Upon hearing this, Shi Lang took a serious look at Su Jinxia. She had already changed her style and was no longer the innocent and cute little girl she had been. Instead, she was like a willful, unruly, and arrogant queen!

Yes, she is a queen; she has the aura of a queen!

Looking at Chen Zhen's corpse on the ground, Shi Lang vaguely understood something.

He quieted down, stared at Su Jinxia, ​​and said, "Has the young lady decided what to do next?"

Su Jin spread her slender hands and said, "Have you thought it through? It all depends on whether you're willing to do as I say. If you are, you'll be the king here; if you're not..."

Su Jin's gaze fell indifferently on Chen Zhen, "His fate is yours!"

Shi Lang shuddered, feeling a chill run through his body, even more terrified than when he faced Chen Zhen and his men.

Shi Lang quickly clasped his hands in greeting, bowed deeply, and said, "I will follow your lead, Miss."

They knelt down so quickly!

Su Jin nodded in satisfaction, beckoned Shi Lang closer, and whispered to him what needed to be done next.

Chen Zhen has always enjoyed treating everyone to drinks and conversation, and tonight was no exception.

In the banquet hall, the singing and dancing resumed. Su Jinxia and Chen Zhen sat on the dragon-head chairs in the room, watching the beauties dance.

Those under Chen Zhen who held some power, those in charge of affairs, and his confidants were all invited to the banquet.

People arrived one after another, wondering why the banquet was set up outside, with only Chen Zhen inside.

When they looked closely, oh my, it turned out to be a beauty by their side.

Su Jinxia was wearing a veil, and the two lay side by side on their backs, covered with a thin blanket, creating a rather ambiguous atmosphere.

Who dares to come near and ruin the king's good deed?

Someone below spoke to Chen Zhen, and Su Jin said sweetly, "He's asleep."

Upon hearing the beautiful woman's shy and timid voice, the crowd burst into laughter and fell silent. A few, however, couldn't resist their urge and grabbed the girls serving drinks, gradually making the scene unsightly.

Su Jin's lower eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint. Such a decadent setting was probably the norm for them.

Shi Lang sat at the very front, being pushed and shoved by the people around him, who teased him.

Shi Lang forced a smile, but inside he was panicking.

Su Jinxia only told him to invite everyone to the banquet, without saying how to deal with them.

Su Jinxia glanced at Shi Lang indifferently. He nodded to Su Jinxia, ​​saying that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived and they had drunk enough.

Su Jinxia gently raised her hand and waved away the singing and dancing maids.

The music and dance stopped abruptly, and everyone looked over in surprise.

Su Jin spoke softly, her voice carrying a chill: "Ziqi, have you ever killed anyone?"

Yue Ziqi stepped out from behind the screen, his eyes filled with anger, and uttered cold words: "Killed."

"Then kill those who are holding the girl first, and sharpen my sword." Su Jin gave the order casually, as if he were just ordering the slaughter of two pigs.

"Oh, right, don't scare the girls."

"yes."

Yue Ziqi accepted the order, drew his longsword, and went outside.

The people outside saw the unfamiliar Yue Ziqi brandish his weapon and finally realized something was wrong. Someone angrily shouted, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The man who was speaking picked up his knife, intending to stand up and confront him, but found that his legs were weak and he could not stand up. Then his whole body became weak and he could only slump on the table.

The crowd was shocked and grabbed their weapons, but they all fell down.

"What happened?"

"The drink has been drugged!"

"Damn it, who did this?!"

Yue Ziqi looked at the panicked maids and shouted, "Get out of here!"

The maids scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.

Su Jinxia lifted the thin blanket, disgustedly pushed Chen Zhen's corpse aside, fell under the chair, stretched out her limbs, and occupied a large dragon-head chair all to herself, saying softly, "Let's do it."

Yue Ziqi's expression was cold and indifferent. With a swift movement of his blade, he reaped the heads of five people.

Blood splattered everywhere, terrifying everyone, and their master, Chen Zhen, was clearly dead.

Now, they are lambs to the slaughter.

"Spare me, great hero, spare me!"

"Whatever you want, hero, we'll give you. Just take it, and spare our lives."

Without saying a word, he begged for mercy first; no wonder he's a local thug.

They thought Yue Ziqi was the mastermind, but to their surprise, Yue Ziqi turned to Su Jin and said, "Young Master, it's done."

Only then did everyone realize that the person behind the scenes was the beautiful woman they had just teased.

Su Jin smoothed down her clothes; she had to admit, the clothes were really beautiful.

Then, she stretched out her foot and walked over gracefully.

In this situation, she was actually smiling, her beautiful eyes filled with laughter. But no one was in the mood to appreciate her at all. They felt as if the King of Hell himself had come to life, enjoying taking lives with a smile.

Su Jin stepped out the door, her smile vanishing abruptly, for the faces of these people were truly filthy, their postures truly ugly, sully her eyes.

Ignoring all the misunderstandings, some people continued to beg for mercy: "Heroine, spare our lives! Let us go, and we'll give you whatever you want."

But some had backbone and angrily cursed, "Where did this stinking old woman come from? Give me the antidote right now, or you won't leave here alive!"

Some people, still retaining their senses, spoke up, saying, "We have no grudge against the girl, why are you killing us?"

Su Jin rubbed her temples, her lips pressed tightly together beneath her veil. So noisy!

Yue Ziqi drew his longsword, which rang out with a resounding clang that pierced the heart and instilled fear.

"Shut up!" Yue Ziqi snapped.

The crowd fell silent instantly, having no doubt that Yue Ziqi might chop off their heads if he was unhappy.

Su Jin clasped her hands together and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I didn't intend to kill you all. Let me think about it."

Su Jin thought about it seriously for a moment, then held up five fingers. "Five it is."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only five? Didn't they just kill five already?

There were still twenty or thirty people present. Even if five more were killed, what difference would it make? As long as they didn't kill him, everything would be fine.

However, before Su Jin could finish speaking, she whispered, "Leaving five is about right!"

Everyone gasped. Five left?

The chances of surviving would be extremely slim!

“However, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately,” Su Jin added.

The fact that innocent people wouldn't be killed indiscriminately gave people a glimmer of hope.

Su Jin kept pausing between sentences, leaving everyone's hearts pounding and their spirits soaring.

Su Jin chuckled. This is really funny.

However, she was the only one who thought so. Everyone present, including Shi Lang, who was temporarily safe, and Yue Ziqi, found her terrifying, like a capricious ghost.

After Su Jin finished laughing, she continued, "I will start by killing the worst one, and stop when I reach the last five. Of course, you will have to tell me who the worst one is!"

The crowd remained silent. Who dared to speak up? To do so would only invite criticism, since everyone was in the same boat, and none of them were as clean as the others.

Besides, what if someone slanders me or talks nonsense?

Su Jinxia felt a bit tired of standing, so she asked Yue Ziqi to bring her the dragon-head chair. She sat leisurely in front of the door and said with some interest, "Let's begin. If no one identifies who is the worst, then we'll start killing the closest one."
