Chapter 59: Bing Di Kills with Overbearing Might! Xue Beng Dies Miserably! Killing a Prince in Public!

Shui Bing'er furrowed her brows. She really thought this tea tasted awful.

Bitter, astringent, and carrying a muddy aftertaste.

But then she recalled the look of enjoyment on Xue Tianyu's face.

Could it be that the tea was actually supposed to taste good?

Clearly, only Xue Tianyu thought so.

But Shui Bing'er believed that since Brother Tianyu said it was good, there must be a reason.

So she immediately smoothed out her expression and copied Xue Tianyu's tone.

"Mm, it's good."

Qian Renxue and Bing Di were speechless.

This... this thing could be called good?

"Hehe, since it tastes good, let's all drink a bit more."

Pfft...

Now Qian Renxue, Bing Di, and Shui Bing'er all went stiff.

Yet none of them could refute it.

After all, not a single one of them had spoken up to say the tea tasted bad.

Xue Tianyu found it a bit funny as he looked at the three women, already guessing what kind of thoughts they had in mind.

He sipped his tea while thinking.

Right now, Bibi Dong was probably in the process of inheriting the Rakshasa God's position. She wouldn't be easy to deal with.

After all, that was power of another level entirely.

What should he do...

But just as he was feeling a bit troubled, the system suddenly jumped out.

Ding!

[Warm reminder: If you check in with a strong enough individual, you can receive extremely high-quality rewards.]

Xue Tianyu blinked.

It had been hundreds of years since he last heard the system's voice. Now it suddenly popped up like a corpse reviving—how could he not suspect it had been eavesdropping on his thoughts every day?

Still, since the system said so, there must be a reason.

Seems like he should make time to head to the Sunset Forest.

He could try fishing up the soul bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon King from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

And maybe check in too—he had a feeling the reward would be great.

After all, that was a Dragon King.

Alright then. He'd bring Aunt Bing and Aunt Xue along for a trip. As for the competition, Shui Bing'er and the others were more than enough.

…

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Xue Beng paced back and forth inside the palace.

He had been enduring for years. If he hadn't pretended to be a good-for-nothing all this time, Xue Qinghe probably would've killed him several times over by now.

Xue Qinghe was just too suspicious.

"I'll head out and stir up some trouble again today, so Xue Qinghe will still see me as a useless fool not worth killing..." Xue Beng muttered helplessly.

Just then, one of his confidants slipped in and knelt down, holding up a jade slip. "Your Highness, Prince Xue Xing sent intelligence—something major happened in Heaven Dou City last night."

Xue Beng was eager to leave the palace, so he casually placed the jade slip on the most prominent spot on the table.

"I'll look at it when I get back. I have to go out today and put on a good show. If I don't stir up trouble, Xue Qinghe might start getting suspicious."

After putting on his usual garb, Xue Beng hurriedly left the palace and hit the streets.

In his mind, so what if it was fresh news?

What did it have to do with him?

His current survival strategy was to regularly wander the streets of Heaven Dou City, seizing every opportunity to let the commoners and Xue Qinghe's spies see that he was still a useless, troublemaking wastrel.

He had to make Xue Qinghe think that he posed zero threat.

Otherwise, if Xue Qinghe decided to silence him, he'd be finished.

So for now, he had to keep his head down and bide his time.

At this moment, Xue Beng swaggered down the street and saw a young man approaching with two stunning beauties he had never seen before.

As a seasoned playboy, Xue Beng had seen many women in his day, but these two cold and elegant goddesses were truly a first.

"Perfect. Today's wastrel act will revolve around them."

Xue Beng studied the young man walking between them.

So young, and without any noticeable energy fluctuations—he probably wasn't very strong. Easy target.

With that, Xue Beng strode right up to Xue Tianyu and threw out several gold soul coins.

"Kid, tonight those two girls are coming with me. These coins are enough for you to buy ten women for yourself," Xue Beng said with a lecherous grin.

His attention was entirely focused on the two beauties.

Bing Di and Xue Di.

Sure, one of them was a bit flat-chested, but that had its own appeal.

Besides, the other one more than made up for it.

As Xue Beng indulged in his fantasies, he completely failed to notice the horrified expressions of the surrounding onlookers.

Sure, they all knew Xue Beng was a wastrel—but was he this dumb?

He didn't know what had happened last night?

And now he was provoking that youth?

He was practically begging to die.

Xue Tianyu stood still, eyes scanning the prince's clothes.

Xue Beng?

When he saw that Xue Tianyu wasn't responding or picking up the gold coins, Xue Beng got irritated.

He reached out to shove Xue Tianyu aside.

"Wanna die?"

"Die? Do you even know who I am? I'm a Heaven Dou prince! Be a good boy and—"

In the next moment—

Xue Tianyu's gaze sharpened. A thin line of blood appeared on Xue Beng's neck.

Slash!!!

Blood sprayed out like a fountain, dyeing the street red. The rest was blocked by an ice shield Xue Tianyu conjured, so none splashed onto the three of them.

Then, the head hit the ground.

Thud.

The body collapsed right after.

It was only at that moment that Xue Beng finally heard the murmurs of the nearby crowd.

But it was already too late.

Regret surged through him like a tidal wave.

He never imagined that the cause of his death would be—

Not reading the news!

"Wahhh!!"

The bystanders clearly hadn't expected Xue Tianyu to act so decisively. There hadn't even been time to react—Xue Beng had already been killed.

From the expression frozen on his severed head, everyone could see the shock and regret he felt in his final moments.

Though he had long since earned a foul reputation, and few felt any pity, he was still a prince.

Afraid of getting caught up in the mess, the surrounding citizens all quickly backed away.

Only now did Xue Beng's guards finally react.

"How dare you assassinate a royal prince in public!"

In an instant, dozens of guards surrounded Xue Tianyu's group.

"Throw them in prison for judgment!"

These guards, accustomed to bullying the common folk, acted especially arrogant, thinking they were now enforcing royal authority.

The people watching couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Another one who didn't read the news.

The whole city had been buzzing about what happened last night—and these guys still didn't know?

Trying to act tough in front of that man?

Were they asking for a new save file in life?

Seeing these guards still so arrogant, Bing Di grew annoyed. With a wave of her hand, all the guards instantly turned into ice sculptures.

Then shattered.

These weren't ordinary ice statues—they shattered completely, along with the people inside.

A single move wiped out dozens of royal guards.

Not a single one survived.

Bing Di slowly raised her head.

"Still not enough. The body count's too low—our name doesn't carry enough weight. If we killed more, people like him wouldn't dare provoke us again."
