Chapter 73 The leader of the Di family

Before those people could rush up, Qing'er froze them all in place.

The head of the Di family's pupils shrank. Was this a human ability? He took a step back in fear. "Are you human or ghosts?"

Qing'er was displeased with his words, and put her hands on her hips. "Hmph, what nonsense! Don't you have any taste? What nonsense is as beautiful as this princess?"

Princess? When did the royal family have such a princess? The head of the Di family frantically racked his brains. "Um... Princess, we have no grudge against each other, can you spare my life?" Who cares where this princess came from, my life is more important now.

Qing'er then realized she had let something slip. She glanced at Li Lianhua guiltily; she didn't seem to have told Li Lianhua about her identity... right? But she quickly became assertive: it was Li Lianhua who didn't ask, not that she wanted to hide it from him.

"So many people have no grudge against you, why won't you let them go?" Qing'er said in a slightly cold tone.

Li Lianhua noticed her subtle expressions, from her initial guilty look to her subsequent self-righteousness. A smile flickered in his eyes; she was truly adorable.

Although he was momentarily shocked upon hearing the word "princess," he quickly regained his composure. He hadn't yet expressed his feelings, so he had no right to demand that Qing'er tell him everything. Even after they were officially a couple, he would respect Qing'er's wishes. When Qing'er wanted to speak, she would naturally tell him, and he could wait.

Li Lianhua took out the Karmic Fire Mother Worm, and a faint chirping sound was heard. The worms inside the human bodies began to crawl out of their ears.

Qing'er waved her hand, and the insects vanished instantly. The head of the Di family stared at this scene in disbelief. "It's over!" he thought, collapsing to the ground.

Those people were overjoyed by their sudden freedom. After they came to their senses, they rushed up and dismembered the head of the Di family.

Then they all knelt down in front of Qing'er and the others, cupped their hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, our two benefactors."

"Get up. You can take half of the wealth inside and divide it among yourselves. Give the rest to the poor people," Qing'er said calmly. She dared to say this because she wasn't afraid that these people would take it all. She only needed a thought to know where all the money went.

Those people exchanged glances and said, "Please accept us as your benefactors." They had just witnessed Qing'er's power, and they believed that if they followed such a powerful master, they would surely have a bright future.

Qing'er looked at Li Lianhua with some difficulty, unsure how to respond. Li Lianhua smiled slightly and spoke first: "We appreciate everyone's kindness, but we two are used to being free, and we're afraid we can't take you with us."

Upon hearing this, the people looked disappointed, but they didn't press the matter. Following Qing'er's advice, they took half the money and gave the rest to the common people. They didn't dare to pocket the rest, having witnessed Qing'er's methods. They had finally gained their freedom and didn't want to die so soon.

After everyone left, only Qing'er remained and asked, "Li Lianhua, where else do you want to go?"

Li Lianhua said softly, "Let's find a place to rest first, and go find Di Feisheng tomorrow to help him get rid of the Gu worms." Although they went to several places, with Qing'er as their cheat code, only one day had passed.

Qing'er teased, "Aren't you two mortal enemies? Why would you want to help him?"

Li Lianhua smiled and said, "Di Feisheng isn't a bad person, he's just stubborn and all he thinks about is fighting."

"It seems you quite admire him?"

"Him! It's quite admirable that he's gotten to where he is today with that kind of background." Li Lianhua thought to herself, "It would be even better if he didn't keep chasing after me to fight."
