Chapter 1536: Xingluo Empire Crown Prince, Dai Yueyan! (Please Subscribe)_1

On the other side, when Xu Sheng gently placed Dai Yun'er on the bed and was about to turn and leave...

Seeing this scene, she bit her thin lips, expressing some disappointment, "Wait, Elder Xu, are you still going to leave?"

Xu Sheng smiled faintly, "No, since I have promised His Majesty the Emperor, I will naturally stay in the imperial palace for a few days, but it would be greatly impolite to stay continuously in Her Royal Highness the Princess's chambers."

Almost instantly upon saying this, Dai Yun'er excitedly replied, "Elder Xu, I don't mind at all!"

But realizing the ambiguity of her words, her cheeks turned red and adorable!

In her fluster, she explained, "No... that's not what I meant. Elder Xu, you are my lifesaver; how could I possibly mind you being here?"

How could she possibly mind? Deep down, she wished for nothing more than Xu Sheng to be by her side at all times!

Xu Sheng pressed his lips together, "Her Royal Highness truly is amusing. However, since I am to stay in the imperial palace for a few days, I wonder where I should reside?"

It seemed the emperor of the Xingluo Empire indeed intended for him to grow closer to Dai Yun'er. Otherwise, how could he have overlooked such a matter?

Yet, this plan would likely be in vain, as he had no particular feelings towards Dai Yun'er!

The reason he saved her was merely to ensure the normal conduct of the Xingluo Land's exchange competition!

Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er lowered her head, muttering softly, "Actually, Elder Xu, you can stay here with me; after all, it's a bedroom... and it's quite spacious."

Then, she quickly waved her hands and explained, "But don't misunderstand, Elder Xu. I just feel much more at ease with you around!"

Every now and then, the memory of her suffering at the hands of the evil Soul Master would cast a deep shadow over her heart!

Yet when Xu Sheng was by her side, she felt a sense of security like never before...

Xu Sheng's heart softened, and he reached out to ruffle Dai Yun'er's hair, "Her Royal Highness only has some lingering shadows from the torture of the evil Soul Master, with some rest, you will recover in no time!"

At this moment, his entire being exuded an enchanting charm which made the inexperienced Dai Yun'er fall deeply into a tender reverie, from which she couldn't extricate herself.

But before she could indulge for long, the door to her chambers was briskly pushed open, and an urgent male voice rang out...

"Sister, are you in your room? I heard you were captured by the evil Soul Master, are you hurt?"

The newcomer was a handsome young man with an air of authority about him.

It was none other than Dai Yun'er's elder brother, and the future heir to the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Yue Yan!

But as soon as he saw Xu Sheng caressing Dai Yun'er, his eyes instantly sharpened...

He demanded coldly, "Who are you? Why are you in my sister's chambers?"

He knew his sister's temperament all too well to believe she would act so affectionately in front of anyone.

And yet this man was here, in her chambers, engaging in such an intimate act; certainly, there was more to this than met the eye!

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Dai Yun'er instantly snapped out of it and explained, "Brother, don't misunderstand, he is Elder Xu from the Sea God Pavilion; he saved me!"

When Dai Yue Yan learned that Xu Sheng was indeed an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, surprise flashed across his face, but he still frowned and said, "But just now..."

Dai Yun'er immediately understood her brother might have gotten the wrong idea. She fiddled with her hair, looking sheepish, "No... that's not it. Elder Xu was just using Soul Power to nurture my sea of consciousness."

Dai Yue Yan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "My sister always fiddles with her hair when she lies. Seems like she has taken a liking to this Elder Xu!"

But was he truly an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion? Why so young? He didn't seem much older than himself!

Dai Yun'er then turned to Xu Sheng and introduced, "Elder Xu, this is my brother, Dai Yue Yan, and he is also the Crown Prince of the Xingluo Empire!"

Xu Sheng also looked towards Dai Yueyan, his expression unchanging as he said, "It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my apologies for the disrespect!"

This Crown Prince of the Xingluo Empire seems to have some skill; his character is completely different from Dai Yun'er's, rather resembling his father, Emperor Dai Tianling!

Dai Yueyan gave a slight nod, "Your Excellency is an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, there's no need for such courtesy. However, my previous actions were indeed a bit rash."

After pausing, he continued, "Additionally, I thank Elder Xu for saving my incompetent sister from the hands of the evil Soul Master. Should you ever need my assistance in the future, I shall not decline!"

To a powerful being of the Elder's caliber in the Sea God Pavilion, any material thing I could offer would be of little value in their eyes!

The only thing I could give was a favor of my own!

Xu Sheng nodded, "Good, if there's anything I need help with from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will not be polite!"

Seeing the conversation between the two, Dai Yun'er complained with a full face of resentment, "Brother, what do you mean by incompetent sister? I earned my place in the Monster Academy through strength. Even if I'm not excellent, I'm not so bad as to be called incompetent!"

Dai Yueyan said coldly, "Hmph, considering your reckless actions, you're lucky not to be grounded!"

Although he knew his sister had faced some grievances, he couldn't help but reprimand her!

Dai Yun'er pouted and retorted, "How did I run around recklessly when Father himself granted me permission to go to the Young Soul Masters Tournament to look for a teacher that catches my eye?"

She had no interest in watching the Young Soul Masters Tournament!

A look of surprise appeared in Dai Yueyan's eyes, and he asked in return, "Oh? Have you found one?"

Dai Yun'er proudly said, "Of course I found... found..."

"I found one, but I don't know if they'll agree!"

Her voice faltered midway through speaking; observing carefully, one could see she intentionally avoided looking at Xu Sheng...

The implication was self-evident...

Dai Yueyan, seeing through all this, didn't expose her, saying indifferently, "Looking at your weakened state, you'd better rest well for a few days before discussing anything else."

This little sister of his, who couldn't even hide her true thoughts, was indeed a worry!

However, it seemed her physical condition wasn't as bad as he had thought!

He then glanced at Xu Sheng and said, "Elder Xu, if you don't mind, please join me for a meal, and we can talk more. How about it?"

He wanted to delve deeper into Elder Xu's background!

Xu Sheng glanced at Dai Yun'er, who hoped he would decline, and responded, "Then I thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the invitation!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, please rest well. I beg your leave!"

Having spoken, he left Dai Yun'er's chamber straight away...

Watching as the two figures disappeared from sight, Dai Yun'er said on her bed with some indignation, "Hey... Brother, how can you treat your own sister like this?"

How infuriating! Just as she had managed to get a bit closer to Elder Xu, her own brother had ruined it all!

Wrong, he had stolen it away!
