Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

"Isn't Your Highness a little too arrogant?" Lu Feng toyed with the wine glass in his hand and then drank the wine in one gulp.

With his cultivation level, he was not afraid of any poison at all.

Seeing his courage, Yu Ningyan's desire to win him over grew even stronger. She said softly, "It's not arrogance but confidence. The small Qian Kingdom is only four states, while my Western Chu is the strongest country in the world, with a vast territory of nine states. What Qian Kingdom has, my Western Chu naturally has too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng hesitated for a moment, even though according to his investigation, there was indeed only one Jade Dragon Pill left in the world, which was in the Qian Kingdom's palace.

But who knows, there might be exceptions?

Especially since this Jade Dragon Pill has been passed down for hundreds of years, he has no idea what it looks like, so even if he takes action tonight, the chances of success are slim.

Seeing him start to think, Yu Ningyan knew there was a chance, and said softly, "Young Master Lu, please tell me?"

“Alright, if Your Highness can produce the Jade Dragon Pill, then it’s not impossible to discuss it,” Lu Feng said.

Yu Ningyan was stunned upon hearing this: "Jade Dragon Pill! What do you need this for?"

"Princess, please don't ask any more questions," Lu Feng said.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed instantly, and Yu Ning's rosy lips parted slightly: "The Jade Dragon Pill is the number one divine pill in the world. I have only seen its records in ancient books, but I have never seen the real thing."

Hearing this, Lu Feng sighed with some disappointment, but said, "Is that so? Your Highness, please tell me. I have only heard rumors."

Upon hearing this, the intelligent and graceful Ningyan immediately realized something and smiled knowingly: "So, Young Master Lu has no idea what the Jade Dragon Pill looks like? If it were this, could I pass it off as the real thing?"

Lu Feng also laughed: "Folk rumors are not as reliable as court records, and besides, I have my own way of verifying the authenticity of the Jade Dragon Pill."

As for how to test it, why not just take it? The world's number one divine physician once said that there was no cure for his internal injury except for the Jade Dragon Pill.

Yu Ningyan didn't doubt the truth of his words. After two encounters, she understood that Lu Feng was someone who never fought unprepared.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "According to the records of the Western Chu court, the Jade Dragon Pill carries a special fragrance that can make people feel refreshed just by smelling it. In addition, the pill has blood-red dragon patterns on it, and what is even more peculiar is that..."

"If someone has taken the Jade Dragon Pill, then that person's blood can be used as medicine to achieve the same effect as the Jade Dragon Pill. Although the effect will certainly not be as good as the Jade Dragon Pill, it will definitely have an effect!"

"It is said that there are three Jade Dragon Pills in total, one of which was used by the emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty three hundred years ago to save his favorite concubine."

Lu Feng continued, "One of them fell into the hands of the Western Chu royal family and was used by a wise ruler of Western Chu to prolong his life two hundred years ago, which is why you know so much about it. The third one is rumored to have been obtained by the former emperor of the Qian Kingdom."

Yu Ningyan remained unfazed: "The fact that you've uncovered these rumors shows you're quite capable. Seeing the strange look on your face, could it be that you need the Jade Dragon Pill to cure your illness?"

This is why she was stunned earlier. If Lu Feng really wanted the Jade Dragon Pill, she really couldn't produce it, and even if she had it, she wouldn't give it to Lu Feng.

Her words made Lu Feng sneer inwardly. In truth, the responsibility for his injuries still lay with the Western Chu.

Two years ago, a new emperor ascended the throne in the Qian Kingdom. For certain reasons, Lu Feng had to protect the Qian Kingdom, so he led the Chiyan Army to fight against them, resulting in a bloody battle that lasted for thousands of miles!

But this Crimson Flame War God had previously protected the Qian Kingdom several times, so how could the three kingdoms have been unprepared?

The three emperors simultaneously mobilized the nation's top martial artists, a total of nine grandmasters, to besiege and kill Lu Feng!

That battle was earth-shattering; in the end, all nine grandmasters died at Lu Feng's hands, and Lu Feng himself was also seriously injured.

If it weren't for breaking through to the peak of martial arts grandmaster realm, using powerful true qi to sustain his life, and the all-out treatment of the world's number one divine doctor, how could he still be alive and kicking today?

Even now, Lu Feng is only suppressing his internal injuries with his true qi.

"It's just something we need."

Without revealing the reason, Lu Feng said calmly, "Since the princess doesn't have the Jade Dragon Pill, I can only think of another way."

Yu Ningyan lowered her eyebrows: "Young Master Lu, although I don't know what you want the Jade Dragon Pill for, given the current situation, can you protect the Qian Kingdom for a while, or can you protect it forever?"

"The Crimson Flame War God is dead. The Qian Kingdom, with only these four states, is a broken ship. Does Young Master Lu insist on sinking the ship and causing everyone to perish?"

Seeing that Lu Feng did not respond, Yu Ningyan said persistently, "Young master is talented. In my Western Chu, whether it is wealth and honor or beauty and power, I can give you everything. Why do you still cling to the Qian Kingdom?"

Lu Feng smiled, his gaze falling on Yu Ningyan's beautiful face before sliding down to her delicate shoulders, as if admiring some treasure.

It must be admitted that the woman in front of him was indeed very beautiful, especially now that she seemed to have dressed up carefully, and she seemed to be subtly suppressing Qin Xinyi.

Although it was only for a brief moment, Yu Ningyan still caught his gaze, and her red lips curved into a captivating smile: "Young Master Lu has quite the appetite, setting his sights on me?"

Intelligent people are often able to make use of their strengths, and Yu Ningyan is undoubtedly an extremely intelligent woman.

Lu Feng clicked his tongue and said, "Do you think the princess would agree if I asked?"

With a gentler voice, Yu Ningyan smiled and said, "That depends on Young Master Lu's abilities. With the assets you've shown so far, you're far from being able to become the consort of the Western Chu."

"I only admire the strong."

Lu Feng chuckled, picked up the wine pot, and poured a cup for himself and Yu Ningyan as a way of returning the hospitality. After finishing the cup, Yu Ningyan thought the matter was settled.

Lu Feng casually replied, "Thank you for your hospitality, Princess. I, Lu Feng, am used to being free and don't have any great abilities to serve you. But Princess, you don't need to worry. I will not interfere in the third round of the competition. However, I do have a small request."

Yu Ningyan replied without hesitation, "Please speak."

"Western Chu must have planted many spies in Qian Kingdom. Please help me keep an eye out for a woman from Qian Kingdom, who should be around twenty years old and carrying a jade pendant engraved with the words 'Longxuan'."

Yu Ningyan frowned deeply: "Although Qian Kingdom is small, it has four states. Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Lu Feng rolled his eyes. He had been searching for it for seven or eight years without success. If it were easy, would he have asked for your help?

"Princess, please keep an eye out for me. If you can find me, Lu Feng, I will surely repay you handsomely in the future. Farewell!"

Seeing Lu Feng get up and leave, Yu Ningyan didn't try to stop him, her eyes filled with amusement.

"Interesting. It seems the Qian Kingdom refused to give him the Jade Dragon Pill, so this guy gave up. Should we get a fake woman to fool him?"

After thinking it over, Yu Ningyan rejected the idea. After all, Lu Fengyi hadn't said what he wanted to do with the other party, nor what the jade pendant looked like, which meant he was wary of her.

"This guy is frighteningly intelligent."

After offering a compliment, Yu Ningyan muttered to herself in annoyance, "How dare you refuse me! Have you ever seen a woman more beautiful than me?"

At another location in the state guesthouse

The rest of the Western Chu delegation gathered together and looked at Wei Qingfeng: "Lu Feng has left, but this matter of humiliating the princess cannot be left like this!"
