Chapter 166 This thing is destined for me
Translator: 549690339
“Another Divine Power cultivator!”
Gu Yang felt some emotion, Divine City was truly unique. In other places, meeting a Divine Power cultivator would be hard. Now, he had not even entered Divine City, yet he had already encountered two Divine Power cultivators.
Regardless of whether it was Lai Baocheng encountered earlier or this woman, their cultivation levels were far beyond that of Lin Yimo from the Lin Family.
This palace?
Hearing the self-designation of the woman, Gu Yang could not help but furrow his brows.
Near Divine City, a woman bold enough to use such a title must definitely come from the royal palace.
Finally unable to sit still, he rose, pushed the door open, and looked up, only to see a woman dressed in palace attire levitating in the air. Under the moonlight, she appeared as ethereal as a fairy.
The palace-dressed woman was clad in an innate aura of nobility, somewhat similar to Princess Zhao Yu, yet with a character completely different, more mature, more composed, and each move she made radiated killing intent.
“Gu Yang pays his respects to Princess Chang.”
He performed a bow.
This person was indeed Princess Chang, the Emperor’s own sister, Princess Zhao Yu’s aunt, the owner of the Long Autumn Palace, and the only woman above the imperial court who could match the Empress in influence.
“You’re even younger than I imagined. Outsiders all say you’re a Saint’s disciple, are you?”
So direct, huh?
Gu Yang didn’t expect Princess Chang to be so blunt, directly asking about other people’s secrets. He responded, “As long as Your Highness believes I am, then I am.”
“Crafty one.”
Princess Chang stretched out her slender finger and tapped his forehead.
Gu Yang did not dodge, nor did he activate his True Qi to resist. He allowed her finger to tap his forehead, calmly meeting her gaze.
Of course he could be calm. He had just undergone a simulation. It did not mention Princess Chang attacking him, so he knew there was no danger.
A trace of surprise flashed through Princess Chang’s eyes, and the corner of her mouth twitched into a smile. “You’re pretty bold, aren’t you afraid I could pierce your brain with one finger?”
Gu Yang countered, “Would Your Highness do that?”
The smile on Princess Chang’s face deepened, “You’re really interesting, come with me. You can state your terms.”
“Any terms?”
Gu Yang spoke somewhat defiantly. He had a rough idea of Princess Chang’s character and guessed she would fall for this.
“Hahaha…”
Princess Chang suddenly burst into hearty laughter. She seemed uninhibited, which coming from her status, could be considered improper. However, it added a touch of charm to her.
“There are many men who want to serve in my court, but you’re the first one to say it in front of me.”
That’s not what I meant!
Upon hearing her words, Gu Yang was filled with question marks.
Should he say her self-perception is too good, or did his previous sentence create this misunderstanding?
It couldn’t be.
Wasn’t that just normal bargaining?
“Too bad, you’re too weak. Want to be my man? You at least have to reach the Mana Realm. Wait till you’ve become the Sword God, then you can come find me.”
Gu Yang planned to clarify, but seeing the smile on her face, he swallowed his explanation.
At this moment, if he said he didn’t mean it like that, he suspected she would become furiously embarrassed and kill him on the spot.
After saying this, Princess Chang flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, she returned to the bank, looked back, smiled at him, and slipped back into her carriage.
“What should I say, are the women in this world too naive?”
Gu Yang sighed inwardly, creating such a misunderstanding made him feel the need to rethink his approach.
In the end, this place was similar to Earth’s ancient times, conservative in nature and filled with feudal etiquette. Even female warriors in this world would have a hard time escaping the influence of these values.
He suddenly realized, Su Qingzhen, Ling Ling, Xu Ruomei, Chu Xiyue, Pei Qianlan, were they just like that? From his casual actions, had he given them the wrong hint, leading them to mistakenly believe he was interested in them…
With this, everything that he was puzzled about before suddenly made sense.
