The Villain: Before I Died, I Stole A Kiss From The Heroine

Everyone was in an uproar.

Surprisingly, Su Shi actually guessed it, there really was something at the bottom of this pond!

Now no matter what was at the bottom, this was clearly a form of disrespect and a great crime that could not be forgiven!

Chen Wangchuan was the first to react, "Everyone, go down and search carefully!"

The officers and soldiers of the Demon Extermination Division entered in a line of fish.

Half a column of incense later, the people resounded with shouts of surprise.

They saw the officers and soldiers carrying out a corpse from the basement.

It was none other than the Gao family members who had mysteriously vanished!

The Prince's House, it's over!

The air became deathly silent.

Disbelief was written in everyone's eyes.

How could Prince Chu really be involved in Gao Fan's conspiracy?

Chen Wangchuan said coldly, "Does Prince Chu have anything else to say?"

Chu Yin's face turned pale as he stiffened his neck and said, "All of this was done to thoroughly investigate the case."

"What evidence do you have that proves that I have conspired with outsiders?"

Even if the Gao family's corpses were found, so what?

This was not enough to prove his involvement.

As long as he refused to admit it, there was nothing Chen Wangchuan could do!

So what if the Gao family was captured and tortured, they were already sinful anyway, so what if they were found in his residence?

At that moment, the officers and soldiers took out several large boxes from the ground.

When the boxes were opened, people exploded again!

They were filled with countless spiritual treasures and golden marrow stones, and even had imitation jade seals, golden armor, and bright yellow dragon robes!

The rebellion's intentions had been clearly revealed!

Chu Yin froze, "These, these aren't my things! Who put them here? It's obvious that someone framed me!"

"Patriarch Chen, we found these over there as well."

The Demon Extermination Division lieutenant came over with a jade box.

Chen Wangchuan opened the box.

Inside were nearly a hundred jade letters and correspondence.

Detailed records of the entire process of conspiring with the Tiger Clan, setting up the Blood Slaughter Formation and trying to purify the residents!

The hill was as clear as a mountain!

Chen Wangchuan looked at Chu Yin, "Prince Chu, what explanation will you give for this?"

Chu Yin exclaimed, "Impossible, that's….."

Those letters should have been destroyed by me long ago …..

At this point, his voice stopped abruptly.

Everything was clear.

The palace servants were shocked!

Chu Yin hung his head low, his nails digging into her flesh, blood flowing down his fingers!

He finally realized that this was not an investigation at all, but an attempt to suppress him to death completely!

There was no intention to give him a chance to live in the first place!

"It's you?"

Chu Yin raised his head, his eyes reddening as he stared at Su Shi with hatred, "You were after me from the start!!!"

The other party had obviously prepared for all of this.

Otherwise, how could they have discovered the secrets under Xianqing Pond?

Su Shi shook his head, "Prince Chu, what are you talking about? All the evidence already points to you, you still want to be evasive?"

Gao Fan was just a small town lord, how could he be involved with the Tiger Clan?

Besides, even if he purified the people of the city, what use would it be to Gao Fan?

Back then, Gao Fan was relegated to the northern border, but his wife and children stayed in the Capital and were obviously used by Chu Yin as hostages!

Chu Yin's teeth clenched.

Su Shi had ruined his plans in Huangyuan City, and now he had seen through the illusion of Xianqing Pond, pushing him into the abyss before everyone.

He is clearly a rebel of the Demonic path, why does he repeatedly obstruct my plans!?

Could it be that he is really in cahoots with Feng Chaoge?!

Looking at the officers and soldiers around him, a trace of cruelty swept across Chu Yin's eyes.

The matter had come to this, the Prince's House was finished.

Even if a trial was held, even the Red Book Iron Voucher would not be able to save his life! 1

He must fight!

Chu Yin smashed the blood jade in his hand.

Blood light appeared!

The entire princely residence instantly became dark, seemingly enveloped by dark clouds!

There were bursts of exclamations from worried people.

In the shadows, several figures wearing ghost masks appeared and swept towards Chu Yin.

"Even if you had taken everything into account, you wouldn't have thought that this entire princely residence was built on a formation!"

"As long as I'm alive, there will still be opportunities in the future."

"We leave!"

The ghost-faced man grabbed Chu Yin's arm.

Right at that moment, a blazing light flashed as if it was a blazing sun tearing through the night!

He saw Su Shi's body airborne, silver light exploded around him, and the green frost on his hands clattered sharply!

Slash!

With one sword strike, all the swords bowed!

Boom!

The sword intent struck the eye of the formation with such precision that the entire formation collapsed and shattered in an instant!

Su Shi's silver eyes looked at Chu Yin indifferently, "I told you, don't play with the formation in front of me."

"Kill him for me!"

Chu Yin was furious.

Several ghostly shadows stopped Chen Wangchuan, and one of the ghostly-faced figures shot towards Su Shi.

"Insolent!"

The searing heat surged like waves!

Eunuch Wei was seen turning into a blazing sun, his palm wrapped in spiritual power slapped fiercely, and the ghost-faced man fell to the ground with a wild spray of blood.

"Eunuch Wei?!"

Chu Yin's pupils shrank to the point of needles.

Head of Internal Affairs. 2

Even though it's only a second-rank official, it's equivalent to a ministerial position!

Eunuch Wei landed on the ground and said, "We have been ordered to protect Duke Su, if Prince Chu doesn't want to die, you better get rid of your evil thoughts."

Kee!

The other ghost-faced men were also all controlled by Chen Wangchuan.

The guards were all controlled by the officials and soldiers of the Demon Extermination Division.

In just a few moments, Chu Yin's resistance was declared a failure.

The air was extremely silent, the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

The sound of footsteps rumbled from far and near as the Royal Guards in golden armor arrived quickly, as if a huge net had closed in on the Prince's Residence.

After a moment of silence, a flash of golden light swept through the air.

A golden scroll appeared out of thin air and floated silently in front of Eunuch Wei.

A holy edict!

Everyone except Su Shi knelt down.

Eunuch Wei took the decree with both hands and carefully unfolded it, on which were written sixteen large golden characters.

"Her Majesty has decided."

"Everyone from the royal family, escort them to the imperial prison, investigate thoroughly and honestly, and they will be beheaded without mercy!"

Chu Yin sat helplessly on the ground.

Chu Qi's head was still somewhat confused.

What had just happened?

How could they turn into rebels?

The Royal Guards broke into the prince's residence and escorted Chu Yin and the others out, taking even the servants and household staff away.

The originally noisy mansion was suddenly empty.

Only the blood on the ground showed what had just happened.

Everyone looked at the man in white.

It hadn't been long since Su Shi arrived, yet he had destroyed the Prince's residence with his own hands!

It seemed that everything was under his control.

This man was truly terrifying!

"The Duke said he came to join the fun ... obviously came to 'kill' someone!"

"Prince Chu, it's over!"

The ministers who were usually good friends with Chu Yin were as pale as paper, and they thought about how to get out of this situation.

"Thanks to Duke Su today."

Chen Wangchuan smiled as he walked over.

He was happy that he had listened to Su Shi, he had not expected that Chu Yin was actually hiding something under the Xianqing Pond!

Su Shi shook his head, "Even if I don't say anything, Patriarch Chen will find out something in the end."

Chen Wangchuan was puzzled, "Why?"

Su Shi sighed, "Do you really think that Chu Yin would be stupid enough to make a fake jade seal and put it in his residence?"

Chen Wangchuan froze for a moment, then sucked in a cold breath!

"You mean Her Majesty ..."

Su Shi did not say anything.

That already implied everything.

"Feng Chaoge is a ruthless person."

Everything had been arranged by her.

Chapter 44: "This Is My New Wife!"

[High-end residential area in downtown NY City]

"Jump… jump, jump, jump! I'm almost through this level…" Don clutched his tablet, his eyes glued to the screen, his nerves tense and unrelenting.

Darn game had killed him eight times tonight already. But he had a feeling—this time, this level, he could definitely—

Ding-dong—

Suddenly, a message popped up.

Don's hand twitched, and the precise movement he was aiming for ended up being just a bit too forceful… and once again, Game Over.

Justin, who dressed just as sloppily as Don, leaned over with a sly grin. "Did your parents message you, telling you to go home?"

"Go back to get scolded?" Don scowled, hesitating as he hovered over the notification. "Besides… it might not be my parents."

Justin suddenly realized, "Oh! You did something shady, didn't you?"

"Eheheh." Justin waggled his eyebrows. "So, is it your future in-laws checking up on you?"

Don coughed twice and opened the app. When he saw the sender was June, his eyes widened in surprise.

Huh?

Why June?

Don's parents were both researchers—highly educated, highly intelligent, and also Beast Tamers. They firmly believed in "like father, like son." Even though they didn't spend much time with him, they were confident that Don, who had inherited their excellent genes, wouldn't turn out to be a disappointment.

But when Iris publicly thanked Asher for something...

The couple realized that they might have been wrong about their approach to education.

Acknowledging their mistake, they immediately made changes without delay.

Previously, Henry and Marie would spend half a month at a time in the lab without returning home. Now, they came back frequently, much to Don's misery.

When he wasn't dealing with school teachers, his two professor parents were at home giving him daily lessons. If he couldn't remember something after one explanation or failed to understand it after two, they'd tug on his ears and make sure he learned it.

And of course, there were constant comparisons to Asher.

"Look at Asher! What do you have compared to him? Jealous? Do you even have his talent?"

Even though Don had only met Asher once, it felt like Asher was omnipresent in his life.

Frustrated, Don ran away from home and moved in with his good-for-nothing buddy, Justin.

Every day was filled with eating, drinking, and gaming—a life of blissful irresponsibility.

But Don hadn't forgotten the one who made his life miserable: Asher!

No way could he let Asher have the last laugh when he was suffering like this!

Thinking about how Asher often hung out with June and Lin Weiwei, surrounded by that ambiguous atmosphere, Don had secretly taken photos of Asher and June together, as well as photos of June frequenting Forbidden Zones. After adding some carefully crafted captions, he sent them to June's mother this afternoon.

He thought June's parents would call or message him to ask for more details.

To prepare, Don had even rehearsed an exaggerated explanation, convinced it would ruin Asher's reputation in their eyes.

But unexpectedly, it was June herself who messaged him.

Don was baffled.

Still, he opened June's message and saw a photo radiating with pure joy.

For three seconds, Don was stunned by June's beauty. Then, his gaze shifted to the large fox embracing June from behind.

"This is…?" Don frowned, zooming in on the image to examine it carefully.

The more he looked, the stranger his expression became.

While his intellect wasn't on par with his parents', years of exposure to their research environment and an above-average IQ allowed him to quickly draw a conclusion: if this photo were real, then that beast was the Fire Fox's new evolved form.

Could it be his parents' research institute had made a breakthrough?

Don quickly checked the institute's official website. After confirming there was no new progress and that the evolution research on Fire Fox and Flame Dog remained at the "speculation and testing" stage, he made a swift judgment:

"It's fake! This photo is definitely fake!"

"This has to be Photoshopped."

Hearing this, Justin leaned over. "What's fake? What's Photoshopped?"

Then he saw the picture of June and the big fox.

"Holy crap!" Justin's eyes widened as he snatched the phone, staring at the Fox Queen in the photo with infatuation.

"This fox is so gorgeous and captivating. I declare, this is my new wife."

He put the phone down and slung an arm around Don's shoulder. "Buddy, you're my best bro, right? I'm even letting you crash at my place. Help me out—ask June where she got this pet beast. I want one too."

Price? Not an issue.

His new wife had to come home with him.

Don rolled his eyes and swatted Justin's hand off his shoulder. "Who's your bro?"

"Besides, it's not even clear if the photo's real. I'm telling you, it's fake," Don declared confidently.

Justin didn't buy it.

"Why's it fake just because you say so? Just because you've never seen it? Maybe June actually tamed a new pet beast in the Forbidden Zone."

For his "new wife," Justin was no longer fighting on the same side as Don.

Talking smack about June or Asher? Sure, he'd join in.

But badmouthing his new wife? Absolutely not.

Don: "…"

"Look at this fox—its fur color, its design, its appearance. Doesn't it look like a specially evolved Fire Fox?" Don tried reasoning with Justin. "The problem is, the known evolution path for Fire Fox only leads to Flame Fox, and Flame Fox doesn't look like this."

"I'm telling you, June definitely Photoshopped this to mess with me."

Justin: "Why can't it be a newly evolved form we don't know about?"

"No way! Absolutely impossible!" Don was fuming.

'What happened to brotherhood?'

'Now you're siding with June?'

"Why would June waste her time Photoshopping just for you? Do you think you're that important?" Justin shrugged. "You should know by now how little she cares about you."

"Besides," Justin continued, "didn't you say before that June and Asher hanging out was all for research? Maybe they really did discover a new evolution path for Fire Fox."

Don was so mad he was shaking, his grip on the phone trembling.

"Fine! I'll get proof right now!" Don immediately sent the photo to his father, Henry.

Justin might not believe him, but he'd have to believe his dad.

With his father's sharp eye and expertise, he'd easily spot that this photo was fake.

Forget about "new wife." He'd make sure Justin's dreams were shattered.

1. What is the "Red Book Iron Voucher"? "Iron coupons" are iron products that look like copper tiles, and are commonly known as "free dead cards". Its manufacturing method is molten iron cast tile, which is like a steamer, broken into two pieces, and shaped like a slab tile. It is a kind of reward and covenant certificate issued by feudal emperors to heroes and important ministers.
