Chapter 151: Chapter 135: Great Ambition, But Uncertain If The Strength Matches

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Pengthian was the Great General of the Sky Wolf King’s tribe and also a candidate for the Sky Wolf King.

At this time, Lu Chen dared to let him return to the Sky Wolf King’s tribe, something Yelv Nanyan could never have imagined.

The audacity of the North Prince really didn’t seem like something a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old child could possess, and for a moment, Yelv Nanyan’s gaze involuntarily followed Lu Chen’s figure, unable to move away.

Honestly, Yelv Nanyan didn’t have much confidence in Xiao Pengthian; now that the Sky Wolf King had died in battle and she, as the core of power in the Sky Wolf King’s tribe, had been taken away by the North Prince.

Once Xiao Pengthian returned to the Sky Wolf King’s tribe, he would be the next center of power.

He could very well lead the Sky Wolf King’s tribe away from the North Land or choose to join the North Fre King’s tribe, refusing to relocate to North City.

Daring to release Xiao Pengthian back to the Sky Wolf King’s tribe at this time took a kind of audacity not just anyone could muster.

Yelv Nanyan saw absolute confidence in Lu Chen.

This young man was the most confident and audacious man she had ever seen!

Xiao Wenyao came back to her senses at this moment, and she cautiously asked, “Uncle, does the North Prince plan to let you go back?”

Xiao Pengthian nodded and said, “The North Prince has entrusted me with the responsibility of relocating the tribe to North City.”

Yelv Nanyan’s eyes moved away from Lu Chen, and she looked at Xiao

Pengthian, saying, “General Xiao, it seems the North Prince holds you in high regard.”

On hearing Yelv Nanyan’s words, Xiao Pengthian felt a mix of emotions.

He gave a wry smile and said, “I suppose that’s an honor.

With that, Xiao Pengthian looked at Xiao Wenyao and reminded her, “Yaoyao, the North Prince Mansion is not a royal court; when you get there, you can no longer be as wilful as before.”

Xiao Pengthian knew of Xiao Wenyao’s penchant for mistreating slaves – a practice that, within the royal courts, would not garner any criticism.

But the North Prince Mansion was different; it was populated by people of Great Sum, and even the maids and servants were from Great Sum, while Xiao Wenyao was merely a hostage from the Barbarian Tribe. If she continued to mistreat the servants as she used to, she might very well provoke the North Prince.

Xiao Wenyao said, “Don’t worry, Uncle, I know what to do.

In her heart, Xiao Wenyao had already resigned herself to being the North Prince’s slave, and with her past experience of having so many slaves, she naturally knew how a slave should behave.

After reminding Xiao Wenyao, Xiao Pengthian then looked at Yelv Nanyan and said, “Madam, take care!”

As his voice faded, Xiao Pengthian turned and walked towards where the Barbarian Tribe elders were located.

Seeing Xiao Pengthian’s return, seemingly also having recovered his strength, the elders of the Barbarian Tribe were extremely excited for a moment. Unbidden, some undue thoughts arose in their hearts, but Xiao Pengthian’s words promptly chilled the elders.

Elders, I have pledged my loyalty to the North Prince, and I will take full responsibility for the relocation to North City.”

The High Priest sighed, turned, and said, “Let’s go, prepare to go back.

He didn’t want to say more; the Sky Wolf King’s tribe was already on a path of no return, and Xiao Pengthian’s return could do nothing to change that.

Now the North Fre King was probably already leading his army all over the North Land in search of them, and even though Xiao Pengthian had returned, their tribe’s small numbers were no match for a direct confrontation with the North Fre King.

Moving south was their only way to avoid the North Fre King.

Or they could directly join the North Fre King’s tribe.

However, most people from the Sky Wolf King’s tribe likely would not join the North Fre King’s tribe.

Under Yelv Nanyan’s leadership over the years, the lifestyle and habits of the Sky Wolf King’s tribe had become more aligned with those of Great Sum, whereas the North Fre King’s tribe was still one that had not fully civilized.

Of course, there were those who still preferred the life on the grasslands.

Upon hearing the High Priest’s words, everyone fell silent. On the way back to their tribe, no one spoke a word. On the grasslands where the north wind howled, only the sound of the wind and horse hooves could be heard.

Meanwhile.

Lu Chen also set off for home with Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

On the journey, Lu Chen often found himself attracted to Yelv Nanyan, wanting to deal with her during their rest stops.

Yelv Nanyan’s mature beauty had an extremely powerful effect on men, and Lu Chen found that even though he had reached the Master Realm, he struggled to control himself in front of her.

Yelv Nanyan’s ability to maintain her integrity for decades within the Barbarian Tribe earned Lu Chen’s deep respect.

If Yelv Nanyan had not been using some skill or strength, she could not have preserved her integrity for so many years within a Barbarian Tribe.

Fortunately, Lu Chen always had his personal guard Bai Qingqing by his side. Whenever he felt he couldn’t control himself, he would go and chat with Bai Qingqing to cultivate their relationship.

Even though Yelv Nanyan now belonged to Lu Chen, and he could completely possess her, they were still on the road home. Lu Chen elected to wait until they reached Yan County so his servants could properly take care of Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao first.

Before long.

Lu Chen and his entourage finally arrived at Yan County.

When the common folk of Yan County saw that Lu Chen had brought back the wife and daughter of the Sky Wolf King, they were ecstatic.

In the eyes of the common folk, the North Prince had not only conquered the Sky Wolf King’s tribe but also subdued the Sky Wolf King’s women.

Although this thought was somewhat indecent, for the simple commoners, it was indeed a very thrilling affair.

In the past, it had always been the Barbarians coming south to snatch women from Great Sum, and now their Prince had finally vented some spleen and captured the Sky Wolf King’s women and daughter.

The idea of the North Prince fiercely tormenting the Sky Wolf King’s women and daughter every night gave the common people great satisfaction.

Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, riding their horses, felt somewhat at a loss as they watched the cheering common folk on both sides of Yan County.

The reason the common people were cheering was because the North Prince had brought the two women with him, which immediately made them feel humiliated.

Fortunately, it was not long before they reached the North Prince Mansion.

When Lu Chen rode back to the North Prince Mansion, Mu Zixuan had already been waiting with Great Xiaozhou and Little Xiaozhou at the mansion’s gateway.

The Brocade Guard had long since informed Mu Zixuan of Lu Chen’s return with two women, so she had arranged rooms for Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao in advance, and also prepared some maids and servants for them.

After dismounting his horse, Mu Zixuan immediately approached, “Prince, you’ve returned.”

Lu Chen gave a slight smile, then spoke, “This half-month, with your lordship away from the Prince’s Mansion, you have managed everything on your own. You’ve worked hard.”

Mu Zixuan replied, “It’s this concubine’s duty, not at all difficult.

At that moment, Mu Zixuan turned her head towards Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

With a beaming smile, Mu Zixuan asked, “Prince, are these the two women that you had the Brocade Guard send a message to this concubine about?”

Lu Chen turned his head towards Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, then introduced them to Mu Zixuan, “This is the wife of the Sky Wolf King, and this is the Sky Wolf King’s daughter.”

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan immediately went up to Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

Yelv Nanyan promptly said, “I’ve seen the princess.

When a princess meets a princess, there’s generally no need for such formalities, but Yelv Nanyan knew her status was no different from that of a prisoner. If she wanted to have a good life in the North Prince Mansion in the future, she had to get along well with the wife of the North Prince.

Seeing Yelv Nanyan paying her respects, the slow to react Xiao Wenyao quickly followed suit and said, “I’ve seen the princess.”

Mu Zixuan smiled slightly and then, holding the jade hands of Yelv Nanyan and

Xiao Wenyao, said, “You two need not be so formal. From now on, we are family.”

Then something seemed to occur to Mu Zixuan, who then asked, “Right, I still don’t know your names or your ages?”

Since Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao had entered the North Prince Mansion, they would have to forsake their previous titles. It wasn’t possible to still refer to them as “princess” or “queen.”

Yelv Nanyan immediately responded, “Returning to the princess, my name is

Yelv Nanyan, and I am thirty-two years old.”

Xiao Wenyao also hurriedly said, “My name is Xiao Wenyao, and I am eighteen years old.”

Mu Zixuan, with a smile, said, “Thirty-two years old, much older than me. So from now on, I will call you Sister Nanyan.”

Yelv Nanyan quickly replied, “Princess, this is inappropriate. I am merely the prince’s hostage, I am not worthy of you calling me sister.”

Mu Zixuan said with a smile, “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. The

North Prince Mansion does not have so many rules.”

Compared to the many formalities of Great Xia, the North Prince Mansion clearly did not have as many. Even Mu Zixuan, a princess, called Chu Yuqin “Madam Chu” following Lu Chen’s example, so calling Yelv Nanyan “sister was not a big deal.

The most important thing was that Yelv Nanyan was the wife of the Sky Wolf King. Though Yelv Nanyan had now left the Sky Wolf King Tribe, her status was still politically very important to Lu Chen.

In the meantime, Mu Zixuan continued, “By the way, I’ve had someone prepare rooms for the two of you. Please, come with me.”

This…

Seeing the princess being so hospitable, Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao were both a bit stunned.

The two of them were merely prisoners, and they had not expected the North Prince’s wife to treat them with such courtesy.

However, being older and having experienced more, Yelv Nanyan knew this was Mu Zixuan’s way of winning people over. She just couldn’t quite understand why Mu Zixuan would bother to win over her, the wife of the Sky Wolf King.

At this moment, Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao both turned to look at Lu Chen.

They were now Lu Chen’s women, and naturally, they had to read his mood.

Lu Chen, with a smile, said to Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, “You two follow my beloved consort inside.”

Seeing that Lu Chen had spoken, Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao in unison said, “Yes, Prince.”

Then the two followed Mu Zixuan into the mansion.

Lu Chen patted Bai Qingqing’s bottom, signaling her to follow inside as well.

Bai Qingqing’s face flashed with a blush, but she said nothing and promptly went inside.

Yelv Nanyan was a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, and Xiao Wenyao was a Seventh Grade Martial Artist. Until he had completely secured control over the two women, Lu Chen remained a bit worried they could pose a threat to his people, so he still had to take precautions.

Lu Chen certainly did not wish for unrest in his harem.

After Mu Zixuan led Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao into the mansion, Lu Chen went straight to his study.

Meanwhile.

At the gates of Yan County.

An old man with graying hair, dressed in coarse cloth, lingered in front of the city’s notice board, quietly listening to the conversations of the passersby.

The prince has indeed avenged us! It used to be the barbarians stealing our women, but today, it was finally our turn to take theirs!”

The Sky Wolf King’s wife is truly beautiful; the prince is fortunate indeed!

And the Sky Wolf King’s daughter is not bad either – not only pretty, but also with a good figure and especially strong legs!”

You lot, your heads are full of women. Don’t you know that the North Prince is planning to relocate the Sky Wolf King Tribe to North City?”

If you ask me, those uncivilized brutes should all be killed. The North Prince actually intends to move them to North City.”

Kill? You understand nothing. Haven’t you heard that the North Prince is planning to greatly expand construction, build roads and fortify towns? If those barbarians were all killed, who would do the heavy labor?”

“Tsk, the Sky Wolf King Tribe has already surrendered to the North Prince. If they are to move to North City, so be it.”

I’ve heard that the North Prince’s plans aren’t just about relocating the Sky Wolf King Tribe to North City. He intends to turn the entire North Land into his domain. Before long, all the barbarian tribes of the North Land will become the prince’s subjects. Anyone who dares not submit will be attacked by his army!”

The North Prince really has guts. Before, we wouldn’t even dare to dream that the barbarians could have such a day.”

Listenting to the townspeople’s discussions, the old man muttered to himself, “Great ambition, but it remains to be seen if he possesses the corresponding strength.”
