The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 864 - 481: Will to Fight (Part 3)
Since he was already visiting on the day of the murder, Yan Xiaobao was summoned to the palace. However, since he had been brought home by the Princess’s carriage, they quickly ruled him out. So many people saw this, it was indisputable.
Now that the Third Prince was gone, the power struggle suddenly shifted. The First and Second Princes were suddenly invigorated, making every effort to control the Third Prince’s allies. However, a new variable emerged.
The Princess had officially declared that she would become the Queen, claiming that a woman can do a man’s job and she was more suitable for the role than her brothers.
Her unexpected actions caused all the female saints of high status and the Emperor to support their goddess. The Princess did her utmost to utilize Yan Xiaobao’s support to gain the throne. She knew that Yan Xiaobao had told her he would support her, which gave her a chance to beat her brothers. She greatly leveraged her fame to her advantage. Experts were drawn to join her not only for change but also many joined due to Yan Xiaobao’s influence.
This sudden change in the power struggle for the throne also caused internal family conflicts. Many influential families were unable to decide whom to support, and even supporters of the Second and First Princes began to turn to the Princess.
Although many were afraid of assassination, Yan Xiaobao and his mansion were filled with happiness. Wang Julong’s usually cold demeanor disappeared, and she gently took care of Qiao and Lao, constantly smiling.
When the children were at school, Wang Julong would follow Yan Xiaobao, often holding his hand or simply staying by his side.
"I’ve been thinking," Wang Julong suddenly asked, as she sat next to Yan Xiaobao, observing what he was doing.
The two of them were outside the garden, with furs, leather, claws, gemstones, magic cores, metal ores, and other treasures spread out on the ground before them. Next to all these items was a small portable stove that Yan Xiaobao had found in the Cosmic Box.
"Why have you suddenly become so focused on crafting again? I mean, the last time I saw you this focused was with my Holy Dungeon. You haven’t concentrated on it since returning from the Siban Empire." Wang Julong asked as Yan Xiaobao looked up at the metal ore he was examining. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I didn’t have time during the war, and while the Third Prince was alive, I wasn’t focused on such things either. But now, there’s nothing pressing for me. I can concentrate on becoming one with the Metal Element deep inside me. This will enhance my ability to craft, especially because inscriptions are an area of great interest to me," Yan Xiaobao said with a smile. Deep within the Cosmic Box, Yan Xiaobao had discovered several books about various inscription runes and their uses. He couldn’t wait to fully understand them and learn how to use them. With them, he would be able to improve not only his items and weapons but also those of his friends.
"Well, in that case, I’ll let you focus. I still haven’t fully mastered the formations you gave me." She smiled as a large red staff suddenly appeared. Leaving the grove where Yan Xiaobao was, she sought an open area suitable for her Wu Wei art. The trees and stones here had already been smashed, with nothing left to be destroyed by the terrifying strikes of the formations.
