Chapter 177: This is still not enough
Zhou Li felt that his current life was very good.
Every day he woke up, everyone he met would respectfully say, “Greetings, Your Highness,” treating him like the future emperor.
Any woman he desired would obediently lie in his bed that very night.
As for the occasional foolish fellows who dared to offend him, their graves were now covered in tall grass.
This kind of life was truly wonderful!
Although, whenever he touched the white jade chess piece hanging around his neck, he would feel a slight confusion, wondering who the master was who sent him this treasure!
It was because of this treasure that he was able to turn misfortune into fortune, not only escaping beheading but also becoming a candidate for the future emperor.
Such a great gift made Zhou Li feel extremely grateful to that master.
However, if he were to meet that master at this moment, he would unhesitatingly order him to be killed.
He was the Prince of Linfeng Kingdom, and no matter what happened, it had to be him!
Although Zhou Li was not part of the Zhou family, he was well aware that he did not possess royal blood.
Everything was just a mistake made by this group of people.
If anything, perhaps the person who gave him the white jade chess piece was the one with the true royal bloodline.
In the past, when Zhou Li was in the Zhou family, he lived a life of arrogance and tyranny. But now that he had tasted the sweetness of being a prince, he would naturally fight to the death rather than let it go.
Anyone who dared to stop him should be prepared to meet their doom!
Thinking of these things, Zhou Li’s obese face twisted into a cold smile. After drinking all the tea in his cup, he stood up, preparing to find some women to amuse himself with.
After gaining special privileges, any woman Zhou Li fancied, whether married or not, had to obediently be at his mercy.
If anyone dared to resist, before he even gave the order, there would be fawning sycophants ready to act on his behalf.
Since he didn’t have to do anything himself, Zhou Li was more than happy to relax, completely unconcerned about how his reputation would be tarnished… In his eyes, having become the sole “royal bloodline” of Linfeng Kingdom was his capital for being arrogant.
Without him, Linfeng Kingdom might have lost many lives.
Therefore, what was the big deal about simply playing with a few women?
It was also the good fortune of these women to be favored by him!
When he ascended the throne, all the women in the world would be his, and he could sleep with whomever he pleased.
He heard that the current empress was a great beauty…
Thinking of the scene where he would later have the empress under him, Zhou Li couldn’t help but reveal a lecherous smile, causing the maids serving him to show a hint of disgust. However, due to the difference in their current status, they could only endure it.
They had all been touched by Zhou Li and were no longer pure.
Among them, several could not bear such humiliation and directly committed suicide by hanging themselves. Their bodies were thrown into the disorderly grave field without even a tombstone.
Their relatives also suffered harassment.
It was precisely because of this outcome that the maids did not rashly seek death.
They could only live in humiliation, wearing false smiles and accompanying Zhou Li in his absurd acts.
They had also heard news from outside that if Zhou Li truly became the emperor of Linfeng Kingdom, this country would be finished.
It would sooner or later be ruined by Zhou Li.
“Your Highness, are you in a good mood today?”
“Oh my, it’s Lord Zhou! Huh? Why is Lord Lin here too? And Lord Wang and Lord Liu, have you come specifically to see me?”
A greeting directly pulled Zhou Li out of his fantasies. When he looked impatiently at the old men before him, he remembered what the leader of the organization had told him and did not fly into a rage. Instead, he put on a refined smile.
Once these damned old fellows left, he would find women to vent his frustrations!
Even if he played them to death, it would be fine.
After all, there were many other women waiting for him to play with!
As Zhou Li was thinking about how he would play with women later, coupled with his increasingly obese face, a smile would reveal folds of flesh, making him look quite fierce.
The old ministers standing before Zhou Li did not say much, but instead, they chuckled and chatted about trivial matters with Zhou Li, wanting to strengthen their relationship.
These old ministers were all supporters of Zhou Li becoming emperor and held considerable positions in the court. It was precisely for this reason that Zhou Li dared not completely fall out with them.
Their visit today was not purely to chat about personal matters with Zhou Li.
Instead, news about Zhou Li being a demonic dragon had spread rapidly, causing them to feel a jolt of unease and a hint of wavering.
They were not unaware of Zhou Li’s recent behavior, but considering his status as a prince, even if he played a few women to death, it was not a major issue.
However, upon connecting it to the demonic dragon harming the true dragon, they immediately panicked.
If Zhou Li was indeed a demonic dragon, and they helped him ascend to the throne, any turmoil that occurred in Linfeng Kingdom… it would all be their fault!
Therefore, the old ministers came together today to see how things were going with Zhou Li.
“Your Highness, should we act now? Those old fellows have also arrived.”
“Act! You retreat first, otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll be caught in the crossfire.”
“Understood.”
Hidden behind the wall, Xi Yang nodded quickly after hearing Gu Yu’s words. He did not worry about Gu Yu’s safety and quickly used his lightness skill to leave.
Gu Yu had many ways to deal with things, and if anyone dared to provoke him, they wouldn’t even know how they died.
And upon finding Zhou Li’s location this time, Gu Yu’s act of having him lead the way here already meant that Zhou Li was about to face great misfortune.
After confirming that Xi Yang had left, Gu Yu smiled slightly. Then, he reached into his spatial storage and took out a bell with an ancient appearance, which he began to shake rapidly.
As the bell’s sound rang out, the people who were talking immediately stopped, standing frozen and motionless.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction.
As expected of the Soul-Suppressing Bell.
Afterward, Gu Yu put away the bell and quickly walked to the crowd. Seeing the teacups in their hands, he generously took out a large bottle of laxatives.
He picked up a spoon, put the powder into the teacups, and stirred it a little. From now on, they would be spending the next few days intimately acquainted with the latrine, relieving themselves to their heart’s content.
But this was still not enough…
Looking at Zhou Li sitting in his seat, Gu Yu raised a hand and stroked his chin, quickly contriving wicked schemes to prank them.
It didn’t take long before he thought of one!
To prevent everyone from waking up, Gu Yu shook the bell again, then kicked Zhou Li off his seat and onto the ground. Afterward, Gu Yu took out a dagger and quickly cut open the clothes on Zhou Li’s back, revealing a back as flat as a board.
Then, with a swift movement of his hand, Gu Yu carved a large character “Demonic” onto it.
To prevent blood from obscuring the writing, Gu Yu specifically used hemostatic and analgesic powders, ensuring Zhou Li felt nothing.
After finishing everything, Gu Yu threw Zhou Li back onto the chair. He then looked at the teacups beside him. Instead of adding laxatives, he took out the prepared “Three-Day Blood Stasis Pill” and shoved it directly into Zhou Li’s mouth, forcing him to swallow a large cup of water.
Although putting poison in the teacups might have been drunk by Zhou Li, there was also a chance he wouldn’t drink it.
Gu Yu’s purpose this time was not simply to cause trouble, but to take Zhou Li’s life.
As long as Zhou Li died, the matter of royal bloodline would end there.
