Chang Rong touched her face, the blood on her hands and the piercing pain making her eyes turn bloodshot. She lunged at Jin Shangyue with murderous intent.
"You little bitch, how dare you slap my face! I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Chang Rong didn't take Jin Shangyue seriously at all. Besides, before the trip, the madam had specifically instructed that she hadn't planned for Jin Shangyue to return to the Yu family unharmed.
However, before she could even touch the hem of Jin Shangyue's clothes, she was whipped away by the oncoming whip.
With a bang, it slammed onto the table, fell into the ruins, and unfortunately got pierced through the thigh by a piece of broken wood.
Jin Shangyue played with the whip in her hand, slowly stood up from the sofa, picked up the glass of water that Chang Rong had prepared for her, and walked towards Chang Rong.
Swaying gracefully, elegant and alluring.
Every step he took carried an innate air of nobility and the powerful aura of a superior, inspiring awe in others.
The servants were almost in tears: This second young lady is so terrifying, so scary, sob sob...
Chang Rong, overwhelmed by pain and resentment, ignored these unusual signs and looked at Jin Shangyue as she approached, her eyes filled with a hatred that seemed to want to tear her apart.
"You bitch! You're asking for it!"
At this moment, Chang Rong truly harbored murderous intent.
He unleashed all his inner energy, channeling it into his palm, and struck Jin Shangyue from afar.
The unstoppable force of the true energy struck Jin Shangyue's face directly.
This was a full-force attack from a martial artist at the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm.
Let alone an ordinary person being torn to shreds in an instant, leaving not even a trace, even a level 10 superpowered expert would suffer heavy losses if they faced each other.
Chang Rong's attack was clearly intended to kill Jin Shangyue.
Jin Shangyue naturally wouldn't show any mercy, but before killing Chang Rong, she needed to confirm one thing.
Jin Shangyue channeled her soul power into the whip, and after dispersing the attack with a single lash, she pulled out a talisman, instantly immobilizing the ferocious Chang Rong.
"You, come here." Jin Shangyue beckoned to a servant.
Seeing Chang Rong frozen in place, unable to move, Lin Xiang walked toward Jin Shangyue with trembling legs.
"Miss... Miss Yue." Lin Xiang lowered her head, wishing she could crawl on her stomach.
Jin Shangyue handed her the water glass: "Give this water to her."
Lin Xiang had no idea what was wrong with the water, nor did she know about Chang Rong's scheme.
Seeing that his life was spared and that Jin Shangyue didn't want to cause him any trouble, he quickly took the water cup, used both hands and feet to go forward, pried open Chang Rong's mouth, and poured the water inside into her mouth.
The entire movement was performed in one smooth motion, without any hesitation.
"Cough cough... You dog slave! You don't want to live anymore! How dare you listen to this bitch? I'll skin you alive in a minute!"
Chang Rong coughed violently as she choked on the fumes, while simultaneously yelling and cursing at Lin Xiang with murderous intent.
Lin Xiang was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
In the Dragon Martial Empire, powerful and influential families stand side by side, with a clear hierarchy. Servants are considered the private property of their masters and can be disposed of privately.
Imperial law does not protect servants who have signed indentures.
Steward Chang Rong is one of the Madam's trusted confidants. She is a second-class steward. In the Yu family, stewards can act with impunity except for their masters. As long as they have a valid reason, they can directly deal with the servants below them.
Jin Shangyue glanced at the maid. Having learned about the Yu family and the Longwu Empire beforehand, she knew a little about these systems.
He didn't say anything, but simply observed Chang Rong's mental state, which was visibly deteriorating.
Jin Shangyue probed Chang Rong's internal organs and blood vessels with her divine sense.
His body was depleted and weak, his vitality was slowly dissipating, and his meridians in his dantian were gradually dying. Not only did his cultivation disappear in an instant, but his originally healthy body was also slowly decaying.
At this rate, he won't live more than three months.
