After watching the couple for a while, Liu Rushuang leapt to the roof with Little White Flower, and Nangong Ba followed suit.
“Who do you think they are?”
“Who knows? Must be some elite who came to cause trouble! Those looks and martial arts are certainly extraordinary!”
The young couple could not help exclaiming.
Meanwhile, Liu Ruishuang headed to roof of the main house, where Prime Minister Liu lived.
“Sister, what is that statue? It looks so pretty.” Little White Flower asked then, pointing at a beautiful statue at a distant lake.
Liu Rushuang smiled mirthlessly. “That’s Guanyin of Childbirth.”
Suddenly, there was a loud bang at the house beneath their feet and an angry bellow! “Quick! Get me another woman! I’ll never believe I can’t get a son!”
“P-Prime minister, perhaps you should stop! You had twenty-eight wives over the last two years, but none of them could give birth! They couldn’t even lay an egg, let alone a son!”
“Hmph! It’s all that wretch’s fault—I regret so much that I didn’t strangle her to death back then! I basically allowed her to return and kill my sons and daughters... they were all I could have managed in this life, but they were all killed by that wretch!”
“Calm down, prime minister... it wouldn’t help matters even if you’re furious. The empress still mourns the loss of the princes and princesses, and has abandoned all court duties to pray at the temple every day. To make matters worse, the sixth prince is definitely no saint and neutral towards you, just as the second prince is curbing your influence as he conspires for the throne. And in spite of his lust and greed for power, the fourth prince is trying all he could to change his destiny without caring for what he had to do. The current situation is not really positive, prime minister!”
Bang—
Another heavy object was slammed into the ground.
“I never could have imagined that wretch would survive after being sent to that temple, and even become a clan master of Blood Feast. There is no doubt that the wretch sent their people to kill the crown prince and the princess, and I can’t wait to kill her every time I thought about it! Hmph! If I have to suffer because of this, that wretch’s mother should suffer too! Go! Dig Wu Xiyu out of her grave and burn her into ashes! I definitely don’t want to meet that wretch in the next life!”
“B-But, prime minister, where’s that woman’s grave?”
“...I remember that she was dumped at a mass grave, and she must have been eaten by beast by now! Forget it, just leave! Now get me another woman, and hire more mages to curse that wretch! She was born inhuman from the start—able to talk and walk in less than a month. I knew then that she must be a demon, and it was my blunder that I didn’t kill her right then!”
“Don’t worry, prime minister, I’ll hire some mages to curse her right now! It’ll definitely work!”
“Yes! Go get it down right now!”
***
Liu Rushuang sneered. How ridiculous! By what right does scum like that get to live?
Nangong Ba inhaled sharply when he saw her icy expression. There was little wonder now why he felt that she was exceedingly brave and tough—even if she had consumed the eternal youth pill to look the same for perpetuity, her indomitable spirit that her entire body exuded moved him profoundly.
He had lost went they first fought, and even lost his heart to her.
Nangong Ba took a deep breath at the tournament in the palace. If he had won at the time, would Shuang’er belong to him now?
