Warlord Xun almost laughed after hearing this disrespect . They actually dared to rob a warlord’s residence? If it weren’t for the fact that the person in front of him didn’t look delirious, Warlord Xun would probably have suspected that she was suffering from hysteria .
“How should I address you? If you need travel expenses, as long as you ask, I still might provide you with some . There’s no need for you to crack such a joke,” said Warlord Xun while still sounding calm . After all, he had seen all sorts of people and wasn’t easily agitated .
“Rob and steal your money or die . ”
The empress remained unmoved . She didn’t even have a good impression of these remnant citizens of the Hao Nation . Instead, she was very disgusted . If it weren’t for the original agreement, she would have already killed these people . At the moment, just taking his money and sparing his life was already a great gift to him . Upon hearing what she said, the warlord’s face turned pale . He was already speaking in a nice manner . Did the other party think that he, the warlord of Longshou City, was a good target to bully?
“This lunatic dares to spout nonsense over here . ” Before the warlord could even speak, his subordinates couldn’t stand it any longer .
The empress’s figure flashed past .
Pow! The person who spoke suddenly spurted blood from their seven apertures and softly fell to the ground . Nobody would have expected that when she said she was going to take action, she really would do so . This unforeseen event caused everyone to be taken aback, and they furiously got up from their seats and wanted to pull out their weapons .
“Spirit Wheel… Everyone, stop . ” At the next instant, Warlord Xun realized how strong the other party was . He wasn’t able to react to her speed . Apart from a Spirit Wheel expert, nobody else would be able to do such a thing .
After he said this sentence, everyone froze as beads of perspiration trickled down their foreheads .
How could she be a Spirit Wheel expert? This woman was actually a Spirit Wheel expert?
“Senior…” Warlord Xun got up and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll definitely do my best to obtain whatever senior needs . ”
Ultimately, he still didn’t believe that a Spirit Wheel expert would run into his residence just to commit robbery .
What was the identity of a Spirit Wheel expert? Tianjing Basin had a population of ten million people, but there were only 13 famous Spirit Wheel experts . This was due to the fact that the lifespan of a Spirit Wheel expert exceeded that of an ordinary person .
Regardless of where a Spirit Wheel expert went, he or she would be treated like one’s ancestors .
There wasn’t a need for a Spirit Wheel expert to rob!
“Gold!” The empress didn’t know about psychological warfare . Her objective was very clear-cut .
“You, get someone to bring all the gold in the treasury here . ” Warlord Xun didn’t expect that the other party really wanted money . However, his reaction was quick, and he immediately instructed the frozen servant at the side . This servant had been rooted in place ever since the empress spoke her first sentence . Upon hearing the warlord’s command, he immediately scrambled to his feet and ran outside . The empress wasn’t worried about them playing any tricks because this was something that could be settled by a simple slap . Those guys wouldn’t be able to raise a ruckus in front of her .
“Senior, please wait a moment . ” Warlord Xun cupped his hands in obeisance .
The empress ignored him . Subsequently, the room quieted down . Everyone kept quiet out of fear because they were afraid that they would provoke the woman in front of them .
It was obvious that she wasn’t a good tempered person .
“Warlord, some people broke into the residence…”
Warlord Xun looked blankly at the guard who rushed in to inform him and quickly waved the guard off .
“Take your leave, and inform everyone to resume their duties . It’s a senior who broke in . ”
After waiting for about 20 minutes, heavy footsteps could be heard from outside . Several people moved four boxes into the hall and placed them on the ground .
Warlord Xun took a few steps forward and opened the boxes . Among the four boxes, three of them were filled with gold ingots, while the last box was filled with all kinds of jewelry .
Thereafter, he obediently stood at the side and said, “Senior, everything’s here . ”
The empress tilted her head . Immediately, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan went forward and stuffed some gold ingots from the box into a wrapping cloth . Then, they set their gaze on the jewelry .
This jewelry was beautifully crafted . Some of them were embedded with gems, causing both Qing Yuan and Hong Luan to become even more excited . One of them filled the wrapping cloth to its brim before stopping .
The empress stared hard at the warlord . If he hadn’t replied to her in the correct way just now, she probably would have killed him with one swat . She didn’t expect that he would be quick-witted, but she let him keep his life as a result . The empress’s stare made the warlord sweat, and he was drenched in his own perspiration . However, he didn’t dare to move a single bit .
The empress kept silent, turned around, and left the house . Qing Yuan and Hong Luan hurriedly caught up with her as the things in their bags rattled while they walked .
“Phew!” Once the empress left the courtyard, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and sat in the chairs .
“That person was young, beautiful, and dressed in red . It can’t be… Oh!” One of them spoke halfway, then everyone else’s expressions changed drastically . They hurriedly covered his mouth .
“Don’t drag us down even if you want to die!” the person next to him whispered .
From that lady’s outstanding appearance, young age, and wardrobe style, not only did he guess her identity, but everyone else guessed it too . Yet, nobody dared to say anything .
If they said something and it was heard by that person, perhaps no one here would be able to survive .
That person shouldn’t have even appeared here at all . If the news of her appearance spread, it would definitely create a huge ruckus .
The entire Tianjing Basin would take action upon hearing this news .
Although no one knew why was she here, it was a fact that she had shown herself . Furthermore, she was most likely the same person that everyone was thinking of in their minds .
“A crisis is going to occur!” More than one person revealed such thoughts . Moments later, everyone was finally at ease after realizing that the woman didn’t return .
The man who was called Mister Fang got up and said, “Warlord Xun, I’ll take my leave . ”
He had to bring this piece of news back immediately .
Warlord Xun also had no intentions of keeping him here . He was dumbfounded now . Why did Qi Zixiao come?
Even though everyone had been mulling over how to start a revolt on a daily basis, in the event that they really met Qi Zixiao, nobody wouldn’t be terrified .
…
“Miss, where are we heading to now?” After they left the warlord’s residence, Qing Yuan and Hong Luan asked this because they were starving .
“Eat,” the empress said indifferently .
Both Qing Yuan and Hong Luan looked at each other . Their eyes were filled with happiness .
After finding a restaurant, the trio sat in a private room . Qing Yuan and Hong Luan then opened the wrapping cloth and laid out all the gold and jewelry .
“Miss, take a look . This bracelet is embedded with nine rubies and is the best fit for you . ””This necklace is pretty good too . ”
While the both of them were chattering away, the empress was looking out the window at the pedestrians on the streets .
Upon finishing their dinner, the three of them randomly found an inn to stay for the night .
After arranging a room for Qi Zixiao and her two servants to sleep in, the lady boss of the inn looked in their room’s direction and gently trembled .
If anyone saw her now, they would definitely be frightened by her expression . Her eyes were shining while the corners of her mouth were drawn back at an angle that wasn’t humanly possible .
“Perfect . I have never seen such a beautiful person before . I really want to peel her skin and turn her into a human puppet… I am so excited . I can’t help but drool when I think of collecting such a beautiful human puppet…”After standing behind the counter for a long time, she finally made a cup of tea and added something to it . After that, she swayed gently with every step she took as she moved toward the room on the second floor .
“Distinguished guests, would all of you like some tea? This tea is made from premium tea leaves that I have collected myself…”
The empress took a sip from the sorghum wine bottle and said, “Leave . Don’t bother us if I don’t instruct you to . ”
Behind the door, the lady boss’s face became warped . In no time, a distorted smile emerged on her face as well .
