Nine heroes are born in the nine states. Each of the nine heroes dominates one area and controls life and death. The imperial power is supreme over life and death. The emperor walks in the abyss like walking on thin ice.
One step into the abyss, this is the fear that Gu Shaochen has hated since he was a child. He likes to live a free and easy life, but he can't help himself in the royal family.
Even if he showed no desire or pursuit, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of those who were seeking power. He was not stupid. He understood Huanbi's strategy and could see Gu Shaozai's ruthlessness.
He knew better that if he didn't resist now, he would be in danger, but he still took a chance, thinking that Gu Shaozai was his half-brother after all, and maybe Gu Shaozai would let him go in the end.
In the deep silence, Gu Shaochen looked at the two palace walls, lowered his eyes and touched the road leading to the Zhucui Palace under his feet. He thought about how he had been pretending to be weak since he was a child, and secretly sighed.
"Born by blood, there is no need to worry about fighting each other!"
Gu Shaochen spoke softly, but Shan Hu heard it clearly. He turned around and looked at Gu Shaochen with a lonely look in his eyes. He knew clearly that Gu Shaochen was talking about Gu Shaozai, so he raised his hand and tapped his chin.
"My father-in-law said that everything in this world is beyond the reach of the human heart. In short, you have the right to choose to die, but he will never give up the opportunity to kill you!"
Shan Hu got straight to the point, and Gu Shaochen was stunned when he heard this.
"You think so too?"
Gu Shaochen saw Shan Hu looking down at him. He was about to say something more when he heard Shan Hu continue.
"not me!"
Halfway through the words, Shan Hu pointed in a circle, and at the end, he pointed at the center of Gu Shaochen's eyebrows as a reminder.
"But we all feel that way!"
Gu Shaochen was pointed by Shan Hu and stood upright on the spot, his eyes glanced at Shan Hu's fingers on his eyebrows.
"So...so I really can't escape?"
"escape?"
Shan Hu retorted in doubt, and Gu Shaochen was stunned and nodded in response.
"yes!"
Gu Shaochen asked sincerely, and Shan Hu couldn't help but hugged Gu Shaochen.
"Do you know what the prince is used for?"
Saying that, Shan Hu lowered his head and looked at Gu Shaochen, who said something in response.
"For...what?"
Shan Hu caught Gu Shaochen's eyes, raised his hand and made a "click" gesture on his neck, and finished the sentence with an emphasis that went straight to the bottom of Gu Shaochen's heart.
"Kill it!"
Gu Shaochen trembled when he heard the words and put his hands on his neck.
"how about you?"
"I?"
When Shan Hu saw Gu Shaochen deliberately looking at the nao jade hanging on his waist, Shan Hu was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the ten princes were very observant.
It seemed that Mr. Cheng was not just trying to encourage others. After thinking about it, Shan Hu proudly patted Gu Shaochen's shoulder and raised his eyebrows.
"I am the only son of my father!"
"one?!"
Gu Shaochen glanced at Shan Hu in disbelief. When he thought about the number of heirs that his father could count on his ten fingers, the corner of his mouth twitched and his heart fell into silence.
...This mountain, sea, and river is one of the Nine Heroes after all!
...Then the Beast King is too pure-hearted, right?
...Is it possible that there is no beauty in the mountains and seas that can catch the eyes of the Beast King?
Thinking about it, Gu Shaochen tilted his head and said "tsk".
"Your father has very high standards!"
Hearing the tactful tone of Gu Shaochen's words, Shan Hu raised his finger and shook it.
"No, it's not that my father has a high vision! It's that my mother is too outstanding!"
Shan Hu spoke confidently, and Gu Shaochen said "uh" in reserve.
"Then I envy you for having no scruples!"
Gu Shaochen said something casually, and Shan Hu's smile froze.
If Gu Shaochen faced a fight between flesh and blood, then what he endured was an internal and external attack. There were eight heroes looking at him from the outside, and all the clans from the mountains and seas were ready to make a move inside.
In particular, Nanchuan Yuanbu has already shown his true nature, and now his father has sent him to Ye Hui. In addition to protecting him, he also hopes that he will grow up by Ye Hui's side.
Shan Hu looked at Gu Shaochen with envy in his eyes and curled his lips subconsciously.
"Let's go! Otherwise we won't be able to make it in time for dinner!"
As she spoke, Shan Hu pointed at the sky full of red clouds, lowered her head and heard Gu Shaochen's stomach growl, grinned, and said something profound.
"I didn't expect that the Tenth Prince was not only active in escaping for his life, but he was also very knowledgeable about celestial phenomena!"
Gu Shaochen's face turned red and he raised his hand to scratch the back of his head.
"I am over-flattered!"
Before he finished speaking, Shan Hu heard Gu Shaochen's stomach growl a few more times. Seeing the embarrassment on Gu Shaochen's baby face, he raised his hand and waved, and the two of them headed towards the Pearl Palace one after another.
In front of the Zhucui Palace, Fang Lian waited outside the palace early due to Shui Yinlong's instructions. This was not because of Gu Shaochen, but because every time someone came to the Shijue Palace, it was Ye Shangqiu.
So this time, Fang Lian specially took the golden fruit given to Shui Yinlong by Lord Xingyao, just to borrow the fruit to express autumn. Unexpectedly, Fang Lian waited for a long time, and Ye Shangqiu did not come.
Instead, his enemy Shan Hu was waiting for him, and Fang Lian was so angry that he turned around and said, "Humph," with a double standard on his face, which made Shan Hu grab the Qiong Guo in Fang Lian's hand and chase after him with a sprint.
"I'm talking about Young Master Fang! Isn't your differential treatment too obvious?"
Saying that, Shan Hu glanced down at Qiong Guo, then raised his eyes to look at Fang Lian.
"I'm not your Brother Ye, at least I'm your Brother Shan, right?"
"Bah! You mountain-top tiger man!"
Fang Lian rolled her eyes at Shan Hu, recalling that before she had transformed into a human form, she once traveled through the mountains and rivers and was almost eaten by Shan Hu. Now she saw Shan Hu shamelessly staring at Qiong Guo, and couldn't help but say something.
"You said you do nothing but eat all day long?"
"I..."
"You stupid tiger who doesn't recognize sharks!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Hu was not happy. This tiger was originally a carnivore, not to mention that it was Fang Lian who broke into his Shanhaichuan territory.
He hasn't questioned Fang Lian yet, but now Fang Lian has been thinking about "foodie" for hundreds of years. Besides, he didn't mean to eat her, and he apologized afterwards!
This should be enough for Fang Lian, right? Everyone said that acknowledging mistakes can make a lot of improvements, but when it comes to Fang Lian, it becomes an old score that is hard to settle? Do women like to dig up old scores so much?
The more he thought about it, the more unconvinced Shan Hu became, he took the fruit and took a big bite.
"What! I'll eat it today! If you don't accept it, hit me!"
The words were bold and arrogant, all because Shan Hu was sure that Fang Lian could not defeat him. When he saw Fang Lian, his face turned red and his neck was thick with anger. Shan Hu did not forget to add another sentence.
"And Young Master Fang! Did I come to eat at your house today?"
"I..."
"I'm taking advantage of the water master's favor! I, Shan Hu..."
Just as he was talking, Shan Hu turned around and saw Shui Yinlong staring at him, biting his tongue in fright.
"Shan...hiss...Shanhu greets the Lord of the Waters!"
Shan Hu saluted and gritted his teeth, with a face that was so painful that he couldn't bear to express it, which made Shui Yinlong laugh deeply and look up at Gu Shaochen who was watching the show quietly.
"The Tenth Prince!"
After hearing this, Gu Shaochen came back to his senses, raised his arms and made a palace salute to Shui Yinlong.
"Shui Houan!"
Throughout the entire Xingyao harem, Gu Shaochen respected Shui Yinlong the most, not only because Shui Yinlong was actually the Lord of the Dragon Clan's East China Sea, but also because he had helped him save the day from danger on several occasions.
Now that Gu Shaochen saw Shui Yinlong coming to greet him in person, he felt ashamed and said again.
"Shaochen made Queen Shui worried!"
Hearing Gu Shaochen's apology, Shui Yinlong raised his lips and smiled.
"Come into the palace quickly! The food is almost cold!"
After saying this, Gu Shaochen followed Shui Yinlong into the palace, and Fang Lian took the opportunity to step on Shan Hu's instep, causing Shan Hu to scream in pain and jump with his feet in his arms.
