Chapter 194 Escape
The sixth prince was chased around by the fire beast and fled in all directions, looking quite disheveled.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what would the people of Moyun Kingdom think if they saw their beloved and respected sixth prince now looking like a stray dog?"
Bai Ke stood aside, watching the scene unfold with a playful expression, and slowly remarked.
"Bai Ke...Young Master Bai, let's talk this over. You need to take this divine beast back first, otherwise you won't know anything!"
While being chased by the divine beast and panting heavily, the sixth prince, Yuan Di, shouted loudly at Bai Ke.
"Oh? You know what I want to know? In that case, tell me. If you don't tell me, how will anyone know if you're lying to me?"
Bai Ke found a spot to lean back and spoke slowly and deliberately. In situations like this, it's all about psychological warfare, taking advantage of someone's vulnerability.
The more anxious you are, the less anxious I am. I want to slowly watch you break down and give up. When that happens, it'll be time for me to negotiate!
"You only came to my residence in the middle of the night to investigate because you suspected me and were curious about me."
I'm going to tell you some things about myself, but first you need to get this beast to stop, otherwise I don't have the energy to explain everything to you in detail.
"Alright, then let's have a proper talk!" After saying that, he commanded the Flame Beast, which was still relentlessly pursuing the Sixth Prince, "Flame Beast! Come back!"
The fire beast was indeed very obedient. Upon hearing Bai Ke's words, it immediately relented. However, it did not return to the playing cards. Instead, it walked to Bai Ke's side and lay down beside him.
It shook its head and rubbed against Bai Ke's trouser leg, acting all cute. Bai Ke gently stroked its fur, and the Flame Beast seemed to enjoy it, its eyes slightly narrowed as it squinted.
"Speak! Who exactly are you? And how do you know such sinister formations? Confess honestly, or I'll unleash my Flame Beast to deal with you!"
Upon hearing this, the fiery beast even cooperated by letting out threatening "roaring" sounds. Then, the sixth prince straightened his robes, adjusted his jade crown, and coughed lightly.
"Ahem! Bai Ke, I just don't understand, how did you notice me? Logically speaking, I hid it very well, didn't I?"
"Is this all you wanted to say? That's not what I wanted to hear. If you have nothing else to say, then I'll handle it my way!"
"Hehe, of course not. Enough with the nonsense, let me tell you!" Upon hearing this, Bai Ke couldn't help but lift his gaze from the Flame Beast and look at the Sixth Prince.
"Bai Ke, didn't you want to know who I am? Look into my eyes, look carefully. Can you tell who I am?" The Sixth Prince spoke softer and softer, as if he were enticing Bai Ke.
A flash of purple light appeared in the Sixth Prince's pupils, and Bai Ke seemed stunned, staring straight in the Sixth Prince's direction. But his eyes were unfocused and unresponsive.
"Ha, so-called chief disciple of Tian Ce Palace, nothing special! He was easily bewitched by my Soul-Capturing Technique."
I've really had enough of this sixth prince's body. Why don't I just take over his body? Hahaha!
Then, the sixth prince closed his eyes and began to chant incantations. Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the sixth prince, Yuan Di, and flew towards Bai Ke's body.
It entered Bai Ke's body through the top of his head. At this moment, Bai Ke's expression finally changed. His brows furrowed, his face contorted, and fine sweat began to bead on his forehead, as if he were in great pain.
Bai Ke struggled and curled up. Finally, unable to hold on any longer, he stretched out his body, screamed "Ah!", and then fainted.
As Bai Ke shouted, a beam of light was ejected from Bai Ke's body and bounced back into the Sixth Prince's body.
A mouthful of blood spurted from the Sixth Prince's mouth with a "pfft," and he was seen kneeling on the ground with bulging veins on his forehead, seemingly in great pain.
"Who exactly is this Bai Ke? Why can't I take over his body? It's like a powerful force is repelling me and driving me out after I went in! What's going on?!"
The sixth prince, Zheng Bai, was pondering this in utter confusion when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.
"Oh no, the commotion has attracted the patrolling soldiers outside!" Thinking of this, the Sixth Prince glanced at Bai Ke again.
He said resentfully, "Hmph, Bai Ke, you're lucky this time. The world is vast and the road is long, we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future, you just wait!"
After saying that, he quickly got up and disappeared into the darkness.
The remaining fire beast, having not seen the person attack Bai Ke, and not knowing why Bai Ke had become like this, could only lie beside Bai Ke, completely bewildered, waiting for him to wake up.
Soon after, sensing someone approaching, the Flame Beast transformed into the White Guest playing cards and hid inside.
As for the Flame Beast, it was obtained by Bai Ke at the Spirit Beast Garden. Bai Ke had used those playing cards to deal with the Flame Beast before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.
However, when Bai Ke was exploring the function of this playing card, he was surprised to find that the playing card seemed to have the ability to copy after it had been used to deal with the Flame Beast.
During the research, Bai Ke noticed that there seemed to be an extra red animal shape in the lower right corner of the playing card. So he tried to investigate with his spiritual sense and found that there was a Flame Beast.
Bai Ke was overjoyed. With this magical artifact, what mythical beast would he fear? As long as it could be subdued by his playing cards, the cards could copy the beast and make it work for him.
At that point, we can do whatever we want.
As for the sixth prince, he was indeed just an ordinary prince in the previous Moyun Kingdom. Because his words carried little weight, he was not well-liked.
Therefore, after the zombie incident in Anning Village, the palace urgently needed a prince to take charge of the situation, and even needed them to lead people to Anning Village to deal with the incident.
At this moment, the prince, who usually eagerly sought to show his face in front of their father, did not react at all, and he could only be pushed forward to complete the task.
A prince with no power, no background, and no favored status would likely face even greater danger if he went to this peaceful village.
It was at that moment that a part of the ancient cultivator's soul, which was contained in the Yin Spirit Pearl, seized the opportunity to possess the Sixth Prince.
However, because the ancient cultivator's conspiracy had not yet been accomplished, there was only a small portion of his soul, and his strength was not great.
Just as the original soul of the Sixth Prince was locked in a stalemate, the transmigrator transmigrated into the Sixth Prince's body.
Thus, the time traveler reaped the benefits, absorbing both souls for his own use.
Therefore, he later became capable of competing with the king's most favored prince, earned the praise and admiration of the people of Moyun Kingdom, and even gained some influence in the court.
