Chapter 844

441 Go for it!

"Your mother is dead."

Looking at the Tin-Plated Wang Hou on the ground, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but sigh.

This sentence wasn't an insult; it was simply stating a fact.

The Tin-Plated Wang Hou, having fallen from the sky, crashed directly onto the stone slabs beside the garden, shattering into pieces; even some parts flew into the garden, and on a nearby treetop hung a big iron butt wearing red underwear—she was undoubtedly dead beyond all doubt.

"..."

How... how could this happen...

Seeing the Tin-Plated Wang Hou smashed into seven or eight pieces on the ground, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who had just woken up and whose mind was still dazed, moved his lips slightly, feeling a bit like crying.

But after gathering his emotions and letting his mouth turn down twice, he found he couldn't quite cry, so he could only stare blankly at the fragments of the Tin-Plated Wang Hou.

Even though he understood from Hearing Li Ang's explanation that this big red tin doll was likely the real Wang Hou, the difference between a tin doll and a human was still too great, making his emotional preparation inadequate, so he couldn't cry at that moment.

This was truly... an entirely unexpected development.

Although his impression of this Wang Hou was very poor and his impression of Watching Watching Qiaoshuya was also quite average, since the dead take precedence, Li Ang, whose moral standards were passable, did not utter any harsh words; instead, he helped pick up the Tin-Plated Wang Hou's iron head and handed it to the freckled prince, who looked completely bewildered.

"Take it."

Because the Tin Guards' senses were special and did not recognize Lu Ke, who was temporarily borrowing Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's body, the plan to replace the Guard Leader had already failed completely.

But the good news was that although the Tin Guards did not recognize the prince's body, their obedience to him, the Prince, was astonishingly high.

It seemed that after being turned into tin, for these tin people, the priority of "labels" such as identity, status, and profession was directly raised to the highest level; orders from those with higher duties and status became unchallengeable.

If these were normal guards, it would be a million times impossible for him, the Prince, to order them off duty, but for the guards turned into tin dolls, as long as his orders did not conflict with those of someone of higher status, his commands must be carried out.

So now, it seemed Lu Ke was unnecessary; he could command these guards to leave their posts, giving the rebels lying in wait outside the palace a chance to rush in, which could be considered a blessing in disguise... or perhaps a blessing from a blessing?

Glancing at Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who had taken the Tin-Plated Wang Hou's iron head and sat dazedly on the ground, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Although thinking this was somewhat cruel, for him, the Wang Hou's death was indeed a good thing; if she died due to an anomaly, that was even better.

However, although Watching Watching Qiaoshuya and his mother were detestable, for the freckled prince who was only in his teens, witnessing his mother's sudden death was still somewhat cruel.

"My condolences."

Considering they were all human, Hearing Li Ang patted Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's shoulder to offer comfort, then turned and walked toward the bedroom door, preparing to check on the princess's situation, but...

"Ahhh!!!!!!!"

Accompanied by a hysterical scream, the iron head in Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's hands suddenly opened its eyes, and with a face full of rage, it shouted:

"I will kill you! Damn Veronica! How dare you push me off the building!"

"Holy crap!"

Wait... your butt was hanging on a tree and you didn't die? Your soul showed no movement just now!

Startled, Hearing Li Ang turned back, looked at the miraculously revived iron head cursing loudly in Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's arms, and spoke with extreme speechlessness:

"You're still alive?"

"Of course I'm still alive! If she's not dead, why should I be... You are... that Lionheart Duke?"

Blinking the ruby eyes attached to its face, the Tin-Plated Wang Hou's face revealed a trace of venomous hatred; suddenly, she opened her mouth and shouted with eyes full of malice:

"Good! I now order you! Go upstairs immediately and strangle that damn..."

Wait! You want to order me?!

Hearing the Tin-Plated Wang Hou's words, Hearing Li Ang's eyebrows shot up, remembering the Tin Guards at the bedroom door and their extraordinary obedience to him, the Prince.

Not good!

Although he looked human now, he was only human in his own eyes; in reality, he had already been affected by that anomaly, and according to the "Tin People" rules he had figured out, a tin person of higher status could easily command a tin person of lower status.

And in terms of status, the Wang Hou, second only to the old king, was clearly one rank higher than him, the Prince chosen by the princess, so he absolutely could not let her finish her order!

Go for it!

In Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's bewildered gaze, Hearing Li Ang, who had turned to leave, suddenly twisted his body and raised his leg with the speed of a rabbit leaping and a hawk striking, delivering a powerful, violent kick that directly struck the head he was holding, sending the Tin-Plated Wang Hou flying.

With ten points of contamination value, Hearing Li Ang's physical attributes had far exceeded the scope of ordinary humans; the force of this kick was astonishing, the speed terrifying, even producing a fierce sound of wind tearing through the air.

Facing this kick that surpassed human limits, the Tin-Plated Wang Hou, with eyes full of hatred, didn't even have time to scream before being kicked squarely on the nose; her entire body... her entire head soared like a meteor, leaving a trail of afterimages as it flew straight into the palace garden, disappearing completely from sight.

"?!?!?!!!"

Watching his own mother, the unlucky freckled prince, who had been kicked away by someone and vanished in an instant into the iron garden, was completely stunned.

From the Tin-Plated Wang Hou crashing down with a bang to launching into the sky with a thud, although only two short minutes had passed, for Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, it was an eerie experience of unparalleled ups and downs.

Within these two short minutes, the emotional ups and downs in Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's heart were indescribable; if forced to summarize, they could be divided into three stages.

My mother is dead?

My mother is alive?!

My mother flew away!!!

"Splash!"

Only after hearing the sound of a heavy object falling into a lake from somewhere far away did the freckled prince, whose mother had died, then come back to life, and then taken off from the spot within two minutes, finally snap out of his daze; he hurriedly scrambled over the fence in panic, shouting wildly as he ran toward the artificial lake in the garden.

"Mother!!!!!!!"

"..."

This isn't my fault; your mother started it first.

Watching Watching Watching Qiaoshuya rush into the garden crying and shouting, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Kicking someone's mother away in front of her face was indeed unusually excessive, but if he hadn't kicked her and let the Tin-Plated Wang Hou finish her order, it would have been far worse than just excessive; this kick was purely her own doing.

"I have a question for you."

After quickly walking back to the bedroom door, Hearing Li Ang said to the Tin Guards still standing guard there:

"What happens if you tin people go into water? Will you die?"

"That won't happen."

The Iron-Skin guard shook his head and said:

"They will just rust. If they stay too long, it will be difficult to move before they are polished again."

That settles it.

Hearing Li Ang nodded and immediately gave an order:

"Do me a favor. The Queen has fallen into the lake. Go summon all the guards to come in, have them go to the garden, and help Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya fish the Queen out. Once she is out, have them stay inside and swim underwater for a while before coming up.

Also, find two fast-running guards to go to the street at the palace gate and ask if there are any rebel ambushers. If there are, tell them they can now bring their people and charge into the palace."

"Understood, I'll go right now!"
