Chapter (10)

Since the beginning of the new era, there existed four important families in the Wolf clans of the Chenshi Empire.

The royal family was the strongest one that was entrusted to rule the realm after countless wars and victories. But there were others…

~The Wang Family was the one Wang Hua was bred. They were Alchemists and the richest Clan with sacred spiritual power. The Chenshi clans always had come to esteem them for their proficiency.

Her father was Wang Shufen, a genius alchemist who lost his life on a mission a few years ago. He loved both of his daughters but the first daughter was distinct from his younger sister.

Wang Hua was exceptionally exquisite, delicate, and intelligent. Perhaps, she was unaware of it but her father could see a bright future for her. She learned everything faster than everyone else could and had earned a sacred capacity.

The girl could see the herbs absorbing qi and cultivating. Wang Shufen was certain that his daughter was the only one with this skill.

But...

She suffered something preposterous, she had no spiritual core to stimulate her cultivation! At the age of five, when every child should have been examined for the phase of their spiritual core, it turned out that she didn't even acquire one.

In contrast to that, Wang Ah Lam had the rarest and most decisively vigorous one.

He didn't let this disqualification devastate his elder daughter and taught her how to enhance her knowledge.

However, after his death, Wang Hua's life altered into hell.

She had to live in Wang Manor. She was not allowed to see her relatives in their houses, nor was she permitted to have friends and stroll in the city to have fun and shortly everyone forgot that she existed.

She grew into a good-for-nothing individual in the eyes of many influential families and soon her name faded away from their minds. The girl soon would turn eighteen and it seemed her birthday was going to be relatively different.

~Another significant and prominent family was the royal Family, those who settled in Yueliang palace.

Li Family, or better to be mentioned as the royal family had earned achievements in chivalry and defeating enemies. Their spiritual essence could evolve more than any other clan, endorsing them with the chance of ascension as immortals.

King Li Zinxin was in his sixties and had three children.

He married his first mistress, and with the persistence of The Mother Queen, mistress Li Ping'er, the King's mate became the next Queen of the Chenshi empire. And it incited the concubine's jealousy.

The Queen was constantly ill after delivering her second child Prince Li Bai. For such a cause, her daughter Princess Xiaoshen always kept the queen far from policy and the jealous concubine, Li Xiang.

Princess Xiaosheng was the eldest child, the twenty-year-old daughter of the emperor, and his favorite person. The King always kept his expectations high of her.

The princess was born delicate and potent, thus people believed that the next monarch would be their princess but the princess believed otherwise. Deeming her second brother, the eighteen-year-old Li Bai was the eminent alternative for their father's throne.

The youngest child of the royal family was the sixteen-year-old Li Jinhai. He was as handsome as his brother but in strength, he lacked, he couldn't find himself at Li Bai's cultivation level. Because his brother was a sheer genius, rationally. Jinhai's deficiency always hammered his mother's nerves as she didn't want any rival for her son.

Anyway, living in the palace was never a bed of roses but carried the eeriest responsibilities and burdens that none of them could skip.

~The third family was the Luo family, they were the guardians of metal mines and forged the best weapons, ironware, etc...

Their elder son Luo Hao Yu was the prince's second and First Lord, a very skillful seventeen-year-old with a bright future, and a loyal man to his prince and his people. A black and white Wolf.

~ And the last of the wolf clan was Feng Family. The Lord of Farmlands. They supplied everything for the people of Chenshi and didn't neglect their duty, however lately because of the demons' ravage, they were having tough days.

Their son, the Lord of the south, the seventeen-year-old Feng Feiyu had sworn to wield his sword for the land of Chenshi and his prince, the second Lord after Luo Hao Yu. The Brown Wolf of meadows.

~ But it didn't end there, there were two other families from different species of the land, Loyal to their birthplace and potent enough to become the emperor's opponent...

To prevent any dissidence, The Eagle Clan sent their second prince to become the third Lord of Chenshi. Ming Xiao Bo, the white eagle, the lord of mountains, and the cheerful son of the eagle King. Unlike the haughty and indifferent temper of eagles, this one was always heartsome and rattling, ready to jump into any joyful conversation. His favorite people in Yueliang palace were Prince Jinhai and Li Bai. However, he was trying to get closer to Jinhai who rarely smiled and always looked dull and unhappy.

And the fourth Lord of the Chenshi came from the most potent one, the Tiger clan. After many wars between these Wolf and Tiger clans eventually, they came to a ceasefire and then followed peace twelve years ago.

The Tiger King sent his fourth son, the eighteen-year-old Wu Yuhang to be the Lord of Chenshi, and these lords were meant to protect the land from any coming exterior threat.

And they all gathered inside the meeting hall after being summoned by the crown prince. Sat at the table while the illusion nail was floating overhead, sealed with a blue magical aura.

"If they could advance this close to hitting you, we can't step back and watch! The next one can be either of us!"

Wu Yuhang warned. His blue sharp eyes glinted dangerously. A strand of his crimson-red hair dropped on his forehead.

He was famous for being a rough man who would not neglect his duty, a man who didn't fear to confront the dark...

All the Lords were young and handsome, but life didn't take it easy on them. At such a young age that they must be arranging a time for mating and pleasuring their blooming youth era, they were proceeding to face war and chasing demons.

"Wu Yuhang is right, we must leave our warm beds, and find them before they come to us, they won't ring the doorbell before seizing us."

Luo Hao Yu agreed with him.

The Wolf prince mused, and after a short pause asked, "Will you stand by my side to the end?"...despite the disagreement of our fathers? In the arena of power and dark? Can you resist your longings and what demons bring to separate us? He continued in his mind…

"We've pledged, of course, we will!"

Exclaimed Ming Xiao Bo.

"I'm with you, your Highness!"

Feng Feiyu admired them all with a satisfying nod, he could not imagine seeing such a day happen to them so they could sit and make crucial decisions like grand men.

"Then, I will convince my father to send scrolls to your courts. We will stay together for two consecutive months to clean the Spirit Forest. We will cultivate as much as we can."

"Good, this way we can prepare for the moment the dark Queen claims war and appears."

Xiao Bo declared, his face was serious and tough when it came to stopping demons.

"I suggest the manor in Shenghuo village, it is close to Spirit Forest, and if we get lucky we can search for the sacred flame. That can enhance our cultivation grade."

Wu Yuhang recommended and a hint of a grin on the corner of the prince's lips spoke of his satisfaction.

"Wait here and enjoy yourself, I will talk to my father."

The prince stood up, turning into a wolf spirit form he blazed out.
