Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

Everyone placed an emphasis on strength; the law basically didn’t exist. The might of the country existed, but there was no law to protect the weak.

At most, it was just a bunch of strong people suppressing a bunch weaker than them; their word was the law.

You bully me, I bully someone else weaker than me. There was no sympathy or love lost between people.

Looking at the peaceful Rhine City, the situation here was actually worse than in Southern Glory Empire or Heavenly Wind Empire.

Everyone was dressed exquisitely but lacked energy, especially when they didn’t lack money; they had no goal to strive for.

Everyone’s faces were lifeless, like the walking dead.

Just like today. When Feng Qingtian injured the woman, no one came looking for trouble.

The manager had been able to sort the woman out. In fact, Gu Bailu guessed that the woman’s status wasn’t low. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have dared use that tone with Gu Bailu.

But after the manager made a move, the woman didn’t dare say anything in the face of someone stronger than she was.

That was the culture in this country: When faced with someone stronger than they were, they would submit without a struggle.

There was no fighting spirit.

“You might not be able to control what others are like; you can only take care of yourself.” Feng Qingtian kissed her cheek. “Don’t think too much.”

“But I’ve protected this world for so many years.”

Gu Bailu sighed. Back then, she had been sent to Heavenly Palace Cliff as a sacrifice so that the human world wouldn’t be destroyed.

Several centuries later, she fell out with Feng Qingtian over the world’s survival once again, and had even thought of killing him.

She had paid and lost so much for it, but not for human beings to live like this.

Humans were the most intelligent. They should be full of vitality and flourish.

To put it another way, humans had real feelings and real love. Humans should have love!

“What do you want to do?” Feng Qingtian asked helplessly.

Gu Bailu shook her head. “I’m afraid that I don’t have a good solution yet. I can’t even save my parents. My master is still on Futu Island…”

“Don’t think too much. Do whatever you want. I’ll support you.”

In her previous life, if he had been willing to resist the will of the heavens and not argue with her, perhaps none of this would have happened.

What he could obtain was no longer important. As long as she was happy, he was willing to do anything for her.

Gu Bailu hugged him. “Right now, I just want to go shopping and see what kind of magical pills I can buy.”

“Alright.” Feng Qingtian kissed her lips and put her cloak on her.

After giving Ye Ying instructions, he brought Gu Bailu out.

The lanterns had only just been lit and there weren’t many people in the main hall of the inn. A few people were leisurely drinking tea, and two or three people were going in and out.

Feng Qingtian led Gu Bailu downstairs. The manager popped out of nowhere. “Are you going out? Rhine City is very lively at night. You can go to Bridge 24.”

“Thank you, boss. We’re just taking a stroll,” Gu Bailu replied politely.

“It’s good to just stroll around. However, you must eat at Rhine City’s Small Shop Noodles. No matter who eats there, they’ll want to eat a second bowl,” the shopkeeper recommended strongly and enthusiastically.

“Noodles?” Gu Bailu asked.

“That’s right. It’s called Small Shop Noodles. All visitors to Rhine City have to eat there a few times. It’s good and strong, and the recipe for the soup base has been passed down for a hundred years. I grew up in Rhine City and I’ve never gotten sick of eating at Small Shop Noodles. Every time I eat there, the taste is different.”
