Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 63
What does this mean?
The black-clad men were stunned, never expecting Gu Nanyan to dare challenge them. This woman was insane—wasn’t she afraid of death?
The Tiger Masked Man’s heart sank. "Gu Nanyan, are you trying to fight to the death? We brothers live by the blade—life and death mean nothing to us. But you’re all big celebrities, delicate and pampered. Even a scratch would have you wailing for days.
You’re porcelain; we’re rubble. I don’t believe you’d dare clash with us head-on!"
Having said this, the Tiger Masked Man stared fixedly at Gu Nanyan, not daring to blink for fear of missing even the slightest shift in her expression.
Gu Nanyan remained silent, standing tall and straight, not even sparing the Tiger Masked Man a glance—as if he were nothing more than a barking dog.
This dismissive attitude made the Tiger Masked Man grind his teeth in fury.
Damn it, damn it! He was livid! As the infamous "Tiger" of the mercenary world, respected by all, how could he be outplayed by some little girl today?
He gnashed his teeth in rage.
The two sides stood in tense silence, neither speaking.
After what felt like an eternity, Gu Nanyan suddenly pressed her temples and sighed, "What are you still waiting for?"
The moment she spoke, everyone froze, unsure who she was addressing.
Then, in the next second, the black-clad man closest to the Tiger Masked Man suddenly raised his right hand and struck the back of his leader’s neck with brutal force.
The Tiger Masked Man crumpled to the ground, unconscious.
The scene sent shockwaves through the crowd.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What the hell just happened?
Why were they turning on each other?
Online viewers were equally stunned, gaping at the screen in disbelief.
Before the other black-clad men could react, the traitorous one had already seized a machine gun and aimed it at them.
[Holy shit! Betrayal!]
[What a plot twist!]
The netizens finally snapped out of their daze.
Gu Nanyan patted the tiger, signaling the animals to clear a path, then directed the other guests to tie up the remaining black-clad men.
Only the traitor—still holding the machine gun—remained standing.
Teacher Qi and the others had no idea what was going on with this man and hesitated to approach, all eyes turning to Gu Nanyan.
"Put the gun away. You’re scaring them," Gu Nanyan said coolly.
The black-clad man obediently lowered the weapon.
No sooner had he done so than the Tiger Masked Man groaned and stirred awake. When he saw the traitor standing beside Gu Nanyan, he nearly spat blood in rage.
He never imagined his own man would betray him!
"Fox! You dare turn against me?" the Tiger Masked Man snarled through clenched teeth.
The black-clad man wearing the fox mask said nothing, standing silently behind Gu Nanyan like a statue.
The Tiger Masked Man turned to Gu Nanyan, seething. "I underestimated you. You’re good—damn good! To think you could turn one of my own. Losing to you… I have no regrets!"
"Was it really that hard?" Gu Nanyan lifted her gaze slightly, as if genuinely puzzled. "I offered him 50 million. Could you match that?"
The Tiger Masked Man choked.
Gu Nanyan continued, "With me, he’s turning over a new leaf—a witness for justice. With you? Only death awaits. Anyone with half a brain would make the same choice."
The Tiger Masked Man was so enraged he nearly coughed up blood. Swallowing the metallic taste in his mouth, he growled, "When did you turn Fox against me?"
"Just now. To be precise, one second before he knocked you out."
The Tiger Masked Man: "…"
How was that possible?
"Didn’t you smell it?" Gu Nanyan tilted her head, genuinely curious. "Shouldn’t someone in your line of work have sharper instincts? Didn’t you notice the strange scent in the air?
I released a drug—one that weakens the body without detection.
From the start, my advantage wasn’t the animals."
Gu Nanyan raised a slender finger and tapped her temple. "It was this. I have a brain. You don’t."
Gu Nanyan always thought three steps ahead, especially in life-or-death situations. Did they really think she wouldn’t have a backup plan?
"Lock them up."
Too lazy to waste more words on the Tiger Masked Man, Gu Nanyan issued the order and turned to leave.
As she walked away, the black-clad man called Fox raised his pistol and fired several shots at the drones hovering overhead, blasting them all out of the sky.
With that, the live broadcast came to an abrupt end.
Just then, the communicator in Fox’s pocket buzzed—an incoming call from Meng Li.
Fox answered, listened with a frown, then hurried to Gu Nanyan’s side.
"Miss Gu, it’s President Meng. He wants to speak with you."
Gu Nanyan took the communicator from Fox and held it to her ear. Before she could speak, Meng Li’s amused voice crackled through.
"Gu Nanyan, I won’t forget you!"
"I won’t remember you. You’re not worth remembering," Gu Nanyan replied flatly.
Meng Li: "…"
Stunned by her bluntness, Meng Li paused before bursting into laughter. "Interesting. Truly interesting. Gu Nanyan, has anyone ever told you how fascinating you are?"
"Has anyone ever told you how stupid you are?"

Meng Li’s smile froze.
"What did you say? Say it again," he hissed, voice dripping with menace.
Gu Nanyan sighed. "See? Stupid. Can’t even understand plain words."
Meng Li: "…"
Was this woman’s tongue dipped in poison? Her words were vicious!
Meng Li was furious, so much so that he nearly hurled the communicator away. But there was something inexplicably compelling about Gu Nanyan—something that made him want to understand why she called him stupid.
He forced himself to calm down. Don’t let her manipulate you. Don’t let a woman dictate your emotions.
"Stupid? How?" he demanded.
"Too many ways to list."
Meng Li: "…"
"But since I’m in a good mood, I’ll enlighten you. If you want to understand human nature, read a book. There’s no need to orchestrate such a crude game.
Your sample size is too small, your experiment design is flawed, and your subjects are all wrong. Everything you’re so proud of is garbage.
Actually, I have a question. Didn’t humans evolve? Why haven’t you?
Next time you’re bored, go look in a mirror. Study Zhu Bajie instead."
Meng Li: "…"
Before he could respond, Gu Nanyan ended the call.
Meng Li was left bewildered. Though he spoke Chinese, some phrases eluded him.
He summoned his translator.
"What does [Didn’t humans evolve? Why haven’t you?] mean?"
The translator: "…"
Would telling the truth get him killed?
Swallowing hard, the translator stammered, "Uh… it means you’re… unique. Special. As charming as an animal."
"And [Next time you’re bored, go look in a mirror. Study Zhu Bajie]?"
The translator wiped sweat from his brow. "Zhu Bajie is a legendary general in Chinese mythology, commanding millions of troops. She’s saying you’re as mighty as him."
Meng Li’s lips curled. So she was complimenting him.
Zhu Bajie… sounded impressive.
