Chapter 1200: All The Careerists (30)

Ming Shu looked at Shen Pin. She smiled. “What do you want?”

The crown prince didn’t answer her directly. He asked, “Although the Fengqi State is ruled by females, it is a powerful state. Other states got merged and conquered but the Fengqi State remained safe.”

The crown prince paused. “However, the Fengqi State gas ample resources. Many people want them.”

Ming Shu interrupted him. “Just get to the main point. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you think that this is your inauguration ceremony?”

The prince: “…”

He smiled. “My aim is simple. I want the Fengqi State to pay allegiance to Daliang.”

“What if I say no?”

The crown prince looked at Shen Pin. “Do you want to become your husband’s enemy?”

“You might want to know what I did to him,” the crown prince continued. “Don’t worry. He won’t die. He will just become my puppet like Duanmu Shu. When I want him to regain his consciousness, he will wake up.”

The crown prince observed Ming Shu’s reaction.

The lady opposite him just smiled. He couldn’t tell if it she was just smiling or sneering at him. The angle of her mouth didn’t change.

There was no anger, no questions, no worry…

She asked, “When did you all start planning this?”

The crown prince suppressed the tinge of worry he just felt. “When? I can’t remember the exact time but I know that it has been many years since we started the plan. My men slowly infiltrated your imperial capital. Some of them even became your state’s ministers.”

He was not stupid. He wouldn’t fight with Fengqi directly.

“However, according to my plan, we would attack at a much later timing.” The crown prince looked as though he was flaunting his success. “Unfortunately, someone escaped from my place.”

This person could only be the female protagonist.

“Duanmu Shu was an accident. I wanted to kill him. Of course, Prince Seven was an accident too… but they were all useful to me.

“So, the right decision to make is to pledge allegiance to me. That way, your Prince Seven will be returned to you safe and sound.”

Ming Shu asked indifferently, “Why are you so confident?”

The crown prince laughed. “The entire imperial capital is under my control. Your ministers and the empress are in my hands too. Do you think the people outside dare to do anything?”

“It’s good to be confident.” Ming Shu walked toward the crown prince. She was still smiling. There was no emotion in her eyes. “But, sometimes, you need to consider the possibility that there is someone… stronger than you.”

The crown prince didn’t stop Ming Shu. He snapped his fingers and Shen Pin walked out from beside him.

“Show me how powerful you are, then.”

Shen Pin grabbed a dagger and charged at Ming Shu.

The dagger was aimed at Ming Shu’s throat. Ming Shu grabbed his hand. He hid his true strength last time so his body always seemed soft and weak.

However, now, it was full of power.

After a failed attack, Shen Pin changed his strategy.

The crown prince looked at them. Shen Pin gained the upper hand at the start because Ming Shu was afraid of hurting him.

Toward the end, he was being suppressed.

The crown prince clapped his hands and Shen Pin retreated.

“I feel that this way is more fun…” The crown prince took the sword from the person beside him. He swung it at Shen Pin as Shen Pin was retreating.

Blood dripped down the blade. It fell on the ground.

Pada—

Ming Shu stopped moving.

The crown prince saw the reaction. As expected, Shen Pin was her weakness.

He heard Ming Shu saying, “Do you know why I don’t kill people?”

This question seemed very sudden.

The crown prince didn’t answer her.

The lady standing opposite him lowered her head slightly. Something seemed to be moving around her.

Her voice rose slowly in the air.

“I don’t kill people. I only annihilate cities.”


She raised her head.

The smile on her face didn’t change.

“Congratulations, Your Highness.”

A chill ran down the crown prince’s spine. He felt goosebumps on his head. The person in front of him was still the same person but her aura was entirely different.

It was…

An aura that made people tremble in fear.

Blood.

Blood congregated into a river and flowed down the street.

The entire city was dead silent.

There seemed to be no living beings left.

Little Beastie squatted on the ground and looked up at the person beside him.

Trash-picker, are you all right?

“Disgusting,” Ming Shu muttered.

Little Beastie jumped on her and licked her fingers. It placed a bunch of fruits that looked like grapes on her hand.

Have some food?

Ming Shu took the fruits and stuffed two of them in her mouth. Reiki flowed out of the fruits.

Ming Shu looked at Shen Pin. She had no energy left so she slowly inched her way over. She hugged him to her chest.

Shen Pin’s eyes were closed. His clothes were clean. No blood was splattered on him.

The crown prince lay on the ground not far away. He was on the verge of dying.

He clawed the ground and stared at Ming Shu as though she was a monster.

“Devil… you are a devil.”

“Oh, that’s what they say too,” Ming Shu muttered to herself.

The crown prince panted heavily. His eyes were almost popping out.

“Tell me, how can he be cured?”

The crown prince was stunned for a moment. He started laughing. “Do you think I’ll tell you? Hahaha…” His voice was shrill.

Ming Shu looked at him. “Search him.”

Little Beastie shook its body. It wanted to stop her. However, when it saw her gaze, it jumped down and rolled toward the crown prince.

“What… are you doing?”

The crown prince was frightened.

Little Beastie jumped on his head and hummed.

Because of you, my trash-picker keeps ordering me around!

“Get off me. What do you want to do?”

The crown prince shook his head furiously. Little Beastie sat on his head stably. He slapped the crown prince’s forehead with it paw.

Its fur started floating. A white light came out of its body.

The crown prince’s face turned purple.

His expression turned hideous. He was in extreme pain. He hurt so much he couldn’t even make a sound. Blood dripped down his lips.

Little Beastie retracted its paw and jumped down hurriedly. It shook its fur with disdain.

It said: He is raising venomous insects in his body. After he is killed, the mother insect will die and the other insects will die too.

Ming Shu placed Shen Pin to the side and pushed herself off the ground. She picked up the sword that was tainted with blood.

“No…”

Swoosh—

The crown prince’s hand fell. His eyes were still staring at Shen Pin.

Little Beastie looked up at the lady who was pulling the sword out of the body.

Aren’t you afraid that I will lie to you? I don’t like him. Maybe I will use this chance to make you kill him personally.

Ming Shu looked down.

She gave a beautiful smile. It only lasted for a second. “If you lied to me too…”

She didn’t finish the sentence. She turned and walked to Shen Pin.
