Chapter 541: The Sibling Battle

The Third Princess of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom

The third princess of the empire in its final days.

Reincarnation.

Like being reborn.

"Should I call you the Seventh Prince or should I call you… the Last Emperor?" The third princess asked softly.

"Call me whatever you want, but I prefer my current name," Bai Wei replied calmly.

"Your current name?" The third princess sneered. "You’re still the same, two-faced and deceitful, truly hypocritical!"

"Hypocritical?" Bai Wei asked. "Didn’t you enjoy calling it ‘the winner takes it all’? Only the winner has a say."

"Did you win? It seems like you lost badly." The three princesses couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "You lost miserably!"

"Lost miserably? And what about you? A pitiful royal family member who failed in a rebellion?" Bai Wei calmly responded, "Others have the right to criticize me, but you don’t."

"You’ve lost everything, yet you still act so proud?" The third princess sneered, "You had the ability to seize the throne, but couldn’t hold onto it. How pathetic."

Bai Wei shrugged, "I’m happy with my loss, unlike you, who seems so miserable and disappointed. Five hundred years have passed, and you still can’t let go of your resentments?"

He asked calmly, "Even if I had held onto the empire, would you be able to let go of your prejudices?"

"Why should I let go? You took away everything that belonged to me…" The third princess’s voice grew low.

"The throne was never meant for you. By the proper order, you would be third in line."

"But it’s still not your turn."

"You disregard the rules but expect others to follow them. You are so much older than me, so I must give you three points? I might have done that in the past, but now you hold a sword to my neck and expect me to meet my death with ease?" Bai Wei’s gaze was filled with contempt, "You are the third princess of the imperial royal family, and I am the seventh prince. Our statuses are not different, so if you can do something at age thirteen, why can’t I do it at fifteen? If you can be an empress, why can’t I be an emperor? It’s truly arrogant… I’ve lived for two lifetimes, and it’s a pity that you haven’t made any progress. You still enjoy killing family members to prove your point, continuously repeating the same old mistakes."

Bai Wei the cat cried and said, "Poor Fourth Prince, you were blamed by him."

He paused and shook his head, saying, "No, it should be said that it’s inevitable. After all, you haven’t made any progress at all. Since you regained your memory, you’ve been thinking about ascending the throne and treating all blood relatives as enemies."

"Truly… no progress at all!"

"Don’t you think it’s sad when someone constantly repeats the same mistakes, Teresa?"

The three princesses suddenly dropped all their gloom, as if all their previous hysteria was just an act.

"Words are like knives. Your talent for insulting people is as good as your artistic skills, hehe~ It’s been two lifetimes, why should I bother arguing with you about these things? But do you really think that after living two lifetimes, I still don’t have the slightest guard up when I see you?"

Bai Wei shook his head, saying, "You’ve always been cunning since before, willing to do anything for the throne. But that’s not a reason for you to secretly insult others, and I don’t need to lower myself to fight with you."

"Can’t compare to you, my dear tyrant Majesty." The three princesses smiled enchantingly yet fearfully. "I truly thought you were a harmless artist, but you hid it so well."

"If I were really that honest, I would have been dead long ago. Honest people always end up with a gun pointed at them, right?" Bai Wei sneered.

"Do you mean to say that it’s all because of me?"

"No, I want to thank you for clearing the way for me," Bai Wei said, not sure whether he was serious or joking. "Thank you, Three Princesses."

Her expression darkened for a moment, then she smirked contemptuously, "I’ve given you everything, Wangjie, but you, this fool, still can’t withstand it. Tyrants never have a good ending, do they? You’ve lost everything too."

"Everything?" Bai Wei shrugged indifferently. "Maybe… but in my eyes, I haven’t lost anything, nor have I ever truly had those things. What I lost is inconsequential, and what I have is nothing."

These words were all reflections of his heart. Bai Wei never saw himself as an emperor with everything, because he knew exactly who his friends were, who his enemies were, what he needed to defeat, and what he needed to protect.

However, Three Princesses couldn’t comprehend or accept these words.

"Stubborn? Yes, you’ve always been stubborn. Always thinking you were right, holding opinions more mature than your age, looking down on others, showing no interest in the throne. That’s why you’ve become so detestable within the family," Three Princesses mocked and sighed lightly. "Me? I’m sick of the look in your eyes. After I kill you, I’ll make sure to gouge out your eyes…"

But the venomous tone couldn’t shake Bai Wei even a bit.

He smiled and said, "I’m different. I didn’t just think about it, I actually did it… But the difference is, I used to quite like the look in your eyes. So I took out your eyes and embedded them into a statue. If you can find the ancient sculptures from five hundred years ago, maybe you can even dig out your own eyeballs. And the name of that statue… is The Unforgivable Patricide."

They hurt each other, and no one knows if what Bai Wei said is true or false. After all, it happened five hundred years ago, and it was also after the death of the three princesses.

But considering Bai Wei’s mental state at the time, it wouldn’t be surprising if he did something crazy.

The three princesses didn’t provoke the enraged golden lion any further.

Or perhaps, her anger had already crossed the threshold, and continued provocation would be useless.

With one hand resting on her waist, the princess said, "It feels unexpectedly good to hurt each other with words. After all, I never had these experiences when I was alive."

"It’s really meaningless for two dead relics to mock each other face to face like this… It’s all from a past life. If you didn’t show up, I wouldn’t even want to mention it," said Bai Wei expressionlessly.

"Yes, it’s all from a past life, and it’s also meaningless. The empire has been destroyed, and the allied countries will never accept the rule of gold. Everything has become historical dust," the princess raised her chin. "Why not talk about what’s happening now instead."

Bai Wei said, "What else is there to talk about? The Fourth Prince has already been killed by you."

"His matter is not worth mentioning… I have never considered him as my own blood," the princess said coldly. "I distanced myself from him from the beginning, and I tried to control him. Naturally, he held hatred and enmity towards me from a young age. These are not deliberately induced by me, but rather the inevitable result of the fierce conflicts between the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, which are far more cruel than the imperial royal family."

She said again, "But you are even more ruthless… You have killed all the golden lineage in the present era, causing it to completely disappear. Otherwise, with my qualifications, I should have had the golden lineage after reincarnation."

Bai Wei shook his finger, "Don’t say anything merciful to the tyrant, and most of the people I killed deserved to die… Do you really think the Golden Clan is clean? Who doesn’t have blood on their hands? You said before that you hated the look in my eyes, which always carried contempt for blood relatives. That’s right, I do indeed despise all of you parasites who cling to the royal bloodline. It was oppressive when I strangled you, but when I killed other royal members and opened their bloody diaries, it was exhilarating… Even ten-year-old children would write records like ‘killed several people today’. Don’t you deserve to die? Or are you saying that if you become the empress, you have the ability to change?"

He sighed deeply, "Or maybe I said too much, as if I were at Versailles."

The three princesses heard not anger in his words, but rather a sense of self-importance.

"Are you proud of this?"

"Not proud, but satisfied. Even though many people see it as a stain, I have never considered it a burden. As blood relatives, at least I have preserved their basic reputation. Otherwise, according to imperial law, they would have been completely destroyed."

Bai Wei was equally arrogant, perhaps even hundreds or thousands of times more arrogant than the three princesses in certain aspects.

"When I kill them and when you kill him, the nature of these two acts is different."

Teresa sneered, "What’s the difference? I am selfish and self-serving, and you claim to be completely selfless? Such a noble facade, Wei! You’re just trying to solidify your control over the empire and make it your personal domain, making it sound so appealing."

Bai Wei didn’t feel like explaining, "At least I succeeded, while you don’t even have a winning rate of 50%."

Teresa replied calmly, "50%? It’s only a matter of time before I reclaim the Golden Power and wipe out the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."

"Golden Power?" Bai Wei exclaimed, realizing, "No wonder you stayed behind to wait for me."

The Golden Power is the most powerful and mysterious thing in this world. If there’s a way to obtain it, who would be willing to give it up?

"Yes, my dear Emperor. Once you’re gone, I will control all the gold and have absolute power!" The three princesses bent down and held snowflakes in their palms. "Very few people in this world are acknowledged by the gold. As long as you’re alive, it will not choose me."

Bai Wei spoke slowly and deeply, "Once all the golden bloodlines are extinct and the Golden Power can be integrated, it will return to its complete form. And now, in this era, I am the only one with the golden bloodline. Of course, it wouldn’t prefer you, after all, I am the emperor and you are just a failure."

"Did you leave a body behind all those years ago for the present plans?" The three princesses mocked, "Did you know that you would fail? But your body parts were scattered too much. Even I had a chance to pick up a piece."

Bai Wei stared at the left iris of the other person, saying, "Without the golden bloodline, the burden of the golden iris must be heavy, right?"

The three princesses gained power through cunning schemes, but they were not good at fighting. They divided the Golden Power among the guards and left behind apostles, but their combat power remained weaker than other royal family members. Even the once weak Bai Wei had a high-level Golden Power, while she was stuck at the basic level.

"Not bad, much stronger than I was back then. And I am more composed and resilient in this lifetime. I won’t have such obvious weaknesses."

"Even with just your left eye’s golden pupil, it is still stronger than you are now… Wei, you are very weak at the moment."

"Initially, I planned to scheme and force Chao Lu to turn against you, causing enmity between the two of you. That would have been so delightful for me."

"But seeing your face, I think it’s better not to compare, because I want to personally strangle you and let you taste what I felt before!"

Bai Wei said calmly, "You really hate me to the core."

However, Teresa smiled and said, "I love you too, you are my dearest family. If I don’t kill you, I’ll have no peace of mind. So, would you please die?"
