Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 201

"Isn’t this a pure chance?" The servant immediately started crying: "Second Prince Consort, please save my young master! He’s been taken!"

"Thank you for your gift~" Yan Luan instantly let go of the servant and reached out to hug the Second Prince’s neck.

The Second Prince immediately shrank his neck and dodged back: "Don’t do that, be serious, if our brother is the one who captured him, the consequences will be severe!"

Yan Luan seemed to snort at his words, and in that instant, her once charming and soft beauty seemed to transform into a stern older woman, the kind that demands a serious black chalkboard as a backdrop.

But it was only a moment before she returned to her original state: "Really can’t do anything about it~"

"For your mother’s sake, I’ll have to crack some heads."

The Second Prince pretended not to hear, maintaining a smile.

His princess consort was practically picked up from the streets. To not fear ridicule, he was the son of a concubine who died during childbirth and was casually tossed into the Empress’s palace. A few years later, the Empress bore the Fifth Prince, and he, never valued, was completely neglected. When he reached marrying age, well, the Empress passed away, the Emperor fell ill, and the brothers began to fight.

So, he decided to go out on his own for a bit, thinking about visiting a brothel, since people talked about them being quite fun. As soon as he went, he witnessed a madam pleading with a girl to leave while even paying her to free herself. He curiously moved closer to watch the drama, and things developed to today!

It happened when everyone had no time to bother with a prince of his insignificance, otherwise, Yan Luan would barely qualify even as a concubine, let alone his main wife.

The Second Prince followed sheepishly behind Yan Luan, heading towards the place the servant mentioned.

Huo Lian wasn’t used to the darkness and didn’t know how to react momentarily until he heard two "swish" sounds, quickly dodging to barely avoid them.

"Young master, save me!" Qixi’s voice came from one direction.

Huo Lian took a few steps toward that direction, but suddenly retreated rapidly, clearly having dodged something.

Qixi would never call for him to save him. Servants like Qixi, when faced with danger, would rather sacrifice themselves.

Recalling the enemy’s attack style, there seemed to be some limits. What kind of situation would restrict their attack method?

Could it be... the enveloping darkness wasn’t targeting him alone?

Elsewhere, the Fifth Prince sipped his tea leisurely.

"Now that Qin Xuan has lost Huo Lian as his right hand, I suppose he won’t want to meddle in the affairs of us legitimate princes?" said the Fifth Prince arrogantly, even unwilling to call the Second Prince his brother.

The Second Prince’s mother’s status was low, posthumously promoted to consort only after her difficult childbirth and death. Most princes hardly respected the Second Prince, nearly ignoring him completely.

Yet, somehow over the years, he managed to get involved with Huo Lian, the Huo Family’s future heir. It was such a good resource delivered to him without any effort.

The most crucial point is, given the Second Prince’s status, he had no chance of competing for that position. The Huo Family’s resources were wasted on him, envied and pitied by all.

Huo Su, the Huo Family’s third young master, sat lower than the Fifth Prince, holding his tea but with no mind to drink. His incessantly bouncing leg revealed his anxiety.

As long as Huo Lian fell into the trap, he would become the rightful heir...
