This scoundrel is a bit of a swordsman.

Xiao Xingchen clicked his tongue in amazement, realizing for the first time that the Great Qian Dynasty wasn't so boring after all. With such a lively and interesting prince, Yong'an City was sure to be anything but lonely.

No wonder Daji took the initiative to ask who this prince was; this fourth prince was indeed quite extraordinary.

Huangfu Xunhuan—this is the name of the fourth prince. Why would a prince have such a name? It sounds somewhat unconventional, but those who know the inside story all give a thumbs up to the fourth prince's birth mother.

The fourth prince's birth mother was rather indifferent by nature, and her title was Consort Lan. However, no one denies that she was a clever woman. By naming the fourth prince Xunhuan (meaning "Seeking Pleasure"), she was telling everyone, "My son doesn't fight or compete; his only purpose in life is to seek pleasure."

His name also meant the complete annihilation of his imperial ambitions, because no emperor was allowed to use the words "seeking pleasure" in his surname and given name. Emperor Wu was well aware of this, and under Consort Lan's repeated insistence, he let him be.

This led to the existence of princes who sought pleasure. While vying for power might be risky for a prince, indulging in pleasure meant that with the prince in hand, the world was practically mine.

Who would stop a prince from having fun? The younger ones can't control him, the older ones are too lazy to care, and his own brothers treat him exceptionally well. Even the crown prince, who dislikes everyone, takes good care of his chubby younger brother. Don't ask why; shouldn't a brother who doesn't fight or compete be pampered?

The originally tense scene suddenly turned comical. The people, who had been enraged, burst into laughter when they saw the prince, who looked like a ball of flesh, fall from the sky and completely stun the arrogant Chao Lu Ri.

Indeed, when the dust settled, neither of them was seriously injured, but the prince's buttocks were pressed against Chao Luri's face, and his enormous belly buried Chao Luri completely, causing the ground to cave in three feet. Apart from the fourth prince's massive body...

The arrogant, savage man's body was completely pressed into the ground, like a small mountain falling from the sky.

At this moment, the fourth prince was still repeatedly spitting out "Pui, pui, pui," muttering to himself.

"You son of a bitch Zheng Youqian, you just wait. Once I've calmed down, I'll deal with you. We'll fight to the death, fight to the death... huh...?"

What are you doing under my butt?

Seeing the Fourth Prince's innocent expression, Chao Luri's face darkened. If he didn't know this man was a prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, he would have torn this fleshy ball to pieces with his own hands. But even if he couldn't kill him, that didn't stop him from cursing.

"You fat idiot, get out of my way right now, or I'll stab your stomach open!"

"What? I can tolerate you calling me 'fatty,' but I can't tolerate you calling me 'idiot,'"

As he spoke, the fourth prince suddenly held his breath, and then he heard...

"Pfft~"

A wisp of pale yellow smoke rose from beneath his buttocks, which were pressed against Chao Luzhi's face. The fart was so loud it shook heaven and earth; everyone who saw it froze on the spot for three seconds.

People's faces twitched wildly; this was truly a fart right in their faces. They could imagine how incredibly uncomfortable the barbarian beneath them must have felt.

Chao Lu Ri was momentarily stunned by the fart, but as a stench assaulted his nostrils, his rage exploded. No longer caring whether the man was a prince or not, he unleashed his full power, giving Xiao Xing Chen another taste of what it meant to explode on the spot.

With a deafening roar, the crater that had been created exploded again, sending dust, smoke, and dirt swirling everywhere, even carrying a faint, pungent smell of farts.

"Ah, I'm going to kill you!"

Chao Lu Ri went completely berserk, unleashing his power so violently that the 300-pound fat man was knocked to the ground.

"Damn it! How dare you offend this prince! You're dead, dead! Oh my god!"

The fourth prince was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground.

Looking at Chao Luzhi, it was unclear when he had even grabbed the spiked club.

A surge of rage coursed through him, a stark contrast to his earlier arrogance. Barbarians are most prone to losing their minds when provoked, and he was clearly now consumed by rage.

"I am going to kill you!"

His eyes were bloodshot, as if the Fourth Prince was the only figure in his world. He raised his spiked club high, leaped upwards, and then brought it down on the Fourth Prince.

The onlookers were all astonished. This was the fourth prince of the Great Qian Dynasty; would he be crushed to death on the spot?

The barbarian on horseback was also frightened and rushed to stop them, but there was simply no time to react.

"It's over, it's over,"

He roared anxiously, but to no avail, he couldn't stop the enraged Chao Lu Ri. At this critical moment, the fat prince made an inexplicable move.

The fourth prince angrily began cursing at the crowd outside.

"You bunch of sons of bitches! I'm the Fourth Prince! You've already used me as a human shield, and now you're ignoring me completely. If I get beaten to death, none of you will escape. I'll make sure my father issues an edict ordering you all to be buried with me!"

"I admit I was wrong about you all. You're all such terrible friends. See you in the next life."

Despite the insults, the Fourth Prince didn't hold back at all. He quickly pulled a small, dark, round ball from his robes. Because it was quite far away, no one could tell whether it was food or something else.

Only Xiao Xingchen was startled upon seeing this thing, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Holy crap!"

This thing looks vaguely familiar... A ridiculous guess popped into my head.

"Isn't it?"

"Not what?"

Lan Beitang and Daji simultaneously turned their heads and looked at him.

"Nothing, let's see what he's up to."

Facing the suddenly appearing barbarian, whose massive body had already descended from the sky, the Fourth Prince showed no fear. Instead, he wore a wicked grin, the fat on his face jiggling with each smile.

Amidst the many frightened gazes, he kissed the small ball hard, then quickly tossed it away.

"Go, little one."

A round, dark object hurtled straight toward Chao Lu Ri.

This thing didn't look aggressive at all, so Chao Luzhi naturally didn't care and swung his spiked club at it.

Unexpectedly, just as the bullet struck the sphere, a deafening "boom" resounded, and an even more violent explosion suddenly lit up the sky.

A thick black fog instantly enveloped Chaoluri, and even the air began to smell of burning.

Xiao Xingchen was so in pain from his toothache that he didn't know what to say. This was gunpowder! Although the proportions were wrong and it wasn't very powerful, it was still the prototype of gunpowder.

The explosion of the small sphere didn't cause particularly great damage; it was about the force of a firecracker. However, the resulting black mist instantly engulfed Chao Luri, giving everyone quite a shock.

Seeing that the little ball had succeeded on its first attempt, the fourth prince hurriedly took out three more black balls from his pocket.

"Damn, my little gadget finally has a use! Bring it on!"

Before the black mist had dissipated, the three small balls were thrown out again.

Chao Luri was absolutely furious. This little thing had completely extinguished his anger. He felt as if his skin was being burned, and a burnt smell was rising above his head.

When the black fog dissipated, people saw a ridiculously dark, afro-covered man standing in front of the Fourth Prince.

Someone couldn't help but chuckle, and then the laughter spread.

"This is hilarious! What is the Fourth Prince anyway? How did they manage to turn him into a crow?"

"The damage isn't great, but the insult is extremely strong. I like this fourth prince."

"Incredible, incredible! This barbarian brought this upon himself. The Fourth Prince is truly a genius!"
