"Hey, Liu Zi, are you alright? The ground is scorching hot. Don't worry, I'll pull you up right now."
Seeing that she had acted rashly again, Shen Xin felt extremely guilty and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Liu Zi up.
Liu Zi turned pale with fright, pressed himself firmly to the ground, and said in a defiant tone, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer. I just want to lie on the ground right now, and nobody can pull me up."
Chen Xin: ...Is she really that scary?
"Fine! I won't touch you. If you like lying on the ground, then stay there. But don't you think the ground is hot?"
Rokuko: ……(????)
Ahhh, he'd accept it even if it was hot.
If he falls into the hands of this little devil, his frail body won't be able to withstand the torment.
Everyone looked at Chen Xin with mixed feelings, their lips twitching.
Shenyang sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He finally understood why his eldest brother always said that he and his sister only grew bigger in terms of appetite but not in terms of intelligence.
Yeah, his sister really has some mental issues!
But there was nothing he could do; she was his own sister.
"Hey sis! Come here right now, you're probably the last person Liu Zi wants to see."
Chen Xin lowered her head, feeling wronged.
"Brother, I didn't mean to upset him. I was just too excited. You know he's someone I've always liked, so it's understandable that I couldn't help myself!"
Liu Zi: ……●)o(●
Yue Mingxi and others: ?(*′?`*)? Oh my! We've got some juicy gossip! So happy!
Shenyang slapped himself hard, looking utterly embarrassed.
"Sis, it's your business if you like Liu Zi, but that doesn't mean Liu Zi likes you back! Besides, Liu Zi hasn't regained his memories yet, so you're just a stranger to him, you, you, you..."
As the older brother, he really felt bad saying anything too hurtful; it was really too much for him.
Chen Xin blinked. "What do you mean, 'me'?"
Shenyang sighed, "As a young woman, can't you be a little more reserved?"
Chen Xin shook her head dismissively, "No, being reserved can't put food on the table, what would I need it for?"
Shenyang:……
Just then, Ji Qiao flew to the front of the crowd. He glanced at everyone with a grin, and finally his gaze settled on Ji Yi.
"Brother, the princess asked me to tell you that those idiots are getting impatient. How much longer are you going to talk? If you don't want to do the mission, then go chat somewhere else."
Everyone immediately stopped looking like they were just watching the drama unfold.
Shenyang and Shenxin were filled with shame. They quickly picked up their large iron hammers and looked at Nangong Zichen, waiting for him to give them orders.
Nangong Zichen sighed, pointed to Liu Zi lying on the ground, and said to Ji Qiao, "Brother Ji Qiao, please take Brother Liu Zi to my sister, and we will go do the mission immediately."
"Alright!" Ji Qiao said with a grin, "By the way, Wuyou, the princess reminds you to spare the lives of these fools. We'll still need them to do the hard labor when building Yucheng County."
Nangong Zichen nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for passing on the message, Brother Jiqiao."
"You're welcome." Ji Qiao, carrying the still dazed Liu Zi, disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Nangong Zichen took a deep breath and gave the order to everyone present, "Brothers and sisters, proceed according to the plan and set off."
"yes."
Yue Mingxi and his seven companions took the lead and immediately flew to the bandits, with Nangong Zichen and his four little ones following closely behind.
The moment they appeared, the bandits' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately raised their weapons, looking at them warily.
The second-in-command narrowed his fierce eyes and said menacingly, "You little brats, what are you trying to do?"
Nangong Zichen chuckled, "What do I want to do? I'm here to kill you, of course!"
The second-in-command's heart skipped a beat, and he said angrily, "Outrageous! You little brats think you can kill us? You're simply ignorant of your own limitations! Humph, tell me, were you sent by Princess Chang Le?"
"Yes, how about that? Are you surprised? But don't be too happy."
Second-in-command: ...He's not surprised at all.
"Damn it, do you even know who we are?"
Nangong Zichen rolled his eyes. "Aren't you just notorious bandits? Based on what you've done, you're at most beasts, not human beings."
The second-in-command's face twitched with rage as he raised his broadsword and charged straight at Nangong Zichen.
"Damn it, you brat, how dare you call us beasts! Today I will tear you to pieces to vent my anger."
The underlings were equally enraged, raising their broadswords and shouting encouragement.
"Second-in-command, rise up! Second-in-command, rise up..."
"Second-in-command, you're the best! You must cut that kid's head off so we can use it as a football."
"Second Master, kill that arrogant brat. We're going to chop him up and feed him to the big dogs."
"..."
With each shout, the second-in-command's momentum grew, as if he had inexhaustible strength, and his pride was greatly satisfied.
Just when he thought he could easily kill Nangong Zichen, the broadsword in his hand slipped out of his grasp.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, Shenyang Shenxin kicked him in the chest.
At that moment, it felt as if his internal organs were about to shatter, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Then, his massive body suddenly flew into the air, completely out of his control.
The second-in-command was terrified and immediately let out a shrill, pig-slaughtering scream.
"Ahhhhh... Help! Someone, please help me! Ah, I'm afraid of heights..."
The underlings on both sides of the hillside were dumbfounded. The shouts that were still in their throats could only be quietly swallowed back down.
At this moment, they were unable to react in any way, their eyes and heads following the figure of the second-in-command.
It wasn't until the second-in-command crashed heavily to the ground with a "bang" that they snapped out of their daze and screamed in terror.
"Ah, Second Master, are you alright?"
"Second-in-command, quick, quick, brothers, let's go check if the second-in-command is alright?"
"Second Master, you absolutely mustn't die!"
"..."
Looking at the leaderless bandits, Nangong Zichen smiled coldly and gave Yue Mingxi a look.
Yue Mingxi smiled and accepted the order, quickly using her metal-type supernatural ability to move all the bandits' weapons to where the main force was.
This scene terrified the bandits once again. They watched helplessly as their weapons flew into the air and then into Princess Chang Le's main force.
This is weird, what's going on?
If the fact that their weapons were taken away for no reason shocked them, what happened next made them question the meaning of life, and they even felt like dying.
Ice hockey, fireball, lightning strike, being submerged in water, buried in soil, burned, and then suddenly having their feet bound by vines, dragging them into the trap they had dug.
This trap was clearly prepared for Princess Chang Le, but in the end, they themselves suffered the consequences.
Could this be the legendary... reaping what you sow?
