“Your Highness, Dragon King, where do you think you’re going?”
As that sinister, slightly smug voice rang out, Ye Shu’s expression changed at once.
Too fast.
He had never expected their opponents to react so quickly.
“What do we do?” The several women realized that something was seriously wrong and looked at him anxiously, hoping he could come up with a plan. Ye Shu’s expression darkened as he said in a low voice, “Now that things have come to this, sneaking out through the tunnel would only make it look as though we’ve lost our nerve.”
“Let’s go up.”
With that, he led everyone out of the tunnel.
A considerable number of beastfolk had already gathered outside the courtyard. They were all trusted subordinates of the several elders, stationed openly or covertly around the courtyard walls and surrounding the place so completely that not even a drop of water could pass through.
Ao Xue swept her gaze over the traitorous rebels.
At the very front stood three extremely old figures: a Devouring Python, a Nine-Tailed Fox, and a Golden-Winged Roc. Yet the Giant Ape City Lord was nowhere to be seen.
Ao Xue’s pretty face turned livid. Her teeth nearly ached from how hard she clenched them. She shouted coldly, “Where is the Giant Ape City Lord? Does he not dare show his face?”
“The Giant Ape City Lord is unwell and is currently resting in the City Lord’s Residence. Your Highness need not worry about him.” The three elders spoke in unison, their eyes gleaming sharply.
Today, the history of the beastfolk would change.
“Hmph!”
Ao Xue’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
Even someone as slow-witted as she was could tell that the Giant Ape City Lord had already fallen victim to these men.
“Why have you come here?”
“To force your way into the palace?”
Ao Xue cast a cold glance over the beastfolk present. Her dragon aura surged forth as she tried to use the pressure of her bloodline to drive away these uninvited guests.
The elders remained completely unmoved. Ao Xue’s bloodline was the strongest, but she had yet to mature. She was unable to exert any true suppression over them across realms.
“Not at all, not at all.”
The Devouring Python Elder stepped forward half a pace and said with a smile, “We merely wish to ask Your Highness one question. Since the beastfolk do not distinguish between bloodlines, and everyone may become a dragon…”
He raised his head and stared straight at Ao Xue.
“If you can sit upon the throne, why can’t we?”
“You think you’re worthy?”
Ao Xue’s face was ashen with fury, and her lips trembled with anger. “You traitorous rebels! I truly misjudged you.”
“Heh heh…”
The elders chuckled and shook their heads. “Your Highness, how can you call us traitors? We merely observed that Your Highness spends every day indulging in men and neglecting state affairs. You even intend to hand the throne over to an outsider. There must be some vile creature manipulating you from behind the scenes.”
“Today, this old man shall purge the court of those who stand at Your Highness’s side!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding beastfolk stepped forward in unison. Their auras erupted and crashed down like a thunderbolt.
The few people in front of the courtyard immediately turned deathly pale.
Jiang Xin looked at Ye Shu with a bitter expression. “You heartless man, what do we do now? I haven’t enjoyed my beautiful life for long. I can’t die just like this!”
Ye Shu stared at her with a stern, solemn expression.
“No.”
“No?” Jiang Xin froze, clearly not expecting that answer. “How can there be nothing? Aren’t you… aren’t you always confident that victory is in your grasp?”
“That’s only when I’m prepared.”
Ye Shu sighed helplessly. “Who could have expected you all to suddenly dump such a huge mess on me?”
He wasn’t afraid of dying.
After all, he still had a true and false incarnation with Mo Yu. At worst, he could fight for another shard.
The problem was, what about the others?
Were they supposed to use the shard as well?
Ye Shu’s thoughts raced as he clenched both fists, his expression growing grim. In truth, he still had one final method. It was something he had comprehended after his reincarnation, but he had never tried it before and had no idea whether it would work.
When they remained silent for quite some time, the Devouring Python Elder took another step forward and looked at Ye Shu with a sinister smile.
“After all these years, I wonder how much of the power of Half-Immortal Ye remains?”
“Can you still fight?”
“Why don’t you find out?”
Ye Shu stared coldly at them, golden light swirling in his eyes. Ao Xue and the others had also prepared themselves for battle, ready to stake their lives in a desperate fight.
Yet just as the situation reached a breaking point, a thoroughly inappropriate voice suddenly rang out.
“Well, well, well. Who would have thought that the three royal clans of old would have grown this powerful? After obtaining this broken cultivation manual, you actually dare surround the royal residence and even claim to be purging the court. What an impressive excuse, and what incredible arrogance!”
“What kind of person are you?”
The three elders turned their heads in unison.
A bull-headed man with an ugly face, two horns on his head, and a dark, pitch-black body slowly approached, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
“Have you become so bold that you even dare attack me now?”
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
