Chapter 113 The Turbulent Times in the Locked Room End, the Mad Doctor and Poison Master Forcefully Takes Over the Remnants
Inside the sealed room, the air seemed to freeze with fear. The members of the mysterious group lay sprawled on the floor like wilted eggplants, utterly disheveled. Luo Qingci, dressed in a sleek and powerful outfit, stood with her arms crossed amidst the defeated, like a vengeful goddess descended from the darkness, radiating a chilling aura. She coldly surveyed the scene before her, a wicked smile playing on her lips, thinking to herself, "You think you can let me off so easily? You're dreaming! Today I'll show you that offending me is worse than being bitten by a hundred poisonous spiders!"
With elegant yet flamboyant steps, she crouched low and slowly swayed towards the thin, black-clad figure who had previously tried to ambush her. She extended a slender index finger that seemed to contain boundless power and gently lifted the black-clad figure's chin, as if she were fiddling with a worthless trinket. A mischievous smile played on her lips, a cunning glint in her eyes like that of a sly fox who had just gotten away with stealing a treat. She sneered, "Oh ho, you poor thing, you were really bold enough to provoke me, daring to ambush your auntie? What, do you think I look like an easy target? Or did you get your head stuck in a door and want to experience what despair feels like?" As she spoke, she deliberately leaned closer to the man in black, lowering her voice to a whisper like a demon from the deepest hell: "Listen carefully, tell me the location of every single treasure of the Mysterious Group, down to the last nook and cranny. If I'm in a good mood, I might even grant you a whole corpse and let you die a quick death. But if you dare to play any tricks, I'll..." "Get into my specially made itching potion, then throw in hundreds of ants, so you'll itch so badly you'll want to peel your skin off layer by layer. Then sprinkle some salt on it, and you'll experience what 'hell on earth' truly means!" The man in black was so frightened that his face turned as white as paper, completely bloodless. He seemed to have lost his spine, limp and weak, nodding frantically and stammering, "Aunt... Aunt, I'll talk, I'll talk! In... in the cave in Black Wind Ridge, there's a chest of gold and silver treasures, and a mysterious martial arts manual. It's said that if you practice it, you can dominate the martial arts world... That manual is incredibly powerful. Whoever gets it..." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Luo Qingci out of the corner of his eye. His eyes were filled with fear and despair, as if he were looking at a demon from the depths of hell.
Then, she turned and strode confidently toward the burly man in black who had just fallen flat on his face. She paced slowly around him, shaking her head and clicking her tongue as if appraising a rare exhibit: "Tsk tsk tsk, with skills like that, it's a waste not to be on a comedy talent show! That face-plant just now almost made my stomach burst from laughing, my abs almost popped out. Since you're so 'amazing,' you'll be my errand boy from now on. If you dare slack off, I'll braid your beard into pigtails and take you for a stroll down the street, making you a legend in the martial arts world." "The most dazzling 'oddball' on the street, guaranteed to attract more attention than those street performers!" Upon hearing this, the man in black's face instantly scrunched up like a wrinkled bun, his features almost twisted into a knot. With a mournful face, he pitifully said, "Grandma, I promise I'll work hard, please don't treat me like this! I have an eighty-year-old father at home who looks forward to me coming back every day to massage his back." As he spoke, he secretly wiped away a tear. Anyone who saw him couldn't help but laugh; he looked exactly like a pitiful little bullied person.
Meanwhile, the masked man in the corner, like a timid little mouse hiding its head and tail, was secretly plotting his next move: "This girl is incredibly powerful, but if I can find a chance to steal her medicine pouch, I might be able to turn my life around. Not only can I escape her control, but I can also pocket all this treasure. Then I'll be the new overlord of this martial world..." Thinking this, his eyes darted around like two restless black marbles, cautiously observing Luo Qingci's every move, his gaze flashing with greed and resentment. But his little schemes were completely exposed to Luo Qingci's sharp eyes. She whirled around, a half-smile playing on her lips, a smile as chilling as the winter wind, piercing to the bone, as if she could see right through his every thought: "Hey, what are you sneaking around thinking about? Not planning to slip away again, are you? What, do you think I haven't treated you well enough, or do you think you can escape my grasp?" The man in the golden mask trembled, as if struck by lightning, waving his hands frantically, his voice trembling: "No...no, Grandma, my leg just went numb, I was just moving it. I'm absolutely loyal to you, as the sun and moon can bear witness! If I were disloyal, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death..." As he spoke, he quietly backed away, trying to hide his panic and his unrealistic fantasies.
Luo Qingci snorted coldly, her voice seemingly able to penetrate the walls. She strode up to him, hands on her hips, her aura menacing, like a volcano about to erupt: "Hmph, I see you're just restless! What, still not giving up? Fine, you like wearing masks, don't you? I'll make you a special one, covered in incredibly sharp barbs, with several high-decibel alarms and a tracker. Once you put it on, I guarantee your face will be covered in bruises; if you dare to run, the alarm will go off, and I can drag you back in a second, making you a unique 'moving live target' in the martial world!" The golden-masked man was so frightened that he knelt down with a "thud," his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud that was particularly jarring in the silent chamber: "Grandma, spare me! I was really wrong! You have a great heart, please forgive me this time. I'll serve you like a slave from now on, I'll never have a second thought..." As he kowtowed, he secretly glanced at Luo Qingci's face, looking as pathetic as a little dog wagging its tail for mercy.
Having dealt with these people, Luo Qingci clapped her hands in satisfaction, her clear and resonant voice echoing in the secret chamber: "Alright, from now on, you are all my people! Anyone who dares to disobey will suffer the same fate as that guardian beast!" She pointed to the guardian beast lying motionless on the ground, like a pile of mud, utterly devoid of its former power. The members of the mysterious group nodded hastily, not daring to breathe, fearing that a single wrong glance would bring about their demise. The scene was like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, filled with fear and obedience.
"Come on, take this lady to the treasure location! If you dare try anything funny, you know the consequences!" Luo Qingci flicked her sleeves, her movements as graceful as a martial arts hero, leading her "captives" in a grand procession towards the secret chamber's exit. She was incredibly smug; this trip had not only yielded countless treasures but also a group of "followers." She could already see the day she would dominate the martial world. "This lady will fight to the death, I'd rather die standing than live kneeling. Those 'demons and monsters,' those 'monsters and devils,' better not disappoint me!" A confident and arrogant smile played on her lips, her steps light as if she were walking on clouds, as if she could trample the entire martial world under her feet and become the undisputed, towering figure at the pinnacle of martial arts.
