Chapter 140 Wasn't she dead?

During the banquet, people kept coming up to toast Mu Changge, but Mu Changge was not interested and ignored them completely.

To avoid the awkward situation, the nobles had no choice but to turn to Xue Qinghe for congratulations, since it was obvious to everyone.

After Xue Qinghe won over Mu Changge for the empire, given Xue Ye's attitude towards him today, it wouldn't be impossible for him to announce on the spot that Xue Qinghe is the heir to the throne.

Although Emperor Xue Ye would not be so hasty, the throne was already in Xue Qinghe's hands!

If male nobles wanted to befriend Mu Changge, then some female nobles certainly wouldn't be without similar thoughts either!

After all, a titled Douluo as young as Mu Changge is simply unheard of!

He even became sworn brothers with Xue Qinghe, the future emperor of Tiandou. His future was clearly visible!

It was said that Mu Changge had a great fondness for beautiful women, so they dressed up carefully before the banquet, hoping to catch Mu Changge's eye at this moment.

It's believed that as long as they get into Mu Changge's bed, their status will skyrocket!

However, when the time actually came, they realized they had been overthinking things.

Because Hu Liena and others had also changed into formal attire to attend the banquet, Mu Changge was surrounded by beautiful women.

The charming and alluring Hu Liena!

The proud and unruly Zhu Zhuyun!

Zhu Zhuqing, the ice queen!

Ning Rongrong has a noble and elegant demeanor!

Meng Yiran, filled with melancholy and sorrow!

Gentle and kind Ah Yin!

And the lively and energetic Xiao Wu!

They were already exceptional beauties, not to mention that under Mu Changge's care, they became even more perfect.

How could she possibly be compared to those ordinary, vulgar women?

Although the nobles were envious and jealous of Mu Changge's ability to collect so many high-quality beauties, 99% of those present dared not harbor any wicked thoughts.

After all, if this offends the newly recruited imperial retainer, it's not impossible that the enraged Emperor Xueye could confiscate their property.

Mu Changge had no other purpose in inviting the girls to this banquet than to prevent any more foolish girls from being attracted by them and coming out to disgust her.

It's fine once or twice, but after a while, not only Mu Changge, but even Hu Liena and the others found it annoying.

However, after they made their appearance here, I believe that no one in the entire Tiandou City would dare to provoke them.

In a corner of the banquet, Avalanche looked at his respected elder brother, his teeth practically grinding to powder.

His body was trembling, but it wasn't from anger, it was from fear!

Because he knew that Xue Qinghe would not let him go. Even if he pretended to be a playboy, the day the other party inherited the throne might be his death day.

"Uncle, what should I do?"

Completely panicked and disoriented, Avalanche had no idea what to do and could only look to Snowstar for help.

At this moment, Prince Xuexing's expression was not very good either, after all, he had always supported Xue Beng and opposed Xue Qinghe at every turn.

If Xue Qinghe were to temporarily spare Xue Beng after taking the throne, still thinking that killing Xue Beng would have a negative impact since he had just ascended to power, then he would definitely be the first one to be targeted.

At this moment, he was no longer thinking about how to help Xue Beng fight for the throne, but rather how to save his life after Xue Qinghe ascended to the throne.

Although they have Dugu Bo behind them, they can ask him to save them when the time comes.

Ultimately, Dugu Bo only owed him a personal favor; he couldn't possibly help them for a lifetime.

"Let's try to befriend Mu Changge. If we can win his friendship, we might be able to escape this calamity."

Although it was shameless and the chances of success were slim, Xuexing had no choice but to try it to save her life.

However, Xue Beng, seeing Mu Changge's lack of interest, hesitated and asked, "Uncle, are we really going to talk to Mu Changge?"

If 99% of the people present wouldn't dare to have any ulterior motives, then the avalanche would definitely be the remaining 1%.

"Those girls seem to be quite favored by him. Why not try to gain their friendship? Maybe that would lead to the same result?"

There's a saying that goes, "If you wear a mask for too long, you can't take it off."

Xue Beng played the role of a spoiled brat for so many years without Xue Qinghe discovering his true colors, which was not entirely due to his acting skills.

Rather, it was because, in the process of playing the role, he had gradually accepted his playboy persona and become a real playboy.

The fact that he said something so thoughtless at this moment is proof of that!

Snapped!

Prince Xuexing was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot, and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Fool! If you dare to do that, you won't even have to wait for Xue Qinghe to take over; you won't be leaving this banquet hall alive today!"

Prince Xuexing really has no idea what's going on in Xue Beng's head.

What time is it and you're still thinking about women?

Besides, even if you simply want to gain their friendship to save your life, in Mu Changge's eyes, aren't you just trying to steal his friends?

You were already abandoned by Emperor Xueye, and now you dare to court death. Your father might have to consider executing you to quell Mu Changge's anger.

This kid used to be really smart, how come he's become dumber than a pig now?

In fact, Prince Xuexing was wrong. If Xue Beng really dared to do that, Emperor Xueye wouldn't even need to think about it; Mu Changge could crush him on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng suddenly came to his senses and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in lingering fear.

"Now come with me to greet Mu Changge. Remember! Don't look around, and don't say anything thoughtless!"

"Okay, Uncle."

Seeing that Xue Beng had finally put aside his inappropriate thoughts and obediently followed behind her, Xue Xing nodded and walked towards Mu Changge.

However, it was clear that his instructions were completely unnecessary, because as soon as the two of them arrived in front of Mu Changge, before they even had a chance to say a word, Mu Changge impatiently uttered a single word.

"Get lost!"

Prince Xuexing's smile froze on his face, and Xue Qinghe almost burst out laughing when he saw this.

Xue Xing used to trip him up all the time, but now that he's finally seen her suffer a setback, Xue Qinghe would be doing a disservice if he didn't go up and show off a little.

"Prince Xuexing, you'd better do as I say, after all, my brother Mu has quite a temper."

Seeing Xue Qinghe's mocking gaze, Xue Xing's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but he couldn't show his anger at the banquet, so he could only force out an ugly smile.

"Your Highness is right. I will leave now."

Xue Beng trembled with fear the moment he saw Xue Qinghe approaching. After all, he knew that both of his older brothers had died at the hands of this eldest brother. If he hadn't pretended to be a spoiled prince, he probably would have been killed as well.

So he immediately followed Prince Snowstar as he turned to leave.

However, what no one saw was a beautiful woman in another corner, looking at Ah Yin's face with disbelief in her eyes.

"How is that possible? Wasn't she dead?"

After muttering something to herself, the elegant woman gritted her teeth and quietly left the venue.

In the final moment before her figure disappeared, a strange smile appeared on Mu Changge's lips...
