"Tear him to pieces! I'll see if your little life is good enough to suffer!"

A cold smile played on Sheng Lingwei's lips as her sharp, bloodthirsty eyes stared directly at the man who had spoken.

The man couldn't help but shiver.

He was terrified by the terrifying aura emanating from Sheng Lingwei, but when he thought of himself as the heir of the Prince of Wu'an, the famous Sheng Haochang, how could he tolerate a woman being so presumptuous in front of him?

Thinking of this, Sheng Hao arrogantly raised his head and stared directly at Sheng Lingwei, demanding sharply, "How dare you! Who are you? State your name immediately!"

Sheng Lingwei sneered, "I am Sheng Lingwei, and I will never change my name or surname!"

"Sheng... Sheng Lingwei?" Sheng Haochang's expression changed drastically, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "You...you...you're Sheng Lingwei?"

That infamous, lawless, arrogant, bloodthirsty, and ruthless demon, Sheng Lingwei?

Isn't she on her way to Yucheng County?

Why did you suddenly come to Xianyang County to meddle in other people's business?

What should I do?

If it were anyone else, he certainly wouldn't be so worried. With his father's absolute power, these people would soon pay the price.

But the key person who came was Sheng Lingwei.

They had already investigated her. Not only could she control heavenly lightning, but she also possessed some kind of divine power. She was arrogant, unyielding, and looked down on everyone.

He could even kill his own father, let alone those of them who were not related by blood.

Sheng Lingwei raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Who I am is not important. What is important is that your Wu'an Prince's Mansion is about to face a great calamity."

"No, no!"

Sheng Haochang panicked instantly, his face turned deathly pale, and he stammered, "Sheng Lingwei, no, no, Lingwei, I am your cousin. For the sake of our kinship, you cannot attack the Wu'an Prince's Mansion."

"Who do you think you are? You have no right to address me by my name. Please address me as Princess Chang Le."

Sheng Lingwei looked at Sheng Haochang with utter contempt, as if she were looking at a clown.

"Oh, by the way, I don't have any Tom, Dick, or Harry relatives, so stop trying to play the emotional card."

Furthermore, I'll tell you a fact: Sheng Wei has no blood relation to me whatsoever, and none of you members of the Sheng royal family have any connection to me whatsoever.”

No blood relation?

Sheng Hao was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He was filled with fear and anxiety, sweating profusely, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

Oh my god!

Sheng Lingwei is truly bizarre that she can talk about such private matters. She has absolutely no worries and is not afraid of others talking about her identity.

what to do?

He originally intended to plead for her based on blood ties, but Sheng Lingwei was unyielding to both soft and hard approaches, and now she had revealed her true identity in front of everyone.

She's really fierce, she's not afraid of anything!

Sheng Hao's mind raced, and he quickly said, "Princess Sheng... Princess Chang Le, now that you've discovered this iron mine, I have nothing to hide."

How about this?

"As long as you don't attack the Prince of Wu'an's mansion, we can give you this iron mine, along with countless gold and silver treasures. What do you say?"

"That's a good idea!"

"Right! I think it's pretty good too!" Sheng Hao was overjoyed. He knew it; no one could resist the temptation of money.

Sheng Lingwei, that young upstart, is nothing special!

With a quick glance around his eyes, he hurriedly continued, "Princess Chang Le, why don't you cooperate with our Wu An Prince's Mansion? We don't need you to do anything, as long as you stand firmly on our side."

"At that time, we'll provide you with mountains of gold and silver, fine clothes and sumptuous food, talented men and handsome men, power and status—you name it."

Sheng Lingwei sneered sarcastically, "Heh, you have quite the big mouth. It's just a pity that I have no desires and lack nothing."

"I don't believe it!"

Sheng Haochang was agitated. He stared straight at Sheng Lingwei and said loudly, "I don't believe you are without desires. Even if you don't lack gold and silver, don't you want to live forever?"

Immortality?

Sheng Lingwei's eyes darkened, and she instantly recalled what Yue Mingxi had said back then.

He said that because Yue Futing was old, he thought about the unrealistic goal of immortality, so he sent people to various countries to capture young children.

They specifically eat their hearts and livers and drink their blood; it's utterly inhuman and worse than animals.

Seeing that Sheng Lingwei remained silent, Sheng Haochang assumed she was interested in the matter of immortality, and his eyes lit up as he quickly said:

“Princess Chang Le, I know a way to achieve immortality. If you promise me what I just said, I will tell you the method.”

Sheng Lingwei narrowed her eyes, her gaze brewing the prelude to a storm.

"Oh? And how do you know the way to immortality?"

"Of course..."

Sheng Hao quickly shut his mouth; he almost let it slip. If the Yuezhi people found out, they would definitely be in big trouble.

In his mind, compared to Sheng Lingwei, the Yuezhi people were even more terrifying and bloodthirsty; they were truly ruthless killers.

Even a ruthless man like his father wouldn't dare to offend the Yuezhi easily, let alone his son who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.

Ugh, just thinking about it gives me the creeps!

Sheng Lingwei curled her lips slightly, her expression indifferent, and in an instant appeared in front of Sheng Haochang, grabbing his neck from a distance and lifting him into the air.

"Tell me, what exactly did the Yuezhi make your Wu'an Prince's Mansion do for them?"

"Cough cough!" Sheng Haochang's face turned red and his neck bulged from being pinched, his eyes rolling back repeatedly. "I... I can't say."

"Then you should just die!"

As the force increased, Sheng Hao's heart raced, he had difficulty breathing, and he almost met his maker.

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Sheng Lingwei released her grip, and Sheng Haochang crashed heavily to the ground from mid-air, letting out a shrill scream.

"I'm losing my patience. If you keep howling..."

"Ahhhhh, no, no, no! I'll tell you right away, please don't kill me!"

Sheng Hao's arrogance terrified him.

He wanted to take back what he had said earlier. At this moment, he felt that Sheng Lingwei was even more terrifying than the people of Dayuezhi, especially her unfathomable skill.

Sobbing, several of his bones were broken, but for the sake of his life, he had no choice but to tell the whole story about the Yuezhi.

He simply couldn't afford to gamble!

“Hiss~~ Princess Chang Le, this is what happened. A year ago, the chieftain of the Yuezhi asked us to send them thirty children every month, and they would help my father ascend the throne.”

"So, for the past year, you've been dutifully sending them thirty children every month?"

Sheng Haochang nodded in agreement, “Yes, my father later figured out the trick and bribed the people of the Yuezhi. Only then did he learn that the Yuezhi chieftain ate the hearts and livers of children and drank their blood in order to achieve immortality and improve his power.”

Sheng Lingwei's anger surged wildly, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and her tone was chillingly cold.

"So, your Wu'an Prince's Mansion, in order to achieve immortality, also eats hearts and livers and drinks human blood."
