Chapter 28: Frightening the Princess

  "These weapons must be priceless treasures! Otherwise, they wouldn't be stored in the king's private treasury. If I were to take them all away, the king would definitely fight me to the death! Never mind, I've already taken so much of the king's money, I won't take these weapons, let's just say I'm showing great mercy. However... damn it, this room is full of the best weapons! If I don't take even one, wouldn't that be too cruel to myself?" Yang Jue exclaimed.

  "Alright, I won't take too much, I'll just take one! If I only take one, the king wouldn't be embarrassed to ask for it back either!" Yang Jue thought, "But there are so many weapons here, which one should I take?"

  Yang Jue looked at each of the weapons displayed in the dark room one by one, and they all seemed good, so he was momentarily undecided on which one to choose.

  Suddenly, Yang Jue noticed a rectangular red box. The box was placed in the center of the dark room, displayed on a high platform, carved with extremely luxurious patterns and inlaid with extremely precious blue sapphires.

  "With a box as exquisite as this, how can the things placed inside be ordinary objects?" As he muttered to himself, Yang Jue opened the long box.

  "Plop!"

  To everyone's surprise, as soon as the box was opened, a wave of scorching heat that almost reached the intensity of flames suddenly burst out of the box, and Yang Jue nearly got burned.

  "Whoa! What is this thing?" As the heat wave dissipated, Yang Jue leaned into the box and saw a strange sword with a body that was completely red like molten lava lying inside. Wave after wave of intense fire elemental magic fluctuations were constantly emanating from the sword, causing the temperature in the dark room to rise sharply.

  "Fire Dragon Sword." On the hilt of the sword shaped like a dragon's head, Yang Jue saw these three words.

  "What is this sword?" Curious, Yang Jue couldn't help but reach into the box and pick up the Huo Long Sword.

  As soon as it was grasped, a thread of heat could be felt, but it didn't scald the hand. With a light swing, a dragon-shaped flame burst out from the sword tip and roared wildly in the air for a moment before gradually disappearing.

  "What a great sword! It actually has such a function!" Yang Jue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. One can imagine, if they were to go onto the battlefield and face the enemy's thousands of troops, all it would take is one swing of the Fire Dragon Sword and suddenly a fire dragon would charge towards the enemy army... What a magnificent scene that would be!

  Such a good thing, don't take it for nothing! So, Yang Jue decisively put the Fire Dragon Sword into his own spatial ring.

  *……

  As he walked out of the treasury, he saw Berg, the commander of the Imperial Guard, waiting for him.

  "Baron, you've been in there for so long, how come you haven't taken anything?" Berg saw that Yang had both hands empty and thought he was going to leave the treasure mountain with nothing.

  "How did you know I didn't take it? Actually, I have this." Yang Jue waved the spatial ring in his hand. "Do you know what this is? A spatial ring! It's no problem to store a mountain of gold inside." Yang Jue said with a smile.

  "What? Spatial ring? Baron, you actually have a spatial ring?" Berg's eyes widened like pigeon eggs.

  "What? Can't I have one?" Yang Jue asked with a smile.

  "No, no, of course not, it's just...". Berg suddenly remembered something and rushed into the treasury. His face turned green as he saw that a large mountain of gold had been reduced to just a small pile. "My god! A whole mountain of gold has been reduced to this... such a small amount!" Berg's face looked worse than if he were crying. "This won't do! I must report this to the king at once!" Berg made his decision immediately.

  "Baron, I have a sudden matter to attend to. If you'll excuse me, the beautiful rear garden of the palace is just through that gate. You might enjoy taking a stroll while I'm gone; I'll be back directly." Berg pointed to a moon gate not far away.

  "Alright, you go ahead." Yang Jue knew that Bo Ge was in a hurry to report to the king about his sudden loss of half of his property, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

  Having obtained permission, Berg immediately ran like flying.

  "What's the garden behind the palace like? It should be pretty nice!" After Berg left, Yang Jue went to the back garden out of curiosity.

  The garden behind the palace.

  Beautiful scenery, fake mountains stand tall, among the lush flowers, only to see pavilions and buildings built by the water, showing elegant and refined beauty, in the air, there are also occasional wafts of fragrance.

  "It's truly a beautiful garden, worthy of being the king's backyard! As he strolled along, changing his view with every step, Yang Jue couldn't help but sigh at how lovely each scene in the garden was."

  Suddenly, Yang Jue walked to a place and saw a girl of seven or eight years old reading on a swing covered with flowering vines. The little girl was beautiful and elegant, with clear eyebrows and eyes, although she was still young, but already a beauty in the making.

  "In the king's backyard, swinging and reading a book, it's probably the king's daughter, that is, the princess. Hehe, let me tease this little princess!" Yang Jue suddenly had an idea, so he decided to play a trick on his opponent, and quietly approached him."

  Bang!

  However, as he crept up quietly towards the swing, Yang Jue accidentally kicked over a flower pot.

  "Oh no, I'm going to be discovered!" Yang Jue immediately squatted behind the flower bushes and hid. "Hehe! This is great, I can scare her now!" Yang Jue secretly laughed to himself.

  "Who is it?" The little princess immediately jumped down from the swing on that side.

  "Meow~~" Yang Jue learned a cat's cry on the spot, intentionally luring the little princess over.

  "Who? Who's hiding there?! Come out!" The little princess could naturally tell that the cat cry was an imitation by a human.

  "You call me out and I'll come out? Hmph! Just wait and see how I scare you to death! Meow~~" Yang Jue let out another strange cry.

  Upon hearing the second strange meow, the little princess seemed to hesitate. "Hey, who is it? If you don't come out, I'll have the guards catch you!" The little princess said.

  "All right, you call out, no harm in telling you, I'm not afraid of the guards." Yang Jue couldn't help but speak up, pinching his nose and shouting in a strange voice.

  "Who? Who's speaking?" The little princess looked around, but couldn't find the source of the voice.

  "It's me. Little girl, don't worry about it, I'm a ghost, so calling the guards is useless." Yang Jue said intentionally.

  "What? You say you're a ghost? Don't be ridiculous! There's no such thing as ghosts in this world!" Although she said that, the little princess was clearly getting nervous. "I'm warning you, come out quickly and stop pretending to be a ghost, or else I'll really call the guards to catch you!" The little princess tried to calm herself down.

  "I'm not cheating you, I'm really a ghost! If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself over by the flower bushes." After saying this, Yang Jue covered his mouth and secretly laughed, no longer speaking.

  "A flower cluster? Do you think I dare not?"

  "To be honest with you, I'm a very brave princess, I've never been afraid of anything, and I don't believe in ghosts at all."

  "Even if you're a ghost, I'm not afraid! Hmph! I've already come this far! If you know what's good for you, I advise you to run away quickly! Otherwise, hmph..."

  ……

  The little princess said many words of encouragement, but she stood still on the spot and didn't dare to approach the flower bush where Yang Jue was.

  "Hey, I'm talking to you, are you dumb? Why aren't you reacting at all?" The little princess asked angrily as she saw no one responding.

  At this time, no matter what the little princess said, Yang Jue would not respond. As it is said that everyone has a curious heart, the little princess will eventually be unable to resist coming over.

  Yang Jue's prediction came true.

  At last, the little princess saw that no one answered her for half a day, hesitated for a long time, and then tentatively stepped towards the flower cluster.

  And that was the moment for Yang Jue and others! When the little princess approached the flower cluster with her head held high, Yang Jue put on a skull mask that he had picked up from who-knows-where, then suddenly jumped out and let out a loud shout.

  "Wow!" Yang Jue exclaimed.

  "Ah......" The little princess's body suddenly shook violently, and then... she actually fell to the ground, fainting.

  "Isn't it? So unprepared? Fainted like this?" Yang Jue took off his mask, saying with a mixture of laughter and tears.
