didn’t want to go to other places, because Li Ye was sitting in the inner room and there was no better place than here to see him.
In the room, Li Ye looked at the innkeeper, and his eyes became very deep. “Was it the duchess who asked you to come?”
“The duchess? No!” The innkeeper’s eyes twinkled with panic. Although it was covered up in time, Li Ye noticed it.
“If you don’t tell the truth, I will be very angry!” said Li Ye, whose eyes were full of fierceness.
The innkeeper saw Li Ye’s eyes and couldn’t help crying in horror while covering her mouth.
The duchess was very sad. “Why hasn’t there been any movement for a long time? It shouldn’t be. Shall I go and have a look? No! It will be really exposed if I go.”
It was really Wu You who asked the innkeeper to send the fish. This afternoon, she found the innkeeper and said that she would give her a chance to serve Li Ye. This evening was the right time. She asked the innkeeper not to miss it.
At first, the innkeeper was surprised. She thought Wu You was teasing her, but she soon found that the other party didn’t mean that. So the innkeeper was more surprised, because she clearly knew the real meaning of serving said by Wu You.
Wu You had a reason to do so.
She figured it out today.
Last night when the innkeeper said that she wanted to follow Li Ye, Li Ye gave Wu You the decision-making power. At that time, Wu You thought that Li Ye was respecting her identity and power as the consort... But she wasn’t sure. What if Li Ye didn’t mean to marry her, or didn’t want her to be his consort?
Wu You came up with a way to find the answer to this question. That was letting the innkeeper accompany Li Ye.
If Li Ye accepted the innkeeper, it meant that he was interested in the innkeeper, who then would naturally be the Side-consort of Prince An in the future. Then there was only one woman who could decide the fate of the side-consort. That was the Consort of Prince An.
So Wu You let the innkeeper go.
She thought her idea was smart... but felt it was a bit stupid after thinking about it carefully.
Anyway, she was very nervous now, because the answer was coming. When she was lying on the wall of the courtyard and thought about it carefully, she thought it was not right, but she couldn’t say what was wrong.
Soon, she saw Li Ye come out, who then found her at once. Before she could hide, Li Ye appeared behind her.
“It’s over... It’s over... Brother Ye is angry!” Wu You did not dare to look up at Li Ye in despair. She could only look at her toes.
Just now, she saw clearly that when the innkeeper, dressing neatly, lowered her head and came out with Li Ye, she looked like she had done something wrong.
Obviously, Li Ye didn’t accept the innkeeper.
And it was very likely that he had found that it was she who was making trouble with it.
So Li Ye appeared in front of her.
Wu You grabbed the corner of her dress with a pale face. She knew that she had done something wrong, so she apologized in a low voice, “Brother Ye, I’m wrong. Don’t be angry. I won’t dare to...”
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stiffened and froze.
Because she felt a warm hand covering her face.
She looked up in amazement and saw that Li Ye was looking at her tenderly. Not only he was not angry at all, but also his eyes were full of tenderness. That kind of tenderness belonged to the man, who would only show it to his own woman.
Wu You felt nothing and was at a loss. Her pale face turned red and hot in an instant.
Li Ye looked at her and seriously said, “When we return to Pinglu, I will talk about a marriage with your father. You’re the only Consort of Prince An.”
