Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Detained By Force

Zuiying saw the shadow guards surround him and immediately fought back with his martial art skills. However, it’s hard to face enemies all around with just two fists. Soon enough, he was seized.

“Let go of me!” Zuiying struggled non—stop.

Xu Ziling walked up to Zuiying with a wicked smile and said, “There’s a big gift waiting for you back at the manor. Don’t you want to go see it?”

Zuiying scowled at Xu Ziling. His instincts told him it was nothing good.

Xu Ziling leaned up against General Xu, then said in a sweet voice, “Thank you daddy!”

General Xu affectionately stroked Xu Ziling’s head. “Ling’er, are there any other shadow guards you want? I can get them for you,” he said softly.

Xu Ziling shook her head and smiled. “No father. I just one want the one shadow guard—Zuiying.”

General Xu smiled lovingly at Xu Ziling, then spoke to Han Moze. “I still have orders at hand, so I shall take my leave. Take care, Your Majesty.”

Han Moze furrowed his brows and flatly replied, “Take care, General Xu.”

Then, General Xu and Xu Ziling walked out of the palace with dozens of shadow guards and a detained Zuiying behind them.

Han Moze gazed at the silhouette of Zuiying’s back and sighed, then turned heel.

After Han Moze returned to the Dark Moon Palace, Han Moxi and Lian Jiuhua arrived to visit him.

“Royal brother, it’s fantastic that you’ve seen things through!” Han Moxi wore a gentle smile on his face that could practically melt hearts.

Lian Jiuhua patted Han Moze’s shoulders and smiled happily in silence.

Han Moze squinted slightly, then spoke with determination in his voice. “I must find Shuang’er no matter what.”

Lian Jiuhua and Han Moxi felt much better seeing Han Moze with his new found confidence.

Zuiying fought furiously throughout the entire journey but it was no use. “Xu Ziling, quickly let me go! Even if I did something bad to you, the humiliation from these past few days should have been enough to make up for it all. What more do you want?” He couldn’t help but yell angrily.

Xu Ziling came to a stop, then spun around and coldly replied, “Zuiying, you teased me in front of everyone. That’s enough for me to kill you a hundred times over!”

Beside her, General Xu suddenly erupted in fury. “Ling’er, this shadow guard actually dared to tease you? Outrageous!”

“I didn’t tease Young Miss Xu. Please believe me General Xu. General Xu, I have heard of your extraordinary vigor in battle, your decorum, and your air of righteousness, so you must know just how unruly your own daughter is. I simply ate the congee that Young Lady Xu prepared for His Majesty, but Young Lady Xu has thought of every means possible to make life difficult for me. She even used…”

Xu Ziling’s gaze sparkled for a moment and before Zuiying could finish, she hurried smiled at General Xu. “Oh Father, you should head back first. This shadow guard is incredibly crafty. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have slipped through my fingers. His words cannot be trusted!”

“General Xu, I beg that you let me go. I’ve been framed! General Xu, if you have a speck of justice in your heart, you mustn’t protect your daughter’s chaotic ways and allow for her to torture me!” Pleaded Zuiying with General Xu in an emotional voice.

“Gag Zuiying! I don’t like hearing his nonsense!” cried Xu Ziling coldly at the shadow guards on both sides.

“Yes, Young Lady!” Replied a shadow guard, as he pulled out a handkerchief and shoved it violently into Zuiying’s mouth.

Zuiying’s cries were muffled.

General Xu stared at Xu Ziling and spoke to her in a gentle voice. “Ling’er, every person is raised by their parents. Don’t randomly kill innocent people. If this shadow guard really didn’t do anything wrong, then let him go after you’ve had your revenge!”
