Elder Yang got stunned and muttered in surprise to defend himself: "I… I am sorry, but I do not have any meaning to…"

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy immediately cut his words and said with a cold tone: "It looks like I have to remind you again. All of this mess here has nothing to do with me. You are the one who dragged me into this mess. I should still be happily enjoying my sight-seeing to look at the scenery around Tang Feng City without any care about the serial killer and whatever it is if you did not drag me here. Elder Yang do you really hate me so much that you even bothered to do all of these to me?"

Elder Yang felt very guilty after he heard the blaming words from Tang Li Xue's perfect copy. He wanted to apologize to Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, but before he could say anything…

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy quickly added again: "Oh, and also… Do not forget that I did not even want to follow you to come here at first, but it was you who kept forcing me to come here! You even blackmail me into accompanying you for a few days in the end! I actually do not want to embarrass you by saying all of these in front of so many people, but it seems you really did not have any guilty conscience at all, so I am forced to do this."

Any beauty could easily trigger anyone's pity and yearn, not to mention a stunning kingdom-toppling beauty like Tang Li Xue. All of the people here already felt extremely pitiful to Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.

From the perspective of all the people here, her every word was true. She had nothing to do at all with all of this mess. 

If not for Elder Yang's invitation that made her a special guest here, she would certainly not involve in any of this mess.

It could be said the one who wronged her the most was Elder Yang.

She must have a very good temperament and great patience since she did not even throw any tantrums and blamed Elder Yang for it until now.

After thinking about it, all of the people here started to think that Elder Yang was really bullying her too much.

Elder Yang: "….."

Elder Yang already became completely speechless right now. He did not even know what to say anymore.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy pushed the cup of wine on her table and said again with a chilling cold tone: "Anyway, I do not want to drink this possibly poisoned wine of yours. I want to see if you really would kill me because of it. I also want to see if all of these are actually your plan to push me to death."

Elder Yang glanced at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy for a few moments in silence, while Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was staring back fearlessly at Elder Yang.

For some unknown reason, Elder Yang's heart winched in terrible pain when Tang Li Xue's perfect copy stared at him with a pair of cold chilling topaz blue eyes as if she was staring at a malicious stranger. 

'Stop it!'

'Do not stare at me! Don't you dare to stare at me like that with Xiao Bai's eyes!'

'I… really cannot stand it… No, I really hate it! If you kept staring at me like that… I might really do something bad to you…'

Elder Yang's expression turned darker as his figure immediately flashed, and he appeared in front of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy in an instant.

'Holy crap! He is already starting to play rough now! Oh no, this is bad… I might push him too far just now!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy started to regret her recent pushy action.

Actually, she only wanted to bluff Elder Yang to trigger his guilty conscience toward her. But if he started to get angry at her, she already planned to take a step back and said that at least she would be the last one who will drink that special wine later. 

Unfortunately for her, it looked like Elder Yang did not plan to let her say anything anymore.

"Wait, I…" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy said as she wanted to explain it, but Elder Yang already stood right in front of her.

Elder Yang suddenly stretched his hand forward, but Tang Li Xue's perfect copy already prepared herself.

She planned to avoid Elder Yang's hand, but who knew that Elder Yang actually did not plan to touch Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.

Elder Yang's hand actually grabbed the cup of wine in front of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and drank it himself in one gulp.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was completely dumbfounded. She widened her eyes and dropped her jaw without realizing it.

Even the Emperor and the other people were also dumbfounded by Elder Yang's action.

After drank the wine in the cup, Elder Yang crushed the cup in his grasp into dust, and then he stretched his hand again toward Tang Li Xue's perfect copy.

This time, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was still in her dumbfounded state, so she did not even have time to avoid Elder Yang's hand.

Elder Yang firmly grasped the chin of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy between his thumb and index finger.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy winced in pain when Elder Yang used too much strength to hold her chin. She wanted to shout in anger and scold Elder Yang for it, but her words were stuck on her throat when she saw Elder Yang's eyes.

Elder Yang's obsidian eyes have a tint of crimson light at the center of them.

Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception] could faintly feel insanity and madness hidden deep inside his obsidian eyes. It made Tang Li Xue's perfect copy shivered a bit in shock and fright.

Elder Yang bent his body forward and got closer to Tang Li Xue's perfect copy until their faces were only a few centimeters away from each other, then expressionlessly muttered: "You do not like my wine, right? I already drink it for you. So, can you stop staring at me like that and give me your bright smile?"

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy could even feel Elder Yang's hot breathes on her skin right now, but she suddenly felt that something bad will happen if she refused to do it.

It was not her [Extrasensory Perception] that sensed it, but it was more like her hunch.

So, she subconsciously curved her pink lips upward and smiled beautifully like the most beautiful flower blooming to Elder Yang.

After looking at her captivating smile, all of the uncomfortable dark feelings in Elder Yang's heart had vanished in an instant. 

He smiled gently back at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy while softly pinched her delicate nose and said: "Good. You are really beautiful, but you will become even sweeter and lovely if you smile like this often."

Elder Yang released her nose and walked back to his seat while said: "Miss Chou is my guest. I am the one who personally invited her to come here, so she does not need to drink the wine, but the others must still drink it without any exception!"

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy sighed in relief when Elder Yang got away from her.

'Wait a minute… why the hell do I need to feel relief or afraid of him?! Tsk, he even dares to take advantage of me?! I swear I would definitely make him pay for this sooner or later!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy thought as she pouted her pink lips in displeasure.

That meant only Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Crown Prince Feng that must drink the special wine yet since everyone in this banquet already drank it.

At first, the Empress Dowager did not want to drink this suspicious wine and wanted to argue about it, but she felt much more reassured now since even Elder Yang had already drunk it before her.

The old Empress Dowager raised her cup and drank the wine in one gulp too without complaining.

Meanwhile, Crown Prince Feng still felt really hesitant whether to drink it or not.

The Empress seemed to realize Crown Prince Feng's hesitation and decided to say something to comfort him: "I always believe Elder Yang would never do something to harm us. Since everyone here already drank it, and nothing strange happened to them, then there is no reason for us to worry about it."

"I understand, Royal Mother! Then this son will drink it first to make it sure!" Crown Prince Feng said with a firm tone as he raised his cup and drank the wine in one gulp too.

The Empress smiled gently at her son and nodded at him in approval.

Just when the Empress wanted to praise her son for it, Crown Prince Feng's expression suddenly turned pale and…

PPPUUUUFFFFFFF~!!!

He spurted a few mouthfuls of fresh blood from his mouth.

The expressions of the Emperor and the Empress turned aghast in that instant, and they immediately shouted with a worried tone: "Feng er!"

All the people there were also very shocked because of it, but their reaction was one step too late compared to the Emperor and the Empress since both of them already ran toward Crown Prince Feng in haste to check on his condition.

But both the Emperor and the Empress immediately stopped by Elder Yang from approaching the seriously wounded Crown Prince Feng.

Elder Yang explained to them with a cold tone: "Do not approach him so carelessly! He is not your beloved son, Crown Prince Feng, but he is the serial killer in disguise!"
