Chapter 129: Beat the Hell Out of Him!
You old rascal, are you really going this far?!
The group stared blankly at the mischievous grin on Li Yunji’s face, catching their breath in shock.
"Is your young master always this wild?" Yuntian whispered to Eleven.
Eleven thought about it seriously for a long time before shaking his head. "The young master has only started acting this wild recently."
Yuntian fell silent. This guy really didn't play by the rules.
Li Yunji walked straight up to Dongfang Quan and, without warning, raised his hand and slapped him across the face!
"Smack!"
The sound rang out through the clouds.
The hearts of those watching skipped a beat. This was a prince, for heaven’s sake!
Su Qingmeng’s heart was in her throat. Did this guy have some kind of obsession with slapping people?!
Dongfang Quan jolted awake. When he saw Li Yunji’s face, his pupils constricted. "It’s you!"
Li Yunji slowly crouched down, a wicked smile spreading across his face. "That’s right, it’s me!"
Only then did Dongfang Quan realize he was tied up. He roared angrily, "Do you know who I am?!"
"How dare you treat me like this?!"
"I know, I know." Li Yunji nodded vigorously. "You are the noble Second Prince."
"Since you know, why don't you untie me!" Dongfang Quan said fiercely, his tone turning into a command.
"Are you kidding me?" Li Yunji sneered. "Since I went to the trouble of tying you up, why would I let you go so easily?"
Dongfang Quan’s expression darkened, an ominous premonition washing over him. "What... what exactly do you want?"
Li Yunji didn't answer, just kept up that wicked grin.
"If you do this, aren't you afraid I'll report you to my Imperial Father?"
Li Yunji turned his head to look at Gu Xian'er. "Doctor Gu, you should have a way to make him forget what happened tonight, right?"
Gu Xian'er nodded blankly.
Dongfang Quan’s face turned livid. Watching Li Yunji’s hands inching closer, fear spread rapidly within him.
"What... what are you doing?!"
"What am I doing?" Li Yunji chuckled, his mischievous hands reaching toward Dongfang Quan’s belt. "I'm going to humiliate you thoroughly, of course!"
With that, right before everyone’s eyes, he undid the belt.
Pale, bare thighs were suddenly exposed, the cold moonlight making his skin look deathly white. The scene left everyone dumbfounded.
Su Qingmeng’s cheeks flushed red. She raised her hands to cover her eyes, only daring to peek through the gaps between her fingers.
Gu Xian'er was different; she watched openly.
"Does your young master have this kind of hobby?" Gu Xian'er asked Eleven, turning her head.
Eleven pondered for a long time and muttered, "He didn't before."
"Of course, it’s also possible the young master just hid it well, and I didn't notice."
"Interesting~" Gu Xian'er said, a wicked smile of her own gracing her face.
Eleven felt a chill and instinctively took half a step away.
Dongfang Quan clutched his vital parts, his eyes bloodshot, glaring daggers at Li Yunji. Seeing him like this, Li Yunji became even more excited!
His hands busied themselves with the prince's clothing, and before long, Dongfang Quan was stripped bare!
Yes, that’s the feeling. You must want to kill me right now!
Get angry! You young pup!
Being humiliated in front of two beautiful women! Your dignity as a prince is being trampled under my feet!
Pour all your rage onto me! Come on! Let me bear the brunt of your overwhelming murderous intent!
"Li Yunji!" Dongfang Quan’s eyes were scarlet, his voice a near-scream. "I’m going to kill you, you dog-begotten bastard!!"
Seeing this, Li Yunji was overjoyed. Ignoring Dongfang Quan’s murderous aura, he turned to Eleven. "Do you feel it?"
Eleven grinned. "Back to the young master, I feel full of power!"
...
The Crown Prince's bedchamber.
Hearing the commotion, Zhao Heng hurriedly got up and walked into the main hall.
"Master Tuoba, who is causing such a ruckus?"
"It is Li Yunji." Tuoba Mu had clearly sensed the shift in Eleven’s aura, and his expression was extremely grave.
"Him?!" Zhao Heng looked panicked. "How could he be here?!"
"He broke through my master's 'Instant Eternity'." Murong Lanyue gave Zhao Heng a cold glance, finding him rather noisy.
"What?!" Zhao Heng flew into a rage. "Tuoba Mu! Didn't you say it was impossible for him to escape?!"
Tuoba Mu didn't reply; a single look filled with killing intent was enough to make Zhao Heng shut his mouth.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is tired," Tuoba Mu said coldly. "He should go back and rest."
As he spoke, a white light flickered in his pupils, and Zhao Heng slumped over, unconscious, as if his soul had been ripped away.
"You old scoundrel!" Just then, Li Yunji’s voice echoed from the air outside. "If you don't come out, I’m coming in!"
Tuoba Mu didn't respond, instead letting out a long sigh. "It seems the plan must be moved forward."
Murong Lanyue looked at Tuoba Mu with a hint of concern, but her eyes quickly hardened with resolve. She knew there was no turning back now; Tuoba Mu was betting his life on this!
Casting aside all distractions, Murong Lanyue drew her long blade, sliced her hand, and let her blood drip onto the floorboards in the center of the hall.
In an instant, a brilliant white light erupted, and a formation began to spread out from under their feet!
"Oh, no!" In the distance, Li Yunji saw the white light in the Crown Prince's bedchamber and frowned. "This old scoundrel has no sense of honor!"
"Why is he activating the formation now?" Yuntian was also startled.
Li Yunji had asked Yuntian before; a sacrificial formation required human life as a catalyst to achieve its maximum effect! Furthermore, to reshape the spirit of a great demon like Mu Nanquing, the formation had to be opened when the spiritual energy of Crane Mountain was at its peak—which was a full day away.
Activating it now was a sign of a cornered dog jumping over the wall!
"Eleven!" Li Yunji commanded sternly. "Go and wreck him!"
Eleven accepted the order, grabbed his kitchen knife, and charged forward, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Gu Xian'er and Su Qingmeng widened their eyes simultaneously, feeling only a gust of wind whip past their ears. By the time they regained their senses, Eleven had already appeared outside the Crown Prince's quarters.
Good heavens! Is that kid's speed even human?!
When the two of them arrived, the Xuanwu Guards outside were already strewn across the ground.
Before leaving, Li Yunji didn't forget to cover Dongfang Quan’s head, then turned to warn Yuntian, "Brother Yuntian, since the formation has already started, you shouldn't go in."
Yuntian looked a bit disappointed. "Then what should I do?"
"You have a more important task," Li Yunji said seriously. "Kick him twice every half-stick of incense."
As he spoke, Li Yunji demonstrated.
"Just that?" The muscles on the side of Yuntian’s mouth twitched.
Li Yunji patted his shoulder, his expression grave. "Our lives are all in your hands."
Hearing Li Yunji’s inner thoughts, Yuntian frowned slightly. He wasn't lying...
