Sitting lazily atop an embroiled couch was a sapphire-haired beauty, servants around her fanned her from various angles, keeping her cup of wine filled, and her plate had various arrangents of fresh fruit. Her eyes were filled with deep boredom, looking about in daydreams and nonsensical thoughts. This beautiful woman was the one that Yan Zaizen had mistakenly barged into, his eyes having stained her body, and his current sentence within the Deep Mines was her judgnt.
The room she was in was filled with a white and blue imperial decor with traces of gold designs giving it a very wealthy feel. A young man entered, kneeling on the floor, escorting that man was the one who Yan Zaizen would rember from before. He was the middle-aged Origin Core Realm Cultivator who interrogated him.
Their arrival didn’t seem to catch the girl’s interest. She only glanced at them slightly before picking a grape and placing it in her mouth. The young man who kneeled rose slowly and approached with quiet and cautious steps. When he arrived, he spoke clearly. "Lady Di, I have the report on the one nad ’Yan Zaizen."
This, however, didn’t seem to catch the woman’s attention either. She only let loose a soft snort, her mood obviously turning worse. This man was the one who intruded in her bath, saw her body, and still got away with it so easily. If it wasn’t because the circumstance was special, she would have had his eyes gouged, castrated, and burnt to death.
The young male didn’t seem to feel dejected by her lack of attention and he proceeded, "He’s a citizen of Presba, a mber of the Yan Clan which is located at a place called teorite City. It is a second-tier force within the country and doesn’t possess much significance amongst the myriad forces of Presba. Even amongst second-tier forces, they were quite middle-tier." The man listed off information about Yan Zaizen’s origins. However, this only caused the woman to continue eating her grapes calmly.
The middle-aged man couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly. The boy was unjustly sentenced to his fate because of others sches. He survived, but then was given a death sentence soon afterward. His enemies must be feeling relieved.
The young man then proceeded to inform her about Yan Zaizen. "He’s seventeen this year, and in his clan, he’s regarded as a talentless individual, despite being the Clan Lord’s grandson. About a year ago, he went missing randomly. Many amongst the clan believe him dead, others believe he ran away in disgrace, and barely anyone is showing any form of grief on this matter. They didn’t even search more than three days for him." If Yan Zaizen heard this, he wouldn’t be surprised but still feel disappointed in his family.
"Hmph." Lady Di snorted, she looked towards the middle-aged man with an expression of ’I-told-you-so.’ The middle-aged man couldn’t help but lightly shake his head with a little embarrassnt. Earlier, he tried getting her to save Yan Zaizen from the Deep Mines, but she refused. He finally convinced her to agree if he had so powerful force that would exchange resources for him.
He evidently didn’t.
"Is that all?" Lady Di lazily said. The young man shook his head, indicating he had no more information. In truth, they devoted almost a half a year to gather this information because of the sheer distance. The young man felt it was a waste of resources to do so much for a nobody.
Lady Di waved her hand in casual dismissal. The young man took his leave after a deep bow. The middle-aged man stepped up, "I apologize, it seems my worries were unfounded."
She shook her head slightly, "Elder Lu, Your heart is just too kind." She didn’t truly have any intention of letting Yan Zaizen out. If he did have a trendous force, she’d simply make sure he was killed. But since he didn’t, he could die slowly in the Deep Mines.
Elder Lu couldn’t help but warily smiled. It seems that no matter what, this man was fated to die. If only he didn’t et this woman of lofty status. He couldn’t help but take a look at this Lady Di. She was extraordinarily beautiful and was the daughter to the Military Commander of the entire Imperial force. If it wasn’t for that fact, her lackluster mindset towards cultivation would’ve landed her in so man’s bed as a wife or a concubine.
However, she hit the lottery with her birth.
Lady Di contemplated sothings for a bit before her eyes lit up and looked towards Elder Lu, "Has Prince Ren arrived?" She seed to be showing excitent for the first ti since Elder Lu arrived.
Elder Lu helplessly smiled and nodded, "He arrived yesterday, and rested for the day. He should be in his room at the mont."
Prince Ren was the third prince to the Grux’s Imperial Emperor. His third son, and despite his age already nearing three hundred years, he had yet to take a wife. He had extraordinary good-looks, imperial grace, intelligent in both battle and strategy, incredible cultivation talent that allowed him to comprehend a lower-tier World Law, but a World Law nevertheless. The number of people who could comprehend a single world law in the entirety of Presba was about ninety thousand people per nine billion. This was an extraordinarily low number.
Many won were attempting to gain his attention, not just for status, but for a good husband with infinite potential. Out of the many cultivators in Grux, in the last ten thousand years, he was the one given the most hope of progressing to the True Essence Realm. There were even hopes of being declared the next Emperor of Grux.
"Great! I’ll go et him." Her voice was uppity, and she rose from the couch rather quickly. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and her steps were spry. She took her exit and behind her were several of her trusted servants.
Elder Lu looked onwards but couldn’t help but inwardly shake his head. He had a little understanding of Prince Ren’s personality and he would likely only pick soone with exceptional cultivation talent or who he truly fancied. As for Lady Di, she didn’t reach either requirent. For the last hundred years, she’s been riding on his coattails in hopes of capturing his attention.
He couldn’t help but look out an open window. His thoughts rembered that naked figure whose life was innocent, but he was still given a guilty sentence. "Five Hundred Years...sigh..." He rembered when he was younger, and how he was given sothing similar. If it wasn’t for the Military Commander back then, he would’ve suffered a similar fate.
He silently disappeared, following Lady Di amidst the shadows.
