Ultimate Scheming System

Moonlight spread across the floor like water.

If things was under normal circumstances, the night market would have ended around now. However, the streets were still filled with people.

Xu Que’s barbecue stall was still emitting white smoke, and the charcoal smell of barbecued chicken wings was wafting across the street.

Many couldn’t afford the wings but it was enough to smell them—that was an enjoyment too.

However, there was still a long queue to buy the wings. After all, in a place like the Imperial City, there was not a lack of rich people.

Xu Que left the stall in the charge of the woman, who was becoming more familiar with the process. After 2 hours, she had managed to sell over 50 sets of wings, and had taken in almost 5000 taels.

Xu Que was still going after Buttface for his debt. He was pinned to the ground by Xu Que many times when he ran too slowly. Getting poked by the barbecue stick left him yelping in pain.

The crowd couldn’t stand the sight. Wasn’t it just a dog? Wasn’t it just stealing some wings? This was too cruel!

However, slowly, they started suspecting something too!

How can this dog withstand all these pokes?

After being pierced so many times, it hasn’t been injured at all?

"Oww!"

At this point, Xu Que had caught up with Buttface again, his stick accurately... oh wait, accidentally piercing Buttface’s butthole.

Buttface shrieked in pain. He was really hurt this time and he was pissed!

"Damn it, you little brat, this deity will not take this lying down!"

Buttface couldn’t control himself any longer and he turned around and lashed out in anger, charging straight towards Xu Que.

Everyone was shocked!

This dog can talk?

Oh my God, It is a demonic beast. No wonder it was alright despite so many strikes!

In a moment, many of them lost all sympathy for Buttface. Some of them even started getting angry.

Evidently, humans were still incredibly prejudiced towards demonic beasts.

Priests regularly went out to hunt for them and demonic beasts regularly hunted humans for food. Between the two of them, it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong; however, it was hard for them to co-exist.

"Buttface, you really are daring! You dare to speak now? I poked you as a sacrifice for the humans. If you do not want to die then give me the money for the wings!"

Xu Que continued chasing. He wasn’t afraid of Buttface causing any trouble—after all, this dog was very hard to beat to death!

"Brat, you ingrate, isn’t it just a few chicken wings? I’ll make some for you some other day! But you poked my delicate spot—this is a huge violation and I will fight to the death with you!"

Buttface was incredibly angry as Xu Que had used the barbecue stick to poke his sensitive area.

"Come, I want to fight to the death with you too. However, you will need to defeat the Sword Spirit first. If not, I’m afraid that if I take action, you will die a terrible death!" Xu Que laughed.

In actual fact, he really wanted to try and see if Buttface would be able to withstand his Buddha’s Fiery Lotus!

However, upon hearing the name ’Sword Spirit’, Buttface stopped immediately. He didn’t want to lose face in front of everyone though, and hence stuck his chest out and said, "enough, I will not hold it against you seeing that you are young and insolent! If you make a dozen more wings, I will let this matter go!"

"Uh-uh! You only give up when you know you are about to lose, and here you are still acting all tough in front of me. And yeah, sure, sure, sure, there are no more chicken wings, but do you want some barbecued dog meat?"

"Oww..." Buttface was angered again, ready to pounce on Xu Que.

However, right at this moment, there was a commotion amongst the crowd.

What followed was a sharp piercing noise. "The Third Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, Sixth Prince and Seventh Princess are here!"

"Wah!"

The crowd broke out in a frenzy. Everyone retreated two steps to open a way through the crowd and started dropping to their knees. Solemnity fell over the area!

Even the woman barbecuing the chicken wings in front of the stall grabbed her child and dropped to her knees, lowering her head.

Evidently, these commoners had an inborn fear towards the might of the royal family.

Hearing that so many people from the imperial family were arriving, everyone had naturally dropped to their knees in fear, not daring to even lift their heads. If they offended the royals, it would be an offence punishable by death.

Xu Que had seen such sights before and thus didn’t kneel. Only he and Buttface remained standing.

However, he was surprised too that the eunuch didn’t find it tiring to announce the arrival of all four princes and the princess!

His gaze swept across the area as he saw four elegant-looking men and a young woman with a thin veil over her face gathering at the center of the main road. They were walking over.

They walked incredibly slowly but had an intimidating aura to them. They each seemed high and mighty, and shone in their opulence like the stars holding up the moon.

Another eunuch was making way for them—Xiao Li Zi, the one who had argued with Xu Que before.

At this moment, he didn’t dare to look at Xu Que, lowering his head and trying to hide his face. He was afraid that Xu Que would recognize him.

"Hey you, the one without a dick, have you really called your masters over? Do you all want to fight me one-on-one or all at once?"

Xu Que stared at the eunuch and laughed.

Everyone shuddered, horrified.

Was this young man not afraid of death?

The princes and the princess were here yet he was still acting this arrogant?

Moreover... saying something like ’no dick’... he was too brazen!

But Xu Que was acting tough successfully, as his acting tough points were going up again.

He ignored the notifications, his gaze still on the people from the imperial family who were walking towards him. He wore a faint smile on his face as he coolly looked on.

He was acting tough!

Naturally he had to act as if he was the one on top. If he didn’t, how would he be able to call himself a good lad from the Exploding Heavens Faction?

Xiao Li Zi didn’t dare talk back to Xu Que. Even with the Third Prince around, he didn’t dare look up. After all, what had happened with Xu Que had left him feeling extremely intimidated!

Ignoring everything else, just the fact that he had killed the Legendary Swordsman from the Jade Sword Sect and the other guardians meant that his power was so great that he would be able to kill a small eunuch like him hundreds of times within seconds.

However, a frown appeared on the Third Prince’s face. He furrowed his brows slightly. Evidently, he was not taking a liking to this ’crazy’ Xu Que!

As the favorite son of the royal family, he had grown up feeling superior to all others. He couldn’t stand such crazy geniuses!

Seeing such craziness from Xu Que, he was unhappy too. However, it wouldn’t be smart for him to act up now.

At this point, a streak of hatred flashed past the face of another prince. "You are Xu Que from the Exploding Heavens Faction?" he asked Xu Que impatiently.

Xu Que laughed. He knew... the rare opportunity to act tough had come again.

He smacked his sleeve and gave a dry cough. Wearing a wry smile, he walked forward with his hands pressed to his chest and said, "I am Ma Yun from the Exploding Heavens Faction. I am starting a business now, preparing to dabble in Taobao. You have found the wrong person!"
