The next day, Jin Rou and the princess immediately arrived at the Immortal Pond. This princess knew that exact way and location of the pond so there was no need to ask others abouts it. Now, they were a kilometer away from it and all they could was a dense forest that gave of a death aura.
Jin Rou creased his brows when he felt this. The death aura was so thick that it was filled with hatred and whatnot. He also took past several pasts of this place and saw many people dying even here before the pond. So naturally, this place reeked of stinging blood.
After a few steps, the princess looked at Jin Rou and said, "Look, Mr. Jin. I can't guarantee you anything. Even with my status, I don't know if they will let us enter. After all, my family has prohibited everyone, including us, from entering it."
"Just say that you have something to take care of there. Or think of a believable reason. Everything is up to you." Jin Rou didn't back down. If worse came to worst, he could just kill everyone who block his path.
The princess knew that she couldn't reason her way out. Thus she pursed her lips and gritted her teeth. In any way, at least she tried even if they weren't approved to enter.
Afterwards, she gathered her last strength of confidence, unveil her fake appearance and shower her true self. She has an ashen long hair that could compete with the rainbow, and a beauty that could destroy kingdoms and empires in the entire universe with a single smile. Calling her the most beautiful of this world could already be given if people knew her true appearance.
Then, she walked off forward to the large gates of Immortal Pond. She was walking with confidence and pride as she had her chin up. The imperial aura was excluding that even Jin Rou was slightly affected. The posture, the moves, the beauty, it all acted in accordance of how a princess should be.
The guards were alarmed when they saw two people walking towards them and raised their weapons. However, after a clear sight of who was the person, they immediately retrieved their weapons and went into a salute, "We greet Her Highness Shale!"
"Open the gate for me." Shale's cold countenance could be said the real personality of her when she was shown as a princess. When she was, she was clearly acting like one.
"This..." The captain of the guards felt it was awkward. Eventually, he shook his head and said, "Princess, you also know that we can't do it. Your Father Emperor has clearly told us not to let anyone enter even his sons and precious daughter."
Shale was the only princess of the imperial family, thus the precious daughter was clearly pertaining to her.
"While it is true that you have received such orders, you still let my third brother enter the pond to train. But you can't do the same for me?" Shale chuckled, "I wonder what will happen if this news come around to my father. What would happen to the high and powerful captain of the guards here and his subordinates?"
Hearing this, the captain stiffened and was utterly speechless. He didn't know how did the princess knew such a grave thing! It was true that the third prince had actually came and bribed them with abundant money and treasures in order for them to let him enter. However, both parties agreed of its confidentiality. That's why, he didn't know how could someone knew this! After all, the captain knew that the third prince couldn't do such a thing because he would be implicated as well.
Seeing the reaction of the captain, the princess knew it was the truth. Good, then jt was now there time to push further, "Captain Wang, you can be rest assured that if you let me and my friend here enter the Immortal Pond, I will guarantee that your secret will be buried alive and no other man to tell the tale. I am a princess of the highest status, so you can count on my words."
The captain thought deep and hard. He was just a mere captain, so he couldn't push his luck around the princess unless he seek for death. He felt like he was stuck in between two hard rocks. His indecisiveness was kicking once again.
"Captain Wang, my time is precious. So you better hurry and decide well." Shale was getting impatient. To think that this guy wss still hesitating despite her words of assurance. Wasn't it an insult to her status? Nevertheless, she didn't mention it.
After so much time of deciding, the captain sighed and gritted his teeth. Might as well take the safest route, "Her Highness, I can grant you entry. But I only can give you a max of 1 hour. Even your brother has to follow this. Or else, I can't let you enter even it cause my life."
It was his biggest concession, so the princess smiled and said, "Of course. I agree with that. 1 hour is fair enough for me to shut my mouth."
Then, the captain nodded and commanded his subordinates to open the gates. Due to its complexity, the opening of the gates consumed 20 minutes even after 5 persons helping out.
"Her Highness Shale, 1 hour it is. Please come back in 1 hour or we will search for you." The captain said seriously.
"No problem." Shale smiled and entered the gate. Jin Rou followed suit.
And inside, what met their eyes were large and ancestral trees everywhere. It was like a forest of giants because of everything's massive size.
"You only have 1 hour. So please do your thing immediately. That's the best I can do for you." Shale sighed in relief. It was good that her gamble was on mark. After all, what she said was just a hearsay and she had no proof it. But at the same time, she was worried if 1 hour would be enough to finish Jin Rou's business.
Anyway, she already had done her part. What comes next would be up to Jin Rou.
