Chapter 69: The Black Dog of Price Reduction

"Flirtatious?"

Zhong Ling stared at Chang Qianqian with a strange expression on her face. Ever since spending time with Qin Jun, this girl always spouted some strange words.

"It means the most outstanding person is definitely Qin Jun!" Chang Qianqian explained. She could only say that a girl in love is blind. Since realizing she liked Qin Jun, her admiration for him had swelled to the extreme. Even though she had been rejected by Qin Jun once, she still held hope.

Girls of this age are always impulsive when it comes to love, especially Chang Qianqian, who had been pampered since childhood.

Although Qin Jun had expressed his feelings last time, he hadn't made it clear. Chang Qianqian believed she still had a chance.

Zhong Ling couldn't help but be speechless. She didn't know what Qin Jun had said to Chang Qianqian to make her trust him so much.

At this moment, Zhuo Junjie and Lu Xuanfeng also finished their verbal sparring and entered the Yuewang Palace with their disciples. As soon as they entered, they saw a black dog lying in front of the gate, which turned out to be Xiao Tianquan. Qin Jun didn't want any unskilled people to enter and freeload, so he had Xiao Tianquan guard the gate. If they encountered such people, Xiao Tianquan would directly drive them out.

Fortunately, so far, no one dared to take advantage, because once discovered, it would be a serious offense.

"Wow! Xiao Tianquan, long time no see!" Chang Qianqian exclaimed excitedly when she saw Xiao Tianquan. Zhuo Junjie and others also recognized this black dog as the one that had accompanied Qin Jun. They didn't expect Qin Jun to value it so much and bring it into the Yuewang Palace.

Bringing a demon king into the capital would definitely cause panic.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the dignified Yuewang to keep such a black dog. How demeaning," Lu Xuanfeng shook his head and smiled. Xiao Tianquan's appearance was no different from the stray dogs in the streets, but upon closer observation, one would find that Xiao Tianquan's eyes were bright and full of spirituality.

Chang Qianqian's mouth twitched, and Chang Hao, who was standing behind Zhong Ling, couldn't help but mourn for Lu Xuanfeng. "My goodness, this is a demon king, and you dare to mock it like this. You're asking for trouble!"

Zhuo Junjie and others had also heard Chang Qianqian and others talk about Xiao Tianquan's extraordinary nature. At this moment, they all looked at Lu Xuanfeng with a mixture of pity, sympathy, and mockery, making Lu Xuanfeng feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Did I say something wrong?" Lu Xuanfeng's heart tightened. He subconsciously looked at Xiao Tianquan, who was glaring at him with bared teeth, his eyes full of killing intent. This made Lu Xuanfeng's spine tingle, and for a moment, he felt an endless wave of killing intent about to engulf him.

With a thud, the senior disciple of the Purple Light Sect actually knelt down, disregarding his image. He was covered in cold sweat, looking extremely frightened, which puzzled all the other cultivators except for the disciples of the Xuanling Sect.

"What's wrong with Lu Xuanfeng? Is he paying homage to the Yuewang?"

"He must be sick!"

"Tsk tsk, everyone knows that Lu Xuanfeng is good friends with the Fifth Prince, and now he's kneeling in the Yuewang Palace, which is a slap in the face to the Fifth Prince."

"Hmph, the Fifth Prince only knows some political tricks. If he becomes the emperor, the Qianyue Kingdom will surely perish!"

"That's right. In comparison, the achievements of the Yuewang are much greater. It is said that he once eradicated a tyrannical family in Qingtan City."

The cultivators were discussing fervently, quickly shifting from puzzlement about Lu Xuanfeng's behavior to praising Qin Jun.

The confrontation between the two countries had made Qin Jun and Guan Yu's names known throughout the country. In addition, the news of Qin Jun's defeat of Xiahou En and the Cheng family had been exposed by someone with ulterior motives. Now, his reputation among the princes was unparalleled.

Xiao Tianquan quickly withdrew its killing intent. Although it could easily kill Lu Xuanfeng, it didn't even fear the entire Purple Light Sect. But now, it served Qin Jun and had to consider his interests.

"Let's go!" Zhuo Junjie glanced at the disheveled Lu Xuanfeng and said coldly. Then, he led the way into the Yuewang Palace, with Chang Qianqian and others following closely behind.

Lu Xuanfeng was filled with fear and dared not look at Xiao Tianquan again. He quickly led his fellow disciples to catch up with Zhuo Junjie and the others, and the other cultivators did not connect his abnormal behavior with Xiao Tianquan.

"What is the origin of that dog..."

Lu Xuanfeng was filled with doubt and fear. At this moment, he wished he could slap his earlier self. How could the Yuewang let a useless dog guard the gate?

It wasn't the Yuewang who was embarrassed, it was him, Lu Xuanfeng!

In the central area of the Yuewang Palace, there was a large open space usually reserved for Qin Jun's martial arts practice. Now, it was used for banquets. In the night, oil lamps were placed around the open space, illuminating the entire banquet area. At this moment, Qin Jun was drinking with the disciples of the Fenshan Valley who had arrived first.

"Haha, the Yuewang truly lives up to his reputation as the current influential figure. He drinks without any hesitation," said Lin You, the senior disciple of Fenshan Valley, raising his cup and laughing. He had a medium build, a handsome face, and a somewhat refined temperament, but he was very bold when it came to drinking.

Qin Jun smirked. Joking aside, in his previous life, he had accompanied those bosses in drinking until he had a perforated stomach. He had long since developed a good tolerance for alcohol. Coupled with his cultivation at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment stage, alcohol didn't affect him much.

The conversation made the disciples of Fenshan Valley, represented by Lin You, have a good impression of Qin Jun. Mainly because Qin Jun didn't put on airs and didn't have a condescending attitude in his words. Compared to Qin Yu, they naturally preferred Qin Jun.

"The disciples of the Purple Light Sect and the Xuanling Sect have arrived!"

At this moment, a monk suddenly shouted, causing Qin Jun and Lin You to turn around. They saw Zhuo Junjie and Lu Xuanfeng strolling with their fellow disciples. As soon as Chang Qianqian saw Qin Jun, her eyes lit up and she ran towards him.

This scene made many young monks' hearts beat faster.

"What a cute girl. She seems to be the daughter of the head of the Xuanling Sect?"

"Of course, she's the princess of the Xuanling Sect!"

"Seeing her so excited, could it be because of me?"

"Shameless! It must be because of me!"

Even Lin You couldn't help but straighten his back and look at Chang Qianqian running towards him with a serious face.

Although Chang Qianqian's looks were slightly inferior to Daji's, she was indeed very beautiful. If her cultivation level were higher, her temperament might have been comparable to Daji's.

Little did they know, Chang Qianqian bypassed Lin You and threw herself into Qin Jun's arms, hugging him like an octopus once again. This scene made the young monks' eyes widen, while the female cultivators felt embarrassed for Chang Qianqian.

In the Kingdom of Qianyue, women were conservative, and it was rare for a woman to make such an intimate gesture in public, let alone as openly as Chang Qianqian did, which was enough to make people blush.

"Get down quickly!"

Qin Jun helplessly pulled Chang Qianqian away. How did this girl become more and more unruly?

However, feeling the envious glances of the male cultivators around him, he still felt quite pleased.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I missed you!"

Chang Qianqian pouted and reluctantly let go, her cute appearance melting the hearts of the male cultivators.

Daji, who was walking over with the steward Zhang Lao, couldn't help but frown as she watched.
