I Can Control Resources

...

Wu Dingxiang was a scheming vixen.

She revered intelligence; in fact, she had relied on her wits to survive ever since she was born.

But this time, she suddenly felt like her brain wasn’t quite up to the task, because the Fourth Prince seemed to be in a real hurry.

’Is he for real?’

’Would the great Fourth Prince of the Blood Race actually be lacking for women?’

Wu Dingxiang felt the chances of that were incredibly low, yet the fact remained: the Fourth Prince was pinning her down forcefully.

"N-no... don’t do this, Fourth Prince. You are a noble prince of the Blood Race, and I am a noble princess of the Elf Race. You can’t treat me like this..." Wu Dingxiang began to struggle a little harder, because she knew the effects of her ’Drifting Shadow Fragrance’ were taking hold.

They were too close!

At this distance, and with the Fourth Prince’s impulsiveness... consummating the act was only a matter of time.

Wu Dingxiang was screaming on the inside.

’I finally did it!’

’After losing face at the last marriage selection, I, Wu Dingxiang, have finally relied on my own abilities to successfully become the Fourth Prince of the Blood Race’s Princess Consort!’

’And in the future, I might even become the Queen of the Blood Race.’

’This is amazing!’

Wu Dingxiang hadn’t expected it to be this easy.

The Fourth Prince of the Blood Race was completely powerless against her beauty. He had come to her bed on the very first night, and to spice things up, he had even raised a small iron hammer!

’Wait a minute.’

’Why is the Fourth Prince holding a small iron hammer?!’

’Shouldn’t it be a small whip?’

"No, Fourth Prince, you..."

THUD!

A dull thud.

Gao Neng gave the scheming vixen no further chance to speak. He raised the small iron hammer in his right hand and brought it down directly on her forehead.

The sound was heavy and dull.

The effect was immediate.

Because Wu Dingxiang immediately began to twitch, the whites of her eyes showing.

"Damn, she actually doused herself in Enchanting Fragrance?" Gao Neng had, of course, smelled the peculiar perfume on Wu Dingxiang.

However, he possessed the Four Symbols Attributes, so things that were meant to cloud the mind had basically no effect on him.

’Done!’

’Time to play... the clothes-snatcher!’

Mission: Once, Twice, and a Third Time (Variant), successfully completed!

"Silly System, give me the hint for the epic hidden mission," Gao Neng shouted in his mind.

"No," a mechanical voice replied.

’No? What... kind of trick is this? Can the Silly System really be this sassy?’ Gao Neng was stunned for a moment.

’This makes no sense!’

He subconsciously opened the mission system.

The mission "Once, Twice, and a Third Time (Variant)" was still there. The description above it was normal; it hadn’t disappeared.

But that was precisely what was abnormal.

Because after a mission was completed, the text in the mission system was supposed to disappear.

"What’s going on? Didn’t I already take Wu Dingxiang down? She’s still lying there with her eyes rolled back!" Gao Neng was genuinely shocked this time.

’The mission target is Wu Dingxiang, there’s no mistake about that, right?’

’Could it be there was a problem with *how* I took her down?’

’Wait a minute!’

’I think there *is* a bit of a problem!’

First of all, in Wu Dingxiang’s mind, she already saw me as the Fourth Prince, Xue Ruyu. Therefore, she never put up any real resistance during the entire process.

So, that brings up the question...

’If there’s no resistance, can you still call it ’taking them down’?’

’Maybe you can!’

’Maybe you can’t!’

In any case, the Silly System hadn’t marked the mission as complete for him.

"Alright, you’re ruthless, Silly System. I’ll do it over again, how about that?" Gao Neng was not one to sweat the small stuff.

He was generous, handsome, sunny, and warm.

The Silly System might be sassy, but he still decided to forgive her.

SPLASH!

A basin of cold water was splashed on Wu Dingxiang’s face.

A lump on her forehead, the unconscious Wu Dingxiang slowly came to.

The first thing she did was look at Gao Neng, who stood before her.

’It’s the Fourth Prince, alright.’

’I’ve confirmed it with a look...’

’He’s a rough man.’

"Fourth Prince, n-no... no more hammer, please. Y-you... you could consider using a whip..." Wu Dingxiang said with some difficulty, biting her lip.

"..." Gao Neng was speechless.

’So, it’s true that you can really do whatever you want when you have a noble status.’

’I already showed her the hammer.’

’And yet Wu Dingxiang still hasn’t ’woken up.’ She’s still thinking about whips...’

"Fourth Prince? Fourth Prince, you mustn’t think Ding Xiang is that kind of woman. I was just... I was..." Seeing Gao Neng remain silent, Wu Dingxiang’s eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She put on a pitiful, tear-streaked, and heart-wrenching display.

One had to admit, Wu Dingxiang’s acting was passable.

At least when it came to crying scenes, she was a master!

This feeling of aggrieved innocence, like a spring rain after shouting ’whip,’ could indeed arouse certain special... proclivities.

But unfortunately...

She had met Gao Neng.

Just like Sun Wukong in *Journey to the West*, after he immobilized the Seven Fairy Maidens, the only thing on his mind was peaches.

Gao Neng was the same.

The only thing on his mind right now was the mission.

"You really haven’t figured out who I am?" Gao Neng finally spoke.

"Of course I have... Wait, you’re not the Fourth Prince?" Wu Dingxiang was startled, and a flash of terror suddenly crossed her eyes.

"Of course I’m not!" Gao Neng touched his forehead.

The two horns...

...were still there!

"Then... then which Prince are you?!" Wu Dingxiang looked closely at Gao Neng, the terrified expression on her face intensifying.

"Which Prince?" Gao Neng froze for a second, then laughed.

That’s right. No matter how intelligent Wu Dingxiang was, she could never have imagined that the "Fourth Prince" before her was actually a transformed human.
