Chapter 9

William Rong, a sick child, was greatly favored by his father, the king. Any powerful man or woman had to be familiar with him. The Qin family was one of the four most powerful families in the kingdom, but they wouldn't dare offend the king to this extent. An elder spoke out, "Very well, we will come back once Prince William recovers." The Qin family walked away in embarrassment, but a burning rage stirred in their hearts. Soon a message spread through the streets and alleys of the capital of the Kingdom. The news said that Julia had won the competition for William's hand in marriage, but he immediately fell ill and almost died. "I heard that Julia Chu killed his former fiancé in the dungeons of William's mansion." "She almost killed William herself, she must be cursed!" "It's obvious that she is the one orchestrating all this. Honestly, it doesn't take half a brain to figure it out." The news spread quickly across the kingdom, until the Red Emperor had finally heard it. "Julia Chu nearly killed my son? I want her locked up in the dungeons right now!" "Your Majesty, please calm down. Julia is still Prince William's fiancée, it would be for the best if we heard the truth directly from him. For now, we must focus on his recovery," said the wise old servant beside him. He has been a servant and adviser to the Red Emperor for many years, he knew the exact words he needed to say. "Yes, I know that already! I already sent all the pharmacists and the doctors to his mansion. But if I find out that she had something to do with his death, I will kill her myself. Now, get out, I need time alone to think." "Yes, your Majesty." At this time, the three princes were outside the Imperial Study Room. They were waiting to see their father, but they only heard his words from outside the room. The old servant came out and he saw the three princes waiting outside. He said with a gloomy tone, "Ah, sweet princes, please go back for now. Your father is in a bad mood today and he won't be seeing anyone." The princes left with gloomy faces. The third prince suddenly spoke out said, "Brother William is loved by our father as always. If only people knew that he wasn't his real son." One of the princes gently replied, "Brother, don't talk nonsense! You know father took pity on his brother and his son. William is very ill, it's only natural to be concerned." The third prince didn't believe in his brother. His father loved a nephew more than his own sons, surely his brothers would understand. Julia used the Condensed Body Realm to speed herself up, she was as light as a swallow. No one noticed her footsteps and a spiteful voice could be heard from the inside. "Haven't you heard, dear sister? Your daughter went to participate in Prince William's marriage competition, honestly, what an idiot! William may be a sickly child, but he is still a handsome man and he is still part of the royal family, it would be a shame if someone were to kill her on the street out of jealousy." "Julia..." a weak and anxious voice came from inside. Julia heard her mother cry out for her, with a loud bang the door was kicked open. "Who are you?" The two women inside saw the girl in a beautiful and delicate dress in front of them and they were completely stunned. When she appeared, a ray of light flashed in the eyes of the sick woman. She immediately recognized her daughter, even if she had become so beautiful she would always recognize her. "Aunt Sam, I'm haven't been killed yet, are you disappointed? If my mother feels any worse because of you, I will kick you out of the room myself!" Her mother was already ill, but her sister whispered such horrible words into her ear, what was her intention? Julia changed into her normal clothes. Sam Chu was shocked when she saw her niece in her regular clothes. "Julia! How did you become so beautiful?" "It's because of her clothes, mother. These are the finest materials in the entire kingdom. If I could wear these I would definitely be more beautiful than this thing." Bea Chu looked at her sister's clothes greedily. "You two are so noisy, get out of here!" Julia said coldly. The two of them felt threatened when they saw the anger in her eyes. They immediately rushed out, Julia was able to kick one of them into the small pond. Spectacularly, she held onto her mother and they both fell into the pond The head of the Chu family had seven children in total, her mother was the fifth child. The status and ability of the fourth child was the worst among the seven siblings. His wife and daughter knew that they couldn't touch anyone and they repeatedly took their frustrations out on Julia and her mother. "It smells! How dare she treat us like this!" "Hurry up and change your clothes!" Her gentle eyes fell on her daughter's body, and she said, "Oh, my, you can practice again. You are on the Second Level in the Condensed Body Realm. I think I can die peacefully now." Julia remembered that her mother was the third strongest within the Chu family. Even if she was seriously ill, she could still feel the spiritual changes around her. She naturally noticed the changes her daughter went through. Julia saw her mother drifting away, truly intent on dying peacefully. She rushed over and said, "Mother, you'll be fine. I have some medicine for you, I promise you'll be alright." "I heard you participated in the Prince William's competition. The Nine-Lives Resurrection Pill is useless on me, trust me, I know. Just keep it for yourself for when you are in danger." She sighed weakly. "Mother, this is not the Nine-Lives Resurrection Pill, this is the Nine-Lives Moon Pill. Prince William said it would work. If it doesn't then I will find another way. Mother, please, you can't leave me yet," Julia insisted. The words of her daughter made Elena Chu want to live again. She felt that it was strange, she thought she had already accepted death. She hasn't seen her daughter in a wedding dress, and she hasn't even seen the full potential of her spirit cultivation. Elena felt determined to see what becomes of her daughter from now on.
