Chapter 217: Eliminated

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Third Prince’s residence, he had been very cautious recently.

There would definitely be a large group of experts following him whenever he went out.

However, he did not know that Su Wen had already infiltrated his house.

In the kitchen, Su Wen had completely changed into a different person.

“Little Li, look at the fire, especially His Highness’ Snow Ginseng Matsutake Soup. You have to use a medium fire to slowly stew it for two hours. Don’t let anything go wrong.”

The chef instructed before leaving.

Su Wen sat in front of the Third Prince’s soup and smiled.

This body was that of a servant in the Third Prince’s residence.

Su Wen found an opportunity to kidnap him and interrogate him about everything he knew. Then, he used the system to disguise himself as this fellow and infiltrated the Third Prince’s residence.

The Third Prince really cared a lot about maintaining his looks.

The Snow Ginseng Matsutake Soup was also something the Third Prince would want to drink every day.

It was made with premium matsutake as well as eight different supplements.

A smile appeared on Su Wen’s face as he looked at the clay pot on the flames.

In the front hall, the Third Prince was already preparing to eat.

All the dishes had been served. According to his habit, he would have the soup first every day.

Only after would he then start eating the other dishes.

However, before eating, the Third Prince took out a jade pendant.

The pendant was made entirely of Clear Wind Rhino Horn Jade, which could detect hundreds of poisons.

He was very careful. Everything that entered his mouth had to be tested first.

The servant took the Clear Wind Rhino Horn Jade and placed it into the soup first.

After a while… there was no reaction from it.

Su Wen, who was hiding in the dark, heaved a sigh of relief.

He also did not know if this Sex Change Pill could be considered a poison or not.

However, he was already prepared. In any case, he had already split the medicinal pill into two. If he failed this time, he could still prepare for another opportunity.

Fortunately… this thing was not picked up through the jade.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the soup, the Third Prince picked up the bowl and started drinking.

The servants continued to examine the other dishes.

Su Wen, who was hiding on the roof, watched as the Third Prince finished the entire bowl of soup. His heart settled down.

“This soup today… is especially delicious… Get me another bowl…” The Third Prince ordered.

At this time, someone suddenly reported that the Fourth Prince wanted to see him!

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes and said, “Let him in.”

Not long after, the Fourth Prince entered.

Compared to the Third Prince, this Fourth Prince was even thinner and taller, and also gave off a much colder look.

After entering, the Third Prince could not be bothered to show him any respect. He casually asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

The Fourth Prince didn’t mind. He pulled out a chair and sat down.

“Hehe, Third Brother… How can you still sit here so calmly? Father has confiscated all the memorials to petition the Crown Prince, and Big Sister has also participated in all the ministers who went to the palace to give advice. These two are echoing each other. Can’t you tell what this means?”

The Fourth Prince said in a deep voice, “Ever since my Chu Country was established, there have been no women in power. Although you and I brothers don’t get along, our thoughts and concerns are all for the sake of the Chu Country. Could it be that we want to see a woman steal the country?”

“So?” The Third Prince’s expression remained calm. At this moment, a servant brought over a bowl of soup. After testing it with the Clear Wind Rhino Horn Jade, the Third Prince picked up the bowl and drank again.

“Tsk…” The moment he took a sip, he felt that something was wrong.

“Why does this taste a little different? It’s not as good as before… Was it an illusion?”

On the other side, the Fourth Prince said, “You and I brothers naturally have to work together. Let’s push Big Sister out first. At that time, it won’t be too late for the two of us to compete!”

“I…” The Third Prince only managed to say one word.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong… His body felt a little hot…

Following this, something shocking happened.

The Third Prince’s chest swelled up at a visible rate!

His beard also fell off in an instant.

His skin turned from its original bronze color to an abnormally fair complexion…

“What… what’s happening to me?” The Third Prince was even more confused.

His voice had suddenly changed from a man’s to a feminine voice!

He reached out to touch his Adam’s apple and realized that it was gone!

“Ah?!”

The Third Prince screamed and stood up in fear.

When the Fourth Prince saw this strange change, he unconsciously gulped.

The Third Prince hurriedly pulled down his pants…

His eyes widened at the sight!

Over! It’s all over!

How did his little bro become the size of a three-year-old child?

The Fourth Brother quickly stood up.

“Third Sister… I still have something on, I’ll take my leave first!”

“Ah! Fourth, you bastard, what did you do to me?”

“F*ck your father! Don’t slander me. I didn’t do anything!”

The Fourth Prince would never accept this black pot being thrown at him.

“Men, capture him! I want the antidote!”

The Fourth Prince’s guards immediately charged forward to protect their master!

But the Third Prince had more people. Not long after, he subdued the Fourth Prince!

“Give me the f**king antidote!” the Third Prince shrieked.

The Fourth Prince wanted to cry but had no tears. “It really has nothing to do with me. After I came in, I was seated more than 800 meters away from you. I didn’t even go over, so how can you frame me!”

Su Wen was grinning from ear to ear from his hiding spot at the top.

Interesting! How interesting!

A man suddenly turned into a transvestite…

Hehe… Emperor Chu could let a man or a woman succeed the throne… but could it be that he would allow a transvestite ro succeed the throne?

The Third Prince gradually regained his composure. No! It couldn’t be Fourth Brother!

It had to be that bowl of soup!

He immediately realized that something was wrong!

“Get all the chefs here!”

Not long after, all the kitchen staff knelt in front of the Third Prince!

“Speak! Who made my soup today!”

“It’s me!” The head chef spoke.

The Third Prince glared at him and snapped, “What did you put in there!”

“No! I didn’t put anything in!”

At this moment, the Fourth Prince complained, “Third Sister, are you stupid… The person who drugged it probably ran away long ago!”

The Third Prince looked at him fiercely and gritted his teeth, “Xiang Chun, if you dare call me Third Sister again, I will castrate you today!”

The Fourth Prince, Xiang Chun, pursed his lips and fell silent.

Looking at the slightly deranged Third Prince, he laughed in his heart, but also felt a chill.

This was too terrifying.

The Third Prince glanced at the servants and asked, “Are there any of the kitchen staff who’re not here now?”

The chef took a look and said, “Little Li! Little Li is missing! He’s also the one watching over your soup today!”

Pa!

The Third Prince slapped him hard.

The situation was now clear.

“I have to enter the palace! Only Royal Father can save me!” The Third Prince made his decision.

In the palace, Emperor Chu had already fallen asleep.

“Your Majesty… the Third Prince is here to see you! He said that it’s urgent, and he begs you to save him!” The eunuch reported in a low voice.

Emperor Chu slowly opened his eyes.

To be honest, the Third Prince had always been one of his favorites. His schemes were usually quite good.

“The Third asked me to save him? What happened to him?” Emperor Chu slowly sat up and asked.

“Eh… the Third Prince seems to be a little feminine!” The eunuch said honestly.

Emperor Chu frowned. “Huh? Let him in!”

Not long after, the Third Prince entered and knocked his head on the ground.

“Father! Save this son! This son has been a target of harm!”

His sharp voice and fair skin caused his facial features to soften as the effects of the medicine continued to spread.

At a glance, it appeared to be a woman’s face.

However, one could still vaguely see the Third Prince’s looks if they were familiar with him.

Emperor Chu looked at the two lumps on his chest again… before saying coldly, “You’ve become a woman?”

“Not completely… below… is still… just like a three-year-old…”

The Third Prince honestly replied.

“Take off your pants!” Emperor Chu said coldly.

The Third Prince obediently took off his pants.

“Wheeze!” Emperor Chu’s breath caught at the scene and he clutched his chest.

At this moment, the young man appeared again. He placed a hand on Emperor Chu’s back, and Emperor Chu’s expression slowly returned to normal.

“Fourth grandfather, what’s going on?”

“The forced effect of a high-tier Heaven Rank pill…” The young man said softly. “Unless you have a corresponding Heaven Rank pill or a Heaven Rank expert, no one can do anything about it.”

Upon hearing this news, despair appeared in the Third Prince’s eyes. He wailed, “Father, you have to save me!”

“Is there anyone you suspect?” Emperor Chu sighed.

For this situation, he had no other alternatives left to help the Third Prince.

After pondering for a moment, the Third Prince gritted his teeth and said, “It might be Big Sister! Or her lover, Su Daqiang!”

“Presumptuous!” Emperor Chu rebuked angrily, “That’s your sister’s guard!”

‘Hehe, everyone knows, why aren’t you allowing me to say it?’ The Third Prince sneered in his heart, but he did not dare to refute.

After Emperor Chu finished tirade, he asked, “Where’s the evidence?”

“No evidence…”

“Not even a little?”

“Not at all!”

“Then why did you say it was him?”

The Third Prince knew that he could not hide it any longer.

He said honestly, “A few days ago, I gave Su Daqiang a Nine Sunflower Heavy Water to drink and even sent a group of experts to kill him! It’s just that I didn’t succeed.”

“Hmph! How dare you!” Emperor Chu berated. After pondering for a moment, he said, “There’s no evidence for this matter. I can’t easily touch Su Daqiang as well. The Flame God Sect behind him has an extremely deep background. However, I’ll help you ask. If you can’t succeed, then hand over the power of the court yourself!”

And just as Su Wen expected!

Emperor Chu would never let such a Third Prince ascend the throne.

Wouldn’t it be a joke if he became the emperor?

The Third Prince’s eyes flickered with despair as he slowly backed away.

Late at night… a woman’s cry came from the Third Prince’s residence…

“It’s useless! It’s useless! No matter how hard I try, it’s useless!” The Third Prince sat by the bed, his eyes filled with despair.

“I can only hope for Royal Father’s side…”

Meanwhile, Su Wen also returned to the Eldest Princess’s residence.

The two of them laid on the bed… After hearing Su Wen’s description, the Eldest Princess smiled and said, “Doesn’t that mean that Third Brother has really become Third Sister?”

Su Wen smiled. “I don’t think so. The effect of the medicine is only half as strong. I wonder what his lower body looks like… That’s the key.”

“You’re really evil!”

The Eldest Princess leaned against Su Wen’s side and said, “This way, I’m afraid Fourth Brother will also be scared out of his wits!”

Su Wen smiled. “Probably. I wonder if he still has the courage to continue fighting with us.”

“Hehe! Ignore him, I’ll fight with you!”

The next morning, an Royal Decree was passed down from the palace to Su Wen and the Eldest Princess.

This was within their expectations.

However, after entering the palace, it was the Eldest Princess who met Emperor Chu first.

When the father and daughter met, Emperor Chu looked at the Eldest Princess and said in a low voice, “Something happened to your third brother.”

The Eldest Princess looked surprised. “What happened?”

“He has become a monster that’s neither male nor female!” There were naturally no humans that posed themselves as transvestites yet in this era.

Thus, Emperor Chu could only use such words.

The Eldest Princess frowned and said, “I was just about to report to you as well about him. He invited Daqiang to a banquet, but in the end, he played a trick during the banquet. Later on, he even sent experts to intercept and kill him! Royal Father, please uphold justice!”

Emperor Chu was speechless. Last night, the Third Prince had already admitted to his actions.

In the end, the Eldest Princess came to complain. How could he not care?

Emperor Chu pretended to be furious. “This unfilial son! Help him transform back. I’ll immediately punish him!”

Xiang Feiyan looked confused. “Royal Father, what are you talking about? I don’t even know why Third Brother became like that. How can I turn him back into a human? I don’t have such ability.”

Emperor Chu stared hard at Xiang Feiyan. As they locked glances, Xiang Feiyan’s gaze was only full of an innocent curiosity.

Emperor Chu sighed faintly and said, “Let Su Daqiang in. You wait outside the hall.”

Xiang Feiyan retreated while Su Wen came in.

Upon seeing Emperor Chu, Su Wen bowed.

Emperor Chu smiled. “Is Mister Su still used to the capital?”

“It’s pretty good here.”

“Mr. Su, you’re at the peak of the 9th Grade Earth Rank, right?” Emperor Chu suddenly threw out this curveball.

Su Wen did not deny it. “Your Majesty is indeed sharp, to be able to see through it.”

“There’s a problem with my third son. Currently, he’s displaying some male and female appearances. If you can help him recover, there’s a Golden Crow Foot Bone in my Great Chu’s inner treasury. I’m willing to give it to you.”

Su Wen raised his brows in recognition and surprise!

Golden Crow Foot Bone?

Would that thing benefit him?

Su Wen was not sure. But the main problem was that he really could not recover…

Furthermore, Su Wen was not a fool. Once Xiang Feiyan ascended the throne, would Su Wen need an old man like him to pass it over to himself?

Su Wen smiled and said, “Your Majesty, forgive me for being unable to help you with this matter, but I’m only a 9th Grade Earth Rank cultivator. What Your Majesty talked about far exceeds the scope of my abilities.”

Emperor Chu was helpless.

He really wanted to help the Third Prince in this matter, but the two of them refused to admit anything. Emperor Chu had no evidence to say that they were the ones who did it.

What could he do?

If it was an ordinary person, he could naturally use some forceful methods.

However, Su Wen had the Flame God Sect behind him, and Xiang Feiyan was also a part of that Sect.

Xiang Feiyan was also one of the successors he had temporarily set his heart on.

It was destined that this matter could not be forced.

He closed his eyes and said, “Forget it! Forget it! Then please do as you wish, Mister.”

Obviously, he wanted to chase the guest out.

Su Wen bowed and left.

After he left, the young man asked, “Why? Don’t you care about the Third Prince?”

Emperor Chu said indifferently, “If I can’t control it, then I naturally won’t care. The competition for the throne is incomparably cruel. If one is not careful, the entire game will be lost. Third Brother is making things difficult for me. It was a brilliant move to plan to kill Su Daqiang, but he failed on the verge of success and was taken revenge for by others. He deserves it.

Since I let them fight amongst each other, so long as they follow certain rules, I have to do the same as well. Otherwise, what’s the point of competing? I would just have allowed the Third to ascend the throne immediately. I can only say that I was too careless this time.”

At this point, he sighed and said, “Although he lost, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to leave his life behind. Feiyan values relationships. With the Third Brother in such a state, he’s no longer a threat… I don’t think he’ll be so ruthless.”

“Pass down the decree. Whether it’s the commoners or the civil and military officials of the Royal Court, anyone who dares to discuss this matter will be executed!”

The Royal Family had to maintain their reputation and ego.

No one could have imagined that the Third Prince, who originally had the loudest voice, would be kicked out of the game overnight.

However, when everyone saw the Third Prince’s current appearance, they fell silent.

No one knew if he was a man or a woman…

In everyone’s impression, the Third Prince was a man. However, no matter how hard they tried, the undulations of his chest, his fair skin, and his sharp voice all indicated that the Third Prince had undergone an inexplicable change.

Emperor Chu soon issued a decree to strip the Third Prince of all his duties.

Obviously, this was a hidden message.

The Third Prince had been kicked out of the competition.

Furthermore, Emperor Chu had done another act, that was to confer the title of King to Xiang Feiyan!

One had to know that before Xiang Feiyan, no woman in Great Chu was conferred the title of King.

It was not a big deal to be bestowed the title of King with the royal bloodline, but to give it to a woman was equivalent to telling everyone that she might become the next Emperor!

In an instant, the situation within the Royal Court changed.

With the Third Prince as an example, the Fourth became even more careful.

Anything that entered his mouth had to be a living thing. He would first kill it, process it, and eat it on his own.

He did not dare pass on such tasks to anyone else.

He carried all the seasonings with him and only handed them to his subordinates when he made them.

This was to prevent the scenario of it being replaced.

After they were done, they still had to test the food first.

He would only eat it when nothing happened to them after half an hour.

In the Flame God Sect, Wu Yuehan…

She sat in the Purple Bamboo Building alone and felt her pulse.

She looked conflicted.

She was already suspicious at this point whether she was the one with a problem, or the problem lay with Su Daqiang!

She had clearly calculated the date accurately, and she had also undergone several rounds of deep seeding…

But why did it not succeed?

Problem was, if there was something wrong with that guy, then how could his daughter be explained?

Moreover, she was definitely biological. After all, his own talent was displayed there.

Therefore, Wu Yuehan was already suspecting herself…

“Could it be that I can’t conceive? That doesn’t make sense. No matter how you look at my figure, I look like someone who has childbearing hips…”

Wu Yuehan was unconvinced.

She stood up angrily at this point.

“Hmph! I don’t believe it! If I go again this time, I won’t come back if I don’t succeed! I’ll get him for three months. Don’t tell me he can’t hit it after so long!”

Wu Yuehan prepared to go down the mountain once more.

At this moment in the mountain gate… Dongfang Ju looked at the Su Su dancing in the sky.

Too powerful! This talent was too powerful!

Ever since Su Su entered the sect, in just a few months… her cultivation base had increased crazily, and she had already reached the 9th Grade of the Star Rank.

She looked as though she was about to break through to Earth Rank at any time.

How would he know that the effort and methods Ni Hongxiao spent on Su Su made her not belong to the category of ordinary humans?

“If the Sect were to be handed over to a three-year-old girl… wouldn’t that be too much of a joke…”

Dongfang Ju was at a loss, but also happy.

This was such terrifying talent!

Once she matured, it would definitely be a good thing for the sect.

“Su Su! Master will bring you down the mountain to eat good food today! Don’t worry, I will bring a portion back for your mother.”

Outside the Eldest Princess’s residence, the Third Prince alighted.

He was originally a handsome person, and coupled with the effects of the Sex Change Pill, his facial features were soft and his figure was enchanting. Anyone who saw him would think that he was a woman.

Unfortunately, he was still a man at the bottom…

Or more accurately a boy…

“I must change back! No matter the price!”
