119: The bird was roasted, right? Serves you right!

Looking at the scene that had completely reversed, Xu Xi remained unmoving, having long anticipated such an outcome.

“I told you, when you’re out and about, to live well, you rely on your brain! Unfortunately, you don’t have one…”

Feeling smug, Xu Xi watched everything unfold. Even though he knew he had also taken action, he wasn't flustered in the slightest.

No way, would someone really be accused of fighting when they were just defending themselves?

“It’s just… you even went to find trouble with Zhuge Zhengwo before? Seriously, bro, are you crazy? You caused trouble once and didn’t get a warning, so you thought you were lucky enough? That you wouldn’t get caught?”

“Gambling addicts deserve a terrible end!”

The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. While watching the show, Xu Xi heard Han Yike’s words and couldn’t help but find them amusing.

He never expected such a story existed before he encountered Hua Yi.

“Ah—”

“Thank you, Lord Han, for intervening. Otherwise, I might have lost my life here.”

A scream awakened Xu Xi, who had been engrossed in watching the spectacle. The satisfying sight of Hua Yi being burned made Xu Xi not dare to neglect Han Yike, who was standing in front of him.

He was joking, but if it was really ruled as mutual combat, Xu Xi was genuinely afraid of being roasted by fire himself. Burning his body was a minor issue, but if his “big bird” was also roasted, wouldn’t he lose a lifetime of sexual happiness?

“It’s nothing. This is my duty. It’s just that the First Prince of the Hua Sheng Dynasty is too troublesome. Otherwise, why would I be here?”

After punishing Hua Yi with a burst of flames, Han Yike finally turned to look back at Xu Xi.

She spoke calmly, waved her hand to indicate that Xu Xi was fine, and then ascended into the air and left.

“Little rascal, got roasted, didn’t you? I see your little bird was affected too. Be careful, you might not be able to have children in the future. Otherwise, your good father wouldn’t hand over the throne to a ‘eunuch,’ would he?”

“Hahahaha!”

As soon as Han Yike left, Xu Xi’s previously tense state immediately relaxed.

Hua Yi’s miserable appearance was etched in his mind, and Xu Xi didn’t miss the chance to kick him while he was down. He unleashed a barrage of sarcasm, every word like a sharp needle piercing the bone, making the disheveled Hua Yi, who had been burned, even more furious.

Then, with a roar, a large mouthful of fresh blood gushed out.

“Xu Xi—I’m not done with you!”

After saying that, he couldn't bear the humiliation and fainted.

Naturally, Xu Xi didn’t take Hua Yi’s words to heart. After a round of mockery, he immediately left the scene.

Just now, Hua Yi had taken the initiative to cause trouble and directly attack, but if Xu Xi were to stay, he would become the instigator.

Thinking of how Han Yike roasted people with fire, Xu Xi shivered. This was a matter of cutting off one’s lineage!

“Not done?”

“You have the nerve? Your balls might be cooked, but mine are still here, both of them…”

After leaving, he was still muttering about Hua Yi’s words after he fainted. If Hua Yi had heard Xu Xi’s words, he would have been even more enraged.

“Huh?”

“What balls?”

“Do you want to play? With so many people around… it’s not really appropriate, is it? Although I also think it’s quite exciting…”

Held tightly by Xu Xi, Ye Xueqing had been watching the recent farce and hadn’t spoken until now, after they had moved away from the source of the commotion.

Of course, as soon as she opened her mouth, it was with audacious words, instantly making Xu Xi forget about Han Yike’s “roasted little bird.”

“This ‘wan’ is not that ‘wan’…”

“However, Xue Qing… if you want to play, it’s not impossible. My balls can also play with you, anyway, you’re good at it~”

Xu Xi pinched Ye Xueqing, wishing he could play right now, but he didn’t have the guts.

What a joke. Being watched live by Tang Wan alone was one thing, but with so many eyes in Ziyuan City, Xu Xi really couldn't play such a “revealing” game.

However, as he spoke, Xu Xi couldn’t help but quicken his steps, walking back… “This First Imperial Brother really has no brains. I truly don’t know how he’s survived until today.”

The commotion caused by Hua Yi and Xu Xi swept through the entire Ziyuan City for a time. Everyone knew about the First Prince of the Hua Sheng Dynasty who had been roasted by fire, and they also knew that Xu Xi of the Xuanjian Sect had some tricks up his sleeve.

Meanwhile, Hua Luo, the Tenth Prince of the Hua Sheng Dynasty, who had always been watching his competitor (the one Lü Yongyuan had used to disgust Hua Yi earlier), was beaming with joy.

Ever since entering Ziyuan City, Hua Luo had been waiting to see this imperial brother make a fool of himself.

In the imperial capital, various strategists offered advice to this prince, so Hua Yi had a smooth journey and didn’t make too many mistakes.

But in Ziyuan City? Sorry, normally you could bring as many people as you wanted, but with the Juefeng Secret Realm about to open, there were already too many people, a vast, dense crowd. Even though Ziyuan City was huge, this approach wouldn't work.

Moreover, there were already few people participating in the Juefeng Secret Realm. You, Hua Yi, want to bring more people? Sorry, even attendants can’t bring too many.

Of course, if your status was high enough, that would be another matter. For example, Yi Zhusheng of the Thunderclap Pavilion, didn’t he bring a large entourage?

“Tenth Prince, your calculations were excellent. You knew that the fool, Prince Hua Yi, would be disturbed and lose composure by the Xuanjian Sect’s plan. Otherwise, Hua Yi probably wouldn’t even know about this matter yet.”

Behind Hua Luo, an old man with a grizzled beard stood respectfully, his face amiable, flattering Hua Luo while also disparaging the unlucky Prince Hua Yi.

And from his words, it seemed Hua Luo played an important role in this incident.

“I also didn’t expect him to be so arrogant as to only place people in the Xuanjian Sect and not send others to infiltrate the Xuanjian Sect to investigate its background.”

With a sneer, Hua Luo agreed repeatedly with the old man’s remarks from behind him.

Ever since the Tenth Prince was born, he had been clever and astute, understanding the importance of biding his time. He knew that he was young and couldn't compare to his older brothers who had matured for many years.

It wasn’t until today, with the Juefeng Secret Realm about to open, that he felt his opportunity had arrived.

First, he gathered all sorts of information about his primary enemy, the First Prince, especially regarding the first trial commanded by his father. Hua Luo had performed exceptionally well.

“Next, I need to let Xu Xi know that the Hall of Offerings is colluding with Hua Yi. Once inside the secret realm, these two are bound to be at odds, and I will simply reap the benefits!”

Everything was under control. Hua Luo felt that all events were within his grasp, controlled by him, and the various sensations made him intoxicated.

“No wonder Father Emperor cares so much about his position, refusing to establish an heir for so long, and instead wanting us to compete. So that’s how it is…”

A look of delight appeared on his face. At this moment, Hua Luo’s desire to ascend to the throne reached its peak.

If he didn’t know his own limits, he might have staged a famous scene of filial piety between father and son.

“Tenth Prince, with your profound strategies and the wisdom you inherited from your mother, all your tactics are hidden within you. You will surely be the one who laughs last…”
