Mu Tai hated Qiao Lian'er to the core and cursed her day and night, but when Qiao Lian'er actually appeared in front of him, he was filled with horror and couldn't utter a single word.
Moreover, his current situation is like that of a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
"Get out of here! What do you want to do? Do you want to kill me?"
Suddenly remembering that he was still wearing that Buddha amulet, Qiao Lian'er realized that she couldn't do anything to him after all, and her confidence returned.
Mutai suddenly burst into laughter.
"Go ahead and kill me, yes, you are omnipotent, but I was prepared. You want my life, but you will never succeed if you do it through these crooked means."
Qiao Lian'er really wanted to take action and get rid of this menace, which would be like eliminating a major problem.
But as soon as she conceived of this idea, she felt a scorching, invisible wall blocking Mutai's way.
But there was clearly no Buddha amulet on his neck.
Qiao Lian'er looked around and found that the source of the heat seemed to be Mu Tai's arm.
Good heavens, he sewed the amulet into his flesh so that it couldn't be removed under any circumstances.
Qiao Lian'er smiled.
"The eldest prince really will stop at nothing to save his life."
Mu Tai stared intently at her, his eyes bloodshot: "If you're alive, there's still hope of taking your life; if you're dead, there's nothing left."
"Even if I die one day, you will die before me."
Qiao Lian'er nodded: "Being half-dead like this is not bad, it's just that the feeling every day is not pleasant."
"As long as I have a breath left."
Mu Tai gritted his teeth, and blood seeped from between them.
"I'm risking my life so that one day I can take your bones off one by one and chop you into mincemeat."
Imagining that scenario, Mutai seemed to find some comfort and burst into laughter.
Qiao Lian'er just looked at him pitifully.
Mu Tai felt insulted by that gaze, and he suddenly yelled and lunged at her.
Qiao Lian'er simply stepped aside, and he collapsed to the ground like a skeleton about to fall apart, making several crisp sounds.
Qiao Lian'er stood up, her gaze disdainful, as if she were looking at a roadside stall.
Then Mu Tai watched helplessly as Qiao Lian'er vanished into thin air right in front of him.
He was almost frozen in place, unable to think, his mind completely blank.
A living, breathing person was swallowed up by the air.
That's right. She appeared and disappeared suddenly without alerting anyone. Apart from him witnessing it, no one else knew anything about it.
Now she no longer hides her ability from him, and it has exceeded his expectations—direct, bizarre, as if mocking him wantonly, since there's nothing he can do about it.
It was only after Qiao Lian'er had been gone for a long time that Mu Tai came back to his senses, but the cold and eerie feeling on his body just wouldn't go away.
In order to redeem Crown Prince Tuohai, the Dongfu Kingdom spent another twenty years' worth of national treasury, severely damaging its vitality.
The Great Swamp Kingdom received compensation, and Prince Takumi was thrown outside the city gate, covered in a layer of dust.
He was in a terrible state, no longer possessing the noble bearing of a crown prince.
