The next day, Xian Wu was awakened from his slumber. As he opened his eyes, he could still remember that he dreamed of meeting a beautiful girl.
That girl has a familiar face. She look similar to Concubine Gu. In that dream, the girl kissed him, and he also kissed her. After that, they felt the heat of the moment, and eventually slept together.
"Did I just have a dirty dream?"
"What dirty dream?"
"I dreamt of a girl. The girl kissed me, and I kissed back. After that, we ended up sleeping together."
"Who is that girl?"
"I don't know. I only see that she look like Concubine Gu."
"She look similar to me?"
"Yes...huh!?"
At this moment, Xian Wu slowly looked at his side, only to saw the concubine lying beside him, naked. She used his left hand as her pillow. On her face was a smile, and some red shade, out of embarrassment.
Xian Wu looked around, and found out that he was naked. Without him knowing, he and the lady are sleeping on her bed.
"Did we do..."
"Yes."
"F@#k! Am I in trouble?"
"Yes."
Xian Wu was sweating bullets. How could he do this again? On top of it, it was with one of King Qin's concubines. Did he sleep walked during the night? My God! I'm incurable!
"Your highness...this..."
"Are you going to say, you didn't meant to do it with me?"
"No. I mean yes...argh! What am I saying."
Xian Wu was lost for an answer. Seeing him being like that making the concubine sigh. It was not entirely his fault. To begin with, she was the one who started the act. It just, she was embarrassed to own up to it.
"Just go. My maids will come any time soon." The concubine stood up and draped her body with a blanket. She pointed at the messy clothes on the floor, and said, "Your clothes are over there."
Xian Wu silently nodded and took his clothes. After that, he wears it and about to leave. Then he stopped. He turned back and approached the lady. As he looked at her, he could vaguely see the outline of her curvaceous body through the thin blanket. He then hugged her, and kissed her.
She kissed back and draped her hands on his neck, causing the blanket to fall on the floor. Her stunning body was once again appeared in Xian Wu's eyes. It caused him to involuntarily tighten his embrace.
Knock! Knock!
"Your highness, we are here."
At this moment, a maid knocked on the door. Hearing them causing the concubine to push away Xian Wu. She said to him, "Go now."
Xian Wu felt a sense of lost and disappointment after getting cut in the middle of kissing a beauty. However, he also know that this is not the time to enjoy the intimate feeling.
He hugged her for one last time, give her a peck on her lips, and whispered to her, "Your Highness, You should go cultivate after this. I'm sure you will be surprised."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry that I did those dirty act to you. But, I promise you. You will benefit from sleeping with me."
After that, Xian Wu walked away, and escaped through the window of the room.
Concubine Gu looked at his back in a daze. Many question was on her head and mostly regarding that young man.
...
Xian Wu who just left the chamber was on his way to escape the palace. While he was running, he checked his body. Just last night, he was wounded seriously. As he checked his wound, he was surprised to saw that it was already healed, leaving only some scabs at the former place of the wound.
Did the medicine applied by that lady has a miraculous recovery? Or Did his body have that recovery effect after eating the Fortune Fruit? Or Is this recovery ability have something to do with him having slept with the concubine?
All of that were something that Xian Wu thought to have some relation to why his wound healed so fast.
No longer caring about that, he headed towards a place. This is the place where he his his killing weapon. This place is also the chamber of his assassination target. When he entered the chamber, the dead body is no longer there. He knew that the Royal family is about to bury the dead Qin Hung.
After retrieving his sword, bow and quiver, he left the room.
At this time, many Qin Royal family was heading out and gathering in the open space. This space is inside the Royal Assembly Hall. The King Qin has ordered everyone inside the Royal Palace to gather here. This is regarding the incident that happened last night.
As everyone was walking towards the hall, Xian Wu saw two guard escorting a trembling maid towards the hall. The maid was the young girl who was together with him as they run away last night.
'She didn't manage to run away huh.'
Xian Wu could see many wound on her body. It look to be inflicted by a whip. Should I rescue her? But how?
Xian Wu didn't want to cause too much commotion in the daylight. At that moment, he saw the Seventh Prince, Qin Li. He just came out and was following a young girl to the hall. As they walked, Qin Li attempted to flirt with the girl.
Ah, you came out as soon as I wanted some way to rescue a damsel in distress. Xian Wu smiled widely.
"Cousin Qing, are you free today? Why not we go for a sightseeing around the market in the capital?"
"Your highness Seventh Prince, I'm not interested to go sightseeing. Besides, I have the obligation to hunt down the assassin that lurking in the palace. After the assembly, I will be joining the hunting troops to search for that assassin."
"You are correct on that. Then, I should also join the hunting troops. We could go together while we are hunting."
"Seventh Prince, I'm not trying to be rude. However, I must say that your cultivation level is too low. As a cultivator in the peak of Step Disciple realm, you focus at the moment should be on improving your cultivation, and breakthrough to the Step Master's realm."
Qin Li felt dejected as he received too much rebuke from the girl named Qin Qing.
Psshiu! Zup!
At the next moment, an arrow flashed by and shot through the head of Prince Qin Li. The arrow was too fast that it instantly passed through, and entered deep into the ground not too far from the Seventh Prince. After a moment, the prince dropped to the ground lifelessly.
"Assassin!"
Qin Qing froze on where she was standing for a moment. After that, she shouted loudly. "Seventh Prince was killed!"
Hearing that, everyone looked back at the dead Seventh Prince. They were frightened as they saw bloods and some white matters oozes out of his head.
The guards that escorting the wounded maid also looked back. When the saw someone was dead, they become alert. The hurriedly took out their weapon and guarded the maid. However, they were horrified to see that the made quietly vanished in their mids.
Shhing!!
A sword cut was slashed, causing the head of the two guards to roll on the grounds. As Xian Wu made the attack, he was momentarily visible to the eyes of the surrounding people.
"The assassin is there. Look he is running towards the tree...Huh!? He vanished!!"
"Ah! He killed two guards!"
"Go after him! Capture that assassin!"
Everyone were horrified by the death of the three men, and started acting panicky.
At this time, a heavy pressure arrived at the place. In an instant, a middle-aged man arrived by air. He was enveloped by an incredible aura. On his head, there is the King Crown. This man is King Qin. He looked at everyone with a sharp eyes.
King Qin arrived at the side of his dead son. Seeing him no longer breathing, an even more pressure come out of his body. He was enraged!
Someone is doing the assassination right in his turf, and his people didn't even manage to catch the assassin.
He scanned through everyone with a sharp gaze. He checked for anyone suspicious. However, no one seems to be suspicious.
Did the assassin already managed to run away? Or did he disguise himself as another person?
"Guards, lock down the palace." King Qin commanded every guards to lock the place. As for him, he is taking thing on his hands. Using his high cultivation, he released a scanning aura that washed into his surrounding area. This aura waved away and reached till some kilometers away from the Royal Palace.
A moment later, the aura vanished. However, the King didn't find any trace of the assassin in the area of his detection. Did the assassin managed to run away that fast? Or does he have some kind of mystical object that help him hide from his Step Emperor level of detection?
...
The death of two people inside the Qin Royal Palace stirred a big uproar. King Qin ordered everyone to be on alert of a certain assassin. He also ordered to put a bounty on the guy who killed his brother, and his son.
When Xian Wu killed the prince, he was visible for a time, which let some people to see him. These people was ordered by the King to describe the face of the assassin, and a well-known artist draw the face of the assassin according to the description. Miraculously, the drawing was almost identical to Xian Wu's real face.
After that, many posters of Xian Wu with a sky high bounty were distributed out of the palace. Everyone saw the face of the young man who was depicted with an evil smile. This made everyone subconsciously see the man behind the poster to be a real villain.
Another uproar also happened in the Li family estate. This is because, a certain leader of slave merchants have seen this face before.
"Is not this guy the one we almost sent to the Qin noble family? How did he suddenly turned into a notorious assassin that entered the Royal Palace?" Li Zhang was greatly alerted when he saw the poster.
"Will my family get in trouble if the Qin Royal Family knew that I'm the one who brought that guy into this kingdom?" Li Zhang was feeling troubled by the matter. "No, I'm in trouble.The assassin already knew me. He might come to cause trouble for me."
At this time, Pai Li run towards Li Zhang. "Boss, we might be in trouble. Look at this poster."
"I already saw that." Li Zhang said.
Before Pai Li managed to hand over the poster, he saw Li Zhang already holding onto a similar poster.
"So, boss you already know this poster." Pai Li folded the poster and stuffed to his pocket. As he did that, he felt another piece of paper inside. Suddenly, he remembered another thing.
"Boss, actually there are another matter that I forget to tell you."
"What is it?"
"During the time I brought the empty carriage a few days ago, someone knocked me unconscious. After I woke up, I found this paper inside my pocket." As Pai Li said that, he handed a piece of paper to Li Zhang.
Li Zhang took the paper and read it. A moment later, his face turned dark in anger.
"LI GUO! YOU DOG BASTARD!"
