Chapter 6
Eunuch 6 (Tenth Prince Heaven's Punished)
That night, Jiang He went to the Tenth Prince's manor to act as a gentleman on the beam.
The Tenth Prince is extremely different from the other princes; he has a very obvious trait: extreme gluttony, so fat like a pig that he refuses to control his appetite.
Besides that, the Tenth Prince also inherited his forefathers' fine tradition and even surpassed them, indulging deeply in sadistic play.
Jiang He was almost frightened into falling from the roof by the miserable screams inside the room.
Inside the room, a naked man and woman were seen; the fat, pig-like fruit man actually held a whip in his hand!
That girl was a civilian woman forcibly taken back to the manor by the Tenth Prince; at this moment, besides her face being intact, her body either bore whip marks or burns from dripping hot wax, and her miserable screams continued.
"Even as a ghost… I will never let you go!" the girl cursed hatefully.
The Tenth Prince's pig‑like face was full of arrogant conceit, extremely rampant, saying, "Your whole family has turned into ghosts, and I, the prince, am fine right now!"

The whip had barbs; when it struck the body, little blood flowers blossomed. Combined with the girl's beautiful face contorted in pain, the Tenth Prince was utterly fascinated, picking at the blood flowers with his fingers while regretfully saying, "Your sister really can't stand playing—she died after just three nights. I hope you can last longer, after all, your blood tastes good……"
Jiang He felt disgusted and repulsed; this was completely some kind of perverse game—the female side weak, pitiful, and helpless, while the male side was three times her size and even held candles and whips, lethal weapons!
Jiang He, full of competitive spirit and knightly soul, kindly sprayed the bewildering smoke onto the Tenth Prince's face.
This pig‑like prince is no match for the old emperor; after counting to just five, he passed out.
When the girl saw the pig‑sized body of the Tenth Prince collapse, she was about to scream, but quickly bit her tongue to stay silent.
Fortunately, the Tenth Prince was accustomed to abusing women; screaming was normal for him, and he was especially perverted—he loved hearing women scream, so even if outsiders heard, they wouldn't come in, lest they disturb his mood.
Seeing the Tenth Prince fall, the girl didn't hesitate at all; she grabbed the nearby dagger and stabbed him repeatedly—over ten times—her face twisted with manic hatred, that ferocity utterly unlike a helpless girl.
All of this happened too fast; even Jiang He didn't have time to stop it.
After seeing the girl stab the Tenth Prince to death, she pointed the dagger at her own heart to kill herself; Jiang He realized what was happening and rushed to stop her.
His mood was terrible; scum dies and that's it—why risk his own life?
"Don't worry, I can heal your body and find you a quiet place to live; you needn't fear becoming a fugitive—no one can kill you." Jiang He assured her.
The girl both cried and laughed, clutching the blanket wrapped around her; the blanket quickly turned red from her blood.
All she wanted was to find her dead family and reunite with them on the Yellow Spring Road.
"My family are all dead; I want to go find them." The girl tears streaming, she turned her head away from the life‑saving medicine Jiang He offered, sobbing, "Thank you—living in this world is too hard! My sister was extremely beautiful, yet I never imagined the Tenth Prince, that beast, would take a liking to her and drag her into the manor… The Tenth Prince is violently cruel, and the backyard is full of corpses…"
"We are just ordinary commoners, not daring to oppose the Tenth Prince; we wanted to flee overnight, but he discovered us and wiped out our whole family, leaving only me and my sister—my sister was tortured to death by him, and my body is ruined… Life has no meaning; I want to go to the Yellow Spring Road to find my family."
Saying this, the girl's eyes flashed with ferocity; she wanted to go to the Yellow Springs and, on the way, capture the Tenth Prince's soul to kill him again!
Seeing that she was determined to die, Jiang He had no choice but to first knock her unconscious.

The system came over, saw the situation, and sighed, knowing the host had once again acted with kind‑hearted recklessness.
But never mind; even the system couldn't stand this, and the girl's family truly suffered too much.
After the system and Heaven's Way finished bargaining, Jiang He lit a stick of Yellow Millet Dream Incense, letting the girl enter the dreamland.
In the dream, the girl saw her family; their faces were no longer anguished, her parents smiled at her gently, her dead sister wore a beautiful dress with no wounds, smiling just as brightly.
"Er Ni, you must live well, otherwise our family will have no one to offer sacrifices and we'll become wandering ghosts."
"King Yan said that while we were alive we did no evil, so in the next life we can still be reborn into a good fate."
"We aren't going to be reborn now; we'll wait for Er Ni."
"King Yan promised us that in the next life we will still be a family."

Jiang He watched the girl shed tears in her sleep, the corners of his mouth turning up in a smile, knowing she wouldn't seek death again once she woke.
"Host, this time the World Consciousness is also a bit embarrassed, didn't it collect our bribes?" The system happily meowed, "The merit gained is truly great!"
The development of a plane world involves countless aspects; the overall direction remains unchanged, and the world consciousness does not concern itself with minor details. The tragic death of this girl's family has been repeated so many times over millennia that the world consciousness cannot even be stirred.
Sleeping—or cultivating during sleep—is a basic operation of the world consciousness; it occasionally opens its eyes to adjust a deviation, and for trivial matters that do not affect the overall situation, it treats them as nothing.
Below saints are all ants; an individual's disaster is, to it, nothing more than a speck of dust.
It's just because the host of its system is soft‑hearted, always meddling in trivial affairs, wanting to save every era and every person, which has added countless tasks and troubles for itself and the system.
But that is also the host's virtue; abundant kindness yields merit that is rarer than points, and it always reaps more than other task‑doers.
The system and the host complain, "The world consciousness loves to sleep; once it falls into a death‑sleep, a moment's inattention can have the world fall apart. Because the heavenly Dao of many worlds is weak, the chief deity ends up exhausted to the point of death."
Only then do these systems and the task‑performing agents arrive.
After sending away the unconscious girl, Jiang He began the cleanup.
He erased some traces he had left, grew increasingly angry, and decided to start causing trouble.
He tossed the soil bomb he had casually made while idle onto the burial site of the corpses in the tenth prince's manor backyard, and thoughtfully placed the tenth prince's corpse atop the soil bomb, making his death spectacular, which also gave it some flair.
Jiang He couldn't help rolling his eyes and vowed, "Got it. I'll make the old emperor suffer while alive, suffering forever—the more suffering, the better!"
"The tenth prince was struck by a heavenly thunderbolt, his body charred, yet the poor girls' skeletal remains were unharmed; clearly the heavens couldn't bear it."
Seeing the old emperor's painful, helpless rage, Jiang He felt an indescribable delight.
This emotion belonged to the original host, showing how much he despised the emperor.

His son died in such an undignified way that he could not even bury him in the imperial tomb.
"Those skeletal remains look like teenage girls, as if they were all brutally killed by the tenth prince."
The sovereign is humiliated, the minister dead; these useless ones actually caused the Son of Heaven to lose such a huge face!
