With the Ninth Prince's lead, the two of them smoothly entered the Dragon Temple.
"Despite the rumor of the Dragon Temple being infiltratable, it have been a smooth journey." Gu Xiao Li sarcastically said as she gave a sidelong glance towards the Ninth Prince.
"Are you sure, it is not because of this King?" The Ninth Prince hugged Xiao Li behind her back, as he propped his chin over her shoulders. He have a slight smile on his face, the moonlight further illuminating his perfect jade like skin, whle his long lashes fluttered as he blinked.
Gu Xiao Li seeing his face up so close, couldn't help but feel her face burning up.
'Damn this Enchantress!'
"Hmmp, even I could go through it all alone." She pushed out the Ninth Prince's face, Trying to ignore her beating heart she entered the Dragon Temple. ,
'What the hell am I thinking?' Gu Xiao Li thought to herself.
As the Ninth Prince made sure that have Gu Xiao Li entered, his eyes turned cold, he waved his hand, sending out a sliver of qi towards the corner door of the Dragon temple.
'Ssss'
A Paper Talisman that was neatly sliced into two, slowly fall down. Soon turning into dust.
His eyes flashed with a dangerous glint, his mouth slightly curving upwards as a demonically beautiful smile appeared on his enchanting face.
"Who could be so courageous as to ruin this King's date?" The Ninth Prince, snickered as he followed behind Gu Xiao Li.

As the two walked on the long hall way, the ninth Prince explained several machinations of the Dragon Temple towards Gu Xiao Li, not missing a single detail out.
"Here we are." As the Ninth Prince said that, the huge boulder appeared on the two's sight.
Gu Xiao Li went forward and stepped on the circle.
Element: Thunder, Wood Thunder & Wood Mortal Realm,1st rank, low Internal Energy 4th rank, peak
'Dual Element!' The ninth prince's eyes contracted as he fixedly stared at the glowing words on the boulder.
"Thunder and wood? That doesn't suit me at all, Fire and Light would have been good." Gu Xiao Lu sighed as she went towards the flabbergasted Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince snapped back to reality, then following behind Gu Xiao Li, he smiled broadly, his face showing a submissive look, as he said:
"As expected of the girl that this King took fancy, to actually turn out as a Dual Elemental Cultivator."
"Is it something amazing?" Gu Xiao Li raised her brows towards the Ninth Prince words.
Gu Xiao Li have been way too busy dealing with the people around her, specially her Paternal home and that 3rd Prince who still haven't given up on catching her. And she also only followed the guide of the 'Ring' that had made her transmigrate onto this world to cultivate. So she did not have the general knowledge regarding the elements.
"It's not simply being amazing, it's all about one's affinity and latent talent." The Ninth Prince sighed, even he, an extremely talented individual, cannot cultivate other elements that he doesn't have affinity to. He could not feel the other flow of elemental Qi, other than the Element that he has affinity on.

"Now, now, let's pick a book befitting your elements." The Ninth Prince suddenly took Gu Xiao Li small hands, as he pulled her towards the Library--
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
As they were walking,
On the corner of the hall, a shadow suddenly appeared, throwing several daggers towards them.
"!!" The Ninth Prince was first to react as he took Gu Xiao Li on his arms and dodged the dagger.
The Shadow did not stop there, as he immediately ran towards them, he shook his hands and a sword appeared.
'Howling Strike!'
The Ninth Prince face turned cold, his joyful expression disappeared without a trace. He waved his hand and several blades flew towards the Shadow.
*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang*
Metal colliding with each other echoed out on the room, as the Shadow successfully deflected the Blades--
Soon the Shadow's figure became more clear-- He's body was large and muscular, his figure easily reaching over 2 meters.
'How could he have hidden himself with that build!? And I actually did not sense him at all?' Gu Xiao Li was shocked, as she could only watch the fight on the side.
Of course the fight did not stop for even a second.
The Ninth Prince continued to test the Person wearing a Palace Guard's uniform. He sent several half-assed attacks, simply throwing some Blade-qi towards the enemy.
The Palace Guard seemed to run out of Patience as he rushed forward with the intention to kill the 9th Prince, the 9th Prince narrowed his eyes, his hands flashed a hand-seal as Lightning flashed out of nowhere, targeting the Palace guard.
*Crackle*
*Crackle*
*Crackle*
The Lightning descended on the floor, amazingly, the Lightning did not leave any damage on the floor. As the smoke dissipated- -
The Palace Guard was nowhere to be found.
"......" The Ninth Prince sent out his Spiritual sense as he scanned the whole Dragon Temple only to discover that the whole Measuring room have been plastered with Qi.
"Good, good, good...! To think that there is someone who has such big guts to ruin this King's Date." The Ninth Prince's brows tightened in a knot, while a small smile crept on his face, his eyes flashing with a rare tinge of anger.
The Talismans were obviously planted beforehand, meaning that there were people who planned to ruin his Date. As the Ninth Prince was about to explain to Xiao Li the current circumstances-- Thick mist suddenly rolled out from who knows where.
Gu Xaio Li's face sank, as she have grasped their current situation.
Someone have trapped them!
And they have been successful!

As Rui Wei successfully diverted the two's attention, she also started to rip apart a mass of Mist Talismans. Rui Wei's breathing was ragged as she leaned over the wall.
'Ugh, although the Ninth Prince's attacked using basic Skills, Qi Blades. It contained ferocious killing intent, and layers of Qi's that actually crawled straight to my internal organs, ignoring my Defense Qi! That sure was crafty... ' Rui Wei cursed the Ninth Prince, as her mouth leaked with blood.
The ripped talisman produced thick mist, filling the whole place in a thick Mist. As soon the place was completely filled with mist, Sona's figure slowly crept towards the exit--
But as Sona's figure was about to reach the door.
The door was forcefully opened from outside, Sona quickly reacted and jumped sideways, then hid herself within the shadows.
From the door, a voluptuous, alluring, and tempting figure of a woman appeared, as her back was facing the moon, the moonlight further illuminated her already alluring body, increasing her charm.
This woman is one of the few that have initiated marriage with the Ninth Prince, the 1st daughter of the Xian Clan, Xian Shen Ruo. Earlier she have received an anonymous letter that said:
"The Ninth Prince took the slut to the Dragon Temple without the 6 Pillar Elders Permission."
She did not even had second thoughts of whoever sent the letter to her. As she immediately flew over the Dragon Temple, perhaps it was due to her confidence that no one would have the guts to pull tricks with her within the Dragonsvein Kingdom, as that would mean that they would be creating a friction with her Xian Clan.
But looking at the thick amount of mist in front of her, she could not help but frown.
She then waved her arms, trying to disperse the mist. Her frown deepened as she discovered that her Qi was being suppressed inside the Dragon Temple.
*Bang*
The Door suddenly locked at it's own, scaring Shen Ruo.
Was she really lured here by someone?!
Impossible!
Her face contorted at the thought, she flicked her fingers as she summoned her contracted beast.
6th rank beast, Hell Butterfly!
The butterfly was twice the size of her, it simply flopped it's wings several times and the mist completely disappeared. Revealing the spacious room of the Measuring Device.
--
Outside the Dragon Temple.
*phew*
"Good thing, that woman was way too focused on looking for the Ninth Prince..." Rui Wei said while running alongside Sona.
"Young Mistress! That was a marvelous plan!" Sona's face was plastered with incredible joy
"Sona, here's a tip, whenever you're going to do something reckless, you must at least have several back up plans!" Rui Wei laughed as she ran with her body on the verge of collapse.
Although Rui Wei had a smile plastered on her face, she was already crying in pain inside. Everytime she takes a step her internal injuries were flaring up, furthermore she was running.
Hoping to ease the pain she is also guiding Water Qi inside her dantian, but alas, the injuries were not light.
"Y, young mistress, there's a blood leaking down your mouth... Are you really okay?" Sona asked with a worried expression.
