Chapter 715: And So The Game Continues
For years, he had nurtured her, making her the envy of every woman under the heavens. But now, her face was splattered with his blood, and she looked down on him, a mocking smile playing on her lips. Her eyes, filled with disdain, pierced his heart, cutting it into a thousand pieces.
"Why..." The Crown Prince\'s voice, once filled with anger, now carried a hint of desolation. No grief could surpass the death of his spirit. He had despised Empress Zhao, but never had he imagined that the sweet, docile girl who shared his bed would deliver this fatal blow.
More cruelly, no one answered his cries. Two more formidable women appeared in the cage. A nine-tailed fox demon grinned savagely and tore off the Crown Prince\'s left leg on the spot. Another, clad in golden armor and wielding the golden war blade he had bestowed upon her, severed his last remaining limb.
Four top female Immortals from the Celestial Court, each with a single move, transformed the once-revered myth of the Crown Prince into human swine...
Now, the Crown Prince lay crippled in a pool of blood, his body crushed under the dual suppression of the Azure Bird Mystical Array and Chaos Emperor Lotus. The four women stood around him, looking down with eyes full of scorn and mockery.
"Ugh..." The noble Crown Prince of the Celestial Court could not withstand such contempt. His heart and soul were torn apart in disbelief, his will shattered. All he could do was repeat over and over, "Why? Why?"
"Enough, don\'t kill him, my darlings."
Suddenly, a lazy, rough voice sounded in the Crown Prince\'s ear. His bloodshot eyes struggled to focus, seeing a disheveled middle-aged man, Lu Fan, yawning and stretching. He addressed the exquisite, noble female Immortals around the Crown Prince, "I\'ve missed you all. Haven\'t you been waiting long?"Empress Zhao lowered her head slightly, her face flushed. "My lord, it has been too long since we were intimate."
Such blunt words from the Empress Dowager didn\'t cause any shame among those present; rather, they looked at her with envy.
"Is that so?" Lu Fan threw a flirtatious glance at Empress Zhao, causing the hearts of the gathered women to flutter. He shrugged and stepped forward, placing his foot on the Crown Prince\'s face, a mocking smile on his lips. "Do you understand now, Your Highness? This isn\'t the Western Kunlun Palace. This is my harem."
"You! You\'re heartless! Heaven will not tolerate this!" The Crown Prince\'s spirit shattered completely as he looked at this flippant man and the goddesses who were now like lovesick puppies before him. His heart ached as if torn by a thousand blades.
"It seems you still don\'t get it." Lu Fan tilted his head, scanning the crowd. Suddenly, he remarked, "How did some men sneak in here? Kill them."
At those words, the already disoriented young male Immortals were struck with terror.
"Mother, let\'s run!" Jian Chi hurriedly grasped the arm of his mother, the Sun Sword Goddess.
"Go!" On the other side, Zhao Yuanbao, drenched in sweat, clutched his mother, Lady Fortune.
"We can\'t escape, my child."
The Sun Sword Goddess\' eyes were crazed. Suddenly, a Sword Soul appeared in her hand, and with one swift stroke, she severed her son\'s head. She then crawled on her knees towards Lu Fan, presenting the head as an offering.
Beside her, Lady Fortune\'s Life Sigil shattered Zhao Yuanbao\'s skull.
"Mother, I\'m scared... so scared..." Zhao Yuanbao\'s body flailed, grabbing at the air like a drowning man.
One by one, the last dozen young male prodigies who had escaped from the Taiwei Imperial Palace fell by their mothers\' hands, each death more bewildering than the last.
Some young girls, unaware of the situation, were scared out of their wits, while their mothers and sisters calmly assured them that to offer themselves to that man was the greatest fortune and blessing in their lives.
"Hahaha..." The bloody scene sent Lu Fan into fits of laughter. He stroked the Sun Sword Goddess, then placed Jian Chi\'s head on the Crown Prince\'s chest, laughing so hard he bent over double.
"Come, come." Lu Fan no longer looked at the stunned Crown Prince, but turned and walked into the Peach Blossom Villa.
Empress Zhao blushed deeply, following him first.
Before entering, the Crown Prince caught a glimpse of her golden dress slipping off, revealing a body that once belonged to the dignified and beautiful consort of the White Emperor, now an eyesore to him.
Next, the Crown Princess, Saintess Yao Xi, skipped along, not sparing the Crown Prince a glance, her face full of anticipation as she entered.
Her dress turned into peach blossoms, and the body that once belonged to the Crown Prince was now firmly in Lu Fan\'s grasp.
The Lunar Demon Mistress, Combat Sovereign, Lady Fortune, Sun Sword Goddess... one by one, the Celestial Court\'s beauties followed, giggling and blushing like maidens.
In a daze, the Crown Prince found himself surrounded only by corpses, no living soul left beside him.
The music from the Peach Blossom Villa reached his ears, drying up his tears.
"Let me die! Let me die!" The Crown Prince bit off his tongue and shattered his eardrums, wailing in agony.
He feared death, so he hid from the Great Mother and Yun Xiao, seeking refuge here. It was because of this fear that he had clung to life for so many years, sending countless mortals to die in his stead.
But now, in this moment, he longed for death. For everything he had taken pride in was trampled underfoot, a torment worse than death itself.
He finally understood that some forms of despair in this world were indeed more painful than death.
He nearly bashed his head to a pulp, but even so, death eluded him.
▬ι══✧⚰️✧══ι▬
The Crown Prince had no idea how much time had passed. In his near-death state, he opened his bloodied eyes and saw a disheveled middle-aged man through the crimson haze.
Grinning with yellowed teeth, the man looked at the Crown Prince and said with some emotion, “All the men of your Celestial Court were slaughtered by that freak of nature. From now on, I\'ll have to bear the burden.”
“Ki-kill me!” The Crown Prince croaked with his broken throat, the words escaping in a rasp.
“What?” Lu Fan patted his face and laughed, “Don\'t be like that, brother. If you\'re not here to listen, even if I double my efforts, it would be boring.”
Then he pinched the Crown Prince\'s nose and chuckled, “Besides, weren\'t you the one most afraid of dying? Stay alive. Only the living have hope.”
“Fine...” The Crown Prince\'s eyes widened, glaring fiercely at Lu Fan, a cruel smile on his lips, “I\'ll live! I\'ll live to see the day you die! Don\'t be so smug, Lu Fan. I know who your nemesis is! It\'s Yun Xiao and Divine Dawn. They\'ve crippled you once already! No matter how triumphant you feel now, before true monsters, you\'re just a clown performing tricks! What\'s the point of breaking these married women\'s bodies? If you have the guts, bring Divine Dawn here!”
SMACK! Lu Fan slapped him hard across the face, his brows furrowed, voice snarling, “Fine! You wait! Just you wait!”
“Dear.”
At Lu Fan\'s first outburst, a pair of jade hands steadied him from behind. It was the impeccably dressed, elegant, and dignified Zhao Shi, the young Empress Dowager.
She cast a cold glance at the Crown Prince and said, “There’s no need to get angry with this wretch. Bring out the All-Life Empress Gu, and we can proceed to the next step.”
Upon hearing the words All-Life Empress Gu, the Crown Prince\'s eyes widened in horror as he looked at the pair.
“Bring it out!” Lu Fan grabbed the Crown Prince\'s mouth with one hand and thrust the other down his throat, fingers ripping through flesh and muscle until he reached the Crown Prince’s lungs.
With a violent yank, he extracted a writhing, white worm as thick as a baby’s arm, its body covered with human-like faces.
“Heh.” Lu Fan tossed the Crown Prince to the ground, cradling the white worm in both hands, grinning, “This little thing toys with the concept of life itself.”
“It will elevate you to endless heights,” Empress Zhao said, her beautiful eyes burning with fervor.
“Haha…” Lu Fan embraced her, laughing wildly as he held the worm, walking away into the distance.
“Hahaha…” The Crown Prince’s face was covered in blood, his once handsome features now hideously distorted, yet his laughter grew louder, more open, and dripping with self-ridicule.
“So you’re playing this game too? That’s wonderful, really wonderful. I don’t believe your end will be any better than mine!
“HAHAHA!” The Crown Prince laughed so hard he coughed up blood, convulsing, but he wouldn’t die. He gazed at the heavens with his bloodied eyes. Suddenly, tears streamed down his face, and he cried out in anguish.
“Father, now, your son believes in karma and retribution.”
