Chapter 363 - 113: A Sea of Flowers Ten Miles Wide, That Yellow Flower (Please Subscribe)_2
Different Treasures are incomparably precious, and since most of them appear out of thin air, they cannot be artificially created or transformed. Therefore, most people in the world can only rely on fortune, hoping that one day they might be lucky enough to stumble upon a Different Treasure.
And now, suddenly someone told them that there is a special physique that can materialize Different Treasures.
It can be foreseen how crazy the news would make the people of the world.
On an ordinary day, being able to obtain one or two Grey-rank or White-rank Exotic Treasures would already make them ecstatic,
As Zhang Rui was explaining to Cheng Guang, he looked down at the teahouse below, at the girl in the yellow dress walking on the street with an innocent and carefree face, and couldn’t help but express his doubts:
"Logically speaking, with such a special physique, the Crown Princess Consort has always been hidden deep in the palace by the Crown Prince, closely guarded, and rarely allowed to go out. How come she was allowed out today?"
"Could it be that her time is near, and the Crown Prince, having a soft heart, let the Crown Princess Consort out to fulfill her worldly wishes?"
Cheng Guang glanced at Zhang Rui, tapped the table lightly with a finger, and asked casually, "Is she about to turn eighteen?"
Zhang Rui nodded slightly, "Yes, Princely Heir, it has been five years since the Crown Princess Consort was discovered by the Crown Prince and conferred the title. When she was brought into the imperial capital, she was about ten years old. By now, she should be close to eighteen." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Upon hearing this, Cheng Guang’s brows furrowed slightly, the girl who seemed innocent and had not experienced much of the world’s malice would not be long for this world.
He wondered if she knew how special her physique was.
Zhang Rui, seeming to have guessed what Cheng Guang was thinking, spoke in a timely manner to explain.
"Princely Heir, the Crown Prince has kept the special nature of the Crown Princess Consort’s body quite a secret, and she herself is unaware."
Zhang Rui sighed after saying this, his face showing a complex expression.
She had been conferred the title of Crown Princess Consort and would soon be married. At that time, she would give herself, something she considered precious, to the Crown Prince.
But little did she know, her wedding would also mark the time of her death.
Such a fate, for any person, is the cruelest, but it is the destiny of the Crown Princess Consort.
Carrying a body with treasure, it was impossible for her to end well no matter what.
No matter how hard she tried, her years would cease at eighteen.
After listening to Zhang Rui, Cheng Guang’s expression did not fluctuate much. After looking at the girl in the yellow dress downstairs again, he lost interest in watching.
His gaze shifted away from the girl in the yellow dress.
At that moment, Zhang Rui made a soft "eh" sound, "Wait, Princely Heir, is this girl in the yellow dress leaving the city?"
"If she is leaving the city, why does she only have an old servant with her? Isn’t the Crown Prince afraid something might happen?"
Zhang Rui quickly summoned some people to inquire about it.
Shortly after, someone returned with a report.
After learning the reason, Zhang Rui’s expression changed subtly. He quickly walked up to Cheng Guang, bowed slightly, and said:
"Princely Heir, it’s said that the Crown Princess Consort wished to visit her home, and the Crown Prince allowed her to go back to her hometown."

"Throughout the journey, the Crown Prince didn’t take any protective measures near the Crown Princess Consort, only arranging for a frail old man without any cultivation to accompany her."
"Many in the Martial World couldn’t understand what the Crown Prince was thinking, but after the Crown Princess Consort left, those who heard the news felt it was an opportune moment to strike."
Zhang Rui said this and looked down at the girl in the yellow dress who was walking down the street toward the outer city.
"Right now, the Crown Princess Consort hasn’t left the capital yet, so no one dares to act. But once she’s out of the capital, some desperate rogues, I am afraid, will not resist the temptation of the Different Treasure and would act against the Crown Princess Consort."
"Princely Heir, should we get involved?"
After speaking, Zhang Rui’s gaze returned to Cheng Guang, asking respectfully.
Having heard Zhang Rui’s words, Cheng Guang neither shook his head nor nodded.
He just slowly furrowed his brows, puzzled.
How could the Crown Prince of Great Yan, who’d been protecting the treasure-carrying Crown Princess Consort in the palace for four or five years and never let her go out, suddenly allow her to leave?
Did he truly think that just because the Crown Princess Consort was homesick, she could regain her freedom?
It wasn’t supposed to be like this, was it?
The Crown Prince of Great Yan, after all, was the heir to a kingdom; he wouldn’t be so driven by his emotions.
Even if he was overflowing with sympathy and wanted to let the Crown Princess Consort see her homeland before she died, he wouldn’t fail to arrange a powerful expert to be by her side.
This was clearly a trap to lure someone into making a move.
The situation was very strange.
But he could not discern the Crown Prince’s intentions.
Cheng Guang speculated that perhaps many desperate rogues would not be able to resist the temptation of the Different Treasure and would take the risk to act against the Crown Princess Consort.
That would inevitably cause a bloody storm to arise.
Stirring up a bloody storm in the Great Yan Dynasty and the Martial World, what benefit would come to the Crown Prince?
Cheng Guang couldn’t figure it out; his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but he knew he didn’t need to get involved in this fuss.
He didn’t lack Different Treasures.
Nor was he a man with an overabundance of sympathy.
Meddling in others’ affairs was not his style.
So he planned to just observe.
At this moment, Cheng Guang suddenly noticed that the girl in the yellow dress, just as she was about to pass the teahouse, turned back and entered the teahouse.
"Waiter, bring some tea."
The girl in the yellow dress sat down eagerly at a nearby table, her fair and tender legs swinging gently.
