Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

The prince smiled as if to say “as expected” and swung his legs even more happily.

Li Huoyue said nothing more, turned his head, and returned to his usual expression.

Mother is still the best.

Li Huoyue sighed inwardly and missed his mother even more. If her mother were still alive, there would be no need for her to face this lunatic.

"Forget it. For your mother's sake, I won't bother with you. However..." The prince threw another grape as if for fun, "You have to join our renovation team."

Li Huoyue showed joy on her face, and even glanced at the prince expectantly, then turned her head back and looked at the ground. She asked, "Really?"

Her joy was fake, but her anticipation was real. She really wanted to join in immediately and instigate everyone to kill the Dog Emperor together.

If these time travelers continue to stay in this southern country like this, something bad will happen to them sooner or later.

The sooner it is resolved, the better, so that you don’t have to worry about a sudden imperial edict coming down when you sleep.

"It seems that you are really suitable for us, but don't be too happy too soon." The prince said with contempt. He looked down on those who wanted to cling to his power. "You still need to complete the novice mission before you can officially join us."

"Newbie mission?" Li Huoyue's main purpose was not to join any organization, but to urge the organization to complete her goals. "It's okay, I don't have to become a formal member."

Perhaps it was because Li Huoyue was too active just now, or perhaps the information the prince received was not accurate. He was shocked at this moment that Li Huoyue would actually refuse this identity.

In his opinion, this should be a huge opportunity for Li Huoyue. She should be eager to complete the task and strive to become a formal member.

"You, don't you want to become a formal member?!"

The prince looked at her as if he was looking at a woman who had fought hard for the position of Crown Princess and suddenly said that she had no intention of becoming one.

He doesn't understand.

"I want to." Li Huoyue nodded, "But don't you have a mission threshold? I am a dull girl and can't do too many things."

The prince had also heard of Li Huoyue before, a woman with a bad temper, so stupid and ignorant that she would only ruin the family.

Before he came, he was also confused as to why the team needed such a person and why he had to invite him in person.

After talking with this woman, I feel that her personality is not as the rumors say. I just don't know if she is really stupid.

"You don't want to do anything, do you?"

Just now, he was so eager to join, but after he said he had a mission, he started to think, "It's okay if you don't become a formal member." Isn't this trying to escape the mission?!

"Put away your little thoughts now." The prince didn't expect that the other party was still lazy. He was even more dissatisfied with the recruitment plan this time. Their team was not short of people, so why did they recruit all kinds of people?

Li Huoyue did not defend herself, she really did not want to work, she wanted to join the renovation team just because it was convenient to push forward the plan, she had no other purpose, why should she work for nothing?

"Hmph!" The prince simply looked down upon people like Li Huoyue and snorted angrily.

He really felt that there was no need to recruit this person, so he said on his own initiative: "People like you are not worthy of joining our team! Get out, our team does not accept members like you!"

Li Huoyue was about to stand up and say goodbye, but just before he stood up, he suddenly thought of something and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly sat down on the stool and said softly:

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to do this novice mission, but I feel that time is so tight, there is no need to waste time testing me. After all, I won't get any benefits from you."

"As for your team members, now that you have a designated patrol officer who can reveal information at any time, you don't have to worry about surprise inspections. It won't be that important whether I choose to do the mission and become a formal member."

She wasn't that kind, but the other party was the prince.

She also wanted to leave without joining, but the other party was the prince.

The prince clicked his tongue, not because he was impatient, but because he actually felt that what Li Huoyue said made some sense.

He nodded approvingly and said, "You...are not as the rumors say."

"Prince Miu..."

"roll!"

Li Huoyue sensed the change in the prince's attitude, and this time she really stood up and saluted to the prince: "Then I will take my leave."

The prince was stunned. He didn't expect Li Huoyue to take the opportunity to leave. But then he thought that his mission for the day was completed and there was no point in keeping her here. So he waved his hand and agreed to Li Huoyue's request and let her go.

Li Huoyue breathed a sigh of relief. This conversation with the Crown Prince was obviously much easier than the last conversation with the Emperor.

The hall was empty, with only her and the prince. Apart from the worry that the prince might suddenly go crazy, she did not feel too much oppressive.

Thinking that she could leave soon, even her expression relaxed a little, and she no longer kept it tense subconsciously.

According to the rules, she could not turn around immediately and walk with her back to the prince. She could only face the prince, lower her head, and step backwards step by step.

"Wait." The prince stopped Li Huoyue who was bowing and preparing to leave.

He felt that there was something different about the person who was about to leave. She had the same expression, but he felt that her complexion had changed significantly and was no longer like the fake person just now.

Li Huoyue lowered his head, stopped where he was, and sighed silently. Why are there so many troubles with the crown prince?

"What are your orders, His Royal Highness?"

"Come here." The prince frowned and waved at Li Huoyue.

Li Huoyue had no choice but to take two steps forward.

"Come to me!" the prince demanded unhappily.

Li Huoyue did not move. She had never met anyone who made such a request, and even the emperor did not ask her to be so close.

Her saluting hand was suspended in the air and tightened.

There were only two of them in the hall.

The prince, who was half sitting and half lying, suddenly felt a cool breath coming from nowhere, which made him shiver.

Biting his back teeth, Li Huoyue took the risk, put down his saluting hand, and walked towards the prince step by step.

The steps were steady, as if every step was carefully considered. The prince was originally lying down and observing Li Huoyue's face, but as he watched Li Huoyue approaching step by step, he sat up straight unconsciously.

The momentum of Li Huoyue's approach did not seem like he was summoned by him, but rather like he had received an order to assassinate him.

The prince clenched the armrest tightly, and the cold touch spread from the palm of his hand along his arm. He regretted asking Li Huoyue to come over.

But at this moment, because of his identity, he had to wait silently for Li Huoyue to come and pretend that everything was under his control.

He forced himself to straighten his back, spread his legs wide apart, and showed off his full strength.

Fortunately, when Li Huoyue was only one step away from him, he stopped and saluted again, "Prince."
