Chapter 271: Orange

272. Chapter 272: Orange: "Prince, please go to your death."

"Prince, are you alright? This old servant was late in coming to your defense; please forgive me!" Snow Dust hurried over, supporting Xu Tianran, his face filled with terror and remorse.

Although he was Xu Tianran's Personal Guard, in order to achieve the element of surprise, when they were outside, he basically always guarded at a distance of over a hundred meters from Xu Tianran.

After all, at a distance of a hundred meters, given his strength, he could arrive in an instant.

Moreover, a hundred-meter charge would allow the power of his soul skills to be exerted to their maximum potential...

Besides that, Xu Tianran himself possessed the terrifying strength of a Titled Douluo, and furthermore had several Level 9 Soul Tools protecting his person; even a Super Douluo would be unable to do anything to him within a short time...

But even if beaten to death, he would never have guessed that a traitor was right beside Xu Tianran! Although Xu Tianran had defensive Soul Tools that activated automatically to protect his body, they still required time to trigger.

That dog Norman was inherently skilled in assassination; his strike was too fast and the distance too close, so much so that Xu Tianran's automatic defensive Soul Tools did not fully react in time! Fortunately, Xu Tianran was a Titled Douluo, and a mere fatal wound was not worth mentioning.

"Kill... no... capture that dog couple alive! I want them to wish they were dead!!!!"

Xu Tianran clutched his chest, his purple pupils filled with bloodshot veins, looking incredibly bizarre.

Although injured, the aura emanating from him became increasingly terrifying; his expression was hideous, just like a devil crawling out of hell.

"As you command!"

Snow Dust replied respectfully.

Immediately afterward, he turned around, a dagger appearing in his hand; hunching his body, he slowly walked in the direction of Bai Zhou and Orange.

Although his steps were slow, his killing intent completely locked onto Bai Zhou and Orange.

"Kid, you've provoked someone you shouldn't have and touched the Prince's reverse scale; you will regret being alive in this world..." Snow Dust's voice was hoarse, yet one could still hear the barely suppressed fury within it.

After all, he had protected Xu Tianran for so many years, so he naturally knew that Xu Tianran liked Orange; his doting on Orange far exceeded that for any other minister, clearly treating Orange as his forbidden possession.

And now, Orange had run off with someone else...

Anyone in this situation would be unable to swallow this indignity.

"Oh, then I'd like to see how you'll make me regret it~"

Bai Zhou grinned, then lightly snapped his fingers.

The next moment.

"Pfft—"

Snow Dust suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, collapsed with a thud directly onto the ground, and then slowly lost all signs of life.

Snow Dust stared wide-eyed; until the moment of his death, he did not know why this had happened.

"Shadow Douluo, what's hap—pfft—"

Xu Tianran had just begun to ask when he too spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Immediately afterward, the soul power within his body began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In merely two breaths, he had completely become an ordinary person, sharing the same fate as Snow Dust.

However, it was not over yet.

Only then were several muffled "bang-bang-bang" sounds heard; the seven or eight Guards Xu Tianran had brought all exploded with a roar, turning into a mist of blood and reincarnating on the spot.

In just a few breaths, only Xu Tianran remained alive at the scene.

Moreover, what was most bizarre was this:

Although the terrifying auras of two Titled Douluos had erupted here, not a single person had noticed...

Xu Tianran had not noticed anything amiss at first, but now that he realized it, he suddenly felt a chill of extreme horror upon reflection...

"Who exactly are you!!! All of this is your conspiracy!" At this moment, Xu Tianran finally reacted.

He seemed... to have fallen into a huge conspiracy!

This Bai Zhou! He was absolutely not an ordinary person!

And all of this seemed to be a trap targeted specifically at him!

It was not only Xu Tianran.

At this moment, Orange was equally dumbfounded, standing there stupidly in place, completely unable to figure out what was happening now. With one snap of his fingers, Bai Zhou had directly killed a Titled Douluo and other powerful Guards.

Was this a capability a Soul Saint could possess???

That fellow Bai Zhou had deceived her again...!!! "Little White, what exactly is going on?" Orange looked at Bai Zhou, her small head filled with huge question marks.

"Alright, alright, I'll explain it to you later; for now, go take a bath."

Bai Zhou gently patted Orange's shoulder, smiling as he comforted her.

He even casually swiped at Orange's thigh, wiping away a small clump of something strange.

"Ee-ya, what are you doing... There are outsiders present..." Orange quickly clenched her legs together, blushing as she chided coquettishly.

"Out... outsiders... Wait, you two!!!!"

Seeing that clump of things in Bai Zhou's hand, Xu Tianran's eyes instantly threatened to burst from their sockets, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Although he had lost the ability to function as a man,

as a man, he knew most clearly what that clump of things was...

His Orange had actually been... by the other party.

"Hey, Crown Prince, actually I think you are extremely impolite; Orange and I were just enjoying ourselves on the balcony when you barged in, forcing me to send you to meet your ancestors..."

Bai Zhou sighed with feigned regret.

He even reached out and gently massaged behind Orange, acting without any restraint.

"Ai-ya..."

Orange lightly slapped Bai Zhou's hand away, then turned to look at Xu Tianran, saying with a slight sense of guilt: "Prince, I'm sorry; I truly never intended to betray you, but Bai Zhou and I genuinely love each other; I am already Bai Zhou's woman..."

After speaking, Orange glanced shyly at Bai Zhou, a unique flush of red appearing on her cheeks.

Of course, the reason she said this was that she had also thoroughly seen through the current situation.

Bai Zhou might really kill Xu Tianran.

Powerless to stop it, and wishing to repay Xu Tianran for his kindness over the years, she decided to reveal the truth, letting Xu Tianran die with clarity...

"Orange, you... Pugh!!!"

Xu Tianran had already suffered severe injuries; now, attacked at the heart by Orange, his lungs burst with rage on the spot, blood spraying forth wildly as if it cost nothing...

A few minutes later.

Xu Tianran finished spitting blood, ascended right there on the spot, and went to meet his ancestors.

Xu Tianran, deceased.

However, Xu Tianran's eyes stared fixedly at Bai Zhou and Orange until the very end, still refusing to close them in death.

As a Titled Douluo, Xu Tianran died without ever having the chance to unleash a single soul skill...

As a Level 9 Soul Tool Master, Xu Tianran died without ever managing to deploy a single Soul Tool...

Well, his Soul Tool wheelchair didn't count.

"Sigh, I hadn't even made a move yet, and you, Orange, already angered him to death..."

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow, feigning regret as he spoke.

"Ew, the person is already dead, and you're still making cold remarks here; the Crown Prince died right here, what are we going to do..." Orange tugged at Bai Zhou's arm, a trace of panic finally appearing on her face.

If anyone discovered that Xu Tianran had died here, she and Bai Zhou would absolutely be doomed to die! The Imperial Family did not consist only of Xu Tianran! Although she did not know what method Bai Zhou had used to kill two Titled Douluos, such a means must have been prepared in advance.

With Bai Zhou's and her own strength, if they were caught by the Imperial Family, they would absolutely be doomed to die! "Hmm, how about we elope?" A flash of inspiration struck Bai Zhou, and he thought of a good idea.

Orange:... That's not impossible...

Bai Zhou:!!? (End of Chapter)
