The tyrannical father was so intimidated when his own daughter was found during the raid.

Any normal emperor would probably be paralyzed on the ground by now, pale as a ghost, urgently summoning the imperial guards to protect him.

But Su Zhen is not normal.

The tyrant of the Great Abyss Kingdom calmly got up and straightened the wrinkles on his clothes.

Touching his smooth chin, an indescribable excitement flashed in his deep eyes.

Bomb the Taiji Palace flat?

Now these civil officials who are constantly causing me headaches in court can finally have a new environment?

Su Zhen looked with interest at the Crown Prince, who was doing the splits on the ground, and then at Su Yaoyao, who was calmly standing by the bed.

"Ten cartloads of gunpowder, that's quite a lot."

Su Zhen spoke calmly, his voice low and steady.

"If it explodes in the main hall, at least half of the palace will collapse."

He turned his head and looked at Su Yaoyao, his eyes questioning.

Upon hearing that there were ten truckloads of gunpowder, Su Yaoyao's whole body stiffened.

Her bright, almond-shaped eyes, as if they had tiny light bulbs installed, shone with a greedy light.

Holy crap! Ten truckloads of gunpowder?!

Did I hear that right? It's like someone's just bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy!

Su Yaoyao screamed wildly in her mind, her abacus beads sparking as she frantically manipulated them in her head.

I'm so worried about how slow the old-fashioned steelmaking methods are; we still haven't figured out how to get the gunpowder and propellant for the Gatling gun!

[These villains are really something, wow, so thoughtful.]

If I could get my hands on all ten truckloads of gunpowder, wouldn't I have enough raw materials to build a hand-cranked Gatling gun?!

"Then I won't just have one gun anymore; I can assemble a mobile artillery position!"

[Don't even mention a Taiji Hall; even if you blew up the city wall, it would be a piece of cake!]

Hearing Su Yaoyao's exciting battle plan, Su Zhen's smile deepened.

Even his usually cold eyes and brows showed a hint of...

The old father's satisfaction.

My dear daughter, you have such lofty aspirations!

This is a divinely bestowed military equipment package; refusing it will bring you divine retribution.

Su Zhen strode over to Su Jin, who was still doing the splits, and looked down at him.

"You heard it too."

"Since they've prepared so many good things, wouldn't it be a waste of their good intentions if we, as the hosts, didn't go and inspect them?"

Su Jin knelt on the ground, questioning the meaning of life.

Look at those pink fluorescent hands, and then look at this father and daughter who don't play by the rules.

He wondered if he was still half asleep or if the poison had damaged his brain.

Is this how a family should react?

This is treason!

It's a crime of exterminating an entire clan!

Why are you all so excited?

"No... Father, sister..."

Su Jin frantically grabbed his hair, his cold voice weak and powerless.

"That's ten cartloads of gunpowder, mixed with lots of flammable arrows and grease!"

"If it explodes, not only the palace, but half of the capital will be affected!"

Su Yaoyao had no time to pay attention to her naive older brother.

She jumped off the bed, barefoot, and ran to Su Jin.

He reached out and patted Su Jin's shoulder, which was stiff with embarrassment.

"Brother, your perspective is too narrow."

Su Yaoyao shook her head seriously, her mature demeanor making Su Jin's eyes twitch.

"The most important thing in life is to have a broad perspective."

"They're planning to bomb us; that's like sending us materials."

"We should not only accept everything they have, but also teach them how to be human."

Su Yaoyao turned to look at Su Zhen, and the two exchanged a glance.

Their eyes are exactly the same.

The excitement and greed of a predator.

The father and daughter reached an unspoken understanding.

It is extremely good.

Su Yaoyao turned around and gave her silly older brother a bright smile.

"Brother, instead of staying here looking so miserable, why don't we go rob some highwaymen together!"

"Don't worry, as long as you follow my sister, you'll be dazzled by all sorts of things, from gunpowder and steel to rare ores."

"Moreover, I have quite a few good things in my lab."

"Powder that makes you dance, candy that makes you tell the truth, and incense that makes you repeat yourself—guaranteed to give you daily stimulation!"

Su Jin's lips twitched even more violently.

Follow her?

Testing for poison every day?

He looked at Su Yaoyao's exquisitely beautiful and extremely cute face, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

He's a psychopath! A killer! A living devil!

He's not a guinea pig!

He wanted to refuse; he wanted to maintain his last bit of stubbornness.

But when she met Su Zhen's warning gaze, Su Yaoyao looked at him expectantly.

Su Jin lowered his head with tears in his eyes, his voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.

"……good."

When her brother agreed, Su Yaoyao smiled brightly.

He rushed back under the bed and frantically rummaged through a pile of clutter.

Soon, Su Yaoyao pulled out two sets of shiny black night clothes.

Both outfits are made of excellent material.

It has a faint, cool sheen that is both anti-slip and anti-static.

Su Yaoyao threw the oversized night clothes at Su Jin's face, which was glowing pink.

"Put it on."

She gave the order with a crisp and decisive tone.

Su Jin took the clothes, his eyes, glowing with Barbie pink fluorescent light, staring at the night clothes in his hand.

Dignity, already shattered into pieces, let out its final lament.

"Change clothes?!"

Su Jin held the night clothes.

"Little sister, open your eyes and look at me!"

"I'm glowing from head to toe!"

"It's no use wearing any night clothes!"

Su Jin was so angry he almost laughed.

If he were to run away, all the rats within a ten-mile radius would be forced into early hibernation by his presence.

Su Yaoyao looked at Su Jin's near-collapse and a mischievous smile flashed in her eyes.

He slowly bent down and pulled out an incredibly thick black burlap sack from under the bed.

They also stuffed thick, specially made insulating cloth into the sack to block out the light.

"Since it's glowing, then cover it up."

Su Yaoyao remained expressionless and placed the huge black sack over Su Jin's head.

I kindly adjusted the two eye holes I had made for him.

"It's okay, no one will be able to see you once you put a burlap sack over your head."

"As long as you don't speak, no one will know who you are."

Su Jin looked at the dark, musty-smelling sack in front of him.

Deep inside, I heard a sound of something breaking.

That's called dignity.

That's called royal dignity.

He, the dignified Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, actually had to carry a tattered sack on his head one day.

Su Yaoyao didn't give Su Jin time to refuse. She put on her night clothes and tucked a homemade grenade into her waistband.

"Stop dawdling, my dear brother."

Then, a handcart was pulled out from under the bed, neatly stacked with all sorts of bizarre equipment.

"Our target tonight is Black Wind Stronghold, which is known for its impregnable defenses."

"If you go too late, all the gunpowder will have been taken away."

"At that point, not only will you not get any credit, but you won't even have the chance to assist me!"

Su Yaoyao skillfully pushed the handcart and strode towards the door.

He left Su Jin with a resolute back view.

Su Jin took a deep breath, even though he really wanted to smash his head against a wall and die right now.

They could only resign themselves to their fate and tug at the black sack above their heads.

He staggered to his feet, his pink glow following him like a shadow in the darkness.

"Tonight... target Black Wind Stronghold..."

Su Jin muttered to himself, his voice filled with deep helplessness and despair.

Lift the leg that was still doing the moonwalk.

One step, two steps, slide, turn.

Wearing dazzling Barbie pink, she stepped resolutely into the howling wind and dark night.

Outside the main hall, the wind continued to howl.

Countless withered branches swayed wildly in the wind, emitting a series of chilling friction sounds.

Su Yaoyao pushed the cart at the front, her steps light and quick, as if she were going on a spring outing.

Su Jin followed behind, struggling with his uncontrollable body with every step.

Bathed in pink light, it resembled a moving galaxy in the darkness.

Su Yaoyao pushed the cart and waved to the light bulb-like older brother behind her without turning her head.

"Set off!"
