Chapter 38 Hopeless

“What can you do?”

Ciel’s question was simple, the tone of his voice was also relaxed, one could probably laugh because they thought he was joking.

Unfortunately, this situation made his words give people a feeling of despair.

Although sometimes wise people said that there was nothing you couldn’t achieve as long as you tried, but how could one pass through such a high Ice Palace.

Even if Ciel said that to a God, that God might still find it very difficult.

Luca, on the other hand, was only a young genius. Even if he was given another thousand years to cultivate, the result might still be no different. 𝑂𝑽𝐿xt.𝑪𝑜𝗆

“You?” The man staggered, literally almost falling over.

“I can beat you!” In the end, he could only say that.

Unfortunately, Ciel responded to his words with a light laugh.

“Then, how are you going to beat me?” asked Ciel.

“Hahaha, Prince, there’s no need to keep talking to this idiot boy, how about we just beat him up?” The old man selling wine laughed.

He stepped towards Luca.

When the old man following Luca wanted to make a move, the middle-aged man selling chicken suddenly blocked his steps while pointing his sword at him.

“You?” The old man couldn’t help but show an annoyed expression.

“You’d better stay there, old man,” the middle-aged man replied.

At the same time, Luca snorted at the old man selling wine.

“You think you can beat me, old man!” He said coldly, releasing his ice aura which although it was still at the Sixth Stage of the Hegemon Realm, but its aura was so dense that it gave an uncomfortable sensation to those with cultivation above it.

It seemed that he was fighting with the Eighth Stage.

However, the old man suddenly laughed.

“Idiot boy, do you think only geniuses have great combat power,” he said.

BANG!

He slapped Luca on the head.

Surprisingly enough, the man was instantly knocked to the ground, even spewing blood while his aura became chaotic, looking like he couldn’t stand up anymore.

“Your Highness?” The old man escorting him couldn’t help but panic, but knew that he couldn’t get past the middle-aged man.

“This vintner is very strong,” the people watching said as they looked at each other.

“Yeah, he can definitely compete with Luca even if he’s only at the Sixth Stage. Since he’s at the Eighth Stage, Luca is completely helpless before him.”

“No wonder he can steal wine from those monkeys. It seems that he didn’t waste his time while cultivating.”

“…”

Luca tried to stand up only to fail. The chaos of his current cultivation made his body extremely difficult to control.

In the end, he was able to stare at the old man with bulging eyes.

“It only goes up to here!” Ciel suddenly laughed so everyone looked at him again.

This was the power of status.

Weak doesn’t matter. As long as the status is very high, there’s not much he can’t do.

“Prince, I want to hang him over there!” Mu Yixue suddenly spoke while pointing at the top of the wall at the city gate.

Hearing that, Ciel wanted to laugh.

Actually this didn’t surprise him since this woman had once ordered the Ice Palace disciples to beat him up just because his appearance was annoying.

Now, there was another man who was making a big nuisance of her, it was not strange if she punished that man severely.

Unfortunately, Luca who was extremely obsessed with Mu Yixue immediately vomited blood when he heard that.

He looked at Mu Yixue in disbelief.

Her words didn’t cause any real pain, but the sensation was as if his heart was pierced by a thousand poisonous needles.

Luca would definitely prefer to have his soul torn to shreds rather than experience this kind of pain.

“Miss Mu, please be merciful…” The old man who followed Luca begged for mercy for him.

However, when had Mu Yixue ever shown mercy to another person. She only submitted to Ciel because she had no other choice.

Perhaps when the Ice Goddess taught her, the most she was taught was to be cruel to men.

Mu Yixue stared at the old wine-selling man, signaling him to do as she wished.

The old man responded with an excited smile.

He grabbed Luca’s clothes before throwing her against that wall.

Whoosh!

Luca was thrown quickly and landed perfectly there. His clothes were wedged in the cracks of the wall so that his body was hanging on the wall.

Unfortunately, he was still unable to move so he couldn’t leave.

At this point, he could only vent his anger.

Although he still loved Mu Yixue, he also came to hate her deeply.

“Yixue, if you don’t kill me now, I will definitely be a disaster for you in the future, and even if I die, I become a ghost that will always come into your nightmares.” He shouted loudly, his voice spreading to many areas so that people who knew nothing were confused.

What he said made Mu Yixue narrow her eyes for a moment, she then said to Ciel, “prince, we better just kill him.”

Actually, that was a good choice, but for some reason Ciel didn’t want him to die so easily.

He would rather see him live and suffer.

To be honest, he had always disliked genius men with big backgrounds like Luca. They tended to be too arrogant and dismissive to those below, always assuming they were better just because they were talented. Alex was a similar example.

Although the current Ciel could also be said to be rampant, but that was more because he enjoyed his power. Overall, he still has a rational way of thinking.

In the end, he said, “just leave him there first, later I’ll ask for a special formation that can solve this problem. If there isn’t one, then we’ll kill him.”

For the time being, it didn’t matter if Luca lived because he couldn’t do anything in this town either. People will watch over him for him.

Mu Yixue agreed with his suggestion, she nodded and said, “let’s go, I don’t want to be here longer.”

Apparently, Luca’s appearance spoiled her mood a little.

However, her words made Ciel smile.

“Are you impatient to be alone with me in a room, Miss Mu?” asked Ciel, even calling her by her title.
