Upon hearing this, the judge...
As if he had heard something unbelievable, he burst into laughter several times.
"Hahaha... Breaking my rules?" The judge then formally examined Jiang Li for a moment. "Since I became the ruler of this Tongue-Pulling Hell, no one has ever dared to speak so arrogantly in front of me! Very well, I'll see... how you intend to break my rules!"
“So…” Jiang Li’s lips slowly curved upwards, her tone tinged with curiosity, “Judge, what are your rules?”
The judge was speechless for a long time after being taken aback by Jiang Li's words.
All along...
Once you enter the Tongue-Pulling Hell, you must obey him; that's the rule.
But no one ever tried to break his rules, even if...
It was resolved very quickly.
So regarding this...
There really wasn't any specific treaty content.
Seeing the judge's dark face and silence, Jiang Li seemed to instantly understand something...
With an air of nonchalance, she lazily said, "I thought it would be some kind of strict rule... But judging from this... it shouldn't be..."
Jiang Li played the last note for a very long time.
The judge was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at the judge.
Before he could speak, Jiang Li added, "Why don't you... set some rules on the spot now? And use these as the standard from now on... After all, I think... since I'm here today, other people will definitely appear in the future. Having some rules and regulations will at least serve as a deterrent."
Chang Xin was shocked to see Jiang Li chatting seriously with the judge.
Is this the time for you to talk about this?
Do you know...?
We two might not be able to leave!
Don't you have even the slightest sense of crisis, urgency, or fear?!
Or is it...?
Do you think you're capable enough to handle this situation?
Please consider her feelings.
She was terrified!
The judge did not find Jiang Li's words offensive; on the contrary, he thought there was some truth to them.
So he became more interested and asked Jiang Li, "Then tell me... what kind of rule would be more deterrent and intimidating to others?"
“Actually, I don’t know much about your Tongue-Pulling Hell. Since you, Judge, are the one in charge here, then…” Jiang Li seemed to have thought of a good idea, and her eyes lit up a bit. “If anyone is dissatisfied, they can challenge you. If they win, they will have a chance to appeal and clear their name. If they lose, they will naturally be fish on the chopping board, at your mercy.”
"What you mean by that is..." A cold glint flashed in the judge's eyes again, "You think... you can defeat me?"
"I can't guarantee that." Jiang Li chuckled dryly, then said seriously, "After all, rules need to be established, and those rules naturally need to be difficult to break. I think this condition will be easier for you, Judge, to accept, don't you think?"
The judge listened and suddenly laughed.
However, he was still somewhat confused and asked, "You're confident you can beat me, so why go through all this trouble? Why not just start fighting?"
“It’s different.” Jiang Li shook his head and said honestly, “If there were rules, after we win, the judge would definitely have to follow the rules and let us go. If we fight on our own, you’re not alone, so you would naturally send ghost messengers to arrest us… If that alarms others, it would be very disadvantageous for us. So… we’d rather go through the trouble of having a proper match with you, the judge. If you’re satisfied, it’ll be convenient for us too, right?”
Upon hearing this, the judge gave Jiang Li a deep look.
This girl is still naive. Does she really think that just because he agrees to let her go, she can leave?
Thinking about what would happen next, the judge suddenly smiled and agreed, "Alright, since you're the first person to do this, I'll grant your request!"
Jiang Li's tone also became a bit lighter, "Then thank you very much, Judge."
The judge led Jiang Li to a relatively secluded place, suitable for the competition.
The two men followed the judge.
Chang Xin followed closely behind Jiang Li.
Chang Xin glanced at the judge's retreating figure, then at Jiang Li.
Finally, she couldn't help but tug at Jiang Li's arm, asking with some worry, "Are you really confident? The other party is a judge... Do you know what a judge is? A judge is a very powerful being in the underworld. Are you really... able to handle it?"
"I think it's quite fitting that you fell to this level." Jiang Li narrowed her eyes and said casually, "Because I also find you annoying and want to pull out your tongue."
Chang Xin immediately covered her mouth, no longer daring to speak.
But after a moment of silence, she asked shyly, "Um... I wanted to ask you... how did you find me?"
"Your scream was incredibly piercing." Jiang Li picked at her ear, seemingly still able to recall the agony it caused. "I can still pinpoint your location based on your voice."
Chang Xin looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression.
She was wrong before, thinking that Jiang Li, such a young girl, couldn't possibly be very capable.
But……
even so……
Can she compete with the judge who governs the Hell of Tongue-Pulling?
Chang Xin soon realized that her worries were unnecessary.
because……
Jiang Li quickly engaged the judge in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Moreover, she didn't use any of the talismans she had used before, and fought her opponent bare-handed.
Whether it was pre-arranged by the two of them or not, the judge didn't use any abilities beyond human comprehension; he simply fought Jiang Li with brute force.
And so they went back and forth, the two of them constantly exchanging blows.
At first, Chang Xin was very nervous.
But later...
The two remained evenly matched, which eased Chang Xin's worries somewhat.
later……
She simply watched the two fight with a blank expression.
Who wins or loses is no longer important to her...
She just hoped that this fight would end soon.
If it doesn't end soon...
She was almost falling asleep while watching it.
Just as Chang Xin was in a daze, she suddenly heard a rough, heavenly voice.
"I haven't had such a satisfying fight in a long time." The judge looked at Jiang Li, his eyes full of admiration. "You... are very good."
Jiang Li remained calm and nodded slightly to the judge. "Thank you for your praise, Judge. If you hadn't stopped in time, I'm afraid I would have lost."
"You little rascal, you're quite interesting," the judge said, then pointed in a direction for Jiang Li. "Since I promised you, I naturally won't go back on my word. The exit is over there; you can leave on your own."
"Thank you, Your Honor."
Jiang Li thanked her again with a solemn expression, then pulled Chang Xin, who was still looking bewildered, away.
After a while, Chang Xin finally came to her senses. She looked at Jiang Li in confusion, "Wait, why did they let us go? Who really won?"
The two were clearly fighting fiercely, so why did they suddenly stop?
That's really strange.
Jiang Li simply gave Chang Xin a mysterious look and then remained silent.
Chang Xin: "???"
What exactly is going on here?
