"Wang Xu, I'll fight you to the death!" Fueled by rage, Meteorite became impulsive. In an instant, he drew a curved blade and slashed fiercely at Wang Xu.

However, the moment the meteorite drew its blade, Wang Xu's gun suddenly fired. Seeing the meteorite's blade still raised in mid-air, Wang Xu immediately pressed the gun firmly against its head, sneering, "Slash, slash some more. No matter how high your martial arts are, can you outrun my bullet? Besides, you're only a mid-level martial arts master. I'm already a god-level expert. Even if we fight one-on-one, are you my match?"

"Wang Xu, the innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty. Your arrogant and reckless behavior will surely be punished." Wang Xu warned him with a gunshot. With Wang Xu pressing his gun firmly against his head, Meteorite finally dared not make any rash moves.

"Your Highness, I'm only doing this for your safety. Please forgive any offense I may have caused." After ordering the meteorite and his men to be apprehended, Wang Xu waved a pistol in front of me with a smile.

"Hehe. You're only doing this for my own good, why should I hold it against you?" I smiled, already thinking about how to teach Wang Xu a lesson.

"Come here, take the young master back to the base to rest. Protect him carefully; you absolutely cannot let him leave our base." With a wave of his pistol, Wang Xu's men immediately grabbed my arms. "Young master, we've offended you..."

It was obvious that I had been placed under house arrest as soon as I returned to the Wang family, just like Wang Che, Wang Huan, Wang You, and Liu Li. According to the plan of Wang Yuebai and his son, my return home would likely lead to my impeachment for a very minor reason, resulting in my removal from office and the installation of Wang Yu as the heir apparent.

This Wang Xu is incredibly audacious; he actually dared to point a gun at me and even took down a meteorite right in front of me. But what he said made sense, and I couldn't very well attack him. Besides, he's a lackey of that old scoundrel Wang Yuebai, and his men are all innocent. If I were to use force against him, I fear I might harm innocent brothers of my Wang family. And if he then suspects I'm an imposter and hunts me down, that would be disastrous.

However, when it comes to playing mind games with me, he's probably no match for me. I grew up in an ordinary family, and due to a broken heart meridian, I'm weak and sickly. Every boy is stronger than me; I couldn't even beat Zhang Xuan before. If I didn't have some survival skills of my own, I probably wouldn't be alive today.

With a smile, I mentally made a mental note of this debt against Wang Xu.

That night, I secretly appeared in the room where Meteorite was being held. Seeing me suddenly appear in his room, Meteorite looked at me in surprise and said, "Your movements are invisible, you come without a trace. Young Master, you've actually become a god-level expert?"

“Tell me, were Di Huo and the others also impeached?” I asked.

“Yes, the four hall masters and Mount Everest were impeached as soon as they returned home. Their crimes were failing to protect the young master and corrupting him with his cronies. They were stripped of their hall master positions and placed under house arrest by Wang Yuebai and his son. Only Miss An was truly innocent, and because her mother was very powerful, Wang Yuebai and his son never dared to do anything to her.” Meteorite’s eyes dimmed.

"Okay, I understand." With a smile, I quickly disappeared from the meteorite's sight.

Back in my room, I took off my coat and threw it on the bed. Then, glancing at the hard bed frame, I said coldly, "Wang Xu actually dared to play tricks on me. Let's see how I deal with this bastard."

"Brother Xi, I believe you, but don't make things too difficult for Wang Xu, otherwise Wang Yuebai and his son will have an excuse to impeach you," Xi'er said to me.

"It's alright. When it comes to scheming, they're probably no match for me. Heh, actually, scheming is what I'm best at. When it comes to scheming, I don't believe anyone can rival me..." I sneered.

"Brother Xi, I think I'm pregnant..." Xi'er's face turned slightly pale as she covered her mouth and looked at me earnestly.

"What!?" Upon hearing Xi'er's words, I stared wide-eyed, as if struck by lightning...

Chapter 281 Wang Xu's Scheme to Sow Discord

I stared at Xi'er for a long time, my heart gradually filled with an indescribable emotion. It was joy, excitement, and the responsibility of becoming a father. Because of my special status, I got married earlier than most people. But I never expected that after only one month of trying, Xi'er would be pregnant with my son.

I stared intently at Xi'er for a long time, then suddenly reached out and carefully touched her flat stomach. Next, I hugged Xi'er tightly and cried, "So fast, I'm not ready to be a father..."

"Me too, I'm so scared." Xi'er couldn't help but cry, looking at me with a wronged expression.

I never expected Xi'er to get pregnant so quickly, which filled me with mixed emotions. Then, I kissed Xi'er several more times, and looked at her earnestly, saying, "If you're pregnant, then have the baby. We're practically married now; the wedding at the Wang family is just a formality. Have the baby, and I will love you even more and cherish you with my life. And our child, I will love him/her dearly."

Then, I couldn't help but think of Xi'er's recent behavior. No wonder Xi'er hadn't had much of an appetite lately and kept gagging. It turned out that she was pregnant with something. It was telling her in another way that it was ready to come into this world and join us.

I'm so happy, my heart is filled with joy. That night, all the anger I felt towards Wang Xu vanished. Now, I don't care about anything else. I just want to cherish my wife and our future son.

"Honey, why can't I hear him moving?" Lying next to Xi'er, I pressed my ear against her snow-white belly and asked cautiously. I really wasn't prepared to be a father at all. I could only learn from some fathers I'd seen and cherish our soon-to-be-born baby in my heart.

"I don't know, I don't know if I'm really pregnant. I just have a strong feeling that I might actually be pregnant," Xi'er told me.

"Tomorrow, I'll go buy some things to test it. I hope it's true, that you really are pregnant with my little dragon." As I said this, I got excited again and almost cried.

"Yes, it would be best if it were really true. That way you wouldn't have to torture me anymore. You're too amazing, I'm no match for you at all." Xi'er blushed and gently pinched me, looking aggrieved.

"Haha, who told you to be so attractive?" I laughed and gave Xi'er a few more light kisses.

However, after she said that, I really started to think about it. But I'm afraid that if she really is pregnant with my child, even if I really want to, I won't dare to bully her anymore.

It's been about a month and a half since Xi'er and I got married. For the first week we were together, we were practically inseparable. Because of my martial arts training, my body is exceptionally strong. We did it many times a day without any protection; Xi'er must be pregnant.

The next day, as soon as it was light, I couldn't wait to go out and buy some things to test. However, just as I was about to step out of the courtyard, two experts from the Wang family ran up to me and asked, "Young Master, where are you going?"

"Let's go for a stroll in the streets," I said to the two of them with a smile, in a good mood.

"Young Master, please wait a moment while we inform Vice Hall Master Wang Xu. Once he approves, we will protect you as you go out into the street," said two experts from the Wang family.

"Alright, hurry up and go." I thought to myself, this Wang Xu actually dared to show off to me, just you wait. I'm in a good mood right now, I'll teach him a lesson later.

However, two minutes later, the Wang family expert who had gone to inquire with Wang Xu immediately ran back and said, "Young Master, Deputy Hall Master Wang Xu forbids you from going out on the street."

"What? He doesn't allow me to go out on the street?" I was slightly taken aback when I heard what the expert from the Wang family said.

“Yes, he forbids you from going out.” The Wang family expert nodded.

Seeing Wang Xu showing off to me is one thing, but he actually forbids me from going out on the street. Damn it, even when I was at Zhang Xuan's house, that awful aunt of mine never told me I couldn't go out on the street, did she?

In an instant, a cold look appeared on my face. "Heh, what a piece of shit is he?" After saying that, I walked straight out of the Wang family's stronghold courtyard.

Although the two experts from the Wang family were Wang Xu's men, they were still quite respectful to me. They were just following orders, and they panicked as soon as they saw that I ignored Wang Xu.

After I had walked more than a hundred meters, I felt the aura of a powerful figure approaching from behind. Then I saw a figure flash before my eyes, and Wang Xu had already appeared in front of me.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Wang Xu asked me coldly.

"What's it to you?" I sneered, lighting a cigarette.

“Yes, your safety is closely related to mine. If anything happens to you, Wang Xu will definitely be punished when he returns home. Moreover, you have not yet proven yourself to be the heir, and there are still some doubts about your identity. Please come home with me, and Miss An will be responsible for your safety after she comes to pick you up. I will no longer care about you,” Wang Xu said coldly.

"Heh, get out of my way!" I had no liking for Wang Xu at all, and seeing that he dared to interfere with me, I was instantly furious.

"Your Highness, please don't force me!" Wang Xu suddenly pulled out a pistol. His men hesitated for a moment, then also drew their pistols and pointed them at me.

Even with superior martial arts skills, we are no match for pistols. Seeing Wang Xu and his men pointing over a dozen pistols at me, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"You're ruthless!" After saying that, I walked back to the location of the stronghold.

"Hehe, that's right. Once it's confirmed that you are the heir apparent, I will definitely treat you with utmost respect." Wang Xu laughed.

The Crown Prince's token has already been given to him; it's clearly genuine. And without An Yao's guidance, how could I have possibly found the Wang family's secret stronghold in this county?

Even if I were the real deal, Wang Xu wouldn't respect me. Because he has the old scoundrel Wang Yuebai backing him up, he knows I'm about to be crippled by Wang Yuebai, so he doesn't take me seriously at all.

Now Wang Xu says he's protecting me for my own good, and if I confront him directly, it would seem unreasonable. I don't believe he dares to kill me, but if we clash, there will definitely be casualties. If he uses this as an excuse to attack me with my Wang family's troops, then I'll have fallen into Wang Yuebai's trap.

I'll put up with it for now. I'll deal with him properly later.

However, Xi'er is already pregnant with my dragon child, and Xi'er and I are eagerly waiting to find out if it's true. This Wang Xu won't even let me go to the pharmacy, which is really infuriating.

Knowing that my conflict with Wang Xu was not a good thing, Xi'er thought for a moment and said to me, "Brother Xi, we didn't spend much money on the way here. Besides feeding the king snake, we also gave some lodging fees to some poor families along the way, so we probably still have about two million. I heard that although the Wang family is rich, their children don't have much pocket money. Why don't you take the two million we have left and give it to Wang Xu? He will definitely let you go to the pharmacy to buy things."

"That's a good idea." After hearing Xi'er's words, I nodded and went to find Wang Xu.

Who doesn't love money? Even if Wang Xu is the deputy head of the Illusion Hall, one of the ten martial arts halls of the Wang family, I believe I could sway him with two million.

However, as soon as I handed over the two million to Wang Xu, a despicable smile immediately appeared on Wang Xu's face. "Young Master, are you bribing me?"

"Hehe, it's just a small token. You should know that two million is nothing to me. If I, a dignified heir, were to give less than two million, it would seem rather stingy." I lit a cigarette and smiled.

“Alright, I’ll accept the two million, but I still won’t let you leave the house,” Wang Xu said.

"Why?" I asked.

“Because I will hand over these two million to Elder Wang Yuebai as evidence of your misconduct and bribery.” Gradually, Wang Xu looked at me with a smug smile.

"Fuck you!" After hearing Wang Xu's words, I wanted nothing more than to rush up and beat him up.

"Oh dear, our esteemed young master is actually swearing like a hooligan. I've noted that down, and I'll report it to Elder Wang Yuebai as well," Wang Xu said.

People were already furious, but Wang Xu remained unfazed. After thinking for a moment, I pointed a finger at Wang Xu and said viciously, "You son of a bitch, you just wait!"

“I’ve also remembered those words about threatening the Wang family’s children,” Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Fuck you to death!" Still not satisfied, I cursed again before leaving Wang Xu's room.

Back in our room, Xi'er and I were both a little worried. This Wang Xu, relying on Wang Yuebai and his son's backing, was completely unyielding, like a stubborn mule. I didn't want to skin Wang Yuebai and his son alive anymore; I just wanted to break Wang Xu's legs right now.

“That Wang Xu is so hateful. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a hateful person!” Xi’er said.

That evening, Xi'er and I soon discovered another serious problem. Wang Xu wouldn't let me buy anything, wouldn't let me experience the joy of becoming a father as soon as possible. I could tolerate it, because An Yao would be coming to pick me up the next day. Once we were back at our Wang family home, a doctor would naturally examine Xi'er.

But my king cobra is starting to feel the hunger. It went hungry all day yesterday and another day today, and it's starting to feel the strain. It's like a little child; it gets hungry and wants to eat a lot. If it doesn't eat for two days, it will go looking for food on its own. But if it can't find food, it will attack livestock kept by people, and even eat people.

Sitting in the room with Xi'er, we could already feel gusts of cold wind. The king cobra was hungry; it had actually tracked down our hideout by my scent. It wanted to talk to me, saying that if I didn't feed it soon, it would find something to eat itself, and if it ate someone, I shouldn't blame it.

Seeing that the king cobra was hungry, I was very anxious. So I took out my jade flute and communicated with it, telling the king cobra across the Wang family compound, "Hold on for another half night, and I'll reward you with a big meal tonight!"

The king cobra couldn't speak, but it could understand me. After hearing my flute, it quickly retreated.

Snakes are complex animals. They hibernate in winter and can go without eating for the entire winter. But in summer, they will suffer greatly from hunger if they don't eat for just two days.

Sigh, my king cobra has been starving for two days. Even I would probably not be able to stand being hungry for two whole days.

Many people say that the king cobra is my pet, but in my heart, it's no different from my own younger brothers and sisters. I even love it more because it's so unintelligent; besides eating and protecting me, it can't do anything else. My younger siblings can take care of themselves, but it's my responsibility to care for it. I brought it from its home in Changbai Mountain to this Golden Triangle, and I must take good care of it.

"Wang Xu, I was wrong, I apologize to you." Urged by Wang She, I finally couldn't help but go to Wang Xu's room again.

"What did you say?" Wang Xu looked at me as if I were a monster.

“I shouldn’t have cursed you during the day, and I shouldn’t have ignored your words. I was wrong, and I apologize. You can give Wang Yuebai the evidence of my cursing. But can you let me out? I have important business to attend to, very important business,” I said.

"Your Highness, you actually apologize to me? Wang Xu can't accept that. You'd better leave now..." Upon hearing my words, Wang Xu immediately smiled.

"Wang Xu, I sincerely apologize to you. Please let me out; I really have something important to do!" I said.

"Hehe, what is it that's so important? Can you tell me?" Wang Xu asked me.

"This..." The thought of the King Serpent outside made me hesitate. Because Wang Xu was wicked, if I told the truth he might harm my King Serpent. Hesitantly, I simply looked intently at Wang Xu without speaking.

"If you're unwilling to talk about it, then forget it," Wang Xu smiled.

"What if I were planning to go out and find a prostitute? I've heard there are quite a few prostitutes here, and some of them are quite attractive. Would you let me go out?" After thinking for a moment, I asked Wang Xu.

"..." After hearing what I said, Wang Xu's gaze towards me became strange.

When I saw Wang Xu's strange look, a lewd smile immediately appeared on my face. Then I took another step closer to Wang Xu, looked around, and whispered, "Brother Xu, how about I tell you a secret? Actually, that young master of the Ye family has a terrible temper. I'm only interested in her family's power; I have absolutely no interest in her. But I'm the heir of the Wang family! Back in the north, I was used to having my way with women. Damn it, I'm getting restless these past few days without playing with women. I beg you, let me out so I can have some fun. We're both brothers in the Wang family; you're a true friend. Once I return to the Wang family and become the head of the family, I promise I won't mistreat you."

"Your Highness, I never expected you to be such a despicable person. Go back now, I, Wang Xu, will not allow you to go out and seek pleasure with women." Hearing my plea, Wang Xu suddenly became stern.

"Fuck you! You're so stubborn!" I was furious that you wouldn't let me out even after all that.

"Heh, Your Highness, I will tell Elder Wang Yuebai everything you said today," Wang Xu sneered.

"Tell me, you son of a bitch." I cursed again, then angrily turned and walked outside.

However, just as I was about to leave Wang Xu's room, Wang Xu suddenly called out to me, "Young Master, are you really going out to find a woman?"

"Fuck you! I've told you such a shameful thing, don't you trust me?" I cursed.

“That’s true…” Wang Xu said, his eyes darting around after hearing my words.

"Young Master Xi'er, the young master has just left." A gust of cold wind swept in, and Wang Xu suddenly appeared in the room where Xi'er and I were.
