Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 75: Expedition (2)

"Your highness?" Shan Xiong Xin stares at Sun Wu Jian's back while their ears are still accompanied by the sound created from the cup rolling on the ground. That mere few seconds felt like minutes as they remained silent.

"Hooo... Brother Qin Lan is indeed a sharp one. I'm sorry, brother Shan, but like what brother Qin says, I am indeed someone from the Royal Family..." Sun Wu Jian returned to his seat as he continued.

"Are you both willing to listen to a story?" Sun Wu Jian grabbed the jar of wine on the table and poured the content straight into his mouth. Perhaps doing something like this gave him the courage to continue.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Lan placed two more jars of nameless wine on the table as they wait for Sun Wu Jian to start his story.

...

Being born into the Royal Family is not a blessing but a curse. 

In the eyes of the others, it was a privilege. A privilege of deciding at which moment the person lives or dies. But nobody truly realized the responsibility that came along with this accursed title.

Sun Wu Jian was the ninth child of the current King of Wu. Above him were four princes and princesses. There are three other princes after him, but they were too young to compete with the others.

In the Country of Wu, the right to succession does not come from the time you're born. Preparation was the only advantage you'll ever get from being born earlier than the others. And including Sun Wu Jian, the nine of them were only given one task to prove themselves worthy of the position as the next King of Wu.

Sovereignty over everything else.

With only an empty title of a prince, they're expected to establish their own force, structure, and system. Everything the prince managed to get into their hand would be counted as a part of their individual strength.

That means the princes are expected to amass everything they could while competing against one another. Even organizing an assassination against another royal competitor is allowed if they're capable enough.

Of course, no king willing to see his children kill one another. Hence, a guard of Full-Completion Bone Restructuring Layer is assigned to protect them from harm. That was the only obstacle guarding the king's candidate until a successor is chosen from them.

As the ninth prince, Sun Wu Jian was the youngest amongst them. Born from a mere consort who was wed to the current King of Wu under the pretense of diplomacy, Sun Wu Jian's background can be said to be the weakest between them.

This greatly hindered his path to succeed on the throne. Furthermore, as the youngest of them, his lack of social standing made it harder for him to recruit potential subordinates.

That's until Sun Wu Jian found his current chancellor. Learning under the chancellor for six years, Sun Wu Jian was taught differently from the other eight princes and princesses. Most of them selected the path of conquest, subjugation, politics, or commerce as their path.

Sun Wu Jian was the only one that chooses the path of virtue in his way to sovereignty.

...

...

"Brother Qin Lan. Brother Shan Xiong Xin. Please help me." Sun Wu Jian lowered his head toward them after he made a few steps away from the table.

And their response made his day filled with more expectations and not a disappointment. His two elbows were supported by Qin Lan and Shan Xiong Xin as he was going to ask them for a favor.

"If you still call me as a brother, don't do this anymore." Shan Xiong Xin said. Sun Wu Jian's eye was much more confident than before after Shan Xiong Xin's sentence.

"Would you be willing to support me, brother Qin?" Sun Wu Jian asked.

"That would be an honor." Qin Lan nodded. Using the three jars of wine on the table, the three of them made a promise to support each other.

...

"Husband, it seems that your mood is pretty good today. Did something happen?" Hu Jia asked while her finger is gently massaging Qin Lan's head.

"You can say so. I might need to go out for a while. Can I rely on you and the Li brothers to handle the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass and Rock Lotus Plants?" Qin Lan relaxed his head more as it fell onto Hu Jia's chest.

The flavor of a plum blossom entered Qin Lan's nose as he takes a sniff.

"Of course you can." Hu Jia moved her hand from massaging Qin Lan's head to his face. Each time she pressed his cheeks and chin, Qin Lan's head will lean on her breast harder. The friction that came between his head, her undergarment, and her hand movement made Hu Jia blushed.

Unconsciously, the two tips hidden behind the undergarment are erected out of Hu Jia's control. It started to give her a terrible time as she tries her best to control herself from letting out a moan.

"How long would your trip be?" Hu Jia asked.

"I'll come back when the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass is mature and ready. For this trip, I'll be taking Lu Yi, Lu Qing Yun, and Huo Zunjie along with me as they're all proficient in alchemy as well." Qin Lan replied to Hu Jia's question while still unaware of her expression.

"Oh..." Hu Jia gives out a response that doesn't seem to go along with Qin Lan's reply.

"How can my wife went into the mood before I take the initiative?" Qin Lan opened his eyes and stares at the blushing Hu Jia. Both of his hands reached out to the back of Hu Jia's head and pulled her face closer to him.

The two of them enjoyed a passionate kiss right on where they are. Following the kisses is a princess hug where Qin Lan brings Hu Jia over to their bed. Through his sensual touch and familiarity in undressing Hu Jia's clothing, Qin Lan quickly found his access point to Hu Jia's naked body.

His mouth that's been thirsting for her flesh went onto her twin peaks as its first target.

"Ahh!!!" Hu Jia moaned. It was an entirely new experience each time Qin Lan accessed her body. Sweat rolled all over her body even though it wasn't as hot as when the sun is up.

It was then continued with a ferocious thrust from Qin Lan's spear as both of them engaged in a battle. All sorts of techniques were being used until they finally ended up with Qin Lan's victory.

Panting on the bed, Hu Jia gently touched Qin Lan's face with an expression full of satisfaction.

"I'll be waiting for you to come back..." she said.
