I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 445 Crazy
【I've got it! Let me see...】

Chu Liuzheng stared intently at the screen.

Upon receiving news of Yin Lanci's death, Prince Cheng was shocked and wanted to recruit the remaining Dragon Shadow Guards to his cause. The Dragon Shadow Guards refused to betray him and wanted to find their only remaining master, the young prince. Prince Cheng, unwilling to let go of this prize, devised a plan to capture the Dragon Shadow Guards and force them to submit.

The leader of the Dragon Shadow Guards had anticipated this. He feigned agreement, playing along with Prince Cheng, and then seized the opportunity to escape with his guards... well, they were unfortunately caught in an ambush laid by Li Ze. In the end, only the leader and four other Dragon Shadow Guards managed to escape, their whereabouts unknown.

[Tsk tsk, General Li's tactic of lurking behind the enemy is brilliant! The Dragon Shadow Guards are truly caught in a dilemma, with wolves in front and tigers behind. If they choose Prince Cheng, they will die if they don't submit; if they choose to escape, they will play right into General Li's hands, and their fate will still be the same—death.]

Five people escaped; even with their superior martial arts skills, they couldn't cause much trouble. Now, they're being hunted down by the Imperial Guards. If they don't go into hiding, they'll probably be caught by the Imperial Guards very soon.

[Alas! If the Dragon Shadow Guards were willing to abandon their evil ways and embrace the light, the tyrant, being a man who values ​​talent, might spare their lives and provide them with training as part of the secret guards. After all, they're part of the same system, and perhaps they could learn from each other's strengths and compensate for each other's weaknesses. But who can blame them when the Dragon Shadow Guards are so stubbornly loyal to the Yong Dynasty's royal family? No matter how you look at it, their fate is sealed.]

However, if the Dragon Shadow Guards could so easily switch masters, they wouldn't be the fearsome army of the night.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuzheng silently erected a monument for the Dragon Shadow Guards.

She calmed herself down and scrolled back through the messages.

What about those beauties? Will Prince Cheng eventually become a puppet?

[Puppets, puppets, puppets... They're here!]

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately clicked to take a look.

I almost popped my eyes out after reading just a few lines.

[Holy crap! Prince Cheng has gone mad!!]

Xiao Jingfan: !!

Wait, who's gone mad?

Prince Cheng?!
How did they go crazy??
Hmm... so those beauties who used witchcraft lived longer than the fake Prince Rui.

[After failing to capture the Dragon Shadow Guard, Prince Cheng, feeling depressed, sought solace in his beloved beauty. Just as he was reaching his climax, the snow-white, naked beauty suddenly exploded into a spray of bright red blood, mixed with chunks of flesh, splattering Prince Cheng from head to toe… Eek~ What kind of R-rated horror scene is this?! I'm going to die!!]

Chu Liuzheng felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shut down the system, but he was still terrified by the images that flashed through his mind, and his face turned slightly pale.

Xiao Jingfan, who was eavesdropping, pursed his lips, feeling a bit nauseous.

He picked up the tea beside him and took two sips; the refreshing aroma of the tea barely suppressed the nausea he was feeling.

Chu Liuzheng simultaneously poured tea, took a sip from the cup, but the image that flashed through his mind still lingered.

She decisively put down her teacup, turned her head to stare at Xiao Jingfan's handsome face, which was so strikingly beautiful it was almost demonic, and tried her best to clear her eyes and her mind.

This method is quite effective for those who are obsessed with appearances.

[As expected, the tyrant's face is much more pleasing to the eye; it instantly makes me feel less disgusted. How could his eyes, nose, and mouth be so perfectly proportioned?]

Chu Liuzheng watched intently, a smile unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Xiao Jingfan suddenly put down his teacup and looked over. When their eyes met, Chu Liuzheng's eyes crinkled, and he decided to take the initiative to seek some benefits for himself.

So she got up and sat down next to Xiao Jingfan, hugging her waist with both hands, tilting her head to the side, and resting it against his strong chest.

The air is filled with a faint sandalwood scent, calming and soothing, perfect for this time of day.

Xiao Jingfan casually pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her hair, asking knowingly, "What's wrong?"

"Hold me for a while." Chu Liuzheng secretly touched his abs under his thin shirt, his voice as sweet and soft as honey.

[Hehe, while the tyrant is impotent, I'll flirt with him however I want.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..." This woman, just you wait!
He grabbed the hand that was secretly groping him, raised it to his lips, and bit down on the delicate pink fingertip. He didn't actually bite it, but just held it in his snow-white teeth and gently rubbed it.

It doesn't hurt, but it's numb and itchy, which is even more uncomfortable than pain.

Chu Liuzheng tried to pull his hand back, but not only was he unable to retract it, his ear also got hurt.

"Um...please don't..."

Her slender fingers gripped the dark fabric of her clothes, Chu Liuzheng bit her lip, her lips trembling slightly. Her fair earlobes gradually flushed red, as vibrant as the sunset.

The saying goes, "You lose both your wife and your army."

Chu Liuzheng only wanted to gain some advantage, but he didn't expect Xiao Jingfan to take advantage of him so much. He must get his revenge next time!
It took a while for the heat on her face to subside. She patted her face and suddenly remembered that she had only read half of the gossip.

She quickly opened it and continued reading.

I just saw...this.

She didn't have the courage to read the words that made up the horrifying images again, and just kept reading.

[...Prince Cheng was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted. After being revived, Prince Cheng spoke incoherently and did not recognize anyone. After being diagnosed by several doctors, it was determined that Prince Cheng had gone mad from excessive shock...]

[Oh, so that's how it goes. That makes sense; what sane, mentally sound human being wouldn't go insane after experiencing something like this?]

Xiao Jingfan silently expressed his agreement.

Although Prince Cheng brought this upon himself, Chu Liuzheng still couldn't help but light a room full of candles for him.

[The people of Prince Cheng's residence intentionally concealed the fact that Prince Cheng had gone mad, claiming to the outside world that he had only caught a cold and were trying to cure him. Unfortunately, the doctors urgently summoned to the residence were all helpless... Wait, I seem to remember seeing a post about someone curing madness.]

Who could it be...?

Chu Liuzheng cut out and flipped over with a swish.

[Madness, madness, madness... Oh! It's the Ghost Doctor! The Ghost Doctor once cured a wealthy man who had gone mad!]

[Dr. Feng is the apprentice of the Ghost Doctor. As the saying goes, the student surpasses the master; if the Ghost Doctor can cure it, can't Dr. Feng do the same?]

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingfan's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to make plans in his mind.

[Speaking of which, Prince Cheng has gone mad. Can a madman become a puppet?]

Chu Liuzheng continued scrolling down, taking a while to find what she wanted. She clicked in and quickly scanned it, but her eyes suddenly widened when she was halfway through.

[Funny! Prince Cheng wasn't scared mad!]

Yin Lanci planted the Gu poison in Prince Cheng's brain. The Gu beauty served as nourishment, and when the nourishment exploded, the Gu worms in Prince Cheng's brain also exploded. The Gu fluid seeped into his brain, and although Prince Cheng survived by chance, the damage was too severe, which is why he went mad.

[This... Yin Lanci never intended for Prince Cheng to live from the very beginning.]

Yin Lanci's ruthlessness once again terrified Chu Liuzheng. If the person hadn't already died and could no longer use these strange and poisonous things to cause trouble, she wouldn't have dared to imagine what the crazy Yin Lanci would have done in the end.

The images of the monsters she had seen on Thousand-Foot Cliff flashed before her eyes, and her heart pounded. She swallowed hard, still shaken.

Xiao Jingfan looked at her without showing any emotion.

Yin Lanci's plans are both grand and meticulous, with each step linked to the next. If she were to continue her efforts for a few more years, given her madness, she might very well turn the entire Dasheng Dynasty upside down.

Fortunately...
