Chapter 1503: Chapter 1497
The Fourth Prince initially believed that with the ghost fire, he could find Hua Yaorao.
Little did he know, he encountered a ghost claw instead.
Just from observing that ghost claw, the Fourth Prince knew its aura was extraordinary.
He couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity and hurried forward to seek an audience.
"Zhu Qianjun’s ghost fire? I’ve told you before, there’s no longer any connection with your Zhu Family henceforth."
Hua Yaorao was somewhat displeased, the people of Zhu Residence were too persistent and troublesome.
Initially, she assisted Zhu Qianjun because she saw his courage and strategy, and she needed a runner in Wangjing.
But things were different now; she had already established an absolute ruling underground kingdom in Wangjing.
A new candidate for the Human Emperor had already appeared, and the Zhu Family naturally became an abandoned pawn.
Moreover, Hua Yaorao no longer gained anything beneficial from the Zhu Family.
"King Hua, last time, my uncle rashly used ghosts to assassinate Prince Yuan; it was our fault. My uncle has realized his mistake. He has prepared ten young and handsome lads to present to King Hua, hoping King Hua will calm down."
The Fourth Prince quickly put on a flattering expression and respectfully said.
"Zhu Qianjun has a keen sense of timing, very well, let this matter slide this time."
Hua Yaorao, upon hearing, felt a bit uplifted.
Throughout her life, she had two hobbies: power and male beauty.
Zhu Qianjun catered to her interests, hence able to leverage her influence.
Back then, Zhu Qianjun was at the peak of his youth, and he served Hua Yaorao diligently.
Now that he has aged, Hua Yaorao no longer favors him.
As for the Fourth Prince, he looks fairly decent, but compared to those charming ghost men, he is not much better, and Hua Yaorao doesn’t spare him a glance.
"Moreover, I also have another request for King Hua this time. Concerning Prince Yuan..."
The Fourth Prince saw that Hua Yaorao was in a good mood and seized the opportunity to speak.
"Ha~ I knew it, the people of your Zhu Family are not that easily discouraged. I’ve already said, I won’t help you anymore. If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for not being courteous."
Hua Yaorao said unhappily.
Humans have their path, ghosts have their rules.
Though she held sway in Wangjing, she wasn’t a match for those so-called orthodox forces.
Those orthodox forces had been turning a blind eye to her antics for years because, although she did some things that were morally corrupt, they were minor troubles, and they couldn’t be bothered to round her up.
But if she killed a future Human Emperor candidate, that would be a different story.
The people of the Zhu Family were seemingly setting her up for destruction.
"King Hua, please do not be angered. We sincerely wish to collaborate with King Hua. King Hua, as long as you are willing to help me ascend the Fuzhou throne, I am willing to offer half of my soul. Additionally, Prince Yuan’s soul will be yours. He possesses the Emperor’s Fortune; if you can devour it, it will greatly benefit your cultivation."
"Fourth Prince, I’m afraid half of your soul is not worth that price. You haven’t become Human Emperor yet, but Prince Yuan is a Quasi-Human Emperor. Why should I take the risk when I could live peacefully with Prince Yuan instead?"
Hua Yaorao is not foolish.
She isn’t going to engage in thankless tasks.
"If this is not enough, I will also pledge allegiance to you, making the entire Fuzhou your domain. I promise that once I ascend to the throne, you and your followers will have free passage within Fuzhou."
The Fourth Prince was willing to go all-out to please Hua Yaorao, after all, the safety of the world and common people was of no concern to him.
