The Villainesses Are All On My Side, How Can You Compete With Me? - Chapter 11:

Chapter 11: Liu Bai, You’re Too Arrogant

Liu Bai was just nearby. He knew that his father never lost his temper easily, so for him to be this furious, there had to be a reason. He also knew that although the Liu family appeared to avoid politics on the surface, in reality, they had many spies planted inside the royal palace. Whatever happened in the palace, the Liu family would be the first to know.

“Father, what happened?”

Liu Jianglong looked at Liu Bai with a slightly complicated gaze and handed over the intelligence report in his hand, “See for yourself.”

Liu Bai took it and glanced at it. Instantly, his expression turned cold.

“Good, good, very good, Empress of Great Zhou Empire!”

“She actually dared to pull something like this on me!”

He clenched his hand, and the intelligence report turned to ashes.

“Xiao Bai, this matter won’t be easy to handle. The Empress is already suspicious of us, and we haven’t even officially proposed to the Luo family yet. Now that she’s granting a marriage by imperial decree, if we interfere, we’ll draw the ire of the masses,” Liu Jianglong sighed helplessly. They had been one step too late.

“How many people know about this imperial decree?”

“The decree is still on the way to the Luo family. Once it arrives, it won’t take long for the entire capital to know.”

“Then we’ll make sure that decree never arrives,” Liu Bai said indifferently.

Liu Jianglong’s eyes narrowed slightly, already guessing Liu Bai’s intentions. “Xiao Bai, are you planning…”

Liu Bai looked at Liu Jianglong and asked, “Would that make things difficult for you?”

Though the Liu family had no fear of the imperial court, a direct confrontation would still cost them dearly.

Liu Jianglong slapped Liu Bai on the shoulder and laughed, “Difficult my ass! If you want to do something, then do it! In this Great Zhou, even if the sky falls, your father will hold it up for you!”

“Thank you.”

“We’re father and son, no need for thanks.”

Liu Bai smiled faintly, then walked out of the Liu residence.

Meanwhile, a eunuch had set out from the royal palace, riding quickly toward the Luo family with the imperial decree in hand. He was well aware of its contents and knew what kind of shockwaves this decree would cause in the capital. He didn’t dare to delay.

Soon, the Luo family residence came into view.

But right at that moment, someone appeared in the middle of the street.

The man wore white robes, stood with his hands behind his back, and had a handsome face, though a cold indifference lingered between his brows. He looked at the eunuch and said calmly, “Get off your horse, eunuch.”

The eunuch narrowed his eyes, surprised, “You’re… Young Master Liu Bai of the Liu family.”

“Indeed, I am.”

“You do realize that what I carry is an imperial decree. Stopping me is the same as stopping Her Majesty herself. Aren’t you being a bit too bold?”

The eunuch spoke coldly, his tone filled with disdain. As one who served the Empress, he naturally had no fondness for the Liu family—especially since this young man had recently defeated the Crown Prince, utterly humiliating the royal family.

“Of course, I know you’re carrying an imperial decree. Otherwise, why would I stop you?” Liu Bai said, curling his lips.

“You dare intercept an imperial decree on purpose?! Such audacity! Is the Liu family planning a rebellion?!”

The eunuch roared furiously.

“It’s just an intercepted decree, how does that amount to rebellion? Eunuch, you’re exaggerating,” Liu Bai replied with a faint smile.

“I’m warning you one last time—stand aside!”

The eunuch snorted coldly, and a powerful aura erupted from his body. It was a Battle Spirit aura—far stronger than that of the Crown Prince!

As the Empress’s personal envoy, this eunuch was no ordinary man. His cultivation had already reached… 7th stage Battle Spirit Realm!

Even the Crown Prince would be no match against him!

“Then let me say it again—hand over the decree,” Liu Bai said calmly, not budging an inch.

“Fine, fine, fine!”

“As expected of the Liu family—such wild ambition. I’ll subdue you right here and now!”

The eunuch no longer held back. Since Liu Bai was intercepting the decree, he had already committed a grave offense. Even if he were captured now, the Liu family would have no grounds for complaint.

Swish!

The eunuch leapt down from his horse. With a swipe of his fingers through the air, he lunged fiercely at Liu Bai, releasing a violent surge of aura. A claw-like shadow formed in the sky—a hawk’s talon striking like a predator swooping down on a rabbit!

But Liu Bai still stood in place. Just as the eagle claw was about to strike him, spiritual power erupted violently from his body!

At the same time, a phantom of a mighty Heavenly Venerable appeared behind him, radiating an awe-inspiring and domineering force, standing loftily above all!

In that moment, the eunuch felt as if he were facing a presence even more terrifying than the Empress. His pupils shrank, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.

This wasn’t the Heavenly Tyrant Body!

It was another, far more terrifying constitution!

Suddenly, Liu Bai threw a punch.

His fist came down like a sacred mountain.

It was the Liu family’s high-level battle technique—Mountain-Shaking Fist!

But under the blessing of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable Body, the power of this technique exceeded even its original limits!

Boom!

The eunuch’s eagle claw was shattered instantly. His body was struck head-on by the force of the punch, sending him flying backward as he vomited blood.

His bones, organs, and flesh were smashed into pulp.

A 7th stage Battle Spirit cultivator—killed in one strike!

Witnesses on the street trembled in shock, unable to believe what they saw.

“Liu Bai actually killed someone at the 7th stage of Battle Spirit Realm!”

“Wait, he… he killed the Empress’s decree envoy! What is he trying to do? Is he starting a rebellion?!”

“Heavens! Is the capital about to descend into chaos?!”

“This is going to shake everything!”

Ignoring the crowd’s shock, Liu Bai walked up to the eunuch’s corpse, reached down, and retrieved the imperial decree. He unrolled it and took a look.

As expected—it was a marriage decree for Luo Li.

He glanced in the direction of the royal palace.

Vaguely, he felt a gaze fall upon him—it was the gaze of the Empress of the Great Zhou Empire.

He knew she was a Battle King powerhouse.

And Battle King cultivators possessed terrifying perception. Their gaze could even pierce hundreds of li to observe distant happenings.

She had undoubtedly seen him kill her eunuch.

He even sensed a cold killing intent.

But he felt no fear at all.

He had the Liu family backing him. In his hand, he held an Emperor Weapon…

What did the Empress of Great Zhou count for?

If pushed too far, he’d activate the Emperor Weapon. Even if his current strength only allowed him to unleash less than one ten-thousandth of its power, that was still enough to kill a Battle King!

With that thought, Liu Bai raised the decree toward the sky, then gently slapped it with his palm.

Boom!!

The imperial decree shattered, turning into golden scraps of silk.

Killing the eunuch. Destroying the decree.

He was blatantly provoking the Empress of Great Zhou!

His meaning was crystal clear…

Luo Li is mine.

If you want to interfere—get through me first!

Inside the palace, the Empress of Great Zhou suddenly slammed the Dragon Throne, her face twisting in fury as an overwhelming killing intent surged out from her body.

“Liu Bai, you’re too arrogant!!”
