Feng Zhen knew that he couldn't change Jiang Pengji's mind, so he said helplessly, "I've heard that demons are also a type of living creature. She's targeted you multiple times. Perhaps there's some kind of entanglement that no one else knows about. My lord, should we send someone to investigate so that we can learn more about ourselves and our enemy? "
Jiang Pengji tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her right hand to hide the black marks.
As she wrapped it around her hand, she said, "There's no need. It's just a ghost. Why would we need to mobilize so many people? It's not like I have too much time on my hands to waste my energy on investigating someone like this. If she's not afraid of death, she can come at us. I guarantee that she won't be able to return. "
Her time was precious. It was already good enough that she could spare some time to deal with the transmigrator woman. How could she possibly spare any time to deal with her?
If the transmigrator woman continued to work hard, she would be in the mood to keep her company.
Feng Zhen laughed bitterly. His lord's combat ability was already comparable to that of a ghost. Ordinary warriors could only look up to her.
"If we leave just like that, what should we do with that demon's corpse?"
Feng Zhen frowned when he heard the commotion coming from the second floor.
Most of the houses were made of wood. If the demon's corpse was allowed to burn, the entire building might be affected.
Jiang Pengji's answer dispelled his worries. "It's fine. My opponent and I are fighting already. Someone outside heard the commotion and rushed over. Furthermore, that person's corpse was placed in an open space. The fire won't spread for a while, so it won't be a big deal. "
Just as Jiang Pengji predicted, people quickly came in with basins of water and drenched the entire room.
When the fire was extinguished, they finally found a skeleton from the messy scene of the fire. Seeing the charred skeleton lying on the ground, the group carefully examined the black accessories beside the body. They confirmed that the person who was burned was Huan Er, and they were all horrified.
Tonight was supposed to be the wedding night of a beautiful couple. How could a fire break out without a sound and burn such a beautiful woman to death?
In an instant, the entire brothel was filled with an aura of fear. Everyone was panicking.
"Report to the authorities! Report to the authorities right now! Someone's dead! "
"Who exactly caused the death of Huan 'er's wife? How utterly devoid of conscience!"
"Beautiful women are unfortunate. I don't know which bastard would be so ruthless to even lay his hands on such a peerless beauty."
The sounds of discussion continued. The onlookers gathered outside the boudoir and craned their necks to look inside. They could barely see the messy scene after the fire. It was a horrifying sight. Many of the guests recalled Lady Huan 'er's heavenly beauty and sighed inwardly. If Lady Huan 'er had chosen them as her husband tonight, they would not have mistreated her, nor would they have allowed her to die.
However, no matter how much of a pity they felt, such a peerless beauty had already perished beyond the heavens and would be hard to find again.
They all agreed that Huan 'er's husband, Feng Zhen, had killed her.
No matter how hard the crowd searched, it was as if Feng Zhen and his group had vanished from the face of the earth.
At this time, a strange cold wind blew in the brothel, causing everyone's clothes to flutter, and they almost couldn't open their eyes.
"Ah! Monster!"
"Monster —"
"There's a monster!"
A shrill and terrified scream came from the second floor. The brothel keeper ran over with her thugs, and when she saw clearly, she was so shocked that she fell to the ground.
The skeleton that had been burnt to a pitch-black skeleton actually stood up shakily. The dirty color faded from the pitch-black bones and was quickly replaced by clean, bright red muscles and nerves. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the dried corpse actually recovered its flesh and blood!
Its skin was transparent, and the flowing blood vessels and beating heart could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
After another breath's time, the transparent skin became tender and snow-white again.
Before the crowd could recover from their shock, the corpse had turned from a skeleton into a living, naked beauty.
Her hair was as black as a cloud, and other than her hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows, her body was completely bare. Not a single strand of hair could be seen on her body. Her skin was white and translucent, like a beautiful piece of jade. She was so gentle and delicate that people couldn't bear to put their hands on her.
Unfortunately, in the face of such a heavenly beauty, the onlookers who witnessed the entire process couldn't muster up any romantic thoughts.
"Monster!"
Someone took a few steps back in fear, and then sat on the ground on his butt. A foul smell came from his crotch, and the wet urine was everywhere.
Suddenly, the "monster" opened her eyes.
The crowd didn't dare to look her in the eye, and started to run away in a panic. Those who didn't run were mostly too scared to run.
Seeing this, the "monster" sneered coldly, "Cowards!"
With a wave of her hand, she tore off the tattered cloth that hadn't been completely burnt, and used it to cover her private parts. Then, she jumped through the window and disappeared.
"Monster — monster!"
Seeing this, the brothel keeper was so scared that her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
On the other side, the time-traveler who was mistaken by the crowd as the "monster" hid in a safe place and changed into a red dress.
She asked the System excitedly in her mind, "Did Liu Xi really get hit by the [Level 9 Loyalty Talisman]?"
The System suppressed its excitement and replied, "Reporting to the Host, Liu Xi was indeed hit by the [Level 9 Loyalty Talisman], and the talisman has already taken effect."
Once again, the time-traveler received a positive answer, and her heart was in turmoil.
She had no choice but to be excited. She had fallen into Jiang Pengji's hands so many times, and this time, she had finally made a comeback.
She was in such a good mood that she didn't even feel bad about the debt of two billion dollars.
Jiang Pengji had burned her body, and if the System wanted to repair this body, it would have to pay more popularity points.
The System was a profiteer who demanded an exorbitant price of two billion dollars, and the time-traveler could only pinch her nose and accept it.
If it was in the past, she would have exploded in anger.
But now?
She had never felt so happy in her life. Even the profiteer, the System, found her pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Pengji was hit by the [Level 9 Loyalty Talisman], and she would become the most obedient puppet and lackey. She would no longer be a hindrance to them.
"I'll go find Liu Xi now!"
The time-traveler secretly gritted her teeth, and her eyes were filled with malice.
"Not now, it'll take some time." The system stopped her, lest the time-traveler girl court death again. The system explained, "The [Level 9 Loyalty Talisman] invades a person's brain on a spiritual level. The stronger the person's spirit is, the greater the resistance. Liu Xi's spirit is very strong, and he's not easy to control. We'll wait for a while, and when the [Level 9 Loyalty Talisman] has the upper hand, then we'll make our move. If we appear now, it's hard to guarantee that Liu Xi won't play dirty … such as harming you while you're still conscious. "
After listening to the System's explanation, the time-traveler finally suppressed her restless heart.
She said, "Alright, a little impatience spoils great plans. I'll bear with it."
