The sound of bones cracking rang out along with the sound of wind breaking.
The men screamed in agony as soon as they felt the pain.
Quan Ji glanced around, a smirk playing on her lips, and slowly walked around the kneeling men.
"This is love in the Heart Dream Empire? I've learned something new."
"How about we play a game?"
"The game is called... 123 Wooden Man."
"The rules of the game are very simple. I will keep walking and talking to everyone. I will stop after I finish speaking. Whoever is closest to me, I will kill. Okay?"
Quan Ji's gameplay was indeed very simple. When the rules were explained, everyone was stunned and dared not utter a sound.
You call this "123, freeze!"
You call this chatting? Let's kill someone to liven things up!
Hold……
How could this woman be so terrifying? Who is she?!
In the pitch-black night, the cold wind blew exceptionally cold, seemingly piercing to the bone and delivering a fatal blow.
Everyone felt as if they were in hell, powerless to control their own destiny, with the death knell potentially striking them at any moment.
Quan Ji was very satisfied with their performance and chuckled softly:
"Then, let the game begin."
As soon as he said that, everyone's expression tensed up.
Quan Ji began to walk slowly.
"What should we say first? Let's start by answering what you just said."
Quan Ji stopped.
She placed her hand on a man's shoulder but didn't touch him because she thought it was dirty.
In an instant, the man's body was torn apart by the gale, and his screams were particularly horrifying. Everyone could see how the wind blew away layer after layer of his skin, until he finally died in excruciating pain.
This terrified everyone, leaving them trembling with fear.
Just by looking at it, you can tell how painful it must be.
Someone quickly spoke up: "You didn't even finish speaking! You broke your rules!"
Quan Ji chuckled, her voice carrying a hint of kindness.
"How could that be? Whether or not you finish a sentence is up to me."
As she spoke, Quan Ji walked up to the man who had questioned her.
In an instant, the man died in the same way.
No one dared to speak anymore; they could only lower their heads and pray that the demon would not come near them.
Quan Ji smiled, raised her head, and began to walk slowly.
"Hey, you just called me a demon, but if I were just a helpless little girl, would you turn into demons... like you would your beloved wives, insulting me, humiliating me, using me as a tool for your venting, a toy to give away? If I'm a demon... then what kind of angels are you, you inhuman little cuties?"
After she finished speaking, she stopped, and the man closest to her died.
No one dared to speak; they could only humbly bow their heads as they listened to Quan Ji's extremely sarcastic statement.
Only when these words came from Quan Ji's mouth did they realize what revenge truly meant.
Evil that the law fails to judge will eventually be stopped by someone else's evil.
Princess Quan then said:
"Also, I heard you're going to tell Empress Fuhua about me. I'm actually terrified. I'm afraid she'll kneel down in front of me and never get up!"
She emphasized the last four words, stopped in her tracks, and the man beside her had his internal organs ripped apart by an invisible wind. His screams pierced the sky, and the fear of death intensified.
Princess Quan continued walking.
"Legend has it that the Heart Dream Empire is a country full of love and romance. Seeing it today, it is indeed different. Love is controlled by others, and violence and lust are indulged. In a society where there is no scruples as long as there is a marriage relationship, some people rely on their innate advantages to gang up like tigers and wolves, bullying the weak and oppressing the vulnerable. They are morally corrupt and disgusting. Should such people be killed?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another person died.
"Male superiority over female? There is no such thing as gender superiority in this world. Men's hands are for conquering the world, not for beating women! Only good-for-nothings need to use force to protect their relationships with their lovers. Isn't the most direct example right now? If I wanted to kill any one of you, could you stop me? You're just a bunch of good-for-nothings."
Another one has died.
One by one, they died.
Quan Ji's voice was like the pendulum of doomsday, intensifying the fear in people's hearts layer by layer.
This woman is absolutely terrifying.
Quan Ji continued speaking.
"I think even a gaudy empress would need a brain tumor to think that love is just a simple marriage. She's probably a social degenerate who never even went to school."
"Love... no, more broadly speaking, it should be called emotion. These are not things that can be determined by a name. The reason why humans can become one of the eight major races is because they are born with emotional perception that is superior to other races. If even emotional perception is replaced by logical perception, then what is the difference between us and animals?"
"Why are you looking at me? I'm talking to you guys."
"However, I also thank you for letting me know that marriage and happiness have nothing to do with each other, so... I will grant your wish and let you be reborn as animals in peace."
One man after another died tragically.
These people ultimately paid a heavy price for their actions.
In the end, only one man remained kneeling, but he was crying uncontrollably, humbly kowtowing and begging for Quan Ji's life.
"I know I was wrong... I know I was wrong, sir. Please, please forgive me. I am ashamed... I will spend my whole life repenting!"
"Remorse?"
Quan Ji repeated those two words, turned around, stopped, and smiled slightly.
"What makes you think that the mistakes you've made can be made up for?"
"Does your remorse mean the women you've hurt can be restored to their former selves?"
"If you feel remorse, does that mean you didn't commit any evil deeds?"
"Your remorse is useless. Why should I let you go?"
Quan Ji's every word could drive a person crazy.
However, what drove these people mad was definitely not her words, but the evil they themselves had done.
No wonder Akabane sacrificed himself to let her save everything.
The once love-obsessed Xinmeng Empire has become like this; it's truly ironic.
Quan Ji twisted her neck, finally walked to the last man, squatted down, and looked him in the eye.
"How about we play a new game? If you win, I'll let you go."
Upon hearing that he had a chance to survive, the man's gloomy eyes immediately lit up. Without even listening to the conditions, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes! I'll play! I'll play!"
Quan Ji curled her lips into a slight smile.
"OK."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and looked at the group of girls who had been oppressed for who knows how long and were now huddled together in fear even after seeing themselves being rescued.
"Hey everyone, would you like to play this game with me?"
—Author's Note—
Quan Ji's long-awaited, serious game.
