Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 501: Chapter 500: Falsely Claiming the Son-in-Law’s Gift Package

"To be blunt, if it were me, I’d definitely choose the more exceptional Yue Ji. I wouldn’t choose you!"

Hit with another critical blow, Princess Yu Qian’s face twisted in fury.

"How insolent! How dare you speak to the Princess that way!" Beside her, a frosty expression settled over the beautiful woman’s face.

Silver Bell watched the scene unfold and gave a dry cough. "Second Princess, Mr. Qin Feng is a Sealed Marquis Genius from the Star Sect and a friend of Princess Yue Ji. If word of this gets out, it might be said that our Silver Moon Race is using its position as host to bully a guest. If this were to reach the Queen’s ears..."

Silver Bell let her words hang in the air.

Princess Yu Qian’s expression turned completely frigid. She shot an icy glare at Silver Bell before her gaze finally landed on the black-robed young man.

"We’re leaving!" With a stony expression, the green-robed young woman turned to leave.

Qin Feng knew that the Second Princess of the Silver Moon Race must hate his guts by now.

But Qin Feng didn’t care. That was just his personality. He wouldn’t bother anyone who left him alone, but if someone came looking for trouble, he would never back down.

The two watched as Princess Yu Qian departed with a cold expression. Suddenly, Qin Feng spoke. "Commander Silver Bell, it seems the Second Princess has quite a problem with Yue Ji!"

Glancing at Qin Feng, Silver Bell hesitated. This was a family matter for the Silver Moon Race, but when she thought about Qin Feng’s relationship with Yue Ji...

Silver Bell decided there was no harm in telling him. He would find out sooner or later, anyway.

A few moments later, after Silver Bell’s explanation, Qin Feng finally understood why Princess Yu Qian had been so hostile toward him.

The reason, it turned out, was Yue Ji.

Though the two sisters shared the same mother, their innate talents had been different since childhood.

Yue Ji was the elder sister. Her aptitude was outstanding, and coupled with her talent for alchemy, she excelled in every way. From a young age, she was raised to be the Queen’s successor.

In contrast, the Second Princess, Yu Qian, was far more ordinary. Her aptitude, cultivation talent, and even her appearance were all a fair bit inferior to her elder sister’s.

Naturally, the clan members—and even outsiders—favored Yue Ji.

While the Second Princess Yu Qian didn’t say much about it, her heart was filled with discontent. This festered into a deep-seated resentment, which she even directed at the Queen.

Many members of the Silver Moon Race were aware of this. Out of sympathy, they didn’t say anything.

The Queen and Yue Ji were also very tolerant, hoping this would dissipate the resentment in Princess Yu Qian’s heart.

But over the years, Yu Qian had only grown worse.

Yue Ji’s decision to leave the Moonless Forest and enroll in All Stars Academy was largely due to this reason.

Qin Feng could read between the lines of Silver Bell’s words; she clearly felt that Yue Ji had been wronged.

Qin Feng shook his head. ’The Silver Moon Queen must have a terrible headache over this,’ he thought.

Both princesses were her legitimate daughters. On one hand, there was familial love; on the other, the growth and prosperity of the race.

As they were talking, a series of clear, urgent chimes suddenly rang out from the periphery.

Seven or eight chimes in succession! The sound echoed through the forest. Numerous experts from the Silver Moon Clan emerged from their treehouses, their gazes fixed in the direction of the ringing.

"That’s the warning bell from the outskirts of Silver Moon Lake!" Silver Bell’s expression changed as she listened intently.

"What’s happening?" Qin Feng asked, surprised. "With the power of the Silver Moon Race, are there still enemies who dare to invade?"

The ringing soon faded. Silver Bell’s expression relaxed, and upon hearing his question, she smiled. "I wouldn’t call them enemies. However, the Moonless Forest is known as the Fierce Beast Paradise. Although most of the powerful Barbaric Beasts are kept in check by the Silver Moon Race, there are always a few foolish creatures who don’t know their place and come to cause trouble in our territory!"

Qin Feng nodded. Just then, black figures shot like lightning from the surrounding treehouses, speeding toward the source of the alarm.

At that moment, a silver-haired woman in her thirties or forties hurriedly appeared before Qin Feng and Silver Bell.

"Commander Silver Bell, Young Master Qin, the Queen summons you to the Silver Moon Temple!"

"Young Master Qin, it looks like it’s time for your trial. The Queen is likely summoning you to prepare for it!"

Silver Bell said with a smile.

Qin Feng gave a wry smile.

Silver Bell said reassuringly, "Young Master Qin, don’t worry. The trial of our Silver Moon Race isn’t too difficult. With your skills, you should be able to complete it!"

Seeing Qin Feng’s troubled expression, Silver Bell couldn’t help but laugh. "Besides, Young Master Qin, completing the trial comes with many other benefits. According to the rules of the Silver Moon Race, if you succeed, you’ll be granted one Silver Moon Baptism and receive a mysterious gift as well!"

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up.

Qin Feng had heard of the ’Silver Moon Baptism’. It was an extremely ancient and mysterious ritual of the Silver Moon Race.

Qin Feng wasn’t sure of the specifics, but rumor had it that those who underwent the ritual would gain some mysterious benefits.

In any case, very few people throughout history had ever received the ’Silver Moon Baptism’.

But every expert who did had subsequently obtained a special ability.

This ability was nearly equivalent to an Innate Divine Ability, making it exceptionally precious!

Qin Feng was tempted, but he felt a little strange about it.

’Am I being a bit shameless here?’ Qin Feng thought. ’This Silver Moon Baptism is meant for the Prince Consort of the Silver Moon Race, and I’m just going to claim it under false pretenses...’

Qin Feng felt a pang of guilt. If he were exposed one day, the damage to his reputation would be immense.

’For a dignified Sealed Marquis Genius of the Star Sect to run off to the Silver Moon Race and pose as their son-in-law... isn’t that utterly ridiculous?’

Silver Bell, unaware of the thoughts flashing through the young man’s mind, smiled at the older woman. "Auntie Qiuyue, please lead the way!"

...

「While Qin Feng prepared for the trial.」

Princess Yu Qian stormed back to her private pavilion. Once inside her room, her anger only grew the more she stewed on it.

Qin Feng’s words—"I’d choose her, I wouldn’t choose you"—particularly made Princess Yu Qian’s blood boil.

CRASH! SMASH!

With a single sweep, she knocked the cups off the table. She then began to frantically smash everything in sight. Countless vases and ornaments were shattered.

"Why?! Why am I always second to that bitch? What’s so good about her? If it weren’t for the talent she inherited from Mother, how could she possibly compare to me? Cangtian is unjust! Mother is unjust!"

After her frenzied outburst, her eyes were bloodshot and she was grinding her teeth in rage.

"Your Highness, there’s no need to be so angry. He’s merely a lowly commoner. Why must you harm your own precious health over a few words from a peasant!"

Just then, a voice spoke up.

The stunningly beautiful woman who had witnessed everything finally spoke. Her gaze shifted, and a cryptic light flickered in her eyes as she looked at the young woman.

The beautiful woman’s words only stoked the flames. The reminder sent the young woman into a fresh wave of uncontrollable rage. For her, a dignified princess of the Silver Moon Race, to be so thoroughly humiliated by a commoner was an utter disgrace.

The memory of that line about looking in a mirror made the young woman wish she could slice Qin Feng into a thousand pieces!

Her beautiful eyes inconspicuously swept over the young woman’s face. The stunning woman smiled. "Princess, there’s really no need to be angry. With your status, teaching him a lesson would be quite simple, you know."

The young woman’s head snapped up, her gaze fixed on the beautiful woman, a fire burning in her eyes. "Auntie Bai, what’s your idea? If you have a way to kill that damned lowlife, I will not be stingy with my rewards!"
