Two gemstones, one aquamarine, one emerald green.
The aquamarine gemstone is identical to the one obtained previously.
The emerald green gemstone appears to be even more profound in color.
Both gemstones shimmer brilliantly, as if countless facets are constantly rotating.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his head to look at Li Yuzhen.
Li Yuzhen said softly, "His Highness said that one is from the Wolf Clan, and the other is from the Leopard Clan, both at the Transformation Realm level."
Her bright eyes flickered, "His Highness said these demon crystals are too difficult to obtain; he didn't encounter any above the Transformation Realm."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded, "Thank you His Highness for me; this is already very good."
As he spoke, his true essence was already circulating, and he held one gemstone in each hand.
The two demon crystals transformed into two streams of cool energy, permeating into the Moon Silk Frost Robe.
It felt like the cool energy was permeating into his own skin.
As the cool energy was injected, the Moon Silk Frost Robe shimmered, undergoing inexplicable changes.
Within the radiance, its structure changed, becoming more intricate, more refined, and more complex.
The aura flowing within also became richer and purer, and the routes became even more complex.
The human body's meridians and blood vessels are different; one is ethereal, one is substantial; one is a river-like channel, one is a real pipe.
The wonder of this Moon Silk Frost Robe lies in combining the two into one.
Those intricate and complex structures possess both extremely tough physical properties and allow aura to flow within.
The complexity and precision of its aura circulation routes astonished him.
Such amazing defensive capabilities also originate from this.
Li Yuzhen curiously sized him up.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Following your Highness's advice, I found a treasure armor; the demon crystals can strengthen it. The more demon crystals, the stronger it becomes."
Li Yuzhen understood.
She had never heard of anyone being able to absorb demon crystals; it turned out to be a treasure armor.
Many treasure armors are made from the fur of demon beasts, and enhancing these armors with demon crystals is plausible, although rarely heard of.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Have her continue to help find demon crystals; the more, the better."
"... Yes."
Li Yuzhen said helplessly.
His Highness probably won't help find them anymore; this time already took a great deal of effort.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "The stronger my treasure armor, the more capable I am of protecting myself, the less likely I am to die. If I die, your Highness will have to be a widow."
Li Yuzhen chuckled.
This Consort's face is thick enough, taking advantage and still looking like it's his right, and wanting to continue to take advantage.
Given Her Highness's temper, she would definitely scold him.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I will severely punish these two fellows, to vent some anger for her!"
Li Yuzhen couldn't help but say, "Isn't it to vent some anger for yourself, Consort?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I would rather the Yuanzhen Dynasty's prince succeed and become her consort; being a hostage is much better than being a forced consort."
Li Yuzhen snorted, "Consort, be careful with your words."
"Your Highness will be unhappy to hear that?" Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Has she ever cared whether I'm happy or not!"
Li Yuzhen said, "Her Highness has already been good enough to the Consort."
"She is indeed good enough, and I am endlessly grateful, but I still don't want to be this consort."
His own strength is insufficient, and the Yujing Dynasty's strength is also insufficient, so there's no way around being looked down upon by her.
The Twelfth Princess is arrogant, and her attitude is not good, but she helped with the help that should be given, and she did indeed do well.
Li Yuzhen looked at him helplessly.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Alright, I should go take care of those two rampant fellows. By the way, does she know why they want to kill me?"
"His Highness said that the Asking Heaven Pavilion might have seen something."
"They'd rather sacrifice their two princes to kill me?"
"They should have a way to escape."
Chu Zhiyuan sneered, "Heh, our Yujing Dynasty is really an easy target."
Even if they can escape the imperial city, the Yujing Dynasty will never give up and will definitely assassinate them.
It seems they are certain that once they reach the imperial city of the Yuanzhen Dynasty, they will be untouchable.
They are treating the Yujing Dynasty as an easy target to bully.
Li Yuzhen was silent.
In terms of strength, the Yujing Dynasty and the Yuanzhen Dynasty are similar.
Both feel that the other is worse, and the Phoenix Dynasty is watching the show from the sidelines.
Night was approaching.
Ten thousand lights were lit.
The Yujing Dynasty's Sifang Inn was brightly lit.
The Sifang Inn Street was wide and smooth, paved with white stones, making it appear even more neat and tidy.
On both sides of the street were various luxurious restaurants, shops, and small vendors.
As the residence for receiving foreign guests, the restaurants on both sides of Sifang Inn Street had different styles.
Some mainly featured the Yuanzhen Dynasty style, and some mainly featured the Phoenix Dynasty style.
It was said that they had invited chefs from the Yuanzhen Dynasty's imperial kitchen and chefs from the Phoenix Dynasty's imperial kitchen.
The restaurants and shops here were expensive, but other than being expensive, they had no other shortcomings.
Therefore, they attracted many wealthy and powerful people to come and experience a foreign flavor.
At this time, in an elegant room on the third floor of a Phoenix Dynasty-style restaurant, four young men were sitting.
Two of the young men were wearing bright yellow robes, and the other two were wearing purple robes.
All four were wearing long swords at their waists, had handsome appearances, and were chatting and laughing, while admiring the street below the restaurant.
The street was full of pedestrians, and children were running around in groups, causing bursts of scolding.
The young man with a more slender figure and a slightly more handsome appearance put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked with his hands behind his back.
The bright yellow robe fluttered, with faint golden light, shimmering.
He frowned, his expression stern, and suddenly stopped, saying coldly, "It seems we can't deal with this Ninth Prince."
The bright yellow robe young man opposite him was somewhat honest, scratching his chin, and said helplessly, "Yeah, it's difficult. He's hiding so much, we don't have a good way. We can't just directly challenge him at his door."
The stern young man said coldly, "He's determined to avoid battle. Even if we directly go to his door, he won't show his face. We can't just barge in."
A thin young man in a purple robe said, "Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince, I have already had people keep an eye on the Ninth Prince's mansion. As soon as he leaves the mansion, we will immediately receive the news."
The stern Fifth Prince, Cheng Yunzheng, coldly snorted, "Since he's hiding, he naturally won't leave the mansion. It's a waste of effort!"
"Yes."
The thin young man in purple robe was slightly embarrassed.
The honest yellow-robed young man, Sixth Prince, smiled and said, "We should still try. I heard that this one is not a patient person, but rather reckless and irritable, so he definitely can't hide."
Fifth Prince said coldly, "Our side should have leaked the news, otherwise why would he hide."
Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Fifth Brother, could we have misunderstood? Maybe he really is injured?"
"How can there be such a coincidence?" Fifth Prince Cheng Yunzheng sneered, "I never believe in coincidences!"
Cheng Yunqi said with a smile, "Sometimes it's just such a coincidence."
"It really is quite a coincidence."
A clear and unrestrained voice suddenly sounded.
The four men's expressions changed slightly, and they turned to look.
Chu Zhiyuan's voice rang out outside, "Ninth Prince Chu Liezhao is here!"
The two young men in purple robes had gloomy expressions, stepped forward, and blocked the door.
A white light pierced through the door, flooding into the room, followed by a surge of violent power.
The two purple-robed young men drew their swords, and two cold lights instantly illuminated the room.
The sword light slashed towards the white light.
The sword light was chilling, and the white light appeared soft.
"Buzz—"
"Buzz—"
The two swords emitting cold light trembled violently, and then suddenly flew out, shooting into the roof beam.
The sword tips pierced in a foot, and the sword bodies were still trembling violently, as if unwilling to be stopped, and the sword tassels were shaking.
Chu Zhiyuan pushed open the door and strode in, standing in front of the four men, sneering, "Who said I was hiding?!"
He then sneered, "With the likes of you two, could you make me hide?!"
