Shi Rong walked elegantly down the corridor when she felt a murderous gaze pierce through her body. She knitted her brows turning around towards the direction of the gaze.
Her slender eyes landed on a tall slender male wearing a luxurious purple robe. His long hair cascaded down his back as he wore an arrogant frown across his handsome face. Shi Rong instantly recognized him as 2nd prince Shi Zou.
He curved the corner of his lips into a disgusted frown.
"How are you still alive? You should be dead under the Imperial palace in a cell!"
Shi Rong stared at Shi Zou with a content expression as she stared at him with a clear calculating gaze.
Shi Zou internationally stepped forward to close the distance and said coldly. "If I remember correctly dear sister you are dead but you'reyour alive, Xiao Rong if I'm not mistaken you have followed up on your promise!"
Shi Rong smiled in reluctance and said," My dear beloved older brother are you questioning this mere weak princess identity for I have survived due to my own self reluctance and will to live."
Shi Zou smiled in reluctance. "Xiao Rong'er how did it feel to watch your mother ravished in the streets by guards and random men? I can't help but remember the look on your face when I pierced your heart with my blade my love. Such a pity the original Shi Zou came to an unfortunate end right after killing you, for he was chased and killed by a high-level world king spiritual beast! I find it faith that not only I was reincarnated but I was reincarnated as your elder brother. Now Xia Rong tell the truth I know it's you!"
Shi Rongs heart trembled, slowly clenching her hand into a fist. She then took a deep breath and relaxed.
"Qian Zou, you truly are a piece of sh*t following me over into my next life as my elder brother, under the current circumstances it will be easier to erase your lowly existence from this world."
Shi Zou laughed coldly. "Xiao Rong, you are in no position to erase me from this world at your current level in power. It'll just be too easy for me to kill you, I won't get any satisfaction from it. Therefore, I decided to give you three years to rise in power. After those three years I will come after you to kill you rather your stronger than me or weaker."
Shi Rong nodded in satisfaction. She did not expect for these turns of events but fortunate for her the heavens smiled upon this good-for-nothing body of hers to allow herself to quickly cultivate and rise to higher levels without much effort.
Shi Rongs mouth twitched, and replied nonchalantly, "Shi Zou, I, Shi Rong accept your offer and will humbly extinguish your body and soul from this world after these three years!"
Shi Zou nodded lightly then descended the hall laughing demonically.
Shi Rong took a deep breath and returned to her courtyard.
"I don't want to be disturbed for two months, I will be in intense cultivation please detour any visitors!"
Shi Rong took a deep breath and stared at the crowd of maids and guards with an intense resolve.
"Yes, Lady Rong!" echoed the guards and maids.
Two Months Later.
The Palace was in uproar at the arrival of the fourth prince from the Xiao Dragon Country, Lin Shaoze. Emperor Lin arranged for Emperor Shi to present all royal imperial daughters. Hence, his royal highness sent a handful of guards towards the princess's courtyards including the good-for-nothings Shi Rongs.
Obeying the princesses orders her personal guards and maids denied entry towards Shi Rongs courtyard to Emperor Shi's personal guards causing a loud commotion. Shi Rong slowly emerged from the courtyard after cultivating for two months and breaking through to the ranks of a mid-level Martial Emperor.
Noticing her arrival her personal guards and maids kowtowed proudly towards their master as she descended the path towards the Emperor'sEmperors personal guards.
Shi Rong smiled sweetly and innocently as she gracefully addressed the guards, "Emperor Shi must be summoning me for an important matter for him to send his personal guard thereforetherefor I shall make my way towards the Imperial Courtyard."
The guards snorted and scuffed in disdaindistain at the beautiful fairy-like woman in front of them, some even going as far to give her impure and lustful looks! Shi Rong noticed their gazes and turned her head walking towards the Imperial Courtyard as her personal guards followed closely behind her occasionally glaring at the Emperors guards for their lustful gazes towards their righteous princess. Some thinking to themselvestheir selves, "If only these fools knew how our master has risen in power in a span of two months they would neither call her a good-for-nothing or gaze at her for warmth in their bed!"
A glint flashed across Shi Rongs eyes as she stepped into the courtyard under the intense murderous gazes of her sisters, except for the 5th princess. Shi Rong immediately recognized her from her memories as 5th princess Shi Yan, who stood beside her sisters nervously crossing her fingers in front of her.
Shi Yan was always the timid good-for-nothing sister of Shi Rong who clung nervously to her good-for-nothing sister for protection due to her weak and frail body.
Shi Yan looked up at Shi Rong with soft dewy eyes as she weakly bit her bottom lip.
"Eldest sister Rong, I have been heavily worried about you!"
Shi Rongs face was visibly upset upon hearing Shi Yan's words. Even though she wasn't the original inhabitant of her current body, her frail sister's expression was enough to pull at her heart causing her lip to tremble slightly.
Shi Rong approached her frail weak sister as she stepped behind her, hiding behind Shi Rongs luxurious red robes. Burying her red fairy like face into her back and clutching weakly to her sleeves, as she breathed weakly to keep her body standing.
Shi Rong knitted her brows at the sight of her pathetic meek sister and glared across her three other sisters before her cold gaze landed on Emperor Shi.
Emperor Shi trembled slightly but quickly adjusted himself as the 4th Prince Lin Shaoze walked elegantly across the lineup of princesses as his luxuriously golden robes swayed in the wind. He fanned his delicate feminine face with a fan as he eyed the princesses. His face was far more beautiful than any man Shi Rong has ever laid eyes on. One can say he was even more beautiful than any woman in all the lands, as his very gaze can destroy nations and tempt monsters into falling into his grasp.
Lin Shaoze stopped in front Shi Rong and Shi Yan then sneered. "Truly Emperor Shi are these the only daughters you have to offer, three ugly daughters, a beautiful good-for-nothing and a beautifulbeautifly weak frail child. I'd happily bed the three ugly daughters, but the weak frail child is of no use to any royal family with her body…...at least the good-for-nothing has a face I wouldn't mind standing by my side, but it wouldn't be proudly for I need a strong bride!"
Emperor Shi was stunned and marched towards the 1st, 2nd and 4th princess. "Shi Yin, Shi Tian and Shi Yue must you three come in the presence of the 4th Prince of the Xiao Dragon Country Lin Shaoze without face in such a terrible state. Have you no shame for your appearance! Shi Yan must you hide behind the good-for-nothing with your weak frail appearance. I shall have no sympathy for a sickly daughter like you with no benefits. Shi Rong…."
"Emperor Shi must you speak so lowly of my sickly sister Shi Yan, have you no face for even a weak child!" Shi Rong shook her head in disappointment, with a disapproving tone in her voice. "Must you only think about benefits or is that what factors the value of our lives to you! If so than I rather not deal with anything of the sort in your eyes, but if you shall have my poor sister discarded for her weak value than I will not simply stand idly by!"
Emperor Shi was momentarily stunned and turned towards the young girl's calm visage.
Emperor Shi's face turned from red to white, wishing that he could deal this good-for-nothing a slap so powerful it will kill her a thousand times over!
Just then a low soft chuckle was heard, drawing the attention of everyone including Shi Rong.
Lin Shaoze chuckled lightly behind his golden phoenix fan as he eyed Shi Rong.
"Little girl do you not fear the consequences for shamelessly yelling at your father in front of a very important guest?" Lin Shaoze elegantly closed his fan and stared at Shi Rong. His features were soft and delicate with soft black almond eyes, immediately causing the other princesses to sigh in admiration completely ignoring his previous insults.
"My apologizes," Shi Rong shrugged her shoulders. "I seemed to have mistaken you for an arrogant prince from a weak royal family, who casually sprouts nonsense upon your displeasure."
Emperor Shi nearly lost control, dearly wishing to severely beat this good-for-nothing.
