Chapter 380: One-horned Dragon Zhou Cheng

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was past four o'clock in the morning.

The once prosperous imperial capital finally became quiet, and the entire palace was silent.

However, those who were monitoring the second princess outside still did not leave.

The second princess, who had been sleeping, finally got out of bed and said calmly, "It's almost time to act."

Shen Cheng's voice sounded at the side: "Tell me where your mother is sleeping, and I will go and take a look."

"no!"

The second princess directly rejected Shen Cheng's proposal: "I must see the truth with my own eyes."

Shen Cheng didn't care: "Whatever you want."

The second princess asked, "How can we get out of this?"

She is able to compete with the eldest prince, so her own strength is naturally not weak, but she is a life-type ability user, and hiding her whereabouts is not her strong point.

Shen Cheng said, "Get off the bed."

The second princess tiptoed out of bed. At this moment, she finally realized that her pajamas were too thin, so she quickly picked up her clothes and put them on.

Shen Cheng waved his hand towards the bed and used alchemy to create a substitute for the second princess.

The second princess didn't expect Shen Cheng to have this skill. She couldn't help but go up to check and found that this substitute who was exactly like herself could breathe, have a heartbeat, and body temperature. Even she herself couldn't tell the real thing.

While marveling at this, a terrible thought popped up in the Second Princess' mind: "You don't often use this method to entertain yourself, do you?"

Whenever he likes a woman, he creates a fake body of her that is indistinguishable from the real person, and he can still enjoy the pleasure of being seduced.

Shen Cheng said unhappily, "Why do you have so many things in your mind that are not suitable for children?"

The second princess laughed and mocked back, "No match for you, a pervert who likes to peek at other people taking baths."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Cheng appear in front of her, staring at her with a strange look.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

The second princess took a step back, remembering that Shen Cheng had said that he had the ability to see through things, and quickly covered her chest with her hands.

Shen Cheng was not interested in talking nonsense with her, so he turned around and walked out of the bedroom, went outside and opened the door.

The second princess who followed was shocked: "Won't we be discovered like this?"

"Just follow me."

Shen Cheng walked out without looking back, and reminded everyone to close the door.

The second princess could only follow him outside and close the door.

When she came outside, she could finally sense the person hiding outside and watching her.

These people are extremely powerful and are all strong men in the palace.

However, at this moment they ignored Shen Cheng and the second princess who walked out of the room, and did not even notice the sound of the door opening. Their attention was always kept inside the house.

The second princess thought of Shen Cheng's extremely mysterious invisibility method. If he didn't speak, she wouldn't be able to find him at all. Now she should put herself in the same state as him.

And this kind of invisibility can even cover up the sound of opening a door.

The second princess looked at Shen Cheng's back, and recalled the earth-shattering punch he had delivered to kill the chief steward, his ability to teleport people, his ability to create substitutes, and now his terrifying means of invisibility.

It is simply unheard of that so many abilities are concentrated in one person.

In the eyes of the second princess, Shen Cheng was full of unknowns at this moment. He was like a synonym for mystery, attracting her to understand and explore.

Shen Cheng called out from the front: "What are you standing there for? Come here."

The second princess grinned: "Here I come."

The place where the Red Dragon Queen sleeps is the most secret place in the palace, and the defense there is naturally the strictest.

Shen Cheng and the second princess walked side by side in the palace. The patrolling guards and the secret guards ignored them.

The second princess also went from being nervous at first to being relaxed later, and even looked around with interest.

Seeing her like a tourist, Shen Cheng asked curiously, "Aren't you familiar with this place?"

"No, I am very familiar with this place. I grew up in the palace when I was a child."

The second princess put her hands behind her back and walked briskly: "But this is the first time like tonight. In the past, no matter where I went, there was always a group of people following me. I had to maintain an elegant and dignified posture in public, which was very tiring."

Seeing that Shen Cheng remained silent, she continued, "So sometimes I envy my sister very much. She can enjoy more freedom without so many rules and regulations restricting her."

Listening to the Second Princess's feelings about life, Shen Cheng showed no mercy at all: "Xiaoqing, if you are willing to give up all your power and status, I believe you can also enjoy the freedom of Qingsha."

"Hey, I was just saying it, why are you refutinizing it so seriously?"

The second princess stared at Shen Cheng with dissatisfaction: "You are so unromantic, I really don't know how you managed to catch up with my sister."

Shen Cheng glanced at her and said, "Is there a possibility that your sister and I are willing to be together, and there is no such thing as one pursuing the other."

The second princess smiled and said, "Then you two should lock each other up and stop causing trouble for others."

"I'm afraid some blind people would want to harm me."

"Who are you mad at?"

The two walked towards the core area of ​​the palace while talking.

This place is covered by the fog of war, and Shen Cheng's sensing ability cannot detect it.

He chipped off a piece of the wall and used alchemy to decompose the substances inside. He found that as he had guessed, the inside of the wall was covered with countless tiny holes that had the ability to absorb energy and rays.

Coming here, Shen Cheng could no longer use energy perception, but fortunately his thought magic was not restricted.

The two passed through numerous checkpoints and gates, and finally arrived in front of a towering and huge palace.

The palace gate was closed, and only an old woman covered with feathers stood at the door, with her head lowered as if she was dozing off.

"This is Ban Juan. She is the one guarding the door every time my mother goes to sleep. Her being here now means that my mother is most likely really asleep."

The Second Princess' voice was not filled with joy at discovering the truth, but rather with a hint of anger: "Ban Juan didn't even inform me of my mother's sleep. She must have been having an affair with the First Prince."

Shen Cheng said, "You used the words 'having an affair', isn't it too easy for people to misunderstand?"

An old woman and a young and strong prince, saying that the two of them were having an affair would indeed make people think of something wrong.

"The eldest prince is a pervert like you, with mixed tastes."

The second princess' tone was a little excited: "Can we bypass her and go in to take a look?"

"Try it!"

Shen Cheng brought the second princess closer.

Ban Juan was still dozing with his head down and didn't notice anyone approaching.

Looking at this wrinkled old face, the second princess resisted the urge to slap her, and then gave Shen Cheng a thumbs up. Shen Cheng had already arrived at the palace gate, which was tightly locked from the inside to the outside. The noise of opening the door would definitely wake up Ban Juan who was dozing off. There were no windows in the entire palace, and this door was the only entrance and exit.

Just when the second princess was thinking about what to do, she saw Shen Cheng grabbing her hand. The next second, in the second princess's horrified eyes, the two of them turned into a thin piece like a shadow.

Alchemy can not only create matter, but also modify it.

Shen Cheng modified his own body and the second princess's body to be as thin as a shadow, and passed directly through the crack in the door.

"Ok?"

Ban Juan, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up and looked around with a puzzled look.

Just a moment ago, she vaguely felt someone approaching, but when she opened her eyes, she found nothing, as if it was just an illusion.

On the other side of the gate, Shen Cheng and the second princess had easily entered the palace.

The palace was extremely spacious, without any superfluous objects or walls, only thick pillars supporting the dome.

In the center of the palace, a red dragon with a diameter of over 100 meters was lying on the carpet and sleeping.

Her appearance is exactly the same as the legendary dragon. Her red scales are as dazzling as fire, her sharp dragon horns and long claws are deadly and beautiful, her wings are folded up, and her long tail is curled up.

This was the first time Shen Cheng saw a dragon, and his eyes were completely attracted by this most powerful and beautiful creature in the world.

But the next second, Shen Cheng noticed that there was a person standing in front of the sleeping red dragon.

Could it be that someone got there first?

The man standing in front of the red dragon seemed to notice the gaze from behind and turned around immediately.

This is a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. He has two deep nasolabial folds on his face and his skin is covered with fine, dark blue scales.

What is most eye-catching is that he has a long pointed horn on his forehead, pointing to the sky like a unicorn.

When the second princess saw the sleeping red dragon, an expression of surprise appeared on her face. Her mother was indeed sleeping.

Next, all the work would take was for the mother to wake up, and the eldest prince would be doomed.

But the next second she saw the middle-aged man turning around, and the surprise on her face suddenly turned into horror.

A strong feeling of weightlessness suddenly appeared, and the second princess felt her vision go dark, as if she had fallen into the pitch-black space.

brush!
The moment Shen Cheng and the second princess disappeared, a man who was dozens of meters away from them appeared in front of them as if by teleportation.

I reached out to grab it, but found nothing.

"Who is it?"

The middle-aged man looked at his empty palm and frowned slightly.

The two people who slipped in disappeared so quickly that he didn't have time to see what they looked like.

On the other side, when the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, the second princess' eyes regained their sight.

She saw black cubes floating in the sky and was stunned: "Where is this place?"

Shen Cheng did not answer him, but frowned and thought about what had just happened.

The man with the horn on his forehead was undoubtedly a legend. Just now, the two of them were almost caught by him by a few tenths of a second.

Why would a legend be beside the sleeping Red Dragon Queen?

Shen Cheng asked the second princess who was still in a daze: "Did you see that man clearly just now?"

"Yes, that man!"

The second princess finally reacted, and she grabbed Shen Cheng's shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly: "He is the One-horned Dragon Zhou Cheng, a prince whose strength is second only to my mother. He should be in his own fiefdom, why did he come to the imperial capital?"

Shen Cheng asked back: "Do you think it's appropriate to ask me this question?"

The second princess took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, her brain working rapidly. Gradually, her expression became uglier and uglier, probably because she had thought of some trouble.

Shen Cheng asked, "I heard from others before that the two princes of Dragon Territory are supporting you and the eldest prince respectively behind the scenes. Is this true?"

The second princess nodded slowly: "It's not a rumor. The two princes are legends after all. If the eldest prince and I want to become heirs, we also need their support. So I am closer to another prince named Bai Bo, and Zhou Cheng has always supported the eldest prince."

At this point, her expression was extremely ugly: "I originally thought that finding an impostor to replace my mother was just the work of the eldest prince alone, but now it seems that Zhou Cheng is also involved."

The appearance of Zhou Cheng made the second princess feel a sense of despair as if the sky was falling. He was a legend, and the two princes were the most powerful kings in the Dragon Realm. She and the eldest prince had to stand aside.

"Why is this happening..."

The second princess murmured to herself: "Hasn't Zhou Cheng always been loyal to his mother? No! I must tell Bai Bo about this."

Her tone became urgent, and she said to Shen Cheng: "Zhou Cheng suddenly got involved. This matter is no longer something we can solve. We must let Bai Bo deal with Zhou Cheng."

"Calm down."

"Now is not the time to be calm, we must hurry..."

Snapped!
"what!"

The second princess covered her butt with her hands and looked at Shen Cheng in disbelief: "Why did you hit me?"

Shen Cheng said mercilessly: "A legend has frightened you into this state. How can you still participate in the competition for the succession if you are so cowardly? Just admit defeat."

The second princess said angrily, "It's easy for you to say that. Zhou Cheng can kill us all by himself!"

Shen Cheng asked back: "Why doesn't he do that now?"

The second princess quickly said: "Zhou Cheng must have taken Bai Bo's existence into consideration, so he didn't dare to be so blatant."

Shen Cheng continued to ask: "What if Zhou Cheng killed you and Qingsha, and then recommended the eldest prince as the heir, would Bai Bo fight Zhou Cheng to the death?"

The second princess opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Because she knew very well that if Zhou Cheng really did this, Bai Bo would most likely not do anything to Zhou Cheng and would just leave it to the Red Dragon Queen to deal with.

Shen Cheng continued to ask: "You want to go to Bai Bo to seek justice, but how can you be sure that Bai Bo and Zhou Cheng are not in the same group?"

The second princess shook her head repeatedly: "This is impossible. It is impossible for the two princes to betray my mother together!"

"everything is possible."

Shen Cheng has seen too much in the Eternal Empire: "Without Bai Bo's support or acquiescence, I can't understand how Zhou Cheng dared to join forces with the eldest prince to do such a thing. After all, your mother is just asleep, not dead."

Shen Cheng's words were like a flash of lightning, flashing through the Second Princess' mind and giving her a chill all over.

Yes! Mother is just asleep, not dead. She will wake up sooner or later.

Once the mother wakes up, no matter what arrangements Zhou Cheng and the eldest prince make, it will be useless. Both of them cannot withstand their mother's anger.

Unless Bai Bo also joined in secretly, Zhou Cheng and the eldest prince would not have the courage to do such a suicidal thing.

The two legends, Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo, are no match for the Red Dragon Queen.
