"Your Highness, you flatter me. This won't happen again, I assure you.""I wonder what brings His Royal Highness to me. Whatever it is, I will do my utmost to ease his burdens and never refuse."His smi...Chapter 380: My Intimidation Doesn't Work

At first, the saintly maiden chose the East Palace as her hiding place. This shows she was bold, meticulous, and intelligent.

But even though she was discovered in the East Palace and escaped for a second time, returning to the East Palace despite being heavily injured proves that her courage and cunning are extraordinary and beyond compare.

So her compromise at this moment was not unexpected for Li Chen.

Perhaps the saintess was not afraid of death, but as both a woman and a spiritual symbol of the White Lotus sect, neither identity could possibly allow her to be humiliated.

This is scarier than death.

Faced with the saint's compromise, Li Chen didn't hesitate much. He turned to the guards below and said, "Go, summon the Three Treasures."

The guard went forward at his words. Li Chen turned his head again, and saw the cold gaze of the Holy Maiden.

"What are you looking at me for I'm afraid you're stalling to recover your injuries. After all, with your level of skill, who knows if you could regain enough strength to kill me within just a few incense sticks"

The Holy Maiden said coldly, "Your Highness's courage is nothing to boast about."

"Don't try to provoke me, it's useless."

Li Chen said calmly, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone me."

Poking his own nose, Li Chen said, "As the Crown Prince, what are you Just a mere ruffian from the Jianghu."

"Without a bodyguard who could subdue you at any moment, I'd talk to you more"

If looks could kill, Li Chen would have been sliced and diced a thousand times by the Saintess right now.

At Li Chen's summons, the Three Treasures dared not delay. They put aside their current tasks and immediately returned to Li Chen's side.

Even when he saw the Saintess, he was so startled that he almost instinctively raised his hand to strike her down.

He had calculated everything he could, but he never expected that his painstaking efforts almost turned the entire capital upside down. He even contemplated bringing people to search the palace. Yet this Saintess dared to return to the East Palace for a second time.

Li Chen's one sentence made San Bao even more ashamed.

San Bao arrived, and Li Chen's confidence soared to an unprecedented high.

Just as he was about to have the three treasures take the Holy Maiden away, the Holy Maiden said without a shred of emotion, "If you let this eunuch touch me, I will immediately commit suicide in front of you."

Sān Bǎo immediately flew into a rage, and with a respectful tone towards Li Chen, she requested: “Your Highness, please allow me to dispose of this demoness. I guarantee she won't even have the ability to commit suicide.”

The saintess' eyes flashed, her gaze fixed on the three treasures with a sharpness like a blade.

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "What use is a ruined saint If she doesn't want to move, just keep talking here."

Thus, a radius of thirty paces around the Bailian Hall was cleared out. Anyone who dared to trespass would be killed without mercy.

After clearing the room, Li Chen said calmly: "Since we're talking about cooperation, it needs sincerity. First, tell me who cooperated with your White Lotus sect to plot and assassinate me."

The Holy Maiden said coldly, "If you want me to show sincerity, then what about your sincerity"

"I will not kill you, that is sincerity."

Li Chen languidly said, "Don't waste my patience. This little trick won't benefit our cooperation."

The Holy Maiden clenched her silver teeth.

The prince before her was powerless. If the three treasures hadn't arrived, in another cup of tea's time, she would have had enough strength to kill him with her bare hands.

But at this moment, even this powerless prince gave the Holy Maiden a feeling of unprecedented pressure since her debut.

He had no martial arts at all, but standing there, he was even more terrifying than the Demon God.

"King Zhao, Li Yinhu!"ecially Wan Jiaojiao.He took out a jet-black fire poker from his arms and Li Chen laughed, "This palace will use this."Su Zhen Ting took a bow and arrow set, saying, "Your Highness is accustomed to us...
