Chapter 15

Chapter 13 - Provoking a Duel

"Your taste is really bad, picking all these misfits!" Princess Ziyu looked at Tuoba Ye, smugly said.

Tuoba Ye replied calmly, "I spent the gold coins, so I'm happy with it."

"You! I won't argue with you, we'll see who wins in the end." Princess Ziyu clenched her fists.

Tuoba Ye rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

They continued to select stronger female slaves, and Princess Ziyu followed them.

Xia Yuxuan wasn't bothered at all, thinking that seeing Princess Ziyu quarrel with Tuoba Ye was more enjoyable than anything else.

Usually, Tuoba Ye was too shrewd and mature, not at all like a child.

If Princess Ziyu could make Tuoba Ye angry and act a bit more like a child, as his mother, Xia Yuxuan would naturally be pleased.

From Xia Yuxuan's expression, she was very satisfied with Princess Ziyu. Although Princess Ziyu was a bit arrogant, no one is perfect, and she didn't mind at all.

Tuoba Ye was only three years old, and suddenly he had a fiancée who was three years older. He couldn't accept it at all. For the sake of the family, he had to delay and couldn't afford to offend the royal family.

The true intentions of the royal family were still unknown and needed to be understood gradually.

"Your Highness, Madam, this is the area for Eight-Star Postnatal Warriors. There are far fewer strong female slaves here," the shop owner said.

There were only about thirty female slaves at the Eight-Star Postnatal Warrior level, far fewer than male slaves.

Tuoba Ye glanced around. These female slaves all had good talent; otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to reach this level. However, among the thirty strong female slaves, none had a spiritual root.

"Princess Ziyu, ladies first, you choose first," Tuoba Ye said.

Princess Ziyu didn't refuse and had her high-level attendant make the selection. She quickly chose eight very good female slaves.

Actually, when choosing such female slaves, it's best to pick younger ones.

The high-level attendant clearly used this simple method, which was indeed very effective.

The few female slaves Tuoba Ye had his eye on were all chosen by Princess Ziyu.

In the end, he only selected one late-blooming female slave with the potential to advance to the Pre-Natal Warrior God realm.

Of course, he didn't choose them himself but communicated to Xia Yuxuan telepathically, letting her negotiate with the shop owner.

Princess Ziyu felt a great sense of achievement by buying the more talented female slaves first and was very happy. "Boss, take us to the Nine-Star Postnatal Warrior area."

The shop owner was naturally pleased and led the way immediately.

Female slaves at the Nine-Star Postnatal Warrior level were even rarer, with only twelve in total, all over forty years old.

Without a doubt, Princess Ziyu had the first pick. She chose the six youngest female slaves.

The remaining six female slaves were strong, but their age made them less valuable for cultivation.

Seeing this, Tuoba Ye could only feel frustrated and bitter.

Xia Yuxuan said, "Forget it, we bought seven female slaves today, which is enough to take care of me."

Tuoba Ye had no choice but to listen to his mother.

If they went to other slave markets, and Princess Ziyu followed, the slightly better female slaves would definitely be bought by her first.

Since that was the case, there was no need to waste time.

Moreover, to cultivate true strong warriors, it was better to start from a young age. Eight-Star Postnatal Warriors and Nine-Star Postnatal Warriors had little value for cultivation; they were only useful for immediate tasks.

Princess Ziyu looked at Tuoba Ye with disdain, a bit condescending.

Tuoba Ye couldn't stand this look and said, "Mother, let's go back."

"Xia Aunt, are you not buying any more female slaves?" Princess Ziyu asked with a smile.

"Enough is enough!" Xia Yuxuan smiled.

"I won't buy any more either. Let's leave together," Princess Ziyu said.

As they stepped out, they saw Princess Ziyu's guards, who were very imposing and exuded a killing aura.

She clearly wanted to show off her military strength, making Tuoba Ye feel inferior and dare not mention the engagement.

Tuoba Ye couldn't stand it anymore: "Mother, I want to sleep."

Xia Yuxuan, fearing Tuoba Ye would get angry, decided to stop while ahead: "Alright, go to the sedan chair and take a nap. We'll be home soon."

This was the first time Tuoba Ye met his fiancée, and he was completely suppressed, feeling extremely frustrated.

Since he had the memory of an adult, he didn't take it to heart.

But just as he was about to leave, an unexpected person appeared.

"Cousin, why didn't you let me accompany you to buy a magical pet?" A boy around ten years old appeared.

He was a member of the Yuwen family, named Yuwen Jiewu, the son of Yuwen Wen Yi's elder brother.

Yuwen Jiewu was one of the Five Heroes of the Divine Capital, a Nine-Star Postnatal Warrior.

Being a Nine-Star Postnatal Warrior at ten years old was enough to make him proud.

Yuwen Jiewu had been instilled with the idea of marrying a princess and becoming a superior person since childhood. Situ Yuer was his ideal partner.

Not long ago, he learned that the Emperor had betrothed Situ Yuer to the three-year-old Tuoba Ye, and he almost stormed the Grand General's residence.

Although he had just appeared, he saw Tuoba Ye.

"Are you Tuoba Ye?" Yuwen Jiewu asked coldly.

"Stop! If you get any closer to Young Master, you die!"

Zhan Meng stood in front of Tuoba Ye, his eyes like knives. If Yuwen Jiewu made a move, he would immediately become a corpse. His aura was so strong that Yuwen Jiewu broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to get too close.

Tuoba Ye held back Zhan Meng and looked at Yuwen Jiewu with interest: "I am Tuoba Ye. Do I know you?"

"Tuoba Ye, you'd better back off voluntarily, or I'll kill you," Yuwen Jiewu said.

"Back off? What do you mean by back off?" Tuoba Ye feigned ignorance.

Xia Yuxuan walked over: "Yuwen family's boy, be careful with your words. Tuoba Ye is the heir of the Tuoba family, with a status no less than yours. You can't just kill him at will."

"Hmph! Tuoba Ye, wait and see. If you don't back off voluntarily, you'll suffer," Yuwen Jiewu turned and left.

Tuoba Ye made a face: "I'm so scared!"

Seeing Tuoba Ye make a face, Princess Ziyu couldn't help but laugh, two dimples appearing on her white cheeks, looking very cute.

What a cute little girl! Tuoba Ye couldn't help but look at her more, even wanting to pinch Situ Yuer's tender cheeks.

Seeing Princess Ziyu laugh, Yuwen Jiewu's face turned dark.

Yuwen Jiewu often interacted with Situ Yuer, but she was very cold and proud, not giving him, her cousin, any special treatment.

This was the first time Yuwen Jiewu saw Situ Yuer laugh like this. But it was because of Tuoba Ye, and he couldn't feel happy at all, only filled with anger.

"Tuoba Ye, how about we have a duel?"

"Yuwen Jiewu, you're already ten years old. Is it appropriate to challenge my little Ye?" Xia Yuxuan said coldly.

Princess Ziyu was interested: "A duel? That sounds good. The slave market has a dueling platform. We can go there directly."

She was stirring up trouble, deliberately causing a commotion.

"We'll just have our subordinates fight, and we'll place bets. Are you up for it?" Yuwen Jiewu smiled.

Many people gathered around, discussing the situation.

"The Tuoba family's head is missing, and their strength has greatly diminished. Now they're about to be dominated by the Yuwen family."

"This Yuwen Jiewu, one of the Five Heroes of the Divine Capital, is bullying a child. What's going on?"

"You don't know? Yuwen Jiewu likes Princess Ziyu, and the whole Divine Capital knows it. But the Emperor betrothed Princess Ziyu to Tuoba Ye, naturally attracting his hatred."

...

These people were waiting for a show. If Tuoba Ye didn't dare to accept the challenge, it would weaken the Tuoba family's morale.

Tuoba Ye also noticed Yuwen Jiewu's attendants, the strongest of whom was a Two-Star Pre-Natal Warrior God, with excellent strength.

If Long Yi fought, using the War Dragon Overlord Blade, there was a chance to win. However, it would be a tough battle and would expose the War Dragon Overlord Blade technique.

In the entire Warring States, it seemed only the royal family had high-quality martial arts. If the War Dragon Overlord Blade was exposed, it would definitely attract attention.

Zhan Meng's cultivation had recently advanced rapidly, and he was now a Two-Star Pre-Natal Warrior God, with combat power comparable to a Three-Star Pre-Natal Warrior God.

If he fought, even without using sophisticated martial arts, just using the War Clan's techniques, he could win.

However, if he defeated a Two-Star Pre-Natal Warrior God at such a young age, it would attract the attention of the other four major families in the Divine Capital, which would be very dangerous for Zhan Meng.

Retreating and not fighting wasn't Tuoba Ye's style.

After much consideration, he decided to give Long Yi a Strength Talisman, allowing him to use its power to win, which was the best choice.

Unless there was a cultivation expert present, no one would notice the use of the talisman.

Cultivation experts usually didn't appear in the secular world, so there was no need to worry.

"Fine! Let's have a duel," Tuoba Ye agreed.

"Tuoba Ye, I'll bet ten thousand gold coins. Do you dare to bet?" Yuwen Jiewu pressed.

Xia Yuxuan said loudly, "I'll bet the gold coins."

She knew Tuoba Ye's strength best and believed he would have a plan.

"Let's go to the dueling platform. As for the bet, let's have my cousin keep it for now, okay?" Yuwen Jiewu said.

"Of course, no problem," Situ Yuer seemed very excited.

Both sides handed their gold coins to Situ Yuer and then went to the nearby dueling platform.

The surrounding people followed, eager to see the spectacle.

"The heirs of the two major families are having a duel. This is interesting. I wonder whose subordinates are stronger. It's a pity Tuoba Ye is too young; otherwise, a duel between him and Yuwen Jiewu would be even more exciting."

"I heard Yuwen Jiewu recently bought a Two-Star Pre-Natal Warrior God level slave. It seems he came prepared and is likely to win."

"I'll set up a betting pool. Everyone can place bets. If Yuwen Jiewu's subordinate wins, the odds are 3 to 2. If Tuoba Ye's subordinate wins, the odds are 1 to 2," a slave market owner saw an opportunity to make a fortune.

Tuoba Ye was aware of everything happening around him but didn't pay attention. He secretly gave Long Yi a Strength Talisman, instructing him to use it during the duel.

Long Yi's strength was very close to a Two-Star Pre-Natal Warrior God. With recent physical training and the Strength Talisman, defeating a Two-Star Pre-Natal Warrior God was entirely possible.
