Why must the devil be Defeated? Chapter 176: I just said that

Chapter 176: I just said that.

Lake Heart Island, Royal Palace.

Shane finally made it here again, and having shown the pendant given to him by Luoqi to the guards, he was respectfully welcod in by the knights.

However, along the way, Shane was constantly draped with bags both large and small, looking very much like a whipped man who had just finished shopping with his girlfriend. He received odd looks from many knights and civil servants who passed by.

On the contrary, the gorgeously dressed nobles whispered to each other upon seeing Shane.

“Is that man possibly…?”

“Ah, that’s right, it’s him…”

Conversations like these occasionally popped up among the nobles, letting others know they had recognized Shane.

Of course, once they recognized him, so looked quite hostile, and so even seed like they wanted to intercept Shane.

Unfortunately for them, they didn’t realize Shane had already seen through their intentions, internally lanting over the cliché storyline while having no ti nor desire to play along with the young nobles’ sches. So, when he saw them prepare to approach, he flicked small pebbles he had concealed earlier with the ease of shooting marbles.

“Ah!”

“Wow!”

“Ouch…!”

Suddenly, all the young nobles intent on causing trouble cried out in pain, falling to the ground, either struck in the knee or the stomach by the pebbles. So who almost had the word “arrogance” written on their faces were hit directly in the groin area, rolling on the ground in agony, wailing and calling for their parents.

Shane nipped all the ridiculous plots in the bud, wasting no ti in putting on airs as he headed toward the Princess’s chambers.

When Shane arrived, it was just as before, full of sycophants all over the place.

The sycophants naturally recognized Shane as well, all with hostile expressions, eventually all of them, save for a few onlookers, were lying on the ground, clutching their groins and howling like ghosts and wolves.

The scene frightened the smug young nobles, who were ready for a spectacle, turning them pale and clamping their legs together in fear as their expressions changed to one of terror upon seeing Shane.

Especially since Shane, appearing to act preemptively to avoid the young nobles using the “cri of lèse-majesté” as a reason to trouble him, threw out a sentence.

“I am an Adventurer entrusted with an important mission by the Princess. Anyone planning to waste my ti, if you are ready to be held accountable by the Princess, then co at !”

Shane skillfully shifted the bla, casting all the responsibility onto Luoqi.

Of course, the bla had to be shifted.

Wasn’t Shane here, facing all these troubles, all because of the Princess?

Therefore, it was only right that she should bear these responsibilities.

And just like that, Shane squeezed the young nobles’ Achilles’ heel, leaving them too afraid to even move an inch.

They could act outrageously towards Shane, but if Shane truly was on an important mission entrusted by the Princess and their interference caused a delay, their standing in the Princess’s eyes was bound to plumt.

Such an unfavorable deal was, naturally, not one they wished to engage in.

As a result, the young nobles could only exchange glances, watching with displeasure as Shane walked into Luoqi’s chamber, powerless to do a thing.

They could only console themselves.

“That guy, he must have only gotten close to the Princess because he was secretly entrusted with an important mission, right?”

“It must be so.”

“I knew Princess Luosilusti would never fancy a re Adventurer.”

“Now the truth is clear.”

The group of young nobles started to converse among themselves.

“Once the mission is over, that guy will be put back in his place, right?”

“Definitely!”

“Let’s see if he dares to be so arrogant then!”

“Exactly!”

Throughout the entire royal sleeping chamber, such bitterly sarcastic comnts continued.

Unbeknownst to them, inside Luoqi’s room, a scene was unfolding that would make them burst with rage.

…

“Give it to !”

That was the first thing Luoqi said upon seeing Shane enter.

Moreover, she said it with sparkling eyes and a flushed face.

Shane’s mouth twitched.

“I was planning to give it to you, but now I’ve changed my mind.”

Shane spoke these words rather heartlessly.

“No way! You must give it to !” Luoqi commanded with an undeniable tone, “Leaving all alone here, neglecting for so long, and now that you finally co to see , you’re unwilling to give it to – that’s too much!”

“If it’s too much, so be it!” Shane coldly responded, “I’ve had enough of you anyway; if you like, we can get a divorce right now!”

“You…!” Luoqi’s eyes widened in disbelief, her face full of shock.

Shane, on the other hand, seed resolute, the very image of a heartless scoundrel.

The two faced off against each other, neither willing to back down, staring intently.

It wasn’t until much later…

“What does a divorce an, anyway?” Luoqi finally couldn’t help but mock, “We didn’t even get married, did we?”

“Yes, that’s true.” Shane nodded nonchalantly, “But it just ca out that way, following the atmosphere of the mont.”

“What atmosphere?” Luoqi seemingly transford into a dedicated mocker, “I asked you to give those desserts. What kind of atmosphere does that create?”

“Doesn’t it?” Shane laughed heartily, replying, “But I like your choice of words, so I just went with it.”

“Go with your head!” Luoqi slapped Shane on the chest and extended her delicate hand, saying, “Alright, hurry up and give it to . I really didn’t expect you to bring desserts from Lilith’s family as a gift. I love their desserts the most. I’ll forgive you for not coming to see for so long, just for the sake of the desserts!”

“Do you think I brought them specifically for you? Don’t flatter yourself; it was just a coincidence, a coincidence.” Shane looked down on Luoqi while simultaneously wondering, “By the way, how did you know I brought your favorite desserts?”

“Of course by the sll!” Luoqi imdiately replied with sparkling eyes, “A scent from Lilith’s family desserts, if it appears within a hundred ters of , I can definitely sll it!”

“Are you a dog or what?”

This ti, it was Shane’s turn to mock.

“Stop blabbering! Give it to now!”

Luoqi was already getting impatient, pouncing onto Shane.

“Wait, wait! I’ll give it to you! Don’t just grab randomly!”

Shane exclaid in alarm.

“Hurry up! Stop dilly-dallying!”

Luoqi was quite dissatisfied.

The pair instantly tangled up into a scuffle.

That scene would indeed leave those lovelorn young masters outside shedding tears of blood.
