Devouring Soul Emperor

Chu Qingyun’s eyes shot open, a flash of anger in them.

Having his comprehension and cultivation interrupted was clearly an infuriating matter!

And when he opened the door to look, Chu Qingyun was stunned for a moment.

A large crowd had already gathered at his door.

The moment Chu Qingyun emerged, many gazes focused on him.

"So that’s Chu Qingyun. He doesn’t look like much. Why would Princess Qingyou want him as an attendant?"

"Hmph. He’s only a Third-level Martial Spirit. I really don’t know how he managed to get on this Flying Ship."

"I heard he defeated a Fourth-level Martial Spirit. He must have gotten approval from Prince Duan and the others."

Seeing Chu Qingyun, many people began to mutter amongst themselves.

Chu Qingyun himself, however, was a bit speechless and confused. ’I’ve barely even left my room these past few days. Why are so many people here today?’

Just then, a tall and very beautiful woman stepped out from the crowd.

The woman’s looks and figure were absolutely one in a million. Moreover, despite her young age, she was already an Earth Spirit Realm expert, so her Martial Dao talent must also be extremely high.

"You’re Chu Qingyun?"

The woman looked Chu Qingyun up and down, then lifted her snow-white chin slightly and said, "Defeating a Fourth-level Martial Spirit as a Third-level Martial Spirit... Although Dai Linggang’s strength is trash, it’s still enough to demonstrate your power and potential."

"Chu Qingyun, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you can last ten moves against Yin Feiyang, I’ll take you as my attendant. How about it?"

Hearing this, many of the young men around looked at Chu Qingyun with envy, as if becoming this woman’s attendant was some great fortune.

"This guy is so lucky. To think Princess Qingyou has taken a fancy to him."

"Hmph, Yin Feiyang is a Fifth-level Martial Spirit. It’d be a miracle if that kid could last ten moves!"

"If Princess Qingyou would choose me, I’d be willing to fight Yin Feiyang too."

Listening to the hushed discussions beside her, the corners of Princess Qingyou’s mouth lifted into a smug and proud smile, as if her offer for Chu Qingyun to become her attendant was a form of charity.

"Are you finished?" Chu Qingyun said, looking at Princess Qingyou with a placid expression.

Princess Qingyou was taken aback, then nodded.

"Oh. Then I refuse."

Chu Qingyun said, then shut his door with a SLAM.

’An attendant? What a joke.’

’Putting everything else aside, my status as a Spirit Level Alchemist alone puts me far beyond the likes of a mere princess, a mere Earth Spirit Realm cultivator!’

’If anything, it would make more sense for *her* to become *my* attendant.’

「Outside the door.」

Princess Qingyou stood frozen in front of Chu Qingyun’s door. Then, her fair, pretty face suddenly flushed bright red.

’I was actually rejected! Rejected by a mere Third-level Martial Spirit!’

From a young age, Princess Qingyou had been a natural beauty. As she grew up, she blossomed into a woman of peerless grace. Furthermore, she was a noble princess, the daughter of a prince, and her Martial Dao talent far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Therefore, she had been pursued and adored her entire life. Even many of the so-called geniuses from the various commanderies on this Flying Ship were eager to become her attendants.

Yet when she had taken the initiative to approach Chu Qingyun, she was flatly rejected!

What Princess Qingyou didn’t know, however, was that Chu Qingyun couldn’t care less about her bit of Martial Dao talent.

Chu Qingyun possessed a Qi Sea ten thousand meters in radius, giving him an incredibly profound Martial Dao foundation. Aided by his powerful Soul Power, he had never felt any significant barriers when breaking through, even now at the Third-level Martial Spirit Realm.

As for her so-called status as a princess, that was even less worthy of mention. Outside of the Great Xia, who would recognize her as a princess?

Even her looks, which she took the most pride in, didn’t particularly stand out in Chu Qingyun’s eyes. Compared to either Ning Xue or You Yun, she was still lacking.

On top of that, her arrogant attitude was exactly the type Chu Qingyun detested most.

So, Chu Qingyun didn’t give her any face and simply shut the door.

"Princess, please calm down. That kid is too arrogant. Should I go teach him a lesson?" Behind Princess Qingyou, a tall and distinguished-looking young man walked up to her side.

This was the Yin Feiyang that Princess Qingyou had mentioned earlier.

Yin Feiyang was at the Fifth-level Martial Spirit Realm and possessed a Tier Four Martial Soul. His achievements in Sword Technique were also extremely high. On the entire Flying Ship, aside from the few Sixth-level Martial Spirits, probably no one would dare claim they could guarantee a win against him.

Moreover, Yin Feiyang’s gaze toward Princess Qingyou was always filled with affection. It was obvious that he willingly served as her so-called attendant out of his admiration for her.

Princess Qingyou frowned, feeling that this would be letting Chu Qingyun off too easily.

Just then, some people in the crowd grew restless and eager to act.

"Your Highness, I am willing to be your attendant!"

"Princess Qingyou, I’m a Fourth-level Martial Spirit, much stronger than that Chu Qingyun! Take me as your attendant!"

"Princess, I have a Tier Four Martial Soul!"

Many people scrambled over each other, demanding to become Princess Qingyou’s attendant.

This wasn’t because they were sycophants, or because their minds were clouded by lust.

Those who were able to board the Flying Ship were all elites from the Great Xia Dragon Guard or other powerful families and factions. Naturally, they weren’t so foolish.

Their desire to become Princess Qingyou’s attendant was mainly because they wanted to join a relatively stable and powerful team.

Traversing the Blood-soaked Land was undoubtedly a very dangerous undertaking, and there was certainly more safety in numbers.

Furthermore, with a core member like Princess Qingyou in the team, its stability would be much greater.

After all, not everyone was as self-confident as Chu Qingyun.

Seeing their reactions, Princess Qingyou smiled again. She thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention.

Princess Qingyou’s eyes darted about for a moment before she suddenly announced, "Alright. The first person to defeat that Chu Qingyun, I will accept as my attendant!"

Hearing this, the faces of those in the crowd couldn’t help but change slightly.

’Causing trouble on the Flying Ship... doesn’t seem very wise...’

"Hmph. You don’t even have that much courage, yet you want to be my attendant?" Princess Qingyou snorted, her face showing a look of disdain.

Being looked down upon by a beautiful princess, some in the crowd immediately began to lose their composure.

A Fourth-level Martial Spirit was the first to step forward.

"Princess, watch closely! See how I deal with that brat named Chu Qingyun!"

With that, the man strode to the outside of Chu Qingyun’s room.

This man’s strength was actually about the same as Dai Linggang, who had been defeated by Chu Qingyun before. However, he refused to believe it, thinking there was no way a mere Third-level Martial Spirit could defeat a Fourth-level one.

CRASH!

Without another word, the man kicked Chu Qingyun’s door, smashing it to pieces!
