The Legend of Min Hong

"The next one after Ki Ting's would be mine, and the one opposite mine would be occupied by Tong Tian…"

"The one beside me would be occupied by the Pirate Leader, and opposite the Pirate Leader would be Bai Shaoxing…"

"Then the last room and the one opposite it would be occupied by Elder Fu and Gu Ming respectively…"

Gong Yi distributed everyone's apartment to them as they all left the area…

Min Hong and the Princess returned to the main cabin, but despite the fact that she had something to talk to him about, she decided to shove it aside for the moment and instead help Min Hong relax…

She served him a very strong wine from her spirit ring and then sat just beside him looking at him drink…

Min Hong gulped it down but when the cup was half full, he caught the Princess seemingly engrossed in what he was doing which was literally nothing important;

"I am that handsome unh…"

He spoke with his mouth still in the cup as the Princess blushed and lashed out by holding the cup to his head and forcing the rest of the wine down his throat;

"Now do you think you are still handsome!?"

Min Hong was stung by the rush of the wine and his throat, chest, lungs and stomach burned like someone poured combustible acid into it and then lit it on fire…

He belched and could have sworn that he saw a heat mirage flow out of his throat;

Cough! Cough!

Min Hong truly needed to unwind since his mind had been locked into a knot with everything that had happened within the last five to six hours, and thus when he was taking the wine, he didn't use his cultivation because he wanted to truly get drunk, thus, when the princess chugged him with the wine, it really hit the spot, and in little to no time, he was already feeling giddy…

The princess pushed him on his back to lay on the massive bed they had, and pressed her finger on his chest with increasing force until the Black Star Skin was forced to instinctively accumulate at his chest area, causing Min Hong to appear in nothing other than his underwear… 

She pulled off his socks and laid him properly on the bed before covering him with the silk sheets before undoing her own robes and when she was left with nothing other than what she wrapped her upper and lower bosom with, she slipped under the sheets and accompanied him by rubbing his chest…

Now they were in the zone, and she was sure questions can now follow;

"Are you alright?" She asked in the smoothest and softest bedroom voice ever;

Hu!

Min Hong sighed;

"There is really a lot of things in my mind, and they are also weighing down on me significantly…"

Min Hong confessed and the Princess knew, and she was likewise glad that he did so;

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

She suggested as Min Hong turned and kissed her on the forehead causing her cheeks to turn slightly rosy;

"Hmph! Smooth…" She snorted playfully before smiling coyly;

"I just need you to keep up what you are doing, it is the best you can do for me at the moment…" Min Hong added;

"It's nothing, I truly love you, so all these things aren't even a duty to me, I just love doing them with you…"

"Cool… You already know about the inheritance ground already, and asides a few of my goals that you would naturally come to witness in n time, the rest are things that can endanger not only your safety, but your entire clan just because you know little to nothing about it…"

Min Hong added as the Princess stared straight into his eyes, and she could detect that he wasn't lying, after all, the hand she was using to rub his chest could feel his heartbeat at the moment, and she was very sure Min Hong wouldn't lie to her at this point in their relationship, rather than doing that, he would simply not tell her or only give her an hint…

"That was really good back there… Not telling them everything and allowing them to figure some part of it out by themselves…"

"Yeah, there is always this extra level of joy that comes from figuring out something by oneself, even if one was given a hint…"

"Furthermore, that would also show everyone that I need their inputs and supports just as much as they need mine…"

"So, you have really never been to an inheritance ground?"

The tone with which the Princess asked caused Min Hong to reply with a question of his;

"You don't believe me?"

"Well, if I did, I wouldn't be asking now, would I?"

Min Hong looked tilted himself to get a better view of the princess' face;

"Nice… Keep that attitude, I love it…"

"What attitude?"

"Because we are in love doesn't mean you should believe everything I say; such behavior is a recipe for disaster…" Min Hong explained;

"Yeah, but that doesn't answer my question either…" The princess smiled charmingly;

"Hmm, nope I haven't… But why do you feel otherwise?"

"Well let's see… You are super strong, have uncommon Daos even to the extent where you fall short in the most common ones…"

"You whip out different unique weapons which are not really that Top Tier but still the strongest of their class, and what else…. Let's see…"

"You also don't find majority of the treasures in the area fascinating, instead, you are more inclined to building an army…" The princess listed her suspicions;

"O-kaay… But what has all that got to do with me being in or not being in an inheritance ground?"

"Really, you are really asking me that?"

The princess almost choked with laughter at Min Hong's question;

"What… Is that funny?"

"No it's not… it's just ridiculous, ha-ha ha!" The Princess laughed once again;

"Honey, you can defeat three Saint Stage experts simultaneously with one of them having Nirvana Stage technique, and your thought process seems so ancient and wise that it is sometimes creepy…"

"Yu could make everyone submit to under your leadership without even wanting to, and all that is based on the fact that you are only fifteen!"

"Tell me, who does that?"

"I can bet my future that if they searched far and near, there would be no one, and I am including all the adults and patriarchs in the entire four Empires who can come close to your level…"

"But that is not still the creepiest part…"

"Oh?" Min Hong was surprised that there was still more;

"Nope… The creepiest part is the fact that o still feel you are not going all out, and on top of that, you haven't completely tapped into your potentials, and why I don't know what extent these criteria reach, I still believe you could be more than you currently are…"

"That means, if everything I have said so far and is true, then you might be stronger than my mother and she has an 8 Star Nirvana Stage battle prowess… Now, that is the creepiest part of it…"

"An expert on the same power level of my mother squeezed into the body of a 15 year old… How can you even handle all that?"

The princess had left the explanation level and was now bordering on sheer curiosity;

"Would you believe me if I said I am a reincarnate of a powerful ancient expert?" Min Hong asked in all seriousness;

"Not a single bit… Not even if I am beaten to death for ten consecutive lifetimes…"

"Eh?" Min Hong was truly stunned;

"Yes, because powerful ancient experts don't behave the way you do…"

"Oh? Have you met one before?"

"Not really, but I believe they would be this overbearing and brash sort of people that don't even have a love life or if they do never hangout with their women the way you do…"

"That's what I believe they would act like…" The Princess smiled at him as she finished her explanation;

"Hmm…"

Min Hong playfully placed his chin on his Hokku Point in thought as he looked at the Princess once again;

"You are very smart and intelligent…"

"Ah, come one… Enough with the flattery already…" The Princess pouted playfully but her rosy cheeks betrayed her;

"Alright… To answer your question honestly according to our current context; I am not a reincarnated powerful ancient expert, and neither have I entered any inheritance ground…"

Min Hong replied as the princess' eyes widened in shock, causing her to actually rise on her sides, as she supported herself with her elbow, before using her finger to place her bangs behind her ear…

"That's a lie!" She blurted;

What Min Hong had just said sounded worse and scarier than what the Princess was actually expecting…

If he had said he was a reincarnate of a powerful ancient expert, then she would have believed it, because expert on those level usually reacquire the strength they had in their previous lives, and that would have explained Min Hong's inhuman strength…

Furthermore, since they had lived through multiple lifetimes in the past, these experts usually have enormous stash of treasures that they have gathered over time, and majorly store it within storage rings, and that would have also explained the unique treasures Min Hong had, and why he doesn't really fancy other treasures he sees around…

If he had admitted into being in an inheritance ground before, then that would have also been acceptable, since she could just think that the inheritance ground Min Hong had been to, was an extremely high tier type…

But no, he said it wasn't both which leaves the princess with one scary truth; Min Hong was an otherworldly monster with apocalyptic talent in cultivation, comprehension, and an extremely wealthy background; one that could buy the entire Dynasty they were currently living in, and by everything she had seen and discovered so far, that seemed like a very unlikely theory…

"Why are you looking at me that way?"

Min Hong asked when he saw the princess' incredulous expression;

"You're incredible!" The Princess blurted…
