Chapter 154: Meeting the Princess!
"Listen, I don't care what your relation to him is, but remember you can never have him. He is mine and only mine! No one has the right to his beautiful body other than me! Only I deserve his love, understood?"
Saying that she turned around and left.
Lady Suying finished recounting to the best of her ability. Your journey continues with empire
"Your Highness, Isn't she your sister?" Lady Suying asked with a puzzled expression. "Why did she say those words as if she was your lover?"
Ever since Fang Lianhua left her room, this was the only thing she wondered about. She couldn't tell if there was a hidden meaning in her words that she had misunderstood or if her interpretation was correct.
Soon she noticed a frown appear on Ashen's face in response to her question.
In an attempt to appease Ashen, she hurriedly apologized: "I apologize, Your Highness. I forgot my place and kept mumbling. Please forgive me for my impertinent behavior!"
After witnessing the grandeur of the Shang Clan and Ashen's status, she understood the vast difference in power and status between Ashen and herself.
If Ashen was offended, he could simply discard her. In this unknown place, she only knew Ashen. She had to win his affection to safeguard her safety and luxury.
Even if he gave her freedom and allowed her to return to the Bi Family, she wouldn't be treated as well as she was being treated now.
Moreover, having Ashen as her backer could make her rise in status and provide better for her daughters.
She just had to please him to the best of her abilities.
However, it wasn't her question that made Ashen frown, instead, it was the pondering he was doing inside his head after hearing the princess' actions and words from Suying's mouth.
To be honest, he was surprised to know that his half-sister who was double his age had this kind of relationship with him.
Just what kind of relationship did the previous owner of this body have with his older sister?
And from the words she said, it seems she is obsessed with him, but since I have become this body's new owner, now I'd have to deal with his mess.
Moreover, from her words, she sounded dominant and almost crazy!
Wait a minute, was this body already violated by this princess before I took control?
No, that shouldn't be right, I felt the same when I lost my virginity in my previous life when I first had sex with Xiran. There was that discomfort a virgin feels when having his first time.
It seems she only loves him to the extreme and wants to have him to herself.
Sigh... I didn't expect I'd have to deal with this as soon as I returned.
It was at this moment that the frown appeared on his face and he heard Lady Suying's apology.
"Don't worry Lady Suying, it's not a big issue." He assured with a gentle smile.
Hearing that, Lady Suying let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright then, I'll take my leave now," Ashen said with a smile before a serious expression replaced the smile. "I need to talk with the Princess and ask about her actions!"
Lady Suying nodded with a bit of reluctance in her gaze as she saw Ashen leave.
Ashen calmly exited the room before clapping his hands to call for the man who had guided him to Lady Suying's room.
Soon, the man came running to attend to him.
"You called my prince?" He asked in a respectful tone while bowing.
Ashen nodded before giving his order: "Take me to the princess, I shouldn't make her wait any longer."
The subordinate nodded in understanding before taking Ashen to the Princess's chambers.
She had been accommodated in the most luxurious mansion in the Shang Clan which was reserved for the top guests.
Though Ashen had wanted to meet Shiyue and Veli to gather their experiences too, however, he thought that they would've experienced something similar.
It would be a waste of time to hear the same story over and over.
Now he at least had an idea about why the princess had behaved that way.
Ashen sensed a formation around the mansion that had been activated as soon as he stood in front of the gate of the mansion.
Soon, a powerful male voice came from inside the mansion: "Come in!"
The man accompanying Ashen opened the gate and took him inside.
Ashen didn't make a fuss about the blatant disrespect he was being shown right now. He simply followed behind the man calmly without any change in his expression.
Soon, he entered the main hall and saw the princess sitting on a couch, sipping tea calmly. The princess appeared elegant in a red side-cut dress, revealing her long beautiful legs, her right leg resting on top of the other.
Her cascading crimson hair shimmered like molten fire, adorned with an ornate golden crown that gleamed under the soft glow of lanterns. Eyes the shade of burning embers held an enigmatic allure, framed by long lashes that fluttered with a quiet intensity.
[Picture in discord]
An old man with white hair and a beard stood behind her, accompanied by a woman in dark clothing who had her face covered.
The old man was an emperor realm expert while the woman was a king realm cultivator.
The princess, however, was simply at origin-realm.
Ashen had hidden his cultivation and only appeared to be at the nascent soul realm in the eyes of others. Even the man accompanying him didn't know his real cultivation level.
Only the Elders and officials were present when he revealed his cultivation in the Shang Clan throne room. The information that Ashen was going to participate in the competition for the throne was a secret even in the Shang Clan.
In outsiders' eyes, Ashen was an unlucky prince with a 1-star spirit. Even right now, seeing him at the nascent soul realm, the old man and the princess were taken aback.
However, they didn't outrightly ask him about this sudden change, instead, they acted calm, waiting for Ashen to initiate the conversation.
"What brings you here?" Ashen asked without any form of respect in his tone.
Since they weren't showing him respect, he didn't need to respond in kind.
"YOU DARE TALK TO THE PRINCESS THAT WAY?!" The old man shouted as a powerful pressure gushed out of him, however, he maintained it to the level at which a Nascent soul realm cultivator would be brought to his knees.
