Some young nobles who merely followed the crowd were spared—
their four limbs severed,
left barely alive as punishment.
"Xiao wu-jie… they… they're…"
Shui Bing'er was the first to regain her composure.
Before Xiaowu could respond.....
a familiar figure appeared.
"Tch. Finally couldn't hold back?
I thought you all had given up."
It was Yuan Longxuan.
Using the puppets' tracking signals,
he arrived exactly at the scene.
He swept his eyes over the bodies.
This was clearly the result of disobeying his puppet protocols.
"Yuan Longxuan-gege!
You're back!"
Shui Bing'er reacted first—
throwing herself into his arms like a little cat.
Then she shot a meaningful glance at Zhu Zhuqing.
Her eyes seemed to say:
You monopolized Yuan Longxuan-gege for four whole days.
Now it's my turn.
Deep into the night, chaos erupted within the Heavenly Dou imperial palace.
The grand hall glittered with gold.
Massive pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes soared upward.
The polished marble floor reflected the cold lantern light.
At the very center, an old man sat upon the imperial throne.
His expression alone—stern without anger—made every official kneeling below tremble uncontrollably.
"Xue Xing… you are telling me someone dared to massacre members of the imperial family inside the Great Spirit Arena?"
The emperor's voice echoed like frost.
"And the survivors… had their hands and feet severed?"
After a long silence, the old emperor finally spoke.
At his side stood a middle-aged man with a sly face—he nodded quickly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Their methods were extremely cruel.
According to those who survived, the attackers were students from Tianshui Academy."
If Yuan Longxuan had been here, he would have recognized the two men instantly.....
Emperor Xue Ye, ruler of the Heavenly Dou Empire,
and his younger brother, Prince Xue Xing.
"Speak," Emperor Xue Ye said calmly.
"What reason did they have?"
He had lived long enough to understand his brother's intentions at a single glance.
And Tianshui Academy had publicly rejected the royal family's olive branch before...
so he held no affection for them either.
"Your Majesty," Xue Xing said solemnly,
"Whatever their excuse, it cannot justify killing dozens of imperial clan members.
Give the order, and I will ensure they are captured!"
His words snapped Emperor Xue Ye back from his thoughts.
He already understood eight-tenths of what had really happened.
Xue Xing was probably in the wrong—
but he was still family.
The emperor would not punish him severely.
But the dignity of the royal house must not be challenged.
"Very well.
Handle the matter cleanly.
Do not make me clean up your mess again."
The emperor flicked his dragon robe and swept the trembling officials with a cold glare.
"Court dismissed."
4 AM — Prince Xue Xing Begins His Hunt
Before dawn, Xue Xing summoned two Soul Emperor-level worshippers from within the palace.
He had already gathered intelligence:
Tianshui Academy's dean, Han Ruyan, was absent.
Only two young people—one male, one female...were leading the team.
A Soul King was already considered monstrous for someone that age.
In Xue Xing's eyes, this was an easy mission.
Capture them all.
Make them pay.
"Uncle, are we really going to take down the Tianshui team tonight?"
A young noble holding a folding fan looked excited, eyes glowing with twisted glee.
"Hehe…"
Xue Xing laughed, his old yellowed face twisting into something filthy.
"A little academy full of girls.
I once extended the royal hand to them—
and that woman dared to reject me."
His eyes glinted with lust and cruelty.
"This time, I'll let that bitch understand what real suffering means."
The young noble's eyes burned hotter.
"Uncle, I want Shui Bing'er! That little slut dared to glare at me before!
Once we grab her, I'll cripple her spirit power myself....
make her kneel like a dog!"
Xue Xing grinned even more viciously.
"Hmph.
Don't they claim to be pure and untouchable?
After crippling them and feeding them aphrodisiacs,
they'll become toys begging for more!"
Both men laughed obscenely as they moved through the dark streets.
5 AM — Heavenly Fragrance Hotel, Top Floor
Dawn had not yet risen.
Inside the luxurious top-floor suite.....
Yuan Longxuan was currently "sparring intensely" with the four girls, including the little rabbit Xiaowu.
Warm currents surged in every direction.
The one-man-versus-four battle was approaching its finale.
"Y-Yuan Longxuan-gege… you… you cheated…"
The system panel suddenly appeared:
