Kneeling with his head bowed, Lei Qie saw a pair of shoes approaching him from below.
As he watched, he was astonished to discover that even a person’s walking posture could have a rhythm. Although it was just stepping, the other person’s steps moved the hem of their clothes perfectly. The height and distance of each step gave him a feeling that this was how it should be, this was the best, so good that even if he didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t find any negative words to criticize the other person’s acting skills.
Is this still acting?
Lei Qie was a little distracted.
He had always thought that acting wasn’t a difficult thing; it was just about pretending, about systematically expressing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
In fact, a person’s life was a constant performance. Pretending to be happy when angry was acting; crying when you’re not sad but to please the crowd was acting; and starring in a movie was just acting for a larger audience.
But at this moment, personally acting opposite Si Huang, the more he scrutinized him, trying to find his flaws and weaknesses, the more confused Lei Qie became, doubting his original thoughts.
Acting seemed to be more than just a matter of feigned expressions and body language; even the clothes worn and everything around seemed to become part of the drama because of the actor.
“Lift your head and let me see you,” a voice from above whispered in his ear.
Lei Qie realized what he should do, but before he could fully process what he was doing, he sluggishly raised his head.
A face, still exquisitely beautiful even when viewed from below, came into view. Especially from this angle, his light pink lips and long, thick eyelashes were clearly visible, his beauty transcending gender.
The silver-haired young priest stared intently at him, his gaze so focused that it seemed the whole world could only see him, and he was the only figure imprinted in his eyes.
Lei Qie’s breathing quickened as a hand gently stroked his brow, the smooth, cool touch feeling very comfortable.
The hand belonged to the silver-haired priest before him, as delicate as snow-white jade.
“Indeed, it’s the golden eyes of royalty.”
Lei Qie opened his mouth to say something, but the minister beside him excitedly spoke up, “Not only does he possess pure-blooded golden eyes, but he also inherited the power of bloodline unique to the first generation of royalty. On his way to the capital… oh no, it is His Highness the First Prince, he was harassed by some commoners. It was at that moment that His Highness unleashed his power— it was truly magnificent! It’s as if he were the golden son of the first emperor of the royal family; the glory of the royal family can never be tarnished!”
“What’s your name?” The silver-haired priest’s gaze remained fixed on the kneeling young man before him.
“His Highness the First Prince is called Lei Qie… ugh!?” The minister’s voice abruptly stopped.
A divine attendant, who had appeared behind him at some point, plunged a sword into the minister’s abdomen.
“Bang—” The minister’s obese body collapsed to the ground, his eyes still filled with bewildered shock. “Why…why? Bishop…Your Excellency…”
Blood flowed quickly, reaching Lei Qie’s feet in moments, soaking his dusty clothes and trousers.
“…” Lei Qie’s nose twitched, then he lowered his eyelids, his eyes widening as he watched the flowing blood on the ground.
When he raised his head again, a flash of cold light appeared before his eyes, and the sword’s edge had already sliced across his neck.
“Hiss!” The icy chill and stinging pain triggered Lei Qie’s instinctive defense, and his eyes narrowed sharply.
According to the plot, he should be dead by now, but Lei Qie seemed to have forgotten that. He braced himself with one hand and leaped to his feet, clearly intending to retaliate against the silver-haired priest wielding the sword.
“Not good!” Xiao Jin cursed under his breath and immediately stood up.
Finn, who was beside him, reacted even faster, already taking a large step to rush to the rescue.
However, what happened next made both of them stop in their tracks, frozen in place like everyone else, only one word flashing through their minds— Holy crap!
The silver-haired priest in the arena seemed to have sensed Lei Qie’s intention, and just as the man was about to leap up, he raised his foot and kicked him right in the center.
The 1.8-meter-tall man was sent flying with what looked like an elegant kick.
And that wasn’t all! Yes! Not all! Even after being kicked like that, Lei Qie could still somersault in mid-air, landing on his legs with a relatively unshakeable posture.
He looked up, revealing a fierce glint in his eyes, but before he could even see what was going on, he heard a whooshing sound against his side. His fighting instincts kicked in, and he raised his hands to block in time.
“Bang!” A leg collided with the man’s arm, and Lei Qie was kicked to the ground.
“Cough!” He gagged uncomfortably, a look of astonishment flashing across his face. How could this guy be so strong?
[Your Majesty, is it too much of a waste to specially consume Little Pink to enhance your power just to teach this guy a lesson?] Five Treasure cautiously poked its head out. If it caused His Majesty to NG scenes, the consequences would be dire.
Si Huang silently replied, “It’s not a big deal.”
[Your Majesty is wise!] Thinking of the huge profits it had made these past two days, Five Treasure suddenly felt a surge of arrogant pride, [Your Majesty, do you need to improve it a bit? Kicking only half a meter away is no fun at all. If you’re going to kick, you should kick it with flair!]
Si Huang ignored it. Multitasking while acting was no easy feat. She wanted to teach Lei Qie a lesson to make him behave, but she wouldn’t put the cart before the horse and neglect her own role.
Si Huang stepped on Lei Qie’s right hand, pinning him to the ground, and gently stroked his forehead, saying softly, “Death is not terrible. You will be guided by the Father God.” Then his other hand, holding a long sword, plunged the blood-stained blade into his body without hesitation—
“Ugh!” Lei Qie’s wide eyes were filled with resentment.
He lost!
From beginning to end, this person dominated the game.
Even his impromptu change of tactics only made his defeat more humiliating!
For Xiao Jin and the others watching from the sidelines, this impromptu performance by the two was absolutely brilliant. After the previous “Holy crap,” three more words popped into their minds: “Awesome!”
These three words were naturally directed at Si Huang.
This villainous big boss, the silver-haired bishop in his holy priestly robes, killed with such elegance and grace. Watching him subdue that wild, leopard-like man was like a clash between civilization and primal forces, strangely harmonious and exhilarating.
Many female staff members blushed, their voices suppressing screams: “So handsome! So handsome! So handsome! He’s on top! He’s on top! He’s on top! Oh my god~ The little wild leopard killed by his worshipped god. He was going to turn into the king of the forest, just to come back and subdue the noble, aloof, and unapproachable bishop. Oh my god, love-hate relationship!”
“…” The male staff members next to them were speechless.
Now that it was certain Lei Qie wouldn’t foolishly ‘come back to life’ again, Xiao Jin didn’t call a halt, and Si Huang naturally continued filming.
He released his sword, stood up from the body of the dead prince, and a priest brought him a silver basin of water.
Carefully washing his hands, which were spotless, the silver-haired priest wiped his palms and turned to walk towards the inner sanctum.
“Gouge out his eyes.”
The priest behind him silently bowed and accepted the order.
