Sheng Hao's eyes flickered, and he lay on the ground stammering, unable to admit it.
Seeing his evasive and guilty look, everyone present was furious.
Especially those people whose children had been taken away, their eyes were bloodshot, their fists were clenched tightly, and their teeth were grinding, as if they wanted to rush up and tear Sheng Haochang, that beast, apart.
The scene was filled with rage!
Sheng Hao trembled like a leaf!
The more than 3,000 bound soldiers were both shocked by the idea of immortality and terrified of the miserable days that lay ahead.
Sheng Lingwei's stunningly beautiful face turned icy cold as she instantly returned to the high platform.
With a wave of her hand, she sent Sheng Haoyu and his thirty-odd lackeys flying through the air, crashing heavily to the ground in front of the people.
The sounds of bones breaking, groans, and screams rose and fell.
Sheng Lingwei's sharp gaze swept over everyone, her red lips parted slightly, and her ethereal and serious voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"Listen up, everyone! There is no such thing as immortality in this world. The so-called eating children's hearts and livers and drinking children's blood is utter nonsense and utterly insane."
Heaven hates evil and treats everyone fairly and justly. Those who do all sorts of bad things will die a terrible death. Even after death, they will only go to the eighteenth level of hell to suffer endless torment and will never be able to be reincarnated.
Humans should follow the laws of nature. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural order of things. Those who commit murder in pursuit of longevity will only die faster and more tragically.
"I'm making this clear today: anyone who commits further murder in the pursuit of immortality will be made to suffer every imaginable torment."
The people were startled and hurriedly replied loudly, "Yes, Princess Chang Le, we will remember your words."
Sheng Lingwei sighed inwardly.
Human nature is complex. Everyone will feel panic when faced with death, and no one can guarantee what dirty things they might do in order to survive.
Therefore, once the matter of immortality is exposed to the public, she must immediately issue a stern warning to prevent such ignorant and outrageous acts from happening again.
It seems that we need to deal with these beasts, Yue Futing, as soon as possible. If things continue like this, they will ruin the reputation of the Yuezhi.
But so be it, I'll just squander it all!
Although her mother was the holy maiden of the Yuezhi, it was their fault for not managing the Yuezhi well, allowing an outsider to make a mess of the Yuezhi.
They should blame themselves for being useless. Don't try to morally blackmail her into cleaning up the mess for the Yuezhi.
Hmph, that's just how selfish she is.
In any case, she couldn't feel any goodwill towards the Yuezhi from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking of this, Sheng Lingwei's face grew even colder, and her gaze swept over the people who were suppressing their resentment.
"Alright, enough nonsense. These thirty-odd beasts are yours to do as you please. As for Sheng Haochang's corpse, I still have a use for it, so you can keep it for now."
"Yes, Princess Chang Le."
The people were so excited that they forgot to thank Sheng Lingwei and immediately started punching and kicking Sheng Hao.
Those who were too slow to run could not squeeze in, so they had to settle for dragging Sheng Hao's thirty-odd henchmen aside and beating them up.
"You beasts! Give me back my child! Give me back my child! He's not even five years old yet! Waaah!"
"Damn Sheng Haochang, all of you from the Wu'an Prince's Mansion deserve to die, you deserve to die a thousand deaths."
"Waaah, you wretched child! I want to see my child alive or dead! Tell me now, where is my child?"
"You beasts! You're all beasts! You can even eat people, what else are you incapable of doing?"
"I'll beat you to death, you beast! Give me back my child's life! Give me back my child's life!"
"Waaah, my little treasure, just wait, I will definitely avenge you. All those who hurt you will go to the deepest hell."
"..."
Listening to the common people's comments, Nangong Zichen and the others felt very uncomfortable and secretly vowed that they would never let the people of the Wu'an Prince's Mansion die too easily.
Taking advantage of the public's outrage, Sheng Lingwei found a few clean wooden houses and took out the supplies from her spatial storage.
Since she had encountered these pitiful people, she naturally wouldn't ignore them.
Anyway, she has so many supplies in her personal space that she can't count them all. If she doesn't use them, why would she let them gather dust in her space?
After placing the supplies, Sheng Lingwei quickly returned to the high platform and continued to watch the people vent their anger.
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had spoken with Sheng Lingwei earlier came to her, looking somewhat uneasy.
"Princess Chang Le..."
Sheng Lingwei nodded slightly, her eyes scrutinizing her. "Have you encountered a problem? Or is there something I need to decide for you?"
The middle-aged man pursed his lips, then knelt down with a thud, his eyes filled with the weariness of someone who had experienced many hardships.
"Princess Chang Le, my name is Zheng Yishu. I was formerly the prefect of Nanchang County. Now I am all alone and had intended to live out my days in peace. But I never expected to meet Your Highness and suddenly I have developed a longing for the world."
"I humbly beg Your Highness to accept this humble subject as your servant. Even if it means serving you like a slave, I would be willing."
Sheng Lingwei was shocked. She winked at Jing Qingyun. How could a dignified prefect have fallen to this state? She wondered what had happened to him.
Jing Qingyun smiled indulgently, reached out and squeezed Sheng Lingwei's small hand, then reached out and helped Zheng Yishu up.
"Lord Zheng, it's been a long time. I never expected you to have become like this."
Zheng Yishu blushed, first sighed, then gave a wry smile.
"Yes, Prince Jing, it's been a long time. I still remember you as a child back then, but now you've grown into a young man. Time waits for no one!"
Sheng Lingwei frowned, looked at Jing Qingyun and then at Zheng Yishu, and after a long while asked, "You two... know each other?"
Jing Qingyun nodded with a smile, "Yes, I know him. Lord Zheng and my father have been friends for many years. I've known him since I was a child."
Sheng Lingwei's lips twitched a few times. "Then why didn't you jump out and acknowledge him when I was talking to him before?"
Jing Qingyun smiled helplessly, "I thought Lord Zheng was seeking death because of his dull eyes and ashen face. After thinking it over, I decided not to meddle in other people's business."
Sheng Lingwei: Speechless! (′-﹏-`；)
Zheng Yishu smiled and said, "Princess Chang Le, I was indeed determined to die before. With my abilities, if I didn't want to be captured, I would never have appeared at the mine."
It's just that my heart is dead, and I only want to torture myself in this way.
Sheng Lingwei was speechless again. The man in front of her was a typical pessimist, especially fond of giving up on himself.
"So you're torturing yourself? Then why don't you just die now?"
If you want to die, then hurry up and die!
"Considering your past relationship with Xiaoyunzi, I'll have him collect your body and erect a tombstone for you."
Jing Qingyun, following her husband's lead, solemnly echoed, "Weiwei is right, Lord Zheng, you should just hurry up and die! Don't worry, we will absolutely not stop you from seeking death."
Zheng Yishu: "..."
