"Wait, heroine, please spare my life. I'm willing to be your dog. From now on, all of us in Jiuqu Village will follow your and Honglou's lead." If she were just an unknown woman, Shi Fang would rather die, but Honglou was different.
The Red Mansion, the number one assassin's mansion in the world, can kill whomever they want, and the government can't do anything about it.
If Jiuqu Village joins the Red Mansion, then the other outlaw villages, government offices, and even the imperial court will be no match for them.
A sudden surge of boundless imagination filled his mind.
Rosie: "..."
What's so captivating about that Dream of the Red Chamber? Her attitude changed so drastically. But, does she want to be her subordinate?
That's wishful thinking.
Even setting aside the fact that she wasn't the owner of the Dream of the Red Chamber, her appearance alone disqualifies her from being his subordinate.
"You don't deserve it!" Her tone was full of disdain.
He's not worthy? The expectation and fawning on Shi Fang's face instantly vanished: "...Why?"
What's wrong with him?
He had a full forehead and well-developed limbs. When he was a child, a Taoist priest said that he had the potential to be appointed as a king or general.
Why is it that such an outstanding man like him isn't even worthy of being a subordinate?
"I disagree. Explain yourself."
"Explain what? If you're not good enough, you're not good enough. What's there to explain?" Luo Xi didn't say anything, just stared at him.
“Alright, alright!” Shi Fang lowered his head and said, “Then, Ninth Master, I will take you to the treasury. Consider the silver as our Nine-Bend Village’s tribute to the Red Mansion. We hope you will take good care of us in the future.”
Even if they don't offer any special treatment, the owner of the Ninth Mansion will feel obligated to help them if they use the name of the Red Mansion to do something, and he won't be able to refuse.
"Lead the way!" Luo Xi neither agreed nor disagreed, and even cast a spatial confinement spell on them from a distance.
"Ninth Floor Master, what's wrong with you..." Shi Fang felt a pang of panic as he realized that he could no longer move his body except for his legs.
"Oh, just to prevent you from doing anything else." Rosie said in a nonchalant tone, "I'll let you go when I leave."
Although Shi Fang was very unhappy, he had no choice but to swallow his anger because he was facing the Red Mansion.
Rosie nodded in satisfaction: "Let's go!"
However, just as they reached the door of a house, several figures suddenly rushed out and attacked Shi Fang and his companions without regard for anything else.
"You scoundrels, go to hell!"
Shi Fang looked terrified: "What are you going to do..."
But before he could finish speaking, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart: "You, you..."
This isn't over yet.
The figures attacked with a knife and a sword, and in the blink of an eye, Shi Fang and his companions were riddled with holes, not a single patch of their skin unscathed.
The women did not stop; their faces were contorted with rage as they cried and laughed, numbly waving their weapons.
Yes, these seemingly insane killers were actually just a few frail women, each dressed in rags and covered in wounds.
But at this moment, they seemed to feel no pain or fear, and their expressions became frenzied.
"Hahaha, I've finally gotten my revenge! I've killed those villains! I'm free!"
"They're all dead, all dead. I'm not afraid of you anymore, not afraid of you anymore."
"My lord, now that the robber is dead, I'm clean, right? You'll still want me, won't you?"
...The whole scene was filled with both hope and despair.
The words that Rosie wanted to say to spare their lives got stuck in her throat, and she swallowed them back.
Never mind, let her figure out how to find it herself in a bit.
What a coincidence! Couldn't they have waited until she found the vault before making their move?
Luo Xi sighed, watching helplessly as the corpses of Shi Fang and the others were chopped into minced meat, the kind that could be used as dumpling filling.
The women finally regained their senses and were terrified by their own handiwork. They quickly dropped their weapons and screamed as they ran far away.
Only the leader, still holding his blood-dripping broadsword, stared blankly at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground.
"Father, elder brother, sister-in-law, you can rest in peace now," she murmured softly, her eyes filled with tears.
But what will she do after that?
It's all gone, absolutely nothing left!
She picked up the large knife from the ground and began hacking wildly at the pile of minced meat.
Damn robbers, disgusting robbers, die, all of you die!!
Rosie: "..."
Girls can be quite scary when they go crazy.
"Hey, stop chopping it, it's all turned into dumpling filling."
The woman paused, her eyes lingering on the pile of rotten flesh. The memory of pork dumpling filling she had eaten during the Lunar New Year involuntarily flooded her mind, causing her stomach to churn violently. She couldn't help but vomit with a "whoosh."
"Is it really that disgusting?" Luo Xi rolled her eyes and said seriously, "It does look a lot like dumpling filling, but it's chopped too finely, there's still blood in it, and it's not salty, so it might not taste very good."
"Ugh—" A series of vomiting sounds rang out from all around, and the sour smell instantly filled the air.
"Benefactor, can, can you stop talking?" The woman at the head of the group looked at Luo Xi with a pale face, and the other women nodded with lingering fear.
But they didn't realize that after Luo Xi teased them like that, the sadness and confusion on their faces had disappeared.
Luo Xi's eyebrows curved slightly, but she didn't say anything more.
The woman at the head of the group pulled the others down to their knees in front of Luo Xi with a thud.
"Our benefactor, thank you for saving us. We sisters will never forget your great kindness."
Seeing this, the other women also said with tears in their eyes, "Thank you so much, benefactor, thank you so much, benefactor."
If she hadn't suddenly appeared and killed most of the bandits, all of them, even if they hadn't died, would probably have lived a life worse than death.
"..." Could Luo Xi say that she was just here to 'collect' supplies?
"Get up, everyone. Don't be shy. And goodbye."
Her treasury is still unfinished. It's almost dawn. So many people have died. The government officials will probably be here soon. After all, she can't guarantee that there won't be a few who escaped.
Thinking this, Rosie turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait, benefactor." The man in the lead called out to Loxi, "Benefactor, are you looking for these thieves' vault?"
Luo Xi paused, glancing over in surprise: "You know where it is?"
"Just call me Liu Chunhua, my benefactor," the woman at the front said. "I... I used to be quite... favored in the mountain stronghold."
She was a little embarrassed to speak: "So..."
Rosie understood: "Thank you."
Liu Chunhua shook her head: "We just ruined our benefactor's plans, it's our duty. I'll take you there."
"Chunhua!" At this moment, a tall, slender woman next to her grabbed her arm and shook her head.
Luo Xi looked over meaningfully, but what she saw startled her: thick, sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose, and a tall, slender frame.
She doesn't look like a woman at all.
Although 'she' was dressed in women's clothing, and her face was powdered and rouged.
Liu Chunhua awkwardly pulled the man away: "This, this is my fiancé."
“These strongmen killed any man who came up the mountain for various reasons, like my father and elder brother. That’s why Yang Qing had to disguise himself as a woman.”
