Chapter Six: Jubilation

  ♂?,,

  "Haha, I told you so, Sixth Brother. How could it be as decadent as the rumors said?" The Crown Prince dissipated Lieteng's punch with one fist, his face slightly pale, and laughed heartily.

  Lieteng's face changed, and he let out a sigh. "Big brother, let's talk about this again when we get back to the imperial palace." He immediately ignored the shocked, surprised, and disbelieving gazes around him and hastily entered the imperial palace, with several princes following closely behind.

  "Am I seeing things?! The useless prince actually withstood the big prince's punch and even sent him flying tens of steps back?"

  "No, this must be a dream, how can Sixth Prince's frail body withstand Eldest Prince's powerful punch?"

  "This...this...is the Sixth Prince hiding his true abilities? Not the useless prince from the rumors?" Finally, someone woke up and it was like a pot had been opened as everyone started discussing heatedly.

  The woman on the second floor of Meixian Building gazed at all this, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of surprise and confusion. She stared at Lie Teng's body, muttering to herself: "The so-called useless prince? Indeed, he is hiding his true self. Sixth Prince, how many secrets do you still have? You even made it impossible for me to see through?" This woman was none other than Meixian Building's flower courtesan, Liu Ying.

  In an instant, the news of Fei Chai Wang Zi's single punch defeating Da Wang Zi spread like wings and filled the entire city. Every street and alley was discussing the matter of today.

  At the time when everyone was discussing, in the imperial city, in the small courtyard where Lie Tong was located, Lie Tong put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. The eldest prince, Lie Qin, stood on one side with a face full of unbearable pain. Among the princes, from childhood to adulthood, Lie Tong and Lie Qin had the best relationship. Even after Lie Qin joined the army, it did not affect the brotherly love between them. In an imperial family, there is no familial affection, but this does not exist between Lie Tong and Lie Qin.

  "Lao Liu, the previous emperor has passed away, and I am also heartbroken. But we are still young and in our prime, we should create a new era of prosperity and make great achievements for the Liefeng Empire, rather than letting ourselves decline." Lie Qin said solemnly.

  "Big brother, there's no need to say more about this matter, I've already seen through it. By the way, in three days it will be a grand celebration, and with the early birth of a noble son, Father Emperor can also enjoy the joy of family. Hehe, big brother, I heard that Princess Lingyue, no, should be Big Sister, is the number one lady of the Xuan Yue Empire, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and has beauty like a heavenly fairy, how did she end up with this rough and wild person?" Lie Tong's face was expressionless as he intentionally made a serious face, staring at Crown Prince Lie Qin with a mischievous grin.

  "You little scamp, you're really asking for it!" Lie Qin slapped the top of Lie Teng's head, laughing and scolding him. In that instant, Lie Qin's expression turned serious, his rugged face stern. He stared at Lie Teng with piercing eyes and said in a deep voice, "Old Six, I also know what you're thinking, and I know you're seeking the path to eternal life. But how many people have succeeded throughout history? Those rumors are just legends, but who can say for certain? Life may be only a few decades long, but there's still so much worth cherishing. Isn't that right?"

  Lie Teng's face, which had been smiling, also slightly subsided. He took a deep breath, his body trembling slightly, and his eyes gazed at Lie Qin with complexity. After a long time, he finally said: "Big brother! Why do you want to fight for all of this? Even if we reach the highest peak of power in the world, even if we unify the Dragon String Continent, what's the point? In the end, it's still just a pile of yellow earth. Is the effort of a lifetime just for a grand funeral?"

  "Lao Liu, with me, with the loving Emperor Father, and the entire Lie Feng Empire, if you're willing, achieving a great emperor's career is not impossible. As long as you put your heart into it, I suppose it's not unachievable." Lie Qin said in a deep voice.

  "Big brother, don't say that. My mind is made up. If life only lasts a hundred years, I won't fight for any rights, but rather make myself live more easily and happily. Since I can't be an immortal, then I want to live even happier than immortals." Lie Teng said firmly, and immediately turned around and left.

  Lie Qin looked at Lie Teng's lonely figure, his eyes extremely complex, and couldn't help but sigh.

  On the third day, the marriage of Da Wang Zi Zhen Nan Jiang Jun Lie Qin was to be held after Ming Ri, and the wedding had entered its final preparations. The entire imperial city was plastered with red "xi" characters, and the wind also showed signs of celebration everywhere.

  The four major famous buildings in Fengdu are extremely lively, and officials from all over the Empire of Liefeng have come to Fengdu, including some high-ranking officials and nobles. The fame of the four major famous buildings in Fengdu is enough to make young talents on the Longxuan Continent eager to visit, making it impossible for them not to be excited.

  At noon, the flower fairy was still performing in the Meixian Building, and the main hall was already full, even with dozens of additional tables and chairs added. Ordinary young masters couldn't get in at all. Lieteng arrived early in the main hall, but unlike before, the gaze of the young masters towards him had changed from disdain and ridicule to fear and shock. After all, these young masters would not be able to withstand a single punch from Lie Qin without being bedridden for half a month.

  Lie Teng and Ping Chang sat normally in the front, looking ahead, which made many people suspect, could it be true that the rumor of the useless prince Lie Qin being knocked down by the eldest prince with one punch? Tomorrow is the day of great joy for the eldest prince, how can the sixth prince still be so leisurely today?

  Soon after, Liu Ying slowly walked onto the stage. Today, Liu Ying wore a golden thread-embroidered dress that revealed her smooth shoulders and perfectly outlined her slender yet curvaceous figure. She wore a jade butterfly hairpin, and her face was as beautiful as a heavenly being, seemingly untouched by worldly desires. As soon as she appeared on stage, the eyes of the nobles and young masters nearly popped out, their throats rolling in unison. The murmurs in the hall suddenly ceased, replaced only by heavy breathing and the sound of swallowing saliva. Today, Liu Ying's attire undoubtedly stirred up men's most primal desires.

  Liu Ying looked at the naked man below, blushed and smiled slightly, her body slightly bent to make a bow, her eyes glanced at Lie Teng who was staring at her, her face turned a little pink, then she sat down and began to play, her slender fingers slowly plucking the strings.

  "Hum..." The sound of the guqin rose, gradually entering a state of perfection. The eyes in the great hall all gathered on Liuyue's body, it was unclear whether they were truly intoxicated by the music or by Liuyue's beauty. Lie Teng slowly closed his eyes and carefully listened to Liuyue's guqin sound.

  After several songs were played, Liu Ying slowly stood up, looked at Lie Teng who was closing his eyes, showed a faint smile, and then walked out of the stage.

  In the blink of an eye, the grand hall was still quiet, but soon after, it seemed like a pot had exploded, and these officials finally woke up.

  "Let's have another song!!"

  "The next piece" The loud shout was deafening, and many officials and nobles, as well as young masters, stared with wide eyes and shouted loudly. Lie Teng slowly opened his eyes, looking at the almost frantic officials and nobles around him, furrowing his brow, standing up to leave, but found that a maid named Xiaohua was speaking to him with a red face, however, in the grand hall which was like a marketplace, even with Lie Teng's keen hearing, he couldn't make out what she was saying. After hesitating for a moment, Lie Teng followed Xiaohua backstage.
