Chapter 55 - A Haughty Idiots Stupidity (1/2)

”Hahahaha, my imperial sister, you're here indeed. Your imperial brother has come to see you. Quick, look. See who I've brought you from the palace.”

Hearing this voice, Cang Yue's face took on an expression of disgust and anger, but just as quickly as it came, she smoothened out her facial expression to a neutral one before turning around and gazing upon the source of the voice. And there he was, Third Prince Cang Shuo with another person standing right next to him.

”Third Imperial Brother, Young Master Fen, long time no see.” Said Cang Yue in an emotionless tone to her brother the Third Prince and the Young Master of the Burning Heaven Clan, Fen Juecheng. The Third Prince was around 27 or 28 years old and Fen Jeucheng himself was younger, at around 22 to 23 years old. Yet he carried himself like he was the most grandiose person in existence, exuding an aura of arrogance that looked down on everyone around him that he hid behind a façade of benevolence.

Coming forward, Fen Juecheng bowed slightly, in his eyes an adoration for Cang Yue that had long since become an obsession that he didn't even bother to hide, as he spoke to Cang Yue: ”Fen Juecheng of the Burning Heaven Clan pays his respects to the beautiful and elegant Princess Cang Yue. I'd heard that Your Highness had returned to the palace nine months ago, but during this period of time, Juecheng has been continually training within the Fierce Sunfire Region, and had only been released two days ago. I hope Your Highness will not blame me.”

”Hahahaha,” Cang Shuo laughed, ”The moment Young Master Fen comes out, he eagerly travels day and night just to rush to meet my imperial sister. This great relationship is really touching and makes one envious.” Said Cang Shuo like a true brownnoser.

Cang Yue smiled lightly, and said: ”I thank Young Master Fen for your kindness. All is well with me. Young Master Fen need not worry.”

Fen Juecheng also smiled faintly, and said in a gentle and straightforward manner: ”I've heard that Your Highness has been continuously training very diligently. I was worried about you, and I also deeply respect that. Although I wished to see Your Highness a few more times even in my dreams, I thought it would frighten Your Highness so I've always been suppressing it in my heart. Now that I've finally seen Your Highness, I am unbelievably happy. In these two years, Your Highness has become even more beautiful and elegant that the legendary goddesses turned mortal cannot even compare. From my point of view, Your Highness' beauty is Blue Wind Imperial Family, no, the entire Blue Wind Empire's treasure blessed by the heavens themselves.”

(A.N.: BLLLLAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!! ???????????? That is my reaction just reading and writing down the words of this arrogant squalid f.u.c.k. Who's with me?)

As he spoke, Fen Juecheng's adoration and infatuation was revealed completely, he didn't even bother masking it in the slightest. Yet Princess Cang Yue didn't react to all of it at all, whether positively or negatively. She just gave him a polite smile and said: ”Young Master Fen is mistaken; I am not worthy of such compliments.”

”I thank Young Master Fen for his compliments in place of my imperial sister. I also believe that what you said about my imperial sister being our Imperial Family's treasure is true.” Cang Shuo said with a beaming smile. His eyes lit up as they turned and hinted at the attendant behind him. The attendant immediately understood, stepped forward away and pretended to whisper in his ear.

”Oh?” Cang Shuo's said in fake shock and then said apologetically to Fen Juecheng: ”Young Master Fen, I suddenly remembered something that I must take care of immediately, so you'll have to excuse me… Imperial sister, Young Master Fen hasn't visited the Imperial Palace for quite a while, why don't you accompany Young Master Fen on a walk through the palace.”

”Please forgive me but I must refuse your offer. Father has requested my presence to discuss important matters. I do not wish to go against Father's orders so I must go immediately. I hope imperial Brother and Young Master Fen do not take offense. Excuse me.” Said Cang Yue, immediately declining Fen Juecheng the opportunity to spend time with her alone. Giving Third Prince Cang Shuo and Fen Juecheng a light nod, she starts walking right out of the Moon Embracing Palace.

Cang Shuo frowned yet Juecheng only smiled calmly. As soon as Cang Yue left his side, he suddenly turned around. ”Your Highness, when I came to the Imperial Palace, I heard that Your Highness seems to have been searching for a strange flower called the 'Burning Soul Flower'. I wonder if Your Highness has found this flower yet? If it has not been found yet, I just happen to know where to find a Burning Soul Flower.”

Not only did Fen Juecheng's presence disturb Cang Yue's training, it also made her completely uncomfortable and she wanted to leave as soon as possible. But Fen Juecheng's words caused her to stop in her tracks. She turned around and spoke in a calm voice: ”Is Young Master Fen serious? I have indeed been looking for the Burning Soul Flower. If Young Master Fen knows where to find it and is generous enough to tell me, I would be forever grateful.”

Fen Juecheng smiled: ”Naturally, I will not refuse Princess Cang Yue's request. I know that this Burning Soul Flower just happens to be in our Burning Heaven Clan's training grounds —— within the Fierce Sunsky Region.”

Cang Yue's immediately felt the excitement surge into her but managed to suppress it: ”Then that's just wonderful. May I ask if your honorable clan can give our Imperial Family this Burning Soul Flower? No matter the price or conditions.”

Fen Juecheng narrowed his eyes he looked over Cang Yue's body like a predator and said: ”Unfortunately, I do not have a say in this matter. In the Fierce Sunsky Region, only one Burning Soul Flower matures once in a millennium. The entire clan all regards it as their most valuable treasure. It is absolutely impossible for it to be given to another, but…”
