Chapter 123 Yelü Hui's Confidence

The woman selling tofu collapsed miserably on the ground, tears spinning uncontrollably in her eyes.

Now that her stall had been overturned, the tofu wrapped in white cloth had all fallen to the ground, covered in dust, and was clearly ruined.

The state of the tofu seemed to foreshadow her own tragic fate ahead.

She knew she probably couldn't escape and couldn't help but feel despair in her heart.

Commoners do not fight with officials, but how... how can a commoner even fight an official?

Third Prince Yelü Hui gave a cold sneer.

He stepped on a piece of intact tofu that was still steaming slightly, grinding it ruthlessly under his sole until it was completely reduced to dregs.

“What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen an Immortal Master bullying people? Everyone, get lost!”

An old guard beside him cooperatively released a hint of pressure from his Realm as a Cultivator at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

Seeing that the bully's clothing was quite extraordinary, suggesting he was a high-ranking official or noble.

The onlookers, unwilling to invite trouble, were already hesitant and whispering among themselves.

Upon hearing the title 'Immortal Master' and sensing that terrifying, suffocating aura, they were instantly frightened into retreating several steps and fled the scene in a panic.

After easily driving away the crowd, Third Prince Yelü Hui felt extremely satisfied.

He loved seeing the aggrieved expressions on others' faces—those who were furious but dared not speak, only able to slink away in defeat.

To him, status and strength were powers meant to be flaunted constantly!

And the power of being superior to others was the most intoxicating of all!

However, when he noticed two carriages stopped not far away, and especially that one coachman still standing there motionless, he suddenly felt a bit displeased.

“You old geezer driving that broken carriage, are you not afraid of death? Or do you want to stick your nose into this Prince's private business?”

The 'old geezer' Third Prince Yelü Hui spoke of was none other than Elder Ling, who possessed an Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Public order was relatively good after entering the capital, so there was no need to intimidate petty thugs by flying on a sword; thus, he had temporarily become the coachman for Mu An and the others.

He didn't feel his status was being lowered; being a coachman for a Senior of such formidable strength was a coveted job that many would fight tooth and nail for.

He hadn't expected that someone would actually take him for an ordinary coachman and even have the audacity to call him an 'old geezer'.

Elder Ling gave a cold snort.

It was only because he was older now and had experienced many of 'society's beatings'.

Furthermore, his current identity was highly tied to the Imperial Dynasty, so he had reservations and could no longer strike out at will.

Had he been in his hot-blooded youth, he would have certainly stepped forward to trade blows with the man.

Just as he was preparing to pull the carriage away, Renée, inside the carriage, had no such reservations and directly shouted out in anger.

“This is outrageous!”

“In broad daylight, someone is actually trying to kidnap a woman. Is there no law? Is there no humanity?”

A crisp and pleasant female voice drifted out from the carriage.

And the slightly lifted corner of the carriage curtain made Third Prince Yelü Hui's eyes light up.

If he wasn't mistaken, there seemed to be several young women of exceptional beauty inside, instantly igniting his lust.

In comparison, that Tofu Beauty now seemed inferior; looking at her again, he felt she was rather bland.

“Looking at those clothes, he doesn't seem like a scion of a noble family from the capital, but more like he's dressed in the style of the Khitan Kingdom.”

As Xiao Qingzhu analyzed, her face also showed a hint of suppressed anger.

Encountering such a disgusting matter just after arriving in the capital made her feel like she had lost face.

Meanwhile, Mu An obtained the basic information of the opponent from his Enemy Detection Radar.

Yelü Hui

Realm: Qi Refining Stage 5

Basic Information: Third Prince of the Khitan Kingdom, eighteen years old, first-class cultivation talent.

He followed a diplomatic mission to the Tianyuan Dynasty to gain experience, intending to marry an imperial princess to showcase the strength of the Khitan Kingdom.

Arrogant by nature, he enjoys bullying the weak.

He has been obsessed with a life of debauchery since childhood and often finds pleasure in torturing women; he has over a hundred lives on his hands.

——————

Qi Refining Stage 5?

Mu An's eyebrows rose slightly.

In this era where Spiritual Qi is depleted and cultivation resources are scarce, it was indeed rare for the opponent to reach Qi Refining Stage 5 at such an age.

He could indeed be called a 'Genius'.

But being a Genius depends on who you're being compared to. A Daughter of Destiny like Beggar could reach the Ninth Level of Qi Refining from scratch with just a random Epiphany.

She would absolutely crush this Yelü Hui by several blocks!

“Why don't the young ladies in the carriage come down and join this Prince for a gathering?”

Third Prince Yelü Hui gave a very flirtatious whistle.

Even though this was the capital, the very heart of the empire, as the Third Prince of the Khitan Kingdom who had traveled from afar, he feared no one.

He had oppressed commoners and beaten the Disciples of princes and nobles.

He acted tyrannically and was incredibly arrogant, yet he had remained unscathed until now.

First, he had confidence in himself and his guards; second, hundreds of thousands of troops were still facing off on the front lines of the two countries, and a major war could break out at any moment.

In recent years, the Khitan Kingdom had continuously captured cities and seized territory, being invincible and causing the Tianyuan Dynasty to retreat repeatedly.

The Khitan Kingdom had sent this diplomatic mission precisely to use the excuse of a political marriage to extract more lucrative ceasefire conditions.

In other words, as long as the Emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty wasn't a fool, he would never dare to touch him lightly.

Otherwise, if the Khitan army pressed forward again, it would surely cause countless casualties among Tianyuan soldiers and civilians.

Going a step further, they might even fight their way into the heart of the capital, threatening the Mandate of Heaven!

“I'm so angry! I have to go down and give him a beating!”

Renée was filled with righteous indignation, rolling up her sleeves as she prepared to get off the carriage and perform a heroic deed.

Mu An stopped her and said,

“When girls are away from home, they shouldn't show their faces easily. The prettier a girl is, the more this applies, as it easily triggers unnecessary disputes.”

“To put it plainly... I don't want some dog barking outside to accidentally offend your eyes.”

“So, I'll go handle it alone.”

Although Xiao Qingzhu knew what consequences this action might bring, she didn't stop Mu An, but instead silently handed over some silver pieces.

About forty or fifty taels, not much.

It made sense; that bullied woman had no one to rely on. If she suddenly received a windfall, she would inevitably be targeted by scoundrels.

Losing the money would be a small matter then; the real fear was that she might lose her life because of it.

Mu An understood her intent, and after taking the silver pieces, he stepped out from behind the carriage curtain.

On the other side.

Third Prince Yelü Hui was walking toward the carriage with a lecherous look, rubbing his chubby hands together as he went.

He seemed unable to wait to bully the young ladies hiding inside.

Unexpectedly, under his gaze, an extremely handsome man suddenly emerged from the carriage.

Third Prince Yelü Hui's expression instantly froze.

Soon, emotions of envy and jealousy filled his mind.

[A man? There's actually a man inside? Could they all be his family members?]

[Embracing beauties on both sides, enjoying their service... I'm so envious!]

[However... these women will soon become this Prince's private property!]

Third Prince Yelü Hui gave a contemptuous smile, his heart full of confidence.

He was an envoy of the Khitan Kingdom who had come from afar, the Third Prince of the Khitan Kingdom, and an Immortal Master with a cultivation at Qi Refining Stage 5.

His status was lofty, and his identity was incredibly noble.

Forget about some girls he met randomly on the road; he would even dare to contend for the Emperor's women!
