Chapter 58: Blood Feast Canyon
Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress
Han Moxi and other noble officials looked back and couldnât help but laugh in secret. The Third Princess really was extremely unruly!
They truly had no idea how the Emperor of Nanli raised her!
Han Moze furrowed his brows in curiosity. He turned his head and shot a glance back at Ouyang Yaoyi, then scoffed coldly in annoyance.
The word âMoronâ was a good match for the Third Princess!
...
It took Liu Rushuang and QingâEr two days to reach the centre of a wide canyon in North Nanli.
There were cliffs all around the canyon with all kinds of trees and animals on the clifftops.
But besides these, there were also enchanted diversionary circles all around the canyon.
The average person definitely couldnât simply enter!
Liu Rushuang and QingâEr entered through the secret passageways, avoided various kinds of secret traps, and into the canyons.
Besides a few houses, all the other areas were training grounds.
There were many people dressed in black with embroidered Datura flowers, competing in martial arts, archery, and horse racing...
Most people were orphans with only one objective â to complete their missions.
Liu Rushuang looked over at the people in training and reminisced.
She was originally an assassin in her past life, so she left the monastery at five years old just to find this place. However, at the time, this place was impossible for her to find.
One evening, she stopped a silver masked assassin and told him that she wanted to be an assassin.
That person clearly was unwilling to do so, so she quickly rushed over to that man dressed in black and hugged his legs.
No matter how he kicked her, she never let go.
Finally, that person couldnât stand it anymore and carried her to the headquarters of Blood Feast.
âWelcome back, milady,â said the four men dressed in black respectfully.
âRise,â said Liu Rushuang with a cold voice. She had a leaderâs air of prestige all around her.
She became the new appointed leader, after she passed all kinds of tests two years ago and defeated the previous leader.
As the leader, she could mobilise every person here at will.
âTake me to the dungeons,â she immediately ordered.
âYes, milady,â replied the man dressed in black respectfully.
âYoung Miss, why do you want to go to the dungeons?â Asked QingâEr.
Liu Rushuang grinned, as her eyes unleashed a murderous aura from her eyes. With one glance at QingâEr, she smiled wickedly and said, âYouâll know when we get there.â
âOk,â QiingâEr giggled in response and followed her.
She figured that there most probably were people from the Ministerâs manor locked up there!
When the dungeon gates opened, there were traces of blood everywhere and many assassins receiving punishment for having failed to complete their missions.
As they reached the very end, they saw Madam Liu and Mama Zhao locked up in a cell.
The two of them were filthy as can be and asleep on a bed of hay.
âYoung Miss, when did you capture them here? This is great!â Exclaimed QingâEr in joy when she saw the people in the cell.
The two of them often thought of ways to bully the Young Miss, so she wanted to get revenge ages ago.
Madam Liu heard QingâErâs voice and immediately sat up, crawled up to the cell gates, and yelled angrily. âWench! You dare treat me like this? By doing this, arenât you afraid the minister will bring you to justice? ... No... It should be dismemberment!â
Liu Rushuangâs gaze was serene but as cold as ice when she looked at the flustered and hate-filled expressions on their faces. Then, she pulled a wicked smile. This was exactly the result she wanted.
âBring them out!â Cried Liu Rushuang emotionlessly.
âW-wâwhat are you doing?â Said Madam Liu who stubbornly tried to stay calm.
Behind her, Mama Zhaoâs whole body was already trembling in fear.
What should she do? She was just a servant without any background at all.
Liu Rushuang didnât bother with Madam Liuâs question, but turned around, walked to the lobby where they interrogated prisoners and sat on the seat of honour.
