"Mother Empress...!" Lady Lian was overjoyed, but her warriors hadn't realized that this Commander Lang had inadvertently become their brother-in-law and sister's husband in Lady Lian's heart. They exclaimed in surprise, thinking that something was wrong with Lady Lian's mind.
"My mind is made up. You shall carry it out. From now on, Commander Lang will be an honored guest of our clan. You must not offend him, or I will not spare you!" Lady Lian said coldly. Her words left the warriors of the Yi clan staring at each other in disbelief, no longer daring to utter a sound.
"After all this commotion, I'm tired too. Luckily, the immortal sent over these little mice. Although they are of low quality, they taste quite delicious. My children, wash and skin them for the commander and me to fill our stomachs first. If there's not enough, you can go out and find some more."
Lady Lian was in a great mood, and her stomach suddenly felt even hungrier. But when she said those words, she terrified the rats present.
They had initially listened to what Lady Lian said and were too lazy to kill the under-evolved minions, thinking that as long as they kept quiet, they could escape with their lives. However, they did not expect that Lady Lian would actually eat them, and they all began to howl in despair.
“Madam Lian, we are reporters from Shu Clan Television Channel 2, we are journalists! We are protected by law! You cannot harm us, and you certainly cannot… you certainly cannot cruelly eat us! Heavens! This is a crime against the Holy Realm!” Meng Lan’s voice was shrill and bright, and she shouted the loudest.
"Li Xian, you're the one who told us to come and bolster your image. We've done nothing but wear these costumes. We're not gangsters, just a bunch of odd-job extras. You absolutely can't let these ants eat us up!"
"I want to go home! I want to go home! My eighty-year-old mother is waiting for me to come back and make breakfast!"
"Damn it, only a hundred yuan a night, and I'm risking my life for it! Who can I reason with?! Help!"
...
These are the mice wearing sunglasses around Li Kui chattering away.
“Lady Lian…Lady Lian! These are not Shu soldiers, they are just a bunch of odd jobs, you…you can’t…” Seeing this, Li Kui hurriedly stepped forward and looked up to persuade Lady Lian.
"When a great war comes, who can be innocent? When they seized my Xiaogu City and destroyed my Yi Clan's city, didn't they cheer? My word is law. Children, why aren't you making your move? Don't let my clan's distinguished guests go hungry," Lady Lian shouted.
"I didn't cheer! I love peace and oppose war. When I heard that the Shu tribe had forcibly occupied Xiao Gu City, I cried in anguish! I voluntarily joined the Yi tribe. The Shu tribe is a bunch of insidious, cunning, untrustworthy criminals who deserve to be eaten and exterminated!"
A clever mouse squeaked in alarm.
With a "snap," a large red hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the rat in its palm.
"Then you deserve to die the most! As a member of the Shu clan, you actually betrayed your clan and surrendered to the enemy when the great war came. You are simply a disgrace to the Holy Domain. I will eat you first!"
As Lady Lian spoke, she pulled her large red hand back, taking the rat, whose limbs and tail were wriggling wildly in her palm, into her red body.
She swallowed a mouse the size of an adult, yet her body remained completely unchanged, just like a piece of red jade, still and undisturbed.
"It tastes good, but it's been a long time since I've swallowed something raw, and it makes me feel a little nauseous," Lady Lian said calmly.
Upon seeing this, the warriors of the Yi tribe surrounding Lady Lian immediately swarmed forward, knocking the rats to the ground one by one, stripping them of their clothes, fetching water, and disemboweling them, creating a chaotic scene.
The screams, pleas for mercy, and pleas of the rats, mixed with the shouts of a few brave souls who knew they were doomed, all blended together into a cacophony of curses.
"You can't do this! You can't do this!..." Li Kui jumped up, trying to stop this one and protect that one, but he couldn't stop them at all. He saw rats being overturned one after another, surrounded by a circle of Yi Clan warriors, who were slaughtering them on the spot. He was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
He kept looking up at Lady Lian, wanting to pull out the large axe from his back several times, but he knew that the gap between him and Lady Lian was too great. He was afraid that if he angered this wicked woman, she would eat him up too, which would be really troublesome.
"You, surnamed Wang, you call yourself an immortal? How could you sit idly by and witness such a horrific act? If you're still a member of the investigation team, you'd better stop this tragedy from happening right now!" Li Kui suddenly shouted sternly.
Hearing Li Kui roar, Wang Yao blinked a few times. To be honest, looking at everything on the scene, he couldn't empathize with Li Kui. To him, they were just a bunch of rats, one of the "Four Pests". It was a good thing that Lady Lian and the others were willing to eat them.
This is like seeing a wolf eat a sheep, or a tiger eat a pheasant—it's all natural law, the struggle for survival. What's so strange about that? Didn't Li Kui love to chop people in half with his axe? Why is he acting like a good guy now?
Before he could figure it out, everything went black, and then Li Kui collapsed in front of Wang Yao with a "thud." He had already been grabbed by Lady Lian.
"This immortal is so noisy. Old Man of the Moon, please persuade him. If he continues to disturb my meal here, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it anymore," Lady Lian said calmly.
"Hey Wang, are you...?" Li Kui jumped up and reached out to grab Wang Yao by the collar.
"Master Pudu, come over here and talk to this guy. He seems to have some mental issues," Wang Yao hurriedly called out, trying to be a "good guy" for himself, while dodging Li Kui's hands.
