At this ti, Huoling held a crystal with red energy in his hand, leaning lazily on a large bed of crystal, with several young Crystal Demons huddled beside him, giggling.
On another bed nearby, a young Crystal Demon was also holding a crystal filled with red energy in his hand.
Huoling pressed the crystal on his chest, and the red energy imdiately infiltrated into his body. Huoling’s body tensed, and the crystal on his body’s surface trembled uncontrollably.
"How invigorating!" Huoling roared.
"Crown Prince, we want it too!" pleaded the young Crystal Demon ladies beside him in a coy voice.
"Here it is! Take it and get out!"
Huoling threw the red crystal to them, driving all the girls in the room away, leaving just the two of them.
"My brother, your sister Belle, she is quite popular," the other Crystal Demon boy began.
Huoling, hearing this, hamred a fist down onto the crystal bed, shattering the edge.
"I knew that bastard was up to sothing, going to the Crazy Demons’ Star every day for battles, talking about reclaiming ho! What’s there to reclaim in that broken planet? Our ho is right here! Crystal Demon Star! Only old fossils like my father, and your father, are always thinking about returning ho!"
The boy laughed: "Brother, don’t be so angry. Since the Emperor likes this, why don’t you go along with his thoughts? Belle can go to the Crazy Demon’s Star, why can’t you?"
"Nonsense! Belle just got lucky getting hold of sothing that has increased his and the surrounding Crystal Demon warriors’ power. You want to go there? You want to die!"
"You fool! If she has it, why can’t you get it from her? Just tell the Emperor that you too, want to make so contribution for the country, and ask your sister to give that thing to you. Then you take that thing, go fight a bit and co back, isn’t that thing then yours?"
At this, Huoling brightened up.
So, there’s such an easy way?
"Good! We’ll do just that!"
When Huoling returned to the Imperial Palace, he quickly sought out the Emperor and relayed his request. Initially, the Emperor disagreed, but being traditionally overly indulgent towards his children, he was worn down by Huoling’s constant pestering, and could only summon Belle to discuss the matter.
Upon hearing that Huoling was actually aiming for the Catalyst Crystal Stone, Belle only had one sentence to say.
"You better get that thought out of your head!" then turned around and left.
Joking aside, the Catalyst Crystal Stone was the Crystal Demon family’s hope for revival, the guarantee of reclaiming the Crazy Demon’s planet! If this was given to the good-for-nothing fool, Huoling, other than bullying people he would find no second use for it!
Huoling’s eyes grew wide in surprise and anger. He could only point at Belle’s retreating figure, unable to form a word in response.
The next day, as Belle went to check on the progress of the Light Cannon production, he found that the Light Cannon factory had been completely ransacked, and the completed Light Cannons lay in ruins, unusable.
This ti, Belle was indeed enraged, and not only him, even the usually very lenient Emperor was furious.
Long Yi was a Giant, helping Long Yi was equal to helping the Giants. And helping the Giants would, in turn, assure more help from the Giants. And with the help of the Giants, the Crystal Demon race could break free from their isolated situation in the Multiverse.
The newly produced Light Cannons were ant to be stepping stones to strengthen relationships with the Giants!
But, these Light Cannons were destroyed!
Even a piece of random crystal debris can guess who did this.
At this ti, Huoling and his gang were enjoying the stimulation of special energy in that mysterious room, with Huoling boasting about yesterday’s deeds.
Suddenly, a large group of Imperial Guards rushed in and arrested everyone present.
"Have you gone mad!? Do you know who I am? How dare you touch ! I am Crown Prince Huoling! The Emperor’s son!" Huoling shouted loudly. And Huoling’s friends seed even less concerned, for everyone knew how powerful Huoling’s na was at any ti.
But, it seed, not this ti.
"Crown Prince Huoling, you and your friends have been arrested for deliberately sabotaging a Level 1 protected facility," the guard arresting him spoke.
"What rubbish Level 1 protected facility! It’s just a pile of useless junk! I want to see my father! You’re conspiring with Belle to fra !" Huoling howled.
The soldier nodded and said, "Yes, Crown Prince, we are about to et your father. But I must remind you that the order to arrest you was personally issued by your father, the Emperor."
When Huoling was sent back to the Imperial Palace, he was t with the wrathful Emperor. Since his birth, he had never before seen his father in such fury.
The Emperor only asked him a question: "Did you do it!"
Huoling initially intended to argue, but when he saw Belle, who was equally infuriated next to him, he felt a strange sense of pleasure in his heart. He raised his head arrogantly: "Yes! It was !"
The Emperor fell silent. He hung his head, trembling in his rage!
"More harm than good!" The Emperor roared, "Remove his Crystal Core, and lock him and his damn friends up in the Dungeon! Without my command, no one is allowed anywhere near the Dungeon!"
Huoling, who was defiantly raising his head, was now taken aback. To a Crystal Demon like him, having his Crystal Core removed and being thrown into a Dungeon were the ultimate punishnts, second only to having his consciousness wiped. He did not understand. It was just an old factory that manufactured Light Cannons, a weapon they Crystal Demons did not even use. Why was this so serious?
No! It wasn’t the factory. His father had been blinded by Belle! This had to be her doing!
Hatred welled up in Huoling’s heart. He wished he could personally slaughter his stupid sister. He had prepared the most vicious words, yet as he opened his mouth, they all transford into pleas.
"Father, I was wrong! Please don’t lock in the Dungeon! They were all my damn friends’ ideas!"
"Really! Causing the Crown Prince to commit a cri? This is a cri punishable by erasing one’s consciousness!" The Emperor snorted. Huoling’s friends, who had originally been kneeling on the ground, almost imdiately jumped up, pointing out that Huoling was the one who had led them. The factory was imperial property, they wouldn’t have been able to get in without Huoling!
Seeing his friends turning against him, Huoling decided to give it his all.
"Yes! I did it! What’s the big deal about a broken factory! Belle, you damned bastard, framing for the throne! Deceiving Father! I will kill you!"
The Emperor watched as Huoling struggled vigorously in the guards’ hands and heaved a heavy sigh.
"Execute it!"
Bang!
With one punch, Huoling’s Crystal Core was pulled out from his chest, and his body instantly turned into crystal fragnts.
"Since you made the mistake yourself, then you must bear the consequences yourself!"
As he watched the soldiers leave with several Crystal Cores, the Emperor sighed heavily.
"Alas! It’s all my fault!"
When Long Yi returned from the Elves and headed straight for the Academy of Sciences, seeing that the handover of the Light Cannon was three days away, and it was ti to prepare for the journey to the Gentle Wind Plain. However, at this mont, Belle suddenly sent news. She wanted to postpone the delivery date. From Belle’s tone, it seed that she had unspoken difficulties. Long Yi didn’t question further. Since she was uncomfortable, let’s wait, after all, Long Yi was not in a hurry to use it.
From the day the Long Yi Legion was established, Long Yi had not spent any ti in his barracks. However, now that Ai Lin was there, everything was arranged properly. The Dandi sisters had completely renovated these barracks, making them their ho in this world.
The Dandi sisters generally possessed powers at sixth Dragon-level. However, their lack of combat experience limited their fighting strength. As the one with the most similar appearance to them, Ai Lin beca their best teacher. They shared sa physical forms, habits, and even mories. So as soon as one learned a skill, all would imdiately master it. And when one corrected a mistake, nobody would ever make that error again. This thod of teaching was incredibly efficient, but what put Ai Lin head over heels was the fact that she couldn’t distinguish who was who.
But, there was one person who could.
Wesley.
Even without the Observation Technique, Wesley was still able to easily identify the differences between each Dandi, a feat that made him the most popular person among the Dandi sisters.
In this world, different people have different answers to what is the best catalyst for progress. So people do it for money, so for glory, and so for commitnt.
But for Wesley, it was beauty that ranked first.
Since coming to the Long Yi Legion, Wesley’s progress could only be described as unimaginable. He was excited almost every day, and his strength was increasing at an almost crazy speed. This rate of progress put great pressure on Chef and Brother Mosquito, prompting them to begin compulsive training.
"You freak! You’re not human at all! You’re usually like a chicken, how co you still have strength now?"
Just after another aerial combat training session, Chef was like a fish just pulled out of the water, while Wesley was panting hard on the side, but clearly much better off than Chef.
"That’s because I’m a long-lasting man."
Wesley cracked a smile, causing Chef to shudder.
"Oh my God, can you stop pretending? I know there are plenty of beautiful won around, as nurous as the clouds, but can you change your way of showing your charm? It’s been a long ti since I last heard your jokes. Can we return to the pure world?" Chef scread in despair.
"Impossible. Such a well-cultured man like myself, how could I do sothing that shallow?"
Wesley stood up straight, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with a deep and distant look in his eyes.
"I can’t stand it, I’m going crazy." Chef collapsed on the ground. (To be continued. If you like this book, please co to Qidian (qidian) to vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian).
