TRT -Chapter 26 Prince Luo and Luo Cheng

When Luo Cheng, using some mysterious technique, unknowingly stripped off my first layer of clothing, a line of huge words flashed clearly through my chaotic mind: “You brought this upon yourself. You deserve it!”

I struggled desperately like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Luo Cheng stared at my twisting, struggling body, and his gaze was becoming more and more dangerous! I was so scared that my whole body stiffened, and I immediately stopped moving, afraid that I might accidentally provoke him!

This guy, though—seeing that I had stopped struggling, he forcefully spread my legs with his knee. Up top, he buried his head in a deep French kiss; down below, his hands swiftly undid my belt, preparing to charge straight in!

I was so frightened that even my tongue went numb!

When something hot and hard pressed tightly between my legs, tears immediately fell from my eyes. My whole body trembled uncontrollably. My brain completely crashed.

Lying stiffly beneath Luo Cheng, tears falling like rain, my mind kept looping through all kinds of irrelevant nonsense:

“Women’s weapons are tears and smiles.”

“Close combat relies on teeth and nails.”

“Life is like this—if you can’t resist, just enjoy it.”

“True warriors dare to face dripping blood.”

Even Lu Xun’s ‘There are two trees behind my house, one is a peach tree, the other is also a peach tree’ came up…

(I think this isn’t a crash anymore. It’s a virus.)

Noticing something wrong with me, Luo Cheng stopped. He gently brushed away the strands of hair by my temple and asked softly:

“What’s wrong? Why is your face so pale? Did I hurt you?”

“…N-never…”

“Never what?”

“…I’ve… I’ve never… done it…”

“You’re a virgin? That’s even better~ It’s okay, I’ll be gentle… Why are you crying? Don’t cry, be good~”

Luo Cheng gently wiped away my tears and coaxed me softly.

“…N-no… That’s not it… I mean… I mean I’ve never seen a man and a woman do it… I only know that between men, you put it into ##, or lick ##, or use ??￥￥%% as tools…”

I was already so scared that I didn’t even know what I was saying.

Luo Cheng’s muscles stiffened, and the black lines on his face multiplied rapidly…

Clearly, my nervousness and my “male-male theory” had shocked him. He stared at me for a long time without making another move.

Crying and crying, I actually calmed down first.

Don’t panic, don’t panic. Since I’m the female lead, no matter how unreasonable it is, a hero-saving-the-damsel scene will definitely happen in a crisis like this! Right? …Probably… (Not very confident.)

If not, I can save myself. Didn’t they say close combat depends on teeth and nails? (And I actually remembered it.)

Next time his neck comes close, I’ll bite his artery!

Wait… where is the artery?

While I was thinking nonsense, Luo Cheng suddenly sighed deeply, pulled me into his arms, and lay down on his side, no longer moving.

“You little brat, you ruined all my mood~ Forget it, there’s plenty of time in the future.”

I almost burst into tears of gratitude and wanted to shout: “Yes, yes, plenty of time!”

“Luo Cheng, your decision is so wise!”

But before I could express my gratitude, his next sentence choked me.

“However, I’m still going to settle accounts with you for seducing my big brother today and plotting to steal the Weiyang Sect’s treasure. Let me think… How about I punish you by making you marry me as soon as possible?”

He looked at me with smiling, bright eyes.

“W-What?!”

When did I seduce his brother?!

How did he know I came to steal the Weiyang Sect’s treasure?!

And most importantly—who wants to marry you?!

There was so much shocking information in one sentence that I was left speechless, not knowing what to ask first.

Seeing me staring at him blankly, mouth slightly open, Luo Cheng happily kissed me.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as agreement~”

He hugged me tightly and said with satisfaction:

“I’ve waited so long… I finally got you… Our wish can finally come true…”

I slowly turned to face Luo Cheng, who was lost in his own thoughts.

I lowered my head and burrowed into his arms.

Searching for his artery.

Then, I opened my fangs and bit down without guilt!

“Ah!!!”

It’s said that many people in Prince Luo’s residence heard a wild scream that night…

I quickly retreated behind the table, staring at Luo Cheng holding his bleeding neck, and shouted:

“First! I don’t even know your brother, let alone seduce him!

Second! I take responsibility for what I do! I came here to steal! If you have guts, send me to the authorities! Don’t use private punishment!

And most importantly—third! I will absolutely not marry you!!”

In pain and anger, Luo Cheng’s eyes were terrifying.

“Not marrying? Fine~ I only wanted to give you a proper status because I like you. Anyway, what’s going to happen will happen. If you don’t want the title, then don’t marry…”

Seeing him stagger as he stood up, I panicked and rushed toward the door.

He followed.

I panicked.

My hands wouldn’t cooperate.

No matter how hard I pulled, the door wouldn’t open!

His presence was getting closer.

“Come here…” he said softly behind me.

Only an idiot would go over!

I panicked and kicked the door.

“Don’t test my patience. Come here!”

His voice grew deeper. It usually sounded so charming—why did it sound so scary now?!

You’re already angry! Of course I won’t go!

I struggled desperately, and suddenly the door opened. I rushed out—and crashed into a wall of flesh!

My arms were restrained.

“What’s going on? Why all this noise?”

Prince Luo said coldly.

Like a comrade who had finally found his organization, I burst into tears and threw myself into his arms, pointing at Luo Cheng and wailing:

“Ahhhh he wants me—”

Luo Cheng remained unmoved, glanced at me dissatisfied, then sat down and treated his wound.

“He wants you?”

Prince Luo frowned like the head of the family, looked at Luo Cheng, then at my messy clothes.

I quickly showed the bruises on my wrist, the torn belt, and other “evidence.”

His brows furrowed even more “artistically.”

Haha! Luo Cheng, you’re finished!

“Didn’t even take off her inner clothes, and you still couldn’t succeed after all this time? I gave you such a good opportunity, and you even got yourself hurt. I’m disappointed.”

I stared at Prince Luo in shock, like I had facial paralysis.

Is this the head of a family?!

This is clearly a living wolf grandmother!!!

My mind was in chaos.

Why was Prince Luo helping Luo Cheng?

Why did Luo Cheng insist on sleeping with me?

What exactly is their relationship?

After Prince Luo settled me by the table, I looked at them blankly, thinking how to get information from them.

Luo Cheng let Prince Luo treat his wound and just stared at me silently.

“Minmin, do you like me even a little?”

Hearing him call my name for the first time, I was surprised, then snorted.

“I don’t even know who you are. How could I like you?”

“Does liking me have anything to do with my identity?”

“Of course! You didn’t even tell me who you really are. That means you don’t trust me. If you don’t trust me, why should I like you?”

“I am Luo Cheng.”

He looked at me.

“Prince Luo’s biological younger brother. The ‘key’ to Fushan that you wanted to steal isn’t a real key. It’s a person. It’s me.”

Prince Luo paused.

I stared in shock.

“So… you’re from the Weiyang Sect… then why did you tell me the Hun Tian Pearl was in Prince Luo’s residence?”

“To keep you here.”

“Why go to so much trouble? Why me? Just because you like me? We’ve only known each other for days…”

“Of course because I like you. And most importantly… because you are Shenqi.”

“Shenqi? What Shenqi?”

“Minmin.”

Luo Cheng grabbed my hand and held it tightly.

“Marry me, okay?”

“If you don’t want to marry me, at least stay by my side, okay?”

“Don’t change the subject!”

I pulled my hand back.

“Tell me about Shenqi!”

“No.”

He grabbed my hand again.

“You have to promise first.”

“I…”

“Minmin, with my abilities, I could keep you even if you refuse. But I don’t want to force you. I want you to stay willingly… Even if it’s not forever, just one year—no, half a year. Okay?”

With both soft and hard tactics, what could I say?

I sighed.

“Fine… Then tell me what you want me to do…”

“You agreed?”

Luo Cheng jumped up happily, walked around the table, sat beside me, and hugged me.

“Speak properly when you talk! Don’t get handsy!” I slapped away the arm he had wrapped around my waist, but he shamelessly stuck to me again.

“Fine, fine, I’ll explain. But it’s a long story~ By the way, Kitty, don’t you think I’m especially fickle, marrying a whole mansion full of wives?”

“Get to the point!”

“This is the point~ I didn’t marry all those women because I’m lustful. I did it to cultivate my martial arts.”

I stared at him in shock.

What kind of obscene martial art is that?!?!

“You know, everything in the world has yin and yang. Martial arts are the same. Some are yin-type, some are yang-type. In Weiyang Sect, there are always two candidates for sect leader. One cultivates pure yang techniques—like my elder brother. To preserve his pure energy, he’s forbidden from getting close to women.

I looked at Prince Luo. No wonder he never reacted to my flirting! (That’s your bad technique, okay?) So this ‘pure yang’ cultivation is basically a disguised Sunflower Manual~

“The other candidate cultivates pure yin techniques—like me. So, in order to collect pure energy…”

“You have to work hard at getting close to women,” I summed up.

“Right~” Luo Cheng smiled and pinched my face.

“Then every ten years, the two heirs compete. The winner becomes sect leader, and the loser guards Mount Fu.”

“Oh~~ I get it. You couldn’t beat your brother, so you got stuck guarding the gate. Then you couldn’t stand being lonely, so you ran off everywhere and shamelessly camped at your brother’s house~~”

Prince Luo, who was drinking by himself, couldn’t help chuckling softly. “Good summary.”

Luo Cheng’s face turned red, then pale. He coughed awkwardly. “My brother knows my temperament. I’m not the type who can patiently go into seclusion. And I know his temperament too. This arrangement is good for both of us…”

Prince Luo silently sipped his tea.

I glanced left, then right. Why was the atmosphere between these two so weird?

“So… what does all this have to do with me?”

“I told you. You’re a Shenzi. The reason I’m inferior to my brother is…” Luo Cheng blinked shyly. “Between fourteen and eighteen is the best time for men to gather pure energy. But back then… I hated women. I didn’t want to sleep with them, so I missed the best period. My foundation has been weak ever since…”

I was dumbstruck.

This Luo Cheng! This cross-era pervert! This guy with a mansion full of wives!
He actually had a phase where he hated women and didn’t want to sleep with them?!

Then what happened later to make him turn out like this?!

“And ordinary women are too fragile to endure daily cultivation, so I had to marry more,” Luo Cheng shrugged.

I suddenly really wanted to punch him.

“Because my foundation was weak, no matter how hard I train now, I still can’t catch up to my brother.”

“Yes, I can tell you’re trying very hard,” I said, twitching as I looked at his aggrieved face.

“But now things are different.” He winked slyly at me. “According to ancient records, once every thousand years, a person appears who gathers a thousand years of pure energy. Cultivating with them for one day is better than ten years alone. That person is called a Shenzi. There’s also Shenfeng, who gathers pure yin. I thought it was just a legend—who knew I’d really meet one! The first time I saw you at Tianzu Temple, I was drawn by the unbelievable vitality on you. After investigating Master Mingjing, I confirmed you were that once-in-a-thousand-years Shenzi. I’m so lucky!”

“…What? Wait—are you saying I’m some kind of super yin person?! (Hey, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand!)”

I collapsed onto my chair.

Shenzi, my foot. To me, it just sounded like a super-rare super-effective strength pill… How depressing…

He wants to use me for cultivation?!

Wait—cultivation with Luo Cheng means…

Damn it! No wonder he keeps pushing me onto the bed!

But why am I a Shenzi? Was I born special? Or did something change when I crossed worlds? Why did Luo Cheng believe it after asking that monk? What did that bald monk tell him?!

“Wait, I still don’t get it. You want me to increase your strength, right?”

“And I really like you~”

“Save that for later.” I waved him off impatiently.
Luo Cheng leaned on the table pitifully.

“And you want more strength so you can beat Prince Luo, right?” I asked, looking at Prince Luo. “Would a normal person help you get me?”

“Aiya~ Kitty really is smart~ Right to the point~” Luo Cheng grinned and rubbed my head.

…

That night, the three of us talked until dawn. I finally learned some behind-the-scenes reasons—true or not:

First, Prince Luo preferred the quiet gatekeeper job, while Luo Cheng loved excitement and wanted real power. But neither would hold back in competition. Prince Luo also didn’t trust Luo Cheng enough. So only if Luo Cheng won next year’s tournament could both be happy.

Second, I was the key to Luo Cheng’s victory. They didn’t dare offend Big Fox, so they waited for him to offer me up.

Then came negotiations. Knowing I couldn’t outplay them, I signed an unequal treaty:

1. They’d retrieve Qingqing and Xiaotao and ensure their safety.
2. The Huntian Pearl would be mine after one year.
3. I must stay with Luo Cheng for at least a year. As for sex, he’d wait, but had to kiss me daily.

I hated myself for compromising.

More secrets:

Prince Luo’s true face—

He removed silver needles and transformed into a handsome version of Luo Cheng.

The women who entered his room?

They died.

His cultivation required releasing yin energy yearly, and no ordinary woman could survive it.

I realized how rare Luo Cheng’s gentleness toward women was in this era.

…

The next day, I urged Prince Luo to reclaim Xiaotao. Big Fox claimed he’d fallen in love with her and wanted to keep her another year. Disgusting.

Then Guo’er fell out with me.

He’d been untied and seen by everyone. Later, he stopped talking to me for a month. Only after I tearfully promised never to lie again did he forgive me. When he heard the last clause of the treaty, he exploded and resumed silent protest.

Between calming Guo’er, planning my return, resisting Luo Cheng, dealing with palace drama, and causing chaos, six months flew by.

Summer turned to winter.

When the first snow fell, Xiniang brought me news:

“The Sixth Prince of Changle City has rebelled.”
