Noah was now holding the tip of Princess Seiya's boat in his sole hand, along with several of her maids.
His role as a bait has ended and now his role as a porter has begun.
But this does not mean that he will not die ...
In fact they didn't want to kill him in this forest just not to attract the monsters since Noah didn't deserve to waste some golden shares on him.
So they would make one last use of him before killing him out of the forest.
Noah was killed for two reasons, first, to avoid leaving any future problems.
Secondly, and perhaps the most important reason, which is not to mutilate the princess.
From Princess Sia's actions, it is possible to know that she is a fraudulent actress abroad, and of course she will have a good reputation. If Noah remains alive and tells what happened to him in this forest, then the princess's reputation will inevitably suffer some damage, or at least some questioning.
And all of this can be avoided by simply killing Noah, so why doesn't Princess Seiya do it?
While Noah was carrying the boat, he heard something interesting from Princess Cia and Jiang Chen's conversations.
Jiang Chen was going to try to break through to the so-called Refinement realm, and every cultivator who broke through to this realm would need a Hundred Beast Pill to increase his foundation strength,
That is why Princess Xia went out to the Beast Forest to collect the Beast Cores needed to refine the Five Hundred Beast Pill to prepare as a gift for Jiang Chen on his birthday!!
Of course, that didn't mean that Jiang Chen couldn't afford something like this with his family background
But who would refuse something valuable for free?
That was why Yang Chen was trying to eat soft rice.
What piqued Noah's interest was something else, why did Grand Princess Qiayi also go out into the forest?
Princess Xia was trying to impress Jiang Chen, but what was Elder Princess Chiayi's goal?
This also raises another question. Who is Jiang Chen to make Princess Xia do all this for him?
There were some guesses in Noah's mind, but he could only confirm them after seeing the eldest princess.
If his guesses are confirmed, he will have a valuable chance to escape from this predicament!!
Soon, Princess Xia's boat arrived at the edge of the forest, and there was another boat waiting at the side. This was Elder Princess Chiayi's boat.
But before the boat arrived, a laugh full of sarcasm erupted from the side of Princess Seiya's boat.
Princess Sia was...
"Oh, my dear sister, were you able to collect the 100 kernels needed for pill refinement with your weak talents…." Princess Seiya spoke in a tone filled with malice.
"This is none of your business, junior sister. As a senior, I have to be careful to monitor your performance. Now bring all the monster cores that I have collected so that I can prepare them for you and report back to my father." Xiao Wei spoke in a cold and slightly displeased tone.
" In your dreams !!" Princess Seiya spoke angrily.
All the soldiers and the golden-armored archer prepared to fight.
In the midst of all this, there was a person smiling a devilish smile full of hatred, grudge and thirst for revenge. It was Noah!!
His guesses were confirmed and he was now sure to survive!!
Noah was thirsty for the right moment to arrive just to light the fuse.
"Little sister, are you going to raise your sword against me? What are you going to say to father and also…"
"What are you going to say to my dear husband, Jiang Chen?!" Qiye Wei spoke in a tone full of mockery.
" Yes!!" Noah's expression was completely demonic now, his demonic facial expressions only indicated hatred and thirst for revenge and deliverance.
Noah had guessed something from the moment he heard Jiang Chen's conversation with Princess Cia.
The king of Western Qin had intended to marry off one of his two daughters to Jiang Chen for some reason.
Noah guessed that Jiang Chen possessed a background stronger than Western Qin…
Princess Xia was very talented so she was excluded to make her another powerhouse of the kingdom. They wouldn't allow her to marry Jiang Chen outside of her faction.
As for Princess Chiayi, she was not as talented as Princess Xia, but she was very beautiful. She was more beautiful than Princess Xia, so Jiang Chen agreed. After all, he was also a man!
This is what produced the conflict between the two princesses.
Since Jiang Chen was also a cunning person, he did not mind this dispute, in fact, he strengthened it to achieve maximum benefits from this dispute.
Just imagine if the two princesses weren't in conflict, Princess Qiayi would have brought the Hundred Beast Ordinary Pill to Jiang Chen because of her weak talent, so Jiang Chen would be too embarrassed to refuse this pill, which would cause a rift in his relationship with Western Qin.
Of course, Princess Qiayi could bring a strong person from the royal family and task him with hunting enough monsters to refine the Five Hundred Beast Pill, but it wasn't worth the trouble either. This would lose the face of the royal family.
Has the royal family become dogs for the younger generation?
The royal family might respect and fear Jiang Chen's background, but not Jiang Chen... because he was someone from the younger generation, after all.
The most suitable situation for Jiang Chen was to incite the two princesses to compete and thus gain more results—competition always boosts returns!!
And it wasn't just Jiang Chen's ambitions here, since the two princesses' hearts had already been possessed, why couldn't he possess all of the two princesses as well?
He wanted beauty and talent!!
Noah's chance was here!
If he can take advantage of the two princesses' feud by going to Princess Chiayi's side by making himself a tool in her hands to blackmail Princess Cia for her actions against him, at least Noah's death will not be certain because if he dies on Princess Chiayi's side, Princess Cia will inevitably use the princess to discredit Chiayi .
If he couldn't go to Princess Chiayi's side, he would only blackmail Princess Xia with her actions against him. If she released him, he would have a chance to survive. If she didn't, she definitely wouldn't kill him in front of Princess Chiayi, because the latter would also use that to discredit Princess Xia.
At least there is hope for survival!!
That's why Noah acted quickly
"Sorry, I'm just a peaceful innocent farmer…"

Note: Noah will actually use a lot of schemes in the future even if he has a lot of power.
He is by nature a planner.
