Chapter 207 - 207 207 Poisonous Scheme Part 1

207: Chapter 207 Poisonous Scheme (Part 1) 207: Chapter 207 Poisonous Scheme (Part 1) “Ye Xuan, if you want to kill, kill, but don’t expect us to beg,” said the Princess of Japan, still a young girl.

Yet, the firmness on her face was intensely strong, as if she had already anticipated her own end, with no hope of life left in her eyes.

Hiss!

Another flash of the sword, and the Japanese Princess’s left arm was severed, causing her to groan in pain.

However, she bit down hard on her silver teeth, refusing to make a sound.

“Not bad, there’s some backbone.”

Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

However, as his eyes opened and closed, a trace of cruelty flashed through them, chilling the temperature of the entire Emperor Pavilion suddenly.

Abruptly!

Ye Xuan smiled at the camera held by the plump man, his voice cold and merciless, “Miyamoto Mutten, I’m giving you three days.

If I don’t see you within these three days, not only will your children die, your ministers will die too.”

The same words, a different scene.

Miyamoto Mutten had said this a few days ago, but now, this scene was playing out with Ye Xuan.

“Do not delude yourself, even if you kill us, my father, the Emperor, will not appear.

But let me tell you, my father will definitely avenge us,” the Prince of Japan roared in anguish.

“Heh!”

Ye Xuan smirked, his smile sinister and ominous, “How about a bet?

If Miyamoto Mutten comes to save you, not only will I spare you, but I will also spare Miyamoto Mutten’s life, and the past grievances can be wiped clean.”

“Huh?”

As Ye Xuan finished speaking, a wave of surprised murmurs filled the Emperor Pavilion, even the angry expressions of the Japanese Prince and Princess froze.

“Is…

is that true?” the Japanese Princess asked, trembling.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, his voice soothing, “I am a man of my word.

If Miyamoto Mutten comes to save you, I will spare the lives of your entire family.”

“Sir, are you…?”

The puzzled man holding the camera hesitated, unsure why Ye Xuan would make such a wager.

He wanted to persuade him otherwise, but swallowed his words.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan, devoid of any malice and almost refreshing in his demeanor, smiled at the camera, “Miyamoto Mutten, did you hear that?

If you come to save your children, I will not kill them.”

…

At the same time.

In a small, secluded city in Xia Country, Miyamoto Mutten’s hair was disheveled, fixated on the video playing in the city center.

As he saw the scene of his children with severed limbs, he clenched his teeth so hard they nearly shattered.

His eyes, filled with boundless hatred that the Four Seas could not wash away, reddened fiercely.

But when he heard Ye Xuan’s promise, the breath caught in Miyamoto Mutten’s throat, and he fell into a daze.

He did not know if Ye Xuan’s words were true or false—if he appeared before Ye Xuan, would Ye Xuan really spare their family?

“Ah, Divine King Ye’s methods are too brutal.”

“What do you understand?

This Miyamoto Mutten has killed so many of Divine King Ye’s subordinates, how could he spare this Miyamoto Mutten?”

“Exactly, even if Miyamoto Mutten comes to save his children, this man is doomed.

Let’s wait and see.”

A torrent of voices reached Miyamoto Mutten’s ears, causing him to tremble, his fists clenched so tightly that his fingernails drew blood from his palms, unbeknownst to him.

“Children, your father has failed you, but rest assured, one day I will personally exact revenge on Ye Xuan for you!”

Miyamoto Mutten gave a mournful smile, searing Ye Xuan’s image into his mind before turning and walking away, but tears uncontrollably streamed down his face.

…

Japan, Emperor Pavilion.

Three days isn’t too long or too short, but for the courtiers of Japan and the prince and princess, it felt like a century.

They were fearful, longing for the appearance of Miyamoto Mutten, but after three consecutive days, Miyamoto Mutten had not appeared in the Emperor Pavilion.

The sun rose and the moon set, and the stars shifted.

When the first rays of the fourth day’s sun sprinkled onto the earth, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his lips curling into a cruel and sinister smile.

“Time’s up.”

Like the ringing of the Bell of the Dead Soul, like the dirge of souls passing, when Ye Xuan’s voice filled the Emperor Pavilion, it turned the prince and princess of Japan deathly pale.

“Wait…

wait…

My father will definitely come,” the Japanese prince pleaded with a trembling voice.

“Ye… Divine King Ye… please give us one more chance… our father will definitely not abandon us,” the Japanese princess cried out.

“Yes, Divine King Ye, the Emperor must be on his way,” the courtiers trembled and pleaded.

“Sir, kill them,” the chubby man said fiercely and venomously, trying to console Ye Xuan.

Regrettably, Ye Xuan smiled faintly and then slowly shook his head, saying, “I am very merciful, so since you beg me, I will give Miyamoto Mutten some more time.”

Ye Xuan closed his eyes again, but the smile that formed on his lips turned the chubby man pale, his heart filled with immense dread.

The chubby man believed, having followed Ye Xuan for so long, although he couldn’t fully understand his master, he knew that whenever such a smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face, it foretold something extremely horrifying.

This made the chubby man look at the prince and others of Japan with great pity.

The sun set, night fell.

A day passed, and Miyamoto Mutten still had not appeared, while the faces of the prince and others were ashen, their lips trembling, they looked eagerly outside the Emperor Pavilion, hoping in these final moments, their father would save their lives.

Regrettably, what awaited them was endless despair, for not even a shadow or a mosquito appeared outside the Emperor Pavilion.

“Why…

why?” the Japanese prince screamed in agony.

“Father… Father… are you… really going to abandon us?” the Japanese princess bit her lips, tears streaming uncontrollably, almost unable to sob.

“Emperor, where are you?” the courtiers cried out loud, for they truly didn’t want to die.

At this moment!

Ye Xuan once again opened his eyes, calmly looking at the prince and others, a faint smile sketched at his lips, saying, “I will give you seven more days, this is my final act of mercy.”

The sudden surprise stunned the courtiers and the prince and princess, before joy erupted on their faces, as they vocally thanked Ye Xuan, even the hatred in their eyes softening significantly.

One day…

two days… three days…

the seventh day!

Time passed like water, softly flowing, and after seven continuous days, the prince and others of Japan looked haggard, their eyes red and desperate, their hearts sinking into a trough and then turning into the final despair.

Thud—Thud—Thud.

Heavy footsteps approached; unbeknownst to them, Ye Xuan silently appeared in front of the Japanese prince and princess, his eyes filled with pity.

“Do you see?”

“Your father will not come to save you, you have been abandoned by him.

He is selfish and cowardly, afraid of death.

Even though I gave your entire family a chance to live, he didn’t dare risk coming to save you.”

Like a demon’s whisper, like a devil’s mockery, Ye Xuan’s voice was filled with a beguiling intent, making the Japanese prince and princess clench their fists tightly, tears silently streaming down their eyes.
