Chapter 457: Chapter 459: Feeding the Shark

“`

“When your bones are crushed and your ashes scattered, do you think your Princely Heir status will be of any use?” Zhu Minglang just laughed.

Had it not been for the Zhu Gate’s obligation to give the Royal Family some face, Zhu Minglang would have chopped Zhao Yin Ge into pieces and fed him to the dogs years ago.

But his royal status only allowed him to cling to life for a few more years—it didn’t mean he could continue to live carefree!

“Zhu Minglang… we… our grievances have long been settled, and you know I’m just a lackey to An Qingfeng. You know who wants you dead, and there’s no need for you to go to such lengths to kill me!” Zhao Yin Ge also knew what kind of person Zhu Minglang was. To mention those meaningless things would only hasten his own death.

“So tell me, what kind of information do you have that could be worth your life?” Zhu Minglang said.

“An Qingfeng, An Qingfeng wants you dead. King An’s Mansion has always wanted to swallow your Family Door. Zhu Heavenly Officer is too much for him to chew on, so he set his sights on this Little Inner Court. They plan to infiltrate the Little Inner Court first…” Zhao Yin Ge was truly afraid of dying and immediately spilled their plans.

“Oh Zhao Yin Ge, Zhao Yin Ge, it looks like you really don’t value your own life. With such cheap information that anyone with eyes could see, do you think it could exchange for the precious life of a Princely Heir?” Zhu Minglang wasn’t in a hurry, slowly interrogating Zhao Yin Ge.

Before Zhao Yin Ge could speak again, Zhu Minglang gave Zhu Huo a look.

Zhu Huo understood, lifted a ladle of cold water, and slowly poured it onto Zhao Yin Ge’s wound.

The wound boiled and seethed again, the cold water was instantly heated to boiling, spreading over the intact skin, scalding Zhao Yin Ge to the point where he let out screams like a pig being slaughtered.

Giving Zhao Yin Ge a moment to catch his breath, Zhu Minglang asked him again.

“Here’s the deal, Zhao Yin Ge, I’ll give you a hint. Just say a name, and if it’s not the one I’m thinking of, I’ll pour the remaining Earth Vein Lava on your face. You’ve already tasted the flavor of this Flame, so I believe our conversation can be more candid going forward,” Zhu Minglang said.

He took out a bottle of red lava.

Zhu Minglang pretended to pour it over Zhao Yin Ge’s face.

Zhao Yin Ge was so terrified that his body convulsed, and suddenly a foul smell emanated from his crotch…

“What name, what name do you want to know? I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything!” Zhao Yin Ge begged, having already lost control of his bowels.

Zhu Minglang shook his head, feeling embarrassed for this Princely Heir of the royal lineage.

It was just a bottle of Holy Spirit Blood, and yet it terrified him to this extent. The only bottle of Earth Vein Lava had already been thrown away by Zhu Minglang to save Zhu Huo—there was none left now.

But Zhao Yin Ge was already terrified of the substance, the unbearable pain to be felt once more on his face, the direct contact—it would be more merciful to kill him outright.

“Among the eight people heading to the Zhu Gate Secret Area, just say one name. Seeing as you want to take down the Little Inner Court, without an inside man, how could you achieve this? Name your inside man, and I’ll spare your life,” Zhu Minglang said.

“I don’t know, I really don’t know. That person has always been very cautious; he won’t show himself until everything is settled. He only contacts Zhao Yu; even An Qingfeng doesn’t know who he is. I’m telling the truth, everything I say is true,” Zhao Yin Ge said.

Even An Qingfeng doesn’t know who it is?

Is it Prince Zhao Yu pulling the strings?

“Master, I think he doesn’t want to live. Pour the lava on him and use this esteemed little Princely Heir as charcoal to warm up Wu Peng’s room tonight,” Zhu Huo said.

“I’m telling the truth! The Zhu Gate inside man is extremely cautious, he won’t surface until the larger scheme is set in motion!” Zhao Yin Ge shouted.

Zhu Minglang knew what Zhao Yin Ge was made of.

And this fool might not have completely earned the trust of An Qingfeng and Zhao Yu; by the look of him, he had already told everything he knew.

“`

It was not that they obtained no information at all.

At least from Zhao Yin Ge’s mouth, they could now confirm that among the eight who went to the secret realm of the Zhu Gate, indeed one had already betrayed them.

He had defected to King An’s side—and now to the side of little Prince Zhao Yu, assisting An Qingfeng in slowly devouring the Little Inner Court and in one fell swoop taking down the Zhu Gate’s most important asset: the Earth Vein Lava.

The value of Earth Vein Lava was not only for casting, but if the Little Inner Court lost this special forging fire, there would be no point in its existence in Qin City!

Of course, this was not Zhu Minglang’s greatest worry.

The Little Inner Court was far from the Imperial City, and even the Zhu Heavenly Officer himself rarely visited here. King An likely just wanted to breach the Zhu Gate here, then slowly influence the entire Zhu Gate…

…

On the cliff, a long rope dangled with a half-dead person at its end. Dumb Wu Peng slowly lowered the rope into the surging waves.

“You promised to spare my life, Zhu Minglang, Zhu Minglang!!” Zhao Yin Ge struggled, writhing like a worm on the rope and yelling.

“Of course, I’m sparing you, but whether the ravenous Shark Crocodiles below will spare you, that’s not something I can control. You should eat vegetarian more often, do more good deeds, who knows, you might just escape this disaster,” Zhu Minglang said to Zhao Yin Ge.

“You will not die a good death, Zhu Minglang, you will not die a good death!!!” Zhao Yin Ge shouted in rage, cursing vehemently, but his voice was drowned out by the roar of the waves, Zhu Minglang could not hear it at all.

Below, the Shark Crocodiles that were waiting among the rocks for sunrise, still half-asleep, suddenly had a living human slowly delivered to their mouths.

The family of Shark Crocodiles quickly opened their eyes one by one, moved nearly to tears by the food the human on the cliff was feeding them!

There were good people among humans after all; their family of Shark Crocodiles, affected by stormy weather, had not eaten live flesh in days!!

“Roar!!”

Shark Crocodile dad bellowed, waking his wife and children.

Breakfast is served, breakfast is served!

Biting into Zhao Yin Ge’s arm, Shark Crocodile dad chewed a few times, felt something was amiss, and then spit it out.

A prosthetic limb, no telling what it was made of, incredibly unpalatable!

The Shark Crocodile bit into another part of Zhao Yin Ge’s body…

Living flesh!

Delicious, delicious!

The other Shark Crocodiles rushed in, fighting over this rare takeout.

…

Above the cliff, Zhu Minglang watched as Zhao Yin Ge was devoured by the Shark Crocodiles, no trace of sympathy in his eyes.

A villainous Princely Heir from the Imperial City, if those who were oppressed could see this scene, they would probably beat drums and gongs, clap their hands in celebration.

What a pity that he didn’t die sooner—then Zhu Tong would probably still be alive and well now.
