Chapter 252: Exploded
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Nian Kui was led inside the room, Commandery Princess Hui’an was trying on two new pieces of jewelry in front of the mirror.
The commandery princess did not look up when she heard his footsteps. She nonchalantly asked, “Did you complete the matter? How did the little wench react after consuming the medicine I bestowed on her?”
Nian Kui’s expression was rather foul looking. He knelt down on one knee and said, “Commandery Princess, this subordinate was unsuccessful.”
Commandery Princess Hui’an was taken back and heavily slapped the dressing table. She angrily glared at the kneeling Nian Kui through the mirror. “You’re saying you failed?!”
Nian Kui was a layer-seven body cultivator, so how could he have failed on his mission to handle a commoner in a tiny town?
Hui’an could not accept this kind of failure. She coldly and angrily stared at Nian Kui and asked, “What happened?”
Nian Kui did not dare to look up and organized his words before speedily reporting the events.
Hui’an’s face switched between red and white. She mulled over the matter for a long time before asking with a dark expression, “You’re saying that Brother Crown Prince likes a seven-or-eight-year-old brat?”
Nian Kui bobbed his head a few times. “That’s right. His Highness the Crown Prince secretly left the capital for this girl. I reckon Commandery Princess already knows about this.”
“You ran into Brother Crown Prince in Xijiu City.” Hui’an’s sweet face was so dark that ink could drip from it.
“Yes!”
“Great! Wonderful,” Hui’an uttered between gritted teeth, the jade bracelet threaded with gold that she was holding was instantly snapped broken.
Brother Crown Prince treated her like nothing and never gave her an amiable look. She looked at how he treated people normally and how he always kept a thousand miles between himself and other people, so she thought he treated every girl like he treated her.
Cold, noble, indifferent, and indecipherable, as though he was a clear stream in the depths of the mountain. He was haughtier than anyone in the world and did not allow any girl to approach him.
However, she never expected this kind of person to do something so inappropriate—abandoning the kingdom’s official affairs and leaving the capital overnight. He disappeared for so many days simply to see a commoner girl from a tiny city.
This was utterly incomprehensible! It was also utterly unacceptable and disagreeable!
Brother Crown Prince’s actions pierced a delicate girl’s glass-like heart.
Hui’an fiercely slapped down the broken jade bracelet and ordered with clenched teeth, “Nian Kui, I want you to take another group of people to Xijiu City. This time, I want you to kill this impetuous and arrogant slut mercilessly! Does a slut like her think she can soar into the heavens and turn into a phoenix one day? I absolutely won’t allow her to get her wish!”
“Commandery Princess! This subordinate got a strand of his soul extracted by the crown prince and handed to that girl, so this subordinate is afraid he can’t accomplish this task. This subordinate hopes Commandery Princess will first plead for mercy with the crown prince on this subordinate’s behalf and request that strand of soul back…”
Hui’an’s eyes abruptly shot open. From the mirror, she could see the jabbering guard’s figure suddenly start to swell up like a balloon.
‘No!!!’
Commandery Princess Hui’an absolutely could not imagine the immensity of the damage brought by the self-detonation of a layer-seven body cultivator at such close proximity!
Her legs made to escape.
However, Nian Kui’s body exploded all of a sudden!
The enormous sound radiated out of the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate and shocked half of the capital.
Whether it was the peddlers standing at their stalls or the people chattering with their neighbors or the pedestrians hastily walking on the streets, they all froze and turned to look at the direction of the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate in shock.
The ground continuously trembled from the detonation that originated from the commandery princess’ bedroom in the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate. The terrifying explosion damaged at least half of the commandery princess’ room, as well as snapping a countless number of trees and plants in the rear garden.
