I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 555 2.1 The Crown Prince (Part Two)

"Hmph, stupid cat, calm down. Do you want to become a bald cat?" Mingxi sneered as he stood up, slashed one hand in the air, and then an unusually huge two-handed sword appeared in his hand.

He placed one foot on the chair, held a two-handed sword in one hand, and looked down at Xin Bai with an expression full of contempt.

Xin Bai, his hair standing on end, glared angrily at Ming Xi and said, "I'm a white tiger, not a cat! Get it right!!" His sharp fingertips flashed, and he was ready to pounce and tear Ming Xi to shreds at any moment.

"Have you two forgotten about me?" Ming Jin leaned against the wall, holding a lollipop stick in one hand, her lake-blue eyes scanning the person and the cat, and said quietly.

The person and the cat froze upon hearing the voice; they had truly forgotten.

"Hahaha, long time no see, Brother Jin. Why are you wearing glasses? You look even more harmless and pretentious than usual," Xin Bai said with a dry laugh, trying to flatter him.

"Pretending is a derogatory term. I suggest you learn to speak like a normal person again," Ming Jin said, giving him a cold glance.

Xin Bai's fluffy cat ears drooped down instantly, and she said with a pitiful expression, "It's too difficult, okay? It's already quite an achievement that I've learned it this well, at least I didn't add the 'meow' ending sound."

“That’s no excuse for your crown prince’s totem being a cat’s paw.” Mingxi pointed to a chair with a golden cat’s paw on the back and said disdainfully.

"This is Tiger Claw, thank you." Xin Bai said with a dark face, "Isn't Tiger Claw good enough? You can tell who it is at a glance. It's much more distinctive than yours."

"Take your Blackie, for example. It's supposed to be a white tiger, but it's naturally black. Tsk tsk, that's probably what they call growing up ugly." Mingxi clicked her tongue, shaking her head and making a show of admiration.

"This is a healthy bronze complexion, not dark skin!" Xin Bai retorted angrily. "All of you pale people look effeminate, nothing compares to my healthy bronze skin in terms of masculinity!"

Just then, a thin, handsome young man with pale skin slowly walked in. He glanced at Xin Bai with his beautiful blue-gray eyes and said emotionlessly, "Sorry, I look very effeminate."

Her long, blue-gray hair was casually draped behind her head without being tied up at all. Her delicate and beautiful face was devoid of any extra emotion. Her blue-gray eyes were fixed on the boy with cat ears. The sun totem in the center of her left eye dimmed slightly before returning to normal.

He was wearing a gray cloak, which concealed his figure, but it was still possible to clearly see that he was very thin, almost the kind of person who would fall over if pushed and blown away by the wind.

If Ming Jinmingxi is just a boy with fair skin but six-pack abs when he lifts his shirt, then Bertias is exactly the kind of effeminate girl Xin Bai described: pale-skinned, thin, and exceptionally beautiful.

Although Bertias's seemingly frail physique is actually full of power, capable of smashing through a wall with a single punch, he still appears weak at first glance, just like Mu Yegui.

“…No, I wasn’t talking about you, although you do look a bit… ummmm!” Just as Xin Bai was looking Beltias up and down and was about to tell the truth, Ming Jin chuckled and stepped forward, sticking out two fingers to pinch Xin Bai’s mouth.

He smiled and said to Bertias, "I'm sorry, our cat needs some discipline. Please don't be too angry. We'll pluck all the fur off his tail to teach him a lesson later."

Bertias: "..." Plucking hair as a form of education, huh? That's hardcore.

Bertias possesses the bloodline of an ancient mermaid. Although the initial experiment was unsuccessful, he at least possesses a half-mermaid body, while Xin Bai is a pure-blooded white tiger.

Theoretically speaking, these two are natural enemies; it seems unlikely that a cat and a fish could coexist peacefully. Bertias walked to a chair with the sun and moon carved on its back and sat down. She looked up at Ming Jin, who was chuckling as she tugged at Xin Bai's ruffled tail. Her lake-blue eyes held no murderous intent, only a gentle smile, yet strangely gave off a chilling aura.

He reached up and rubbed his forehead. As expected of the renowned Forpers, despite being the youngest of the crown princes, his mind was exceptionally delicate and unfathomable.

"Aww—stop pulling! Stop pulling! It's going to fall off! My tail! Meow!!!" Xin Bai yelled, grabbing his tail, looking like a pitiful little bullied creature.

Mingxi rested her chin on her hand, leisurely watching Xin Bai being bullied, and asked as she watched, "Have you admitted your mistake? Still being so mean?"

"Meow!! I will not yield to evil forces! If you're so tough, don't pull my tail!" Xin Bai glared fiercely at the two of them and roared.

"Well, you're getting bolder and bolder. Where have you been gallivanting off to?" Mingxi sneered, looking disdainful.

"Mind your own business!" Xin Bai pulled back his tail, his eyes red with heartache as he blew on his half-bald tail, before replying fiercely.

"Go sit over there." Ming Jin casually unwrapped a candy and stuffed it into Xin Bai's mouth, then pointed to the chair with the tiger claw mark on it and said indifferently.

Xin Bai crunched on the candy at the corner of her mouth fiercely, but still obediently sat back down in her chair.

This is the legendary situation where even if you've given in your heart, you'll never admit it verbally.

Mingjin turned to Bertias and explained, "You absolutely can't treat this cat gently, otherwise it will only become more unruly. Only when it suffers will it behave."

"I'll definitely complain to Boss Mu later!" Xin Bai said, his eyes red and his expression showing no sign of yielding to evil forces.

"MoMo is a fan of both looks and fur. With your bald tail, I don't think she'd be interested in either of you. Do you think she'd stand by you?" Ming Jin chuckled as she looked at Xin Bai, casually patting the fur on her hand, making her handsome and refined face even more attractive.

"Mingjin, you scheming bitch!" Xin Bai said through gritted teeth.

They actually had this idea!! Judging by looks alone, Mu Yegui would never have considered choosing Ming Jin. He originally had a chance of winning, but unfortunately, she was plucked and became ugly.

Aaaaaah! He's going to kill that scheming bitch Ming Jin!!
“You can curse a few more times, and I can make you even balder, and you can forget about the hair on your ears too.” Ming Jin said with a light laugh as she glanced at the pair of fluffy cat ears with her lake-blue eyes. Her tone was gentle, as if she was negotiating with him, but in reality, it was a threat.

“Brother, bald cats aren’t favored. Ming Jin is much scarier than me. You’ve learned your lesson the hard way. If you offend me, I’ll at most beat you up, but if you offend him, you’ll be using hair growth serum every day.” Ming Xi patted Xin Bai’s shoulder, looking at him with sympathy.

A detailed description of all the crown princes except Mu Yin will make the story quite long, but it will help you recognize the characters and understand the relationships between them.

The relationships between these 22 people are actually extremely complex, and the relationship diagram would be incredibly messy. But this is the only chance to clarify them, and I won't go into detail about it again. This is the only time.
