As the big boss of Fengmen Village, Snake Sister's word is law.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face left the hall without uttering a single unnecessary word.

The leopard's corpse was right at my feet, and the stench of blood filled my nostrils.

I stood beside the corpse, staring fearlessly at the gauze curtain: "Sister Snake, I've done what you asked me to do! You absolutely mustn't listen to Black Impermanence and execute me! I've seen through that idiot; he's a treacherous minister!"

After hearing my words, the serpentine woman said in a flippant tone, "When did I ever need you to do anything for me?"

"Sister Snake, as the master of Fengmen Village, you've seen more of the world than I have. It's no fun for you to play dumb with me!"

When I heard the beautiful snake say that, I immediately retorted, "Actually, I already know very well why you executed Leopard Tail today! Although he condoned Qu Xuelin's trouble in Fengmen Village, he did not harm any villagers. Instead, it was the cruel official who led the provocation who brought about his own destruction! This was originally a minor matter that could have been suppressed! The reason you used Leopard Tail, who had been by your side for so long, as a scapegoat was not because you actually wanted to kill him!"

The serpentine beauty smiled: "Then tell me, who do I want to kill?"

"I have no idea."

I spoke truthfully: "Although I can't figure out who you want to kill, I can tell that you are using this method to intimidate the people around you, to let them know that you can even get rid of Leopard Tail who has followed you for so many years, so naturally you will not hesitate to eliminate others!"

Based on what Horse-Face said, there are now vacancies in the positions of Leopard Tail and Wasp among the Ten Great Ghost Messengers, indicating that you are also experiencing turmoil! You urgently need to do something to let these people know who the real boss of Fengmen Village is, and also to make them understand whose hands their lives are in!

"Snake Sister, actually, if I wanted to solidify Leopard Tail's crime of rebellion, I could have used many excuses. The reason I was vague was to give the impression that you wanted to kill someone without any concrete evidence! Now that I've done it for you, you wouldn't kill a nobody like me, would you?"

The serpentine woman remained noncommittal: "You should know that a person who is too clever will not live long in this world!"

"Of course I know that, but lying to someone of your status would probably make me die a much worse death! I might as well just say what I mean and maybe I can live a little longer."

I smiled and said, "Many times, a lie is a lifesaver! But in some situations, honesty is also a lifesaver!"

"You're interesting."

After hearing my answer, the beautiful snake softly uttered two words: "Come here."

I hesitated for a moment, then stepped onto the stairs and stood on the halfway point of the landing.

"Keep going."

When I heard the snake woman say that, I stepped forward again and stood in front of the gauze curtain.

Through the hazy gauze curtain, I could vaguely see that the lights inside were bright, but I couldn't make out the beautiful snake.

The serpentine beauty uttered two more words: "Continue."

I steeled myself and lifted the curtain in front of me.

I was stunned when I saw the beautiful snake.

No wonder she's called the "Snake Beauty"; she truly is a rare and stunning beauty.

What surprised me was not only the serpentine beauty's stunning looks, but also her age.

At this moment, she was lying on a chaise lounge behind a thin veil, dressed very lightly, only covering her vital parts.

Her fair skin was adorned with light blue tattoos, as if countless willow branches were hanging down from her body.

As far as I know, this woman has been in charge of Fengmen Village for many years and has a deep grudge against Duan Jinyan, so she must be quite old.

But she looks only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

Could it be that this is just a stand-in?

Seeing me staring blankly at her, the beautiful snake extended her slender finger and gently beckoned me: "Come here."

I was completely taken aback, and walked over as if possessed.

The beautiful snake lazily got up, lifted my chin with her fingers, stared at me and said, "Since I founded Fengmen Village, no one has ever dared to kill anyone in this place without my permission, and you are the first."

I felt uncomfortable under the cold gaze of the beautiful snake, and explained awkwardly, "Sister Snake, since you are the master of Fengmen Village, nothing that happens here can escape your eyes. But regarding the murder, I must explain to you! I killed the cruel official by accident. At the time, he was determined to kill me to silence me, and I had no choice but to fight back to save my life. As for the two bodyguards beside me, he fired them himself to cover up the truth. It has nothing to do with me!"

"Go to hell!"

The beautiful snake suddenly changed her expression; her originally cold face turned ferocious, and she threw a punch at my face.

Startled by the sudden attack from the beautiful snake, I instinctively dodged to the side, but her second punch came right after.

I never expected the beautiful snake to attack me personally, so I used my arm to block her attack.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, I was knocked back two steps by the beautiful snake's punch. Before I could react, her leg was already sweeping towards my face.

This woman moved too fast!

I managed to last only one round against her.

Before I could retaliate, the snake-like woman's leg was already there, but it didn't kick my head; instead, it stopped beside my ear with a whoosh.

Seeing my expression, the beautiful snake's slender foot brushed across my forehead, tapping my forehead with her toe, before she returned to her languid expression and sat back down on the chaise longue: "Your martial arts are too poor; you're no match for the cruel official. You didn't kill him."

"I really did kill him!"

I looked at the snake-woman with some fear: "When a person's will to survive is at its peak, their potential is immeasurable. Back then, the cruel official shot me several times. I was so eager to survive that my behavior was naturally different from before."

"Heh, whatever. He's a dying man anyway, so what does it matter who kills him?"

The serpentine beauty seemed completely uninterested in my answer, and said, swinging her long legs, "Have a drink with me."

"drink wine?"

I was completely bewildered by the snake-like woman's erratic thinking: "You just wanted to kill me, and now you want me to drink with you?"

The beautiful snake frowned slightly: "Being able to drink with me is a good thing that many people would kill for. Don't be ungrateful."

"Come on, don't make it sound like some kind of favor! I think you're just feeling a bit guilty after killing Leopard Tail! And as the master of Fengmen Village, you naturally can't easily show your emotions to outsiders, so you want to find a stranger like me to get drunk with and vent your emotions!"

I rolled my eyes: "I'm not stupid! What if you let me see my vulnerable side and then turn around and kill me to cover it up? Wouldn't I be ruined then?"

"You have no choice in this matter. Drink with me, and tomorrow morning I will send you and your friends out of Fengmen Village."

The serpentine beauty stared at me coldly: "Promise me you can live! Otherwise, you will all die!"
