Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

The laughter of the man in black, though suppressed, was clearly heard by Zhou Hao Chen, who was tailing him in the silent night.

Me, having an affair with Madam Shen?

Who started this rumor?

If I, your lord, catch him, I'll break his dog legs!

Also, you with your shifty eyes, you want to control my little brother?

Truly overestimating yourself!

Zhou Hao Chen was too lazy to even retort.

A Fourth Realm martial artist, what makes him think that controlling Madam Shen and using her to pry into his information could escape his eyes?

Does he really think I'm blind?

He lightly tapped his toes and entered the almshouse.

Taking out the sleeping powder, he whispered.

"Thirteenth Prince, wait a moment, it will be your turn soon."

"My turn?"

"What's my turn for?"

Zhou Hao Chen's voice suddenly rang out, startling like a ghost knocking on the door in the silent night.

The man in black was immediately startled.

He turned his head sharply, seeing an ordinary face that would be indistinguishable in a crowd, lacking any unique features.

"Damn it!"

"Are you tired of living, kid?"

"Dare to impersonate the Thirteenth Prince to scare me?"

The man in black glared fiercely at Zhou Hao Chen, wishing he could cut him into a thousand pieces with his eyes.

"Since you've discovered my secret…"

Before the man in black could finish speaking, Zhou Hao Chen shook his head, too lazy to waste words with him.

"Dragon Coiling Claw!"

A golden dragon claw phantom appeared in the air, grabbing towards the man in black with extreme speed.

The man in black's pupils suddenly constricted, the golden dragon claw growing larger and larger in his eyes.

Immediately after, darkness enveloped him.

Before fainting, he only had one thought in his mind.

"Damn? A royal family's unique skill? Could he really be the Thirteenth Prince?"

After knocking out the man in black, Zhou Hao Chen didn't alarm the almshouse. Instead, he carried the man in black to the small woods where he had been cultivating.

Slap—

Slap—

Slap—

Three slaps later, he directly woke up the man in black.

"I ask, you answer!"

Zhou Hao Chen said coldly, without any superfluous words.

The man in black's bones were softer than Zhou Hao Chen had expected, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Expert, ask away, I'll tell you everything."

"My background, tonight's operation plan, as long as you're interested, I'll tell you everything I know."

Why isn't he following the routine!

The man in black was confused, feeling like he had encountered an idiot tonight.

He was actually interested in the Thirteenth Prince's scandalous gossip.

And to make matters worse, he wasn't even this idiot's opponent, being subdued in one move, which was very embarrassing.

Slap—

A crisp slapping sound rang out again in the night.

"Are you going to answer me or not?"

"Expert, spare me, expert, spare me, I'll talk right now!"

The man in black, awakened by the slap, immediately came back to his senses and said in a pleading voice.

"Expert, I heard it from the people of Wanping County Yamen."

"The Yamen's people? Who specifically?"

"Who specifically? From the county magistrate to the constables, they all say so."

"The entire Yamen knows that Madam Shen and the Thirteenth Prince have an affair."

Hearing this, black lines appeared on Zhou Hao Chen's forehead.

The county magistrate of Wanping County is Chu Mengfang, right?

If I ascend the throne, the first imperial decree will be to send you to raise pigs.

The man in black watched Zhou Hao Chen's expression change several times, secretly slandering in his heart.

"He knows the royal family's cultivation methods and is concerned about the Thirteenth Prince's scandals."

"This person, could he really be related to the Thirteenth Prince?"

Just as the man in black was pondering in his heart, Zhou Hao Chen continued to ask.

"What is your purpose in controlling the almshouse and Madam Shen?"

"Expert, controlling the almshouse is to gather information about the secret realm. This wasn't my idea; it was ordered by the higher-ups."

"The higher-ups, who are the higher-ups?"

"Kui Niu!"

Kui Niu?

The Kui Niu from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?

The Kui Niu that went extinct countless years ago?

Zhou Hao Chen twitched his lips, guessing that the Kui Niu the man in black was talking about should be some kind of code name.

"Who is Kui Niu?"

"Kui Niu is the boss!"

Zhou Hao Chen: …

Slap!

The sound of a slap rang out.

The man in black's face was slapped red and swollen.

The man in black felt wronged. Where did he say anything wrong?

Kui Niu is the boss!

"Since you have a leader, you must know what your organization is called."

"Xuanyuan Blood!"

"What? What is your organization called?"

When Zhou Hao Chen heard the words "Xuanyuan Blood", his pupils suddenly constricted.

A random man in black he caught was actually a member of Xuanyuan Blood. What a coincidence.

"Xuanyuan Blood!"

"It's a secret organization, not very famous. It's normal that you don't know it, expert."

"This… expert, is there anything else you want to know? Just ask."

"Once you understand, can you let me go?"

"Tonight is my first time on a mission. If I don't pass the assessment, I'll be expelled from the organization."

Zhou Hao Chen: …

For some reason, ever since he learned that the man in black in front of him was from Xuanyuan Blood, he felt that the organization's image had suddenly disappeared.

"How do you usually contact Kui Niu?" Zhou Hao Chen asked.

"With a strange jade stone."

"A strange jade stone? How strange?"

"Um—a bit like a communication talisman, but its function is much more powerful than a communication talisman."

"Not only can it transmit messages one-on-one, but it can also allow everyone to chat together, and it can ignore distance. People from all over the world can connect together."

Zhou Hao Chen: ???

How does it sound more and more like a Penguin group?

"Take out your jade stone," Zhou Hao Chen said sternly, ordering.

The man in black was quite cooperative, directly taking out the jade stone he mentioned.

At this moment, the light on the jade stone flickered, emitting a "di di di" sound.

This "di di di" sound was like it was carved into Zhou Hao Chen's bones.

Too familiar!

The notification sound when Penguin receives a message can't be said to be exactly the same, but it can only be said to be indistinguishable.

Even if he turned into ashes, Zhou Hao Chen could remember it clearly.

"Heh heh—"

Zhou Hao Chen sneered. Needless to say, this must be the work of his fellow villager—the Great Yu Taizu.

Otherwise, who would be so bored as to create such a fantastical version of a Penguin group?

Zhou Hao Chen looked down at the message that appeared on the jade stone.

[Kui Niu: Jia Chen, have you controlled the almshouse? Reply as soon as possible!]

Zhou Hao Chen glanced at the man in black, who immediately said.

"Expert, Jia Chen is me."

"The one speaking is my boss, Kui Niu."

"If I don't reply, Kui Niu will become suspicious."

A cold light flashed in Zhou Hao Chen's eyes, directly scaring the man in black into kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Expert, please believe me. A timid person like me would definitely not have any wicked thoughts."

"Whatever you say, I will reply with, without any disloyalty."

Although the man in black said this, Zhou Hao Chen didn't believe a single punctuation mark of what he said.

"How do you use this jade stone?"

"Uh—expert, this jade stone is bound to me. You can't use it."

"Only my aura can reply."

"Even if you say it, you can't refine this jade stone."

"Refining this jade stone requires using the jade stone in the hand of the boss… that is, Kui Niu, in coordination to refine it."

The man in black said carefully, afraid that the expert in front of him would have wicked thoughts and want to replace him.

"Aura verification?"

Zhou Hao Chen frowned. He still believed in this point.

After all, isn't aura verification the Xuanhuan version of fingerprint recognition and face recognition?

This is good news for infiltrating Xuanyuan Blood, and he doesn't want to let it go.

Zhou Hao Chen took out the Heart-Controlling Gu and placed it in front of the man in black.

"Eat it!"

"Can I not eat it?"

"What do you say? If you want to see King Yama, of course you don't have to eat it," Zhou Hao Chen sneered.

The man in black showed an expression of facing death, closed his eyes, and swallowed the Heart-Controlling Gu.

Soft and glutinous.

It wasn't very difficult to swallow.

I seem to be fine, the man in black felt fortunate in his heart.

But he didn't know that the Heart-Controlling Gu was parasitizing in his soul.

It can be said that his soul had already been hollowed out.

Once the Heart-Controlling Gu left his body, his soul would shatter.

"Reply!"

"Just say it's already successful!"

With the Heart-Controlling Gu, Zhou Hao Chen could control the man in black's will at all times, and he wasn't afraid of him having any wicked thoughts.

Once the man in black had any unusual behavior, Zhou Hao Chen could take over the man in black's will through the Heart-Controlling Gu.

The man in black wanted to reply according to what Zhou Hao Chen said.

But the next second, a surprising thing happened.

He couldn't use the jade stone.

"You… what did you… do to me?"

"Why can't I use the jade stone!"

The man in black spoke incoherently. It was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing.

He panicked!

If he didn't reply, he would most likely be judged as failing the mission!

Zhou Hao Chen also frowned, thinking about the situation in front of him.

"Aura judgment!"

"Is it because of the aura of the Heart-Controlling Gu?"

Zhou Hao Chen had some guesses in his heart.

The Heart-Controlling Gu controlled the man in black's soul, causing his aura to have subtle differences.

Before, it was just the pure aura of the man in black.

Now, the man in black's aura was mixed with the aura of the Heart-Controlling Gu.

Such a subtle change in aura was actually detected by the jade stone, causing it to fail the aura verification.

This really exceeded Zhou Hao Chen's expectations.

"Since the Heart-Controlling Gu doesn't work, then I'll have to do it myself!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Hao Chen's appearance began to change.

He turned into the appearance of the man in black.

The man in black was shocked when he saw this scene. His mouth was so wide open that he could stuff an egg into it.

When did I have a twin brother?

Why didn't my mother tell me!

After Zhou Hao Chen used the All-Encompassing Visage to transform into the man in black's appearance, he used the jade stone to reply to the message.

[Jia Chen: Boss, I have already controlled Madam Shen. This woman is really moist!]
