The third prince indeed lived up to his reputation, so domineering, outright demanding to snatch things.
How could Jiang Xiaobai easily submit to Xiao Wuwei’s demands? Joking aside, it doesn’t matter who saw it first, what matters is who got it first.
Otherwise, could I say that I saw your treasures in the Thousand Yuan Dynasty first, so they are all mine?
So Jiang Xiaobai didn’t give Xiao Wuwei a pleasant look.
“Third Prince, isn’t this claim of yours rather tyrannical, saying that you saw it first?”
“If you saw it first, why did I snatch it up before you?”
“I could even say that I was about to make a move when you noticed it.”
Xiao Wuwei clearly didn’t expect Jiang Xiaobai to dare to talk back; his status in this eastern province may not be the highest, but it was enough to make people shudder.
Especially his torturous ways; they were something people could hardly forget.
Generally, anyone who confronted Xiao Wuwei wouldn’t dare to cross him, but wasn’t this young man in front of him being entirely too brazen, daring to talk to him like this?
In response, Xiao Wuwei squinted his eyes coldly at Jiang Xiaobai.
“You’re the helper my Seventeenth Sister called over, aren’t you?”
“Heh, didn’t she tell you that you should scamper off the moment you see me?”
Interestingly enough, Xiao Yuwei did tell Jiang Xiaobai precisely that. But would Jiang Xiaobai listen?
Under normal circumstances, he would certainly avoid him, but in the current situation, there was no way he was going to hand over the Ghost Mother Flower.
Joking aside, on what grounds should he?
“Third Prince, this item is already in my hands, how can you still try to snatch it?” Jiang Xiaobai scoffed.
“There has never been a time when I didn’t get what I wanted.”
Xiao Wuwei coldly huffed, “Boy, I’m giving you one last chance, hand over the Ghost Mother Flower promptly or else don’t blame me for taking it myself.”
“Then it won’t only be you getting into trouble, but your master might also get involved.”
“A joke, what master, you actually consider me Xiao Yuwei’s loyal dog?”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered, “If you want this item, that’s fine, but you can’t just take it without giving anything in return, there must be a price, right?”
“Insolent!”
The strong men behind Xiao Wuwei immediately scolded him, “Third Prince was gracious enough to speak with you kindly, and this honor alone should be enough for you; don’t push your luck.”
“Your Highness, Third Prince, why waste words with such an insignificant person, just kill him directly and snatch what you want.”
From the side, a cold smile spread over Xiao Wuwei’s face.
“That’s true indeed.”
“Since you, kid, are so desperate to die, don’t blame me…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Xiaobai sprang into action, hurling a punch towards Xiao Wuwei.
Xiao Wuwei, of course, was not prepared for this, but being a Dividing the gods early stage power, his reaction speed was extremely fast. He immediately extended his hand trying to catch Jiang Xiaobai’s fist.
Simultaneously, a cold smile filled Xiao Wuwei’s eyes.
“Such an overconfident tramp, daring to strike at me, the prince?”
In his eyes, he could easily capture Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist, and then, without any effort or special techniques, he could easily kill him.
But what he absolutely didn’t expect was that Jiang Xiaobai had anticipated this.
His move was not really meant to hit Xiao Wuwei, but to feint.
Bang!
A puff of smoke suddenly erupted from Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, and he quickly retreated, pulling on AnRan’s collar as he ran backwards.
With impressive speed and strength, AnRan was parallel to the ground almost instantly.
A puzzled expression appeared on the chubby face of AnRan. By the time he reacted, they were already far away.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and no one managed to react. After all, in their eyes, Jiang Xiaobai’s little strength was as threatening as a harmless puppy.
Why bother about him?
Such carelessness gave Jiang Xiaobai the space he needed to bluff and escape without any further ado.
Thereupon, Xiao Wuwei’s face turned red with anger, clenching his fists and the veins on his forehead popping up.
“Damn it, dare to pull such a stunt on me, looking for death!”
“Chase after him!”
“Catch him, I have to grind him to dust!”
Such humiliation was indeed lethal for Xiao Wuwei, cataclysmic moreover, if that kid ran into Xiao Yuwei and gave her the item, then all was lost.
The Royal decree forbade in-fighting among the royals.
Any royal who broke this rule would be severely punished.
Even though this place didn’t have any surveillance, Xiao Wuwei dared not make a move because they were all royal members, all vying for a chance to enter the Mad Demon Secret Land, none of them ordinary individuals.
They had their own tricks, which he didn’t believe they wouldn’t use.
Especially Xiao Yuwei, she looked naive, never vying for anything, but definitely had deep schemes.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wuwei became even more eager to catch Jiang Xiaobai and teach him a lesson.
However, just as he was about to give chase, he suddenly felt something off.
“Hiss, why does my face itch so much?”
Xiao Wuwei’s heart sank, his hand instinctively reaching up to his face and feeling something that made his skin crawl.
His face was inexplicably breaking out into small bumps.
As soon as his fingertips grazed them, the bumps became unbearably itchy.
The rapidly spreading itch on his face made Xiao Wuwei wild with anger. He knew this must be Jiang Xiaobai’s doing and did not dare scratch it!
“Bastard!”
“When I catch you, I will eat you alive!”
Meanwhile, ahead, Xiao Wuwei’s men were in hot pursuit of Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan. Although they were fast, Jiang Xiaobai was not slow either.
Using his Wind Movement, he was as fast as a Dividing the gods early stage power travelling at full speed.
AnRan, being held by Jiang Xiaobai, was fluttering in the wind like a flag, her eyes filled with horror as she stared at the five Dividing the gods early stage powers not far behind.
At this moment, only one thought was running through AnRan’s mind.
“Big brother, hurry up!”
“They’re catching up!”
“I bloody know that!”
Jiang Xiaobai roared incessantly. He knew he had to be fast, but he couldn’t push any harder. He was already at his limit!
“Damn it, I gotta risk it!”

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai let out a roar in his heart, immediately changing directions and darting off to the right.
On their way here, they had passed a vast muddy area where many powerful Ghost Crocodiles made their home.
This was the only way he could stall the ones chasing them from behind.
So without hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai plunged right in.
Frustrated, he thought to himself, whether it’s live or die, it’s up to fate now!
