What's the Use of a Dog's Life

The rest of my days? I am only twenty-two years old!

"Despicable."

Above Fang Ying's head, crimson flames spewed forth directly.

It was the manifestation of her unique true energy. Lin Zhengyue's words undoubtedly added another layer of salt to the already shattered heart of Young Master.

"Of course, you are loyal and righteous. I believe you won't easily reveal the truth. In that case, I must resort to my own methods."

Lin Zhengyue spoke, his gaze slowly falling upon Fang Ying.

"Your methods?"

Fang Xiu sneered; he was no longer saddened, only filled with anger and resentment.

The entire Zhao royal family had become his enemies.

"I will kill this Vermilion Phoenix Rakshasa in front of you, then frame her for treason. Her corpse will hang in front of the capital city gates. I've heard that the Four Great Rakshasas are as close as siblings. With you incapacitated and the Vermilion Phoenix Rakshasa dead, I believe the other three won't sit still."

Lin Zhengyue's eyes were filled with malice, his words sending shivers down one's spine.

"What a good plan."

Fang Xiu applauded, but there was no smile on his face. The coldness in his eyes enough to freeze an elephant.

"I'll consider it as a compliment."

Chills ran through Lin Zhengyue's body, ready to make a move at any moment.

"Unfortunately, you cannot kill her."

Fang Xiu's tone was as calm as water.

"She indeed possesses the ability to contend with those at the Innate Realm. Her scorching true energy also restrains me. However, my cultivation has already reached the pinnacle of the Innate Initial stage. Killing her is not a problem. I'm sure you that you know it very well."

Lin Zhengyue was incredibly confident.

"You heard me; you can't kill her. Because..."

As Fang Xiu spoke, he suddenly released his aura.

Layers of electric light flickered beyond the surface of his body. The sudden oppression forced Lin Zhengyue to step back.

"You... this is impossible."

Lin Zhengyue widened his eyes, struggling to maintain composure.

"Young Master..."

Fang Ying was overjoyed.

"That's right. My cultivation has recovered. Lin Zhengyue, let's settle the scores of Sky-Breaking Mountain."

Fang Xiu spoke, not giving Lin Zhengyue a chance to react.

He unleashed a punch imbued with the power of thunder, lightning-fast, and reached Lin Zhengyue in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhengyue swung his icy palm to block, colliding head-on with Fang Xiu's fist.

Crack!

The collision erupted in a burst of lightning. Lin Zhengyue's palm twisted severely, shattered by Fang Xiu's fist. He was thrown back several yards.

"It's impossible. This can't be. Your dantian was clearly shattered. Even if you've restored it, your cultivation was only at the pinnacle of the Ninth-Rank. How can you possess such strength?"

Lin Zhengyue, filled with pain, was now in complete disarray.

On the sidelines, Fang Ying, witnessing the scene, was tearfully excited.

Fang Xiu's imposing aura soared. He felt a surge of violent energy throughout his body. He was also suppressing his inner excitement, this was his first battle after condensing the Thunder Veins, and the strength exceeded his imagination.

Even a formidable expert like Lin Zhengyue, at the pinnacle of the Innate Initial stage, was not his match in a single move.

This sudden change overturned Lin Zhengyue's understanding. In his mind, the image of the Marquis of Guanjun was akin to a demon.

Even shattered dantian could be reconstructed as if it were a myth.

Now that the Marquis of Guanjun knew everything was orchestrated by the Emperor, the Zhao royal family had gained such a formidable enemy, and the consequences were unimaginable.

In a state of confusion, Lin Zhengyue, without wasting another word, turned to escape. It must be reported to the Emperor at once.

"Stop."

Fang Xiu had no intention of letting Lin Zhengyue go. A radiant golden sword aura flashed, piercing through Lin Zhengyue's chest.

Agh...

Lin Zhengyue spat fresh blood, collapsing to the ground, his eyes filled with terror.

"Marquis, please don't kill me. I am just following orders, with secrets difficult to disclose."

Lin Zhengyue pleaded on his knees, his chest already soaked in blood.

"I preferred your arrogant demeanor earlier."

Fang Xiu, expressionless, with a terrifyingly cold gaze, regarded Lin Zhengyue as a dead man in his eyes.

"Fang Xiu, do you think that by killing me, you can confront the Emperor? The Princess Royal has joined the Myth Sky Sect and is set to hold an engagement ceremony with the Myth Sky Sect genius, Yu Shuai, tomorrow. Having aligned with the Myth Sky Sect, how do you plan to contend?"

Lin Zhengyue gritted his teeth.

Yu Shuai?

Fang Xiu and Fang Ying were initially puzzled, then exchanged amused glances.

"Why are you both laughing?"

Lin Zhengyue suddenly had a foreboding sense of impending doom.

"Lin Zhengyue, didn't you want to know who my other three great Rakshasas are? You mentioned that each of the Four Great Rakshasas possesses extraordinary talents. So, do you think that Yu Shuai, the genius of the Myth Sky Sect, might be one of them?"

Princess Royal had been divorced by him and had now thrown herself into the arms of the Myth Sky Sect—truly a splendid move.

"What did you say?"

Lin Zhengyue spewed blood.

This is messed up.

How are we going to play this out next?

The engagement banquet tomorrow is going to wonderful.

"Fang Xiu, no, Lord Marquis, I was wrong today and I apologize to you. As long as you spare my life, I'm willing to follow you henceforth, serving like a dog, without hesitation to die."

Lin Zhengyue, devoid of the dignity of a peak Innate Realm expert, continuously begged for mercy like a dog.

He felt that the young man in front of him was too terrifying.

To be enemies with such a person was truly the most horrifying thing in the world.

He could even imagine scenes of the Zhao royal family having their heads crushed and blood flowing in front of the Marquis of Guanjun.

"If you admit to being a dog's life, what use do I have for a dog's life?"

The sword flashed, slashing through Lin Zhengyue's throat. This expert, the number one by the Emperor's side, died on the spot.

"Young Master, your cultivation and injuries have both recovered. It's truly wonderful."

Fang Ying cried profusely, like a child.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you still crying?"

Fang Xiu suddenly relaxed, patting Fang Ying's head.

"If you keep crying, you with the unparalleled beauty will turn into a little cat."

"I'm just crying out of joy."

Fang Ying wiped his tears while continuing to cry.

"How about it? Have you informed the three of them?"

Fang Xiu asked.

"Yes, I have sent messages to them. If nothing goes wrong, they should have arrived in the capital."

Fang Ying said, "But what's the matter with Yu Shuai? I have informed him about Young Master divorcing Princess Royal, so why is he still getting engaged to her?"

"This kid never follows the usual path. We'll know what he's up to at the engagement banquet tomorrow."

Fang Xiu smiled.

"Are you saying that we should attend the engagement banquet?"

Fang Ying suddenly became interested.

"Of course, how can we not show our respect to Yu Shuai and attend his engagement banquet?"

"Hahaha, tomorrow will be fun."

Fang Ying laughed like a bird chirping.

Right now, Zhao Qing'er's ideal husband had turned from Marquis of Guanjun to Yu Shuai, the genius of the Myth Sky Sect.

At this moment, she should be filled with eager anticipation for the future.
