The so-called mortal emperor flew into a rage, clutching his burning face, and shouted, "Capture them! I want their skins peeled off!"
"No! Absolutely not!"
The Chief Eunuch hurriedly exclaid, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the holy monk’s warning? If you commit another murder, the country will be in peril, and your throne—ah!"
The mortal emperor kicked the eunuch in the chest, sending him to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, showing that this kick was infused with Inner Strength, rciless and ruthless.
The man looked down at the Chief Eunuch with disdain, shouted, "I am the Emperor, why should I listen to the words of a bald donkey? I don’t believe what he says! I want to see if this country will be destroyed because of two unknown things after I kill these two audacious fools!"
"Your Majesty! Think it over!" The Chief Eunuch’s old tears stread down his face.
He once served by the side of the forr emperor, and when the forr emperor passed, he was supposed to be buried with him, but the forr emperor commanded him to assist the New Emperor, hence he survived just to fulfill the task given to him.
But now...
The Chief Eunuch looked at the New Emperor, who wholly displayed the deanor of a tyrant, knowing that ultimately he was unable to complete the task the forr emperor gave him.
The Chief Eunuch coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in succession, his already exhausted body made this kick the final straw.
The Chief Eunuch died with open eyes, because he was ashad to face the forr emperor.
The mortal emperor did not expect that just one kick would kill this useless servant, showing not the slightest compassion or pity, looking at the Chief Eunuch with eyes full of disgust and contempt, as if dying before him soiled his sight.
"Soone, drag him away!"
The little eunuchs were very sad, as this Chief Eunuch was a rare just person. After his death, they didn’t know who would ascend to beco the new Chief Eunuch, nor did they know what the future would hold.
At this mont, they thought the New Emperor had ordered them to collect the Chief Eunuch’s corpse, still harboring so expectations for the New Emperor, but the New Emperor’s next words filled them with despair and sadness.
"Throw him into a mass burial mound, dying neither early nor late, such an inauspicious thing!"
Thrown into a mass burial mound!!!
The little eunuchs were full of disbelief.
This was the most trusted servant by the forr emperor, yet in the hands of the New Emperor, he didn’t even have a burial place, ending up in the miserable fate of being tossed into a mass burial mound!
It inevitably gave rise to a feeling of poignant sadness like the death of a rabbit lanted by a fox.
"Are you all deaf or sothing! Quickly drag him away! Don’t want to live? Or do you also want to be buried in a mass burial mound?"
The New Emperor glared fiercely, his eyes gloomy and mad, his voice booming like thunder, deafening.
The little eunuchs dared not lift their heads, responding ekly, following the New Emperor’s order to drag away the Chief Eunuch’s corpse.
So intended to secretly disobey and bury the Chief Eunuch in the ground, but the other little eunuchs were terrified, not daring to defy the emperor’s decree, and so the majority’s will overruled, and the Chief Eunuch’s body was indeed thrown into the mass burial mound.
After the little eunuchs dragged away the body, the New Emperor turned his fury towards Feng Qi and Little Taotie, his eyes burning with rage, though his face still felt a burning pain.
"I will make you wish for life but unable to ask for death!"
The guards rushed over upon hearing the news, even the Hidden Guard was mobilized, thinking soone intended to assassinate the emperor.
But upon arriving at the scene, they saw only two children.
At this mont, Little Taotie appeared as a six or seven-year-old child, and Feng Qi had transford into a seven or eight-year-old human girl to better be a playmate.
Both children’s eyes were very bright, one filled with dazzling starlight, the other’s gaze lively, eyes glistening with water-like brightness.
