778 Ji Wuzi! (1/2)
Wang Baole was about to land his 200th kick, but he paused after hearing the youth's words and lowered his head to look at him.
Seeing Wang Baole retract his foot, the youth heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly raised his head to look at Wang Baole. He kept cursing him in his heart but didn't dare to show even a tinge of displeasure on his face. Instead, he squeezed out quite a bit of flattery towards Wang Baole.
”Are you tired, Daddy? I'm very skilled at massage. Why don't you lay down there? I'll give you a massage and ease your fatigue. You can teach me a lesson once you're done resting.”
Wang Baole raised his eyebrows and looked at the youth's flattering face. It was obvious that he was skilled at doing this and that he did it regularly. This caused Wang Baole's suspicion about his identity to rise in his heart again.
He felt that other than this guy's weird body, there was nothing else about him that seemed princely. That was especially so because of his skilled flattery. It pleased Wang Baole a great deal, and his expression became softer. After sizing up the youth a few more times, he spoke coldly.
”If you were so well-behaved earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer my beatings. Well, Daddy didn't really want to beat you. Behave yourself. Tell me, how were you teleported here?” Wang Baole coughed, raising his hand to touch the youth's head.
Hearing Wang Baole's words, the youth instantly felt like crying. On the one hand, he was beaten up previously. On the other hand, he knew why it happened. The person in front of him just beat him up viciously, and he should hate him. But… as Wang Baole touched his head, alongside his words that could be considered somewhat warm, the youth strangely felt moved.
So he quickly nodded, tried his best to maintain his look of flattery, and responded.
”Daddy, I really am from the Black Earth Empire, I'm a pri…” Speaking to this point, the youth saw a flash in Wang Baole's eyes, so he immediately roused himself and quickly changed his words.
”Daddy, I was wrong. I'm not a prince, I'm just a peasant from the Black Earth Empire. I rely on acting to support myself. When I was performing for the prince in the palace, I was suddenly teleported here…” the youth said while crying. Fearing that Wang Baole wouldn't believe him, he even took out his identity token.
”Look, Daddy, this is my identity record from my empire. I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied. Please forgive me, Daddy.”
Wang Baole's gaze flashed, and he took the token to take a look. Sweeping across it with his consciousness, he indeed saw the youth's identity on the token. But other than that, there was no other information.
Wang Baole didn't really believe him when he said he was a prince. But now, when the youth said he wasn't a prince, Wang Baole was still suspicious.
Could it be that he was actually some prince that I beat to submission? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He suddenly raised his right hand and pressed onto the youth's Tianling acupoint. Not waiting for the youth to react, he unleashed the Dark Art's soul-searching technique.
This wasn't Wang Baole's first time using the soul-searching technique. But the moment he searched, his expression changed slightly. This was because… the youth's memories were completely blank. There was nothing there!
This kind of situation was impossible even if he soul-searched a fool unless the person's memories were completely wiped out by someone, and no new memories were added. But from the youth's performance, this was impossible.
Interesting… He's not obstructing my soul-search, but his memories are completely blank. Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and thought secretly in his heart about the possibility of this youth actually being a prince…
As Wang Baole thought, the youth's body trembled, and fear appeared in his eyes. Seemingly afraid of getting beaten up again, he paused for a while before speaking with a shaky voice.
”Don't be mistaken, Daddy. Since I was young, my body has been different from everyone else. Other people have searched my soul before and similarly didn't get any results. I also don't know what's going on… Please don't beat me up.” As the youth spoke, tears trickled down his face again, falling on the caligae that he claimed one hundred thousand concubines weaved for him using hair.
Looking at the youth's cowardly behavior and considering that he was only at the Core Formation realm, looked ordinary, and didn't have an aura like himself, Wang Baole thought again and did a body search on the youth. This included his storage bags. He didn't even neglect the small mirrors on his clothes.
After finally confirming that they were trash, Wang Baole furrowed his brows. He secretly thought that this guy didn't own any Dharmic treasures, and he could tell that he was poor just by looking. Even if he was some prince, the civilization he belonged to must have been extremely weak.
After coming to this conclusion, Wang Baole instantly lost interest in the youth and was too lazy to even ask for his name. He spoke coldly.
”Alright, no matter your identity and background, it's none of my business. Look out for yourself.” As he spoke, Wang Baole turned around and prepared to leave.
