When the mother-daughter trio loudly walked in, Xander had been leisurely resting on his bed, his mind wandering through several pressing matters.
While the others simply rejoiced at the godly opportunity to pursue treasures and inheritances in the labyrinth, he alone had the responsibility to consider the supposed golden opportunity from every single angle.
Even if he misses a small detail, the lives of many strong experts could easily disappear in an instant.
It was up to him to make sure that they were not walking into a catastrophic trap. He himself didn't have the slightest clue of what was there inside.
And the very fact that the labyrinth entrance was guarded by a spell that required huge masses to enter at the same time made him feel uncomfortable.
As Xander was pondering about these important things, a certain snake casually brought over a pair of noisy blabber mouths inside.
The rabbit who was harassed by the hyenas had now successfully lured the hyenas over to the lion's den.
But the lion himself had a different reaction.
Xander found himself being amused rather than angry at this unwelcome intrusion.
"Hmm… She sounds like she is doing better…" The man's thin lips curved upwards. The small smile made his already enchanting features look absolutely divine.
But then suddenly, he heard Tang Yue spouting a bunch of random nonsensical rules, that too using his name.
"How daring! She absolutely doesn't fear me! Heh." The mad man chuckled and he sprung up from his bed with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Even if he was busy with something else, this snake was constantly pulling him into her world.
On the one hand, she always had a frightened bunny-like expression, but on the other hand, she was constantly poking him.
Xander paused a little and chuckled, before heading out of his chamber.
Tang Zuelo, unfortunately, was standing very close to his side of the quarters and was instantly caught off guard.
Damn it! She cursed Tang Yue inwardly.
Didn't this trash tell me that the prince was not here at the moment? How is he here now? She was instantly terrified.
The man's domineering aura made it harder for her to breathe.
"Greetings, your highness." Tang Zuelo immediately bowed deeply and greeted the man in front of her, standing tall like a mountain.
However, Xander didn't even spare a look in her direction. He directly gazed at Tang Yue and asked her in his cold commanding voice.
"Why are others inside my private residence?"
Both Tang Zuelo and Tang Yue instantly felt shivers running down their spine.
Before Tang Yue could say anything, Tang Zuelo instantly replied with shock and surprise written on her face.
"Aya Aya. I am so sorry, your highness. I beg for your forgiveness on my daughter's stead."
"She was feeling very lonely, so she forced me to come here."
"Please forgive us, your highness." She hurriedly explained.
Tang Yue smiled. Of course! Everything was going just as she had expected!
The woman had instantly passed the blame onto her just like she had expected.
Xander, however, again ignored her and his gaze lingered on the smug-looking snake.
Still not afraid of me, huh? He side-stepped the blathering step-mother and directly walked towards the snake.
"Do you think you now have the authority to treat this place as your own?" The man smirked as if he was pure evil.
He was now standing so close to her that Tang Yue felt a tremendous pressure on her.
Her face turned red and buckets of sweat started pouring out of her.
"No… That… I mean. My concubine mother... called unfilial." Tang Yue turned her face and mumbled her words incoherently.
She had come in here with a carefully crafted plan to land her dear step-mother and sister in deep trouble, but the mad man's gaze and his unique scent on her face made her forget everything and she blurted out the words in nervousness.
The damned bastard had once again ruined her plan! Can't you for once go along with my script???
With the exception of her cultivation base, she had just now broken through to the Martial realm.
Tang Yue had thought that her nervousness and anxiety would have reduced. But she still found herself frozen solid in the presence of the tyrant.
Xander chuckled. At least you still know some fear! He was satisfied. He was not sure if he wanted her to fear him, but messing with her sure felt good.
He then leaned in more closer and grabbed the nervous snake's jaw.
But suddenly, a surprised look quickly flashed past his eyes. She is in the Emperor realm already? He could sense the progress of her mental strength.
Heh. The mad man paused and then grinned, sending more chills down the snake's trembling spine.
Damn you, bastard! Tang Yue cried inside.
Tang Zuelo, who was standing on the side, watched the scene dumbstruck.
Tang Yue might have missed it but Tang Zuelo could clearly see how well the man was treating her.
She gnashed her teeth and silently stood, unable to do a single thing to intervene in their special bubble.
She cursed herself for being stupid and not marrying her own daughter into the elven royal family.
While she was helplessly racking her brain and scheming in her mind about what to do next, Tang Xi, of course, was one step faster.
Out of nowhere, she leaped forward and knelt on the floor, holding Xander's feet and bawling her eyes out.
"Please, your highness. Show us mercy. Please don't punish my sister." She wedged herself between Tang Yue and Xander.
And more importantly… Tang Xi was unexpectedly almost half-naked…
Her slender figure trembled as she literally knelt at the feet of the man and her loosely tied robe had come undone in the process.
Her voluptuous body was tastefully exposed and coupled with her mesmerizing looks and fresh makeup, she looked absolutely breathtaking.
She had a perfect golden figure with a slender waist and well-endowed breasts, which slightly bounced as her body trembled.
