Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter 376: Forgetting each other in the world

Chapter 376 Forget Each Other in the Jianghu

Everyone present fell silent, not for any other reason, but because they were completely terrified by Bai Ke's actions.

Who is Huangfu Shenghua? He is the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and is deeply favored by the emperor, making him a strong candidate to become the crown prince! In broad daylight, he inexplicably died here, and no one dared to even breathe loudly.

"You... audacious... monster, how dare you plot against His Highness the Second Prince! Die!" The Second Prince's personal guards resolutely charged towards Bai Ke and roared.

This wasn't because they weren't afraid; on the contrary, they knew they were likely doomed! But this was their fate: if the Second Prince lived, they lived; if the Second Prince died, they would die too!

If they don't go now, their families might be implicated if the emperor blames them later! Even so, they might as well take the risk, at least they can protect their families.

The result is without a doubt that Bai Ke is not the kind of person who is soft-hearted!

In an instant, heads littered the ground. Blood stained the hall red, making the "double happiness" characters pasted on the walls appear even more vibrant.

"Take care of it, don't get in the way of my drinking," Bai Ke said calmly.

"Yes, young master!" Murong Zhan said, his voice trembling slightly. Although he wasn't afraid of the prince, it didn't mean he could resist an entire court. It was alright as long as Bai Ke was here; if Bai Ke left, he didn't know what to do.

“Brother Bai…” Murong Qingqing looked at Bai Ke with fear and worry, hesitating to speak.

"Hehe, it's just a small matter. Don't worry, I'll handle it." Bai Ke sat leisurely in his chair, drinking his wine, and said casually.

"You... are you also a prince?" Bai Ke asked casually.

Huangfu Lie was startled and hurriedly knelt down, trembling as he said, "Young master, please understand! I... no, I have nothing to do with him! I am his sworn enemy! Please spare my life!"

When life and death are at stake, who cares about anything else? Is there anything more important than life itself? Huangfu Lie thought to himself.

Bai Ke looked at him quietly and said, "Do you want to be the emperor?"

"Huh?" Huangfu Lie was somewhat confused and puzzled.

"Do you want to be the emperor?" Bai Ke continued, looking at him as he asked.

Huangfu Lie felt a chill run down his spine under Bai Ke's gaze, his heart pounding in his chest. After a moment's thought, he forced himself to speak loudly, "Yes!"

"Hehe, okay! I'd like to ask you to do me a small favor," Bai Ke said.

Huangfu Lie immediately replied, "I would gladly serve you, young master!"

Huangfu Lie wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was more shrewd than anyone else to have grown to his current level! He immediately seized the opportunity and said that if he could get on Bai Ke's good side, he would definitely succeed!

“Alright, I’ll help you ascend the throne, and you take care of the Murong family for me. As long as the Great Xia Dynasty still exists, the Murong family will still exist,” Bai Ke said.

Huangfu Lie made a decisive decision, seeing that this matter was entirely beneficial. He loudly proclaimed, "I, Huangfu Lie, swear to Heaven that if I ascend the throne, I guarantee that as long as the Great Xia Dynasty exists, the Murong family will surely survive!"

"Hehe, alright! Take this and swallow it." Bai Ke took out a bottle of pills from the jade wrench and tossed it to Huangfu Lie.

Although Huangfu Lie was somewhat frightened, he thought that such a person would certainly not stoop to harming her in this way, so he swallowed it directly.

Suddenly, Huangfu Lie shone with golden light, and his aura increased many times over, reaching at least the late Earth Rank! In this world, he was practically invincible.

Huangfu Lie immediately knelt down and said to Bai Ke, "Thank you, Master." This powerful aura filled him with immense excitement, but the stronger it became, the less he could sense Bai Ke's presence. This made him realize that this person was definitely an extraordinary figure!

Even dignity is not worth mentioning.

“You should know that since I can give you everything, I can naturally take everything back. I believe you are a smart man,” Bai Ke said, staring at Huangfu Lie.

Huangfu Lie knelt down and said, "I understand!" He felt as if Bai Ke was looking down on him like a god looking down on an ant, which made him feel afraid from the bottom of his heart!

"Although we're still just ants, we should be able to fulfill the promise I made to you. The rest is up to you. If your so-called father has any ideas, well, you know what I mean," Bai Ke continued.

"Rest assured, my lord, there will absolutely be no other problems," Huangfu Lie said confidently.

Huangfu Lie wielded immense power in the Great Xia Dynasty. With Huangfu Shenghua dead, he had no scruples whatsoever, not even concerning his father, the emperor!

Bai Ke nodded, then turned to look at Murong Qingqing. He waved his hands rapidly, seemingly using some kind of spiritual object to directly propel Murong Qingqing to the peak of the Earth Rank!

Murong Qingqing felt incredibly comfortable, as if a vast power was contained within her, yet she still couldn't see through Bai Ke.

Huangfu Lie was dumbfounded. To directly elevate a weak woman to the peak of the Earth Rank—what kind of skill was this! Huangfu Lie lowered his head deeply, showing even more fear and respect towards Bai Ke.

"Brother Bai, are you... leaving?" Murong Qingqing suddenly asked as if she had remembered something, tears welling up in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment.

Bai Ke smiled and said, "I've got the things, and I'm leaving now. You... take care of yourself."

"Everyone, get out of here!" Huangfu Lie shouted. The crowd quickly dispersed, eager to leave this suffocating place.

Huangfu Lie gestured to Bai Ke to step down.

Murong Qingqing sobbed uncontrollably. Murong Zhan was also heartbroken to see his daughter like this, and he held her and comforted her. He understood very well that Murong Qingqing and people like Bai Ke would never be from the same world.

He was powerless to do anything about it.

"Don't cry, Qingqing, you don't look pretty when you cry," Bai Ke said with a touch of melancholy.

Murong Qingqing wiped away her tears and forced herself to say, "Okay, Brother Bai, you must remember my most beautiful appearance!"

Murong Qingqing was truly stunning today, adorned in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, her wide-sleeved brocade gown embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. She gazed deeply at Bai Ke before her, as if she wanted to etch this man into her heart!

"Brother Bai! Am I beautiful?" Murong Qingqing asked.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Bai Ke said from the bottom of his heart.

Murong Qingqing smiled radiantly, as if melting Bai Ke's heart. Murong has a daughter whose smile could topple cities, and whose second smile could topple kingdoms.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he feared that if he stayed any longer, he would never be able to leave. Bai Ke slowly said, "I'm leaving. It's better to forget each other in the vast world than to meet again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ke took out the Returning Realm Talisman he had exchanged from the system, shattered the void, and left.

"Brother Bai! Brother Bai! I...love you!" Murong Qingqing suddenly cried out in anguish, tears streaming down her face as she collapsed to the ground. It was unclear whether the man heard her.

In the void, Bai Ke murmured to himself, "I'm sorry, Qingqing. Please forgive me for being born as a human."
