Chapter 41

Li Yuan's reputation spread in the entire city and many people focused their attention on this young Tier 5 Forging Master who was making armours without payment. It seems that the middle-aged man from the 5 tailed Clan spread the news which satisfied Li Yuan.

Many people flocked around his stand as Li Yuan continued to make armours for them. In the span of a few days, Li Yuan become the most loved Forging Master in the city.

In the 7 tailed clans, a handsome middle-aged man was sitting on a chair while listing to the reports from his clansmen. His eyes were sharp as he tapped on the chair.

"Interesting... He wants to improve by continuously making Tier 5 Armours... Well, his young age could make his words true. But, I feel something fishy about this whole situation. A 3 tailed fox suddenly appeared and showed his abilities as a Tier 5 Forging Master. And he is making armours for almost free." Said the middle-aged man. He looked at the girl beside him which was his daughter. She was an extremely beautiful girl that if Qin Yin saw her, she could only sigh in defeat.

The girl smiled and her 7 pure white tails gently swayed. The wine jar on her waist was inspected with the image of a 7 tailed fox.

"Royal Father, as you said. This Li Yuan is quite fishy. Even with our information network, we could only find that he came from outside our territory. I made a few servants go and ask him to make armour for them. The forging masters in our clan praised his abilities as these armours are at the peak of Tier 5 and the armours' spirits are quite easy to tame! Why should a person like him who is nearly at the Peak of the Tier 5 act like this? He said he didn't want fame or money. But, he wants something else."

"He wants knowledge of Tier 6 Forging Master! But, I feel that I am missing something." Said the girl.

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile on his face. He is proud of his daughter's cleverness.

"You forget something about him!" Said the Middle-Aged Man.

"Royal Father, can you enlighten me?" Asked the girl.

"Have you read all the reports? He seems to have a strong body in comparison to the other foxes who have the same level of bloodlines. So there is a possibility that he has a mutated Bloodline which increases his body strength." Said the Middle-Aged Man.

"You haven't thought of it because of how rare it is to happen. No matter how small the possibility is, you should always think about it."

"It is possible that he wants knowledge not about forging, but about his bloodline. Still, I am not too sure about it."

"It is quite feasible!" Said the Girl.

"His goal is obvious, the Royal Library. But, what he desires from it is either the knowledge of Tier 6 forging masters or the knowledge of the bloodlines." Said the middle-aged man while rubbing his chin.

"I see... Then, what do you plan to do about him?" Asked the girl.

The middle-aged man smiled and looked at her.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Dispose of him. I think it is better to destroy the problem before he gains too much fame in the city." Said the girl.

"Well, that is one way to solve it. Speak of another way." Said the middle-aged man.

"Put a slave mark on him and robe him to the clan. A young Tier 5 forging master like him has a big chance to become a Tier 6 Forging Master which will provide good profits to the clan." Said the girl.

The smile on the middle-aged man grow bigger and said "Chose the latter method. And then, ask him what he actually desires."

The girl nodded and left the room. The middle-aged man closed his eyes and started cultivating.

Li Yuan stopped making armours for today and left with Qin Yin to one of the inns.

"Qin Yin, the technique that I gave it to you.."

"I already mastered it! I have to say, I have never thought that you can do something like this with your own soul!" Said Qin Yin.

"But, why did you ask me do learn it?" Asked Qin Yin.

"I know how the 7 tailed foxes act. And I have prepared two things for them." Said Li Yuan. He told her about his plan which made Qin Yin's lips twitch.

"Those foxes will definitely suffer a great loss because of you!" Said Qin Yin.

Li Yuan laughed and said, " Well if they don't look for problems, I won't initiate this plan."

Qin Yin shrugged her shoulders and said " You are quite evil! And I like it!".

Suddenly, Li Yuan's eyes shone with light and smiled.

"Speak of the devil and it will appear!"

A knock was heard from the room's door and Li Yuan opened the door. He saw an old man who was at the Saint Realm looking at him with emotionless eyes.

"Li Yuan, the Princess wants to meet you!" Said the old man. Li Yuan showed a shocked face and stammered as he said " w-what? The p-princess want to meet me?!"

Qin Yin resisted the urge to laugh out loud seeing how perfect Li Yaun's acting was.

Scorn appeared on the old man's eyes seeing Li Yuan's reaction.

"Yes, and you better not make her wait."

"Of course, how can I make the princess wait?!" Said Li Yuan as he rubbed his hands together.

"Just a second!" Li Yuan closed the door which stunned the Saint. And before he could show his anger, Li Yuan opened the door which stunned the old man again after seeing that he was wearing formal clothes. Also, he reeked with the smell of perfumes which caused the old man's lips to twitch.

The old man shook his head and guided Li Yuan to the place he will meet the Princess.

Seeing how nervous Li Yuan acted during the way, the old man shook his head even more.

"He will be an easy target for the princess," thought the old man as he brought Li Yuan to a restaurant. This restaurant was the best one in the entire city and had three floors. The 3rd floor was only for the 7 Tailed Royal Clan.

The 3rd floor consisted of only three rooms and the Princess was waiting for Li Yuan in the 2nd room.

"Invite Li Yuan to the room. Alone." Voice of the Princess sounded from inside the room.

The Old Man nodded and let Li Yuan enter the room.

When Li Yuan saw the Princess, his face turned red and his lips quivered. His eyes stared at her with glee and reverence which caused a tenge of disgust to appear on the Princess' eyes but it disappeared quickly.

"Set down." Said the Princess with a smile.

Li Yuan nodded with his red face and sat on the chair beside the princess which stunned her.

"Oh, sorry! I was nervous and didn't mean that!" Said Li Yuan with a terrified face. He quickly moved and sat in front of her. He showed a timid appearance which caused the princess eyes to shine with light.

"Your personality doesn't match the reports!" Said the Princess. Li Yuan showed a flustered expression and said:" how can I not be nervous when I am in front of you?"

The Princess laughed and said with a gentle smile " You are quite interesting!" She leaned closer to his face and said: "you are quite cute seeing you all this flustered!"

The redness on Li Yuan's face deepened and couldn't help but avoid eye contact with hers.

"Look at me and tell me why did you come to the city?" Said the Princess as her eyes shone with a captivating glow which caused Li Yuan to enter a trance while looking at her.

Waves of soul energy invaded Li Yuan's mind and started to form a slave mark on it.

The Princess smiled coldly and said "now speak... You are quite handsome... Huh?". The princess was stunned. Then, her surprise turned into horror after noticing that there is a slave mark on her soul!

"My heart can withstand you praising my pitiful appearance!" Said Li Yuan. His eyes shone with light as he separated his consciousness into two parts. One was talking to her normally while the other part was communicating with her telepathically.

"Listen to what I am going to say, you bitch. Fist, you are going to follow my orders precisely as from now on, you are my slave. Second, don't think too highly of yourself as I will not have any lust for women like you. Third, you will tell them that you have made me your slave and with it. You will allow me to enter the Royal Library."

"You must be wondering why did your slave mark fail? Well, I am not telling you. Those who kill must be prepared to be killed. So don't blame me you stupid 7 tailed fox."

"We have all night to talk about life and I promise you that you are going to love how my slave mark will work on your soul.
