Chapter 568: Chapter 564 Taotie: How about you give it a kiss?

Looking at Bao Yuan kneeling with shattered knees, his expression twisted in pain, gnashing his teeth, glaring at him stubbornly, Vermilion Bird smiled playfully.

Vermilion Bird tidied up his robe, which was torn like it had been gnawed, and strolled over to Bao Yuan, squatting down to meet his gaze.

"Kid, did you know?"

"Even if you had run just now, there was nothing I could do, nor would I harm Jiang Xinyan."

"But you’re foolish, too scared to gamble with me."

Vermilion Bird patted Bao Yuan’s face, grinning happily like a fox who had stolen a chicken.

"You—"

Upon hearing Vermilion Bird’s words, Bao Yuan was livid.

Furiously glaring at Vermilion Bird.

If looks could kill, Vermilion Bird would have been sliced to pieces, executed by a thousand cuts.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing Bao Yuan’s expression, Vermilion Bird laughed.

Laughed loudly, arrogantly.

A hundred times more arrogant than Bao Yuan was to Hummingbird earlier, successfully returning all the humiliation Hummingbird suffered back to Bao Yuan tenfold.

"Pah..."

Bao Yuan’s mouth moved, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Bang—

As Bao Yuan made a move, Vermilion Bird noticed and, in an instant before the blood could exit, swung his metallic folded fan, striking Bao Yuan’s face and knocking his head askew.

"Spitting everywhere is really impolite."

Vermilion Bird said with a chuckle.

Vermilion Bird dealt such a strong blow that Bao Yuan rolled three times on the spot.

A few blood-stained teeth flew into the air.

As they fell, they precisely smashed into Bao Yuan’s face.

"Come, take him back to the Phoenix Nest."

"Don’t let him die before Princess Your Highness returns. His life and death aren’t for him to decide, only Princess Your Highness can judge."

Vermilion Bird looked down at Bao Yuan.

Speaking word by word.

"Yes!"

Before Vermilion Bird’s words fell, a member of the Phoenix Clan responded, immediately tying Bao Yuan up tightly.

In fear of Bao Yuan biting his tongue to commit suicide, they specifically tied a rope around Bao Yuan’s mouth.

"Leave a few groups to guard the Swan Goose."

"Kill those who should be killed, imprison those who should be imprisoned."

"Those uninvolved can continue working as usual."

"The Swan Goose is such a big industry, it can’t be left without oxen and horses to manage it for Princess Your Highness."

Vermilion Bird ordered the Phoenix Nest combat squad.

"Understood!"

Vermilion Bird’s means of manipulating people sent chills down their spines. The warriors trained by Thousand Faces all felt their scalps go numb, none dared to disobey.

Previously, they only feared Vermilion Bird’s force.

Now they feared Vermilion Bird’s ruthless cruelty.

Nobody wanted to become the next Bao Yuan.

Bao Yuan, fallen into Vermilion Bird’s hands.

——

Half a month later!

Shu!

In the hospital room!

After half a month of recuperation, Tom and the other three, who were originally strong and healthy, had all returned to their former selves.

Taotie and three others surrounded Fang Xiaocao’s hospital bed.

Looking at Fang Xiaocao, who lay on the bed, unconscious for half a month, as if showing no intention of waking up, Taotie and the others were all clouded with gloom, except Taotie’s expression was somewhat strangely different.

"Tom, what are we going to do if Princess Your Highness never wakes up?"

Mantis massaged Fang Xiaocao’s hands and feet, asking with a face full of bitterness and worry.

Tom shook his head: "I don’t know either. It’s like Princess Your Highness used some forbidden technique from hypnotism to take down that super master with her, resulting in this state. I don’t understand hypnotism or spiritual power."

Tom felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Looking at the pale face of Fang Xiaocao on the bed, Tom felt such heartache that he wished he could suffer in her place.

Taotie glanced cheekily at Fang Xiaocao, then at Tom and Mantis, opened his mouth, showing a look of wanting to speak but hesitating.

But Tom and Mantis had all their attention on Fang Xiaocao, not noticing Taotie’s expression, only Unhappy saw it, but unfortunately, Unhappy couldn’t speak, much less ask.

"Why do I feel like Princess Your Highness has woken up?"

Looking at Fang Xiaocao on the bed, Taotie mumbled to himself, his gaze full of inquiry.

Suddenly, Taotie’s eyes brightened.

Like a spark of inspiration, a thought popped into his head.

"Old Tom, have you watched Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ cartoon?"

Taotie looked at Tom.

His expression faintly... excited!

"Hmm?"

"Those are the Seven Dwarfs!"

Tom corrected.

"It doesn’t matter if it’s the seven dwarves or seven little pumpkins, just say if you’ve watched it or not."

Taotie waved his hand, boldly asking.

Tom shook his head helplessly: "I’ve seen it."

"What’s up?"

Tom was a bit troubled, unable to comprehend what Taotie was up to.

"Usually when a princess falls into a coma, just a prince’s kiss would wake her up."

"You should give Princess Your Highness a kiss!"

Taotie said eagerly.

The excitement in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Tom was stunned by Taotie’s peculiar thought process, dumbfounded as he looked at Taotie.

"Big Foolish Spring, what are you talking about?"

Tom subconsciously exclaimed.

"And why me?"

Tom wanted to crack open Taotie’s skull to see if there was water inside.

"I’m a married man, Mantis is female, Unhappy can only be considered a pet, so you’re the most like the Prince here."

"Besides, aren’t princes a specialty from your country?"

Taotie said as if it was the obvious truth.

"You fool!"

Before Tom could react, Unhappy had already realized that Taotie wasn’t speaking kindly and shouted Taotie’s nickname.

Taotie’s face instantly darkened, glaring at Unhappy.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

Tom shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Just give Princess Your Highness a kiss."

"What if it works?"

Taotie urged eagerly.

"Tom..."

"Why don’t you give it a try?"

Mantis suggested hesitantly.

Even though she knew Taotie’s suggestion was a bit ridiculous, Mantis couldn’t help but feel a twinge of hope.

"You..."

Hearing Mantis say that, Tom was taken aback. He even suspected Taotie and Mantis might have rushed out this morning, leaving their brains behind.

What kind of bizarre opinions were these?

If even the doctors couldn’t wake someone, how could a kiss from him?

He’s Tom, not a Wish Tree.

And certainly not the turtle in the Wishing Pool.

Why him?

"Old Tom, can’t you be a bit more manly?"

"You’re fussing more than Mantis, acting more like a woman. Isn’t it just a kiss to Princess Your Highness?"

"What, are you disgusted by Princess Your Highness?"

"Why don’t we brush Princess Your Highness’s teeth first, then you can kiss her?"

Taotie’s remark left both Tom and Mantis speechless, staring darkly at Taotie.

"What do you mean more like a woman than me?"

"I’m a woman, alright?"

Mantis rolled her eyes, inwardly ranting.

If she weren’t outmatched by Taotie, Mantis with her short temper would have already charged at Taotie, ripping him apart.

No one noticed that Fang Xiaocao on the bed’s face darkened for a moment, her hands clenching into fists on the bed.
