CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 158: THE CROWN PRINCE HAS BECOME COMPLETELY INHUMANE!

Bai Susu didn’t expect Prime Minister Bai to know about Feng Qiwu’s return so quickly.

Most importantly, he even asked her to show some concern for Feng Qiwu.

For a moment, Bai Susu couldn’t help but nod and say, "I understand, Grandpa. Has the northwest bandit issue been resolved?" Bai Susu pretended not to know.

Hearing this, Prime Minister Bai nodded with a complex expression, "That’s right, and it was resolved by the Crown Prince alone."

"Really?" Bai Susu widened her eyes in a look of astonishment.

Prime Minister Bai replied with a hum, "Who would have thought the Crown Prince has become so powerful? When you go to the Eastern Palace, you must be very careful."

This kind of Feng Qiwu... it seems that even the Emperor’s people can’t restrain him anymore.

"Yes, I will, Grandpa. Don’t worry," Bai Susu quickly responded.

On the side, Chuntao and Nuansummer listened to Prime Minister Bai’s words and felt a blockage in their hearts.

This feeling of having a secret that can’t be shared is truly uncomfortable.

Prime Minister Bai thinks the Crown Prince will definitely be cold to Miss, but in reality?

The Crown Prince is gentle in front of Miss.

However, even if they were to say this, no one would believe them and might even think they were putting on a brave face for appearance’s sake.

"Alright, I have some matters to attend to in the cabinet. Remember to personally prepare some delicious food for the Crown Prince," said Prime Minister Bai.

Bai Susu quickly nodded, "Yes, I understand, Grandpa."

Only then did Prime Minister Bai leave.

But after he left, Bai Susu immediately turned to look at Chuntao.

"Chuntao, the task of making pastries is yours," Bai Susu blinked.

The original owner could make pastries, but how could she?

She’s okay with cooking some home-style dishes, but making pastries, she didn’t even know how to mix the dough!

Upon hearing Bai Susu’s words, Chuntao looked at her disapprovingly, "Miss, the Crown Prince treats you so well, how can you be lazy about this?"

Nuansummer also said, "Yes, your pastries are so delicious, why not make them yourself?"

Bai Susu: ...

I’d love to, but I can’t.

Once I start making pastries, I’m afraid both of you will realize I’m not Bai Susu.

Her face quickly showed a hint of fatigue. With a "I’m so tired" expression, Bai Susu said to the two, "I also want to do it myself, but I’ve been running around these past few days and have no energy to make pastries. Chuntao, you make such delicious pastries, you do it."

Hearing this, the two immediately showed a look of sympathy.

"Then Miss, hurry and rest. We’ll take care of the pastries for you."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work," Bai Susu weakly said, quickly returning to her room to lie down and pretend to rest.

Seeing this, the two became even more convinced that Bai Susu’s previous words were meant to put on a brave front.

Indeed, with the northwest being so far and remote, how could Miss not suffer hardship?

She just didn’t want them to worry, so she didn’t mention the bad parts.

They promptly pulled down the mosquito net, letting Bai Susu rest at ease.

After the two left, Bai Susu sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the mysterious manuscript mentioned by Witch Doctor Gu He from her sleeve pocket.

The so-called mysterious manuscript was actually a book composed of stick figure drawings.

But each figure was dotted with various points.

Perhaps because she had studied medicine and memorized the human body’s acupoints well, or perhaps because of her Taiyin Body, as Witch Doctor Gu He mentioned, which made her the most suitable to cultivate the mysterious manuscript, she instinctively understood its meaning when it was spread open before her.

When she finished the mysterious manuscript and came back to her senses, she found her abdomen feeling warm, like there was a hot water bottle inside.

Bai Susu couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

Did she just accidentally direct energy successfully while reading?

This was too fast!

Could it be that she was actually a plain and ordinary little genius in cultivation?

Raising her eyebrows, Bai Susu felt a bit surprised, yet somewhat disappointed.

So this is what’s called cultivation? It doesn’t seem as magical as I thought.

Besides her belly feeling warm, she didn’t have any other sensations.

But soon Bai Susu didn’t think too much about it, deciding to cultivate anyway!

Then she folded up the mysterious manuscript and stuffed it under her pillow, continuing with the method she just used.

...

While Bai Susu silently studied the mysterious manuscript, in the Void Realm’s Heavenly Mechanism Sect, a group of elders were completely dumbfounded.

Elder Ling Su’s words turned out to be true.

Feng Qiwu’s inevitable fate of death was silently resolved by an alien star they knew nothing about.

This was undoubtedly good news for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but now a new problem had arisen.

Where did this alien star come from?

Would its appearance impact the future of the Xuanhuang Continent?

"Immediately deduce where this alien star originated. In three years, the great calamity of heaven and earth will come, and we must ensure this alien star will not affect the future of the Xuanhuang Continent," clan leader Ling Yu spoke solemnly.

An alien star altering Feng Qiwu’s fate is undoubtedly a good thing.

But, as the saying goes, misfortune and blessings are interdependent.

Good things can sometimes turn bad.

Upon hearing Ling Yu’s words, the other clan elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect nodded solemnly, then silently nodded to each other, sitting cross-legged in front of the high Observatory, beginning to deduce the origin and current position of the alien star jointly.

...

At this moment, Feng Qiwu was summoned into the Imperial Palace by Feng Qingyang.

Perhaps because he already knew how to control Star Power, Feng Qiwu’s aura seemed increasingly unfathomable, and when his face was full of coldness, it gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

As soon as he entered the Imperial Study Room, Feng Qingyang’s already less-than-pleasant mood turned even worse.

The reason was nothing but that he also felt the oppressive aura of Feng Qiwu surpassed his as an emperor!

How could Feng Qingyang tolerate this?

Suppressing the almost uncontrollable murderous intent in his eyes, Feng Qingyang feigned sincerity and said to Feng Qiwu, "Has the Crown Prince returned? It must have been hard battling the bandits this time."

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu coolly replied, "Father, you’re overpraising. I didn’t find it hard, only exhilarating."

Feng Qingyang heard this and, despite himself being someone who climbed to his position through a sea of corpses, felt a chill at Feng Qiwu’s words.

Nearly forty thousand lives!

Slaughtered in one night!

Yet the Crown Prince, this executioner, not only didn’t find it hard but only exhilarating.

What does this imply?

It implies that the Crown Prince has become utterly inhumane!

Killing for him has become merely a pastime.

Although it was all planned by him to turn the Crown Prince into his current state, and he was happy to see the Crown Prince go crazy killing,

But this time, Feng Qingyang developed a sense of fear towards Feng Qiwu.
