Gao Wu: You broke off the engagement at my 100th birthday banquet, do you dare take my punch?

Qin Changsheng tried many methods, but he could not find a way to obtain the Seed of Life without alerting the King of Li.

He could sense the mark of the King, which was closely related to Yang Yuwei's life.

This mark will be triggered as long as Yang Yuwei's vital signs weaken.

He even suspected that the mark might contain a portion of the King's power.

"Speaking of which, why does the Prince of Li dote on you so much?"

Qin Changsheng couldn't think of a way to break the mark of the King of Li in a short time, so he wasn't in a hurry and just stood there chatting with Yang Yuwei.

Yang Yuwei felt a little helpless, but she was willing to talk as long as someone was there to chat with her.

"I don't know, maybe it's because people become obsessed with what they can't have."

"Most other women go along with his wishes, but I don't care about him."

"Others crave wealth, power, and strength, but I crave only death."

"He can't do anything to me."

"What others crave as immortality is a torment to me; he probably just wants to torment me."

Yang Yuwei said a lot of things in bits and pieces.

Qin Changsheng listened to it as just a story.

He has his own judgment on whether the content is true or not.

"So, besides the King of Li, everyone wants you dead?"

Qin Changsheng knew very well how to extract the essence.

He summarized Yang Yuwei's current situation in a simple sentence.

"...No, there's someone who doesn't want me to die, and that's my child."

Yang Yuwei's expression was complicated.

"I don't want to admit that it's my child, because it's a testament to the defilement of me by the King, and it disgusts me."

"But that's my bloodline after all, I can't lay a hand on an innocent child."

"From a young age, I taught her about human knowledge and traditions, and instilled in her the hatred that humans have for all other races."

"I want to see her live on as a human."

"I even hope that she can leave here as a human and return to human territory."

Qin Changsheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Yang Yuwei's life can be described as full of hardships and misfortunes.

Ever since he was captured by the King of Li, nothing has gone smoothly for him.

Even death is not in their own hands.

The more she resisted, the more the Prince cared about Yang Yuwei.

"I can now destroy the mark of the King and extract the Seed of Life."

"But I'm not ready to face the King yet, so you'll have to wait a little longer."

The marks left by the king are not complicated.

Moreover, Qin Changsheng's goal was only to destroy the mark, not to break it.

Whether he uses his own strength or the power of his bloodline, he can forcibly destroy the mark.

The problem is, he is not yet ready to face the King of Li.

Li Wang is at least an eighth-rank official.

It could even be a ninth-rank official.

He currently possesses the strength of a fifth-rank official.

Going to face the eighth-rank Prince Li is nothing short of courting death.

"It doesn't matter. I've waited all these years, so a little more time won't make a difference."

"What information can you provide me?"

Qin Changsheng's emotions remained stable.

"no."

"The King of Li is not one to easily reveal his weaknesses."

"Not to mention me, even his parents probably don't know his secret."

Yang Yuwei remained calm and shook her head.

Qin Changsheng couldn't help but frown.

The king's caution was not unexpected.

But he didn't expect it.

Even the closest people don't know each other's weaknesses.

If Yang Yuwei doesn't know, who else would?

"What's the deal with that Ruth?"

Qin Changsheng asked again.

Yang Yuwei thought for a moment before saying, "Ruth... has impure intentions. She entered the Li Prince's mansion with the sole aim of becoming the Li Prince's consort, and even wanted to replace the Li Prince."

"I heard that she is quite capable and knows how to please the Prince of Li, who trusts her very much."

"It's just that, as outsiders, the other members of the Blood God Clan don't have much affection for Ruth."

"Oh right, she seems to have always wanted to kill me, but unfortunately she doesn't have the ability."

Yang Yuwei's smile turned sarcastic as she finished speaking.

Yang Yuwei's words didn't give Qin Changsheng much information.

As for the so-called considerable strength, Qin Changsheng had already sensed it.

It's definitely not weak.

For a concubine to have such power is not easy.

But it shouldn't cause him much trouble.

The problem facing Qin Changsheng now is how to deal with the troublesome Prince Li.

Whether you mess with Ruth or Yang Yuwei, you'll provoke Prince Li.

"You don't need to worry about the King for now."

"While I can't help you deal with him, I can offer you a method."

Yang Yuwei seemed to remember something and suddenly said.

"Huh? What method?"

Qin Changsheng was somewhat puzzled.

She was just saying that there was no weakness in the King.

Now they're saying they can help him deal with King Li.

What's going on with this inconsistency?

"As you know, the Prince of Li will be taking a concubine in the next few days, which also happens to be his birthday. It's a double celebration."

"So for several days, the king would stay by his new concubine's side."

"The new concubine is located at the innermost part of the Prince's residence, quite a distance from here."

"If you choose the right time, you might be able to buy yourself the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Yang Yuwei didn't explain it very clearly.

But Qin Changsheng understood.

They just want to cause trouble while the king is handling matters.

It's all about timing.

"I see...that's fine."

"One more question, how long has it been since the king's arrival?"

Qin Changsheng needed more detailed information.

What if Li Wang is just a three-second man?

He probably barely made a move before the Prince of Li appeared before him, all all pulled up.

"...enough for you to kill me and Ruth and then escape."

Yang Yuwei didn't want to discuss this topic.

Discussing this kind of topic with a man always made her feel strange.

Even now, when she is heartbroken and indifferent to everything.

"...I hope so."

Qin Changsheng also understood that his question was somewhat presumptuous.

Yang Yuwei didn't want to talk about it, so he could only hope that what she said was true.

"Tonight is the time to make our move."

"These next few days, you can move around carefully within the palace and choose the opportunity to make your move."

After Yang Yuwei finished speaking, she said no more and gestured for Qin Changsheng to leave.

If Qin Changsheng, a man, were to be discovered in his own room, it would only lead to more complications.

She didn't care about any of that; in fact, she was even hoping that once she was discovered, the king would slap her to death.

But she didn't want to kill Qin Changsheng.

Qin Changsheng nodded and turned to leave the room.

For the next half day...

Qin Changsheng concealed himself and searched around the Prince's mansion.

As the Prince's Mansion became increasingly lively.

He was able to go to more and more places.

soon.

into the night.

Many of the guests who came to visit the Prince Li's residence have already settled into their rooms.

of course.

These guests can only stay in the front yard.

The backyard was full of the king's female relatives.

Qin Changsheng walked around for a while and found that there wasn't much to see, so he came back.

He stayed near Ruth and Yang Yuwei's room, waiting for his chance.

After nightfall.

Qin Changsheng didn't know how much time had passed.

He finally received Yang Yuwei's signal.

"We can finally get started."
