The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 373 - 25: The Playboy Prince Strives for Success

"What play is being performed here?" At this moment, Qi Haoxuan’s expression was as cold as ice. If he still didn’t know that today’s so-called flower appreciation banquet was aimed at him, his head might as well have been grown for nothing.

"Calm your anger, Prince." The Daoist bowed to Qi Haoxuan, then raised his head, adopting the demeanor of a worldly master. He waved the Buddhist Dust in his hand again. With his Daoist robe and the snow-white Buddhist Dust, his calm demeanor indeed intimidated many in the hall. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Qi Haoxuan didn’t have that much patience anymore, he sneered and said, "If you have any nonsense, hurry up and say it." He originally wanted to say "spit it out," but restrained himself because Tiantian was beside him.

"I dare to ask if the Prince has recently been experiencing moments of distraction, doing things that are entirely contrary to his usual behavior?" The Daoist asked leisurely.

The moment the Daoist spoke those words, everyone in the hall was stunned. Thinking back, Qi Haoxuan’s behavior wasn’t just contrary, it was like he had become someone entirely different.

The Eldest Princess agreed deeply and took over the conversation: "Indeed, it’s as if the Prince has changed into another person."

"That’s because someone has enchanted the Prince, and that person..." The Daoist looked at Tianmiao, his meaning self-evident.

Everyone in the hall also turned their gaze to Tianmiao. This mysterious woman had mesmerized Qi Haoxuan recently, which was true. However, everyone had noticed Qi Haoxuan’s change was all seen by everyone, step by step becoming better.

What was this Daoist trying to say? That Qi Haoxuan was enchanted, thus became better? And that this Miss Tian was problematic?

Must be an idiot, right?

The crowd gave the Daoist a strange look, eager to hear his next performance.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, silence fell. All eyes were focused on the Daoist, while Tianmiao seemed bored, leaning against her chair, her gaze locked on the black thread in the Daoist’s soul.

However, the next moment, an unexpected scene unfolded; the Daoist suddenly knelt before Qi Haoxuan and Tianmiao. Without saying anything, he reached out and slapped himself hard several times, so hard that he started bleeding from his nose, making everyone feel pain watching him. Then the Daoist began to shout loudly.

"I came today just for the sake of this idiot Prince. The Princess is even dumber; I say a few casual words, and she believes that the Prince was enchanted to have changed. She’s simply a pig, I said the woman beside the Prince was a Demoness, and she truly believed it. Doesn’t she even think, how could a Demoness make someone improve? She still wants me to eliminate this woman. Hahaha, stupid as a pig, using her pig’s brain to think about this, does she get to interfere in the Prince’s matters? The Emperor and Empress Dowager would gladly see it happen. Does she dare to presume and meddle in the Prince’s affairs? Trying to please the wrong person, isn’t she stupid?" As the Daoist spoke, he burst into laughter, but the fear in his eyes was almost overflowing.

What on earth was going on? Why would he shout out everything in his heart?

The Princess’s face had already turned the color of pig liver; she shouted angrily: "Guards, are you dead? Why aren’t you dragging him away?"

"Why hurry? Let him finish," Qi Haoxuan said faintly, his voice wasn’t loud, but it was like an eternal glacier, devoid of any warmth. The Eldest Princess met Qi Haoxuan’s cold stare, feeling weak all over, collapsing onto her chair.

No one dared to move, nor speak; they just stared wide-eyed at the Daoist kneeling in front of Qi Haoxuan.
