While he was stunned, Xuexue leapt onto the back of the tiger, forcefully slapped its buttocks, and said, "Aren’t you going to run? Are you waiting to be fed?"
Suddenly ridden by Xuexue, the tiger felt somewhat displeased. However, the masked man before it was no ordinary person; he had the aura of a strong being.
The tiger could not concern itself with much else and started to run with all its might.
Damn it, without my martial power restored, it’s better to keep a low profile as a tiger.
When Long Yi crawled out of the ruins, the man and tiger had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Prince, are you alright?"
With his hands behind his back, Long Rui coldly said, "What could possibly happen to me?"
"But what about the tiger just now?"
"What tiger? I didn’t see any," Long Rui feigned ignorance masterfully.
"My lord, you don’t know. Just now on the rooftop, that tiger was clearly a kid who suddenly transformed into a big tiger, scaring me half to death," Long Yi still couldn’t quite believe what he had seen.
"Look at your composure!" Long Rui coldly glanced at him, "Remember, you must not leak a single word about what you’ve seen tonight."
Long Yi didn’t ask why. After all, he would follow whatever the Prince commanded.
Due to the noise, it wasn’t long before the entire War Prince’s Mansion was brightly lit.
Guards and servants ran toward the noise.
"Prince, what exactly happened here? It sounded like we heard a tiger," asked a leader of the guards, responsible for the safety of the Prince’s Mansion.
"What tiger? You heard wrong," War Prince Long Rui lied effortlessly, his face showing his usual cold composure, "I was in high spirits tonight, when unexpectedly, a beam in the house broke. The roof collapsed, crushing some beauties. Hurry and dig them out."
Upon hearing the Prince’s words, the eyes of the guards widened...
Oh my! His martial prowess is so fearsomely strong, not even a dozen beauties are enough; he even broke the beam.
Upon hearing War Prince’s words, the guards visualized the scene.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry and save them," the guards, with mystified expressions on their faces, clearly harbored improper thoughts, which Long Yi could not help but angrily chastise.
The guards snapped back into focus and hurriedly moved forward to save people. The entire roof had collapsed, trapping several beauties inside who had spent the night with the Prince.
After much of the night spent busy, the guards finally dug out about a dozen girls.
However, unfortunately, all but two who sustained minor injuries met their demise.
"Prince! How shall we deal with these bodies?" the leading guard, his forehead covered with cold sweat, thought worriedly, how terrifying the Prince’s strength must be, that merely touching these girls could result in several fatalities, leading to over a dozen beauties dying at once.
"Deal with it as we usually do; you need not bother me with these trivial matters," War Prince’s expression remained cold, showing not a ripple of emotion.
"But, these were beauties sent by The Emperor, wouldn’t such disposal be inappropriate?"
Normally, when a death occurred at the War Prince’s Mansion, the servants would sneak the bodies out the back door, then take them to Mass Grave outside the city, casually digging a hole and burying them.
"Hmm! You’re right," Long Rui nodded his head, "Since these people were sent by The Emperor, tomorrow morning, take the bodies back to the Imperial Palace."
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately kneeled with a thump; "Prince, forgive us, we dare not."
"If I tell you to send them, then send them. Just say it was by my orders," Long Rui was quite domineering, still holding a grudge over the past episodes when the old Emperor had frequently sent assassins to kill him, causing him to lose his memory.
