Lin Ru patted Xiao Yue's lowered head with a smile!

Xiaoyue immediately lowered her head and sobbed in grievance!

It was as if it wasn't the one that had just slapped someone to death!

Ning Gui breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Lin Ru appear!

Meanwhile, Madam Gao, who had just thought she was going to die, closed her eyes, but the pain she had imagined did not come!

Instead, a voice she didn't want to hear came from behind her!

She turned her head in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock!

"you……"

"Are you a goddess?"

"How is that possible?"

"They clearly saw it with their own eyes..."

Lin Ru narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with coldness, as she looked at the woman who seemed utterly insecure!

"What did you see?"

"Could it be that they saw me abandoning the city and fleeing?"

She looked coldly at everyone present!

Ultimately, their gaze settled on Ning Gui!

"Lord Ning, what exactly is going on? I was just feeling a little unwell and was sleeping soundly, so I didn't hear anything outside! Why are so many people here uninvited in my courtyard? And who are those people lying on the ground? And all these commoners! What are they doing here? Do they want to see if I've abandoned the city and fled?"

Ning Gui quickly knelt on the ground, lowered his head in shame, and said, "Your Majesty! It is my incompetence that I failed to stop them from entering."

"However, I absolutely believe that Your Majesty will not abandon the city and flee!"

Lin Ru let out a cold laugh!

“I know you are loyal! But just because you think this way doesn’t mean everyone else thinks this way, don’t you think so, Madam Gao?”

When Madam Gao's name was mentioned, her legs went weak!

She had seen this so-called Empress from afar before, and thought she was just an innocent little girl who didn't know how she had gotten so lucky to become the so-called Empress. But now she was facing her in person!

She felt the oppressive aura of a superior emanating from the young girl in front of her! That aura of authority without anger made her tremble slightly, and the indifferent contempt in her eyes, as if she were looking at an ant, made it seem as if the life and death of everyone in the world were none of her concern.

Such a person is certainly not the kind-hearted goddess of legend, but a ruthless demon!

"you……"

Before she could utter any outrageous words, she felt a cold glint flash before her eyes, and then she felt a sharp pain in her neck, rendering her speechless!

She clutched her neck tightly, then collapsed helplessly to the ground!

Lin Ru stared coldly at the blood-stained dagger in her hand!

Those fair, jade-like fingers gently wiped away the bloodstains from the dagger!

He casually glanced up at the terrified people opposite him!

"Since you disregarded my orders and recklessly barged into my room, you should be prepared to die!"

She gripped the dagger tightly, then raised it, pointing the tip at the people opposite her!

"You guys!"

"I've been too lenient with you all!"

"You've probably forgotten what hierarchy and respect mean!"

"The strong are respected, and the weak are despised! Don't you understand such a simple principle?"

"Since you all disregard my orders and insist on barging in, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Ning Gui! Arrest everyone present! Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Gui felt as if he had found a pillar of support!

He straightened his back and nodded in agreement!

He hadn't gone all out before because he thought that His Majesty was such a kind person, someone who was willing to sacrifice his own life to pray for rain for the people, he certainly wouldn't have the heart to punish these innocent people and these women who were unaware of the inside story!

His Majesty has been too good to him, making him seem to have forgotten that his Majesty is a man who can single-handedly withstand an army of thousands!

He waved to the guards behind him, and they immediately began to act!

The onlookers were shocked to find themselves arrested for simply coming to watch the spectacle. The wealthy merchants, who had assumed it was normal for a young girl to be afraid and flee the city, were surprised to find that she was quite capable. She had brought the situation under control in a single encounter and even killed the leading woman!

They looked at each other, their shrewd eyes darting around!

After thinking about it, they finally knelt down on the ground with a thud!

"Your Majesty, Goddess! We truly had no idea that you had ordered that no one be allowed to enter this room!"

"And we didn't even come in; we just looked around from outside the courtyard."

"Please, be magnanimous and spare us."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you are the kindest of all."

"We should be considered innocent because we were ignorant!"

"That's right! Everyone just wanted to leave the city and find a way to survive, but the guards at the city gate wouldn't let us out, so we thought we'd come to the government office to ask! We happened to see these women causing trouble, so we thought we'd come in and help!"

"I really didn't mean anything by it."

Lin Ru sneered, "What are you up to? Don't think I don't know."

"I hate listening to people nagging! Shut your stinking mouths right now! If you open your mouths again, I'll kill you on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, and looking at Lin Ru's icy face, those people didn't know why, but the words of rebuttal stuck in their throats, and they couldn't utter them no matter what!

Some are afraid, while others are fearless!

"How can you kill people with your words?"

"What fairy sent down from heaven?"

"It's all a lie! How could a fairy kill someone?!"

Lin Ru gripped the dagger in her hand, looked at the person who spoke with a cold smile, and then suddenly flung the dagger out, piercing the person's forehead!

The immense force nearly split the man's head in two!

Blood was gushing everywhere!

She watched indifferently as the people in front of her screamed and tried to escape!

The system in my mind kept playing a message that my hatred level was increasing!

She was speechless. The reason she had to buy the Gale Pill and retrieve the weapons and armor she had made was because she didn't want to continue using the Spirit Cannon!

This spirit cannon can indeed eliminate enemies perfectly in the shortest time! However, as long as this spirit cannon is used, it will increase the hatred value a lot in a short period of time. When she first bound this hatred value system, she always felt that God was favoring her. She had lived too bitterly in her previous life. She was about to ascend to immortality, but died in the tribulation of lightning!

This hatred system is her reward!

But to her utter surprise, the more hatred she felt, the more intense her inner demons became!

Although you would receive some spiritual power when you prayed for water and rain for these people before!
