"Bang, bang, bang," Huang Biren heard knocking on the door. Before she could say anything, a raspy voice spoke from behind it.
"I am coming in." Huang Biren was displeased by the presumptuous voice, but she quickly collected herself. A scrawny man who looked exhausted, breathless, and fatigued, with swollen limbs and a limp, entered the room.
Huang Biren looked at the man with indifference in her eyes. The man didn't seem to mind her behavior. He walked toward her, where she was seated on the massive bed in the center of the large bedroom.
"What exactly do you hope to achieve by doing this?" Huang Biren asked with curiosity.
The man smiled at her before sitting on a chair next to the dressing mirror. "Miss Huang, can you truly not find it in your heart to just accept that all I want is you and that I have no ulterior motive?" the man asked as he coughed.
"I don't dispute the fact that you want me. Your lust for women is a fact known by the young and the old in the entire kingdom. Using your position as the first prince, you have forcefully taken daughters, wives, and even mothers without a second thought. Your relentless pursuit of sex has earned you the name 'Sex Fiend,' a nickname that has spread to the point that very few people remember what your real name is," Huang Biren said as she examined the prince's body.
"Hahahahahahahah," the prince laughed, his eyes roaming all over Huang Biren's enticing body. Huang Biren flinched in disgust, making the prince stop laughing and put on a more serious face.
"I don't care for what the useless commoners think of me, just as I don't care for what the bees think of me as I take their honey. Women were created by a god for the enjoyment of powerful men. I am a powerful man, so all women are mine to do with as I please. If a woman doesn't like my advances, she should be prepared to be taken by force before being discarded like an old doll. It is such a pity that I won't be able to enjoy both you and your sister, Huang Shengyi. The two of you together would have made the perfect drink to quench my thirst for a few months. Sigh, what a pity that your sister left the kingdom to go study in the Yulong Empire. Now, are you going to be one of those women that I forcefully take and then discard, or are you going to be a good little girl and fall into my arms while I am still happy?"
The prince's rant didn't come as a surprise to Huang Biren. "Do you know what will happen, now that you have undoubtedly angered the Huang family?" she asked, ignoring the prince's stupid question. The prince wasn't happy with this, but he cooled down.
"Of course I do. By week's end, there will no longer be a ruling family with the surname Huang," the prince said. Before Huang Biren could say anything, the prince continued. "Do not put your hopes on help from the other ruling families. My father, the king, wants to die after ensuring that our family will remain in power for generations to come. For this purpose, he has been planning the destruction of the Huang family for twenty years. For my Tinding royal family to stay in power, the greatest threat to our rule must be eliminated, and that threat is the Huang family. Although your Huang family is the newest ruling family in the Tinding kingdom, you are also the most powerful. With your cultivation technique, the Rumbling Tiger, no cultivator in the kingdom can exchange blows with a Huang family member at the same stage of cultivation. With such a powerful family in the kingdom, even a powerful king cannot sleep due to stress, causing many of the previous kings to die young, just like my father, who is on his last breath. To ensure this threat is eliminated, the king has made concessions to the other four ruling families to buy their loyalty. So, as I said, you will not be getting help from those families no matter how much gold you offer." The more the prince spoke, the angrier he got.
When the prince saw that Huang Biren was still calm, he continued to lay out the king's plans in hopes of breaking the young miss with despair. "The entire kingdom knows that your Huang family has more wealth than the king himself, probably even more than all the gold in the kingdom, but this time, the king offered the families something only a king can give: noble titles. The four families will become duke families and swear loyalty to the king. With these titles, the four families can truly become ruling families."
Still, the young miss did not seem flustered at all, causing the prince to look at her with defeat in his eyes. "Do you not care for the fate of your family?" he asked with confusion in his voice.
"Now that you are done with your nonsensical rant, let me tell you what will happen now that you have angered the Huang family," the young miss said in a calm voice, sending a bad premonition shivering through the prince.
