Xie Lingqin watched the two approaching step by step, remaining calm and her face was cold and stern. "If the price of taking another step forward is death—without a complete corpse—are you sure?"
The girl's words were cold and menacing. Although she was lying on the bed, her long hair disheveled and unable to move, she exuded more confidence than someone standing up.
The two men's Adam's apples bobbed, and they exchanged a glance, a hint of wariness in their eyes.
very good!
Xie Lingqin's tone remained unchanged as she continued, "Your palace master brought me here with a grand plan. If you ruin it, do you think..." Xie Lingqin's voice turned cold and venomous, "...would you still be alive?"
Upon hearing this, both men unconsciously took a step back, their lewd expressions softening slightly, though they still couldn't resist trying.
The girl before me was exquisitely beautiful, with a graceful figure and cascading black hair, like a maiden from a painting who had stepped out of distant green mountains...
"Never mind, such beauty is breathtaking. To die beneath a peony is to die a romantic death."
Suddenly, the man from before gritted his teeth and lunged forward...
However, before they could take a step forward, the door was suddenly pushed open, and blood splattered everywhere like a gust of wind.
The man who was to become a ghost, his face filled with terror, collapsed, his eyes wide open in death.
Blood gushed from his neck.
This is a swift and decisive method of murder!
Xie Lingqin slowly turned her head to look at the man who had suddenly appeared in the room.
Dressed in red, with long eyebrows that reached her temples and a red dot between them, she possessed a wild and alluring beauty, stunningly beautiful...
Terrifying!
Xie Lingqin's breath hitched. If Yuwen Yao was as handsome and profound as a high mountain covered in snow, then the one before her was a dazzling and enchanting beauty that made the world pale in comparison.
In the man's hand, he held only a single gold leaf.
A single leaf can take a life in an instant, and he, seemingly smiling with a playful and seductive air, clearly harbors extreme indifference and sorrow in his eyes, regarding all things as mere weeds.
“Your...Your Highness.” Another man, whose clothes were almost completely removed, looked at his companion’s corpse on the ground, then at the man in red, his face filled with terror and his teeth chattering.
He knelt down with a thud, crying, "Lord, spare me! Lord, spare me!"
"Spare me?" The man murmured these two words with amusement, the golden leaf in his hand seemingly scraping across an arc, as if he didn't know how to use it.
Then, another corpse was found inside the house.
This method of murder...
Even Xie Lingqin felt ashamed.
This person is almost comparable to the Crown Prince.
Of course, the crown prince wasn't that cruel; he was just indifferent.
"Beauty?" The man in red casually tossed the gold leaf aside before taking a step forward to look at Xie Lingqin, who was lying motionless on the bed.
The word "beautiful one" is like calling out to a deeply affectionate lover.
She clearly has double eyelids, but when she smiles, they narrow into a thin line, and at that moment, her smile is as gentle as a lake in spring.
"Are you the Lord of the Underworld?" Xie Lingqin asked calmly.
Regardless, she is currently unable to move, so it might be better to ask her something useful.
"Oh, so this beauty is already thinking about marriage with me and has started asking about my identity?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's breath hitched.
Because the man who was just a few steps away from the bed was now standing by the bed in the blink of an eye. His bewitching face, almost androgynous, was only half a fist away from her. His thick eyelashes covered his half-closed eyes, and a touch of crimson between his brows made him look like an evil spirit crawling out of hell.
but……
Her breath smells like orchids!
When they tease someone, they are always so cold and desolate.
Even though the room was filled with the stench of blood, he remained unfazed, as if he were strolling amidst flowing flowers.
"Will you kill me?" Xie Lingqin asked first, calming her breathing.
"Hmm?" The man in red seemed somewhat surprised and carefully scanned Xie Lingqin's face again.
That gaze...
It's like sizing up a product you're about to bid on.
“Your features are truly impeccable. If… the other party is satisfied, you might not die. Of course…” the man in red said as he stood up, “Of course, whether you live or die in the end, I don’t know.”
That innocent tone, those absolutely emotionless words…
Xie Lingqin took another gentle breath.
"However, these eyes are truly beautiful." The man suddenly moved closer to Xie Lingqin, his lips, which were even redder than those of an ordinary man, moving slightly. "I wonder what would happen if we dug them out and steamed them?"
Xie Lingqin's eyes were fixed, and her brow twitched slightly.
“Or, stir-fry? Hmm…” The man in red shook his head again, as if talking to himself. After a moment, he sighed, “It seems neither is quite right.” Then, he got up and left.
From beginning to end, it seemed that his world consisted only of himself.
Then, two guards came in and dragged the body from the ground inside, followed closely by two maids who silently cleaned up the bloodstains splattered on the floor and bedposts.
His expression and demeanor suggested that he had become accustomed to this matter.
Xie Lingqin closed her eyes only after the carved mahogany door slowly closed.
Judging from what the man in red said, he was going to give her to someone, so he wouldn't kill her. As for whether the person who would receive her would kill her, that remains to be seen.
But if he really is the master of the Yama King's Palace, then who would he be the one to send gifts to?
Could it be the Heavenly Secrets Hall?
The world is divided into two palaces. If the Yama Palace is hell, then the Tianji Palace is heaven.
Of course, it's not actually heaven.
It is said that the Heavenly Secrets Palace knows all the secrets of the world, including those of the royal families of the Northern Rong, Western Xia, Southern Qi, and even the barbarian tribes.
