Volume 2, Chapter 106 – Ready to Perform

Whether it was because of the pain in his lower body or sheer rage, Xue Tian’ao pointed at Vidoru with a trembling hand.

“You actually dared to snip my balls?! Have you grown tired of living!”

“Forgive me, Your Imperial Highness, I had no choice!”

Vidoru prostrated himself, kowtowing frantically against the floor as he explained, “The burns and infection were far too severe, so severe that they were irreversible. If I hadn’t amputated it in time, the terrifying Shadow Essence in the infected area would have continued to spread. By then, Your Highness, you might have lost both! Even your ham sausage wouldn’t have been saved! You could have even lost your life! I did all this for your sake!”

“You!!”

Hearing the medical officer’s sincere words, Xue Tian’ao could only stare at the man in impotent fury.

“Get out! Get out of my sight this instant!! You useless trash!”

“Yes, yes!!”

Facing Xue Tian’ao’s roar, Vidoru scrambled to grab his medical kit and rushed out of the bedroom in a pathetic state.

However, before leaving, Vidoru couldn’t help but add one last instruction: “Your Highness, during this period before the wound heals, you must refrain from sexual activity! Don’t get too excited either, or the stitches will burst, and then it will be even…”

“Shut up! Get out!!”

Accompanied by the Crown Prince’s hysterical roars, Vidoru fled the palace in disgrace.

Seeing that Vidoru had left, Toma, one of Xue Tian’ao’s trusted aides, approached the bed with some trepidation and spoke cautiously.

“Your Highness, please try to calm down. It was already no easy feat to save your manhood under the erosion of Shadow Essence. Doctor Vidoru did it for your own good.”

“I know…”

Xue Tian’ao rubbed his forehead, replying with a complicated expression. He knew Vidoru meant well, and the man held an A-grade value, not a B or C grade that could be discarded at will. Otherwise, he would have slaughtered that bastard doctor on the spot!

And besides, who said balls couldn’t be saved!

Potions capable of countering the erosion of Shadow Essence could be redeemed within the ‘Hall of the Holy Spirit’! If not for that, how could he have charged into Inferno’s sea of fire so recklessly?!

However, although he eventually defeated Inferno, he had fallen unconscious due to his heavy injuries. When he woke up, one of his balls had simply vanished?!

He took a nap, and a ball was gone?

‘Damn it!’

Xue Tian’ao clenched his fists tightly as he recalled the culprit who caused him to end up like this—that flame demon king who was shrouded in intense flames. Rage began to burn within his heart.

Inferno, that damned thing!

‘Was that Abyssal Demon toxic or something? Why did she spend the entire fight aiming specifically for his crotch and his face?’

He had to get revenge, and he had to make it brutal!

Thinking of this, Xue Tian’ao turned his head and looked at the golden-armored knight beside him with a cold gaze. “Toma, what is the situation with the Flame Demon?!”

“Reporting to Your Highness, that monster is currently imprisoned within the Celestial Dungeon. In accordance with your previous orders, she has been firmly suppressed with ‘Soul-Suppressing Locks’ to prevent her power from recovering.”

“I know that. What I care about is whether Garfield has figured out how to kill that monster!”

“Apologies, Your Highness, not yet. Garfield’s research has only just begun…”

“Tell him to hurry up!”

“Understood.”

“…”

Taking a deep breath, Xue Tian’ao looked through the window toward the rear of the imperial palace, where the Celestial Dungeon was located.

There was no doubt that now, having become a One-Nut Wonder, he couldn’t wait to destroy that demon king tier Abyssal Demon. On one hand, it was to avenge his balls; on the other, it was to obtain points! As long as he gained enough points, he could break through to the eighth tier as quickly as possible. When that time came, his lost ball would return!

Even though he had defeated and captured Inferno, he still couldn’t figure out where that mass of flames’ vital point was, much less how to completely destroy her. If he couldn’t kill her, what was the point of this operation?

‘Damn it!’

Xue Tian’ao couldn’t help but curse inwardly. Unfortunately, all he could do now was hope Garfield cracked the secret of Inferno’s body soon and figured out how to kill this flame demon king.

As Xue Tian’ao was lost in thought, Toma seemed to remember something and spoke up cautiously once more.

“By the way, there is one more important matter to report, Your Imperial Highness.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“It’s about Pelochi, who went to the Northern Frontier. He has mysteriously lost contact, but before he disappeared, he sent back some information.”

As he spoke, Toma picked up a large black tablet from a nearby desk and handed it to Xue Tian’ao.

“The Northern Frontier, huh…”

Upon hearing this news, Xue Tian’ao fell into a brief silence. He familiarly activated the black tablet, and in an instant, flashes of light appeared as various pieces of intelligence entered his vision, including the report sent back by Pelochi.

The moment he clicked on that specific intelligence, Xue Tian’ao’s eyes widened. He froze on the spot!

‘This woman? Who is she?!’

After being dazed for several seconds, Xue Tian’ao finally snapped out of it. An emotion called ‘greed’ slowly emerged within those azure eyes, and then, as expected, his stitches burst.

In an instant, a scream like a slaughtered pig echoed through the palace.

“Ah… AHHH… AAAAGH!!”

At the same time, deep underground at the rear of the imperial palace, within the Celestial Dungeon.

The dungeon was currently guarded by tens of thousands of elite troops. The presence of countless powerful knights and the surging magic power of high-tier mages made the already oppressive dungeon feel even more suffocating. In the center of the dungeon, dozens of magical seals and suppressions were active.

Right in the middle of these seals was a massive fireball with a radius of about five meters. The fireball burned fiercely, like a sun that would never be extinguished.

This sphere of intense heat, which constantly emitted a terrifying pressure, was the primary reason for the heavy guard presence.

Staring at the crimson fireball that was filled with destructive energy and inspired dread, Garfield, who had been sent by Xue Tian’ao to research the orb, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat. After all, the pressure felt when being so close to a demon king tier existence was extraordinary.

Even as a sixth tier powerhouse, he found it difficult to resist, and under the effect of the intense psychological pressure, the thought of resigning and fleeing even began to surface in Garfield’s mind.

“No, no, no! What am I thinking!”

This thing was nothing more than a loser defeated by the Crown Prince, so what was there to be afraid of!

After shaking his head vigorously, Garfield discarded the unrealistic thoughts. His gaze then filled with a sense of admiration. He hadn’t expected that the Crown Prince could actually defeat a demon king tier existence with seventh tier strength.

As expected of the man who would soon save the world.

Since that was the case, to repay the Crown Prince’s appreciation for his talents, he couldn’t let him down.

After encouraging himself, Garfield looked solemnly at the researchers behind him.

“Start recording the values immediately! Prepare to begin the experiments. We must find out how to kill this demon as quickly as possible. We absolutely cannot disappoint the Crown Prince, understood?”

“Understood!”

In response to Garfield’s words, the group behind him erupted with a thunderous reply. Their voices were filled with an eerie fanaticism…

Meanwhile, inside the crimson fireball.

A red-haired woman with a naked, graceful figure and an alluring face was quietly curled up, floating within the flames. Karina didn’t care about the experiments being conducted on her by the outside world. She simply stared intently at the palm of her hand as if she were reminiscing about something.

‘To make the act convincing, I need real feelings.’

Recollecting Saibok’s past words, Karina grit her teeth.

‘In order for the plan to go smoothly, I need to practice first.’

While muttering in her heart, Karina suddenly raised her hand and delivered a sharp slap to her fair face! Then another slap! And another!

After dozens of slaps, Karina’s small face was flushed red, and a trace of tears appeared in her crimson eyes.

The next moment, seeing that the emotions were in place, Karina raised both hands to clutch her head.

“Wuwuwu… Mother, someone is bullying me, wuwuu…”
