The Real Young Master Was Sold as a Slave, The Obsessive Crown Prince's Forced Love - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Don’t Kill the Little Fish

Song Yu knew his novice martial arts skills meant it was impossible for him to charge forward and fight a big battle.

He could only find a different way.

A different, a different… how to find one!

Clutching his head and pulling his hair—

He’s got it!

Taking advantage of the chaos, Song Yu bolted toward Shiliu Alley (Pomegranate Alley).

【What is Little Fish trying to do?】

【I don’t get it, why is he throwing these broken baskets at the alley entrance?】

【Feels like he’s crazy. It’s so chaotic, there are unattended horses nearby. If it were me, I’d grab a horse and run. I really don’t know why he’s stalling.**

【The NPC must be forced to follow the plot, he’s just cannon fodder, about to go offline… F*ck? What’s he doing!】

In the middle of the confusion, Song Yu dragged all the nearby broken baskets, planks, and rags he could find and piled them up at the entrance of Shiliu Alley.

Seeing a man in a moon-white robe, sword in one hand and clutching his shoulder with the other, run toward him from the fighting, Song Yu quickly tossed a flint into the rags.

The rags had been soaked in oil.

The fire licked at it, and boom!

A large fire instantly flared up here.

Qi Wang’s two subordinates held off the assassins, allowing Qi Wang to escape and immediately retreat.

He headed straight for the nearest alley.

After only a few steps, he watched as a large fire suddenly erupted at the alley entrance.

Qi Wang’s steps abruptly halted, his dark eyes brimming with a bloody killing intent. He gripped the sword hilt tightly, staring at the blaze for an instant.

Was someone trying to stop him from taking this alley?

A cold smile tugged at his lips.

Then he would go this way anyway!

Song Yu: …

Rebel!

I set a fire, why don’t you take another route, why are you still coming this way!

Frustrated, Song Yu grabbed his head—

What to do!

“What to do! Why is the alley entrance suddenly on fire? The Crown Prince isn’t going to come this way, is he!” Inside the alley, the man sent by Earl Anping stared anxiously at the fire and asked his companion.

“You wait here, I’ll go to the alley entrance to check the situation. Wait for my signal!”

Earl Anping had sent two men. The one with slightly stronger martial arts made a decision and headed toward the alley entrance.

Song Yu watched the Crown Prince approach, thinking he should take advantage of his weakened state and…

He then saw a person emerge from the side of the burning alley entrance, an area without fire.

Song Yu vaguely recognized this person from a sighting at Earl Anping’s manor.

Immediately, his hand moved faster than his brain. Song Yu grabbed a stick nearby and threw it at the person.

Having just emerged from behind the big fire, the person didn’t have time to clearly see the situation in front of them. Caught off guard by the attack, he immediately raised a hand to block it.

Bang!

The stick fell to the ground.

Whoosh!

Qi Wang stopped.

Watching the person who emerged from behind the fire block the stick and effortlessly break it in two with a single raised hand, Qi Wang reacted instantly—

An ambush!

He turned and walked in the opposite direction.

The moment Qi Wang turned, Song Yu let out a huge sigh of relief. He then used another stick to viciously flip the burning broken baskets and rags in the fire, throwing them up high.

The man had just blocked a stick and was trying to see what was happening outside when a burning broken basket, scattering flying ashes, flew toward him.

He instinctively dodged backward.

Shielded by the fire and smoke screen, Song Yu quickly swung onto a horse and galloped toward the Crown Prince.

【F*ck!】

【Little Fish actually saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!】

【The original plot wasn’t like this. What’s going on? Someone tell me what’s going on!】

【Now that the Crown Prince wasn’t rescued by the people from Earl Anping’s manor, does that mean Earl Anping’s later rebellion won’t implicate the Crown Prince?】

【Does my tragic and beautiful Crown Prince have a chance to win? Does my Little Fish also have a chance not to go offline?】

【Doesn’t that mean Little Fish has hope for revenge? Suddenly, I’m more excited!】

By the time Song Yu rushed over, Qi Wang was about to faint from excessive bl00d loss.

Song Yu, on horseback, bent down and scooped him up—

So heavy!

He almost didn’t catch him.

Luckily, he wasn’t a delicate scholar, devoid of strength or skill!

Before he was recognized and taken back by Earl Anping’s manor, he was raised by a hunter.

He had plenty of strength and skill!

Gritting his teeth, Song Yu hauled the Crown Prince, who was as heavy as a dead pig, onto the horse and galloped away.

【Hahahahahahaha, Little Fish directly snatched the person away! The Crown Prince’s entourage and the assassins are all stunned!】

【It’s a total mess. The entourage is closely chasing the Crown Prince and blocking the assassins. The assassins are closely following to kill the entourage and chase the Crown Prince.】

【The last time it was this chaotic was when Li Yunlong attacked the county seat!】

【The people from Earl Anping’s manor are still fighting the fire monster.】

【Hahahahahahaha, ‘fire monster,’ that’s hilarious.】

Song Yu ignored the words constantly appearing on the screen, rushing the Crown Prince straight toward Lengyun Mountain outside Qinghe County.

There was a courtyard on Lengyun Mountain where he used to stay when hunting with his adoptive father.

Familiar with the area, Song Yu retrieved the key from beneath a rock next to the courtyard gate and opened the door.

Qi Wang was already unconscious. When Song Yu lifted him off the horse, he was burning hot all over.

Song Yu didn’t bother tidying the room, which hadn’t been occupied for over half a year, and placed Qi Wang directly on the heated brick bed (kang).

He reached for a quilt, about to go out and dust it off before covering Qi Wang…

Ugh…

His neck was suddenly seized.

【Oh my god, you scared me!】

【Wasn’t the Crown Prince unconscious? When did he wake up!】

【Holy crap, his sudden move startled me so much I almost dropped my milk tea!】

【He’s not going to strangle Little Fish, is he? Let go, Little Fish meant no harm! He saved you!】

Caught off guard with his neck seized, a gasp escaped Song Yu’s throat, followed by suffocating lack of air.

The hand clamped around his neck was burning hot.

Using the last bit of clarity he had, Qi Wang put all his strength into grabbing the person’s neck, clenching hard, and forcing himself to sit up.

His scarlet eyes held vigilance and killing intent, and his voice was hoarse, “Who sent you?”

Song Yu couldn’t breathe, struggling to pry the Crown Prince’s hand away, but as soon as he raised his hand—

Bang!

He was slammed backward against the wall by the choking grip on his neck, his raised hand caught and pressed against the top of his head by that wide, burning palm.

His occiput slammed into the wall, making Song Yu’s head buzz with pain.

Qi Wang’s bl00d-stained face was inches away.

Feverish, his breath was as hot as his hand. His eyes, full of malice, stared at the face before him.

【No, don’t kill Little Fish, Little Fish saved you!】

【Qi Wang, calm down!】

【Crap, is Little Fish still unable to escape the fate of death?】

【He wasn’t bought and locked in a secret room by that scumbag Gu Zhen, but now he’s being killed by the Crown Prince?】

In his suffocation, Song Yu noticed the scrolling text and was about to answer when Qi Wang suddenly leaned in, his lips landing on the side of his neck.

Song Yu: !!!

Song Yu: OuO…
