Chapter 1398: Chapter 523 Stumbling Stone_2

Following behind was Princess Amelia, even full of anticipation, she pinched her own cheeks. Ouch! It didn’t feel warm at all, no doubt, only her brother’s pinch would do...

Since she was little, the Grand Emperor had been extremely doting on Princess Amelia, never hitting or scolding her and fulfilling all her demands. However, this insincere and manipulative form of affection made her yearn for a real brother who would bully her.

Princess Amelia’s gaze gradually became resolute: I want this brother too! I will snatch him, and this chubby girl will be my competitor, my stumbling stone!

As for Princess Amelia’s promise to Hugo to deal with Owen Bertram — if I turned him into my good brother, wouldn’t he be part of the Demon Clan? It made sense logically, right?

Over these few days, apart from planning to snatch her brother, Divine Princess discovered that the fascinating cook behind the delicious food was the stumbling stone herself. This was great, snatch her brother and then enslave her, making her cook for me! Just thinking about this future life was exhilarating.

However, some mental manipulation needs to be done to the stumbling stone, or she might not listen obediently.

In this matter, Princess Amelia was skilled! In the past, at the Grand Emperor’s Palace, she had made those pitiful eunuchs realize that only Princess Amelia could tolerate their broken bodies and not blame their clumsiness, thus making them work even harder.

...

After searching the mountains for several days, Sun Daren finally realized that unless he did what he did in the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest and slashed a path through the mountains for several hundred miles, it would be impossible for the army to bypass the Mountain Range and appear behind Customs City.

Sun Daren couldn’t deliver the same level of power as he did in the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest. The greatest power of that sword was not only to cut through the mountains, but also to shatter the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest, where a Demon Array, capable of withstanding Seventh Realm attacks, was situated.

It’s not that Sun Daren is incapable of slashing through mountains with a single sword, but doing so would be meaningless. A Seventh Realm Supreme can open mountains, but once Sun Daren opens them, a Tire-7 Demon Saint could merely seal them back up. They both have top-level combat power, so doing this would be pointless.

Customs City is different from the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest. Sun Daren wants an intact and strong barrier that he can hold onto in the future, allowing him to complete his occupation of the territory he has seized this time.

So, for Sun Daren to launch a surprise attack from the rear and cut through the mountains would also be meaningless. Moreover, once Sun Daren succeeds with his sneak attack from behind, he would promptly think of ways to blockade it.

Over the past few days, Verna had made considerable gains, finding many mountain treasures and even hunting down several rare Demon Beasts. All of these ingredients were carried by Peter Liam on his small shoulders. Peter Liam had a Storage Brocade Pouch too, but the young lady didn’t allow him to put the precious ingredients in it, feeling that it would make the ingredients "less fresh".

Peter Liam, young and arrogant, stood out among his peers, declared, "How can men of my generation listen to the words of women!" Afterward, he was hit on the head by Lily and had two big bumps; nearly getting hit with a third bump, he changed his stance and said: "The young lady’s words are not entirely unreasonable."

Sun Daren’s conclusion was, "Cheap!"

"Let’s go, let’s go back." Sun Daren had already given up on bypassing Customs City, but suddenly saw a beautiful little girl walking out of the depths of the mountains.

Everyone was instantly on guard, as having a little girl appear mysteriously in such an environment must mean she’s a foe rather than a friend.

Sun Daren became serious, subconsciously standing in front of his sister, only he could sense that this seemingly harmless little girl was actually a Tire-7 Demon Saint!

Princess Amelia, calm and composed, strode towards Sun Daren, raising her flawless little face, "Elder Brother, do you have a sister?"

"Of course!" Verna poked her head out from behind her brother, baring her teeth and making a protective gesture.

Princess Amelia ignored her, weak girl, I will enslave you sooner or later!

"Would you mind having another sister?"

Verna suddenly pounced out using both her hands and feet, her brother hurriedly hugged his sister. This was a Tier-7 Demon Saint after all! Verna struggled, "Brother, let go of me, I’ll fight her!"

Owen Bertram held his sister and coldly laughed, "Your Excellency, with your esteemed status as a Tire-7, don’t you think it’s beneath you to tease a little girl?"

"Hehehe!" Princess Amelia laughed, "I’m not teasing her; I’m going to defeat her and snatch away her brother! I don’t have a brother, and I want one too."

"Ah——" Verna went crazy, while Sun Daren just frowned, the intelligence level of the Demon Saint in front of him seemed to be different from that of an ordinary Demon!

Princess Amelia, ignoring Verna, casually strolled around Sun Daren with her hands behind her back, looking very relaxed, "Elder Brother, since you’ve been wandering around these mountains, are you trying to sneak up behind Customs City for a surprise attack?"

Instantly, Sun Daren became even more alert, but Princess Amelia seemed oblivious to the change in his demeanor and continued, "It’s actually quite simple. I know there’s an Earth Vein beneath this mountain. You just need to follow the Earth Vein and build an earth passage to quickly get through the Mountain Range and appear behind Customs City without anyone knowing."

"And I know the loophole in Customs City’s Demon Array too; as long as you are willing to be my brother and dump this chubby girl, I’ll tell you the loophole in the Demon Array. What do you say?"

Sun Daren could feel that his sister in his arms was about to explode, and without hesitation, he refused, "Absolutely not!"

Princess Amelia suddenly became extremely sad, "You just don’t believe me, feeling that because I’m part of the Demon Clan, I must be setting a trap to harm you, hmph."
