Chu Hanhui and the others felt a strong sense of unease. They wanted to speak, to beg for mercy, to cry for help, but their mouths were frozen shut and they couldn't open their mouths at all.

Some of them had awakened superpowers, but their superpowers were no different from those of Wen Mengxia and the others.

At this moment, Moody suddenly said, "These people are really unlucky. If it weren't for this wicked stepmother, they could continue to live carefree lives. Now, because of her, they're going to lose their lives. Tsk tsk, what a pity."

Wen Mengxia immediately understood what she meant and nodded: "Who says otherwise? I didn't originally intend to touch them, but they were willing to be used as pawns, so what could I do?"

Moody nodded emphatically: "There are now a lot of mutated insects on the ground. They like to gnaw on human bodies and corpses, and they especially like bodies with blood on them."

I've never seen these mutated insects before. It seems they suddenly appeared because of the increase in corpses. I heard that if these mutated insects target you, you'll be reduced to bones in less than ten minutes.

She pointed at Chu Hanhui and the others: "How long do you think these delicate people can withstand the mutated insects?"

The group of people pointed at by Moody were filled with terror. Then they looked at Chu Moqing's stepmother with eyes that seemed to be poisoned, as if they wanted to tear this venomous woman to pieces.

If it weren't for her encouragement and promises, they wouldn't be in this predicament; it's all because of her.

Wen Mengxia and Moody exchanged a glance. Moody loosened the vines a little, while Wen Mengxia unsealed their mouths.

Wen Mengxia said, "We'll know once we try. I haven't witnessed the power of these mutated insects yet. Hmm, let's use this lady as an experiment. She's got plenty of flesh and fat, so we can try her out first."

Moody looked at the plump, calculating-looking lady. "Good idea. Maybe she can last ten minutes."

"Waaaaah...No!"

The lady's eyes widened as soon as she finished speaking. She could talk?!

She quickly said, "Mrs. Chu, listen to me. We had no intention of harming you at all. It was all instigated by this shameless vixen. If you want to kill her, then kill her. Even if you cut her into a thousand pieces, we won't say a word."

The stepmother stared at the lady in shock, then roared, "Huang Mei, what did you say? I'm a shameless vixen? You want me to be torn to pieces?"

"You heartless bastard! You're my sister-in-law! If it weren't for me, would you be in this situation? Now that something's happened, you're trying to pin it on me?"

She hadn't expected to be able to speak up, but it suited her perfectly.

Huang Mei: "Pah! You're a vixen yourself. You've seduced so many men, and every single one of them was a married woman. Wasn't Xiao Hui's father seduced by you? If you hadn't drugged him, would you have Xiao Hui?"

You ruined Xiao Hui's family, then used her connections to get involved with the Chu family. Don't think I don't know, you're the one who killed Chu Shao's mother. When you were with the Chu family head, his mother was perfectly healthy.

"Shut up, you're talking nonsense."

The stepmother's face turned deathly pale. She forgot about the vines on her body and had only one thought in her mind: to cover the dead woman's mouth.

Ignoring her own wounds, she rushed over and slapped Huang Mei across the face.

The two women wrestled, but the stepmother, who had been pampered for so many years, was no match for Huang Mei. Before long, her face and body were covered in wounds.

Huang Mei rode on her stepmother's back, grabbing her hair and scratching her face, saying, "I've been fed up with your face for a long time. You used improper means to get to your position, and you think you're some kind of phoenix."

"Hmph, you shameless slut! If it weren't for all the work you've done for our family and the money you've given us, do you think we'd even give you a second glance?"
