Chapter 151: Sibling Banter
"Li-san." Dojin called out to her as he left the training field. Yeon was thoroughly annoyed. She let her sword fall to the wind as it disintegrated."I definitely have the most disgusting brother ever," Yeon said to herself. "How can you abandon your own sister for her?""Great, here comes the prince. I was so sure he was going to confront me if he saw me," Li-san sighed."Well, the prince doesn't really look like a bad person, but... yeah, I don't trust him," Kaien replied."It's not even about trust, Kaien. I don't like him, and he won't accept that I'm not interested. I'm exhausted. I don't even want to go home." Li-san's frustration was evident."Well, it's too late now. You're just going to have to deal with it right here, right now," Kaien told her.With that, the prince halted in front of her. He took her hands and kissed them. "Good morning, my queen."'Your queen?' she thought irritably. 'I am definitely not his queen.'"Yeah, good morning. How are you doing?" Li-san asked c
Chapter 152: Dead Shock
"Master, what is the next phase of our plan?" Mo Tianxuan kneeled before the rift beneath the castle, from which radiated the voice of Vex'tharion.Serenity laid between them for minutes before Vex'tharion spoke. "The next phase of our plan is simple: we will force the prince to marry Li-san.""Master..." Mo Tianxuan muttered without raising his head. "Getting the prince to marry her might be a totally different thing.""Of course not. The prince has feelings for Li-san. We must use it against him in order to have her within our midst.""Very well then, master. Consider it done.""Li-san is the key to my return, which is why it is essential that we act fast before the Moonfang vessel finds finds out."In the capital of the Ashmoon Kingdom, Li-san dragged Kaien to an alley where she pinned him to the wall.Kaien raised a brow with concern. "What the hell are you doing?""What I should have done in front of him a long time ago."Kaien wasn't oblivious to what she said, but he chose to s
Chapter 153: Blood
"Li-san's blood?" Dojin shook his head. "Is this some sort of joke?""It's no joke, my prince. Her blood is the only way to keep the prison stable enough to hold Vex'tharion."Dojin raised a brow. "But why her? Why human blood? Wait—how much blood are we talking about?""My prince, we need a whole lot of it..." Mo Tianxuan managed to say. "A little alone won't do."Dojin frowned. "So you want to turn her into some sacrificial lamb because of Vex'tharion?" Mo Tianxuan couldn't reply. "Li-san won't be used as a sacrifice to keep a prison stable.""But my prince—" Vex'tharion's words stopped him."There's no need to argue with the prince. If he refuses to do as told, then we can make it just that much easier for us."How so?"Manipulate him into doing it. Use your magic to make him carry out the task," Vex'tharion answered. "There's no point arguing with him."Dojin turned away from the mage before facing him again. "How do you even know about all of this?""My father taught me a lot of
Chapter 156: Emptiness
Li-san didn't sleep that night either. She sat on the edge of her bed, still wearing the same clothes from the marketplace, her mind replaying everything that happened at the warehouse. Especially the moment Kaien came to her rescue, she'd completely given up as of that point. By morning, she'd managed to piece enough strength together for herself to taste sunrise from her window. She was washing the dust from her hands when a knock came on her door. When she went to get it, it turned out to be Kaien.He looked worse than she felt—but it was impossible to see dark circles under his eyes, but you could feel that same weight pressing down on his shoulders. He himself had not gotten much sleep. "You're awake..." "I didn't sleep." She replied, "Just come in, we need to talk," They sat in her room with the door closed, away from prying ears. Li-san started first, her voice tight with frustration."I was only supposed to stay one night, Kaien. One night. Now I'm caught up in kidn
Chapter 157: Village of Ashmoon
The village of Ashmoon sprawled across the landscape like something alive—constantly growing, constantly changing. Yeon moved through it like a ghost, unremarkable despite being royalty. No one glanced twice at her. That was the point, she'd explained as they left the castle. During official ceremonies and public appearances, her face was always hidden behind veils and ceremonial masks. The people knew the princess existed, but they'd never actually seen her.Which meant she was, effectively, invisible.Han couldn't stop staring. Everything about Ashmoon felt different. The marketplace alone was massive—stalls stretched for what looked like miles, organized in neat rows but bursting with life and energy. The population density was nothing like Azure. There were more people in this one district than in entire towns back home."Look at the buildings," Han muttered to Kaien as they walked, his eyes tracking the architecture. "The stonework. Everything's reinforced. There's actual infrast
Chapter 158: Regret That
They walked deeper into the village as the afternoon sun began its slow descent. Yeon led them away from the crowded marketplace, down quieter streets lined with smaller shops and residential areas. Only when they were far enough from prying eyes did she finally speak freely."I've spent my entire life indoors," Yeon said, her voice carrying a weight that hadn't been there before. The casual princess act was gone now, replaced with something more honest. "Locked away in the castle with tutors and ceremonies and expectations. Every time I've tried to step outside, there's always been an excuse to pull me back. A royal function. A meeting. Something important that required my attention."She paused at a small garden, looking at the flowers without really seeing them."So I started looking for reasons to leave. Excuses, mostly. Training grounds that needed inspection. Markets that needed royal presence. Anything that would get me out of those walls, even if just for a few hours." She tur
Chapter 159: Dual Moon Cultivator
The first cultivator strikes first with a controlled burst of fire, hurling his fist towards Kaien, who sidestepped the attack casually. The cultivator kept hurling his fist at Kaien, refusing to stop, so sure he could land a hit. But Kaien caught his fist midway and pulled him forward, delivering a punch to his jaw. The force sent the first cultivator hurtling into his comrades."Argh!" They all released a groan, crashed against one another. Kaien didn't give them time to recover as the first cultivator tried to get up.Kaien spun around on his right foot and immediately kicked the head of the first cultivator.The cultivator could have sworn he felt his head leave his body, but he'd gotten lucky. Instead, his entire body was sent hurtling through a market stand."I hope the rest of you can do better," Kaien said coldly.Kaien took a proper stance after brushing off their ring leader.Yeon was amazed by what Kaien had just done. If she was correct, the first cultivator that Kaien had
Chapter 160: A Cliff
As they headed back to the castle, Kaien couldn't stop blaming himself for Li-san's situation."It's all my fault. If I had never left, the prince wouldn't have done any of this.""No, it's not your fault," Yeon grabbed his arm and walked with him. "My brother's obsession with her got the best of him. That's why it's not entirely on you."Kaien paused and looked at her. "You think? I'm sure none of this would have happened if we were still there."Yeon remained silent. That silence said everything."Yeah, I thought so. He was just waiting for an opportunity to make his move. Now that he's made it, I have to stop him." Kaien started moving immediately.Yeon bit her lips and chased after him with Han Seojun. "Kaien, wait."She grabbed his arm, walking alongside him now. "We don't know what's going on. Don't jump to conclusions.""What do you mean we don't know?" Kaien's voice was sharp. "Your brother is literally holding Li-san captive, and you're saying we don't know what's going on?"
Chapter 161: Heard Me
Their footsteps stopped abruptly. Kaien halted, and Han Seojun and Princess Yeon had no choice but to stop with him. A cliff stretched out ahead of them, the edge sharp and unforgiving."Why would the servant come this way?" The question carried a weight that made Kaien's gut tighten.Yeon's eyes widened. Fear flooded her face, and she couldn't speak. She was trying to process what she was seeing, but it didn't make sense. None of it made sense.Seojun tried to lean toward the cliff's edge, but Kaien grabbed him and pulled him back. Then Kaien moved to the edge himself, crouching on his heels and looking down.Below was a body. It took him a moment to register what he was seeing. The servant. Dead on the rocks beneath them, soaked in blood.When Yeon saw Kaien staring down there for too long, she gasped. Her heart sank like a stone. He's dead. She said it under her breath at first, then louder, making sure Kaien and Seojun heard. "The servant is dead."Kaien's gaze swept across the ar
Chapter 162: Blocking His Qi
"All your questions only mean that you don't trust me, Yeon," Dojin said, his voice cold. "I don't know where she is. But yes, I saw her earlier today. She was helping with the festival preparations, and I told her that when she was done, she should find you. You had a message for her. So I don't understand why you don't trust me."He looked away visibly annoyed. "If there's nothing else, you can leave. I have other things to attend to.""It's very late," Yeon pressed. "Where could you possibly be heading?""That's none of your business. You got the answer you wanted, so let this be the first and last time you ask me something like this. It won't go as smoothly next time if you keep pushing me. If you can't find her, that's not my problem. Maybe she doesn't want to speak to any of you. Now leave."Without another word, Yeon left her brother's room, the door closing behind her. She wasn't sure what to think anymore. Something wasn't right. Nothing felt normal about that conversation.
