Chapter 13: Clearing the Avalanche: Xueer, feed me imported grapes~
The night was like thick ink, pouring out and covering the entire earth.

There is a dangerous atmosphere everywhere...

There were only a few dim lights in the Prince's Mansion, and other than that it was completely silent.

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds.

On the bed, Su Bai slowly opened his eyes.

He turned his head to look at the person in his arms.

Qian Renxue was resting her head on his arm, the little girl was sleeping soundly.

There was a flash of fondness in Su Bai's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and then was covered by a faint murderous intent.

During the day, Qian Renxue was worried about the royal family of the Tiandou Empire.

As long as the remaining princes were dealt with, there wouldn't be many who could threaten Qian Renxue or cause her trouble.

"I told you, as long as I'm here, you don't need to worry so much."

Su Bai whispered silently and gently kissed Qian Renxue on the head.

"Xiaoxue'er, I'll be back soon."

In order to help Qian Renxue sleep better, Su Bai lit a stick of incense beside the bed to help her sleep.

After taking a last longing look at Qian Renxue, Su Bai opened the door and went out.

Soon, the gate of the prince's mansion was in an avalanche.

It was also late at night and everyone was asleep, with only the occasional noisy chirping of cicadas.

I had a nightmare about an avalanche and tossed and turned. Finally, I was suddenly awakened by it and broke out in a cold sweat.

"It was just a dream... Fortunately, why would I dream of someone trying to assassinate me? Have you been under too much pressure recently..."

Avalanche muttered to himself.

"Awake? If you're awake, then it's not a dream, right?"

Su Bai stood beside his bed and spoke softly.

Avalanche could barely catch his breath.

"You? Imperial Master? Why are you here? What do you want to do?"

Xue Beng subconsciously wanted to get up from the bed.

At the same time, Su Bai walked out of the shadows. The pale moonlight shone on him, making his figure seem less real.

"What do you think I'm here for?"

As he spoke, Su Bai smiled and raised his hand to easily let him fall back onto the bed.

The murderous intent spread in an instant.

Xue Beng broke out in a cold sweat - this was no longer a bad premonition, it was obvious that he wanted to kill him!
"You, you want to kill me?" Xue Beng was incredulous. Fear made his limbs extremely stiff. "You are the imperial master of our Tiandou Empire. You actually want to kill me? I am a prince of the royal family!"

Avalanche pulled out a dagger from his waist. The blade was so sharp that it could separate a person's body in an instant.

Xue Beng wanted to call for help, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.

Su Bai's martial spirit suddenly appeared, and the terrifying dagger instantly shattered into pieces.

The Nine Divine Swords of martial soul elements took its place, shining with dazzling light, hanging high above Avalanche's head.

"Are you scared?" Su Bai laughed.

How can you not be afraid of avalanches?

Su Bai was clearly just releasing the pressure of his martial spirit, and he couldn't make a sound.

It was clearly just the spirit that appeared, but that excellent dagger shattered into that shape!

Avalanche's own strength is not too bad, but...

But in front of him, there seemed to be no chance of resistance at all!

Avalanche shook his head desperately and began to beg for mercy.

The Nine Elemental Swords fell instantly, and Avalanche's terrified eyes were reflected on the blade.

Su Bai was helpless: "It's all your fault for being a prince of the Tiandou Empire. I hope you can be reborn into a good family in your next life."

Scarlet blood splattered out, and Su Bai's aura pressed down, and all the blood was blocked half a meter away from him.

Until now, Avalanche has not been able to utter a word.

The Heaven Dou Empire's Prince Avalanche - dead! The Nine Elemental Swords "whoosh" retracted into Su Bai's body, and the remaining tiny dots of light dissipated in the dim night.

"Huh, this way, there will be one less threat to Xiaoxue'er."

"In this way, Xiaoxue'er's throne can be further consolidated."

He will remove all of Xiaoxueer’s “stumbling blocks” bit by bit!

Su Bai was very satisfied. He raised the corners of his lips and cleaned up all the traces that might expose his identity.

He left through the window and disappeared completely into the darkness.

Finally, only a lonely corpse was left, lying on the bed.

……

The next day, news that Tiandou Empire's prince Xue Beng had been assassinated spread throughout the imperial city.

From now on, the whole city is on alert, and we must find the murderer!

At the same time, people began to worry whether the daring madman would attack the next person...

In Emperor Xue Ye's imperial study, only Emperor Xue Ye, Su Bai and Qian Renxue were there.

They all looked solemn, especially Emperor Xue Ye, who was filled with grief.

"My son—how did he suddenly meet with an accident?"

Emperor Xue Ye’s eyes were red.

If it weren't for his status and position, if he hadn't learned to suppress his emotions over the years, he would have burst into tears like any other ordinary father.

Su Bai handed over a cup of tea: "Please protect the dragon's body and don't be too sad."

Although his words were full of sincere comfort, there was no sympathy or pity in Su Bai's eyes.

Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath and felt a little better, but his voice was still trembling.

"In recent years, the princes have died one after another. I... am really heartbroken!"

"Now, there are only a few princes and princesses left in the royal family, and the crown prince is facing a crisis."

He glanced at Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and couldn't help but worry.

Immediately, he said to Su Bai: "Master, please help me investigate this matter thoroughly! We must find the murderer!"

"I suspect that the one who could kill the prince so easily in the imperial city must be a Titled Douluo!"

"Right now, I can't think of anyone other than you, the Imperial Master, who can investigate and capture the Titled Douluo."

Facing Emperor Xue Ye's plea, Su Bai consoled him with a few words: "Please accept my condolences, Your Majesty. I will do my best to investigate this matter thoroughly."

At an angle that Emperor Xue Ye couldn't see, Qian Renxue secretly glanced at Su Bai.

In fact, Qian Renxue knew that it was Su Bai who killed Xue Beng last night.

She woke up once in the middle of the night and found that he was not there. Thinking about the conversation yesterday, the answer was self-evident.

A warm current flowed through her heart—Qian Renxue liked Su Bai more and more.

She couldn't help but think that as long as Su Bai was there, she would feel at ease and secure.

Not only this side, but Prince Xuexing on the other side was even more shocked and upset!
He had originally planned to find someone to assassinate Su Bai himself, but now this happened.

He no longer dared to act rashly.

No matter who did it, he always felt that it was related to Su Bai, because it was too coincidental...

……

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the room, Qian Renxue grabbed Su Bai by the collar and pressed him against the door.

She lowered her voice and asked, "Xiaobai, did you kill Xue Bian?"

Su Bai raised his eyebrows, not surprised that she guessed it: "Yes, I did a good thing, Xiao Xue'er, why don't you reward me?"

Qian Renxue slowly let him go and scratched her face, feeling a little shy and pretending to be calm: "Oh? What reward do you want? A kiss?"

It won’t be that easy this time!
Su Bai hugged her and whispered in her ear.

"Can you feed me some grapes? The imported kind..."
