Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

"What do you want from me?"

Currently, this was the biggest question in Yu Fei's mind. The man before her had kidnapped her. However, he didn't kill her, even when he had an opportunity. This didn't make sense to her.

Moreover, she wasn't naive enough to think that the Third Prince had a change of heart and somehow suddenly awakened his morality.

"Information."

Xu Shan only spoke one word in response.

In reality, he didn't want much from the woman. She was more of a headache than anything, especially her Celestial Spirit which was dangerous. However, he couldn't tell her that he only left her alive because a mysterious spirit told him to.

No matter how he ended up in this situation, he had to use it to his advantage! And what better advantage than to know his future enemies through her?!

What the world lacked the most now was information about the Celestial Palace. Only very little was known about them. No one knew what their exact strength was, or what secrets the Celestial Palace hid from the world.

No matter why the Saintess was in his room, now that she was here, he had already become an enemy of the Celestial Palace even if he didn't want to.

He could kill her but that didn't mean the Celestial Palace wasn't going to find out about him in the future. Killing the Saintess and sending the body outside the Empire wasn't the answer either after all.

Once someone located her body near the Eternal Dynasty, it wasn't hard to guess who could be behind it!

Many people knew the Saintess was in the Royal Capital. If the next morning, her body was found outside the Dynasty, no matter how stupid the Celestial Palace was, it would be too obvious that a great force was behind this.  No one else could send the Saintess out of the Dynasty in such a short time.

There were only a few powers in the Eternal Dynasty and with his reputation, her death was going to be pinned to him!

That's why his initial plan was to first hide the Saintess's aura with the Aura Ring. That way, no one could locate her exact whereabouts.

Moreover, after a few weeks, even if she was killed outside the Dynasty, no one could link that to the Eternal Dynasty. A few weeks were enough for even a normal bandit to reach the borders of the Dynasty after all!

Even though that was his initial plan, he also understood that it wasn't perfect. The flames of this incident were going to reach him, no matter what he did! It was only a matter of time.

He was already fated to go against the Celestial Palace and he didn't have any second thoughts about it. So before the Celestial Palace came to him, he wanted to deal with them!

If someone else had known that a man who hadn't even awakened his Celestial Spirit wanted to destroy the Celestial Palace, they would've thought that he had gone crazy.

In fact, even Xu Shan knew how hard this task was. If it was his old self, he would've been cursing himself for having such a dangerous thought. All his thoughts would've been chaotic, making him sweat by now. However, it was different now.

His face didn't have even a single ripple of emotion as he thought of such a thing. His thoughts were clear and concise. He didn't know how he was going to do it, but that didn't matter.

He had received this new life in exchange for his father's life. No matter who it was that threatened his life, he wasn't going to let it go, even if it meant destroying the entire Celestial Palace!

"You want information?" The Saintess asked, slightly taken aback. However, it made sense to her. If he was after some information, it made sense that he kept her alive.

But what information did he want? That was the main question in her mind. For some reason, she had a really bad feeling about this.

"What information do you want?" Her expressions became solemn. She hoped that it wasn't what she thought it was.

Unfortunately, her face only darkened when she heard Xu Shan's following words. "I want information about the Celestial Palace. I want to know everything that you know... Not a single detail should be missing."

"You're asking me to betray the Celestial Palace?" Killing intent flashed in Yu Fei's eyes.

The Celestial Palace was her home! She was born inside the Celestial Palace! Her parents gave their lives to protect that place! She couldn't even bear the thought of betraying the Celestial Palace just to save her life.

Xu Shan was completely unaffected by her killing intent, despite being a mortal. He didn't know why, but just as he was starting to feel uncomfortable under her killing intent, a strange feeling came from his heart.

It was a strange strength that made him completely unaffected by the killing intent. It was as if it was devouring this extremely weak killing intent around him while mockingly asking, 'How dare it show such weak tricks before the Monarch!'

"Betrayal is a strong word, isn't it?" Xu Shan ignored her killing intent and continued, "I just have a heart that seeks knowledge. I want to know more about the fascinating Celestial Palace. I mean no harm."

"Do you think I will believe you?"

Yu Fei wasn't scared of death, if it was to protect her home. She had spent all her life there. Her elder brother stayed there as well, along with all the Elders who taught her everything she knew. Even if there was a small chance that it might risk their safety, she wasn't willing to do it!

"Do you think you can stop me?" Xu Shan calmly asked in return. "Either you'll tell me willingly, or I'll have to ask someone to use Soul Search on you. The only difference is that the latter would be so painful that it'd make you wish you were dead."

"Oh right, before you think about killing yourself, remember... Even when you're dead, we can still use Soul Search upto five minutes after your death. So your actions will be as useless as the existence of the Celestial Palace."

Xu Shan didn't give even a single moment for Yu Fei to gather her thoughts as he kept cutting off all her paths without even moving a single finger.
