Princess Seeks Revenge

Just as Long Chen was contemplating how to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes bit by bit, a giant net suddenly descended from the sky. Before Long Chen could react, he was instantly covered by it.

The net was designed with great ingenuity; the moment it covered Long Chen, it tightened rapidly, binding him firmly.

Just as Long Chen was about to struggle, his body suddenly felt light, and he was lifted into the air. Only then did he discover with shock that there was a giant hawk above his head.

The hawk was not a Demonic Beast, but a wild beast. However, because of its massive size and docile temperament, many experts liked to use them as mounts.

Clearly, this hawk was a mount, but it was too late for Long Chen to regret; having been careless, he had actually fallen into a trap.

Now that the hawk had flown to a height of a hundred zhang, looking at the ground below, Long Chen's face turned green with fear, and he dared not move at all.

He hoped that the quality of that net was solid; if it broke, even if Long Chen had ten lives, falling from such a height would mean they were all gone.

Even if Long Chen had heaven-defying abilities, falling down would surely leave him flattened into a pancake, and the area would definitely be larger than when he had thrown Zhou Yaoyang earlier.

"Hmph, you bold servant, how dare you bully my younger brother!"

Just then, a crisp, sharp shout came from the hawk's back. The voice was very pleasant, but the contained anger made Long Chen secretly think, 'This is bad.'

Long Chen gripped the large net tightly, but he couldn't see the person on the hawk's back at all. He simply kept silent, because he was afraid of angering the woman; if she let go, he would be finished.

'A good man doesn't fight with women, I won't lower myself to your level.' Long Chen kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word, making people feel as if he were afraid.

The woman on the hawk's back, seeing that Long Chen wasn't speaking, also stopped talking. Suddenly, she saw a large mountain and directly urged her mount to fly over there.

That mountain was none other than the Luoxia Mountain that Long Chen had visited before, but it was completely different from the time Meng Qi had brought him there.

Last time, he was on the hawk's back; this time, he was being carried. Furthermore, the landing was different; last time, it had been a steady descent.

This time, the treatment wasn't nearly as good; still ten-plus zhang from the ground, Long Chen was dropped in freefall.

"Bang!"

With a loud thud, although he had prepared and used his Qi to protect his body, being thrown from such a height still left him dizzy and seeing stars.

"Hmph, you bold servant, if I don't teach you a good lesson today, you won't know how to respect your master!"

Hearing that voice, flames rose in Long Chen's eyes. Now that he was on the ground, if he didn't flatten her nose, she wouldn't know how to respect her Master Long.

Long Chen's eyes were like two burning flames as he turned around abruptly. However, the moment he turned, the raging fire in his eyes was extinguished by half.

Although he knew the other party was a woman, when he saw her, Long Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

The woman looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, a full chest and perky buttocks, and a delicate waist. She wore a white long gown with a jade belt around her waist, which set off the fullness of her chest even more tightly.

What surprised Long Chen the most was that the woman had eyebrows like willow branches, peach-blossom eyes, and a straight, perky nose. A hint of anger hung on her delicate lips, yet it gave people a unique sense of beauty.

"You bold servant, where are you looking?" The woman, seeing Long Chen staring at her without blinking, couldn't help but say angrily.

The anger that had originally disappeared was reignited by her calling him a servant. Long Chen sneered, "Little girl, did you take the wrong medicine, or take too much medicine? What crazy talk is this? Why did you kidnap me here? Could it be that you've taken a liking to this Young Master, are coveting this Young Master's good looks, and want to harbor evil intentions?"

By the time Long Chen finished speaking, his face was full of shock and pity, which made the young girl's pink face turn completely red with anger.

"You shameless scoundrel, you bullied my younger brother, and I'm here today to vent his anger! With your appearance, even if this Young Miss were blind, I wouldn't take a liking to you!" the woman rebuked angrily.

"Your younger brother?" Long Chen was a bit puzzled.

"Hmph, my younger brother is the Seventh Prince, Chu Feng. You actually caused him embarrassment today, so I'm here to take revenge for him."

The woman was none other than Chu Feng's older sister, Chu Yao, the Empire's Third Princess. The Fengming Emperor had seven sons and three daughters, and Chu Yao and Chu Feng were both the youngest, respectively.

Today, Chu Yao suddenly saw Chu Feng return, lost in thought, and couldn't help but find it strange. She asked for the reason, but Chu Feng was truly terrified and simply refused to say.

Chu Yao found out through other channels that Chu Feng had been invited out by the heir of the Barbarian Marquis, and she soon learned the ins and outs of the matter.

Learning that her younger brother had been frightened, Chu Yao was furious and wanted to find trouble for Long Chen. However, she was a princess after all, so it wasn't good for her to be too ostentatious in her actions, so she secretly waited on the road that Long Chen had to take to get home.

As a result, Long Chen was thinking about things and never expected that someone would openly ambush him within the Imperial Capital, so he really had been caught in the trap in a daze.

"It seems I didn't do anything to your younger brother, right?" Long Chen said, frowning.

"You bold servant, scaring my younger brother like that is a capital crime! Do you not understand the hierarchy of superior and inferior?" Chu Yao said coldly.

With her calling him a servant every other word, Long Chen's temper flared up, and he cursed, "You idiot woman, don't think that just because you're a woman, I wouldn't dare to deal with you. Don't push Master Long too far; when Master Long gets angry, he even hits himself!"

"You… you… you bastard!"

In her life, it seemed no one had ever cursed her like that. Now, being scolded by Long Chen, her pretty face turned cold with anger.

Extending her jade hand, she struck a palm towards Long Chen. What Long Chen didn't expect was that this Chu Yao was actually a Qi Gathering Nine Heavens expert.

As that palm struck out, a scorching aura erupted, as if flames were attached to her palm. It was clearly a battle skill of at least Human Grade Medium Grade level.

Long Chen saw at a glance that the palm strike was unusual. Although he wasn't afraid, he was unwilling to use brute force to clash head-on with her.

"Whoosh!"

Just as that jade hand was about to touch Long Chen's body, he slid his feet backward and gently guided her palm, leading her strike away to hit the empty air.

Chu Yao's full-force palm had been effortlessly neutralized by Long Chen. Her entire strength felt as if it had hit cotton, which was extremely frustrating.

"Bastard, you actually dare to dodge!" Chu Yao shouted sharply. Tapping her feet on the ground, she moved like a butterfly in flowers and struck again with another palm.

Long Chen was almost amused by Chu Yao's words. How could such a beautiful woman say such rustic, unsophisticated things?

However, although Long Chen was also full of anger, he really couldn't bring himself to be ruthless against a beautiful woman. If it were Zhou Yaoyang, he would have already given him a good beating with kicks and stomps.

Long Chen dodged several moves in succession and discovered that although Chu Yao's cultivation was high, her Foundation was extremely unstable; her actual cultivation was probably not even as good as an average Qi Gathering Fifth Heaven expert.

Although her moves were exquisite, they were too rigid. What almost made Long Chen spit blood was that Chu Yao's moves were actually just following a set routine.

Regardless of whether Long Chen dodged or blocked, she went through the same set of actions from start to finish, not even changing her moves, which almost made Long Chen laugh out loud several times.

"Bastard, what are you laughing at?" Having failed to take down Long Chen for a long time, Chu Yao stomped her feet in anger. Now, seeing Long Chen's face, which he was struggling to keep straight, she couldn't help but be furious:

"You country bumpkin who doesn't even know how to follow a routine, if you have the ability, fight me according to the routine!"

Long Chen finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. His previous anger vanished like smoke. It was the first time in his life he had met such an interesting woman.

His laughter was a big mistake; Chu Yao's face turned livid with anger. She regarded Long Chen's behavior as the greatest mockery.

"Scoundrel!"

Chu Yao shouted angrily, and suddenly, she didn't care about routines anymore. Like someone who didn't know martial arts at all, she lunged at Long Chen.

This was completely beyond Long Chen's expectations; he had never seen this fighting style before. He hurriedly reached out to push, wanting to push Chu Yao away.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Chu Yao was acting like a madwoman, ignoring Long Chen's hands and continuing to lunge at him.

Consequently, Long Chen's large hands pressed firmly against Chu Yao's chest. The soft touch, an unprecedented feeling, made Long Chen's eyes widen—he was stunned.

And Chu Yao suddenly felt a pair of large hands covering her peaks. It was as if she had been struck by lightning; her whole body stiffened, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Misunderstanding, it's absolutely a misunderstanding!"

Long Chen hurriedly explained, but in his nervousness, he completely forgot to withdraw his large hands before speaking.

"Bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

Chu Yao suddenly grabbed Long Chen's arm, opened her cherry mouth, and bit down hard on his arm.

"Hey, hey, stop it—no, stop biting! Ouch!"

Long Chen's arm felt excruciating pain. Chu Yao was biting onto his arm tightly and wouldn't let go. Long Chen shook it a few times, but couldn't shake her off; instead, it hurt more and more.

In his desperation, Long Chen also got anxious. Without thinking, he slapped his palm onto Chu Yao's perky buttocks.

"Smack!"

The elastic sensation made Long Chen's heart flutter, but the excruciating pain in his arm instantly brought him back to his senses.

"Let go of me quickly, or I'm going to spank you again!" Long Chen threatened loudly.

A sharp pain came from her buttocks. Chu Yao let out a soft groan, but she didn't release Long Chen's arm and continued to bite hard.

Another wave of sharp pain came. Long Chen couldn't help but get angry. He raised his large hand and slapped three times in a row, and this time, the force was quite heavy.

Chu Yao let out a pained groan, and tears even flowed out—partly from the pain, and partly from feeling wronged—but she absolutely refused to let go.

However, what surprised Chu Yao was that after Long Chen hit her three times, he didn't move anymore, letting her bite as hard as she could, remaining completely still.

After a while, perhaps because her mouth was sore from biting, or perhaps because she was tired, Chu Yao slowly released her cherry lips.

Long Chen's arm was now a bloody mess, and fresh blood had stained his sleeve. Long Chen sighed and said, "Are you done venting?"

Chu Yao looked at Long Chen and saw that there wasn't a trace of anger on his face; instead, there was a faint sense of desolation, which made her heart tremble slightly for reasons unknown.

"You… why didn't you hit back?" For some reason, Chu Yao actually asked this question. As soon as she said it, Chu Yao regretted it, and her pretty face flushed red.

"I'm not good at hitting women," Long Chen said crossly.

After speaking, he tore his sleeve open, revealing his arm, from which a piece of flesh had almost been bitten off, and tore off a strip of cloth to bandage it.

Long Chen's words made Chu Yao's face flush. The original anger, for some reason, had vanished without a trace.

Seeing that Long Chen couldn't bandage his arm at all with one hand, she actually reached out her jade hand, took the strip of cloth from Long Chen's hand, and said softly,

"Let me help you bandage it."
