I'm a villain, not a devil

"Tighten your core and embrace your spiritual power. You are now physically and mentally dry and must turn the power into your own."

Seeing Sean wake up, Bai Youming immediately shouted.

Upon hearing this, Sean immediately closed his eyes, even though he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It's useless. He had just been promoted to the deep red stage, and his whole body was full of strength. He hadn't even learned how to fully absorb his breath into his body.

If he hadn't used the Heart of Deception on himself when he woke up before, Bai Youming would have been able to spot the problem just by looking at his breath and physical strength.

Sean faked his death using the death potion he brought back from Rainbow Nest. It turned out that the sinister high priest did not deceive him.

Not to mention Crimson, even Bai Youming didn't notice anything unusual.

Of course, according to the actual situation, it would be a better choice for Sean to "die" for a while, but he has to face a realistic problem.

No more medicine...

The suspended death potion could not be preserved for too long, so Sean put it in a bottle and preserved it with the special cork given by the high priest.

The potion takes half an hour to take effect each time, and you have to drink it secretly each time.

Fortunately, Sherrill, the veto of the reinforcement system, can freely control his flesh and blood, and his hands are very thick - the medicine bottle is stuck in his arm...

Under Bai Youming's gaze, Sean seemed to be grasping at the last straw, but in fact he was silently purifying his strength with a ritual.

When it was over, Sean slowly opened his eyes.

Godfather, that's too much at once...

Originally it was just to increase credibility, but I didn't expect Bai Youming to directly get so much flesh and blood power.

"Huh..." He let out a long breath and looked at his whole body and hands with a strange expression.

Then Sean smiled and said, "Is this considered coming back to life?"

Bai Youming narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Cheryl: "Go out for a while."

After getting Sean's signal, Cheryl walked out of the basement.

Immediately, a powerful spiritual force like the sea rushed towards Sean.

"Noah, don't defend me."

Sean gave an instruction and used his mental strength to resist.

Of course, the so-called resistance was just a formality. He was like an ant in front of Bai Youming.

"Do you still remember your true identity?"

Sean suppressed his discomfort and replied, "Fifth Prince...but that was in the past."

The mental pressure quickly faded away.

Bai Youming finally smiled: "Not bad."

Sean rubbed his temple and smiled bitterly, "There's no need to be so cruel if you want to test me, right?"

Bai Youming said leisurely, "Although I don't know what your ritual for regaining the anchor point of consciousness is, it is probably one of the methods used by some sect. I won't ask too much about the source and specific effects, but I must confirm whether the person who has returned now is Sean, or the sub-consciousness of some evil god."

Sean stretched out his hand and shook it, then sighed, "I'm back... Tsk, I didn't expect to be tricked again."

"The man who killed you is called Snake King. He is currently being hunted down. He has many different methods and is considered very strong among the middle-level Crimsons. I originally thought that with Ake and the others, plus your thoughts, there shouldn't be any problems... Never mind, let's not talk about this."

Bai Youming patted Sean on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's a lesson. You haven't suffered any loss since you left Paradise City until now, right?"

Sean pursed his lips and said, "It's a big loss... If it weren't for my good luck, I would have really died this time."

Bai Youming nodded and said, "Fortunately, you advanced to Crimson before you died. If you were still at the peak of King level, even if Cheryl helped you to replace your blood and flesh, it would not be able to remove the poison."

Sean chuckled and looked around after a moment.

After hesitating for a while, he asked, "What did he...say?"

Bai Youming frowned slightly: "Give the order to punish..."

Sean interrupted him rudely: "You are asking for justice for me, right?"

Bai Youming didn't say anything.

Sean clenched his fists a little, and finally smiled with relief: "Alright, change blood and flesh, I am no longer the fifth prince... From now on, it is most appropriate for you to be my Sean. Royal blood is not necessary."

Bai Youming frowned and said, "Nonsense, how can the identity of the royal family be determined by bloodline?"

Sean said indifferently: "Without bloodline, I can't even enter the treasure house, right? There's nothing wrong with this, it saves me from thinking about some messy things occasionally."

Bai Youming glared at him with authority: "It's not your turn to draw conclusions."

Sean tutted, "A dead person cannot make a conclusion, but a living one naturally has the qualifications."

He looked at Bai Youming calmly: "From now on, I will do things my way."

Bai Youming looked at him and finally shook his head: "Forget it, do it yourself."

"You don't support me with all your strength?" Sean said with a smile.

Bai Youming chuckled: "I seek justice for the prince. But if it was for the prince, I would not stand up."

……

After Bai Youming left, Sean stretched lazily.

In this way, all the bad debts were wiped out and the competitors were hit at the same time.

Moreover, I have more choices to make...

In the mirror, Xiao Ci and Zhu Zhu jumped out.

"Brother, everything has been done." Xiao Ci said with his head raised.

After rubbing her orange-haired head vigorously, Sean said with satisfaction, "You're becoming more and more reliable."

Zhu Zhu held a lollipop in her mouth and said, "Xiao Ci's fire is really terrible. The snake king's proliferation was burned clean, and the body of the fifth prince was also disposed of."

Sean's mouth curled up slightly: "They still owe me a life..."

As he was speaking, Moza came back from outside.

"The snake king has been controlled. Do you want to pick a time to bring him out to meet guests?" Moza pushed his glasses.

Sean shook his head: "No, he has other uses..."

"Bai Ye has gone back. She knows about the existence of the Snake King. Maybe she can sense something?" Moza said.

"It doesn't matter whether she notices it or not. It will only benefit her. Besides, she is the future queen. I have to talk to her about it." Sean smiled, and then he seemed to remember something, "Oh, she doesn't know yet, right?"

……

"What did you say?" Bai Ye had just sat down and poured a cup of tea. After hearing the news reported by Bing Lan, he immediately stood up in disbelief.

"The news is true, Your Highness."

"How is this possible..." Bai Ye murmured.

Sean is dead? This is impossible... Third Brother was responsible for this and was sent to the Black Pigeon...

Moza came to me, which proves that Sean had anticipated the assassination... How could he die?

For some reason, an indescribable feeling surged into my chest, as if something was throbbing.

"I heard that it seemed that he didn't expect the plot... His Royal Highness was furious. Many important figures, including generals, directors, and bishops, were directly beheaded in the side hall of the palace, and..." Bing Lan paused. Obviously, she was also frightened by this. "His Royal Highness and His Majesty the Emperor had a big quarrel."

Bai Ye had no intention of listening to what Bing Lan said afterwards. There was only one thought left in her mind.

Sean is dead... How is it possible... How could such a sinister and cunning bastard die...

"Her Royal Highness? Your Royal Highness?"

Bai Ye came back to his senses with difficulty: "I... I'm fine..."

However, before she knew it, the armrest she was holding had turned into powder.

"Your Highness, next..."

Binglan reported countless things in a very eloquent manner, but Bai Ye just couldn't listen.

After a long time, she suddenly stood up: "Leave the palace, I want to see him."

"Your Highness? At this time..."

"Leave the palace."

……

The new residence of the newly-appointed Crown Prince should have been bustling with traffic in the past, but now, let alone people coming to visit, there are very few people around the neighborhood.

Firstly, a dead prince would have no value, and secondly, she was worried about the prince's anger.

Bai Ye got out of the car in a hurry and walked into the villa.

There was no one here, and no one knew where Moza, who had just returned, had gone.

Only the door to the basement entrance was open.

Bai Ye forced himself to calm down and walked in slowly.

Then, she saw Sean.

The other person just lay there alone on the altar, without making any sound.

With a stumble, Bai Ye pursed his lips and walked to the altar.

"You deserve it..." She gritted her teeth.

He seems to be really dead...

Bai Ye felt that he should be relieved now that this bastard who had always taken advantage of him, lied to him, and toyed with him was dead.

However, looking at the cold Sean lying there, an endless stream of sadness surged in my mind.

She clenched her fists tightly, lowered her head, not daring to look at the pale face, and cursed: "Why do you have to die now..."

Something cold splashed on the ground.

Then, a gentle hand covered her cheek.

Bai Ye looked up in astonishment, and saw Xiao En grinning at him: "Your Highness, you still said you don't like me?"

"You're not dead..."

Bai Ye's temple twitched violently.

Sean slowly wiped the tears from her eyes: "Are you so sad? Well, I'm back, are you surprised?"

"roll!"

When Bai Ye calmed down, she didn't know what happened, but she was embraced by Sean's arms.

Glancing at the cold altar with disdain, she broke free and said coldly, "As expected of my cousin, he can even fool the emperor's uncle."

Sean spread his hands: "If I didn't die, how could so many things happen?"

Bai Ye paused, then looked over in confusion.

Sean sighed and told the other person about his "resurrection".

Bai Ye originally wanted to scold him, but when he thought about the fact that he had actually died once, he couldn't bring himself to curse him.

However, Sean's next words immediately made her angry.

"I didn't expect that my cousin still felt sorry for me and even started crying."

Bai Ye sneered: "My trading partner who just reached a cooperation agreement died, can't I be sad for a moment?"

"Sure. That's great." Sean laughed.

Bai Ye tidied her clothes. Now that Sean was not dead, she felt much better unconsciously.

She returned to the topic and asked in confusion: "It is understandable that the Snake King plotted against you, but how do you know where the Snake King is hiding?"

Sean blinked mysteriously: "Didn't you figure this out?"

Bai Ye frowned and said, "It's because the information Moza brought was comprehensive enough and the area was small enough that I was able to find the location quickly, but the work ahead is the most difficult and tedious."

Sean did not hide it. He smiled and said, "Of course I rely on my brothers."

"Brothers? The bosses of those gangs."

Sean nodded and said leisurely, "The gangsters all over the city are natural spies. Moreover, after I subdued them, they started to detect all the abnormal places in the city for me."

"Something wrong?"

"Hmm," Sean snapped his fingers. "The biggest feature of Crimson is its proliferation. The pollution caused by proliferation is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and most of the Vetoes and the Bitter Ones can't resist. If you want to isolate the pollution, you must have enough space and powerful isolation materials."

"If they are hiding in the imperial capital, then the place where they multiply and store their energy is most likely a specially built basement. What place do the gangsters know best? Of course, it's the underground pipelines throughout the city."

Seeing that Bai Ye seemed to understand, Sean explained with a smile: "The design of the city's sewers follows certain rules, so as long as there are enough spies and accurate maps of the sewers, many approximate locations can be identified."

Bai Ye nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "But the range is still very large, right?"

Sean shrugged. "Of course, but I foresaw that someone would come back to assassinate me, so I would naturally have people keep a close eye on each location after leaving the city. The moment the proliferation was moved out, there would inevitably be pollution leakage, so wouldn't the scope be further reduced?"

"But the information Moza provided is very accurate. The range can't be narrowed down so much, right?"

Sean sneered, "Of course - don't forget, we always use snake-type and tiger-type to refer to the Mad Beast, not only because of its appearance, but also because of some of its characteristics. After knowing that the Snake King's proliferation prototype is a snake, the scope can be narrowed down again... How could there be no rats near the sewer? The empty part means that there are creatures nearby that the rats are afraid of."

"It's still not enough." Judging from his expression, Bai Ye already showed admiration, but she still started to dig deeper.

Sean could only shrug his shoulders and say, "The one who killed me was the Third Prince, right?"

"You knew already?"

"No, I don't know, but I do know that the person who will be accused will definitely be him."

Bai Ye frowned slightly: "Why?"

"Because, that old nanny is the Fourth Prince's man." Sean said calmly, "So, the place where the Snake King lives must be related to the Golden Dawn or the forces under the Fourth Prince. Even, that place is the secret territory of the Golden Dawn or something - if I'm not mistaken, this is written in the information Moza gave you, right?"

Bai Ye was completely speechless this time. She asked in disbelief, "How did you figure out so much information?"

Sean smiled and said, "Brain."

Of course, there is the simplest point.

Concubine Lan took a huge risk to steal things on the fourth floor, on the premise that the Fourth Prince hoped to be compensated - does Concubine Lan have such courage and determination?

The Fourth Prince is connected to the Golden Dawn, so some rituals can achieve this effect, because Elisa Lam is very weak.

But the old nanny is Crimson, how could she not notice it and even suggest to silence Sean?

I'm afraid that even if Sean is really dead, this matter will eventually be blamed on the third prince.

For Sean, everything goes smoothly. He is the biggest victim, and of course, he can also become the biggest beneficiary.
