The Devil who devoured Snow White

(Cont. of flashback)

Lu Xian Yu's killing intent was so strong that Han Qinshan's men turned to him, ready to hold him down.

Amidst the heavy atmosphere that filled the room, a shout caught their attention. "Stop bullying my daddy!"

Mengmeng turned to Han Qinshan and puffed out her chest. "Simba's mother once said that a true king is compassionate and kind. Also handsome! But even if handsome, Mr. Wolf King, you shouldn't bully others! My daddy has done nothing wrong you know! My daddy is the nicest person on earth!"

Han Qinshan was taken aback by the little girl's remark. On the other hand, Han Xukun was amazed when he saw how fearless Mengmeng was towards his father. He turned to look at his father's reaction, he was surprised when he saw him smiling. Why was he smiling?

"Yes, a king should be compassionate and kind." He chuckled before adding, "and handsome."

The little girl was nodding her head in approval. It was good that he understood.

"How about it, Little Miss? I will spare your family, I will even give you my protection, in return, you have to marry my son in the future," the man tried to convince the little girl, Mengmeng.

"Han Qinshan, my decision is final." Lu Xian Yu took a step forward. His murderous glare shot towards the man sitting at the end of the hall. "I will not give my daughter to your son."

"The decision is not for you to make." He turned to Mengmeng. "What can you say about this, little miss?"

Since Mengmeng was young, he was trying to trick her innocent mind into it. It was an easy thing to trick a naive child like her.

Mengmeng looked at Han Xukun and frowned. "Except for daddy and Qinqing and teacher Qiang Wei, other boys are a headache!"

Han Qinshan raised a brow in amusement. "Oh? Are they now?"

Mengmeng nodded a few times and continued, "even if he's a prince, I don't want him. He has a bad attitude! No respect! I will only marry teacher Qiang Wei!"

Qiang Wei (Sloth): "..."

Lu Xian Yu turned to Qiang Wei with a murderous look on his face. "I didn't know that you were busy seducing my daughter, Qiang Wei."

Qiang Wei gulped nervously. He adjusted his glasses and tried to speak in his defense, "t-there must be a misunderstanding…"

Han Qinshan's gaze landed on Qiang Wei. "Oho? You're 'teacher Qiang Wei'? Aren't you one of the famous Twelve Stars? If I am correct, you must be Jade Star, right?"

"Y-yes… that's me."

Qiang Wei looked like he wanted to dig a hole and hide. He didn't sign up for this at all. He didn't have an enmity with the young miss so why was she so cruel to do something like this?

"I will deal with you later," said Lu Xian Yu, coldly.

"Teacher Qiang Wei is smart and quiet." Mengmeng continued, crossing her arms. "Mengmeng likes smart and quiet people!"

"My son is smart and quiet as well, he's even better looking than that man. That man is too old for you, little miss. Besides, don't you want to be a princess?"

"Mengmeng likes old men so it's fine!"

Both her father and everyone looked at her in disbelief. Soon, they turned their gaze to the man she was pertaining to, Qiang Wei.

"I-I'm not a pedophile!" 

The little girl blinked a few times, tilting her head to the side in confusion as she asked, "what's a pedophile?"

Before anyone could even answer her, her teacher quickly replied, "it means that I'm not interested in young girls like you!"

Instead of being hurt, a wide grin spread on her lips, and retorted, "that's fine! Mengmeng is still growing! Mengmeng will become grown-up too!"

Everyone: "..."

They never expect her to answer that way. It was… strange. Lu Xian Yu's daughter is weird. Strange… and crazy.

The child turned her gaze back at Han Qinshan and said, thankfully changing the topic and stealing their attention once again, "if the prince can change and have good manners, then it's fine."

"Mengjie." Lu Xian Yu turned to his daughter with a serious look on his face.

"Daddy, it's okay, don't worry."

"See? That wasn't hard. Mr. Lu, I will spare your daughter and your family." Han Qinshan turned to a servant and ordered, "give them the card and announce it to everyone."

Han Xukun was quietly staring at Mengmeng, thinking that she was smart to find a way around the matter. He was sharp enough to understand that she didn't give his father a definite answer. If in the future she decided that he didn't change, she could just reject him. He knew that his father was smart but why did he agree to it? Did he have a plan on deceiving her in the future?

Just like him, Han Qinshan knew this too but he didn't persist on the matter, especially when he was already receiving warning glares from his old friend, Lu Xian Yu. This was not their plan at all but he still couldn't help but enjoy how riled up his friend was when it came to his daughter.

"She can now leave," Han Qinshan ordered.

Lu Xian Yu was hesitant to leave just like that, without doing a thing. Even if he was his sworn brother, he badly wanted to punch him and break the agreement he made to his daughter. How dare he take advantage of her! Even if he badly wanted to beat him right there and then, Lu Xian Yu didn't want Mengmeng to see a bloody scene.

"I didn't say that you can leave, Mr. Lu."

Lu Xian Yu understood his words. He turned to his men. "Bring her back."

"But boss…" Was he planning on fighting the wolf king alone?

"Daddy is not coming?" Mengmeng asked innocently.

"I still have something to take care of with the king." He let out a soft smile. "You should go ahead of me, your mother is really worried you know."

"Mengmeng can wait."

"No, you have to go ahead, Mengmeng." He patted her head before he turned to Yun Che, known in the future as 'Pride'. "Make sure that they are well-protected."

"We will not leave you, boss." How could they leave him knowing that he was surrounded by enemies?!

"This is an order."

Pride's lips were stretched into a thin line. He didn't want to leave his boss alone. 

Han Qinshan sighed, they were taking so long. "Serpent, why don't you escort them out?"

"Yes, sir."

"See you later daddy." Mengmeng waved at him.

"Mm."

Lu Xian Yu watched his daughter and his men go out of the room. When the door was shut, he turned to Han Qinshan. "How do you plan on killing me?"

Han Xukun stayed still beside his father. At such a young age, he has already witnessed people being killed in front of him. People outside the Azure Republic had a different look in their eyes, that was why he was able to distinguish them from the people that were living inside.

Now, they have to fake Lu Xian Yu's death. Han Qinshan stood up. "It's been a while since I last fought someone. I've been hearing rumors that your fighting ability is as good as mine. I'll give you 10 minutes. If you're still able to stand by the end of it, I'll reward you with a quick death."

Lu Xian Yu snickered, "And if I will be able to kill you first?"

"The throne is yours."

"I am not stupid, Han Qinshan." Lu Xian Yu scanned the men around the room. Aside from the four captains, there were four more people loyal to Han Qinshan. If he were to kill him, the men in the room would surely attack him.

Han Qinshan chuckled. "I know you're not so why bother asking?"

(End of flashback)

…

"Yong Liwei, take care of my daughter." It was a genuine request. One that Lu Xian Yu didn't ask for a long time. 

The other man stared at him and saw the seriousness in his eyes. "She's my wife. That's a given." But it was not an answer. Yong Liwei only told what Lu Xian Yu wanted to hear.

"Make sure that she eats three times a day," the father continued.

This time Yong Liwei couldn't help but raise a brow.

"Make sure that she sleeps on time. If she brought another man into your place, please be forgiving."

"..."

"Control your temper when it comes to her. Have more patience with her wildness. Have more tolerance."

"..." Just what the hell was he saying? Have he gone mad?

Lu Xian Yu sighed and continued, looking more like he felt sorry for the other man. "There may be times where she can be a headache but please be understanding. If your temper is tested, I know a good psychiatrist for the therapy. He can give you a discount for each session."

"..." This man...

"If you ever found out about where she is keeping her other men, do tell me, okay? I will deal with them for you."

"..."

Another long sigh escaped his lips. "My daughter can be really strange. Crazy most of the time."
