Chapter 34 The Arrogant Prince 1

On the narrow road, a carriage sped by. Xu Qiuqiu opened her eyes and found herself in the carriage. The carriage was jolting violently, her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was stuffed with a rag.

Xu Qiuqiu was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?

Is it going to be this exciting right from the start? Was she abducted?

"003, are you there?" Xu Qiuqiu asked in her mind.

"Yes, host. Would you like to teleport me to the storyline?" 003 replied, "Host, the system has been upgraded. Teleporting to the storyline won't be a headache anymore."

"yes."

Immediately afterwards, a plot entered her mind: it was set in a fictional dynasty.

This time, the male lead is truly an exceptionally scumbag. The male lead is a prince of the Qi Kingdom named Murong Gu, and the female lead is named Shi Qiu. Shi Qiu was taken in by Murong Gu when she was a child and trained to become a secret guard assassin.

Shi Qiu had always secretly loved Murong Gu, but Murong Gu only treated Shi Qiu as a tool. He was gentle to her when he needed her, and discarded her when he didn't. Later, he even sent her to lead troops into battle, and Shi Qiu lived up to his expectations, winning every time.

However, when Murong Gu ascended the throne, he felt that General Shi Qiu was too powerful and had her martial arts skills disabled, so he sent someone to strip her of her military power and make her a maid who served tea and water.

Normally, life would have continued like this, but then Murong Gu's beloved Xia Yunqing was captured and taken hostage by people from an enemy country. In order to save Xia Yunqing, Murong Gu wanted to exchange Shi Qiu for the hostage.

Because Shi Qiu had killed many people from Lingyue Kingdom during his previous campaign, the enemy country actually agreed to exchange hostages after Murong Gu said that.

It's easy to imagine how miserable Shi Qiu's life was in the enemy's camp. She was insulted, beaten, and even gang-raped until she was almost on the verge of death. Only then did Murong Gu defeat the enemy and rescue Shi Qiu.

After being rescued, Shi Qiu was raised in the palace by Murong Gu. She had to watch Murong Gu and Xia Yunqing being affectionate from time to time, which broke Shi Qiu's heart.

But how could this tragic story end like this? Whenever Murong Gu and Xia Yunqing argued, he would get drunk and come to Shi Qiu's room to force himself on her. Her body and mind were being ravaged at the same time, and Shi Qiu was on the verge of collapse.

Shi Qiu didn't have many years left to live, but Xia Yunqing was naturally unhappy after she found out that Murong Gu had slept with her. She directly arrested Shi Qiu, locked her up in jail, and released dozens of poisonous snakes into the cell.

Shi Qiu was eventually bitten to death by a poisonous snake. When Murong Gu learned of this, he went mad overnight and his hair turned white. From then on, no one ever saw him smile again.

"..." Xu Qiuqiu felt so angry that her liver hurt after reading it.

What the hell? How is this even worse than the last world? Is this the female lead? Is this how the female lead is treated? She seems worse than cannon fodder. What did the female lead do wrong to deserve this?

The male protagonist's punishment was simply that his hair turned white overnight and he never smiled again? Is this what they mean by "You only lost your life, but I lost my precious smile"?

Xu Qiuqiu felt a little nauseous. She was already prone to motion sickness from carriages, and now she had to watch this melodramatic plot while being tied up like this.

The current plot development should be that she has been crippled in martial arts, stripped of her military power, and is on her way to exchange for Xia Yunqing.

The situation is dire; she needs to find a way to escape, otherwise, if she's really sent to the Lingyue Kingdom's military camp, she doesn't want to be beaten and gang-raped...

Moreover, the martial arts she learned in the previous world seem useless now. The female protagonist's meridians are all damaged, making every teleportation a dead end, even more desperate than the previous world.

"003, isn't the timing of this teleportation a bit ridiculous? At least teleport her before the female lead's military power was taken away and her martial arts were crippled." Wouldn't it be better if she just rebelled, killed the male lead, and became an empress then?

"Host, the timing is random, there's nothing I can do about it," 003 replied somewhat apologetically, as it didn't want its host to be in danger every time.

"003, do you have any way to help me untie this rope?" Xu Qiuqiu struggled with the rope, only to find it was tied even tighter.

"The system shop is now open. There is a dagger in the system shop. You can use the dagger to cut it open. Do you want to use the dagger?"

"Yes." Just as she confirmed that Xu Qiuqiu had a dagger in her hand, she immediately cut the rope.

After loosening the ropes binding her hands, she removed the rag from her mouth and then went to untie the ropes binding her legs.

Xu Qiuqiu quietly lifted the carriage curtain, and a man was riding a horse in front of the carriage, with several soldiers in armor and holding swords beside him.

Noticing that the man was about to turn around, she quickly lowered the carriage curtain. The person riding in front should be Murong Gu. How could she escape?

"003, how far are we from the hostage handover point with the enemy country?" Xu Qiuqiu forced herself to calm down quickly.

"Forty li to go," 003 replied after checking the numbers.

"So close?" Forty li is about twenty kilometers, and the carriage will arrive in about an hour and a half.

This meant she didn't have much time left, so she quickly asked, "003, what other items in the system shop can I use to kill the male lead?"

This scumbag male lead is even more disgusting than the one in the previous world, and the harm he caused to the female lead is even more severe than in the previous world. Although she has never killed anyone, if she doesn't kill the male lead now, she will still be sent to be a hostage. If she kills the male lead, she will be free.

Therefore, Xu Qiuqiu decided to kill Murong Gu. Once the male protagonist dies, all of this will come to an end.

"There is a hidden weapon, a poison needle. As long as the host aims it at the male lead and shoots it, the male lead will freeze and die instantly after being hit. However, it can only be used once." 003 looked at the shop's reply. It didn't want its host to suffer the harm caused by the original female lead. So, if the male lead was killed, so be it.

"Okay, give me this." With that, a poisoned needle appeared in her hand.

003 spoke with some concern, "Host, you need to be more accurate with your throws. This world can only be used once."

"Okay." Actually, Xu Qiuqiu wasn't sure either. Although she had studied martial arts for a while, she had never learned how to throw hidden weapons!

But this was her only way to save herself. She calmed herself down and lifted the carriage curtain slightly to check Murong Gu's location and distance.

The distance wasn't very far, about 3-4 meters, so she should be fine, right?

This was the first time she had ever thought about killing someone; her hand holding the needle was trembling slightly.

Calm down, calm down, he's a scumbag and doesn't deserve to live! Xu Qiuqiu brainwashed herself, then took a deep breath.

After calming down, Xu Qiuqiu once again lifted the carriage curtain and threw the hidden weapon at Murong Gu.

Murong Gu reacted extremely quickly. He jumped off his horse, dodging the hidden weapon, and the ice poison needle struck the ground, instantly freezing the ground.

Xu Qiuqiu was completely dumbfounded. Had she failed just like that?

Murong Gu sneered as he jumped up, stepped onto the horse's back, leaped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at Xu Qiuqiu with icy eyes.
