Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 135 If you lay a finger on him, this princess will kill his entire family!

Seeing the green-robed youth's menacing appearance.

Uncle Tian's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward to explain, "Young Master Jianyuan, it's all a misunderstanding. This is the Princess's cousin. The Princess specifically instructed that he not be neglected. The tea was something this old servant decided on his own..."

"Cousin?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the green-robed youth. He narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Li Wudao. After a moment, as if remembering something, he suddenly sneered:

"Who do we have here? It's you! Eight years ago, you good-for-nothing disappeared without a word. I thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to still be alive..."

At this point, he raised his neck high, adopting a superior attitude, and said disdainfully, "What's wrong? You couldn't make it on the outside all these years, so you're thinking of coming to the Prince's mansion to freeload?"

Li Wudao glanced at him, and as a memory surfaced, his brows furrowed slightly.

Li Jianyuan, the fifth son of the Prince Rui's mansion, was born out of wedlock. In his childhood, he often conspired with others to play pranks on the original owner of this body.

"Mind your own business. What I want to do is none of your concern."

Li Wudao gave him a cold glance, his words equally impolite.

"you......."

Li Jianyuan was momentarily speechless.

I never expected that the guy I could bully as a child would now have grown up and dare to talk back to me?

"What do you mean, 'you'? Look at your ugly face, you look like a wronged criminal. I don't know where you get your sense of superiority from?"

Seeing that he was about to speak, Li Wudao did not give him the chance and pressed his advantage.

When it comes to cursing, he has lived two lives and is quite experienced; how could he possibly be unable to suppress a mere brat?

"........"

Both Tian Bo and the maid who had been beaten earlier were dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly refined young man could be so sharp-tongued when he started cursing. Even the rebellious Fifth Young Master was speechless for a moment, his face turning red, unable to refute him.

"Sharp-tongued, you want to know where my sense of superiority comes from?"

Li Jianyuan laughed in exasperation.

Immediately, he pulled a palm-sized tea bag from his pocket, pinched out a small pinch of golden tea leaves, and coldly snorted:

"This is a hundred-year-old, top-grade Jade Bee Tea, a special supply to the royal family. Its effects are comparable to a first-grade spiritual medicine, and it's worth a fortune. A piece of trash like you could never afford to drink it in your entire life, understand?"

Seeing the almost overflowing arrogance on the other person's face, Li Wudao had a strange expression, revealing a look of pity for someone with intellectual disabilities.

A mere first-grade elixir?

He's consumed all sorts of sacred medicines, and has taken countless elixirs; this idiot's sense of superiority is questionable.

"What, are you scared out of your wits?"

Seeing Li Wudao remain silent, Li Jianyuan assumed that the other party was intimidated by him and couldn't help but lecture him:

"Now that you've seen the difference between us, you should keep a low profile and behave yourself from now on. You're lucky you ran into me today. If you run into a brick wall one day, you'll regret it."

In response, Li Wudao bluntly replied with two words: "Idiot."

Li Jianyuan's face immediately turned ashen. Among his peers, there were only a handful of people who dared to scold him, but this good-for-nothing in front of him was definitely not one of them!

"Fuck you!"

Just as he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and prepared to teach the other party a lesson.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap rang out, and Li Jianyuan felt dizzy, his ears rang, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

The force was so great that half of his face swelled up instantly, and even his cherished packet of Jade Bee Tea slipped from his hand and spilled on the ground.

He touched his burning face, his eyes glaring angrily, a strong sense of humiliation welling up inside him.

He never expected that on his turf, this good-for-nothing he had repeatedly made fun of would dare to slap him in public!

"this......."

Seeing this, Steward Tian and several maids stood frozen in place, their faces full of astonishment.

They never expected that the cousin their princess brought back would act so ruthlessly, even daring to hit the usually tough Fifth Young Master; he was truly fierce.

Just as Li Jianyuan was struggling to get up, he saw Li Wudao lift his foot and stomp heavily on the golden tea leaves scattered on the ground, saying calmly:

"If your sense of superiority is just a packet of low-grade spiritual tea, then it's far too low-class. To be honest, even a turtle in a pond wouldn't bother drinking this kind of tea."

"You dare step on my Jade Bee Tea?"

Li Jianyuan's eyes were bloodshot and blazing with fury.

He had begged Prince Rui for two months to finally obtain this packet of spiritual tea, but it was ruined by a good-for-nothing. It was simply unforgivable!

"........."

Li Wudao was speechless for a moment.

Shouldn't we say something like, "Why did you dare to hit him?"

What kind of bizarre thought process is this? Could it be that the slap just now made him stupid?

"Kid, stop with your veiled insults. Do you think I can't understand you?"

Just then, the green-haired turtle, who had been resting with its eyes closed in the corner, became unhappy and darted up, glaring fiercely at Li Wudao.

Everyone was slightly surprised. They hadn't expected that this unassuming turtle could speak human language; it was quite a peculiar thing.

"What kind of luck did you have, kid? You actually have a spirit pet to keep you company. I underestimated you before."

Li Jianyuan's eyes flickered as he stared intently at the green-haired turtle, his gaze filled with deep greed. He said:

"Boy, if you agree to hand over this spirit pet, I will forgive you for your past offenses, how about it?"

Li Wudao was stunned, then looked at the green-haired turtle with a half-smile, "I don't care, as long as this turtle agrees."

What goes around comes around, and now it's finally his turn to have some fun.

Before Li Jianyuan could speak, the green-haired tortoise raised its front paw and blew on it, saying in an old-fashioned tone, "Little brat, don't blame me for speaking harshly, you're so weak that you're not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

It could easily kill several ants in the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm with a single swipe of its claw, yet it dared to claim to be its master—how absurd!

There was silence.

Tian Bo and his servants all had strange expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to, their faces turning red from holding it in.

"you!"

Li Jianyuan, the person involved, turned pale and then flushed. He couldn't believe that even a turtle dared to humiliate him. He could no longer tolerate it and immediately roared:

"Men, seize these two men and torture them severely!"

Not long after he finished speaking, five burly men with sharp auras walked in and instantly surrounded Li Wudao and the green-haired turtle.

"Fifth Young Master, you mustn't!"

Tian Bo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly pleaded, "The princess specifically instructed me to treat you well. If the princess finds out what you've done, you will certainly be held accountable."

"Hmph, he's just a piece of trash from a collateral branch of the royal family. There's nothing to worry about. I don't believe my elder sister would punish me because of him!"

Li Jianyuan scoffed.

Although he was born out of wedlock, he was still Prince Rui's son. I don't believe he was inferior to an outsider.

But Li Wudao, trapped in his "prison," remained unfazed and instead smiled, saying, "These few people aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap. Call more over; I want to take on ten!"

These burly men looked like they had a lot of meat on them, but the strongest of them was only at the late stage of the True Yuan Realm, about the same as the guards of the Zhennan Marquis's mansion that he had killed in the restaurant. They were really not impressive.

He realized that Li Jianyuan wouldn't talk properly unless he used some drastic measures, so he might as well beat him into submission completely.

Seeing that Li Wudao still dared to provoke him, Uncle Tian opened his mouth, but was speechless: "........"

These guards were all highly skilled veterans, each strong and proficient in various combat techniques.

This princess's cousin is quite young and looks very handsome, so why does he speak so recklessly?

"Arrogant! You dare to talk back even when you're about to die! Men, beat him up!"

Li Jianyuan's lips twitched violently, and he trembled with anger.

Seeing that things were about to escalate, Uncle Tian was extremely anxious and rushed outside.

Prince Rui is still in seclusion recovering from his injuries. At this point, only the Princess and the Princess Consort can keep the Fifth Young Master in check.

Just as the guards of the Prince's mansion were about to take action, an angry shout came from outside the door:

"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on him, I, the princess, will slaughter their entire family!"
