Chapter 553 Dying?

At that moment, the air inside the carriage seemed to grow heavy, causing the Earth Dragon pulling the carriage to slow its pace.

Fang Li and Priscilla stared at each other in the carriage— one with a calm expression and the other with a pleased smile, as if anticipating Fang Li's reaction. She even began to gently sway her crossed leg.

Unfortunately for Priscilla, she was ultimately disappointed.

Fang Li did not react as Priscilla had hoped; he neither appeared surprised, nor angry nor showed any emotion. Instead, he simply nodded slightly and said, "Even if you don't say, I can make an educated guess."

This statement wiped the smile off Priscilla's face.

What remained was a single emotion.

"How unpleasant."

Why did she feel so unpleasant?

Because things hadn't gone the way Priscilla had hoped.

This brought to mind something Fang Li had said before.

"Just because the world revolves around you doesn't mean men will revolve around you."

Evidently, Fang Li was that man.

What Priscilla did not anticipate was why Fang Li would come here to verify his suspicions if he had already guessed who had told her the information.

The reason, of course, was that Fang Li still had doubts and couldn't be certain.

So, Fang Li had only a rough idea of who the source was.

"Since I've accomplished what I came for, I'll take my leave." Fang Li spoke calmly to Priscilla. "I hope we don't see each other again."

With that, Fang Li began to rise from his seat.

However, just as Fang Li stood, Priscilla also stood and she pressed her closed fan against Fang Li's chest, pushing him back into his original position.

What happened next was a surprise, even for Fang Li.

Priscilla suddenly straddled Fang Li, sitting on his lap and leaning intimately against him.

"——"

A pleasant fragrance filled Fang Li's nose as the softness of Priscilla's touch pressed against Fang Li's skin. Her plump chest was also pressed firmly against Fang Li's body, bringing an unexpectedly pleasurable sensation.

"Ooh!"

Al, who had been lying on the ground, called out from inside his helmet, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

As for Fang Li, he couldn't help but furrow his brow. Because Priscilla spoke up. "Did I allow you to leave?"

The fan pressed against Fang Li's chest was moved to his chin, lifting his face.

Just as Fang Li had done to Priscilla in the alley, Priscilla seemed to be seeking retribution by straddling Fang Li and positioning herself as the one in control.

Perhaps in Priscilla's mind, this action was her way of asserting dominance over Fang Li and looking down on him from her elevated position.

However, due to the difference in height, instead of towering over Fang Li, Priscilla seemed more like she was snuggling in his arms, but her smile remained haughty.

"The world revolves around me," She repeated.

Fang Li had already heard this phrase numerous times.

No, upon reflection, he realized he hadn't heard it that many times, but Priscilla continually reiterated her belief in this, making it seem like a tag she wore, giving the impression she constantly repeated it.

Shortly afterward, Priscilla spoke again. "Since the world revolves around me, you absolutely will not leave," Priscilla stated confidently. "Because that's what I want."

Upon hearing Priscilla's words, Fang Li lowered his head and looked at the arrogant young woman nestled in his arms. He made no move to resist, contradict, or leave; he only stared at Priscilla.

This behavior brought back the smile on Priscilla's face.

"You didn't react with the typical male pride or ego; that deserves some commendation."

Indeed, most people would probably leave out of spite after hearing such haughty statements from Priscilla.

However, Fang Li remained unfazed by Priscilla's words, showing he was unaffected.

"Compared to my seven previous husbands, you seem to possess a higher quality," Priscilla said, complimenting Fang Li. "Among the men I've encountered, you are the one who has intrigued me the most."

With this introduction, Priscilla leaned closer to Fang Li, her captivating eyes forming crescent shapes.

"I've taken a liking to you."

"I want you to become my husband."

The tense atmosphere in the carriage suddenly shifted, becoming surprisingly intimate.

Meanwhile, Al was left speechless.

Fang Li, too, was taken aback.

"What?"

Even Fang Li didn't expect Priscilla to make such a declaration.

All because she was interested in Fang Li.

Simply because of her whim.

In other words, this decision was likely spontaneous, without any prior deliberation.

Fang Li finally grasped the situation.

"Unfortunately." Fang Li stated flatly. "I already have someone I care for."

After speaking, Fang Li gently pushed Priscilla away.

The soft and full sensation of her presence left Fang Li. However, at that same moment, an intense wave of pressure filled the entire carriage.

It emanated from Priscilla's body, which had been pushed away.

"Refused?" Priscilla raised her eyes, looking at Fang Li.

Her gaze was ice-cold.

"How dare you reject me?"

The overwhelming pressure began to fill the space.

Priscilla, it seemed, was hiding extraordinary power.

"Wait! Princess!"

Al quickly intervened.

But Priscilla silenced him with a single line.

"Be quiet!" Priscilla said coldly. "No one in this world can reject me; if someone does, it's an offense, and if it's an offense, they must be killed!" She spoke with such righteous indignation.

Yet Fang Li simply laughed.

"Always talking about the world; I'm growing tired of it."

Remaining seated, Fang Li continued to look straight at Priscilla, his lips curling into a faint smile.

"Did your world ever tell you..."

"...who will end up dead if you try to fight me?"

This time, Priscilla's eyes flickered, and she fell silent.

After a moment, her oppressive presence abruptly vanished.

"How boring." Priscilla threw out these words and then sat down.

With that, the Dragon Carriage slowly approached a towering castle.

It was Royal Castle.

This signified that—

Fang Li was now trapped.
