Chapter 12 – Princess Mia


Levi Wang was stunned, incredulously staring at the shattered wine pot in his hand. It took him a moment to react, his eyes blazing with fury: “How dare you, Terra Su! I kindly offered you a drink, and you smashed the pot!”

Not just Levi Wang, but everyone else present was taken aback. The secret bronze wine pot was incredibly sturdy; how had Terra Su so easily punctured it with a mere chopstick?

Was it a fluke?

Or did this unassuming young man harbor some oddity?

Impatience shone in Terra Su’s eyes. As the Emperor Terra, he had no time to play house with these green youths. With a lift of his eyes, he said indifferently, “I’m leaving. Enjoy your meal.”

With that, Terra Su stood up.

Levi Wang’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. Before Terra Su could turn around, Levi kicked over a chair: “You smashed the Wang Family’s pot and think you can just leave? Not so easy!”

As he spoke, Levi lifted his other leg and aimed a kick at Terra Su’s chest!

But before his foot could connect,

Terra Su’s fist shot out like lightning, striking first despite being later to move, and landed fiercely on the bottom of Levi’s foot.

A muffled grunt followed.

Then came the teeth-gritting “crack” sound.

And after that, Levi’s pig-like screams!

His right leg had actually fractured under Terra Su’s punch!

“How is this possible?” Levi’s face looked as if he’d seen a ghost. He had thought that as a disciple expelled from the Orthodox One Sect, Terra Su wouldn’t have much skill.

But to his surprise, Terra Su had shown strength several times his own right from the start!

For a moment, Levi felt a chill in his heart, and the throbbing pain in his right leg nearly knocked him unconscious!

Terra Su sneered. In his past life, Levi had taken advantage of his crippled Dantian to trample and humiliate him. Now, he was merely collecting a bit of interest.

“Get lost!” Terra Su grabbed Levi’s ankle and tossed him out like a piece of cargo, crashing through a row of chairs.

Levi lay on the ground like a broken sack, his mouth and nose bleeding profusely.

“Terra Su, you’ve injured a member of the Wang Family. What should your crime be?”

It took a while before Olivia Wang’s shrill scream brought the stunned crowd back to their senses.

None of them had expected Terra Su and Levi Wang’s confrontation to end like this.

Even Emma Jiang was shocked beyond measure. Levi was no pushover; among their group, he could easily rank in the top five.

Could her cousin, whom she considered a useless weakling, actually possess the strength to crush Levi?

Whoosh—

Miles Ye suddenly stood up, his usually gentle and smiling eyes now condensed with a hint of fierceness: “Brother Su, you’ve made a mistake.”

Miles Ye’s tone was calm yet carried an innate authority, as if his words were the absolute law.

“Apologize to Levi Wang and break one of your own legs, then we can consider this matter closed.”

Miles Ye’s command was natural, as if he was the master of the room.

Emma’s heart raced. After witnessing what had just happened, she knew Terra Su would not comply with Miles Ye’s order—

Sure enough, the next moment, Terra Su’s indifferent voice rang out: “If you want to fight, then fight. Why all the nonsense?”

The room fell silent at his words. Had Terra Su gone mad? Did he think that just because he could break Levi’s leg, he had the guts to stand against Miles Ye?

Emma’s heart was in her throat. Levi’s strength was decent, ranking among the top five present, but compared to Miles Ye, the gap was vast!

All the young people present were in the Inducing Qi Realm, except for Miles Ye, who had broken through to the Condensing Origin Realm, putting him in a different league from everyone else.

A Condensing Origin Realm powerhouse could destroy dozens of Inducing Qi Realm martial practitioners with a wave of the hand; it was no exaggeration.

For Terra Su to contend with Miles Ye was nothing short of a fantasy!

Miles Ye’s eyes narrowed, clearly annoyed.

“In Clear River City, you’re the first to challenge Brother Ye’s authority!” Several youths by Miles Ye’s side suddenly stood up, overturning the table, and the atmosphere became tense.

The commotion spread throughout the Drunk Immortal Residence.

At the same time,

In the Drunk Immortal Residence’s third-floor VIP room, a beautiful girl in white, with a dignified air, sat opposite a portly middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man’s face was a mix of emotions as he sighed: “It’s been years since we last met, Princess. You’ve grown so graceful. I’ve gotten old.”

The girl said, “Shopkeeper Qin, it’s been a long time. Are you well?”

“Well, of course,” the portly man nodded repeatedly, “but in my midnight dreams, I often reminisce about the days when I served by the Prince’s side!”

With that, a nostalgic look crossed the middle-aged man’s face.

This portly man was none other than the shopkeeper of the Drunk Immortal Residence, Qin Shopkeeper, but he had another identity unknown to many—he had once served for twenty years by the side of Anyang Prince, who once dominated a region and managed five cities in the south!

Later, as he aged, he left the Prince’s side and came to Clear River City to establish his own business, founding the most luxurious Drunk Immortal Residence.

And the girl before him was none other than Princess Mia, the beloved daughter of the Anyang Prince!

“Why has the Princess come to Clear River City?” Qin Shopkeeper asked curiously. With Princess Mia’s noble status, she usually lived in the Prince’s mansion in Anyang City, and her outings were always accompanied by a large entourage. How had she come to Clear River City alone?

Princess Mia said, “It’s a long story. I only had Old Jiang accompanying me this time, and he was injured protecting me from a Cold-Hearted Python. Fortunately, we met a master in Clear River City’s Five Treasures Hall who cured Old Jiang’s injury, or I wouldn’t know how to explain it to my father upon returning.”

Qin Shopkeeper smiled: “Master Li of the Five Treasures Hall indeed has some real skills. I didn’t expect him to be able to cure the poison of a Cold-Hearted Python. That’s truly rare.”

Princess Mia shook her head: “I’m not talking about Master Li!”

“Not Master Li?” Qin Shopkeeper was surprised, “Right, today is the day Grandmaster Mo presides over the Five Treasures Hall. Was it Grandmaster Mo who cured the poison?”

“No, it was a young man named Terra Su.”

“A young man?” Qin Shopkeeper was astonished, searching his memory for this name. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t recall a young man named Terra Su among the younger generation in Clear River City, nor did any of the well-known Martial Dao families bear the Su surname.

“Princess, did I hear you correctly? A young man cured the poison of a Cold-Hearted Python?” Qin Shopkeeper, though not an Alchemy Master himself, was extremely surprised.

For a young man to possess such skill could only mean one thing: his background was not simple!

“You heard correctly,” Princess Mia nodded lightly, “I mentioned earlier that I wanted to host a guest in the VIP room, and it’s him. He saved Old Jiang’s life, so he’s also my benefactor.”

“Speaking of which, it’s been a while since the appointed time, why hasn’t he arrived?” Princess Mia wondered.

Qin Shopkeeper speculated: “Perhaps something delayed him on the way?”

Just then, the commotion from downstairs reached the VIP room, and Qin Shopkeeper’s expression changed slightly: “It seems someone is causing trouble downstairs!”

The next moment, a Drunk Immortal Residence attendant rushed into the VIP room, reporting: “Shopkeeper, there’s a fight in the guest room downstairs, and they’re about to come to blows!”

Princess Mia said, “Shopkeeper Qin, you go handle it. I’ll wait here for Terra Su.”

Qin Shopkeeper apologized repeatedly and then left the VIP room to head to the first-floor guest room.
