My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 1268 - 1194: Let’s Go, Time to Escape!

This all started because I glanced at him a few more times and uttered some dirty words. As a result, all the prisoners were harshly treated, and the state of this prison was thanks to his handiwork — all because of a brawl.

The prison guards and even the Ministry of Justice were all troubled. They wanted to control this beauty, but his strength didn’t allow them to get close at all.

Yet, he cooperated particularly well; after the fight, he chose a large cell to sit idly in, then urged them to hasten the investigation. He even handed over that mummy without hesitation.

But what kind of death turns someone into a mummy in just a few days, being drained of blood and flesh?

Moreover, which prisoner in this world is as arrogant as him?

Even the Little Tyrant Mu, the overlord in the capital, isn’t as recklessly arrogant and combative as him.

Feng Xiu’s eyelashes fluttered open, and he glanced at the suddenly appearing Qin Liuxi in the cell with disdain, clicking his tongue: "You look ugly as hell."

Qin Liuxi replied: "Are you bored? If you’re done playing, get to work. Why waste time here?"

"I’ve never been here, just came to take a look." Feng Xiu spread his hands: "The dog Emperor wants to freeload off our hard work. Not adding some trouble for him makes my Dao Heart unstable!"

"Enough already." Qin Liuxi scoffed lightly, saying, "He doesn’t have long to live, now he’s paralyzed in bed, nothing is more unbearable than this."

No emperor could tolerate being bedridden, like an old toothless tiger, watching his power slip away bit by bit; this is far more agonizing than death.

Emperor Kangwu is no exception.

"Back to the point, was Yan Dong really possessed?"

Feng Xiu nodded, saying: "I’ve already examined the soul; there are remnants of two auras in his Divine Mansion, one evil and one righteous. The person is gone, but it’s unclear who did it."

"It must be that person who fears chaos in the world." Qin Liuxi said coldly: "First, use elixirs to ruin Emperor Kangwu’s health, then invade and deceive him with nightmares, inciting him to offer sacrifices. His goal is to remove the Emperor and plunge the world into chaos."

"If he wants to kill that dog Emperor, why make it so complicated? Can’t he just do it directly?"

Qin Liuxi shook his head slightly: "He’s the Emperor, protected by the true dragon. Direct action would incur significant karmic backlash, which he wouldn’t want to endure. Moreover, this move might be intended to hinder us; there’s already suppression of the Buddhist and Taoist doors happening among the people, you’ve heard about it, right?"

Feng Xiu frowned: "Hmm, the Buddhist and Taoist doors are bound to feel disheartened."

They wholeheartedly save the world, yet people remain ignorant, blindly suppressing, robbing, and destroying them. Even the warmest heart will feel cold, and the fragile or selfish ones might just give up outright?

After all, what they do is for all living things, but the people treat them coldly like ungrateful wolves; who would be willing?

If they’re unwilling, they’ll watch indifferently, seeing the weak struggle desperately in despair.

The two simultaneously thought of this and blurted out: "This is perhaps what he wants to see."

Attacking by exploiting human nature’s weaknesses.

Now, in the shadows, he might be mocking them, saying, look, these are the cold, indifferent, selfish people the Righteous Path wants to save. Is it worth it?

"Cultivators face adversity, as long as they’re true to their Dao Heart. All conspiracies in the face of strength are insignificant, we simply need to respond accordingly." Qin Liuxi’s voice softly echoed: "All conspiracies fall apart before strength, we’ll cope as we go."

"Is the dog Emperor really getting our Changsheng Hall for free?" Feng Xiu said: "Should I show that dog Emperor what killing intent is? I’ll scare him to death!"

Also, let him know that killing him won’t be roundabout and torturous, but silent and swift.

Qin Liuxi replied irritably: "Don’t cause more chaos; plagues and disasters abound, the courtiers are almost going crazy. If things get more chaotic, it’ll be us who suffer. Let’s go, it’s time for escaping!"

Feng Xiu stood up, thought for a moment, then asked: "All the auspicious beasts in the Great Sacrificial Hall at the Holy Altar have been cursed, if the remaining ones are even harder to handle than those we found, what should we do?"

Si Luo is a lunatic; he doesn’t value the living beings of this small world, but they do. What if some Array Eyes are placed in even trickier locations?

If destroying an Array Eye would result in many deaths, should they destroy it or not?

Qin Liuxi held his left finger bone, lowered his eyes, and casually said: "When the moment comes for the sword to reveal itself, even if things are insurmountable, they must be done. You know me, if killing one person can save thousands, I’ll do it without hesitation."

Suddenly, both heard a commotion, locked eyes, and swiftly vanished from the prison.

The prison guard delivering meals let out a clang as the tray fell to the ground, exclaiming sharply: "Oh no, the prisoners have escaped!"
