A brutal crown prince

"Oh....what should I do? Poor demons....

You guys heard him, right? Finish them like he said.... just choose the way you wish as long as it would give them a slow and brutal death."

The prince knew these words were meant for her subordinates, so he remained silent, waiting for the princess' attention to turn back to him.

Princess Jingyi had finally stepped out of the gambling house she was in. Regardless of the fact that she had just let her subordinates give certain demons in there some light punishment that would only cost their petty lives, the princess was still in a mood. But this time, her anger was directed to a particular someone who had just served her as a royal advisor.

"Ahh..... dammit! Your Excellency..... how many time do I have to tell you not to call me a princess? Don't you even know the male term for it? "

One might think how the two could get along together when both of them knew the identity of each other very well. Yeah.... there was a hidden story behind, of course. And it was a little complicated too. But until the time came, their little story would be kept behind the scene.

"Um... wait. Since you're also a prince, it would be a bit strange to use that word for me as well. How about this? You can either call me didi or erzi. That sounds great, right?"

This was not the first time anymore, being urged by his princess to call him with these strange addresses. And it would not be the first time either that he declined her suggestions.

"Nope..... I still prefer the word princess. "

"Ahhhh.... fine! Then don't even think about hearing the word "gege" from me in this life time. You're never going to get younger from that uncle stage. "

His princess was so fierce. But if this crown prince couldn't handle this much, then he was not Ming Zixin anymore. Smirking, the prince replied in that amused tone like it was a fun to tease this princess.

"It's still okay. After all, this prince had been accustomed to it since a very, very long time ago. "

The prince knew this was no different from provoking an already angered viper. One might think he was tired of living or something. But of course not. With this little evil princess of his here, he wouldn't get enough of it even if he were to be given a thousand lives by gods.

"Shit.... fuck you, Ming Zixin. Fuck you a thousand times. "

Bursting out in laughter, the prince shook his head. But then, when he realized the voice transmission from another side had stopped, his smile faded somewhat. It seemed like he had gone a little overboard. But that's not his fault either. How could he bear to call his future wifey with terms like didi or erzi? That was no different from asking for the impossible.

According to the order of emperor Ming, this crown prince Zixin should have been in a war at the outskirts of the kingdom, subdueing rebellious demons by now.

Still, it was okay. There, he left a double of his own to handle matters. A war and to look for a kid.....obviously, the former one was way more significant. One might think this prince was such a brainless one to leave his subordinates with his shadow in the war.

But the prince was extremely accurate with his plans. He was not being foolish. Everything was going smoothly under the control of his hands. The war..... there was not much left of the enemy to eliminate by now. The winner was already decided and he knew very well about the capability of his trusted double. It would be such an easy peasy thing for him. And according to his calculation, the war was going to come to an end in a month or less.

On the other side, only a few weeks ago did he just manage to come into contact with a particular heart-eater demon who had that unique ability to locate whereabouts of anybody by reading stars.

That demon was such a nuisance. The prince couldn't even make him wait for another month. In as a free and idle demon as he was, this demonic cultivator just wouldn't stop saying he had so many things to do in this realm and didn't have that much time to spare for a certain little deal. And thus why this crown prince ended up here even before the war had come to an end.

One might ask why this crown prince was looking for that particular kid in a hurry. Was that kid someone who had exceptional gifted powers or possess some special ability? Indeed, that's the question this prince also wanted to find out.

To tell the truth, Ming Zixin was searching for the kid as to the deal between him and the demon He, the very father of his beloved. That demon agreed to hand over his daughter to him if he were to be able to fulfill three wishes of his. It might sound unfair for princess Jingyi because she didn't even know there was this deal between her father and friend.

Both of them tacitly agreeded to keep this as a secret from her. But Ming Zixin didn't feel guilty for that. As long as he could make her his, then everything was fine. It was not important even if his ways of dealing things were unfair or brutal.

As long as this princess could became his in the end..... it was all that mattered. One might wonder isn't he the crown prince of human realm? How could it be possible to make a demonic princess his queen? Even if her father agreed, what about opinions of his citizens?

An emperor seemed to have supreme powers of the entire kingdom in his hands. But nothing could be further from the truth. If citizens made a judgement that this emperor was committing treason to his own kingdom, then it would be just game over for him.

All powerful sects in the kingdom would go against him. No matter how powerful he was as an emperor, it would be no minor thing to subdue all the force of such great sects. Worst case scenario, he might even get overthrown.

But this prince already had plans in his hands. Nothing could scare him. Nor no one could block the way to his destination..... not even his imperial father.

Laying on the cold earth with his back, the crown prince prepared to turn in as he closed his eyes and muttered something out of habit.

My princess Jingyi.....this prince will come to see you in your sweet dreams....so just wait....
