Chapter 25  : Chapter 025 The Method of Body Refining

“Young Master Yang, you have quite a way with words!”

Princess Changyang’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Yang Zhen. Her smile was as blooming as a flower, under the thunderous, ominous sky, it seemed as if a myriad of flowers were in full bloom.

Yang Zhen waved his hand, “Not at all, not at all. My eloquence is nowhere near the top. I have a senior brother who is greatly talented. His literary skill can bring peace to the world, and his martial ability can stabilize the universe. He is the true genius of our time!”

Princess Changyang was taken aback and asked, “May I know the name of this senior brother of yours? Truly, the world is filled with remarkable people!”

“I won’t tell you his name, you can guess it yourself. He’s a dragon among men, a red hare among horses, famously known as the number one handsome man in the world.”

Yang Zhen winked at Princess Changyang, putting on a

I – am – so – handsome – please – praise – me look.

Princess Changyang was taken aback then began to giggle. Her laughter brought brilliance to the world around her, stunning everyone present.

Princess Changyang was known for her elegance and beauty, but no one had seen her so openly joyful before. Even Yang Zhen hadn’t expected how ravishingly beautiful she would be when she laughed, even with her face covered by a veil. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, possessing an odd attraction that made people unable to tear their gazes away.

Princess Changyang’s face was slightly flushed as she looked at Yang Zhen with a half-smile, asking, “Young Master Yang, what do you want?”

“Would you suffice?”

“You…” Princess Changyang looked at Yang Zhen in surprise, then turned away. Yang Zhen’s voice, full of mischief, echoed again, “Just kidding! If I were to make such a request, I’m afraid all the single men in Nether Sun Country would drown me with their spit.”

Everyone stared blankly at Yang Zhen, utterly bewildered. This scoundrel, when did we ever agree to give you our princess?

Yang Zhen’s thick skin was something not everyone could comprehend.

Princess Changyang too seemed to be taken aback. Her face flushed completely and she didn’t know why, but in front of Yang Zhen, she was unable to maintain her usual pride and composure.

Yang Zhen always had a way of achieving his goals subtly, leading people into a trap. Between the lines, it seemed as though she wished he would ask for her hand from the royal palace of Nether Sun Country.

But his following words made Princess Changyang’s heart race uncontrollably. She was the Princess of Nether Sun Country, with incredible talent and unmatched beauty. Countless men in the world harbored a secret admiration for her.

If there truly was a man who was willing to stand against the world for her, well… just thinking about the man’s majestic posture and untamed spirit made her heart pound.

But does such a man truly exist?

Princess Changyang seemed to drift away for a moment, gradually lost in her thoughts.

“Princess? Princess?”

After Yang Zhen called her a couple of times, Princess Changyang finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, “You haven’t yet told me what you wish for as a reward. As long as I’m capable of giving it, I won’t hesitate.” “That’s easy!” Yang Zhen sighed in relief, asking, “I’m wondering if the princess has any cultivation methods for body forging?”

“Cultivation methods for body forging?” Princess Changyang was stunned.

The crowd erupted. After hearing Yang Zhen’s words, they started to berate him.

“Damn it, this kid talked so smoothly just to ask for a cultivation method for body forging?”

“Body forging cultivation methods are extremely rare. This kid shamelessly asks for one just like that.”

“Shameful? Why do I feel the word is oddly used on a scoundrel like Yang Zhen? Using the Thunder Element Wood as an excuse to ask for a body forging cultivation method is outrageous.”

“Just give him any random body forging cultivation method. Even the great sects of Nether Sun Country might not possess one, let alone a disciple from a small faction like Yang Zhen. Only a strong cultivating kingdom like Nether Sun Country can possibly have one.”

“That being said, if it wasn’t for Yang Zhen, the Thunder Element Wood would surely have caused a bidding war. In the end, who would’ve gotten it is still uncertain. Princess Changyang obtained the Thunder Element Wood effortlessly, giving him an average body forging cultivation method isn’t too much.”

As everyone discussed, Princess Changyang looked at Yang Zhen with a teasing smile and said, “Have you made up your mind?”

Yang Zhen nodded hurriedly and replied, “I have!”

Princess Changyang gently nodded, “Since you’ve decided, you cannot change your mind. Otherwise, I’ll be in a difficult position to explain.”

Upon hearing this, everyone went mad. Everyone could see the disappointment in Princess Changyang’s eyes. Yang Zhen still did not take back his words.

If he were to demand the princess now, he would surely fail. But he might win the princess’ favor or goodwill, something many men dreamed of. Yang Zhen, however… with his strength, we’re no match for him.

Su Qingyu’s brows furrowed as she watched the scene unfolding in front of her in confusion. Zhang Zongjin and the man beside Su Qingyu both squinted their eyes and glared fiercely at Yang Zhen as if he was their prey.

Ordinary people only saw that Yang Zhen had missed an opportunity, but those with discerning eyes understood that Yang Zhen had already mentioned wanting the princess, and if he didn’t talk about it now, where would it leave the princess’ reputation?

If Yang Zhen dodged the subject, and word of it got out, it would not only severely damage Princess Changyang’s reputation, but if it were known by the Royal Palace of Nether Sun Country, Yang Zhen would have nowhere to stand in the entire Nether Sun Country.

With this move, he had thoroughly offended both Princess Changyang and the entire Nether Sun Country.

Yang Zhen, oh Yang Zhen, what a grand path to death you’ve set for yourself!

Even a fool could see the disappointment in Princess Changyang’s eyes. How could Yang Zhen not see it? He stood tall and laughed, “Rest assured, Princess, once I, Yang Zhen, have made a decision, I never go back!”

Princess Changyang’s face changed as those around her gasped. Shaking their heads or gloating, all of them were waiting to see what would become of Yang Zhen.

Just then, Yang Zhen’s loud voice echoed, “Though I, Yang Zhen, am not earth-shatteringly talented or of distinguished background, I am a man with ambition. If I love a woman, I will pursue her with everything I have. How could I use such cheap tricks to win her favor? Furthermore, women are to be cherished, how can they be treated as objects of barter?”

Woah!

All the people present were agitated, staring at Yang Zhen in astonishment.

Was this… the same shameless, despicable man without any moral bottom line? His words were full of confidence, and he not only resolved his crisis, but also elevated Princess Changyang to an even higher position.

“If I like a woman, I will pursue her by my own abilities! Women are to be cherished, how can they be treated as objects of barter? These lines exuded such an impressive spirit that even the men around them were inspired, let alone the women of the court. Now, even Yang Zhen’s figure seemed to grow taller in their eyes.”

Princess Changyang was taking short, quick breaths. A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she nodded and said, “Young Master Yang speaks truly, I’ve learned something today. I do have a discipline here, it’s a Spiritual Level body forging method. However… regretfully, it’s only a fragmented version.”

Boom!

As soon as she uttered these words, everyone present was shocked.

A Spiritual Level body forging method! If news of this got out, it would likely shake the entire Nether Sun Country. Unexpectedly, Princess Changyang gave it to Yang Zhen just like that.

Could it be that Yang Zhen’s words truly won the favour of Princess Changyang?

In the crowd, Zhang Zongjin was bewildered as he watched the scene unfold. His face was full of confusion:

‘Who am I?’

‘Where am I?’

‘What the hell am I doing?’
