Dai Weisi spat wine into Dai Mubai's face.
Dai Mubai's face turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly, looking like he was about to explode at any moment.
But Dai Weisi didn't seem to care at all.
On the contrary, he watched Dai Mubai's forbearance with great interest.
He raised the wine pot and poured wine from Dai Mubai's head to his feet.
Then he burst into laughter.
"Third brother, do you know what you look like like this?"
"A turtle!"
Dai Weisi kicked Dai Mubai over and sneered, "You better behave yourself."
"Otherwise, I'll castrate you at any time!"
Dai Mubai looked utterly pathetic at this moment.
He stared at Dai Weisi with his evil eyes, imprinting the other's arrogant and smug demeanor in his mind.
Suddenly, Dai Mubai chuckled.
It was a lewd, disgusting, and chilling laugh that made one's stomach churn.
"Who says I don't have a fiancée?"
"Big brother, sister-in-law is so beautiful, you must take good care of yourself."
Dai Weisi's face instantly turned grim.
He grabbed Dai Mubai by the collar and landed a heavy punch on his face, leaving Dai Mubai bruised and swollen.
"What the hell do you mean?"
Dai Mubai lay there like a dead dog, no longer making a sound.
"Hmph!"
Dai Weisi snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to stomp on Dai Mubai's hand.
Dai Mubai stared at Dai Weisi's retreating back.
He silently chanted in his heart:
Xiao San, you must succeed...
...
After Dai Weisi left the restaurant.
Tang San had been following him using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
He didn't rush to make a move. He waited until Dai Weisi was far from the restaurant and had passed through a small alley where there were no pedestrians around.
"Now!"
Tang San used a unique technique from Hundred Forms of Hidden Weapons, launching a silver needle coated in deadly poison into Dai Weisi's neck, then leaving without hesitation.
This kind of filiform needle was as fine as a hair. Once it pierced the human body, it was impossible to find the needle hole, and it was very difficult to locate the needle inside the body. It was the most insidious method of assassination.
Unless one dissected the person piece by piece, using powerful Spiritual Power or even pupil techniques like Purple Demon Eyes, and spent a lot of time, there would be a chance to find the acupuncture needle.
Dai Weisi felt as if he had been bitten by a mosquito on his neck.
He reached out to swat it.
But in the next moment, his body spun wildly, and he fell straight down.
"His Highness the First Prince!"
The personal guards around him were instantly alarmed. Some rushed to support Dai Weisi and check his condition, while others frantically rushed out of the alley to search for the assassin.
But Tang San had already disappeared.
At the same time, Dai Mubai, who was returning home from the restaurant, was attacked at the same time. He cried for help on the street, which was seen by many passersby...
...
The Shrek group had all gathered, waiting for Tang San's return.
Especially Dai Mubai, who was bruised and swollen, looking disheveled. His evil eyes flickered, placing all his hopes on Tang San.
Finally, Tang San flashed in from the doorway.
"It's done!"
Dai Mubai stood up abruptly.
His head felt light and airy, as if the long-standing oppression and pain had suddenly disappeared. He burst into laughter, exclaiming happily, "Xiao San, well done!"
"You truly are my good brother!"
Dai Mubai rushed forward and gave Tang San a big bear hug.
The Shrek group also began to celebrate.
Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat and spoke:
"Alright! Don't get happy too early!"
"Mubai, if we're going to put on a show, let's go all the way!"
"Remember not to go out these next few days. Stay home and recover, and when the royal family comes to inquire, make sure not to reveal any slip-ups!"
Dai Mubai nodded excitedly.
He couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.
Truthfully, the thing he wanted to do most right now was to rush to Dai Weisi's house, see Zhu Zhuyun's panicked expression, and then revel in his petty triumph!
...
News arrived that both the First Prince and the Third Prince had been assassinated.
Zhu Zhuyun was greatly alarmed.
Sensing that things were spiraling out of control, she immediately rushed to the First Prince's palace to check on Dai Weisi's condition. Fortunately, Dai Weisi was still alive.
However, despite the best efforts of the healing system soul masters.
They were unable to stop the deterioration of his body.
If Dai Weisi wasn't a Soul King and if the Star Luo Royal Family's White Tiger Martial Soul didn't grant him a powerful physique, he would have already kicked the bucket.
Tang San had overlooked one point here.
He himself was already a Soul Emperor.
He was accustomed to using his own body's strength from when he was a Soul King to estimate Dai Weisi's physical strength. But in reality, without undergoing the Ice and Fire tempering and the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, his physique was completely incomparable to a Battle Soul Master.
Furthermore, because the Hao Zhen were so fine, the amount of deadly poison they could carry was limited.
Coupled with the fact that Dai Weisi's personal guards had measures in place to prevent assassination, and healing system soul masters provided immediate aid, they ultimately failed to seal the wound with blood.
Zhu Zhuyun saw Dai Weisi lying on his sickbed.
His face was pale, he was on his last breath, and he was unconscious.
She couldn't help but become anxious:
Dai Weisi absolutely cannot have an accident!
Her current source of power came from her identities as the eldest daughter of the Zhu family and the Grand Prince Consort. If Dai Weisi didn't make it, Zhu Zhuyun would be in an extremely passive position!
"You good-for-nothing Dai Mubai!"
Anger blazed in Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes.
She didn't need any evidence to be certain that Dai Mubai was responsible for this!
"You must save the First Prince's life!"
"Otherwise, I'll hold you all accountable!"
Zhu Zhuyun suddenly remembered the pills Lin Xiao had given her. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, she took them out and had the imperial physicians administer them to Dai Weisi before hastily leaving.
She had many things to do.
She needed to stabilize morale and investigate the truth.
But the most important thing now was to save Dai Weisi's life!
Zhu Zhuyun immediately sent a message to Lin Xiao...
...
The Extreme North.
Lin Xiao was pondering the Soul Contract.
He no longer had to worry about the consumption of Soul Power or being countered by attributes in the Extreme North.
His eighth Soul Skill, Pale Hell, as a domain skill, could continuously strip the heat from all living beings within its range, while also absorbing heat from the environment to nourish Lin Xiao.
In the extreme cold, Lin Xiao felt warm all over.
He had named this Pale Flame the Soul Spirit Cold Fire.
He was also considering that the Soul Contract's anti-betrayal mechanism could perhaps be based on the Black Sun Purifying Fire and the Soul Spirit Cold Fire. The Black Sun Purifying Fire would be used for account closure, while the Soul Spirit Cold Fire would serve as a means of punishment.
"Soul Spirits are another form of existence for Soul Beasts."
"Extracting the souls of Soul Beasts from their bodies in a special way and signing a contract with a Soul Master, allowing them to become the Soul Master's Soul Ring without being hunted."
"Electrolux created the Soul Spirit System to give Huo Yuhao powerful Soul Rings. This method of enslavement aligns perfectly with his Undead Saint Mage profession."
"Then what about my needs? I don't need the Ice Empress to become a Soul Ring, but the Ice Empress wants to become my Soul Spirit, for the sake of becoming a God and achieving eternal life..."
"Investiture of the Gods system... subordinate gods... Pokémon contracts..."
Lin Xiao allowed his thoughts to wander as much as possible.
Then he slowly retracted and concentrated again.
Gradually, the preliminary outline of an idea began to form…
…
Lin Xiao was immersed in his research.
Not even the Ice Empress and Feng Yu dared to disturb him.
His only companion was the endless wind and snow.
Naturally, it would be a miracle if Zhu Zhuyun could contact h
