It seems like acquiring Gold Silk Wood is quite difficult, but extracting some essence might still be possible.

"Are you planning to go after the Gold Silk Wood? I advise you to forget it. Many people have schemed for it, but in the end, they all became fertilizer for it!"

As Ye Luo was pondering how to steal the essence, the Third Princess suddenly spoke from behind him.

Only then did Ye Luo remember that the Third Princess hadn’t left yet.

"I’m not interested in the Gold Silk Wood; I’m interested in you!" Ye Luo turned around and said with a smile.

As for the Third Princess, Ye Luo wasn’t too concerned. Even if she tattled, he wasn’t afraid. Besides, her strength was quite negligible; Ye Luo could control her with just one finger.

"If you keep looking at me like that, be careful, or I’ll gouge your eyes out!" The Third Princess instantly widened her eyes and shouted.

Ye Luo burst out laughing, "You really like my eyes that much? If giving them to you would make you fall in love with me, then I’d gladly hand them over!"

With that, Ye Luo moved closer.

But to his surprise, the Third Princess swiftly jabbed her finger towards his eye.

Holy crap! Ye Luo was shocked. This girl is really violent!

However, there was no way her strength could harm Ye Luo. Her choice to stay by his side was like a lamb staying with a hungry wolf.

Ye Luo extended his hand and easily grabbed her arm.

It must be said, her skin was incredibly fair and tender. In this environment, even for a cultivator, having such skin was quite rare.

Or perhaps, this is what being a heavenly favored one means. Even the dancers had to rely heavily on makeup to cover up the damage this environment caused to their skin. It was almost unavoidable.

But Ye Luo couldn’t understand why the Third Princess wasn’t affected by the environment.

Moreover, Ye Luo noticed she didn’t use much mana to resist the harsh environment, as if she was accustomed to it.

Of course, that made sense. She was considered native here, born in this place, with a high level of resistance to the environment.

Just like the ancient indigenous people, even without any cultivation, they could survive in such conditions.

"Let me go!" The Third Princess immediately shouted.

"Why should I let you go? There’s no one else here, and it’s so boring. Why don’t we do something interesting?" Ye Luo grinned mischievously.

This frightened the Third Princess. She was feisty but not foolish. She stayed because she found Ye Luo more reliable than others.

Firstly, because Ye Luo’s displayed realm was lower than hers; secondly, because she left with him, creating a psychological dependency.

But now, it seemed entirely different!

Ye Luo was hiding his strength, and hiding it well. She couldn’t resist even with one hand! At this moment, she realized her predicament.

"Can you let me go first? We can talk things over slowly!" Immediately, her tone softened.

Ye Luo wouldn’t let her go so easily. This Third Princess indeed had a bit of a princess syndrome. If she strutted around behind him and pointed fingers, Ye Luo wouldn’t get anything done.

So this time, he planned to teach her a lesson, making her less arrogant. If worse came to worse, he’d just kick her out; he wasn’t about to feel soft-hearted at this moment.

"Why let go? Isn’t it better to do something meaningful?" With those words, Ye Luo pulled her into his arms.

Immediately, a refreshing scent wafted, and her body was warm and smooth like jade. Such an exquisite woman was quite rare in the South Territory, almost comparable to Zi Wei.

What was more important was that she and Zi Wei were entirely different styles. Zi Wei was gentle as water, inherently kind, but only soft with Ye Luo.

But this Third Princess was a little pepper, full of youthful energy, giving him a unique feeling.

"No, I beg you, please don’t touch me!" Clearly, she was scared, looking at Ye Luo with teary eyes.

Seeing her like this, Ye Luo was relieved. If she kept being stubborn, not knowing her limits, even if he flirted with her, he wouldn’t do anything else.

After all, with his current cultivation, he couldn’t act recklessly! Some actions, if not in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, would cause immense trouble when advancing realms, even risking demise.

However, Ye Luo surely wouldn’t stop now; he needed to genuinely instill fear!

Thus, he tightened his grip, feeling her chest deform under pressure.

"You! Get off me!" She was furious but held back, only glaring angrily at Ye Luo.

"Don’t worry, that feeling is quite enjoyable; I guarantee you’ll feel like you’re in heaven!" Ye Luo said, his hands moving continuously over her body.

Immediately, her body started trembling slightly.

"You! I beg you, please, no!"

While pleading, she began crying.

After all, she was a princess, and despite the Holy City’s special circumstances, she was accustomed to noble treatment after birth. Not to say anyone dared treat her like this; even defying her would lead to severe punishment, which fueled her haughty temper.

"If you don’t want this, then what will you offer to exchange for yourself?" Ye Luo shamelessly said.

The Third Princess paused, understanding Ye Luo’s meaning, but it gave her hope. Since Ye Luo said this, it meant he hadn’t lost his mind, and negotiation was possible!

"How about I trade cultivation resources? You know, I’m a princess; I have lots of cultivation resources!" She suddenly proposed.

Cultivation resources? Ye Luo chuckled, shaking his head. He wasn’t interested in their cultivation resources; those were worse than the most ordinary resources in the Sixth Region. Here, because of the location’s uniqueness, even ordinary resources were treated as treasures.

"That won’t do. No matter how precious cultivation resources are, they can’t compare to a beautiful princess like you. Unless you show some sincerity, we’ll be Dao Companions tonight!" Ye Luo shook his head with a laugh.
