Chapter 1370: Chapter 1365: The Person Mu Rongche Feels Guilty Toward

He brought her back, asking the elder king to dispatch an Imperial Physician to save her.

But the Imperial Physician, as if he had discovered some rare and exotic treasure, excitedly told the elder king that he had found a member of the witch clan!

The elder king’s eyes immediately shone, and he quickly dispatched soldiers, setting out for the mountain where he had been playing.

Driven by curiosity, he followed the elder king’s army there, thinking they were going on an adventure or treasure hunting, but to his surprise, they weren’t excavating treasure but unearthing dozens of witch clan members who had been in hiding for many years.

The witch clan, most adept at crafting poisons and gu, a hundred years ago wrought havoc on the Nine Continents due to their gu toxins, were collectively exterminated by the nations, severely weakened, and the clan members barely survived in hiding, ducking and weaving, silent and unseen, daring no longer to harm people with their gu poisons.

However, the elder king ordered their discovery not out of justice, to eliminate them, nor to stop their gu crafting.

But for his own selfish desires.

Rumor had it the witch clan extended their lives to over a hundred years by crafting poisons and practicing medicine, and the witch women, each one more beautiful than the next, surpassed Xi Shi in beauty, with skin like creamy jade and eyes like twinkling stars.

The elder king had all the witch clan men killed and commanded the remaining women to produce for him an elixir of eternal life, and also humiliated them daily for amusement.

Mu Rongche didn’t understand in his youth just what kind of disaster his impulsive rescue had brought upon the entire witch clan.

As he grew up, he began to regret his past actions a bit.

But he was just a prince of Lian Hai Kingdom and had no place to criticize the acts of Ji Yun Country’s elder king.

No matter how guilty he felt, it was of no help.

He kept inquiring, however, about the witch woman he had saved, and heard that she had been defiled by the elder king and bore him a daughter, but because years had passed and none of the witch women had been able to produce the life-extending elixir the elder king desired, in his rage he rewarded them to the military camp.

And the woman he had saved, being the most beautiful, died on the beds of Ji Yun Country’s ministers.

After Mu Rongche learned of this, he was inconsolably pained and set up a memorial tablet in his mansion to honor that witch woman.

He worried even more about the innocent and beautiful daughter she had given birth to.

They said the elder king hadn’t even provided her with the status of a legitimate resident of the harem; although her daughter was technically a princess, it seemed unlikely she would enjoy a pleasant life.

But things wouldn’t stop happening just because he worried, nor would they slow down.

He heard that the little girl had struggled immensely from birth, having nearly been killed several times, surviving only by eating leftovers within the harem.

Though Mu Rongche had not met the little girl, he already felt pity and guilt for her and swore to do everything he could to make amends to her in this life.

Just as he was planning to go to Ji Yun Country to bring the little girl back, his father had a falling out with Ji Yun Country’s elder king, causing issues in their countries’ relations and trade, and in a fit of anger, his father decided to wage war on Ji Yun Country.

He saw his chance and promptly volunteered. He made a request to his father; if they were victorious, his war spoils would be the elder king’s little daughter.

His father readily agreed.

He returned to his mansion, excited and ready for departure!

Rescuing the little girl and atoning for his guilt towards the witch woman was something he had dreamt of doing for years.

On the battlefield, he fought bravely at all costs, all to meet that little girl.

After three months of grueling battle, he barely managed to force the elder king’s surrender, but he fell ill.

After all, he was still just a sixteen-year-old boy, and this first battle had almost cost him half his life.

Fortunately, Ji Yun Country surrendered and agreed to give their princess to Lian Hai Kingdom as part of their war reparations.

He returned to the prince’s mansion to recuperate first, hoping to meet that little Miss who suffered so much when his spirit was fully restored after his wounds healed.

But he never imagined that destiny would play such a cruel joke on the little Miss.

Before he left for the campaign, he told his father that he specifically wanted the little princess from Ji Yun Country.

However, Ji Yun Country sent several titled princesses, all of whom his father kept for him, except for the beautiful little girl who was not titled as princess, standing beside the other princesses, treated like a spoil of war, a complimentary gift. His father took a liking to her and kept her.

He saw the princesses from Ji Yun Country, and when he heard none of them was her, he madly rushed to his father’s harem.

He would always remember the first time he saw that little girl.

She lay in a blood-stained bed, her eyes shattered, soulless.

At that time, his royal brother approached her with greedy eyes, coming closer and saying, “Such a spiritsome one…”

He stepped forward in anger and knocked out three of his royal brother’s teeth with one punch.

His royal brother lay unconscious on the ground, and he furiously carried her back to the prince’s mansion.

No matter how many Imperial Physicians he invited or how many maidservants he dispatched to attend to her, she remained resistant, screaming at the sight of people, and smashing things, sharp as a hedgehog bristling with spines.

Even if he approached, she would bite his hands bloody.

She had bitten him several times already.

But still, each time he approached her with patience and care, until she bit his hand again.

The bone in his little finger, previously bitten through by her, had yet to heal.

His subordinate advisers constantly urged him, “Your Highness, don’t waste your efforts on this brat. She’s a white-eyed wolf who will never grow tame! She’s even broken your bone; look at her eyes, she still wants to bite you!”

“It’s fine, I owe her. It’s only right to give her my life, let alone when she merely bites me.”

He said, laughing, and brought a bowl of bird’s nest to her, coaxing her softly, “Xiao Bai, would you like to eat some bird’s nest?”

Xiao Bai was the name he had given her.

Her world should have been pure and unblemished, but alas, it was he who had tarnished this pearl.

The Chen Ruobai of those years was merely the Xiao Bai from her mansion.

She eyed the approaching Mu Rongche warily, baring her sharp teeth. As Mu Rongche moved closer with the bird’s nest, she rushed to embrace him, pulling open his clothes and biting fiercely into his shoulder.

Mu Rongche’s deputy raised his sword, ready to strike, “You little cur! You think my lord Your Highness is easy to bully? Let go, now!”

“Get lost!”

Chen Ruobai’s young voice was fiercely menacing.

The deputy was about to strike but then heard Mu Rongche, with his back to him, roar, “Get lost!”

With a sense of grievance, the deputy could only put away his sword and step outside the room.

Chen Ruobai lay on top of Mu Rongche, hearing the man let out a laugh, her teeth ready to strike again, biting hard into another patch of unscathed skin on Mu Rongche.

“Hisss!”

As her teeth sank into flesh, Chen Ruobai did not hold back at all, quickly tasting the metallic tang of blood.

Mu Rongche let her bite, only reminding her, “My blood is not as tasty as this bird’s nest. You’ve probably never had it before; would you like to try some?”
