Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If she did not wake up in the illusion, she would definitely choose to die to exchange for the lives of her family. She would not chicken out.

However, this was an illusion. The empress knew her weakness and built this illusion for her to make her willingly die.

If she died in the illusion, she would never turn to reality. Now, not only would she not choose to die, but she would also save her family from the hands of these brigands.

The brigands brought the Liu family to a wide training ground. Countless brigands held sabers in their hands and formed a circle. The people of the Liu family were pushed around by the brigands and brought to the center of the training ground.

At this moment, Liu Sanniang also saw the chief.

“Chief, we’ve already brought this family over. Are we starting now?”

One of the brigands asked a middle-aged man sitting on the platform.

The middle-aged man had a teasing smile on his face. He waved his hand and nodded. “Start now. I can’t wait to watch a good show.”

Countless brigands cheered for the upcoming show.

The middle-aged man gestured for his subordinates to be quiet and looked at Liu Sanniang. “You’re a filial girl. I wonder how far you’re willing to go for your family.”

Liu Sanniang looked at the middle-aged man calmly and said, “So far that you can’t even imagine.”

The middle-aged man smiled. “In that case, let me see with my own eyes. This game I set up will be divided into three rounds. If you don’t die after three rounds, I’ll let your entire family leave.”

The middle-aged man clapped his hands and got his people to tie the Liu family to the cross.

At the side, a brigand stood there with a dagger.

He threw the dagger in front of Liu Sanniang. The middle-aged man pointed at the dagger and gestured for her to pick it up.

After Liu Sanniang picked up the dagger, the middle-aged man said, “Now, I want to stab your family 30 times each. If you’re willing to bear the pain in their place, you can stab yourself. If you’re unwilling, your family will bear the pain.”

“B*stard, why don’t you just kill us? Sanniang, don’t do what he says!”

Liu Dalang’s face was twisted with anger.

Wasn’t this a game to build happiness on the pain of their family?

How could anyone survive after being stabbed more than 300 times? How painful would it be to be stabbed again and again?

Liu Erlang also said, “Sanniang, don’t listen to his crazy words. We’re not afraid of death.”

After saying that, Liu Erlang said to Ye Niuniu, “Wife, I’m sorry. I’ll repay you in my next life.”

Liu Dalang looked at Tang An guiltily. Tang An smiled. “Dalang, marrying you is the luckiest thing in my life. Let’s continue our fate in our next life.”

Liu Dalang’s eyes turned red and he choked. “Okay.”

Madam Wei cried and could not speak.

It was the same for Mr. Liu.

Ye Niuniu gritted her teeth and shouted, “If our family is going to die, we’ll die together. I’m not afraid. My husband is not afraid, and my son is not afraid. Our entire family is not afraid.”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “What are you talking about? I never wanted your entire family to die.”

What she wanted was for Liu Sanniang to die alone.

She tried her best to build this illusion with one goal in mind, which was to kill Liu Sanniang.

“Liu Sanniang, can you bear to watch your family die in front of you? If you’re willing to bear the pain for them, I can promise you that I’ll send your family out safely.”

The illusion was both real and fake. Everyone in the Liu family was pulled into the illusion by the empress. Whether it was Liu Sanniang or the Liu family, as long as they died in the illusion, they would really be dead.

Liu Sanniang looked at the middle-aged man quietly. Without the restraint of this illusion, in Liu Sanniang’s eyes, the middle-aged man looked like the empress.

Liu Sanniang turned the dagger around in her hand and pointed the hilt at the middle-aged man. She slowly said, “Do you dare to do it yourself?”

“You must take great pleasure in inflicting pain on others. Our life and death are in your hands. Why don’t you come and stab me with a knife to enjoy the pleasure yourself?”

Liu Sanniang looked at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was also looking at her. Then, he walked towards Liu Sanniang and smiled. “You’re different from the ones I’ve seen in the past. You’re more interesting. You’re not like those people who are all afraid of death. At a critical moment, those people will not hesitate to stab their family.”

The middle-aged man looked at the Liu family. “You have raised a good daughter, but unfortunately, the ending won’t change. I’m willing to participate in this game.”

The middle-aged man took the dagger from Liu Sanniang’s hand and sized her up. “Where should I start?”

“Why don’t I destroy your beautiful face with the first stab?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and slashed. A bloody cut was instantly inflicted on Liu Sanniang’s face, and blood instantly flowed out.

Madam Wei felt a suffocating pain in her heart and shouted heart-wrenchingly, “No, come and kill me.”

Liu Sanniang raised her hand and gently wiped the blood off her face, but she could not wipe it away. When she wiped it, blood gushed out again. Looking at the empress in front of her, Liu Sanniang’s eyes revealed a strong hatred.

In Liu Sanniang’s eyes, the empress no longer looked like a middle-aged man. Instead, the empress looked like her real self.

However, the empress was not aware of this. She thought that Liu Sanniang was still trapped in this illusion. She raised her hand and slashed down the other side of Liu Sanniang’s face.

“What women care about the most is their face, but you’re about to die. I don’t think you care about it,” said the empress coldly.

As a woman, jealousy was her nature. She wanted to completely destroy Liu Sanniang. She wanted to destroy this face first before breaking her bones.

Liu Sanniang did not speak. She closed her eyes and heard Madam Wei crying.

She felt pain in many places on her body. Blood slowly flowed out of her body. She could feel the dagger that the empress had stabbed into her body twisting and shattering her flesh.

The empress was too lost in inflicting pain on her enemy that she became careless. Liu Sanniang reached out her hand and pierced five fingers through the empress’s heart, bringing out a beating heart..
