I asked, "Can we still have fun?"
The question now is, why would an assassin suddenly appear to try and kill the Third Prince?
Putting aside the fact that His Highness the Third Prince had a bad reputation before, with that kind of image that everyone despised, who would care about him?
What good would it do to assassinate him?
What impact could it have on the Qin Empire?
What? This assassin is from the Noah Empire of the Western Continent? And the order came from the Church of Light?
The reason?
Just because our Third Prince is a necromancer?
Holy crap, the Holy See of Light is overstepping its bounds! What business does it have of theirs what our Third Prince chooses to do with his profession?
No, we must get an explanation from the Western Continent, or we will not rest until we have done it...
After all, for the common people of the Great Qin Empire, things are not so much about right and wrong. Many of them do not know that Qin Feng is completely different from before, and many do not even know that Qin Feng has shown unprecedented strength. The Third Prince is still the same as they remember him, and he will not change anytime soon.
But after seeing or hearing about the Noah Empire's assassination attempt on the Third Prince, the entire capital was filled with indignation!
After all, no matter how bad the Third Prince is or how bad his reputation is, he is still the Third Prince of my Great Qin Empire. How dare you, a bunch of Western barbarians, point fingers at him?
And they even sent someone specifically to assassinate him?
When did it become your place to decide the affairs of our Great Qin Empire?
No one would feel comfortable or think it was normal for such a serious interference with imperial sovereignty. So, with the emperor's tacit approval and the instigation of some people, the matter quickly ignited a huge storm!
The people of Qin spontaneously organized marches and protests, and even directly refused to accept or buy goods from the Western Continent. Even the people of the Western Continent have been on edge these days, because they never know when a few people will suddenly jump out and point their fingers at them and curse them incessantly.
However, the protests by ordinary citizens were probably ineffective, because the Noah Empire, located on the other side of the continent, felt no pain whatsoever, and therefore did not react in the short term...
Well, there's nothing we can do to react, because they've already evacuated all the important figures from their office in the Qin Empire, and those who aren't so important are being detained and interrogated!
On the other hand, at the Mass two days later, the Pope of Light made a rare public appearance and openly declared that Qin Feng, the third prince of the Great Qin Empire, was a remnant of the Holy War twenty years ago, the only heir of the Kelvin family, and the most filthy and despicable lineage of necromancers in the world, and must be purified!
Then the Pope of Light called on the world to launch a new holy war against the Qin Empire...
The fact that they even used the term "holy war" shows just how furious His Holiness the elderly Pope of Light is about this matter!
Especially since the assassination attempt failed, the most crucial point is that the Holy See has now confirmed that the Third Prince Qin Feng not only possesses the strength of the tenth rank, but may also be far stronger than other tenth rank experts on the continent. The Holy See is now completely powerless to eliminate Qin Feng, who is far away and is the third prince of the Great Qin Empire!
Unless the Western and Eastern continents completely break into war, and the Holy Crusaders of the Papacy march all the way to the capital of the Qin Empire!
But how is this possible?
Even if the Papacy wanted to drag the entire Western Continent down with it, the other countries aren't fools, right?
However, what angered His Holiness the Pope the most was the Darwin family's special method of inheritance. Just like when Cowen Kelvin was about to die, he decisively passed on his strength to his granddaughter Charlene. Charlene then became the number one expert in the Western Continent and completely inherited Cowen's necromancy, which also gave the Papacy a headache!
And now she has actually used this method to pass on her bloodline to her son Qin Feng!
Damn it, why don't I know this kind of inheritance technique? If I could pass on my power to that good-for-nothing son, who would dare to say anything about the position of the next pope?
Oops... I think I accidentally revealed the truth!
Regardless, the Pope's words uncontrollably stirred up a huge storm across the entire continent. Not only did the countries belonging to the Western Continent's Papacy take sides and condemn the Great Qin Empire, demanding that it hand over its clumsy performance as a 'remnant of the Holy War', but many countries on the Eastern Continent also echoed his sentiments!
But there was nothing that could be done about it. The relationship between the Qin Empire and its neighboring countries had never been very good due to territorial disputes!
Just like the first one to jump out was the Weinan Empire. More than 300 years ago, it was the Yue Nan Territory belonging to the Han Empire, the predecessor of the Qin Empire. Although it successfully gained independence, the Qin Empire subsequently took back 70% of the territory of the Yue Nan Territory. This not only resulted in the Weinan Empire's current territory being very long and narrow with no depth, but also severely limited its national development. Therefore, the Weinan Empire has always wanted to reclaim the original Yue Nan Territory.
Moreover, they also had serious conflicts with the Qin Empire over their shared maritime rights, even engaging in a fierce war in which the Weinan Empire suffered another major defeat...
Chapter 88: Chang'e, Athena, Himiko
In this situation, the Weinan Empire was naturally happy to gloat and fan the flames. They immediately issued a statement expressing their support for the position of the Holy See and their willingness to provide support to some 'holy warriors' in the Western Continent!
Moreover, there are several other countries that have done the same thing as the Weinan Empire. Fortunately, they are only a minority in the Eastern Continent, since most countries in the Eastern Continent are unwilling to get involved with the Western Church.
On the one hand, religion is troublesome, especially since most countries in the Eastern Continent have their own beliefs, so how could they possibly follow the Western Church of Light?
On the other hand, the antagonism between the East and West continents has a long history, which is also due to the West continent's long-standing policies towards the East continent. Therefore, no one is willing to become the lackeys and cannon fodder of the West continent people.
Therefore, most of the countries in the Eastern Continent chose to remain silent on this matter; I will not speak, I will only observe.
So, those who can stand up and speak up for the Qin Empire at this time are the true friends, aren't they?
Believe it or not, there really are, and more than one...
The first to step forward was the Rangxi Empire in the north of the Eastern Continent. It solemnly expressed its support for the Qin Empire and directly told the world that if the Western Continent dared to use any religious pretext to interfere in the Eastern Continent, the Rangxi Empire would join forces with the Qin Empire to show them what it meant to flee in terror!
These words from the Rhea Empire carried great weight, and no one dared to disregard them. It should be noted that before the emergence of the Han Empire, the predecessor of the Qin Empire, the Rhea Empire was the most powerful country in the Eastern Continent, occupying the largest territory and possessing the largest population. The Rhea Empire had even created a history of expeditionary forces that swept through the heart of the Western Continent.
Although the Xi Empire was later defeated in the struggle for supremacy in the Eastern Continent, it is still the second most powerful country in the Eastern Continent. Its territory is only slightly smaller than that of the Qin Empire. As for its military strength, that is even more hard to say!
Having read this far, you might understand that the Xi Empire has always been the Qin Empire's biggest rival in the Eastern Continent!
Isn't it hilarious that the enemy would stand up and support them so steadfastly at this time?
But what astonished the world even more was the Inazuma Empire. Everyone on the continent knew that the war between the Inazuma Empire and the Qin Empire had been raging for years, a life-or-death struggle. Yet, at this very moment, the Inazuma Empress herself stepped forward and declared that the Inazuma Empire sided with the Qin Empire! (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
What... is going on?
However, as various countries on the mainland gradually expressed their opinions, the chain reaction triggered by this incident grew larger and larger, and the truth of the matter gradually came to light!
More than twenty years ago, the Holy See of the West launched a campaign to annihilate Kelvin, the strongest human being. In that brutal war, which the Holy See called the 'Glorious Holy War', the first undead family perished, and in the end, only the granddaughter Charlene Kelvin escaped the huge family.
Later, Xia Lin was rescued by Qin Ziming, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and eventually married Qin Ziming, becoming the empress of the Great Qin Empire. She gave birth to a son and a daughter, namely the second princess Qin Lan and the third prince Qin Feng.
In order to continue the undead bloodline of the Kelvin family and to lower the guard of the Holy See, the Third Prince Qin Feng had to bear the slander and insults of the world from a young age... Everyone said he was a good-for-nothing idiot and a lecherous wretch. Everyone thought that the Third Prince was the Creator God's punishment for the number one undead family. Everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself, even the Holy See!
But unbeknownst to everyone, the Third Prince Qin Feng had finally endured humiliation and completed the full inheritance of the Kelvin family bloodline, completely transforming himself and becoming the youngest tenth-tier expert on the continent!
Even after the Holy See realized what was happening, the tenth-tier assassin they sent to kill the Third Prince was ultimately outmaneuvered by the Third Prince using necromancy...
No wonder the Pope of Light was so angry!
After all, the Eastern Continent is not the Western Continent. The Eastern Continent has many countries and its area is much larger than that of the Western Continent. Moreover, the influence of the Western Church here is almost negligible. What can the Western Church do besides send a few assassins when faced with its thorn in the side?
Is it possible that they will actually send troops to launch a holy war?
Don't be ridiculous. The population of the Western Continent's countries is not even a fraction of that of the Eastern Continent. If war breaks out between the two continents, the Western Continent will probably soon have a different master!
In an instant, Qin Feng, the third prince of the Great Qin Empire, became a prominent figure on the continent. Everyone was talking about his story, and he suddenly became the protagonist of a very inspiring story... He endured hardship and made a comeback, which perfectly describes him!
Especially for the people of the Great Qin Empire, if they were previously confused about why the Holy Light Church wanted to assassinate the Third Prince, now that the truth has come out, everyone is instantly furious. Because of the Holy Light Church, our Third Prince has suffered so many years of infamy and humiliation for no reason!
And because of your Holy Light Church, our Third Prince has never enjoyed a normal life in all his years!
It is even because of your Holy Light Church that our Third Prince will have to face assassins and various holy war fanatics who may appear at any time!
Therefore, starting today, we must boycott the Holy See nationwide and, more importantly, ban its missionaries!
These barbarian tribes of the Western Continent must know that the Eastern Continent, especially the Great Qin Empire, is not to be trifled with!
But compared to the massive storms and disturbances sweeping the outside world, the life of the Third Prince Qin Feng, the protagonist, has been unusually peaceful these past few days...
Despite encountering a female assassin, which enraged the old emperor, who then not only strengthened the guards of the Royal Military Academy but also dispatched almost all the palace maids from Maple Forest Garden to guard Qin Feng, any move Qin Feng made would alarm many people. Even going to class required him to be surrounded by a large entourage, which was quite inconvenient. So he simply stopped moving.
In the mornings, Qin Feng usually cultivates in his dormitory. He only goes to listen to General Bai's classes occasionally. However, even when he is in class, he mainly spends time with Bai Zhiwei and the others, and then finds an opportunity to secretly get intimate. In the afternoons, Qin Feng meditates, which is nothing special.
As for the evenings, Qin Feng needed to appease and satisfy the palace maids he had thoroughly "developed," and then continue to cultivate his contracted beauties...
In a way, it's quite an accomplishment. It's like Bai Zhiwei is now inhabited by Athena's soul, so when Qin Feng holds her and tries all sorts of things, he can't help but think that he's doing whatever he wants to Athena, the goddess of victory.
Then there's Himiko inside Kaori Yoda's body, who is the first queen of Japan...
Fortunately, Qin Feng continued to treat Yu Wanlin every day, and with his and Hu Xiafei's tireless efforts, Yu Wanlin finally succeeded in lighting up Chang'e Star!
Accompanied by the familiar glow of the magic circle, little Yu Wanlin was finally completely transformed...
After the light faded, looking at her daughter who had fallen back to the ground, and seeing her transformed body—not only had she begun to develop, but she was also completely free of her previous sickly complexion—Hu Xiafei couldn't help but rush over to her, asking, "Wanlin, how are you feeling now?"
"Very good!" Thanks to the power of the Beauty Painting and Chang'e's transformation, all of Yu Wanlin's physical ailments have been swept away. She has not only become a normal girl, but she also has great potential in cultivation!
But most importantly, Yu Wanlin has not only recovered her physical health, but also, thanks to Chang'e's influence, has transformed into a true seventeen-year-old girl, with considerable physical development. Qin Feng will naturally want to further 'develop' her body!
Then, of course, Hu Xiafei, the mother, couldn't be absent. Everyone had gotten used to this by now, so what followed was nothing more than another joyful mother-daughter double flight. Qin Feng, wielding his "big sword," was thoroughly enjoying himself as he explored the mother and daughter's bodies...
Chapter 89: Shirley Voluntarily Becomes a Female Slave to Save Her Mother
Unexpectedly, the next morning, the old emperor sent someone to summon Qin Feng back to the palace, saying that he had important matters to discuss with him.
But just as Qin Feng's carriage left the Royal Military Academy, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, and the convoy immediately stopped.
Fortunately, after a short while, Xia Ming and Qiu Xiang escorted an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl into the carriage, and judging from her blonde hair and appearance, she was clearly from the Western Continent.
……
Sherry (SR): A citizen of the Noah Empire, daughter of Nataya.
Attributes: Attack +10000, Defense +10000, Health +100000, Mana +10000. Mei, are you free, Lin? Are you here?
Contract Bonus (Uncontracted): Critical Hit +3%, Accuracy +3%, Evasion +3%.
……
Okay, so this girl is actually the daughter of Nataya, the female assassin who tried to assassinate Qin Feng last time...
Her purpose in coming to find Qin Feng was simple, of course not to continue assassinating him. After all, even her mother couldn't do it, so there was no need for her to!
She came to beg Qin Feng...
This is because when Nataya came to carry out the assassination mission, she had actually considered the possibility of failure, so she arranged for her husband and daughter to leave the capital of Qin beforehand.
But she didn't know that her husband and daughter, worried about her, secretly slipped back. Sure enough, as soon as they returned, they heard the news that Nataya's assassination attempt had failed, and then they learned that she had been arrested by the Imperial Capital Special Guard and imprisoned!
Originally, although Nataya's assassination attempt on the third prince of the Great Qin Empire was indeed excessive, the Noah Empire was, after all, subject to and obeyed the Church of Light, and had no choice but to obey. Therefore, if the Noah Empire could come out and explain, even without making it public, as long as they sent someone privately to explain their predicament to the Great Qin Empire and sincerely apologized, there was a possibility that the matter could be resolved!
After all, the Third Prince Qin Feng didn't die, and there were no losses whatsoever...
So if they operate properly, they might be able to find a way to rescue Nataya; at worst, they'll just have to pay a higher price.
The problem is, for some reason, the Noah Empire seems to have completely forgotten about Nataya's existence. Not only did it not offer any assistance, but after the matter was fully exposed, the Noah Empire not only failed to admit any of its mistakes, but also continued to publicly side with the Holy See and strongly condemn the Qin Empire for harboring remnants of the Holy War...
Under these circumstances, Nataya's fate was naturally predictable!
If nothing unexpected happens, she will probably spend the rest of her life in the dungeon, or even worse, she might die unexpectedly at any time. After all, the prison is a complex society with many things that cannot be discussed openly.
Fortunately, Nataya's husband had been in the capital of the Great Qin for several years and had already obtained a relatively formal identity. In addition, he had no official relationship with the Noah Empire, so as long as it was not revealed that he was Nataya's husband, most people did not make things too difficult for him. At most, they would give him a hard look and conduct various strict interrogations because of the assassination of the Third Prince.
But these are all minor issues. His only headache right now is how to smooth things over with officials of all ranks and how to get his wife out!
He has tried many methods in the past few days, but unfortunately he can only run into obstacles everywhere. On the one hand, this matter is still in the spotlight, and on the other hand, Nataya is the assassin who tried to assassinate the Third Prince. Even His Majesty the Emperor is very angry. Who would dare to make a decision on this matter on their own?
Are you out of your mind?!
Forget about helping to rescue people, you can't even plead for them on their behalf!
Sherry, despite her young age, is far smarter than her father. She knows that talking to anyone else in this situation is useless. The one who tied the knot must untie it. Since the Third Prince was assassinated, the matter must be resolved by the Third Prince!
Unfortunately, as a foreigner, she definitely couldn't get into a place like the Royal Military Academy, so she could only wait at the entrance. After all, Qin Feng, being the Third Prince, would eventually come out!
So, today, after seeing Qin Feng's royal carriage emerge from the military academy, she rushed up to it without saying a word...
"You want me to release your mother?" Qin Feng was both amused and exasperated. "Miss Shirley, although I pity your plight and sympathize with your pain of losing your mother, but... the person who assassinated your mother was none other than myself. Aren't you overthinking things by coming to me?"
"As long as Your Highness is willing to release my mother, I am willing to do anything for the Third Prince, even if you want my life right now!"
"What would I do with your life?" Qin Feng waved his hand dismissively. "Your body might still hold some appeal for me, but your life... forget it, it's worthless to me!"
"I..." Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Shirley's reaction was peculiar. She immediately stood up, and without a word, stripped off all her clothes in front of Qin Feng, then knelt naked before him. "If Your Highness is willing to spare my mother, I am willing to offer my body to the Third Prince, even if it means becoming his concubine!"
"..."
Well, perhaps it's still because of the 'illustrious reputation' that the Third Prince Qin Feng left behind. Even though everyone has a new opinion about the Third Prince now because of the assassination incident, the old ideas are hard to shake off in a short time.
So Shirley still believed that Qin Feng was the kind of man who would risk his life for a woman, so she tried to make a deal with him using her body, and then... she succeeded!
cough cough...
There was no way around it; Qin Feng had never been with a blonde, blue-eyed, genuine foreign woman before!
Back on Earth, he was just a nobody, avoiding everyone around him. He'd never even dated a girl from his own country, let alone a foreign woman. The only thing he could get into was those kinds of adult films, like those featuring woodpeckers—you know what I mean…
So he can only fantasize about high-class women like foreign girls. Although Qin Feng may not actually like foreign girls due to his aesthetic sense, there are some things that he really wants to try when he doesn't have them.
Qin Feng is now not only handsome, rich, and powerful, but also a prince of a vast empire. Most importantly, he now has enough resources and strength to conquer all kinds of women, whether they are local, Japanese, or foreign. As long as there is an opportunity, Qin Feng will definitely not give it up!
So Qin Feng was very tempted by Sherry's suggestion. On the one hand, Sherry was quite beautiful, after all, she was an SR-level beauty. Especially looking at her figure, which was something only foreign women could have, especially the clean and tender mound between her legs, Qin Feng finally nodded without any hesitation, "Since you are so sincere, then we...deal!"
