ATFBETIBM 178.2

His hands were rough, with obvious crisscrossing scars on the right hand, which should have been formed from years of pulling on the reins. The left hand was in much better condition, and although it was also rough, there were no obvious scars or wounds.

He looked about 18 or 19 years old. Bai Lixin moved his eyes to the boy’s hair, and he quickly perceived that although the hair was black, short brown traces could be seen at the roots.

This boy’s hair must have been brown.

Bai Lixin looked at the boy and spoke, “You seem to be afraid; are you afraid of your impending death or are you afraid of the king and queen?”

The young manu looked up at Bai Lixin and opened his mouth to speak, but eventually gritted his teeth and said nothing. He paid his respects to Bai Lixin and just walked away.

Bai Lixin did not eat breakfast, he had just eaten before he fell unconscious and was not hungry yet.

The manu walked in front, and Bai Lixin followed.

When they were walking down the corridor, he saw that the football players had just finished playing and were coming from the opposite side.

Manu saw them and subconsciously leaned to the side of the corridor.

Then he looked at a tall boy in the middle and then at Bai Lixin, and after some thought, he pulled Bai Lixin to the side as well.

The manu then subconsciously lowered his head.

The group of youths, all drenched in sunshine and vitality, came talking and laughing. Bai Lixin realized that everyone’s attention was focused on one person in the middle, the one who happened to kick the ball towards him when he was walking in the morning.

As the group drew nearer, they quickly noticed this side.

It could be that they noticed Bai Lixin, and the conversations that had been going on stopped, and a few even bowed their heads. The youth who had been the center of attention kept his head raised, and although his expression was forbearing, there was a hidden arrogance in his eyes.

As the two looked at each other, Bai Lixin could even see contempt in the other’s eyes.

Bai Lixin: “???”

Such hostility?

“Stop!” Seeing that the youths were about to leave, Bai Lixin called out to stop them.

As he spoke, he took in the suddenly tense body of the manu beside him.

A dozen people turned back at the sound of his voice, and because of the suddenness of the call, their expressions had not yet changed, and they were all a little dazed and confused.

The youth at the head of the group was about the same height as Bai Lixin, and he narrowed his eyes at Bai Lixin and said, “Did you call us, Your Highness the Prince?”

The words “Your Highness, the Prince” came out of his mouth, but there was a faint sneer in his tone.

Bai Lixin’s eyes swept over the youth’s body; he didn’t say anything, but his eyes grew clearer.

He coughed lightly and spoke in a tone even more arrogant than the youth’s: “What is your name, servant?”

This time, not only did the manu tremble again, but the dozen or so people around the youth also stared with expressions of disbelief.

The youth’s haughty eyes changed, and a blazing fire burst into his eyes.

His whole body tensed up like a small beast, and his eyes glared at Bai Lixin. If not for the people around him stopping him, he would probably have rushed up to fight with Bai Lixin in the next second.

“Wait, calm down! He is His Royal Highness the Prince!”

“Yeah, it’s wrong to…hit His Royal Highness. Don’t hit His Royal Highness.”

“Don’t forget your current identity!”

The people around him tugged at the youth’s arm, and only then did the youth take a deep breath and squirm as he rushed towards Bai Lixin, “My name is Mia, Your Royal Highness.”

The last words, “Your Royal Highness”, were almost said through clenched teeth.

Bai Lixin narrowed his eyes and nodded toward the young man. “Mia, right? If your kicking skills are so bad, don’t come out and make a fool of yourself next time. What if you kick my father and mother? They are both old, if anything happens to them, can you afford it?”

“When the time comes, killing your whole family won’t even atone for your sins.”

There were several gasps from the crowd, and the manu’s body had shaken into a sieve.

The fire that the youth had managed to suppress was unknowingly ignited by those words, and the boys beside him pulled hard on his arm to prevent him from moving, so he could only curse at the top of his voice: “Good, good!”

“Remember what you said today, and you wait! I’ll have your ass in a few days.”

“Well, Your Highness,” the youth sneered, “I wonder if you will be able to see the sun by then.”

“I wish you all the best, Your Royal Highness.”

With these words, the youth turned around and left with a huff.

Only when the youth was far away did Bai Lixin gently pat the already frightened Manu’s shoulder.

As soon as his palm landed on the manu’s shoulder, he immediately jumped up from the ground like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and looked at Bai Lixin in horror.

Bai Lixin urged him, “Shall we keep walking?”

As if stunned, the manu nodded in a daze and continued walking forward with a numb expression, walking crookedly and almost bumping into the guards on several occasions.

In the live broadcast room

[Hiss, that youth named Mia is so fierce. I feel like his status is unusual, could he be the king’s illegitimate son? Why else would he dare to speak to His Highness the Prince like that?]

[Yes! Fuck, that’s His Royal Highness the Prince. Our God Xin has finally got a character with high status, and someone dares to disrespect our God Xin? Blind his dog eyes!]

[Which character? The prince who was cursed to become a daffodil? God Xin: Whoever wants this noble status can take it, it’s bad luck!]

[Whoever said that God Xin finally got a high status has forgotten about that time he was a “Saint”.]

[Hahahaha, there’s also the “Little Mom” character; it had a high status.]

[Speaking of the copy where he was a “Little Mom” copy, it was really fragrant. God Xin also had long hair in there, I wonder if he can replicate or surpass the Little Mom literature.]

[Little sister, I suspect that you are driving a car to engage yellow, but I have no evidence.]

*Yellow means something pornographic or sexual.

[There wasn’t even a word with color, but every word is yellow, awesome.]

[Let’s wait and see! It’s been over two years since God Xin was locked up, and we haven’t had meat. God Xin is the real Bodhisattva; all the other people are secretive and don’t treat us like human beings.]

[I boldly guess that Mia’s identity is definitely not ordinary. He is either some kind of noble or has some noble status. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so arrogant.]

[That manu seemed scared, and he was almost scared silly. It felt like a little rabbit had entered a tiger’s nest; he is so pitiful.]

[Why do I get the feeling that God Xin has discovered something and is teasing that arrogant Mia on purpose?]

[I have that feeling too.]

[Is that Mia really the king’s illegitimate son? So he is not afraid of God Xin, and can curse even him? Was God Xin venting the Queen’s anger on her behalf? What a dog blood drama.]

[Umm! Although it has too much dog blood, it makes sense! Other than that, I can’t think of any other reason. So it must be it!]

———————–

“Scared?” Bai Lixin looked at the trembling manu beside him and asked, “Is it because I teased the real Prince Rapunzel?”

The manu’s head, which had been lowered, was lifted abruptly, and his trembling eyes were filled with surprise and astonishment. “How did you find out?”

Immediately after he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly gritted his teeth and shut his mouth, his expression growing more and more terrified.

Bai Lixin had no intention of making things difficult for the manu, “Let it go, I’m not tricking you, I already discovered that something was wrong a long time ago.”

Only then did the manu look at Bai Lixin again and ask, “How did you find out?”

Bai Lixin: “There are too many flaws.”

“If the King and Queen had really wanted me to assume a manu’s identity, they would have instructed the servants not to address me as ‘Your Royal Highness’ when they saw me. Isn’t there a saying, ‘To deceive your enemies, you must first deceive yourself’?”

“And their ‘deception’ was too perfunctory. A change of room and a change of clothes, but no change of address? Is the curse foolish?”

“The king and queen look so shrewd, they’re not fools either, are they? Since neither is a fool, the problem is with me.”

“So, if I’m not the real prince, but the real substitute behind the fake substitute, wouldn’t that explain everything?”

“When the servant came to invite me, she was respectful but did not have the kind of fear she should have for her superiors. This is a slave society and status is a gulf that can not be crossed. At first, I thought it was because I, the prince, was sympathetic to my subordinates and got along with them that she was like that.”

“But on the way to the dining hall, the maid suddenly showed real fear when we met the football players. At first, I thought I had done something to make those players look scared, but the maid didn’t have that fear before so the sudden cautiousness wasn’t towards me.”

“So I had two guesses at the time, one was that there was a very high-ranking official in the group, and the second was that there might be a member of the royal family.”

The manu stared at Bai Lixin in astonishment: “So you did that on purpose? You guessed that he was the real Prince Rapunzel but you dared to play him like that.”

“What’s wrong with playing him?” Bai Lixin narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, “My old attacker gave me this life so that I could walk out alive, not to be used as a scapegoat for others. My life is so valuable that it is worth a hundred billion years, are they worthy of using it? Since they want me to be a scapegoat, they should be prepared for me to strike back.”

The manu listening in awe: ????

What is happening, I know every word, but why don’t I understand when they all come together?

What old attacker? What 100 billion years?

Did this man not only lose his memory but also his mind?

Help! Mom won’t let me play with stupid people.
