Chapter 19.1

Holy Shit!

How did Shi Ye stand up?!

Aren’t his legs disabled? Wasn’t he still sitting in a wheelchair just now?

Wen Chi was shocked, so far as to think he was having a hallucination.

However, it turned out that the image he saw was not an illusion. Shi Ye not only stood up from the wheelchair, but also stood firmly, with a tall and straight figure like a standing poplar.

Wen Chi here was so shocked that he couldn’t speak, but Shi Ye on the other hand ripped off the clothes on Wen Chi’s chest. His actions were so rude that Wen Chi didn’t know what was going on. He only felt a few pieces of rags flying in front of him, and then he felt cold on his chest.

He looked down in a daze and saw that the clothes on his upper body were torn and the exposed skin was dazzlingly white.

Shi Ye lowered his eyes, a thin layer of frost had formed on his stern face, he narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at a certain part of Wen Chi’s abdomen for a moment.

Wen Chi maintained the posture of his chin being pinched by Shi Ye, his body was stiff and motionless, his slightly thin body shivered, and he didn’t know whether he was cold or frightened by the icy aura emanating from Shi Ye’s body.

Time passed minute by minute.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Ye suddenly retracted his gaze that fell on Wen Chi’s abdomen. He raised the corner of his mouth and gave a cold smile: “As expected.”

Wen Chi was still confused.

Shi Ye’s hand holding his chin suddenly tightened and he approached with a sullen face: “You look very much like a person Bengong knows and that person has traces of being wounded by a dagger between the abdomen and legs but unfortunately you don’t.”

Wen Chi can’t figure out where the plot is going now and he racked his brains but couldn’t figure out who is the person that Shi Ye knew in the novel that looked like the original owner or if this was actually a hidden plot that wasn’t mentioned in the novel.

Wave after wave of shocking twists were like small clubs, mercilessly hitting Wen Chi’s head, knocking him into a dizzy mess and his brain became a pot of porridge.

While he was stunned, Shi Ye asked in a cold voice, “Bengong asks you, have you ever been injured before?”

Wen Chi hurriedly rummaged through the original owner’s memory and then answered honestly, “Answering back to Your Royal Highness, I’ve never been injured.”

“Pity.” Shi Ye seemed to really feel sorry, “What a pity.”

Wen Chi struggled for a moment, then asked bravely, “Dare to ask His Royal Highness, is that person an old friend of His Royal Highness?”

“No.” Shi Ye smiled suddenly, the un-deformed half of his face had a kind of stunning beauty, but unfortunately the other half of his face crawling with burn marks hardened and ruined this beauty, despite his smile, it was still so frightening, “How could that man be an old friend of bengong, he is an enemy of bengong.”

Wen Chi: “…”

He looks exactly the same as the crown prince’s enemy, is there anything worse than that?

No wonder Shi Ye ordered him to take off his clothes without warning that day,  so he wanted to check if there were dagger wounds on his abdomen.

The more Wen Chi thought about it, the more scared he became. If Shi Ye strangled him directly, he wouldn’t feel as scared but Shi Ye himself said that he looked like his enemy, which means he probably wouldn’t have let him die painlessly.

As the biggest villain and the most brutal king in the novel, what kind of torture methods can’t Shi Ye think of?  It seems that he personally skinned a concubine in the later part of the novel.

Just recalling the words describing the plot, Wen Chi was shaking like a sieve. He is not afraid to die but afraid to live a life worse than death.

Shi Ye felt the trembling of the man in his hand, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually widened. He laughed heartily, closing in on Wen Chi’s ear and said viciously: “Bengong has been looking for that person for more than ten years, and I have been thinking about him day and night. With a face that is very similar to yours, Bengong hopes to catch him with my own hands one day, trap him in a cage like a mouse, tease him a few times when he is in a good mood and remove one of his legs when he is in a bad mood.”

Wen Chi didn’t wait for Shi Ye to finish speaking, he knelt down with a pale face with tears of horror rushing out of his eyes: “His Royal Highness, forgive me, that person is not me, I have never seen Your Royal Highness before coming to the Eastern Palace!”

Shi Ye slowly squatted in front of Wen Chi, propping his chin with one hand: “But you look like him, if bengong can’t catch him, it’s a good idea to find a substitute.”

Wen Chi’s face was full of tears. He choked, “I’m different from that person.”

“Oh?” Shi Ye pondered, “What is different?”

Wen Chi said carefully: “I can make cakes.”

Shi Ye was silent for a moment and gave a faint Oh: “You’re awesome.”

Wen Chi: “…”

Don’t think he couldn’t hear that the dog prince was mocking him.

However, this answer was effective. Shi Ye slowly stood up again, sat down on the wheelchair behind him and returned to his previous lazy appearance. He said, “Get up.”

Wen Chi didn’t dare to delay. He hurriedly got up from the ground, with a bare upper body, like a poor quail.

He knew that he was crying like a wimp a moment ago but he couldn’t control his tears. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe the tears on his face but because Shi Ye was right in front of him, he didn’t even dare to move his fingertips.

Until Shi Ye faintly said: “Raise your head.”

Wen Chi struggled to raise his head and looked at Shi Ye through a layer of watery mist.

He was originally fair but after crying like this, his eyes and the tip of his nose were all red, which was especially obvious, he really looked like a jungle rabbit.

Looking at Wen Chi’s appearance, Shi Ye really recalled the time when he and the emperor went out to hunt together. A stupid white rabbit hit the leg of his riding horse and was caught by his ears. After that, his four legs were shaking with fright and the frightened expression of the stupid rabbit was exactly the same as that of the person in front of him.

Heh, They are all stupid.

Wen Chi lowered his eyes and avoided Shi Ye’s straightforward gaze but he could feel Shi Ye’s gaze scrutinizing him from head to toe.

Not long after, he heard Shi Ye snicker: “It seems that you are not useless.”

Wen Chi sniffed quietly and said humbly, “Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment.”

Shi Ye said, “Bengong is mocking you, can’t you hear it?”

Wen Chi immediately changed his tone: “Thank you for the sarcasm, Your Highness, I am not very honored.”

Shi Ye: “…”
