The Trap Plan
Not long after Ho Chen and Yue Qi left carrying the body of Duke Li Hong, the two soldiers who had been ordered to fetch food returned with plates in their hands.Instead of accepting the food they brought, Zong Rui instructed both of them to eat it themselves.“You must be hungry after guarding all day. Go ahead, eat the food you brought!”The two soldiers frowned in confusion. But neither dared to protest, and they ended up finishing the meal completely.“Isn’t it time for the guard shift to change? Why hasn’t anyone come?” Zong Rui asked.“We don’t know, sir. Something’s felt odd since last night when the shifts were suddenly changed,” one of them replied.Zong Rui smiled. A plan began to form in his mind—a way to uncover who had ordered the physician Yong San to poison the Duke.“Continue standing guard until midnight. I’ll pay you both extra for tonight.”The chief soldier pulled four silver coins
Initial Suspicion
As soon as the three of them arrived at the palace, Zong Rui immediately led Ho Chen and Yue Qi to Duke Li Hong’s private chamber. The two guards standing at the door quickly opened it for them. Inside the room, Ho Chen felt the same strange sensation he had experienced in the treatment chamber. Without even checking on Duke Li Hong's condition, the young man commented, “No wonder his condition has worsened—someone’s entered this room.” “Is that so?” Zong Rui looked at Ho Chen in disbelief. “Uncle, try comparing the atmosphere in this room with that of the treatment chamber. Don’t you feel something similar?” Zong Rui didn’t respond right away. Instead, he walked toward the door and called the two guards inside. “Answer honestly—has anyone entered this room besides the three of us?” he asked sternly. “No, Sir. While we were on duty, no one entered,” one of the guards replied. Zong Rui frowned. To his knowledge, ever since Ho Chen and Yue Qi had left the palace, he had remained
Worsening Again
The face of the man who had just taken a chair from another table and sat down turned red when Ho Chen tried to avoid him. Still, he managed to contain his anger because the beautiful girl remained seated. "You may leave, but the girl stays!" "You can ask her yourself whether she wants to stay or not. But if I may suggest—don't disturb her while she's eating, or she might dislocate your bones," Ho Chen said, glancing toward Yue Qi. "You're talking too much! Get out of here before I beat you up!" barked the tall, burly man, glaring sharply at Ho Chen who was now standing. "Just don’t blame me if something happens to you all," Ho Chen replied as he moved to another table, a wide smile forming on his lips as he imagined what would happen to the six men after Yue Qi was done with them. "Why did you chase him away?" Yue Qi asked while still chewing her food. "We didn’t chase him—he just chickened out. But isn’t that better? Now you can join me for a meal," said the man smugly. "Com
Suggestion From King of Demon
“So I have to fight the demon myself? Then what’s your suggestion? How do I lure it out of the girl’s body?”“He won’t leave her body willingly, My Prince. You’ll have to confront him... inside her mind.”Ho Chen gently smacked his forehead. How could he possibly enter Princess Zhen Ni’s mind to fight a demon? Didn’t each person have their own physical and mental domain?“It’s difficult and dangerous, but I will teach you how to enter her mind,” said King Qiang Zu.“What’s the risk?”“If you lose the battle, you and the girl could both die. Additionally, you must not stay in her mind for too long. The girl won’t survive the strain of your power lingering inside her for too long. If that happens, she’ll die… and you’ll be trapped inside forever,” King Qiang Zu explained grimly.“Damn it... Why is there never anything that works in my favor?” Ho Chen muttered. Whatever plan the gods had for him, he believed it was ultimately for hi
The Rebellious Demon
Ho Chen didn’t respond to her words, only offered a slight smile. Then he walked toward the bed."I still have duties to attend to. While my husband is ill, I’m the one managing Gansu Province. Please, do your best to heal my daughter.""I will do my utmost, Your Grace," replied Ho Chen.The Duchess left the room. Not long after, Yong San followed her out.Ho Chen reached for Princess Zhen Ni’s wrist to check her pulse. Even though her skin resembled that of a lizard, he wasn’t disgusted by her condition. To him, she was still a human being, just like him.Suddenly, his brow furrowed. He felt something strange within her body. "Uncle, I need to meditate for a moment," he said, then stepped back and sat cross-legged on the floor.Ho Chen closed his eyes. His focus now turned inward, attempting to summon the leader of the Demon Race—King Qiang Zu. His current suspicion was that a demon had taken residence inside Princess Zhen Ni’s
Assassination Plan 2
The Rebellious DemonZong Rui stared at Ho Chen, full of questions. While Duke Li Hong was ill, it had never crossed his mind that someone might be trying to assassinate their leader."That's what we're going to find out, Uncle. But from now on, don't let anyone enter this room. Slowly, His Grace will be freed from the poison spreading through his body," Ho Chen replied."I didn’t see you do anything, yet His Grace already seems different?" the chief guard asked, clearly puzzled. He felt there were many secrets about the young man before him that he needed to uncover.Ho Chen smiled and walked toward the chair beside Yue Qi. "His Grace doesn’t need treatment right now. I just need to extract all the poison first. After that, I’ll prepare a tonic to restore his stamina."“How is he extracting poison from His Grace's body?” Zong Rui wondered to himself, scratching his head slowly.As a soldier with limited inner strength, Zong
