Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao-Chapter 4673: Imperial Sea Prince?
Chapter 4673: Imperial Sea Prince?
Editor: Henyee Translations
It couldn’t be helped. Rapid advancement of cultivation level would always be looked down on, and one of the reasons was naturally jealousy.
Oh, I have worked so hard to cultivate to this cultivation level, and you have easily caught up to me?
How could they not be envious, jealous, and hateful?
Ling Han naturally wouldn’t care. He only hoped that the competition would begin soon. After winning this time, he would be able to enter into the final battle between the Sacred Land and begin the final battle with the other contestants from the other nine Royal Capitals.
If he took another step further, he would be very, very close to the Pond of Life.
He didn’t step out of the Martial Hall, simply staying inside and counting down the days.
A few days later, he suddenly discovered a commotion in the courtyard.
—Every team that had come from an A-grade city had been arranged to stay in an independent courtyard. Logically speaking, it should be very quiet.
Ling Han exited, only to see a handsome young man in embroidered robes standing in the courtyard. He had a dignified air about him, and it was as if he had enjoyed a high position for a long time.
Yi?
His eyes narrowed slightly, then revealed a smile.
"You’ve seen me, hurry up and pay your respects!" This young man in embroidered robes was currently shouting at the masses, and after hearing the commotion, more and more people came out. When they saw this young man, they were all slightly stunned.
Who was this? How could he be so arrogant?
If this were their own territory, they would definitely have rushed out and slapped the other party long ago, but now, they did not dare to make any rash moves.
"Who are you?" someone asked.
"You guys don’t even know who I am?" the young man in embroidered robes asked in a very arrogant manner.
Er, they really didn’t know.
These people had just arrived, and there were even some that had come to participate in the competition three years ago. However, they had come and gone in a hurry, so how could they possibly have any knowledge?
Everyone shook their heads. They were also curious. Who exactly was this person?
"I am Huangfu Cong, the fifteenth son of the Imperial Sea King!" This young man in fine clothes declared proudly.
Imperial Sea King!
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.
This was the ruler of the Imperial Sea Royal Capital, and furthermore, belonged to the higher ranks of the Buddhist Race. Just how high and mighty was he?
His son... would naturally be able to do as he liked in the Royal Capital.
"Yi, there is finally someone who is slightly more beautiful." Huangfu Cong stared at a woman that had just arrived. This was one of the five "older" disciples that had been selected by the Heavenly Prosperity Martial Hall, and was also the only woman in the team.
She was indeed quite good-looking, because there were less women among the cultivators, and beauties were even rarer. Thus, she was also very popular in the team, and was always surrounded by others.
It was also because of this that many people looked furious upon seeing her being teased by Huangfu Cong.
However, no one dared to say anything, let alone step forward to stop him.
—As the son of the Imperial Sea King, who would dare stop him?
Huangfu Cong walked towards the woman, and stretched out a hand to touch her face.
The woman instinctively took a step back, dodging this groping hand.
If this Huangfu Cong had fallen in love with her at first sight, then she would definitely not mind marrying into a noble clan. However, this person was obviously a playboy at first glance, so she was naturally unwilling to be reduced to a plaything.
When he saw the woman move aside, Huangfu Cong immediately looked displeased, "This young master thinks highly of you, so don’t be so ungrateful!"
These words caused the woman to feel humiliated and furious. Being toyed with, did she still have to feel honored?
She looked at her teammates around her, but these people either lowered their eyes and pretended not to see it, or only dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.
She couldn’t help but feel hopeless.
"Your skin is so soft, let me touch it." Huangfu Cong stretched out his hand again, to touch the beautiful face of the woman.
This time, the woman accepted her fate and didn’t dodge.
Pa!
Huangfu Cong’s hand had not even landed on the woman’s face, when it was firmly grabbed by a large hand.
Yi?
It was Ling Han!
Everyone could clearly see that Ling Han had arrived at the woman’s side at some point in time and grabbed onto Huangfu Cong’s wrist.
This guy... how dare he!
You dare to interfere in the business of the Imperial Sea King’s son?
Huangfu Cong looked furious, "You despicable person, you actually dare touch me?"
Ling Han cracked a smile, "What kind of person you are, you yourself should know very well."
Huangfu Cong’s expression involuntarily changed drastically, and he looked suspicious.
Yi, could it be that this person could see through to his real self?
"This is my last warning, let go immediately!" he said harshly.
"Zhang Hanjun, hurry up and let go!" His teammates hurriedly rebuked. What if they angered Huangfu Cong, or even in fact injured this royal prince? Would it be the elites of the Royal Capital that would move out next, capturing all of them?
At that time, to say nothing of not being able to participate in the second round of advancement battles, they might even lose their lives.
"Don’t drag others down with you!"
"Don’t hurt Young Master Huangfu!"
They said one after another, and even that woman looked at Ling Han like he was being too nosy.
Did he think that he was the savior of the world? If he stubbornly stepped out, not only would he not be able to save her, he would even push her into an even deeper dilemma!
"Did you hear that?" Huangfu Cong said proudly.
Ling Han shook his head, and said, "Before you guys cower, why didn’t you confirm his identity first?"
’What do you mean?’
"He said he’s the son of the Imperial Sea King, and you guys believe him?" Ling Han asked with a smile.
Yi?
With this reminder, the others all looked doubtful.
That’s right. Huangfu Cong’s identity was only his own declaration, so who would know if it was true or false?
Huangfu Cong’s expression also changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "I am naturally the son of the Imperial Sea King. You lowly commoners actually dare to doubt my identity?"
Ling Han slightly exerted force with his fingers, and Huangfu Cong immediately screamed in pain, tears streaming down his face.
"Come, tell me your identity obediently," Ling Han said with a smile.
"You lowly commoners are dead if you dare to harm a single hair on my head!" Huangfu Cong shouted. His mouth was quite stubborn.
No one dared to confirm it, because Huangfu Cong seemed to be very confident.
"Zhang Hanjun, let go of him first. We’ll see after we’ve investigated thoroughly."
"That’s right, let go first."
They all advised. If Huangfu Cong was really injured, and this person was really the son of the Imperial Sea King, then the matter would become serious.
Ling Han ignored them. How could he possibly care about the words of these people?
"This Young Master, why don’t you let go first?" At this moment, a woman’s voice rang out, gentle and melodious.
Everyone looked over, only to see a woman in white standing at the entrance. She was clearly dressed in an extremely plain white dress, and she wasn’t wearing any makeup at all. However, she radiated with an aura of elegance and beauty.
What a beautiful woman in an empty valley1. She was too beautiful.
In comparison, that first woman was practically a village girl, without any bearing at all.
"Why?" Ling Han asked.
This caused everyone to glare angrily at him. How could he refuse such a beautiful woman?
The woman in white smiled faintly, yet it was as if 100 flowers had bloomed at the same time. Her beauty was indescribable, and everyone was captivated by her beauty, unable to extricate themselves.
"It’s indeed Xiaoyun’s fault this time. I’ll apologize on his behalf." She curtsied slightly and bowed to everyone.
This caused everyone to be at a loss for what to do. They only felt as if they had made a colossal mistake, and had greatly offended the beauty.
’Beautiful woman in an empty valley’ is a literal translation of 空谷佳人, which is a phrase used to praise the orchid flower. Throughout history, Chinese people have viewed the orchid as a symbol of elegance and nobility.
