Chapter 640: The Third Prince's Threat
After experiencing the turmoil during the day, when he took Bai Wushuang to Star Seizing Tower at night, Qin Feng deliberately disguised himself to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings if others saw him.
He wanted Bai Wushuang to cover her beautiful face with a veil, but she refused.
Her reason for refusing was simple: wearing a veil would slow down her eating speed.
Qin Feng understood that she liked to wear black dresses because black hides dirt well and she didn’t have to worry about getting food stains on herself.
A true foodie through and through.
Arriving at the stairs, they encountered the old man who judged which floors the guests could go to.
With Qin Feng’s current status and his relationship with the prince, it would be possible to climb to the top floor of the Star Seizing Tower.
However, he directly interrupted the old man and solemnly said, “We will dine on the second floor today.”
It’s worth noting that the higher the floor of the Star Seizing Tower, the higher the quality of the ingredients and the more expensive the prices.
And with Bai Wushuang’s fighting power, if they went to the top floor, they might end up spending tens of thousands of silver for just one meal. Who could bear that?The old man glanced at Bai Wushuang next to Qin Feng, and seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, “Young Master Qin, as you wish.”
As he climbed up to the second floor and took a seat, Bai Wushuang curiously asked, “Are there any special rules between the different levels of this Star Seizing Tower?”
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and calmly said, “The different floors of the Star Seizing Tower cater to different customers. Although I would like to take you to higher floors for a more exquisite dining experience. However, with my status, coming to this second floor is the limit.”
As Qin Feng spoke, he maintained a calm demeanour, as if he was genuinely sorry.
Bai Wushuang blinked, her expression a mixture of amusement and scepticism, then waved her hand and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. As long as I can eat my fill.”
With that, she called over the charming girl in charge of taking orders at the Star Seizing Tower and pointed at the menu displayed on a screen, saying, “First, bring me fifty servings of Rainbow Lingering Fish.”
Qin Feng, who was sipping tea, was startled.
The charming girl hesitated slightly upon hearing this. “Are you sure you want fifty servings?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Oh boy, going straight for the most expensive dish… Qin Feng chuckled dryly. “Miss Wushuang, wouldn’t it be a bit monotonous to just have fish? Maybe we should reduce the number of servings and try some other dishes?”
“I never said that I only wanted those fifty servings of fish,” Bai Wushuang’s bright eyes seemed to shine as she ordered several additional dishes.
Qin Feng opened his mouth, knowing that this would be the result, and his expression showed a hint of resignation.
Just as he was about to ask the charming girl to place the order, there was a sudden interruption.
“Miss Wushuang is the daughter of the Sword Emperor, a distinguished guest of the Imperial City. It would be beneath her status for her to dine on the second floor of the Star Seizing Tower.”
Following the sound, Qin Feng saw a young man dressed in brocade, accompanied by a formidable guard whose golden Vigor Qi circulated within him, clearly indicating that he was a fourth class peak warrior.
This young man, Qin Feng remembered, was the same one who had acted strangely when he entered the palace to treat Anya’s curse.
This young man was none other than the current Third Prince!
The Third Prince had learned of Bai Wushuang’s whereabouts from his guards, which was why he had come here!
His gaze shifted slightly, scanning Bai Wushuang’s flat stomach under her black dress, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
But when he saw Qin Feng sitting across the table from Bai Wushuang, a flash of disgust and contempt flashed through his eyes.
Normally, when someone saw His Highness the Third Prince, they would stand up and show respect.
However, Qin Feng remained unmoved. He remembered all the previous hostility from the Third Prince, how could he show any courtesy now?
Ignoring Qin Feng’s indifference, the Third Prince restrained his expression and smiled at Bai Wushuang, “Miss Wushuang, you may not know this, but the higher you go in the Star Seizing Tower, the more exquisite the food becomes, and the ingredients are extraordinary.”
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to extend my hospitality and take you up to the sixth floor to eat.”
“Feel free to order whatever you like, and it will all be on me. There’s really no need to stoop so low as to stay with anyone on this second floor.”
As he spoke, he also cast a provocative glance at Qin Feng.
He wanted to trample on Qin Feng’s dignity in front of Bai Wushuang, hoping to win her favour and vent his resentment at the same time!
“Who are you?” Bai Wushuang asked curiously.
The fourth-class guard immediately replied, “He is His Highness, the Third Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty. He can take anyone to the sixth floor of the Star Capture Tower at will.”
Bai Wushuang unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, obviously longing for the sixth floor as well, but she shook her head and said, “It’s unnecessary. I’m fine with staying on this floor.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng unexpectedly felt a trace of emotion in his heart. This glutton actually looked at his face and refused the temptation of delicious food!
The Third Prince’s expression darkened upon hearing this. “I advise Miss Wushuang to reconsider. Don’t get too close to this person. There are many rumours circulating about you and him in the Imperial City that could damage your reputation.”
Damn, the rumours have even reached the palace… Qin Feng’s expression turned ugly, hoping that his two wives at home were still unaware of this.
The Third Prince’s intention was simple.
In ancient times, women valued their reputation, and how could a normal woman tolerate rumours with other men before even getting married?
But the result –
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that,” Bai Wushuang said indifferently, even smiling at Qin Feng.
“My reputation has been ruined by you, you have to be responsible for me.”
Everyone present was surprised.
Then Bai Wushuang added: “During my stay in Imperial City, you have to take me to eat delicious food every day as compensation.”
Qin Feng heaved a sigh of relief.
The Third Prince’s brow furrowed. Obviously, Bai Wushuang didn’t fit his idea of a typical woman…
As he kept bumping into the wall, his patience was wearing thin. He said in a deep voice, “Miss Wushuang , I kindly invited you to have a meal on the sixth floor, but you didn’t give me any face.”
“If I remember correctly, the Sword Dao Alliance came to the Imperial City to seek the Emperor’s approval to establish a branch and recruit disciples in the city.”
“Although I can’t control my father’s decision, there are ways to prevent the Sword Dao Alliance from gaining a foothold in Imperial City. For example-”
“Since it’s a martial arts school, it’s normal for people to come here for instruction. Do you understand what I mean?”
This was a blatant threat.
Qin Feng frowned, and the smile on Bai Wushuang’s face slowly faded.
She wasn’t afraid of his threats, but encountering such a disgusting fly during dinner was indeed a bit disgusting.
Immediately, her aura surged and her sword energy rippled!
The Third Prince was shocked, how could he have imagined that she would dare to attack him?
“Bold!” The guards hurriedly stepped in front of the Third Prince.
A flash of sword energy flashed, the candle flickered, and the firelight flickered slightly.
Before he could react, a strand of hair was sliced off from the side of his ear.
If she wanted to decapitate him, it would be easy!
When the third prince saw this, a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Bai Wushuang calmly said, “If His Highness wants to send someone to trouble the Sword Dao Alliance’s academy, please find some formidable individuals. As it happens, they can also help improve the reputation of the Sword Dao Alliance and establish a firm foothold in the Imperial City.”
Those who wield swords are bound to be sharp, how can they be threatened by others?
The Third Prince’s face became somewhat fierce. “Fine, very well, let’s go.”
