The Birth Of A Villainess

\'Drip…\'

\'Drip.\'

The sound of blood dropping down the table was heard as the two figures inside the room was closely engaged with each other.

One could see that one of the two was leaning forward with his hands holding the other. And the latter was groaning in pain as his hands were raised in front of his face, his muscle straining to block.

"Qu Xing Xu… what do you think are you doing?!" Yu Fangzhu shouted in one breath. His voice sounded in pain and it wasn\'t far from what was happening to him right at that moment.

Laughing lightly as if this was a simple matter, Qu Xing Xu replied, "Your highness is quite capable to block me. However, I advise you not to do that as I won\'t be as lenient now if you continue to be like this."

When Qu Xing Xu drove the chopstick towards Yu Fangzhu\'s eyes, the prince was quick to block it but with the price of his hands as the chopstick hit home and stabbed his hands instead..

"Are you insane?!" Yu Fangzhu couldn\'t believe that Qu Xing Xu would ever do this. He wanted to move his body but with the chopstick still lodged in his hands and with Qu Xing Xu holding the other end, he couldn\'t move as he wished to without letting the duke gouge out his eye.

"Harming a royal prince will get you executed! Do you think I\'ll ever let this go?! I\'ll make sure you\'ll pay a thousand times for harming me!" Yu Fangzhu screamed viciously, wishing that Qu Xing Xu would take his threat seriously as he wasn\'t joking about it.

Yu Fangzhu was used to inflicting pain on others but to himself. That is why, when he felt the pain from being stabbed by the chopstick, he almost screamed loudly. However, he couldn\'t lose his composure to satisfy Qu Xing Xu\'s ego.

Qu Xing Xu chuckled before clicking his tongue as if he was disgusted by his words. "Execute me?" He said with his voice laced with mirth, "Your highness must check again if you have the ability to do that."

Qu Xing Xu wasn\'t even using half of his strength when he drove the chopstick. He was like a cat playing with its prey and Yu Fangzhu just turned out to be the mice in the game.

Yu Fangzhu didn\'t want to believe Qu Xing Xu\'s answer. But considering what kind of a man Qu Xing Xu was, his statement that he couldn\'t do it even if he wanted to was drilling his heart as he also knew the truth that he didn\'t have the ability to do that.

So, when he heard his reply, his face turned bitter.

"Your highness, the expression on your face looks great. You should probably get used to making that face. After all, I\'m still not done with you."

After he said that, Qu Xing Xu pulled back and simply sat back down where he sat earlier, looking like he hadn\'t just stabbed people with the chopsticks on the table.

The three men across him were still grunting in pain. Two of them already lost their abilities to see with their other eye while the prince couldn\'t do anything with a chopstick still protruding from his hands.

Pouring himself a tea, Qu Xing Xu relaxedly tasted the aromatic taste of the drink and popped another fruit cake in his mouth. But upon seeing a trace of bloodstain on his hand, he threw the cake down to the plate and said, "Your highness, do you have a handkerchief? I got some dirt on me and I want to wipe it off of me."

Yu Fangzhu glared at him. How can someone be so shameless?!

Not only did he stab him and his men, but he was also actually asking for a handkerchief from him!

Yu Fangzhu wanted to curse at him but he could only say, "Why ask? Don\'t you have one in your person?"

"Yes, but I don\'t want to dirty and waste them." Qu Xing Xu shrugged. "It cost me thirty gold taels to buy them so I can\'t use them."

By this time, Yu Fangzhu almost coughed out blood!

Where would one find a handkerchief worth thirty gold taels? The most expensive handkerchief that was sold in the capital was only worth three silvers but thirty gold taels? That was unbelievable!

Seeing that Yu Fangzhu didn\'t believe him, Qu Xing Xu had the gall to look offended as he said, "For your information, my handkerchief was made with gold threads and dust. It is quite hard to get them."

Then don\'t use it! Yu Fangzhu screamed internally.

Yu Fangzhu suddenly wanted to faint. Not only once, but Qu Xing Xu has been making him feel like he wanted to lose his consciousness. With the blood oozing out from his hands, it wouldn\'t be too long before he really loses his consciousness from blood loss.

Qu Xing Xu moved his eyes towards the prince\'s hands and said, "Right. You can\'t use your hands so let me help you."

Qu Xing Xu stood up from where he sat and walked around the table before crouching down beside Yu Fangzhu. The prince could be seen flinching at this and wanted to move away.

But Yu Fangzhu suddenly relaxed upon thinking that Qu Xing Xu did this because he wanted to pat him down to look for a handkerchief from his person.

And just as expected, Qu Xing Xu did pat him down. But not because he was looking for a handkerchief but because he was already wiping his hand on Yu Fangzhu\'s clothes.

Then, even before the prince could release a relieved sigh, Qu Xing Xu suddenly took hold of the other end of the chopstick.

"Y-you! W-what are you doing?!" Yu Fangzhu was alarmed by Qu Xing Xu\'s action and wanted to get away from him.

The prince heard Qu Xing Xu chuckling. He had to look up  to see what was so funny about this situation.

"Your highness need not be so scared. As I have said earlier, I\'m going to help you." He said before leaning forward, "So, please don\'t move or else, who knows if you will still have hands to touch again."

Qu Xing Xu smiled at Yu Fangzhu who blanched in horror.

And without waiting for the prince to react, Qu Xing Xu pulled out the chopstick. The blood that oozed out from the wound doubled and fell to the ground and on Yu Fangzhu\'s clothes. But it wasn\'t as gruesome as Yu Fangzhu\'s scream.

"Argh! Guh!" Yu Fangzhu tried to suck air to lessen the pain but the slightest movement he made, the more pain slapped him in the face!

"Oops. My bad." Said Qu Xing Xu half-heatedly. His tone didn\'t even sound like he was really sorry for what he had done.

But why would he even feel sorry for the person who bravely but foolishly tried to assassinate his bride.?

Actually, Qu Xing Xu had to hold himself back from beheading Yu Fangzhu on the spot. His initial plan was to stab the prince\'s eyes and drag him back to his torture grounds for the prince to learn a lesson or two during his time inside that \'place\' before finishing him off.

But Lin Xiaofei had plans for the royal family so he can\'t do anything if he wanted her to be solely his. He might not know her reasons for targeting the royal family but he would love to watch what she will do in the future and find out how will the royal family suffer in her hands.

And speaking of the future, he might need to speed up the wedding date.
