Douluo: Reincarnated to a Dragon Egg Hatched by the Silver Dragon King

Ye Feng left the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and arrived in Heavenly Dou City, making his way to the imperial palace.

With the Crown Prince Token given by Xue Qinghe, Ye Feng easily entered the palace, encountering no obstacles as he proceeded directly to the Crown Prince's chambers.

"Please wait a moment, young master. I will report to His Highness the Crown Prince immediately."

At the entrance to the Crown Prince's chambers, the guard, upon seeing Ye Feng's token, immediately treated him with utmost respect and quickly turned to leave.

A moment later.

The guard emerged from the chambers and bowed to Ye Feng, saying, "This way, young master. His Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you in the study."

The guard then respectfully led the way, showing no hint of condescension or neglect due to Ye Feng's young age.

After all, those who served as guards here were highly perceptive, as those without such discernment had long since been executed...

Ye Feng followed the guard into the Crown Prince's chambers.

The imperial palace here was several times larger than the Forbidden City of Ye Feng's previous life, and even more magnificent and luxurious.

This was, after all, a fantasy world, and the palace, adorned with countless rare treasures, was incomparable to the palaces of the ordinary world.

After navigating through twists and turns, the guard brought Ye Feng to a peculiar wooden door and announced respectfully, "Young master, this is His Highness's study."

"Mm, I see."

Ye Feng waved his hand and pushed the door open directly, not even bothering to knock.

The study was not large, and though its decorations appeared less extravagant than those outside, everything within—whether the tables and chairs, the calligraphy and paintings on the walls, or the vases—exuded an understated luxury.

Xue Qinghe, seated at the head of the room, looked at Ye Feng with some exasperation and said, "You really have no manners, do you? You didn't even knock before entering."

"We're so familiar with each other—we even had close contact in the Soul Battle Arena. Why would you care about such a small thing?" Ye Feng replied nonchalantly, sitting down directly across from Xue Qinghe.

"How dare you bring that up!"

At the mention of the Soul Battle Arena, Xue Qinghe instantly recalled the embarrassing incident and became visibly flustered.

"Wait, transform back first. You don't look good when you're angry," Ye Feng interrupted Xue Qinghe, urging him to summon "Qian Renxue."

"Hmph, how tedious!"

Xue Qinghe snorted coldly but still removed his disguise, transforming into the appearance of Qian Renxue.

While ordinary women might revert to their plain selves after removing makeup, Xue Qinghe's transformation turned him into a stunning beauty.

Although Qian Renxue knew that Ye Feng harbored a certain admiration for her beauty, being called ugly to her face was something she couldn't accept. She had to prove herself.

"By the way, when did you arrive at the palace? Did you spy on me again recently?"

Qian Renxue suddenly thought of something, furrowing her delicate brows as she asked, her gaze filled with suspicion.

Though she had no evidence, Ye Feng had a history of such behavior—twice, in fact—and she strongly suspected that it was him who had been spying on her.

"I just left the academy. If you don't believe me, you can investigate it yourself," Ye Feng said, spreading his hands and feigning innocence.

"Really?"

Qian Renxue looked at him with suspicion, but Ye Feng's expression didn't seem to be lying.

Moreover, given Ye Feng's thick skin, if he had indeed been spying on her, he would have admitted it outright. Since he had just left the Heavenly Dou Academy, it couldn't have been him.

Perhaps it was because Ye Feng had seen through her twice before, leaving her with a lingering psychological shadow...

However, it's all Ye Feng's fault! Qian Renxue secretly cursed Ye Feng in her heart, drawing circles of resentment...

"I came here to fulfill our agreement," Ye Feng said, feeling somewhat uneasy under Qian Renxue's resentful gaze, and quickly got to the point.

"Oh?" As expected, Qian Renxue's interest was piqued upon hearing this. "So, how do you plan to invest in me?" she asked curiously.

Ye Feng had mentioned that his terrifying power wasn't innate but acquired later.

She was extremely curious about what could possibly elevate a person's strength to such an extent.

Despite her extensive reading, she had never heard of anything like it in this world. If it wasn't acquired later, she couldn't fathom how Ye Feng, at such a young age, had achieved such terrifying strength.

Her Angel Spirit, being a God-level Spirit Soul, had an Innate Soul Power of a staggering 20 levels, making her the most exceptional child in the history of the Angel family.

Yet, she had been utterly defeated by Ye Feng...

This left her deeply frustrated and incredibly curious about how Ye Feng had become so strong.

"With this," Ye Feng said smoothly, taking out a small pill and handing it to Qian Renxue. "This pill is called the 'Sword Pill.' After consuming it, you will gain a formidable Sword Physique, greatly enhancing your mastery of the sword path. Although the Angel Spirit isn't specialized in sword cultivation, acquiring the Sword Physique will significantly boost your overall combat power and cultivation speed."

"The Sword Pill... this little black pill? Are you joking with me?" Qian Renxue stared at the small black pill in Ye Feng's hand, clearly bewildered.

Her spiritual power wasn't weak, but no matter how she probed the pill, it seemed utterly ordinary, just a common pill.

The faint scent it emitted also seemed familiar, as if it were made from the most common wild grass and some binder...

Ye Feng was claiming this thing was a 'Sword Pill'? Was he trying to fool her? "If you're afraid it's Poison, you don't have to take it," Ye Feng said casually, tossing the pill in front of Qian Renxue and shrugging, appearing completely indifferent.

After all, it was Qian Renxue's own choice. If she wanted an opportunity, she had to accept the risks. If she wasn't willing to take any risks, it would be too easy.

Ye Feng had created this pill partly to conceal the abilities of the Lexical Trait and partly to test her, to see if she was worth investing in.

"Fine! I'll take it!" Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Ye Feng, then gritted her teeth, picked up the pill, and swallowed it directly.

Her Angel Spirit possessed a "Sacred" ability that could purify all impurities, including various toxins, so she naturally wasn't afraid.

Moreover, if Ye Feng really wanted to do something to her, he had many ways to do so.

Although Ye Feng was a bad guy.

She could also tell that he was a straightforward person who wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.

If the pill were truly Poison, he would have said so directly, without any deceit.

As the pill entered her stomach, Qian Renxue frowned slightly. She didn't feel anything unusual, as she had swallowed it directly, not even tasting the pill.

Just as Qian Renxue was about to ask, her eyes suddenly widened...

Because, at this very moment, she felt that her body had undergone some miraculous changes.

"The Sword Pill... the Sword Physique... this sensation..."

"Boom―"

Qian Renxue's aura suddenly exploded, and the sharp Sword Intent spiraled out of control, instantly reducing the desks, chairs, and various vases and famous paintings in the study to dust! The walls were instantly covered with dense sword marks, each more than ten centimeters deep.

However, when this Sword Intent struck Ye Feng, it could not harm him in the slightest, not even leaving a single white mark.
