Chapter 515 “The Inner Split of the Da Xia Team (p2)”

“What are you all doing?! When entering the Star Cave, we’ve all agreed to share the bounty.” Darkening in his face, Xia Hou Qi didn’t like where things are heading.

Besides, there’s a saying of favoring those close to the one you care for so he would of course want to help Ling Yue’s friends. It’s not like he doesn’t have good reasons here either, the members of the Hong House have gone too far to ignore.

“Prince Hou Qi, what you are saying is not right there. It’s true we agreed to share in the spoils, but we never agreed on the number of shares each should get. I and my junior sister did most of the work during the sword array trap back there, so, I believe we should retain sixty percent of the loots while the rest goes to the others. The alchemic recipes are yours to keep and we will take the Dan pills instead.” Luo Song proudly states his claim.

“Yes, this distribution method is quite fair if I do say so myself.” Manager Chou hurried to echo his support, leaving the other members of the Da Xia team following suit under the threatening gazes of the members of the Hong House.

This undoubtedly aggravated Prince Hou Qi since the members of his nation should be supporting him. After all, he’s royalty and their supposed ruler while the Hong House should be considered his subject. But more than being displeased, a sense of danger swiftly seeped into his bones because its obvious to him the Hong House has become a true threat to the crown. If he said it bluntly, treason wouldn’t be out of the question at this stage in time.

“Forget it Your Highness, it’s not worth the trouble.” Feng Xue knew all along this would happen. The prince may be unaware of what their true faces were but she’s not. During their journey right from the start, these people have never given her any good faces and went out of their way to exclude her.

“Hong Ming Yue, you will one day regret for your transgression today.” Understanding he won’t get anywhere like this, Xia Hou Qi had no choice but to back down.

But that’s obviously not going to bold well for the target of that threat. From the ice beauty’s eye, a gleam of murderous intent quickly flashed by and rescinded back into the shadows once her mind was made.

The Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill was already in sight. Once she has it and gives it to her grandfather Hong Qing Yun, it would mean the ascension of the Hong House. By then, a mere small kingdom like Da Xia could hardly be a threat. If that’s the case, why not just kill off this prince to avoid future trouble?

“Brother Luo.”

Getting the idea as well, Luo Song was just about to make a move when Xia Hou Qi beat him to the punch. In a blur of reality, the prince, the girl and her close friend Liu Cheng had disappeared in a flash of light.  

“Damn it!” Hong Ming Yue roared, enraged by the loss opportunity.

Right before the pair disappeared into nothingness, she had managed to get a glimpse of that jade tablet with the number five in the prince’s hand. This could only mean one thing, Xia Hou Qi’s been looking for the key to the next cave tunnel while they were busy looting the room!

Damn him, he’s never trusted us from the start. That’s why he prepared ahead of time!

After the incident, Manager Chou then quickly scoured the room for another key piece. This time instead of the number “five” though, it’s the number “three”. This indicated their next destination for the Star Cave Venture lies in the third cave tunnel while the two escapees are heading to the lower level.

For every cave tunnel that each team went into, there are always two jade tablets awaiting them at the end of each intersection. This it allows everyone to explore further if they wish, or to retreat to a lower tunnel if they find it too difficult to pursue better treasures.
