An Er, standing in the corner, asked the guard with the best hearing among them.
In fact, they were somewhat provoked yesterday when they saw Xie Datou fighting against Ma Wencai and others.
They had been following the exile group for a while, and when they were free, they had even gesturing with Xie Datou.
Back then, Xie Datou was incredibly strong, but his strength was still far from being beyond the normal range. He was nothing like how terrifying he is now; he could probably kill a tiger with one punch.
And then there's Ma Wencai, who runs faster than a rabbit; they can only see his afterimage.
How could this not make the secret guards envious?
Therefore, as soon as they heard Ma Wencai loudly recounting yesterday's events, the guards, though still doing their own work, had already perked up their ears.
They were so curious!
The guard with the best hearing nodded at them after hearing what An Er said.
"I heard Boss Xu say that it was a perk for her most loyal underling. This reincarnated deity is really something else. Do you think we might get one too?"
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately perked up.
"If that's the case, then as long as we remain loyal to Boss Xu and think only of her, maybe one day we'll wake up and find ourselves even more powerful!"
"Yes, Si Yi is right. I believe Boss Xu will definitely see our efforts!"
The guards encouraged each other, all focused on becoming part of the second batch to receive Xu Jinhuan's benefits.
Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan had already started eating the meal prepared by Liu Dani. She quickly finished the millet porridge in front of her, and then ate the steamed buns and eggs.
She then returned to the corner where she had been sitting, preparing to continue fusing the power of faith.
But just as she sat down, she suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something, and shook her head with a smile.
"How could I forget? Since Heaven can't care about me right now, we should deal with that trouble first."
After saying that, Xu Jinhuan smiled, got up, left the house, and walked towards Xie Guangbai's carriage.
She lifted the carriage curtain and saw Xu Youyou, who looked pale and sickly. Xu Youyou was still unconscious, but because the carriage was not well ventilated, her head was soaked with sweat.
Xu Youyou's clothes hadn't been changed in days, so they were wrinkled and stuck to her body, making it impossible to see their original color. They looked no better than a rag.
Whether she sensed Xu Jinhuan's murderous intent or the effects of the drug wearing off, Xu Youyou slowly opened her eyes.
"Xu... Jin Huan?" Xu Youyou asked in a hoarse voice.
Xu Jinhuan looked at Xu Youyou's disheveled appearance with a smile and said casually, "You're awake? Good, at least you can die knowing who killed you."
Xu Youyou hadn't eaten a proper meal in a while, and she even had great difficulty getting up. Hearing this, she could only speak in a hoarse voice.
"No, Xu Jinhuan, you can't kill me! If you kill me, this world will collapse, and you won't survive either!"
Xu Jinhuan sneered upon hearing this, "You probably haven't noticed, but this world has already begun to collapse. As for the source of this collapse, it's not you, nor me, but the Heavenly Dao."
This was something Xu Jinhuan had been suspecting ever since the mysterious natural disaster began. She had the system's Xiao Wang use his position to search for a lot of related information on the system forum.
Ultimately, they arrived at this unbelievable, yet undeniable, conclusion.
After hearing Xu Jinhuan's words, Xu Youyou, despite her frail body, shook her head violently.
"No, you're lying. This world hasn't collapsed. I am the destined heroine, and I will marry the true emperor and become the empress of a country!"
In the end, Xu Youyou even shouted it out, as if that would increase her persuasiveness.
Xu Jinhuan didn't care about any of that. She sneered, "Let's do an experiment with that so-called destined heroine."
After saying that, she took out a long knife from her spatial storage, grabbed Xu Youyou by the collar, and dragged her out of the carriage.
"Ah! Xu Jinhuan, you've gone mad!"
Xu Youyou was startled by the murderous intent in Xu Jinhuan's eyes. She forcefully slapped Xu Jinhuan's hand that was gripping her collar, wanting him to get away from her.
But Xu Youyou's strength was nothing more than a tickle to Xu Jinhuan. She changed her grip on Xu Youyou's collar to her neck, and said with a smile that didn't betray her true feelings.
"If you move again, I'll send you straight to the King of Hell."
Xu Youyou felt the hand on her neck tightening, as if it really wanted to strangle her to death. Terrified, she immediately withdrew her hand in a panic, "No, I won't move..."
Before she could finish speaking, she fainted.
Xu Jinhuan frowned and gave Xu Youyou a disdainful look. This little body of hers really couldn't take a beating. She hadn't even used much strength yet.
At this moment, Xu Jinhuan had already pulled Xu Youyou off the carriage, and Xie Guangbai also noticed the commotion.
"Master, what's wrong?" He looked at Xu Youyou lying on the ground with a puzzled expression.
Xu Jinhuan said succinctly, "Her death is imminent."
Xie Guangbai's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this. His master had specially prepared a sleeping potion for Xu Youyou's sake, but only half a month later, his master had changed his mind. What had happened?
However, this is also a good thing for him. He can finally avenge his family. He will not let the dog emperor, Xu Youyou, or Lei Tingjun go.
"Master, can I take care of Xu Youyou?" Xie Guangbai volunteered.
Xu Jinhuan nodded noncommittally, "Of course, how do you want to do it?"
Xie Guangbai took out two small white porcelain bottles from his bosom. He abandoned his usual gentle and refined manner and said with a gloomy expression.
"This is a poison I specially prepared for them. It is called 'Dream Death.' Those who are poisoned will experience all kinds of suffering in life before they die, but they will be unable to speak and will be unable to tell anyone."
This is called "death by poisoning." The poisoned person will watch their body rot and decay within a day, finally turning into a pool of pus in agony.
After listening, Xu Jinhuan blinked in surprise. Xie Guangbai was indeed from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners; he could make poison with ease.
"Since you've agreed, go ahead and do it," Xu Jinhuan said to Xie Guangbai.
Xie Guangbai bowed respectfully to Xu Jinhuan, then walked to Xu Youyou's side, and without any gentleness, pried open Xu Youyou's mouth and fed her the two bottles of poison.
The strange smell of the poison forced Xu Youyou to wake up from her unconsciousness, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Xie Guangbai.
I wanted to say something, but all I heard when I opened my mouth was "ah ah ah".
"Huh?" Xu Youyou touched her neck in disbelief, then glared angrily at Xu Jinhuan.
