Chapter 1503: Chapter 1503
Little Princess was as fit as a fiddle and felt that she was about to reach the peak of her demonic existence — her brother finally verbally endorsed her as his sister at the meeting!
What a pity, though, that this declaration happened in Central State; it would have been perfect if it had been stated in Great Wu.
Suddenly, Little Princess felt two beams of hostile stares, which stung like sharp blades biting into her flesh. She turned her head and locked eyes with not-so-distant Velda Yvette. She responded fiercely, holding up two fingers and shouting, "What are you looking at, old hag? I’ll gouge your eyes out if you keep staring!"
Thousands of warriors were stunned: This was "Your Excellency’s" "good little sister" daring to directly provoke the original consort for the first time! No, this wasn’t a provocation, this was an outright declaration of war.
However, it became evident to all that Little Princess’s cultivation level seemed to even exceed Velda Yvette’s. This gave her some confidence. If it really came down to a fight, Velda Yvette would probably lose... The big question now was who would the Protector take sides with?
Velda Yvette was stupefied, how could this little wench be so arrogant?! With a trembling body and an ashen face, she dared not to quarrel with Princess Amelia openly. She glared furiously at "Chilton Dante", gritted her teeth and growled, "Come with me!"
Jacinot was rather confused: Who was she? Why does she seem so familiar with Chilton Dante?
Unable to decipher his memories, Jacinot only had a bare understanding of Chilton Dante’s social connections in the Central State. He absolutely hadn’t anticipated falling into such a deep trap upon arriving.
Jacinot frowned; how dare this woman give orders to a protector? What gave her such audacity? A thought occurred to Jacinot and he almost lost his composure: This was terrible, this woman must be Chilton Dante’s wife!
Only someone of this status could have such a perfectly matching attitude with Velda Yvette.
"Whatever the matter is, we’ll discuss it later. Has the situation changed in the kingdom while I was away?" Fearing to go alone with Velda Yvette, Jacinot chose to stay in place. Keen on saving face and fearing the worst, he knew that she would discover he’s not her husband if she got too close.
Velda Yvette’s face darkened even more, but Chilton Dante’s reason was sound. She grunted in annoyance, turned around, and strode towards the large encampment in the vicinity.
Little Princess, filled with joy, jumped around and held her brother’s arm. Velda Yvette broke into a light cold sweat, her forehead pulsing furiously, as she took several deep breaths to suppress her anger. At the same time, a strong sense of danger surged within her: This is bad, this little fox could truly undermine my status!
Several cultivators of the Sixth Great Realm instantly entered the tent after Little Princess, reporting the recent situation to "Chilton Dante". For the first time, Jacinot had the opportunity to understand the various forces of Reed Mountain Country.
"Who do you think are the most likely spies that have been probing us recently?" Jacinot threw out a question, setting the tone for collective consideration.
"Isn’t it obvious? It has to be Keith!" Velda Yvette said dismissively. "Out of the five protectors, he and you are direct competitors."
Jacinot looked towards the others. The rest of the cultivation talents of the Sixth Realm nodded. "Keith’s cultivation and Your Excellency’s are the same [Martial Path Killing Intent]. However, the King only holds one War Command Dragon and Tiger Banner, thus only one of you can progress to the Eighth Realm."
Jacinot flashed a faint smile, "In that case, let’s eliminate Keith!"
The crowd was taken aback, "Your Excellency’s..."
Velda Yvette scoffed, "You went to the Eastern Land once, brought back a little demoness, and left your brain there? Leaving aside the fact that Keith’s power equals yours, for hundreds of years there has been a balance of power between you two - what would you use to kill him?
Even if you really have the ability, all of you are protectors. The King strictly forbids private fights. If this gets too much attention, not only will the King resent it, but the other three protectors will also add insult to injury!"
Before Jacinot could respond, Little Princess was already furiously retorting, "You’re a weak and cowardly old hag, and you dare to admonish my brother?!"
Velda Yvette’s anger reached its peak and she could barely endure it. Suddenly, she rose to her feet - but was pushed back down by Jacinot’s lifted hand. With tears spinning in her eyes, she felt wronged, glaring angrily at "Chilton Dante".
Only new love, never lingering affection for old love; how heartless!
Jacinot calmly stated, "No need to debate any further, I’ve made my decision. You all should start looking into Keith’s information immediately, I need to know his whereabouts. I will handle this personally."
With a domineering glance around the crowd, he said, "The King indeed strictly forbids protectors from engaging in private fights, but once I’ve killed Keith, would the King punish a more powerful protector just for an already fallen one?"
The few Sixth Realm cultivators exchanged looks with each other and finally kneeled to report, "There’s no need for further investigation. Recently, Keith has always been training the naval forces at Willow Lake."
Jacinot stood up straight and commanded, "Lead the way!"
Upon stepping out of the tent, Jacinot heaved a sigh of relief: I have to leave as soon as possible! If Velda Yvette were to enter his tent tonight... then what would he do!
Velda Yvette hurriedly followed, fretting, "Are you really not going to listen to advice?" Jacinot didn’t care and just took off into the air. His subordinates were somewhat hopeful, "That ’sworn sister’ is indeed a formidable force. Based on her aura, she is not far behind Your Excellency’s and can be considered a protector level powerhouse. She is completely different from the timid Velda Yvette."
With their combined forces, there really may be a chance to eliminate Keith! Your Excellency was right. Once Keith is truly dead, the King will not truly punish His Excellency for it. He would at most reprimand him verbally.
Jacinot, accompanied by a Sixth Realm talent called "Jacinot" - who had to come since Jacinot was unfamiliar with the way - and Little Princess, flew towards Willow Lake.
There were three thousand naval soldiers and six hundred large and small warships in this area. Keith never imagined that "Chilton Dante" would audaciously attack, taking him completely by surprise!
Jacinot reached over Willow Lake’s air space, released Gourd Elder from his hand, and the All-encompassing Small World instantly covered the entire Willow Lake, rendering the three thousand naval soldiers immobilized.
Jacinot was dumbfounded for a moment and after a long time praised, "What an amazing weapon!"
Little Princess cheered, let go of her brother’s arm, jumped down from the high altitude, opened up her Spirit Fire phoenix tails behind her, wrapped her Dagger in it, quickly expanded several hundred feet, formed a Spirit Fire Giant Sword, and swept over Keith.
Brothers together, making waves in Central State!
