Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...

Chapter 187 Punishment

When Old Xu heard the sound, he looked closely and saw the magistrate's head roll a few times on the ground and land right in front of his shoes.

The county magistrate's unseeing eyes met his gaze.

"Murder! Murder! A demon is killing people!"

Old Xu shouted out subconsciously, and those words became his last words in this world.

Because Xu Jinhuan's blood-stained longsword had already reached him.

Clang!

Old Xu's head also fell to the ground, where it bumped intimately with his superior's head.

Upon hearing the noise, the guards outside rushed in, but when they saw the scene inside, they froze in place.

Is that shadowy figure opposite me, whose face I can't make out at all, a person?

Xu Jinhuan turned to look at the guards and said calmly.

"Don't be afraid, I will only kill those who deserve to die. Consider all of you as witnesses for me today. Li Daguang, the magistrate of Nanheng County, and his advisor Xu Sanwei colluded to abduct hundreds of respectable women from the county, causing their tragic deaths."

And I was one of those hundreds. I returned to seek revenge, and now they have been executed on the spot. You only need to report this truthfully to your superiors.”

After saying that, Xu Jinhuan immediately concealed himself in front of the guards and disappeared from their sight in an instant.

"N-it's gone?"

"Are we really seeing a ghost?"

"So this is what ghosts look like..."

The guards took a while to process what they had just witnessed, and then, looking at the two corpses before them, they fell into deep thought.

"Are we really going to do what this female ghost says?"

"How else can we put it? I think this is a good way to put it."

"I also think that if we make up a non-existent killer, we'll have to go all over the streets to catch people, which is exhausting."

And so, in front of the magistrate's body, the guards who had been loyal to him before discussed and determined the cause of his death.

Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan had already followed his spiritual power and arrived at the courtyard where the young man was resting.

Her ears twitched as she heard some unpleasant sounds, but the sounds quickly stopped, leaving only the woman's sobbing.

"Cry, what are you crying for? Your skin isn't fair enough, and your figure isn't well-proportioned enough. If it weren't for this small place, do you think I would even look at you?"

"You should feel honored to serve me for one night," the young man said arrogantly.

Xu Jinhuan rolled her eyes in disgust after hearing this. Sure enough, there was no more annoying than the most annoying. Lei Tingjun was really carefree, picking up just anyone and not caring about bad luck.

Xu Jinhuan used his shapeshifting ability to transform back into a liquid state and slowly flowed into the room.

After regaining her human form, she walked to the bedside and gently knocked the woman unconscious. Then she took out a long knife and held it to the young man's neck.

When the young man saw the woman on the bed fall down, he thought she had fainted from the pain. But when he saw the long knife at his neck, he immediately realized that there were other people in the room!

His reaction was extremely fast. Although he couldn't see anyone, he attacked in the direction of the long sword.

But Xu Jinhuan wasn't so foolish as to actually reveal a flaw.

"ah!"

The young man cried out in pain, and when he pulled his hands back, he saw that both of his hands had been pierced by sharp objects.

This is the stealth armor that Xu Jinhuan specially made. It has sharp weapons on every part of her body, both in front and behind. Anyone who wants to attack her will have to experience the power of these weapons first.

Just like the five-colored cloud robe that Zixia Zhenren gave to Jin Sheng Niangniang in the childhood story "Journey to the West", no one else is allowed to get close to her.

At this moment, the young man, seeing that he could not deal with the strange things in the house, subconsciously tried to run out, but Xu Jinhuan grabbed his collar.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

Xu Jinhuan first dislocated his jaw, then used something to pry out the poison he had hidden in his mouth. Afterwards, she took out a rope from her spatial storage and tied him to a chair in the room.

"You like to torture people, don't you? Well, I'll torture you too."

After saying that, Xu Jinhuan picked up the whip that the young man had thrown on the bed and slowly walked to his side.

"Are you... are you a human or a ghost?" The young man's words were very unclear because his jaw had been dislocated.

Xu Jinhuan skillfully used the recipe he had just used in the study to conjure up a somewhat ethereal figure.

She said in a sinister tone, "Me? Of course I'm a ghost. Don't be afraid, you'll be just like me soon."

After saying that, he lashed the young man with a whip.

"Ah!" the young man screamed, partly to vent his pain and partly to alert the servants outside the door that he had encountered an accident.

However, the servants outside the door only smiled ambiguously upon hearing the sound, showing no intention of checking what was happening.

They had already received instructions from the county magistrate, knowing that this official would definitely cause some commotion that night, and that they should not pay attention to it, but make sure that the official had a good time.

Therefore, although she was a little puzzled as to why it was a man shouting this time, she did not ask. Perhaps this lord had come up with some new way to play.

If they disturb this gentleman's enjoyment, they'll probably get a beating again.

The young man inside had no idea about any of this. He looked expectantly toward the door, but no one came to open it and check.

However, he soon lost interest in thinking about these things, simply because Xu Jinhuan's methods were too ruthless.

The young man boasted that he had seen many torturous methods in the capital, but he never expected to be defeated in this small Nanheng County.

"Come on, write down your confession for me."

When the young man saw Xu Jinhuan throw down the whip, he thought she had finally tortured him enough, but unexpectedly she made him confess.

Seeing that he didn't move, Xu Jinhuan picked up the whip again. "If you don't write, I'll stay by your side every day, and every night I'll start torturing you..."

The young man felt hopeless whenever he thought of such a scene, and he asked blankly, "Write, I'll write!"

Before Xu Jinhuan could prompt him on what to write, he had already started writing quickly.

After he finished writing, Xu Jinhuan not only saw the confession about trafficking innocent women, but also other sordid things.

Xu Jinhuan's gaze paused suddenly on a spot on the paper: "Making pills?"

Could it be what she's thinking?

Lei Tingjun is too crazy...

Xu Jinhuan put the confession into his spatial storage; this thing couldn't be left here.

“You rewrite your confession, only stating that you trafficked innocent women.”

The young man nodded blankly, then blankly wrote another copy.

After he finished writing, a glimmer of light finally appeared in his dull eyes. "Can you let me go now?"
