14 Crown prince

Unbeknownst to the fact that he had ended up causing the death of eight women since they had heard the words he spoke, not that he would care about it even if he knew, Li Feng was walking towards the Royal Palace which was essentially different from how the various courtyards inside the estate looked like.

Stepping up the stairs which were made of the purest jade possible to find in this world, Li Feng had to admit that a lot of effort had been placed in designing and building this palace.

After all, even the floor which was stepped on was covered in huge beautiful drawings of myriad beasts which depicted a beast war when looked down on from the skies.

Raising his head, Li Feng's eyes were attracted towards the multi-layered roof coated in gold which as a whole looked like two huge dragons were flying towards the centre of the palace from the opposite sides.

Moving his head down and focussing on the doors which were opened and allowed access to the palace, Li Feng ended up licking his lips right away upon spotting the two rows of women standing on either side of the entrance with their heads deeply bowed.

As if the women being beautiful wasn't enough, looking at how obediently all of their heads were deeply bowed, Li Feng found his dominant side feeling very satisfied causing him to stand even more erect with his chest puffed out in pride.

Not missing this barely noticeable change with her sharp eyes, Yu Yan who was following Li Feng only felt curious about the possible reason behind this subtle change but didn't think too much about it.

Walking in between the two rows of women each of whom made him want to ravage them, Li Feng entered the palace which despite its huge size only had two rooms.

The front hall where the meetings and all official work took place, and the sleeping hall where the king lived slept along with whichever woman or women he wanted to.

Entering the huge hall, Li Feng first looked towards the man who sat high up on the throne which was positioned above the stairs.

Looking to be in his mid 30s, the man had a handsome chiselled face, which along with the weapon lying on the armrest on his huge throne gave him a valiant warrior like aura.

Simply nodding his head towards Yao Cheng, Li Feng walked to the side and stood towards the end which was closest to the exit and didn't move near the throne.

This was surprising to many who were seeing him for the first time since every prince hoped to move as close to the throne as possible due to how it represented a higher status, but those who knew about him only turned a blind eye to this.

Li Feng had a face which women fawned on while men felt annoyed from looking towards it. Due to this, even though he chose to stand far from where the throne was at, there was no lack of how many were looking towards him.

Be it the women whose minds would be filled with lustful thoughts, or the men who wanted nothing more than to kill him due to how their women were looking towards him, everyone looked towards Li Feng who didn't care about any of them.

"You've arrived. Why don't you stand closer and let me take a better look at you?"

Showing a wry smile, Li Feng moved closer to the other end of the hall under the eyes full of jealousy and envy since Yao Cheng never treated any of them the same way despite possessing his blood inside them as well.

"Good good good!"

Speaking three times to show how happy he was, Yao Cheng given his strength instantly found out that Li Feng had completed the Muscle Forming Realm and could start training in the third realm at any moment.

"Completing the Muscle Forming Realm in just two years after you started cultivating, you sure are my, Yao Cheng's biggest pride!"

Maintaining the same smile as usual, Li Feng only made Yao Cheng feel even more proud at how composed he was and laughed out loudly in happiness.

The others inside the room however didn't share the same happiness and glared towards Li Feng with hidden hostility.

Things might have been acceptable or fine in the long past when Li Feng was Yao Cheng's only son, but given how there were now eight other princes, most of whom weren't much younger than Li Feng, there was no way the families which supported them could brush those words off.

"Given your talent and aptitude, no one other than you deserves the position of the crown prince. But since you've rejected it, I picked another one."

Hoping to find a reaction as he spoke, Yao Cheng was slightly disappointed from seeing Li Feng's still indifferent look.

'Seems like he really has no interest in ruling the kingdom.'

Shaking his head inwardly from thinking that Li Feng's ambitions lied elsewhere, and most likely somewhere far away, Yao Cheng didn't know if he should be proud of this son whose goals were greater and out of this world, or disappointed at not wanting to rule his kingdom.

Either way, Yao Cheng was filled with pride because he could sense that Li Feng had a great ambition and regardless of whether he achieved it or not, he'd definitely leave a mark on the world which not even time could erase.

Not talking more about Li Feng, since Yao Cheng knew that he couldn't show any more favorability towards him right now, the king announced, "Starting today, the crown prince of the Yao Kingdom will be my second son, the third prince, Yao Lin!"

Looking towards Li Feng after he said that, Yao Cheng seemed to be letting the young man know that he could have that position whenever he wanted it.
