Chapter 376 Unless One Male and One Female
Under the threat of death, the chief steward had no intention of following the rule of not fighting back when being beaten. He retreated desperately and raised his hands to block Shen Cheng's punch.
He succeeded, and a pair of sharp claws collided with Shen Cheng's fist.
Then it broke into pieces like paper, not only his claws, but also his two arms, turned to ashes in an instant.
"No!"
The Grand Steward opened his mouth to let out a desperate cry.
Shen Cheng's fist had already landed between his chest and abdomen.
boom!
Terrifying energy erupted from Shen Cheng's hands, submerging the general manager and shattering all matter in its path, rushing forward like an unstoppable torrent.
Shen Cheng deliberately adjusted the direction, so this torrent of energy did not hit the princess's mansion after engulfing the general manager, but passed through the sky above the princess's mansion. The air shock caused by it caused huge waves in the artificial lake, and a large amount of vegetation on the shore was uprooted.
The moment the punch was thrown, the air vibrated to form a shock wave, which spread out with Shen Cheng as the center, blowing away the surrounding soldiers who were on high alert. Only the eldest prince, the second princess and Yuan Hu could still stand.
But the expressions of the three people were exactly the same, their eyes were wide open to the limit, and the expressions were completely frozen on their faces.
The noise caused by Shen Cheng's punch continued. The energy of the fist rushed through the sky above the imperial capital, creating bursts of thunder-like noises, alarming millions of people.
Shen Cheng retracted his fist with satisfaction. He had not yet used his true form and fully activated the demon armor. This was not his most powerful punch, but it was enough.
The chief steward had been completely reduced to ashes, not even a hair was left.
Although the demons have strong physical recovery abilities, it is far inferior to the Eternals who can recover even after being shattered into pieces. In a situation like this where their bones are crushed to ashes, they are definitely dead.
Shen Cheng clapped his hands and looked back at the Second Princess: "I have already beaten him to death, you said it's okay?"
The second princess came back to her senses from her extreme shock with a start.
Her eyes burst into bright light, a strong color of excitement mixed with surprise.
The second princess had originally guessed based on her intuition that Shen Cheng was very powerful, but at most she thought he was about the same as General Yuan Hu or the Grand Steward.
I never expected that he could be so strong that he could kill the chief steward in seconds.
The emotionally excited second princess couldn't help but take two steps forward, but when she thought of the presence of outsiders, she forced herself to hold back.
"It's just an old dog that died. It's no big deal."
She turned her head and looked at the eldest prince: "Are you right? Your Highness?"
The eldest prince's face was as gloomy as water. He had completely misjudged this pretty boy. It turned out that this pretty boy was so powerful. He didn't know where the second princess had invited such a powerful foreign aid from.
Faced with the provocation of the second princess, the eldest prince said nothing, but just looked at Shen Cheng deeply, as if he wanted to remember his appearance, then turned and left.
This was no longer the time to be polite, otherwise he was afraid he would not be able to control himself and take action.
Seeing the eldest prince leave, Yuan Hu hurriedly called on the soldiers who were blown to pieces to get out of here together.
At this moment, General Tiger was filled with gratitude. Fortunately, he believed in the principle that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, so he did not rush up to share the worries of his leader.
Otherwise, he would suffer the same fate as the general manager.
After all the uninvited guests left, the second princess finally relaxed the tension that had been weighing on her mind all night. She subconsciously looked up at the distant sky, and the dark clouds that had accumulated in the night were split open, revealing the faint stars.
She had only seen this kind of miraculous power in her mother and two other princes, and they were all legends.
At this moment, the second princess didn’t even know what attitude to use to face Shen Cheng after turning around?
Such a powerful person is no longer someone she can control and use.
However, the Second Princess had been involved in political affairs for many years, so she quickly adjusted her mindset, turned around and looked at Shen Cheng, and put on a friendly smile: "Brother-in-law, you really deceived me so much."
Shen Cheng asked curiously: "What did I lie to you about?"
"You deceived my feelings."
The second princess said something that could be easily misunderstood, and poked Shen Cheng's arm with her finger: "So you are so powerful, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I wouldn't have to endure their bullying."
Shen Cheng didn't say anything, just looked into the second princess' eyes.
The second princess looked at him, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she said uneasily, "What's wrong?"
Shen Cheng laughed: "Just now you said you were one of my family, why are you suddenly so distant? Your smile is so fake."
The second princess was stunned for a moment and subconsciously touched her face with her hand.
She reacted immediately, and unconsciously became a little defensive towards Shen Cheng, with a fake smile on her face.
Because Shen Cheng was too strong, so strong that he was beyond the control of the second princess.
People like her, who are leaders of a faction, naturally dislike people and things that are out of control.
Ninety-nine percent of leaders will not accept a subordinate who is much stronger than themselves, as this will make him feel insecure about his position.
Looking at the Second Princess who was suddenly stunned, Shen Cheng knew that his guess was correct. This woman was a political creature, or was transforming into a political creature.
Shen Cheng wanted to show his deterrent power to the second princess, and he was very successful.
As a result, she accidentally succeeded too much, which caused her to have a stress reaction.
The two remained silent, but the second princess had calmed down and her brain was working rapidly.
She knew that if her performance in the future failed to satisfy Shen Cheng, then the previous attempts to win him over would be in vain and her brother-in-law would leave her.
That’s right, a princess of the empire actually needs Shen Cheng to be satisfied. This is the change brought about after he demonstrated his strength.
At this moment, the second princess made a decision that she would be extremely glad for in the future.
She threw away all the false appearances and politeness, and grabbed Shen Cheng's hand: "I don't care, I am Yin Li's sister, and you are my brother-in-law, you must help me."
Shen Cheng was surprised and asked, "Who is Yin Li?"
"Yin Li is my third sister."
The second princess uttered a long "Oh" and said, "So you don't know my sister's real name. Is your relationship not as good as I thought?"
Shen Cheng retorted: "Who said that? I just didn't ask. If I asked her, she would definitely tell me."
The second princess looked at him with a smile, and her expression suddenly became serious: "Then let me ask you, are you serious about my sister, or are you just playing around?"
Shen Cheng suddenly felt the pressure of facing the girl's parents, and said decisively: "Of course I am serious."
The second princess laughed and said, "That's good. Then we are a family. Call me sister and let me hear it."
Shen Cheng didn't shout, but asked: "What do you mean?"
Just now this woman was acting like she was under stress, but now she's suddenly trying to make connections.
"Didn't I make it clear enough?"
The second princess took a step forward and closed the distance between herself and Shen Cheng: "I admit that I was a little scared just now, because I felt uneasy because of your strength. But if you were my brother-in-law, it would be different. I am your sister, what should I be afraid of? Will you help me?"
Shen Cheng took a step back: "Your sister and I are just a couple, we haven't gotten married yet."
The second princess took another step forward and said, "You said that, don't you have any intention of marrying my sister?"
Shen Cheng took another step back: "That's a matter of the future, it has nothing to do with now." The second princess took another step forward: "I understand, I will repeat your words to my sister."
Shen Cheng stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you threatening me?"
The second princess sat down on the ground and reached out to grab Shen Cheng's pants: "I don't care. If you don't help me, I will complain to my sister."
Her tantrum and rogue behavior made Shen Cheng speechless.
"Your fairy tricks won't work on me. Go talk to your sister yourself."
Shen Cheng pulled away the second princess's hand that was grabbing his pants, turned around and entered the miniature world directly.
Watching Shen Cheng disappear, the second princess who was sitting on the ground suddenly smiled.
Let me tell my sister, then she will definitely help me.
To deal with this kind of man, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
The second princess suddenly felt a little envious of her sister. She was still a little girl, but she could find such a powerful guy as her boyfriend, while she could only attract a few playboys.
In terms of attractiveness, the second princess had to admit that she lost.
"But..."
The second princess suddenly laughed.
“A smart leader will not accept a subordinate who is stronger than himself, unless they are a male and a female.”
……
In the eldest prince's residence.
Countless valuable porcelain and furniture were smashed to pieces all over the floor, and the servants were so frightened that they hid outside the door and trembled in fear.
The eldest prince stood alone in the room, his face ashen.
He didn't know how much of his anger was due to tonight's failure or because his sister suddenly found a man without telling him.
"Wait until I take that seat...wait until I take that seat..."
The eldest prince muttered to himself, and suddenly shouted, "Grand Steward."
No one answered, and he realized belatedly that the chief steward had been crushed to ashes by that pretty boy.
This matter will surely spread throughout the imperial capital tomorrow, because there are too many witnesses and it is impossible to keep it secret.
The eldest prince took a deep breath and shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone come."
The door was pushed open, and an old man who was also a werewolf walked in cautiously: "Your Highness."
This is the younger brother of the Grand Steward, who also serves as the Steward.
The eldest prince ordered with a cold face: "From today on, you are the chief steward. Go and find out who the pretty boy who killed your brother is. I want all the detailed information about him within half a month."
The sadness in the werewolf elder's eyes immediately turned into ecstasy, and he bowed his head deeply: "Yes, sir!"
……
Shen Cheng didn't know that the eldest prince was looking for someone to investigate him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
If he could find out his background so quickly, Shen Cheng wouldn't mind giving him a medal.
He returned to the microcosm and saw Ruan Qingsha communicating with Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing.
Seeing Shen Cheng appear, the three of them hurried over.
"How's it going outside?"
Ruan Qingsha asked anxiously, "Is my sister okay?"
Shen Cheng shook his head and recounted everything that happened outside. Of course, there was no need to mention the little matter of him pretending to be the second princess's lover. It was not important at all.
After listening to what Shen Cheng said, Ruan Qingsha finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want her sister to be implicated because of her own affairs. During the ten days that the second princess took her in, the relationship between the two sisters had made great progress.
"Well, except for Si Han's whereabouts, all other troubles have been solved for the time being."
Shen Cheng raised his hand and used alchemy to create a few chairs and sat down. He said to Ruan Qingsha: "Now can you tell me what happened to you assassinating the Red Dragon Queen?"
Han Zhiqing interrupted, "We were just asking, but Sister Qingsha said we should wait until you come back before we talk about it together."
Ruan Qingsha defended herself: "I just don't want to say it a second time."
But obviously no one believed her, otherwise Ruan Qingsha would have had plenty of opportunities to tell Zhao Nanxing and others, but in the end she chose to conceal it.
In fact, this is true. Only in front of her sister or Shen Cheng would Ruan Qingsha be willing to speak out what is hidden in her heart. If it were someone else, even when facing her teacher Zhao Nanxing, she felt that there was no point in telling the truth.
At this moment, under the doubtful eyes of the three people, Ruan Qingsha finally revealed the secret she had hidden in her heart for many days: "I suspect my mother is fake."
Except for Shen Cheng, Zhao Nanxing and Han Zhiqing were all shocked.
The Red Dragon Queen is the supreme ruler of the entire Dragon Realm and the most powerful legend. How could it be false?
Looking at the calm Shen Cheng, Ruan Qingsha asked doubtfully: "My sister has told you?"
Shen Cheng shook his head: "No."
"Then why aren't you surprised at all?"
“Well, maybe it’s because I’ve seen the same operation before!”
He had seen the fake Jin Xing in the Eternal Empire, and he had also impersonated Yu Feng, so this kind of operation did not surprise him at all.
"When did you find out your mother was fake?"
"It all started with that male favorite from a year ago."
After learning that the Red Dragon Queen favored a male lover, Ruan Qingsha felt incredible, because her mother was not interested in men at all and had warned her more than once not to indulge in love and lust.
Her mother was not one to say one thing and do another, but she walked the talk and led by example.
That day, Ruan Qingsha hurried into the palace and found that there was indeed a male lover beside her mother.
When Ruan Qingsha first saw the male favorite, she intuitively felt that this man had bad intentions, and under his influence, her mother's words and actions even changed.
From that time on, Ruan Qingsha made up her mind to drive this male favorite away.
However, this male favorite was deeply trusted by the Red Dragon Queen, and Ruan Qingsha could not get rid of him no matter how hard she tried. There were even rumors among the people that she was competing with her mother for the male favorite.
In order to avoid suspicion, Ruan Qingsha could only reduce the number of times she went to the palace.
Until a month ago, when Ruan Qingsha entered the palace again, she found that the Red Dragon Queen had become very unfamiliar to her. Although her words and deeds had not changed, she did not feel like the original mother.
