Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 311: The Little Lord Who Charms Both Men and Women (Part 5)

They awaited the arrival of dawn.

Only then would the nightmare end. Only then could they just barely survive another day.

However, after the body of the girl dragged in earlier was taken away, no one came to select another. They did not know what had happened to change the Crown Prince’s routine.

Yet, they could keenly sense that the atmosphere in the Crown Prince Palace was more terrifying than before, as if an impending storm was pressing down on everyone.

Inside the beast skin partition, the floor was also covered thickly with countless beast skins.

In the center was a square fire pit, where a bonfire burned, warming the room.

Beside it, on a massive round bed, chaos reigned. Bloodstains remained on the surface, some darker and some brighter.

At this moment, only a completely naked person sat on the round bed, his body covered in fierce tattoos. Muscles bulged all over as veins protruded. His hair was tied into countless small braids, each held in place by a golden skull ornament.

The firelight cast on him, placing half his body in shadow, while the exposed side exuded a sharp aura.

His facial features were not outstanding, yet they were cold and hard as if carved by a blade.

A viciousness and brutality filled the space between his brows.

Like a demon who feasts on human flesh and drinks human blood.

Kneeling on the animal rug, another figure was shrouded entirely in darkness.

One fist supported on the ground, his head buried deeply, as if wishing to disappear before this terrifying man.

"You’re saying that Helian Ba and that Qin Country Princess have disappeared?" A deep voice came from Helian Zhan’s mouth, each word laced with killing intent.

"Yes." The kneeling man’s head sank lower.

Helian Zhan’s eyes, flashing with a ferocious light, narrowed, and a bloodthirsty smile crept across his lips: "According to the itinerary, they should have been within Tu Country’s borders for several days now."

"Yes. According to the plan, the Barbarian King should have returned to the country seven or eight days ago. However, when I inquired at the border city a few days ago, I found that the Barbarian King had never appeared. I initially thought there might have been some delay on the road, but after waiting a few more days, the Barbarian King still had not appeared. Following the official road, all that was found was evidence of a fierce battle outside a forest not far from the border city." After saying this, the sweat on his brow had soaked through his black turban.

"Battle marks? Someone dared to attack my Tu Country’s Barbarian King? Interesting." Helian Zhan’s laughter was filled with coldness.

Immediately, he added: "Since the Barbarian King disappeared during this mission to Qin Country, then let’s march on Qin Country. Qin Country must be made to give an explanation." After speaking, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and every war-hungry cell in his body stirred.

"Crown Prince! That might be..." inappropriate, only to swallow the last three words when he met Helian Zhan’s icy gaze.

He knew his master’s temper, arrogant and war-crazed and brutal.

Aligning with Qin through marriage was already an insult to his pride. Now, the Barbarian King’s disappearance and the Qin Country Princess’s vanishing provided him with the perfect excuse for war. How could he let it pass?

It seemed that the attack on Qin was not to retrieve Helian Ba but to wash away the humiliation of marrying into Qin.

Inwardly, the kneeling man lamented.

Tu Country’s Crown Prince position was fiercely contested. His master had only just secured it, and with domestic troubles unresolved, was now considering starting a war, practically handing his enemies a weapon to use against him.

He was certain the Crown Prince’s opposition wouldn’t prevent the attack on Qin; rather, they’d fan the flames. If the war affected Tu Country, regardless of the outcome, they’d have a reason to criticize the Crown Prince.
