Late at night, the Heaven Dou Imperial family was in an uproar.
The spacious hall was magnificent, with dragon and phoenix patterns carved onto the pillars and a floor of polished marble. At the front of the hall, an old man sat on the central throne. His majestic presence made the officials kneeling below tremble in fear.
"Xue Xing, are you saying someone publicly harmed our imperial members in the Great Spirit Arena, and even those who survived were cruelly maimed?"
After a long silence, the old man on the throne finally spoke. The crafty-looking middle-aged man standing beside him—Prince Xue Xing—nodded.
"Yes. Their methods were extremely cruel. According to the survivors, the attackers were students from Tianshui Academy."
If Fu Ye were present, he would recognize them as Emperor Xue Ye and his brother, Prince Xue Xing.
"Tell me," Xue Ye said, a veteran fox who knew his brother's nature all too well. "What was the reason?"
Xue Ye had no love for Tianshui Academy since they had previously rejected the imperial family's olive branch.
"Your Majesty, regardless of the reason, it is no excuse for killing dozens of imperial members. If you give the order, I will personally capture them!"
Xue Ye sighed. Even if Xue Xing was at fault, he was still his brother. The dignity of the royal family had to be upheld. "I understand. Do it cleanly. Do not make me clean up your mess again."
At 4:00 AM, Xue Xing gathered two Spirit Emperor-level protectors. He had investigated and found that the Dean of Tianshui was not present; only two young people, a man and a woman, were leading the team. In his eyes, a Spirit King would be the limit of their strength.
"Uncle, are you really moving against them?" A young man with a folding fan asked excitedly. It was Xue Beng.
"Hehe, it's just an academy of women. Their Dean dared to threaten me before; now I'll show that bitch what pain feels like." Xue Xing's face twisted into a lecherous smile. The girls of the Tianshui team were top-tier beauties. Once they were in his hands, he could do whatever he wanted.
"Uncle, I want Shui Bing'er! That little bitch dared to move against me before! Once she's caught, I'll cripple her cultivation and make her crawl before me like a dog!" Xue Beng added with a cruel grin.
At 5:00 AM, before the sun had even risen, Fu Ye was in the middle of a "marathon" session with Xiao Wu and the others in the top suite of the Tianxiang Hotel.
Fu Ye felt incredibly satisfied with the Time Barrier Cards he had found in the system.
[Item: 12-Hour Time Barrier 1-Hour Trial Card. Effect: Changes time flow; 1 hour outside equals 24 hours inside. Stock: 99,999+. Price: 0.]
He had spent the equivalent of six days with his three wives inside the barrier, while only six hours had passed in the outside world.
"Brother Fu Ye... you cheated..." Xiao Wu murmured, exhausted and barely able to speak before falling into a deep sleep.
Just as Fu Ye was about to join them, he sensed three presences rapidly approaching. "Mhm? The Heaven Dou royals move fast."
Through his detection, he identified the intruders. "Two Spirit Emperors... and Xue Xing? This is going to be interesting."
If it were just the guards, Fu Ye would have simply killed them. But since Xue Xing—a man even more lecherous than Dai Mubai or Ma Hongjun—had come to lay hands on his girls, he deserved a fate worse than death.
Fu Ye produced three pale purple talismans: the Confusion Talismans he had previously used on Yu Xiaogang and Tang Chuan.
"What a shame only three people came. Xue Xing is going to have a 'grand' time."
As the talismans dissolved into mist, Xue Xing and the two Spirit Emperors froze in place right in front of the hotel.
By 10:00 AM, the sun was high, and the area outside the royal city was "bustling" with activity.
"Disgraceful! Utterly disgraceful!" an elderly woman cried out, covering her face as she hurried away.
"Holy crap! Prince Xue Xing is truly... vigorous!" "Tsk, I didn't think the Prince was a 'corn kernel' type!" "The rumors about the royal family being libertine were true, but this is a bit much..."
Outside the city walls, in full view of the public, Prince Xue Xing and his two bodyguards were engaged in a scandalous, drug-induced display that would forever ruin the reputation of the Heaven Dou Imperial family.
