When they started this line of work, they anticipated that one day they would be caught; so one of their training methods was to endure pain, in case someone was caught and couldn't bear the pain of torture and betrayed their master.
But right now,
Hearing those screams that seemed to come from hell,
The expressions on the faces of these three people changed.
Ji Fengyao only flipped through the recent memories of the person in her hand: this person's identity was very ordinary, just one of the many assassins raised by the Empress Dowager.
Their mission tonight was to come to the Ninth Prince's residence and kill Consort Xiao and her daughter, Liu Yunzhao, to prevent them from surrendering to her and Shang Xiye.
Ji Fengyao withdrew her hand.
The masked man in black who had been detained and had his soul searched by her immediately collapsed to the ground, his body still twitching and making strange "gurgling" sounds from his throat.
No one sympathized with these suicide soldiers who were essentially killing machines.
"Little wife, what do you think? Who are they from?" Shang Xiye's gaze towards Ji Fengyao instantly softened, losing its icy edge.
Ji Fengyao took another damp cloth from Bai Lu's hand, carefully wiping her hands as she said calmly, "Liu Yunzhao, one of the Empress Dowager's people, must have found out something in the palace. She fled to our residence a few days ago. The Empress Dowager knew that she and her daughter were planning to surrender to us, so she sent people to kill Consort Xiao first. It seems that Liu Yunzhao has escaped."
The other three masked men in black kneeling on the ground were shocked, staring in disbelief.
"You...you can actually read other people's memories!"
"A demoness! She must be the legendary demoness!"
"No wonder the Empress Dowager was willing to put justice before family; the Ninth Prince actually colluded with a witch!"
Ji Fengyao was furious. She turned around and kicked the three of them repeatedly, knocking them all to the ground. Then she kicked them a lot more: "Even if I am Nie Xiaoqian, your empress dowager is a ruthless old hag who eats people without spitting out bones. Are you blind or have shit for brains? How dare you open your mouths!"
"Miss, Miss, please calm down," Xique stepped forward to carefully help Ji Fengyao up and persuaded her, saying, "Let me do this rough work of hitting people!"
Seeing that Ji Fengyao was angry, Bai Lu rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, saying, "Yes, Your Highness, please calm down. Don't get sick from anger. These scoundrels who don't know how to behave are fine to be dealt with by me and Sister Xique."
As they spoke, the two girls pushed Ji Fengyao into Shang Xiye's arms;
Magpie: "I want two."
Bai Lu: "Alright then, it wouldn't be bad to give me one to have a go at."
Magpie: "Want a whip?"
Bai Lu: "Yes."
Next, the two girls released the three men in black from their pressure points, and then a flurry of long and short whips flew, making the three men in black roll all over the courtyard.
Wu Ying's lips twitched as he watched, and he nudged Wu Hen with his elbow: "Brother, your wife is really violent, can you handle it?"
Wuhen rolled his eyes and walked away: "Single dog, do you know how good it is to have a wife?"
Wuying pouted and turned to Wushang on the other side, saying, "Luckily, your Princess Heye isn't this type. From now on, your life should be easier than Wuhen's."
Wu Shang said solemnly, "Single dogs, please pay more attention to unmarried girls!"
Shadowless: "...!"
I f*** you!
So what if I'm single!
I don't want to be single either, but I'm helpless because fate hasn't brought me the right person!
Can't we just have a pleasant conversation?!
Seeing Ji Fengyao's flushed face, Shang Xiye reached out and pulled her into his arms, cradling her adorable little face with extreme doting affection.
