Miss, You've Been Poisoned

"This..." Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Rong and Chen Xin exchanged glances.

Is this... appropriate?

"Uncle Gu, Uncle Jian, there is no other choice. You have both seen the content just revealed on the Sky Screen. Bibi Dong actually carries the inheritance of the Rakshasa God—a god's inheritance! It is unimaginable just how strong she is now. We are already under immense pressure facing Martial Soul Hall; we truly cannot afford to provoke any other powerful enemies." Ning Fengzhi spoke to the two, his tone filled with helplessness and powerlessness.

Hearing this, both men nodded.

Chen Xin spoke up: "Understood, then we shall do as you say. But how are we to secretly hand that mother and son over to Xue Hen? And what if Xue Hen later proclaims to the world that it was we who betrayed them? What then?"

"We simply won't hand them over directly into his hands. If he doesn't know it was us who betrayed—that it was we who handed over Ning Pianpian and her son—how could he proclaim it?" Ning Fengzhi said.

"Fengzhi, since you intend to hand over that mother and son, wouldn't it be better to hand them directly to Xue Hen, letting him know our intentions and showing that we wish to turn hostility into friendship?" Gu Rong asked Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "No, Uncle Gu, you don't understand. Judging from the Sky Screen, that Xue Hen is quite arrogant. If we were to hand Ning Pianpian and her son directly to him, it would surely invite his disdain. Furthermore, his grievance with us is primarily over Ning Pianpian; once she and her son fall into his hands, the conflict between him and us will naturally cease. Of course, I have not forgotten the debt of him injuring Uncle Gu, but..."

"I know this. The situation is stronger than the person; who told us the three of us couldn't beat him," Gu Rong said understandingly.

"Then let us first determine Xue Hen's location, and then drop Ning Pianpian and her son in his vicinity, letting him 'discover' them himself," Chen Xin suggested.

"Yes, that is exactly what we will do," Ning Fengzhi nodded.

"Fengzhi, do you know where that brat Xue Hen is now?" Gu Rong asked Ning Fengzhi.

"I can make a rough guess."

Ning Fengzhi turned his head to look in the direction of Heaven Dou City and said softly: "Xue Hen's biological mother was Kundera's first wife. Because of Ning Pianpian... she was stripped of her status as Queen by Kundera and imprisoned in the Cold Palace, where she died in sorrow, not even receiving a posthumous title. As a son, besides seeking revenge, Xue Hen would likely want to clear his mother's name. Therefore, he may go to Heaven Dou City to try and reclaim his mother's royal honor from Emperor Xue Ye."

"Moreover, Heaven Dou City is the closest city to the Seven Treasure Mountain Range. Since Xue Hen came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the probability of him going there after leaving is the highest."

"Then we shall send people to Heaven Dou City now to see if he is truly there, and if so, his exact location," Chen Xin said.

"Mm." Ning Fengzhi nodded.

Inside Heaven Dou City.

Half a day had passed, and the people here were still discussing the content on the Sky Screen.

Xue Hen walked down the street, feeling the reality rate of his two roles—'Super Douluo-Xue Hen' and 'Descendant of the Sun God-Yuan Qi'—continuously rising, and his mood was wonderful.

Then, much like the plot of many novels, his wonderful mood was quickly ruined.

"Beat him! Beat him for me! The damned peasant actually dared to collide with my carriage; he must be tired of living!" A highly arrogant shout rang out.

Following the sound, he saw a luxurious carriage stopped not far ahead. A man wearing the uniform of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy stood on the carriage, directing several attendants to beat a man dressed in ordinary clothes.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, I am wronged! I did not collide with your carriage!" the middle-aged man being beaten cried out.

"Bullshit! My horse was startled after looking at you in the crowd. It must be because you are so ugly that you scared it. You mean to tell me that doesn't count as a collision?" the man shouted.

The beaten man: "..."

"Fourth Prince?" Xue Hen raised an eyebrow. There was only one person in Heaven Dou City who could be called the Fourth Prince—the scavenger king from the original novel, the future Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire: Xue Beng.

In the novel, it was written that he intentionally disguised himself as a useless playboy to paralyze Qian Renxue. He had even admired him when he first read it, but now, witnessing this 'disguised' playboy in person, he felt...

This guy really isn't a good thing!

"Ahhh, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, spare me, spare my life!" The middle-aged man, beaten until his head was bleeding, shouted for mercy.

"Ha, spare your life? I haven't even said I wanted your life yet, and you're already screaming like that. What a useless piece of trash!" Xue Beng looked with disdain at the man being pinned to the ground and pummeled by his attendants.

"Bang!" As soon as he finished speaking, a violent collision sound erupted. His entire body was sent flying backward, and a shrill, piercing scream escaped his mouth.

"Ahhh!!!"

"Boom!" Like a cannonball, he slammed into a nearby building, collapsing the wall and burying himself inside.

"Your Highness!" His attendants, hearing the commotion and turning to see this scene, were all stunned. A few seconds later, they rushed toward him in a panic.

Xue Hen lowered his raised arm, glanced at the spot indifferently, let out a soft huff, and turned to leave.

The surrounding people, seeing him suddenly strike and send Xue Beng flying from dozens of meters away, were all terrified. They scrambled to clear a path for him, and not a single person dared to stand in his way or even get close to him.

As for Xue Beng's attendants, they were busy digging him out, fearing for his life, and for a moment, none of them thought to apprehend the 'villain' who dared to strike a prince in Heaven Dou City.

Just like that, Xue Hen swaggered away from his 'crime scene,' but he didn't get far. In a small alley on the next street, he suddenly stopped and said, "Come out, you sneaky thing."

"Whoosh!" As the words fell, a nimble figure jumped down from the alley wall.

It was a young girl wearing a short skirt and leather armor, revealing fair thighs, with deep purple short hair. She looked full of spirit; while not exactly a peerless beauty, she possessed a strange, bewitching charm.

Her eyes were green, very peculiar, giving off a somewhat eerie feeling.

"To think you could discover me, you've got some skills. However, daring to strike a prince in Heaven Dou City is not a wise move! Although I also hate that playboy Xue Beng, Grandpa said his uncle and he have done us a favor, so, sorry, I have to capture you and hand you over to him for disposal." The girl lazily fiddled with her nails, speaking to Xue Hen in a languid tone.

Ignoring her overconfident words, Xue Hen looked at her hair and eyes and said calmly: "Miss, you are poisoned."
