Chapter 195 “Natural Born Plaything”
Within a secret chamber of the palace, Consort Luo was currently having a furious fit while Hong Feng stood by her side. Unmoving, the man was shadowed by gloom like the dark room they were in.
“What rainbow peony, what heavens blessing, it’s all but a ploy by that bitch Yun Xiu (Queen).” Just thinking of the reunion between the king and that woman was enough to make her scream in agony like someone’s knifing her in the heart.
Now that the sixth prince has recovered and the revival of the king’s favor towards the queen, it will just be a matter of time before their long-term plan becomes ruined. The frustration over this impending fate wouldn’t subside no matter what she did.
“Your Grace, this matter is abnormal. I’m sure you are aware of Queen Liu’s personality. Do you think a woman like her is capable of coming up with this comprehensive plan on her own?” Through the consort’s explanation, Hong Feng has gotten a complete story of yesterday’s event in the royal garden.
From his daughter falling into the water, to the rainbow peony being salvaged, to both girls being beaten, and finally to the return of the sixth prince in front of the world. Through these series of events, everyone has now taken it all as a blessing by the heavens and even went as far to forget the horrid incident of the guy killing another prince.

Unlike Consort Luo whose blinded by jealousy, he can clearly smell the unusual flavor hanging in the air.
“Now that you mentioned it, that Yun Xiu isn’t the type of character to have that sort of scheming capability. She’s weak and easily deceived. Then is it the dowager? That old hag’s been wary of me all these years. Even the maid I planted in her place was removed recently.” After being reminded, she herself also found it strange.
“There’s something fishy about it so we need to investigate further. However, our immediate priority lies with the sixth prince. He’s born of the queen so it’s a definite that the king will turn his sight on the boy now that he’s recovered. If we let that happen, all the efforts and planning we put in place will all be in vain.”
As a clever man, how can Hong Feng not see the sixth prince was far superior to the fourth prince? Now that everything has come to this, the road ahead has become a shaky one. Whether or not he should continue on this path was now up for debate.
Regarding the man’s thought pattern, how can Consort Luo not see through it. “I can never allow the queen and his son to regain their influences again. Hong Feng, if you can help my son smoothly take the crown, I will see to it that there’s more than just the ‘Reincarnation Dan Pills’ that I promised.” At those words, she then brought out a box. Within it are several pills of equal size with a yellow pattern at the middle.
When facing the items on the table, Hong Feng immediately shrank his eyes in for those are the prized reincarnation Dan pills in which he sought so long and hard.
Unlike the more commonly found pills in the market, reincarnation Dan pills are much rarer to find and can only be produced by a senior alchemist, meaning only Master Jia Hou can create them within the kingdom. However, that old president was perennially away on travel. As such, the only source was cut off. And due to the short supply of this specific Dan pill on the market, much thanks to its difficulty and time needed to produce, not even Hong Feng or his father can get their hands on one easily.
Though expensive and rare, sixth grade Dan pills are still a commodity that can usually be found in the auctions throughout the land. What made this specific variety so special was its use. Completely pointless for martialists of the other realms, only a reincarnation master can partake on it. Once consumed, the effects will greatly increase the user’s likelihood of making it through the elemental trials that occurs during one’s advancement.
As they all know, a reincarnation martialist needs to endure over six trials before they can advance into the “Avatar Realm”, each deadlier than the last. If one becomes careless and fails, the likelihood would be a serious injury, if not, they might be forever stuck at that level.
As the strongest publicly known figures in Da Xia, Marquis Wu and Marquis Hong are both masters of the fifth element in the reincarnation realm, but due to the hefty risk involved with further advancement, neither of them dared to take the final step.
For Hong Feng himself, he had gone through the elemental trials twice. The first fire trial was through the support of his father that he was able to make it, the second was thanks to his wife gifting him with a reincarnation Dan pill in which she got from her sect. Now for the following third trial, Hong Feng personally don’t have any confidence. No support of his father nor outside help, what’s he supposed to do?
Now that’s where Consort Luo comes into the equation. It’s unknown where the woman managed to learn of his reliance on a pill to make it to the second element, but he’s more than happy when she offered him more a while back. Towards the temptation of advancing even further and gaining more power, Hong Feng simply can’t resist it.
“Your Grace, may I know where you managed to get your hands on so many of these pills?” According to what Hong Feng knew, even the sect in which his wife belonged to had a limited supply of the stuff.
Although Consort Luo was a highly favored concubine of the king, but compared to the various otherworldly sects out there, she’s nothing much.
A yellow pattern reincarnation Dan pill was equal to five inferior blue ones, and there’s over five yellow pills in that box! Hong Feng understands very what he needed. Five blue ones to make it through the third trial, then another ten blue ones for the fourth trial. If he can get his hands on all five eventually, he’s set until he needs to attempt the fifth trial!
Such huge temptation, how can he deny it!
“You have no need to know where I got these from, but know this. If you can help my son succeed, there will be more than just these for you in the future. And be assured, they are all genuine.” Picking up one from the box, Consort Luo tosses it over to him.
Receiving it with both hands, Hong Feng didn’t need more persuasion at this point. Just holding the thing was enough to stimulate the energy inside his body.
“Your Grace can rest assured. I will forever be loyal to you and the crown prince.” As a person of self-interest, he can see this path was now the right one.
Now that the matter with Hong Feng was settled, her heart can rest at ease. With a clap of her hands, she motions a maid to lead another person inside.
The newcomer was shrouded under a cloak so it was difficult to discern the person’s appearance.
“I heard that in a few days you and his majesty will be out hunting in the eastern suburbs. I want you to offer this person to the king on that day.” A strange light emulates out of her eyes when saying this.
Like a signal at the end of that sentence, the newcomer removes the cloak to reveal what’s underneath.
Against that exquisite face, Hong Feng became uncharacteristically sluggish like he’s lost in a daze.
The woman was fire, sexy and burning hot like an enchanting succubus. Around twenty years of age, the woman had tender skin like a baby lamb, rosy lips like a strawberry, and a sinful body curve with an exploding mound. Worst part of all, she only wore a near transparent silken undergarment which left her wide open for ogling.
Just the fact that the woman was standing there before him was enough to make Hong Feng go parch in his throat. Then before he knew it, he was gulping like an amateur that had just witnessed the female body for the first time.
Evidently aware of the man’s captivation with herself and her assets, the woman giggles with that melodic voice and shoots him a wink.
The woman’s a natural born plaything. From her voice down to her demeanor, everything about her screamed “come dominate me”.

Can’t wait to see the ending of the Hong family… Thanks for this chapter.
Consort Luo is probably supported by one of those evil alchemists mentioned in previous chapters. At first I thought it was Hong Feng who was supplying her with the alchemist info that was used to mess with the sixth prince before but this chapter shows that is not the case.
And for some reason, Ling Yue, a 14 y.o., is still considered more beautiful. Not to mention those “manly” pedos and what not, who is far more beautiful than Ling Yue again.
As mentioned earlier in the series, the youngest age to get married there is 13 for women and 15 for men. Weird for us but normal for the characters in the story.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for the chapter!!!
… What?
i like this fast phase, thanks for the chapter. can i again ask you to inform us if by any chance anyone takes up your old traslation.law of the devil ty.
I wouldn’t put much hope in someone else picking up LOD.
From what i can tell, there’s aren’t that many translators out there that can read chinese and have enough knowledge about the slang and poems to translate it.
If I have to rate the level of difficulty of translating LOD out of ten, i would put it at 8/10. In comparison, something like Battle Through the Heavens is 7/10 and miracle doctor is 4/10.
time to learn chinese then xD
Thank you for the chapters !!
Thanks for the chapter!
Finally Catch up~
hmm? is the consort being used by Evil Alchemists?
suspicious, suspicious consort… I’m so glad Ling Yue and mom got out of that house, with that kind of pig father ewwwww
thanks for the chapter o/
Yeah if there is one thing that the Chinese novels I’ve seen translated seem to do it is emptily ramble about beauty without actually describing the woman in question… >_>
Now other than that I suspect that that “beauty” is probably one of the evil alchemists herself considering nothing about that seems natural whatsoever…
Lol, yaaa. Most chinese authors on the net does a piss poor job at it and simply ramble on with the description in 1 giant paragraph.
That’s like the biggest taboo in writing because its horrible.
People can’t remember blonde/red eye/peach lip/high butt/long leg/sad face/sexy hands/ugly ears/ and etc etc
Poison the new girl on the face >_>
Thank you for the chapter (*´??*)??+? *? fu
