Beauty Portraits: I Build a Harem in Another World

Page 26

Besides, bringing those back to the capital would only cause more trouble, so after thinking about it, he gave up. "Oh right, I also need to go out and tell Situ Yang and the others that they are not allowed to reveal my strength when we get back!"

"Brother, are you trying to play dumb to fool others? Otherwise, why would you hide your true strength?"

"That's because Zhiwei and I are about to represent the military academy in the martial arts tournament. If everyone already knows my strength from the beginning, how boring would that be, right?" Faced with Princess Qin Ling's question, Qin Feng raised his eyebrows in a rather lewd manner. "I just love seeing others grit their teeth and want to defeat me, but they can't do anything about it!"

"Wow, there are so many fun things to do!! I can't wait, when we get back, I want to go to the Royal Military Academy too!"

"You're only sixteen, not even an adult yet. How could Father Emperor possibly let you leave the palace?" Qin Feng reached out and tapped Qin Ling on the head. "You'd better stay in the palace and wait to see the show!"

"Hey bro... hey, don't hit my head!"

Chapter 71: I'll listen to my husband in everything.

"Husband!" Seeing Qin Feng and his sister having fun, Kaori Yoda finally recovered from her sadness. She gently wiped away her tears and sat down beside Qin Feng. "Even so, I'm still worried that Mother will misunderstand you. She's getting old and often makes some inexplicable decisions, sometimes completely ignoring my advice. I'm worried she might continue to do something excessive..."

"Do you Inazuma have any ninjas with eleventh-level strength?"

"No... The strongest Jonin I've heard of so far is only at the tenth level, and no one has ever reached the eleventh level Saint level!"

"Then who can your old, blind mother send to kill me?"

"..."

When Qin Feng said this, his words carried an indescribable air of arrogance. However, this was not surprising, since he had enough capital to say such a thing. Not to mention that his own strength had reached the tenth level and he could use many bloodline inheritance spells from the Kelvin family, his maids, such as Qiu Xiang, were definitely not to be underestimated!

Because Qiu Xiang and the other maids originally all possessed ninth-tier strength, and now, after signing a contract with Qin Feng and obtaining the portrait of a beauty and the attribute boost from the goddess, their strength has been greatly enhanced...

In particular, everyone should remember that once Qin Feng signs a contract with these maids, their contract attributes will also be activated. These attributes not only affect Qin Feng, but also the maids themselves...

Take Qiu Xiang for example. She was originally at the ninth rank, and after obtaining the attribute bonus from her own TR beauty image, she not only gained an additional 50 attack power and defense power, but also a significant boost to health, and then there was a contract bonus... Attack power +10%, defense power +10%, damage increase +10%, damage reduction +10%, block +10%, block break +10%!!

The value of this item is self-evident! Mei, Lin Lin, are you sure you want to...?

Otherwise, where would Qin Feng get his confidence?

To put it bluntly, he could practically sweep through several small countries in the Eastern Continent with just a few hundred palace maids from his own Maple Forest Garden!

Therefore, upon hearing Qin Feng's words, not only did Kaori Yoda fall silent on the spot, but Qin Lan and Bai Zhiwei beside her also looked on in realization, and then they glared at Qin Feng with boundless fervor...

Qin Feng is only eighteen years old now, but he has already left all his peers far behind and has climbed to a level that countless people have to look up to. So if he is given a little more time, who on this continent can threaten him?

And once Qin Feng becomes the new master of the Great Qin, perhaps this empire will usher in another glorious era?

As for Kaori Yoda, although she didn't understand many things, it was because of Qin Feng's words that she suddenly understood the status of the Inazuma Empire in the hearts of the Qin people... You can be as arrogant as you want, but what can you do to me?

So at this moment, she was filled with mixed feelings, and felt that she had made a very wise and accurate decision. Otherwise, the Inazuma Empire might have really perished in the hands of her 'blind old' mother!

Fortunately, none of this has happened yet, and fortunately, she still has the chance to make up for it!

I just hope it's not too late!

She immediately and obediently took Qin Feng's hand, saying, "Husband, I will listen to you from now on. I will do whatever you say!"

"Mmm, good girl..."

"..."

Since the wedding procession was complete, Qin Feng and his group weren't in a hurry on their way back...

Moreover, Situ Yang and the other imperial guards have realized their mistakes. Now that they know that the Second Princess and the Fifth Princess have also come out with the Third Prince, and even General Bai's granddaughter Bai Zhiwei is in Qin Feng's carriage, they can't help but feel ashamed of their previous 'misunderstanding'!

When they learned that it was the second and fifth princesses' first time leaving the palace and that they were very curious about many things outside, Situ Yang and his group subconsciously slowed down. After all, on the royal post road, with such a clearly marked royal caravan, ordinary thieves really wouldn't dare to cause trouble!

However, the fact that the thieves dared not come did not mean that there would be no other unexpected events. Therefore, if it were before yesterday, Situ Yang and his group would never have dared to relax so much. They would have prioritized completing the mission and protecting the princess and princes back to the capital as soon as possible.

But now...

Who would have thought that His Highness the Third Prince actually possessed the strength of the tenth rank!

Most importantly, Situ Yang and the others never expected that the large group of palace maids that Qin Feng insisted on bringing were all highly skilled, and their strength was no weaker than their elite Imperial Guards, and even stronger... It was precisely because of their existence that after the conflict between the Imperial Guards and the Inazuma Legion last night, the ninjas were unable to harass the princes and princesses in the carriage.

To be honest, Situ Yang's ashen face was partly due to this cruel fact. The palace maids he thought were a burden were actually stronger than his subordinates in combat. In the end, he even had to rely on them to protect the prince and princess. Where did that leave him?

Therefore, when the group passed through Derun City today, when faced with the Fifth Princess Qin Ling's 'request' to go into the city for a stroll, Situ Yang only hesitated for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.

Of course, Qin Feng and his group would never reveal their true identities directly, because if they knew that His Highness the Prince and several princesses had arrived in Derun City, the place would go crazy, and it might even cause great chaos.

So soon, Qin Feng led Qin Lan and Bai Zhiwei to the post station to change their clothes. They dressed in ordinary people's clothes and deliberately disguised themselves before swaggering into the city to stroll around.

Moreover, to avoid drawing attention, Qin Feng and her group didn't bring many attendants this time. Their only close companions were a few palace maids, including Qiu Xiang and Xia Ming. In addition, Situ Yang brought five or six imperial guards, who were also disguised as ordinary people and followed at a distance...

Nevertheless, this group was still quite conspicuous. After all, Qin Feng, Bai Zhiwei, and the princesses were all incredibly beautiful, and even their disguises couldn't hide it. So, they attracted countless glances along the way. In addition, Qiu Xiang and Xia Ming were now stunningly beautiful and had incredible figures, so almost every man they encountered on the road couldn't take his eyes off them!

Fortunately, neither the second princess Qin Lan nor the fifth princess Qin Ling cared about this at the moment. After all, the world outside the palace was incredibly novel to them, so they were just busy looking around...

Speaking of Derun City, it's a completely different city from the capital. Although it's far less prosperous and vast than the capital, it has its own unique charm and customs. Especially since everyone is traveling incognito, without imperial guards clearing the way or officials making arrangements beforehand, they are experiencing the authentic folk culture firsthand. The diverse street food and the messy stalls everywhere are so appealing that the two princesses are almost reluctant to leave!

Qin Feng, on the other hand, remained quite calm throughout the journey. Although his body had never left the palace, he was, after all, a transmigrator from the modern world of Earth, and had seen countless things. Therefore, in his view, Derun City was just a relatively well-preserved ancient city with a relatively cheap entrance fee...

After wandering around for a while, Qin Feng was about to leave when he suddenly saw a place that also piqued his interest.

Thor's Colosseum!

The names like Thor are just gimmicks, deliberately exaggerated names. As for the Colosseum... that's even more of a cover-up, a name chosen to obtain official approval!

Because in this arena, the main characters are never the monsters, but the humans.

Simply put, the Colosseum is similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum on Earth; it was a place to watch people fight and compete, so the scenes that took place there were often very bloody and cruel.

But you know what, some people are just naturally drawn to these kinds of things. Where there's demand, there's a market. Especially after the betting culture became popular, many people hoping to get rich overnight became completely obsessed with this kind of game!

Qin Feng certainly didn't want to get rich overnight. He was already a pampered prince, and more likely the future emperor. How could he be short of money?

So he was just curious...

Chapter 72: Where there is cannibalism, there is no humanity.

Unfortunately, Qin Feng lived on a relatively modern Earth before he transmigrated...

In the face of modern civilization, such bloody and cruel large-scale fighting arenas have completely disappeared from the public eye. Although the fighting between people continues, whether it is boxing, Sanda, judo, or even no-holds-barred fighting, all the competitions have been seriously distorted. Not only are there various rules restricting the competition, but there are also so-called referees who can stop the competition at any time!

So unless it's some underground black market, you won't see those brutal, hand-to-hand combat scenes anymore...

So most people can only see such scenes in some movies and TV shows, but everyone knows that they are fake and just created with special effects!

However, after inheriting the bloodline of the Kelvin family, Qin Feng would follow his great-grandfather Cowen's memories and recall past events during each meditation. He also learned that Darwin had spent a period of time in his youth training in the arena under an assumed name. Although he was in the arena on the Western Continent, the arena and the beast fighting arena are essentially the same. Therefore, Qin Feng was very curious about what the competitions in the beast fighting arena in Derun City were like.

So Qin Feng decided to take his men in to take a look. After all, it was just a match and wouldn't take up much time.

However, just as he was leading several girls toward the arena gates, a girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old was suddenly thrown out from inside...

To be precise, she was kicked out!

The girl lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. She looked like she was in great pain and couldn't even cry!

……

Yu Wanlin (SR): A girl burdened with a curse, destined not to live past eighteen.

Attributes: Attack +10000, Defense +10000, Health +100000, Mana +10000.

Contract Bonus (Uncontracted): Attack +3%, Defense +3%, Health +3%. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)

……

Is he cursed and destined not to live past eighteen?

Qin Feng frowned slightly, then walked over without any disgust at the dirty girl's tattered clothes. He gently reached out and helped her up, then squatted down to wipe her face. "What happened? Why are you, a little girl, running around in a place like this?"

"My...my mom...Mom...is inside!"

"..."

The girl's name was Yu Wanlin. She was actually seventeen years old, but because of the curse and illness, coupled with long-term malnutrition, she looked no different from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Then, through her words, Qin Feng and the others quickly learned the whole story.

Yu Wanlin originally had a happy family. Her parents were both mercenaries. Although their conditions were not great, they were not bad either. However, two years ago, Yu Wanlin's father died in an accident during a mission, leaving her and her mother to depend on each other for survival.

Because she has to take care of her daughter, Yu Wanlin's mother, Hu Xiafei, can no longer take on jobs that require long hours. She doesn't even dare to leave Derun City, because if she is too far from home, what will her daughter do alone?

But the most crucial point is that many people, seeing that she always has a half-grown daughter with her, simply don't dare to entrust her with any tasks!

In this situation, life was really difficult for the mother and daughter. Fortunately, their neighbors often helped them out, otherwise they would have had an even harder time. But this barely manageable life came to an abrupt end after Yu Wanlin fell ill. The huge medical expenses completely crushed the mother and daughter.

Left with no other choice, Hu Xiafei signed a contract with the Thunder God Arena because she needed to participate in this incredibly brutal competition to earn enough money to treat her daughter's illness...

So Yu Wanlin felt incredibly sorry to see her mother come home every day covered in bruises, and sometimes even in the middle of the night when she was in so much pain that she couldn't lie down. But for her daughter's sake, she gritted her teeth and endured it until this morning when Yu Wanlin got up and found that there was blood all under her mother's pillow!

But she knew that her mother had two tough matches to fight today, so she hurriedly ran out of the house, hoping to get into the arena and stop her mother...

Because the little girl was genuinely worried that if something happened to her mother, who else in the world could she rely on?

Because she didn't have money to buy a ticket, the colosseum security guards refused her entry request, even though she said she was Hu Xiafei's daughter. Later, they even kicked her out because they thought she was being a nuisance!

It has to be said that human nature... can sometimes be this despicable!

But then again, it's really difficult to talk about humanity with people who work in places like the Colosseum where people fight each other!

So Qin Feng thought for a moment, then reached out and pulled Yu Wanlin up, bought her a ticket and took her in. This time, the security guards behaved themselves and didn't stop her.

Later, when Qin Feng and his companions arrived at the VIP room under the guidance of the waiters, they discovered that the match had already started quite some time ago. Then, following Yu Wanlin's pointing finger, Qin Feng quickly saw her mother, Hu Xiafei, who was wearing a half-body metal armor and fighting against a burly, muscular man.

Although Hu Xiafei was very agile and seemed to have a lot of fighting power, even dominating the field at one point and making her opponent almost unable to fight back, Qin Feng could tell at a glance that her injuries were quite serious, and her opponent, the muscular man, was not as weak as he looked. On the contrary, he seemed to be deliberately toying with her...

Because when faced with Hu Xiafei's attacks, that guy always had a nonchalant expression, and several times after grabbing her, he could have ended the fight, but he deliberately let her win!

Presumably because Qin Feng and the others had bought 'VIP tickets,' a rather lewd old man soon knocked on the door and came in to ask if he wanted to place a bet. While introducing the game, he also casually revealed a 'message' to him: "Female warrior Hu Xiafei is bound to lose this match, so betting on her opponent to win is a sure thing!"

"Really?" Qin Feng didn't even hesitate and immediately pulled out a bag of gold coins. "Then I'll bet on Hu Xiafei to win!"

"Uh……"

It's important to understand that the difference in reward between winning and losing a match in a place like the Colosseum is enormous, sometimes by tens of times...

Therefore, if Hu Xiafei, who joined as a free agent, wants to earn more money, she must do her best to win every game!

However, this is almost impossible, because the arena is never a fair and just place. You never know who your next opponent will be, and you can't always be stronger than your opponent. Besides, after such a long match, her injuries have accumulated to the point that she can hardly control them. If she hadn't taken the pain-relieving injection before the match, she probably would have collapsed on her own before her opponent even had to lift a finger!

So at this point, Hu Xiafei was already at her limit and was also a little anxious, because the effect of the acupuncture was not long. If she could not defeat her opponent within this time, then her fate would be... very, very tragic!

Unfortunately, her opponent understood this perfectly. From the beginning, he was determined to wear her down. Even though he could have defeated her directly several times, he deliberately delayed and didn't make a move. His goal was to torture her properly after the effects of her injection wore off. I imagine that stripping her completely naked in front of everyone would be something many people would enjoy.

Perhaps we could even add some more eye-catching live performances...

For example, raping someone on the spot?

Without a doubt, in this kind of situation, this kind of scene is exactly what everyone wants to see...

You see, for people who dance on the edge of life and death every day, fine wine and alcohol are the only things in their lives, so they don't care about many worldly rules. All they want to do is vent!

Let it all out!!

Chapter 73: Stepping in to Save the Little Girl's Mother

Unfortunately, because of Qin Feng's appearance today, he is destined to be disappointed!

So right after that lewd old man took the money and left, Qin Feng immediately pointed his finger at Hu Xiafei in the audience... Curse Technique* Bloodlust!

As a necromancer whose strength has exceeded the tenth rank, Qin Feng can now easily release and use most necromancer skills. Moreover, as he comprehends the inherited techniques of his great-grandfather Cowen during meditation, and as his understanding of necromancy deepens, he can now do many things with ease, such as easily and undetectably penetrating the protective barrier set up by the arena mages to cast spells...

Of course, this is also because he is currently in the VIP section, which is very close to the center of the arena. Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of the VIP section, the mages of the arena take extra care of this area. Therefore, the various protective fluctuations mixed here also gave Qin Feng an opportunity!

Although Bloodlust is not a high-level spell, the effect of it being released by Qin Feng is naturally very different. Hu Xiafei's body was immediately enveloped by a red light, and then she seemed to have become a completely different person!

Curse*Bloodlust: Temporarily increases the target's attack power by 500% and movement speed and attack speed by 200%. At the same time, 100% of the damage dealt will be used to heal the target's own injuries. This effect lasts for three minutes. After the effect ends, the target will be severely weakened and will remain in a state for a whole day.

Okay, actually, Bloodlust isn't that amazing...

Because this is a very low-level spell, any necromancer with a strength exceeding the sixth rank can use it.

However, there's a common-sense point that needs to be clarified: the power of most magic or spells in this world is directly proportional to the caster's mana, because the casting of all magic consumes mana in percentage terms!

Therefore, the same spell will be stronger when cast by a mage with higher mana points than when cast by a mage with lower mana points!

This is also the fundamental reason why even the lowest-level fireball spell of high-level mages possesses earth-shattering power, because this fireball spell consumes more mana...

However, since necromancers focus more on cultivating their spiritual power rather than on improving their intelligence to increase their mana like mages, the power of necromancer magic has always been criticized, and consequently, their Bloodlust spell has never been very well-known.

But Qin Feng is different. His attribute values ​​increase continuously as the portraits of beauties are stacked, and each portrait of a beauty will increase his mana by a huge amount...

It's like Qiu Xiang and the others can easily cast a spell that adds 50 mana to Qin Feng's power. The result is that almost all spells in his hands can be pushed to their maximum power!
