Chapter 303: Solving the Problem by Eliminating the Person Who Raised It

304. Chapter 304: Solving the Problem by Eliminating the Person Who Raised It

One foot, wrapped in smooth silk stockings, felt soft, glutinous, and warm to the touch; it certainly belonged to Orange.

The other foot, similarly sheathed in thin silk stockings, felt icy cool, soft, glutinous, and petite; this was Meng Hongchen's.

However, due to the blind field of vision, the moment both girls' feet landed on Bai Zhou's lower abdomen, they collided with each other.

In an instant.

Orange and Meng Hongchen froze immediately, then their faces flushed crimson in a flash; simultaneously, they withdrew their feet and pretended nothing had happened, continuing to eat on their own.

Yet at that moment, both girls felt utterly humiliated internally, wishing they could find a crack in the earth to crawl into right then...

This was because of Bai Zhou, or rather, due to Bai Zhou's hobbies.

During meals, both girls involuntarily wanted to assist Bai Zhou; Orange had done such things countless times before.

Although Meng Hongchen had only experienced this once, perhaps due to her attentiveness, or perhaps to accelerate gaining Bai Zhou's favor, she too subconsciously extended her foot.

By sheer coincidence, their thoughts collided at the exact same moment, resulting in the current situation.

However, at this moment, Bai Zhou became dissatisfied...

He had just intended to reach out and play with both simultaneously, yet now they had both withdrawn; how could he possibly play like this?

"How about... together..."

Finally unable to hold back, Bai Zhou glanced at the two girls and proposed in a low voice.

Orange:...

Meng Hongchen:...

"You rascal, can you show some restraint? Xiao Meng is right here!" Orange truly could not endure it; she lightly stepped on Bai Zhou and chided coquettishly with a flushed face.

This rogue Bai Zhou acted like this every time; Meng Hongchen was so well-behaved, she would sooner or later be led astray.

Of course, her saying this did not mean opposition; she merely wished to maintain her persona as the "big sister" in front of Meng Hongchen.

If she allowed Bai Zhou to bully and manipulate her arbitrarily in front of Meng Hongchen, how could she protect Meng Hongchen in the future? Would not the persona she had spent all morning building collapse instantly?

Therefore, as long as Meng Hongchen was nearby, even if she had to pretend, she must act tougher... she could not allow Meng Hongchen to look down on her.

Yet in Meng Hongchen's eyes, Orange's persona was already perfect, and she thoroughly admired and submitted to Orange.

After all, she herself had never dared to refuse Bai Zhou.

But Orange Sister had talked back to Bai Zhou for her sake, which made her feel warmth swelling in her heart.

Her affection for Orange grew even deeper.

"Cough, cough, alright, alright."

Seeing Orange act this way, Bai Zhou found it difficult to say more.

However, at this moment, Meng Hongchen spoke up: "Orange Sister, since we are all insiders, I don't mind..."

As Meng Hongchen spoke, she lowered her head, completely daring not to look at Bai Zhou.

After all, speaking these words had exhausted all her courage.

"You really got lucky!" Upon hearing this, Orange glared fiercely at Bai Zhou, though she did not object.

She once again extended her small foot into Bai Zhou's embrace.

Meng Hongchen also gently extended her small foot, allowing Bai Zhou to manipulate it as he pleased.

"Double happiness~"

Holding the small feet of the two girls, Bai Zhou instantly felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

However, for now, they could only play like this.

Wanting all three to sleep together remained a difficult journey ahead.

Amidst this double happiness.

Bai Zhou quickly reached his conclusion. "Ew, so dirty..."

Orange feigned disgust as she glanced at Bai Zhou, lightly stepped on him, then took Meng Hongchen's small hand, saying, "Xiao Meng, let's ignore him; upstairs, I'll help you wash up."

"Mm-hmm~"

Meng Hongchen nodded gently, then glanced apologetically at Bai Zhou, playfully stuck out her tongue, and quickly followed Orange upstairs.

Suddenly thinking of something, Orange glanced at Bai Zhou and abruptly said, "By the way, upstairs belongs to me and Xiao Meng; Little White, you are not allowed to come up casually!"

"I know, I know..."

Bai Zhou helplessly agreed.

It seemed exactly as he had expected; two women sharing one pair of pants would definitely unite to deal with him.

However, although he agreed verbally, he certainly could not endure it; tonight, he must take the initiative to strike.

One must strive for what one wants; if he truly obeyed Orange's words obediently, who knew when, in what year of the monkey or month of the horse, he would ever achieve his goal.

As Meng Hongchen and Orange went upstairs, Bai Zhou simply cleaned the room, then returned to his own small hut to enter secluded cultivation.

Of course, during this period, he also inquired about the progress of Xu Guozhong and the others' work.

Although the Imperial Family had indeed experienced significant turmoil when several princes suddenly disappeared.

Yet after Kong Deming and Xu Tianyuan returned, they directly forced the use of military power to suppress all restless elements.

Among these were several imperial relatives who dissented against Kong Deming's decision, furthermore expressing dissatisfaction with the Eighth Prince, and even attempting to select another person of imperial bloodline from among the imperial relatives to inherit the throne.

Regarding these fellows, Kong Deming did not even need orders from Bai Zhou; he personally intervened, forcefully suppressing and killing them all without mercy! After all, although the imperial relatives' faction was powerful, their strength primarily lay within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Corps and the Hall of Offerings, and ultimately rested upon Kong Deming himself.

The Hall of Offerings consisted entirely of Kong Deming's people; although there were some imperial relatives among them, their highest rank was merely Level Eight Soul Tool Master, granting them no speaking rights whatsoever.

Previously, because Kong Deming was utterly loyal to the Imperial Family, he had "lent" the Hall of Offerings and the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Tool Academy to these imperial relatives for casual use, which made outsiders perceive the Imperial Family and the foundation behind it as unfathomably deep.

But if one peeled back the true face of things, everyone would discover that, in reality, the entire Imperial Family possessed only Kong Deming as a powerful figure; all others were merely foils, and even though there were several Level 9 Soul Tool Masters, over ten Level Eight Soul Tool Masters, and numerous High-Level Soul Engineers, they ultimately could not amount to anything.

If not for the need to save a bit of face, Kong Deming would have wanted to utterly exterminate the entire Imperial Family clan, the Xu lineage! The same applied to Xu Tianyuan's side.

The family behind Xu Tianyuan was also part of the Imperial Family clan; they had tried to instigate Xu Tianyuan to usurp the throne, and the outcome was predictable...

Xu Tianyuan was now utterly loyal to Bai Zhou; since his own family actually wanted to snatch things from Bai Zhou, he naturally showed no mercy, killing his own kin for the sake of righteousness.

According to Xu Tianran's report, Xu Tianyuan had slaughtered nearly all the high-ranking members of his lineage that very night, equally a bloody suppression without any pity! Linghu Yun also participated, guarding the Imperial Capital to ensure not a single "remnant rebel" escaped, while he personally led the team to raid their homes.

Earthworms split vertically, eggs shaken apart; regardless of whether they were old, weak, sick, or disabled, all were slaughtered, leaving absolutely no hidden troubles.

This was to avoid some "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west" scenario emerging.

It was precisely under the domineering suppression of these three titans—Xu Tianyuan, Kong Deming, and Linghu Yun—that the entire Royal Capital fell quiet overnight...

Because anyone who jumped out to cause trouble had all been slaughtered.

This was also what Bai Zhou had demanded.

After all, the most effective way to solve a problem is to solve the person who raised the problem.

Bai Zhou did not need to reason with others.

Nor did he need to balance the relationships between the various major powers.

Even less did he need to offer any explanation to other powers.

He only needed to let the obedient live and send the disobedient to reincarnation; naturally, all problems would be resolved effortlessly.
