"Tearing you to pieces is too much trouble. I'll make two more cuts and sprinkle some salt on you, and you'll bleed to death like this, how about that?"
Seeing how much pain the man was in, Cen Xi added insult to injury.
"You vixen, you'll die a horrible death!"
The man was barely breathing, yet he continued to curse her.
"Tch! We'll see if you live to see that day!"
Cen Xi threw down the knife, went into the room, carried Xiao Yu to her bed, carried Liu Jiuyi to the soft couch, and then got into bed cleanly and neatly. She was too tired tonight and wanted to get a good night's sleep. She would talk about everything after Liu Jiuyi woke up.
Little did she know that two groups of people came to kill her today: one group actually attacked her, while the other group simply watched from the trees outside.
After witnessing Cen Xi's monstrous methods, this group of people temporarily abandoned their intention to kill her and went back to report.
"My lord, why did you leave the capital?"
The messenger originally thought they would have to wait a while for news from their master, but to his surprise, their master was nearby. They soon arrived at a villa and met their master.
"The monk Daocheng said that this woman was not so easy to kill, and insisted that I come in person. I couldn't refuse him, so I left the capital to see the woman he described as a miracle."
The speaker was dressed in black brocade, and there was a chilling aura between his brows, giving him an air of nobility and unapproachability, as if he were born from the clouds.
“My lord, this woman is indeed very strange. When we went to kill her, a group of people attacked her first. We hid in the shadows and watched carefully. Her martial arts skills are mediocre. At most, she can only beat a few thugs. However, her zither music is captivating and has a restraining effect on internal energy. Although I was quite far away, I was still affected by her zither music.”
"If we had struck first today, Jian Yin would probably be dead by now."
Jian Yin frowned and said seriously.
"Oh? Is that so? How does her zither music compare to the demonic sound of the Hidden Sect?"
Seeing his subordinate's seriousness, the man agreed with what the monk Daoyan had said and began to treat this woman as a human being.
"It has a similar effect, but it lacks the internal energy to enhance it, so it is less powerful."
Jian Yin thought for a moment and then said.
"Besides these things, what else is special about her?"
The man asked again.
"Ruthless and perverted!"
Jian Yin felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the way the assassin leader died. Even someone like him, who lived a life of constant danger, wouldn't be as ruthless as that woman.
"How exactly is it perverted?"
The man raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Master, have you ever seen someone cut a few times on a person, then sprinkle salt on them, like curing meat, to kill them? The leader of the other group of assassins just now died in this way.”
Jian Yin felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.
"That's a novel method. We can add this method to the prisons in the capital to interrogate prisoners in the future. When I get back, I'll have the Minister of Justice submit a memorial to add this new set of penal codes."
The man touched his well-defined fingertips and said calmly.
Jian Yin choked.
Well!
When it comes to perversion, who in the world is more perverted than the master in front of him?
That girl tonight was a bit of a pervert, but she's definitely not as bad as this Buddha in front of me. He's the true progenitor of perversion.
“Since you can’t handle her, then go and investigate the origins of the other group of assassins tonight. I, the leader of the alliance, will personally go and meet this woman.”
There was a hint of excitement in the man's eyes; he was clearly very interested in a woman who could come up with such a perverse way of torturing people.
"Yes, my lord!"
Jian Yin acknowledged and was about to leave, but when he reached the door, he turned back and said to the man:
"My lord, you must not let her play the zither when you go. Her music is extremely lethal. She sliced those assassins like carrots with ease. Once we are controlled by her music, we will have no chance to fight back."
"I understand, you may leave now!"
The man didn't seem to care and waved his hand dismissively.
"My lord, if you are going to kill him, you must remember this: you must not listen to her music."
As Jian Yin walked to the door, he still said something unwillingly.
"Am I, your master, really that stupid?"
The man gave him a cold glance, and Jian Yin immediately shut up and disappeared into the darkness.
Completely unaware that someone was thinking about her, Cen Xi slept until late morning. She was exhausted from the previous night, both physically and mentally.
After waking up and quickly washing her face, she went outside and saw the servants lying slumped and listless. She immediately remembered the assassination attempt from the previous night.
It seems that the body she occupies has some special identity, and she may very well face being hunted down at any time in the future.
Cen Xi instantly wanted to curse. She really didn't seem to have done anything bad in her past life. She wasn't someone's mistress, nor did she steal someone else's man. She just liked to do things out of curiosity. How did she get punished by Buddha and end up here?
Could it be that she stole someone else's man in her past life and became a mistress, and although she didn't suffer retribution in her previous life, it's her turn to suffer in this one?
But she doesn't remember a thing about what she did in her past life. How is she supposed to deal with that?
"ah!"
"I'm so worried! Why am I so unlucky?!"
Thinking about being hunted down at any time in the future, Cen Xi became so agitated that she wanted to jump off a building. She thought it would be better to die and be reborn in the next life.
Just as she climbed onto the roof and was about to jump, another thought popped into her head: what if in her next life she was reborn as a pig, like Marshal Tianpeng, and became Zhu Bajie?
No! I still can't jump!
In the end, Cen Xi could only return to her room with a world-weary look on her face, sit down at the octagonal table, and remain silent with a pout.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
As soon as Xiaoyu woke up, she walked up to Cenxi, took Cenxi's hand with her chubby little hand, and asked.
"Little Fish, what was my identity before? Have we always lived in Little Li Village?"
"Xiaoyu doesn't know, we moved to Xiaoli Village three years ago."
Before Xiaoyu could answer, Jiuyi replied first.
"What was your mother's background before? Why was she attacked by assassins last night?"
Cen Xi looked at Xiao Yu and saw that she looked completely bewildered, so she probably didn't know anything.
“My mother has no identity whatsoever; they must have come to kill you.”
Liu Jiuyi thought for a moment and then said seriously.
"Impossible. Your mother must have another identity. Those assassins last night clearly had a specific purpose. They came to kill this body. I am just a soul residing in your mother's body. How could they possibly come to kill me?"
Cen Xi immediately rejected Liu Jiuyi's words.
"Then I don't know. You're so smart, think it over yourself. Anyway, you have to protect my mother's health."
Liu Jiuyi watched as Cen Xi acted up again. Clearly, Cen Xi's previous deliberate neglect had failed to change the little brat's mind.
"I've realized now that you're really unreasonable! I'm just a wandering ghost, I haven't bothered anyone, so why should I care if your mother gets hurt? These people are obviously after your mother. You brat, you're being way too unreasonable! You're just taking advantage of the fact that I care about you, trying to stab me in the heart, aren't you!"
