Chapter 2263: Chapter 2263: Escaped
Xuexue pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve, just planning to add another cut to Lin Kong, when the Fourth Prince rushed towards her with a weapon, forcing her to abandon her plan.
She grabbed Long Rui and turned to run.
The Fourth Prince chased for about one or two hundred meters before he stopped, appearing somewhat reluctant to continue the pursuit.
The guards from the fourth prince’s mansion were still far behind and hadn’t caught up yet.
Seeing this, Xuexue and Long Rui also stopped.
Their objective was to lure the Fourth Prince.
"Fourth Prince, Lin Kong said you’re a murderous demon and also the mastermind behind this supernatural outbreak, is that true?" Xuexue asked in a gruff voice.
When doing bad things, naturally you can’t let others know your true identity, so when they seek revenge, it has nothing to do with you.
Just as the Fourth Prince was about to give up the chase, he heard this and his expression changed dramatically, immediately turning around to glare fiercely at the skinny man in black before him and asked through gritted teeth, "What did you say? Say it again."
Xuexue’s purpose was to provoke him, making him lose his reason and continue chasing them, so she immediately said, "I said you’re a murderous demon and the mastermind behind the supernatural outbreak."
"You...!"
The Fourth Prince’s expression instantly became fierce: "How do you know?"
Xuexue: "Didn’t I just tell you? Your Master told us."
The Fourth Prince: "Impossible, Master would never betray me."
Xuexue: "We are just some passing thieves. If he didn’t tell us, how would we possibly know?"
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince somewhat believed it. Nobody knew about his practice of evil cultivation except his Master. If it wasn’t him who leaked it, who else could it be? He couldn’t help but feel some resentment towards Lin Kong. The Master taught him Evil Cultivation but then leaked his secret. What does he mean by this?
Although Lin Kong was paralyzed and unable to move, due to his high Inner Strength, his ears were still sharp, and he could hear Xuexue’s words clearly even from hundreds of meters away.
This female thief is really wicked. She knows about the Fourth Prince’s Evil Cultivation, yet she frames him, intentionally sowing discord between the Master and him.
What are the origins of these two, and their actions tonight seem purposeful—far from ordinary thieves’ antics.
Lin Kong became more and more alarmed and shouted out loudly: "Fourth Prince, don’t believe their nonsense, they’re just trying to create a rift between us."
Xuexue sneered and said, "We, as a couple, aren’t familiar with you and have nothing better to do than create discord between you two without reason. Believe or don’t, it’s your choice."
Long Rui also said, "Yeah, don’t mind them, honey, let’s hurry back, it’s late."
Xuexue crisply replied, "Well, since others don’t believe, let’s go!"
"Tonight, none of you shall leave," the Fourth Prince’s eyes suddenly turned blood red and his lips also turned black and red.
"Oh no! Husband, it’s a monster," Xuexue shouted and then ran off.
Long Rui seemed very panicked too, desperately running behind Xuexue while calling out in alarm, "Honey, honey, wait for me! Aren’t you supposed to protect me? Why are you running faster than a rabbit?"
Xuexue did not slow down at all, shouting while running, "Husband, you’re a grown man, asking a weak woman to protect you—aren’t you ashamed?"
"Wife, I’m looking out for you too. If I accidentally die, you’ll have to live as a widow."
The two of them—one big and one small—were fleeing frantically in front.
Seeing this, the Fourth Prince sneered repeatedly, leaping forward to chase while muttering to himself, "Trying to escape? Not a chance."
By the time the guards from the prince’s mansion started chasing afterwards, the street was already empty of their figures.
"What shall we do? The Fourth Prince is missing."
"What else? Let’s search around nearby."
The guards said one after another.
