Chapter 61: Nanzhuo Qianlong's Martial Arts

Facing the attack of the Phoenix Maid, Qin Jun evaded in panic. After practicing with the spear all night, he was exhausted. As he moved, his body lost balance and he bumped into the table, narrowly avoiding the maid's sword.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Qin Jun was furious. If he had been a little slower, he might have been stabbed.

But the maid's face was still full of anger, as if she would only be satisfied by tearing Qin Jun to pieces. She was about to attack him again when he took out the Desert Eagle, ready to shoot her in the head. At that moment, the Phoenix Maid appeared between them like a phantom, lightning-fast, and caught the maid's long sword with just her index and middle fingers, displaying astonishing strength and accuracy.

Qin Jun hadn't raised his Desert Eagle yet, but as he looked into the eyes revealed under the veil of the Phoenix Maid, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

The scenes from last night involuntarily surfaced in his mind, making his heart beat faster.

Damn it! Am I starting to have feelings for her?

Qin Jun cursed inwardly and quietly put away the Desert Eagle.

"What a disgrace!" the Phoenix Maid scolded the maid in a soft voice, making her feel so wronged that she was on the verge of tears. She pointed at Qin Jun and said in a trembling voice, "He tried to do something inappropriate last night. This kind of scum must be killed!"

The hostility was so strong!

The innkeeper and the servants couldn't help but frown and look at Qin Jun strangely. Did he do something crazy to this mysterious girl last night?

"Nonsense! I accidentally fell, and I didn't do anything, I didn't see anything!" Qin Jun argued firmly. "You can call me a murderer, but you can't call me a scoundrel! I haven't even held a girl's hand!"

In this life and the previous one, he hadn't just held a girl's hand, he had done much more!

Lying without blushing is a basic skill for living in society, not for walking the rivers and lakes!

The Phoenix Maid was speechless. Her eyes seemed to be filled with resentment and confusion as she looked at Qin Jun, making him feel uneasy. She calmly asked, "How could a prince like you, with such a beautiful woman by your side, have never even held her hand?"

The people around them were getting tired of this. It felt like a quarrel between a married couple.

"I'm a prince, and I should be busy with state affairs. Don't think too much about it!" Qin Jun coughed and said.

"I don't believe it!" the Phoenix Maid's maid didn't give Qin Jun any face, making him want to strangle her.

"Alright, I'm going to rest in my room. Miss Phoenix, please control your maid and maintain the master-servant relationship." Qin Jun waved his hand and said, then he walked towards the stairs, followed closely by the Hellhound. As he watched the figure of the man and the dog going upstairs, the Phoenix Maid's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. She could tell that Qin Jun was exhausted, as if he had just been through a great battle.

Most importantly, when the maid attacked Qin Jun just now, she felt a terrifying killing intent emanating from the Hellhound.

"That black dog is not simple. Otherwise, how could a prince carry it with him at all times?" the Phoenix Maid thought to herself. The maid quieted down after she gestured for her to stop.

At that moment, the innkeeper came over and asked, "Miss, do you need anything this morning?"

"No, you can take your time." The Phoenix Maid shook her head and walked leisurely towards the inn's entrance, followed closely by her maid.

"That girl's speed just now doesn't seem like the Foundation Building Realm. Could she be in the Golden Core Realm... It's impossible... She's so young..." The innkeeper muttered to himself, then dismissed the thought and returned to the counter to continue his work.

On the other side, after Qin Jun and the Hellhound entered the room, the Hellhound said, "That Miss Phoenix has the cultivation of the Golden Core Realm."

"Just the Golden Core Realm..." the exhausted Qin Jun waved his hand. The next moment, his expression froze, and he asked incredulously, "What? Golden Core Realm? She looks only a few years older than me?"

Zhuo Junjie was already in his thirties and was the number one genius of the Qianyue Kingdom, but he was still stuck at the peak of the Foundation Building Realm.

Could it be that the Phoenix Maid was a legendary figure like the Fairy of the Heavenly Mountains?

Thinking like this, Qin Jun couldn't help but shudder.

"People are extraordinary. The Qianyue Kingdom is just too small." The Hellhound said matter-of-factly.

"Alright, I'm going to rest. If Daji and the others come looking for me, help me deal with them." Qin Jun said and then threw himself onto the bed.

As for the large hole in the floor, it had already been repaired by the inn, showing the efficiency of the Luoya Inn.

...

Yuwang Palace.

Qin Yu lay pale on the bed, with Bloodblade King and a black-clothed man wearing a bamboo hat standing beside him.

"Did your assassins succeed?" Qin Yu asked tremblingly. His anger last night had caused his spiritual power to go haywire, injuring his meridians. It would take at least a week to recover.

"No news yet," the black-clothed man said in a deep voice. The black veil of his bamboo hat covered his face, and his breath was very weak, as if he were a shadow in the room.

Bloodblade King couldn't help but snort, "Anxiao, it seems that your assassins aren't that great either."

"Heh, the other party is the Third Prince, with a super powerhouse like Guan Yu protecting him. If you're so capable, why don't you go?" Anxiao, the black-clothed man, retorted, leaving Bloodblade King with nothing to say.

Just thinking about the imposing figure of Guan Yu made him feel terrified, let alone fighting him.

Qin Yu gritted his teeth. Without returning for a night, it was clear that the mission had failed. He could almost see Qin Jun smirking at him.

"I suggest Your Highness not to confront him for the time being," Anxiao suddenly advised.

Qin Yu couldn't help but frown and look at him, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes. An Xiao remained calm in response, "The Third Prince has just achieved great success. It's not wise to oppose him now. Your Highness, don't forget, the Emperor intends to assign Guan Yu to the Yuguan City. Without Guan Yu's protection, it will be easy for the Third Prince to deal with you."

An Xiao is backed by a mysterious assassin organization. Although he works for Qin Yu, he is not willing to sacrifice his life. Having lost one of his subordinates, he doesn't want to lose another.

"Good point!" Qin Yu's eyes lit up, gritting his teeth, "Qin Jun! I'll let you live a few more days!"

The Blood Blade King also breathed a sigh of relief. If Qin Yu remained stubborn, he might have dragged his Blood Blade organization into trouble.

He quickly changed the subject, "In a month, there will be the Southern Zhuo Qianlong Martial Arts Competition. As the strongest prince in the royal family, Your Highness must prepare well. This is a matter of bringing glory to the country!"

The Southern Zhuo Qianlong Martial Arts Competition!

Qin Yu's eyes lit up, exclaiming, "Right, how could I forget about this? The Southern Zhuo Qianlong Martial Arts Competition is hosted by the Southern Zhuo Dynasty. It is said that the top one hundred participants can join the seven major sects of the dynasty."

The Southern Zhuo Dynasty!

A hint of longing appeared on the Blood Blade King's face. The dynasty is a superior existence, even the joint forces of the Qianyue Kingdom and the Canglan Kingdom are no match for the Southern Zhuo Dynasty.

It is said that the dynasty's territory is so vast that it is difficult to imagine, and the Qianyue Kingdom is just like a prefecture within the dynasty.
