So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

On the night of the Lantern Festival, the lights are dazzling and the atmosphere is lively. The streets are filled with all kinds of lanterns, colorful and beautiful.

Cang Lan, Qin Yurou, and Qin Yaoguang arrived at the agreed-upon place early and couldn't wait to explore, completely forgetting that there was another person there.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar, and Li Yu rode up in a majestic manner on a tall horse.

He was beaming with pride, imagining himself dismounting in a dashing manner and stunning everyone.

However, just as he was about to dismount, Canglan cast a spell, and the horse suddenly reared up as if startled, throwing Li Yu off. Li Yu landed on the ground with a loud thud.

The horse, startled, ran away without looking back.

People around him cast surprised glances, and Li Yu felt extremely embarrassed, but he still forced a smile and pretended to be calm.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and tried to maintain his composure and regain his earlier confidence. But the burning pain all over his body screamed that it was impossible!

Li Yu looked at Cang Lan and forced a smile, saying, "Zhao Hua, this horse is acting strangely today. But it's alright. As a man, I'm not afraid of falling down. Aren't I amazing, Zhao Hua?"

Seeing Li Yu's expression, Qin Yurou almost burst out laughing, and muttered softly, "You're amazing, you're the most amazing!"

Qin Yaoguang's disdain was even more evident in her eyes, and she thought to herself with contempt, "Hmph! You're nothing but a piece of trash!"

Cang Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze filled with mockery and sarcasm. A distinctly sarcastic smile curved his lips as he spoke in an icy tone, "Ninth Prince's entrance is truly unique. Those who don't know the situation might think that the Ninth Prince has come here specifically to put on a farcical show for everyone. Perhaps the Ninth Prince finds today's Lantern Festival too bland and has to add this spectacle for himself?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face, but he quickly concealed it, cleared his throat, and said, "Zhaohua is joking. I was just eager to see you today, and I made a mistake. My feelings for you are as clear as the sun and moon, so why would I deliberately embarrass myself?"

However, he thought to himself: How dare you humiliate me like this, you lowly woman! Once I achieve my goal, I'll make you pay!

Xiao Bai: [Xie Xing'er will arrive on the battlefield in ten seconds. 10, 9, 8, 7...]

"Hmph, Sister Zhaohua, you're wrong. The Ninth Prince is of noble status, so it's only natural that he might have some minor mishaps from time to time. Why are you being so aggressive, Sister?"

Following the sound, Xie Xing'er gracefully walked over. She wore a light purple flowing dress with delicate flowers embroidered on the hem, which swayed gently with her steps. She swayed her waist slightly, and every movement seemed so deliberate and affected.

Xie Xing'er walked to Li Yu's side, turned slightly to the side, and looked at Li Yu in an extremely intimate manner, as if she was showing off to Xie Zhaohua.

She said sweetly, "Brother Li Yu, I've been looking forward to strolling through the Lantern Festival with you. It's so wonderful to meet you here today." Her tone was so sweet it was almost cloying, and her affection was overflowing.

Li Yu had just suffered a setback with Xie Zhaohua, and seeing Xie Xing'er like this, he was naturally pleased. He thought this would be a good opportunity to make Xie Zhaohua jealous, so he nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, let's go together."

But Canglan had already taken Qin Yurou and Qin Yaoguang to stroll ahead before Xie Xing'er's affected appearance.

As Li Yu watched Cang Lan's departing figure, a dark cloud instantly welled up in his eyes, his sinister expression like a storm cloud about to unleash its fury.

He gritted his teeth, thinking viciously: You wretch, how dare you look down on me, the prince! If you ever fall into my hands, I will make you wish you were dead.

But he quickly reverted to his infatuated demeanor towards Xie Zhaohua, then smiled faintly and chased after her. He was determined to win her over tonight; he'd see if that bitch would still be so arrogant now that she was his.

Xie Xing'er could naturally see that Li Yu didn't like Xie Zhaohua at all and was only using her. Currently, Li Yu's favorability rating towards her was 42, and she believed that it wouldn't be long before Li Yu would fall in love with her. She was confident of this.

After all, she's now one of the most beautiful women in the world.

In an instant, Li Yu gave a wink to his men, who immediately understood. They suddenly flung handfuls of silver notes, along with one- and two-copper coins, into the crowd. Seeing the money flying everywhere, panic ensued as people scrambled to grab it.

In the chaos, Qin Yaoguang, Qin Yurou, and Cang Lan were quickly separated.

[Host, they're after you! Quickly send them a set of tingling, numbing bone-setting treatments.] Little White was even more excited than Cang Lan, as if he'd been injected with adrenaline.

Cang Shun gave a wicked smile and led these people to a secluded place.

"Come with us obediently, or else—"

Before anyone knew it, Canglan had already grabbed the spiked club. With a sudden flash, the club slammed down on the man who had spoken. The man's head exploded like fireworks, splattering blood everywhere.

The remaining men were stunned by what they saw. Before they could react, Cang Lan leaped forward, his spiked club swiftly striking one of the men's chests.

Instantly, a crisp "crack" sound rang in my ears. The man's chest frame crumbled in an instant, and several thin, white bones pierced through his chest. This was followed by the man's heart-wrenching screams.

Just then, a loud shout came from the crowd: "That little punk dared to throw me a fake banknote!"

"What? It's fake!"

"The only real thing that little bastard threw away was these few coins."

The remaining three men began to flee, but found that they could not get out of the dead end no matter which way they went. At this moment, the sound of Cang Lan dragging his spiked club on the ground came from all directions and got closer and closer to them.

The three burly men watched as Cang Lan dragged the spiked club toward them. The pink club had now turned pink, and brain matter was still dripping from it, making a very eerie dripping sound.

When they saw Canglan trembling like a leaf, their knees buckled, and they knelt down heavily, kowtowing, their foreheads hitting the ground with a loud "thump".

They kowtowed and begged incoherently, "Miss, spare us! Miss, you really hit the wrong person!" A wet patch gradually seeped from the crotch of the tall, thin, burly man, who had obviously wet his pants in fear.

"It's not us who want to arrest you, it's a very rich man, he's in the house up ahead!"

The remaining men trembled and echoed, "Yes, yes, he paid us to arrest you! Please, miss, spare us!"
