How could his face not turn green?
How could a person who had been dismembered by his lord appear here as a prostitute in a brothel? It was like a ghost story.
"Is this woman a ghost?"
Feng Zhen recalled the encounter just now and felt goosebumps all over his body.
"She's a living person, but she has some ghostly abilities. Even after death, she can come back to life. Why are you so afraid?"
What did she mean by "even after death, she can come back to life"? Coming back to life was already strange enough, let alone coming back to life after being dismembered.
Feng Zhen didn't know what to say. His lord was so tough, but he was different. He was a coward!
My lord, you're such a good lord!
"My lord, you must be joking. I'm just a mortal, how could I not be afraid?"
He had lived for almost 30 years, and this was his first time seeing a demon. It was already a miracle that he didn't lose his soul in fear.
"You're afraid too? I really can't tell. If it weren't for me keeping an eye on you, perhaps you would've already fallen in love with her and forgotten yourself. " Jiang Pengji stared at Huan'er's movements as she teased Feng Zhen. His face looked like it had been painted green.
Thinking about that demon begging in his arms, Feng Zhen felt his stomach churn and he almost vomited.
On the other side, Huan'er glared at Jiang Pengji with hatred in her eyes.
"Liu Xi, one day, I will tear you to pieces!"
Jiang Pengji chuckled. "You said 'one day,' but it won't be today."
Faced with such mockery, Huan'er's face turned green.
Her previous three experiences told her that Jiang Pengji's combat ability was terrifying. She had no chance of escaping.
Should she use the Death Escape again?
The pain before death surfaced in her mind, and her body subconsciously shivered.
If not for the System's insistence, she wouldn't even want to appear in front of Jiang Pengji.
She asked the System with a guarded expression, but her heart trembled.
"System, give me an idea. Do you want me to die?"
The System wanted to play dead and not answer, but it reluctantly said, "Liu Xi is strong, but Feng Zhen is different. If death is certain, you can consider using Feng Zhen to restrain Liu Xi. If that doesn't work, you can still put the Level Nine Loyalty Talisman into Feng Zhen's body. The Rank-9 Loyalty Talisman only costs 25 million popularity points, but you'll need a billion or more to revive once. "
Every time she revived, she would need to borrow at least 100,000 popularity points. That was enough for her to buy 40 Grade 9 Loyalty Talismans.
Thinking of this debt, Lady Huan 'er's face turned ashen.
She had died several times before because of the high price of the Ninth-Grade Loyalty Talisman. Instead, she had paid the price of death.
If he had known this earlier, he would have used a few more ninth-grade loyalty talismans. Perhaps his situation would have been much better than it was now.
"What is this?"
Jiang Pengji frowned. She noticed that there was a strange layer of mental energy in Huan 'er's hands.
"I'll make you the most obedient lackey!"
For safety reasons, she even bought a few [Life Substitution Puppet] cards from the system.
This thing was very useful. If it weren't for the help of the Life Substitution Puppet card, she would have been assassinated by Xie Qian.
As she finished speaking, Huan 'er didn't care that her clothes were half-undone. In a flash, she approached Jiang Pengji.
Under Feng Zhen's horrified gaze, Huan 'er's ten fingernails eerily elongated until they were three inches long. They were silvery-white and extremely sharp. With a wave of her hand, ten silvery-white shadows were left in the air. The sight of them made people tremble and panic.
Jiang Pengji was already familiar with her routine.
She was about to kill him, but the attack that was supposed to land on a fatal spot deviated strangely.
Huan 'er's heart went cold. Jiang Pengji had crushed a [Life Substitution Puppet] with her bare hands.
The system instructed in her mind, "Draw Liu Xi's attention away first, then focus on Feng Zhen. He won't be able to react in time."
Huan 'er cursed under her breath.
She knew what to do. What was the point of the system's advice now?
Feng Zhen secretly wiped his sweat as he retreated from the battlefield.
He could tell that if he continued to stay there, he would only cause trouble for his lord. It was better to leave so that she wouldn't have to restrain herself.
Seeing that the last [Life Substitution Puppet] had been destroyed, Huan 'er suddenly twisted her body. She was supposed to be charging at Jiang Pengji, but now she was charging at Feng Zhen. Her movements were as swift as lightning. Jiang Pengji had anticipated this. She moved in front of her and blocked the attack.
Unexpectedly, the attack didn't hurt. Her right arm was just a little numb.
Jiang Pengji wasn't the only one who was shocked. Huan 'er's expression changed from shock to ecstasy.
But her joy didn't last long. Her left chest was pierced through by a hand from front to back. Her eyes quickly dimmed.
Feng Zhen scrambled to his feet. "My … my lord …"
"Bring the lamp over."
Feng Zhen did as he was told. He fetched the undamaged candle and handed it to Jiang Pengji. He watched helplessly as his lord dripped oil on the corpse, covered it with a few flammable cloths, poured oil on the cloths, and finally lit them on fire … Was this the rhythm of burning the corpse?
"This demon … is completely dead?"
"The last time we dismembered her body, someone even fed her body to the wolves. Not even her bones were left, but didn't she come back to life in the end?"
Feng Zhen shuddered when he heard this.
"Let's go back first. I'll tell you in detail later."
Seeing that the corpse was already burning, Jiang Pengji carried Feng Zhen and jumped down from the second floor through the window. She picked a quiet room.
"… Just now, that demon seemed to have hit my lord's arm with something …"
Feng Zhen recalled Huan 'er's words about turning you into the most obedient dog. He felt a little uneasy.
"I was indeed hit. That thing should be a spiritual mark that can forcibly control a person's soul … You won't understand even if I tell you. All you need to know is that once you're hit by it, you'll become an obedient puppet … Tsk, it looks so ugly …"
Jiang Pengji pulled up the sleeve of her right arm. There was a large, strange, black mark on her fair arm.
"My lord …"
Jiang Pengji snickered. "I got hit on purpose. Why are you panicking?"
When she finished speaking, the black mark on Jiang Pengji's arm seemed to come to life. It scrambled to the back of her hand and palm.
Inexplicably, Feng Zhen felt a sense of pitifulness.
"On purpose?"
"Including this time, I've killed her four times. The demon's target is me, but she's too stupid and fell into my hands four times in a row. Now she's become smarter and knows to target the people around me. I can guarantee that she can't hurt me, but I can't guarantee that she won't seize the opportunity to hurt the people around me … I've stopped playing with this thing a long time ago. I can't believe she still treats it like a treasure. "
Feng Zhen fell silent.
"Even so, it's not enough for my lord to personally take the risk …"
Jiang Pengji lifted her eyelids lazily. "Only when I 'fall for it' will she continue to target me and attack for the fifth time. If she returns without success this time, she'll only go into hiding and plot something else. This time it's you. Who will it be next time? I can defend myself once, but I can't defend myself a second or third time. Rather than that, it's better for her to continue targeting me and kill me every time she attacks! "
There was one more thing she didn't say.
Not only was she worried that the time-traveler would target her subordinates, but she was even more worried that the time-traveler would hide away.
