Arc 2.14 Zu Tian

Bam!

"What did you just say?!" Chen Mo roared in anger.

"General Feng said that he would not keep quiet about the matter. He wants to bring us down with him. Crown Prince, he might just tell--!"

The man in black was not able to continue his words when an expensive-looking vase was thrown at him.

"He dares!!!!"

"Crown Prince, don't be angry."

The man in black lowered his head more, though his blood was dripping from his head to his cheeks, he did not dare to wipe it off in fear of angering the Crown Prince.

He only kept his head bowed low and waited for his orders, just like the loyal dog he was.

"Fifth."

"Awaiting your orders, Crown Prince."

"Gather everyone. Tonight, we must end the trouble or we join him in hell."

"Yes, Crown Prince!"

The man in black quickly disappeared after receiving his order. He did not dare tarry or else he will be joining Feng Niao in the grave, albeit a little too early.

"Feng Niao. Feng Niao!!"

Chen Mo threw everything on his table to the floor in anger. His eyes were shining with viciousness and craziness but clarity could also be seen in them.

"Sighs. Feng Niao, why did you not just die peacefully? Now, I had to do something before your scheduled death. I had to dirty my own hands with your dirty blood."

Saying so, instead of anger on his face, the Crown Prince grinned maliciously and eyes filled with unknown emotion.

Licking his lips, he imagined the last time he saw Feng Niao.

Feng Niao in a white robe looked like just an immortal that had just descended to the mortal realm, paired with his beautiful face, he was almost perfection.

That time, his face was just like a blooming flower wet with dew rain. His eyes were red like he was about to cry, his lips were plump, he was just so perfect.

When he saw him, he almost could not stop himself and reach out.

"Such a waste."

*groans*

Looking at his stiff little brother, he sighed.

"It looks like I needed that slut to help again. Just thinking about her face that looks like Feng Niao's makes me so hard. Hm~"

Five men in black silently made their way into an isolated place with only one quarter occupied.

Looking left and right, they finally opened the door of their target.

Seeing the target sleeping, one of the men in black slowly steps toward the bed.

"Feng Niao, don't blame me. Blame your bad luck."

Raising his dagger in the air, the man harshly stabs the man inside the quilt.

Stab!

"Huh?"

The man who stab the sleeping man felt that something was wrong.

He felt that what he stabbed wasn't a human but a....

Throwing the quilt aside, the man in black was met with a pillow with a smug smile drawn on it.

All of the men in black gasped and looked at each other in understanding.

"It's a trap!"

"Run!!"

Understanding that they were caught in a trap, the assasins quickly ran but it was already too late.

"Catch the assassins!!!"

"Catch them!!"

Screams of enraged people came from all directions, they were surrounded, and they knew now that they could not possibly escape.

"Crown Prince, what should we do?"

"Damn it! Didn't you say that there was no one guarding him?! What is happening now? We fell into a trap!!"

Chen Mo who was at the center of the group also panic thinking that if he were caught there it would all be over!

"Crown Prince?!" The man in black screamed being stabbed in the stomach.

"This is all your fault! All your fault!!"

Chen Mo looked like he had gone mad and kept on stabbing the man in black in the stomach again and again in rage although the man in black was already dead.

His eyes were so red he looked like he was on drugs. Losing his mind in rage, he looked like a deranged person.

"Crown Prince, please stop it."

"He is already dead, please stop Crown Prince."

Seeing their Crown Prince who was supposed to be noble and cool at times turning into a deranged person stabbing their captain, the others felt afraid and also felt that their Crown Prince had changed.

"Why should I stop? This is all his fault! If not for him giving false information then we would not be trapped here!!"

"Surrender yourself and you shall be given mercy. Your death will not be painful!"

Hearing the crowd outside shouting for them to come out, it only made his mind more unstable knowing that he would not escape this time.

Why did he even come here in the first place?

If only he knew that this would be the result then he would have not come!

He would have not been greedy and come here to see how Feng Niao would die!

He would not have come here to take pleasure in Feng Niao before he dies!

He should have not....!

Wait!!

There is a solution to his problems!

Laughing, he whispered something to his minions.

"As you ordered, Crown Prince."

The man in black cleared his throat to scream out all that he had to just get out of this situation.

"Emperor of Qi! If we die here today, your favored concubine will also die with us!! Hahaha!!!"

"What do you mean?" Zu Tian who was staying quiet all this time responded to the threat of the man inside.

Hearing his distressed voice, Chen Mo thought he had finally won.

"You don't know but your favorite concubine had been poisoned by me! If I die today she won't be able to live either!!"

"What do you want?!" Zu Tian hissed.

General Shen along with the soldiers looked at their Emperor as if he had gone mad.

They were thinking that just for a woman he would let go of the assasins, assassins that could possibly be their very enemy that must be brought down.

"Your Majesty....." General Shen was about to say something but Zu Tian stop him.

Thinking that he had won, Chen Mo laughed in glee.

"Lian'er ah, I didn't know that you would be so useful to us at this moment. I was just trying my luck but didn't think... I didn't think that the Emperor of Qi would be so smitt--"

But before Chen Mo could finish what he was about to say, a resounding laugh echoed outside.

"Do you think that, that would be what I would say, Chen Mo?"
