Chapter 82: Is This Brother Ruoshui?

Chapter 82: Is This Brother Ruoshui?

Although he couldn't see Bai Yeye's face clearly, judging from his figure, he was definitely a rare beauty. The emperor always had a thing for pretty people, and his first thought upon seeing a beauty was that nasty business.

His gaze drew attention from all around. Shen Yu's sharp eyes immediately met his, warning him not to have any improper thoughts.

No matter whether the person behind him was Yeye or not, he wouldn't let the emperor lay a hand on him.

The emperor was still dreaming of defeating Shen Yu with poisonous insects in the near future, no longer fearing him as before. He pointed at Bai Yeye and demanded that he take off his mask.

Bai Ruoshui calmly touched the summoning device at his waist. If the emperor insisted on going after Bai Yeye, he would send Bai Yeye away right now.

Shen Yu had never given him face, and now he even omitted the words "Your Majesty": "He's my guard. He doesn't need to follow your orders."

The monarchs of other planets kept their heads down and said nothing, unsure whether having a minister like Shen Yu was good or bad.

On the one hand, he could achieve brilliant military exploits and didn't covet the throne.

On the other hand, he simply didn't regard you as the emperor, acted like he was the emperor himself.

The emperor felt humiliated and coldly snapped: "Your guard just wounded the monarch of the Yur planet! Do you know that could provoke a war between two planets?!"

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, still looking very arrogant: "It wasn't my guard; I ordered it. If he wants to fight, then come on. I have no objection."

If Tu Bang dared to fight him, everyone else would have to respect him as a real man.

"Do you care at all about the safety of interstellar civilians?!"

Shen Yu lifted his eyes: "You should ask yourself that question."

Upon hearing this, the entire banquet hall fell silent.

The emperor felt intimidated under his gaze and didn't even dare to retort.

The empress timely spoke up: "Today is His Majesty's birthday banquet, why make things unpleasant?"

Several princes also chimed in, easing the awkwardness on the scene.

The emperor held back his anger and kept a sour look throughout the entire banquet.

After the banquet ended, he used the pretext of discussing confidential matters to send away his ministers and retain the other interstellar monarchs.

Shen Yu knew that he was about to start winning people over.

"You go back with the Prince Consort first," Shen Yu said to Bai Yeye. He and Bai Yuanzhou planned to stay behind to eavesdrop. They were very familiar with the palace layout, and even if discovered, escape wouldn't be a problem.

Bai Yeye also wanted to stay, but was stopped by Bai Ruoshui.

"Xiaobai, good kids listen to Brother Ruoshui."

Bai Yeye lowered his head: "Alright then."

Bai Ruoshui then kissed Bai Yuanzhou's cheek, with tender affection in his eyes: "Protect yourself. I'll wait for you back at the base."

Bai Yuanzhou would blush every time after being kissed by him: "Okay."

Bai Yeye glanced at Shen Yu. He also wanted a kiss like that. Forget it, this man was insensitive to romance and wasn't going to kiss him.

Bai Ruoshui sent Bai Yeye back to the base and left first on the pretext of needing to buy medicine.

Gu Yuankai saw only Bai Yeye returning and asked worriedly, "Where's the General?"

"They still have matters to handle."

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuankai detected the anger in his tone.

Bai Yeye wasn't angry at them for sending him back, but at himself for not giving Tu Bang a couple more kicks earlier.

He told Gu Yuankai what had happened at the palace. After hearing it, Gu Yuankai was also furious.

"That bastard again! I've wanted to teach him a lesson before! The eldest prince got off lucky—he was only beaten a few times. He's even crueler to those weak alphas, driving out dozens of cadets back then."

It's scary to think how he'll oppress the people now that he's emperor.

The more Bai Yeye listened, the angrier he got: "No way, I won't sleep a wink tonight unless I beat him up."

"Then I'll go with you. I know where he's staying now." All the monarchs' accommodations were arranged by people from their base.

"Don't you need to stay and watch the base?"

"It's okay, it's not far from here. If there's an emergency, we can rush back quickly."

Bai Yeye reached an agreement with him, and the two quietly slipped out of the clinic and went to the hotel where they were currently resting.

The hotel was surrounded by layers of soldiers, but fortunately Gu Yuankai had a token that let him take Bai Yeye straight in.

"Hey, isn't that the Prince Consort? Your Highness...!" Bai Yeye covered Gu Yuankai's mouth to keep him from speaking and alerting Bai Ruoshui.

If Bai Ruoshui caught him sneaking around, he'd definitely get an earful!

Hey, that's not right. Wasn't Brother Ruoshui supposed to be buying medicine? Why is he here?

"Be careful. Don't let him discover us."

Gu Yuankai made an OK gesture, and Bai Yeye released him. The two quietly followed.

Bai Ruoshui walked to the door of the room where Tu Bang was staying and heard foul, abusive language coming from inside.

"What's so great about Shen Yu? I'll kill him sooner or later!"

"And that Bai Yuanzhou, I won't let him off easy! An alpha with only S-level psychic power? Big deal! He must have taken some special medicine from the merpeople clan to gain some ability. Otherwise, with his own qualifications, he's not even worthy of polishing my shoes!"

Bai Ruoshui turned the door handle and walked straight in.

Tu Bang's angry curses turned into a creepy smirk: "Isn't this the great beauty? Why have you come to see me voluntarily? Have you been tempted by what I said just now?"

Bai Yeye rushed forward anxiously: "Brother Ruoshui!"

How could his gentle Brother Ruoshui come alone to see this despicable and lecherous alpha?

Gu Yuankai held him back: "Hold on, let's watch a little longer."

They pressed themselves against the door, just able to see clearly what was happening inside the room.

Bai Ruoshui's voice was still gentle: "Apologize to Yuanzhou."

Tu Bang laughed and mocked: "Bai Yuanzhou really surprises me. He's so cowardly that he has to have an omega stand up for him?"

The servant attending him also chimed in with mockery: "A truly worthless alpha—lowborn and low ability. Agh!"

His words had barely finished when a dagger sank into his chest, piercing straight through his heart.

Tu Bang began to panic. How could Bai Ruoshui move so fast? He hadn't even seen how Bai Ruoshui struck.

Just as he was about to call for someone, Bai Ruoshui dislocated his jaw, rendering him unable to speak.

Bai Ruoshui then broke both his legs, watching him struggle on the ground.

The fear of death enveloped Tu Bang. He desperately tried to crawl out, but before he could move an inch, Bai Ruoshui grabbed him by the hair and pressed the dagger—still fresh from piercing the servant's heart—against his throat.

Tu Bang, though not a decent person, was a formidable alpha in combat. Yet such an alpha was completely helpless in Bai Ruoshui's hands.

Bai Yeye was dumbfounded. Was this Bai Ruoshui? Was this his mermaid daddy? His Brother Ruoshui clearly couldn't fight!

Gu Yuankai also drew in a sharp breath: "So what His Highness the Prince said about the hero saving the beauty was true."

"What hero saving the beauty?"

"It's about their first meeting."

"Didn't Brother Yuanzhou save Brother Ruoshui?"

"No, he said the Prince Consort was the hero, and he himself was the beauty."
