"If you are willing to obey, I may consider not killing you." Lin Chu flicked the ash on his nails and spoke calmly.
"Ah."
The woman lowered her head and tugged at the corners of her lips before intending to bite her tongue. However, the muscles around her lips suddenly stiffened and she stared at Lin Chu as if she had seen a ghost.
Just now, Lin Chu flicked her fingers, and a monotonous syllable burst out from her fingertips. However, she suddenly felt a cramping pain in her stomach. Huo exhaled in cold sweat all over her body. If she couldn't muster any more strength, committing suicide became a luxury.
Lin Chu looked at her condescendingly, with a cold look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"The life and death Gu has one advantage. It's worse to die than to live, but you can still live in death!"
A simple sentence will make it impossible for you to live or die!
The woman's body trembled, and her clothes were soaked in sweat.
Even if the heat wave is surging beside the hot spring pool, it can't stop the coldness that penetrates your bones.
Living is difficult, but even death...is so difficult!
Lin Chu said nothing and walked directly to the small table by the pool, took the fruit on the desk and ate it slowly.
This is a game, and it's about patience.
Whoever can't stand it first will lose!
And she was determined that the woman in front of her could not afford to lose!
"No one in the world can disobey the Lord of Lingxi Palace!" The woman's lips moved for a long time, and she slowly said something irrelevant, with a frightened and unclear pleading in her eyes.
Lin Chu's chewing movement was half a beat slow. When did the Eastern Tang Dynasty have a Lingxi Princess? Was it the daughter of the wife of the bad-tempered emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty?
"Don't judge others by your mediocrity." Lin Chu said calmly: "I don't know the consequences of disobeying your princess. But if you disobey me, I will make you regret your life."
The woman took a breath and slowly lowered her eyelashes: "I... don't want to die."
Lin Chu curled his lips in satisfaction: "This is so good."
"I have a few questions to ask you. Answer them honestly. You won't be disappointed."
Lin Chu slowly raised his head and half-browed his eyes. The frost in his eyes was like ice that never melts: "Who are you? Where am I? What are you going to do?"
"You actually...don't know why?"
The woman's eyes widened with disbelief on her face. Her lips were wide enough to fit an egg into her mouth.
Lin Chu narrowed his eyes: "Answer!"
The pressure that suddenly burst out around her was overwhelming, and the forced woman had difficulty even breathing. She felt as if an ice pick had been stuffed into her heart, a hard and sharp cold!
She swallowed her saliva: "This is the Golden Rock Peak of Qingyang Mountain, and I am the maidservant of Lord Lingxi Palace. Every time before winter, it is the day when our Lord of the Palace chooses a husband."
Every……
The corner of Lin Chu's mouth twitched uncontrollably. The master of Lingxi Palace was very busy.
Therefore, Fatty Hong Gu and others kidnapped the passing men in Qingyang Mountain in order to sell them to Princess Lingxi and make some dirty money.
"Have any officers and soldiers entered the mountain recently?"
The woman chuckled softly: "We at Jinyan Peak and the government have never violated the river. How could they come here to humiliate themselves?"
Lin Chu looked sideways. In the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the princess and the government were so at odds with each other? It was... quite strange.
"Your princess is so..." Lin Chu thought for a long time before finding the right words: "You are so tough, do you, the Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, not care?"
"Why does the Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty care?" the woman was stunned.
"Which of your princesses is his daughter?"
"None of them." The woman shook her head seriously: "Our palace owner is the owner of Lingxi Palace in Jinyan Peak. What does it have to do with the Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty?"
Lin Chu suddenly realized that this palace owner was not that princess! This was... embarrassing.
She coughed slightly and changed the subject: "I heard that there were heavy rains in the past few days, and the rocks in Qingyang Mountain collapsed and washed away the farmland of the villages below the mountain. The government sent many people over to eliminate the danger."
"How is that possible!" The woman frowned: "There has been no rainfall in Qingyang Mountain for several days."
