A white-haired old man grabbed Bai Sheng's hand and asked.

Bai Sheng smiled faintly.

"You must have mistaken me for someone else. I merely heard that your planet is currently in peak tourist season, so I came here to sightsee."

The old man was none other than Miles, who had previously been responsible for Bai Sheng's medical care.

"Are you truly not Your Highness?"

Miles asked again, the graying beard on his chin trembling.

"Sorry, I'm really not."

Bai Sheng shook off his hand. Although he still thought highly of the man, it was best to avoid unnecessary trouble right now. He might as well deny it outright.

Yet Miles laughed heartily and pulled Bai Sheng into a secluded alley.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you have experienced over the years, but seeing that you are safe brings this old servant joy from the bottom of his heart."

"I already told you, I'm not—"

"Your Highness, a person's pulse cannot lie. This old servant took your pulse for ten years. Your pulse is not something an ordinary person could imitate. The moment I held your wrist, I knew that you were His Highness Bai Sheng."

Damn! He'd forgotten about that!

Bai Sheng slapped his forehead. How had he forgotten that there was someone like this in the palace? Damn, what a miscalculation!

"So what now? I'm back. Are you planning to tell that dog emperor?"

Bai Sheng simply gave up pretending. Miles was one of the few people on this planet Bai Sheng had a favorable impression of, and he did not want to kill him.

"Hehe, traveler from afar, those words should not be spoken. Though you come from another planet, you should still show some respect to our planet's highest ruler. Don't you agree, my traveler friend?"

Miles smiled. He patted Bai Sheng on the shoulder and said, "All right, friend from afar, I should return to work now. I hope you enjoy your time in Kasantiya."

With that, Miles walked away alone with a smile. Even his formerly hunched back seemed to have straightened somewhat.

What a joke. His Highness had wandered outside for so many years. He had thought His Highness must have suffered terribly, but judging from the pulse he had just felt, His Highness's condition had improved greatly.

After trembling in fear and killing bugs for more than ten years, he had finally gained his freedom. A few carefree years meant nothing to an Eternal, and Miles had no desire to ruin His Highness's good mood.

He himself had been hired from the Xianzhou to Kasantiya, so he did not feel much attachment to this place. Besides, he had ended up serving a master who did not even treat his own son like a person. Miles could only say, sorry about that!

Watching the little old man leave, Bai Sheng gave a bitter smile. Honestly, he had thought the old man would go back and report him.

Looks like there was no need to worry. When the time came, he would just find a way to take the old man with him!

Looking at the largest and most luxurious palace in the entire country, Bai Sheng wondered what kind of fun it would be to blow the place up... Oh! That would be so [The Abundance].

But now was not the time. Bai Sheng had returned this time to uproot the entire aristocracy!

This old system where people devoured people should have been eliminated long ago!

As he looked at the palace, Bai Sheng recalled a Little Fox Person he had saved years ago. Because the two human traffickers had nobles backing them, they received no punishment at all.

At the thought of it, Bai Sheng's fists clenched again.

"Calm down, kid. Find somewhere to stay and wait for the signal that cat mentioned."

Pandora's voice sounded out. Within Path Space, Pandora could also communicate with Bai Sheng.

Acheron's script had said that after Bai Sheng returned, he only needed to quietly wait for the signal from the palace. There was no need to make such a big fuss.

"All right, looks like that's all I can do for now."

"Or... when the time comes, should I just offer Kasantiya to the Luofu as a token of allegiance...?"

Bai Sheng thought to himself...

(Scene Break: Miss Title~

Miss Title: Speak properly. Don't be disgusting!

Scene Break: I want sixty-eight so Author Bro can see a doctor~

Miss Title: Hehe, so the illness Author-kun has is called the Premium Monthly Pass, huh? You're asking for a beating!

Scene Break: Oww! Miss Title! Sis! Oww! I was wrong! Ah!

Author-kun: That's what you get for talking nonsense. I'm not sick.

Miss Title: So, did Author-kun top up his Premium Monthly Pass recently?~

Author-kun: Hilarious! How could I not buy it? I got both the regular and premium monthly passes at once!

Miss Title: Ara ara, so the ninety-eight missing from last month's account was used by dear Author-kun to top up his monthly pass~

Author-kun: No, you tricked me into saying it... Ah! I was wrong! Ah!)

Meanwhile, within the Prince's chambers in the palace, a man swept all the documents off the table with one slap and roared at the woman before him.

"This is what you meant by helping me obtain imperial power? Where is my power? That old emperor is sending me to the frontier now! Even those old geezers are siding with him! Isn't it obvious enough? He wants to strip the vassals of their power!"

Unhurriedly, the woman picked up the scattered documents around her. Looking at the man before her, she merely said calmly, "Don't panic. Since we have already reached an agreement, we will naturally help you become the emperor of Kasantiya. It's just that..."

The woman paused, but it was the man who grew anxious. He hurried over, his rough hands gripping her slender, frail shoulders as he said with bloodshot eyes:

"Only what? Say it!"

Splat!

In an instant, blood sprayed everywhere, scorching hot droplets splattering across the woman's face. Her seemingly delicate hand had effortlessly pierced the man's chest, and clenched in her grasp was his heart, gradually ceasing to beat.

The man stared in disbelief at the woman still smiling before him, then collapsed with the last trace of venomous resentment in his eyes.

The woman looked at the heart in front of her, her expression excited and her cheeks flushed as she panted eagerly.

"Only that you need to throw yourself into Lord Nanook's embrace!"

Then, cradling the man's blood-drained, pallid head, she said with a smile, "Don't worry, my dear Prince. I will place you upon a throne pieced together from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood of the Kasantiya people. By then, no one will oppose you becoming the king of this dead planet anymore~ Hehehehe... Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

The woman laughed maniacally, paying no heed to the blood that had already spread across the ground.

Gradually, the blood began to gather toward the woman, slowly wrapping around her. Before long, even the man's corpse on the ground vanished, replaced by an identical man standing at her side.

The man merely muttered toward the door, "It's time to wrap up this civilization's self-destruction game. Watching them perish bit by bit... it's simply wonderful! Truly worthy of my aesthetics of destruction! Where should I go next? How about... the Xianzhou, to see how Jianmu is doing? Hehehe~ Good idea! Jianmu it is next time! Hahahahaha!"
