Chapter 11: She Who Sees All (VII)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jiang Pengji was not used to having an audience. Furthermore, the System’s hypocritical attitude increased her dislike of the livestream, and she decided not to refrain herself for the broadcast.
Let the people stay or leave the channel. She couldn’t care less. She was once the general of Corps Seven, and she would not bend to anyone for some stupid rewards. The System better leave her alone!
Despite the young body she currently occupied, she demonstrated incredible strength.
Within a second, another bandit fell to the ground. Despite the sound and scent of the splashing blood, she could not draw attention to the killings before her plan was fully carried out.
It was impossible to clean up everything in such a short time. She swiftly wrapped the wounds of the dead with pieces of her cloak that she had prepared earlier, and she moved the corpses into a dark corner.
Soon many more bandits lost their lives until there were only a few left.
Many of the lamps had gone out. As she looked at the remaining lights, Jiang Pengji curved her plump lips cruelly. Her dagger was stained with blood, and it reflected the light with the same coldness.
The scent of blood seemed to be everywhere. Jiang Pengji looked like the grim reaper, even though the soul who had previously occupied this body was meek and harmless.
The System tried to sound calm and friendly. “My host, what did you do in your past life?”
With such combat power and skills, she should cooperate with other Systems to become an Empress! She could even rule the world!
“I thought you knew everything… My former profession was, of course, harvesting people’s lives!”
Her answer was like a thrilling wind, sending chills to both the System and Toudu Feiqiu, who, despite his fear, could not resist watching the video.
Creak. The unlocked door opened wide.As soon as Jiang Pengji entered, she smelled a pungent bloody scent and saw the floor covered with corpses.
Without diverting her gaze, she walked inside and lifted her feet when her way was blocked by a disconnected arm. Her footprints were stained with the warm blood that soaked through her shoes.
“Apparently, you are more brainless than I thought.”
The bandits who were still alive lay on stools or tables, battered and exhausted. Leaders Two and Four were among them.
Rage had taken over control of their egos, driving them to kill madly. Leader Four had been the most extreme. Leader Two had not prevented him from chasing those who had visited his wife. Those who attempted to calm him down were accidentally injured and had gradually lost their patience. They revealed more secrets, including Leader Two’s own misconduct.
And the result was in front of Jiang Pengji.
The survivors could no longer fight. As they rested, however, they continued to be vigilant of anyone who might resume attacking.
Chilly wind rushed in as the door opened, cooling their exasperated minds.
Instead of seeing Leader One, whom they had expected, they heard Jiang Pengji. When their eyes met her’s, their faces turned dreadfully pale.
Her words, the scene… They quickly recognized this was a trap.
Furiously, a bandit sitting beside a stool widened his eyes. He would have jumped up to slay the young girl had he not spent all his energy. “You deceitful, wicked woman!”
“Mind your tongue!”
The man’s heartbeat stopped in a second. Jiang Pengji pulled her dagger out with a skillful turn in her wrist, and the blade sped toward the throat of another outlaw who tried to scream for help. Thud! The weapon flew through his neck and cut into the wooden pillar behind.
For her, it would have been a piece of cake to kill the bandits even before the fight. Now it was even easier.
Only two bandits remained, and both were terrified. One yelled for help, and the other crawled backwards as he howled and shook his head. Fear crept into every corner of his mind, and he could not control himself. He urinated in his pants, leaving wet traces on the floor.
“Please forgive me… I do not want to die… I really do not want to… Forgive me, please…” He shrieked as if she were Death itself, hunting him for the lives he had taken.
“Are you begging me?” Jiang Pengji scowled unfeelingly. “But what is the point? I am not letting you go now.”
This time, she spared her dagger and used her hands instead. With little effort, she held his throat, raised his body, and broke his neck with her fingers.
Small streams of blood filled his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth; his eyeballs nearly fell out of its sockets. Jiang Pengji snorted coldly at the struggling man, and then she sat in bandit boss’s seat. The System and the audience didn’t dare to make a noise.
Three… two… one!
She counted in her head as the heavy, hurried footsteps approached. Leader One rushed into the room and was petrified when he saw all the bodies.
His eyes met Jiang Pengji’s, and he watched her play casually with a dagger on his leather-covered seat.
“You know what I abhor the most? Humiliating ladies and robbing other people’s properties! You should have known this was coming when you first laid eyes on me.”
“Did you… lie to me?” The faces of the corpses, especially those that were filled with agony and struggle, shocked Leader One so much that his reaction was almost physical. He retreated back a few steps.
Tsk! He felt like a girl in a romance novel, unable to react after finding out her lover had been unfaithful.
Jiang Pengji made no reply. She just lifted the corners of her mouth.
Leader One soon regained his wits. The muscles in both of his arms inflated, and the blood vessels on his forehead bulged. He was furious at the sight of the crimson that stained the entire place. Drawing a blade from his waist, he knew he must take revenge.
“Brains are awesome. I wish you had one.”
As Jiang Pengji readily avoided his blade, the hem of her blue clothes seemed to dance elegantly along with her movements. She then bent her elbow to give him a sharp blow. As soon as her elbow touched his chest, Leader One lost all sensation.
In the few seconds that followed, the only sounds were that of a heavy body falling onto the ground and the cracking of broken bones.
Now that she felt her mission was complete, Jiang Pengji was pleased. She stepped on Leader One’s chest and looked down at him. “Stay still.”
The bandit boss used all his energy to lift his head. Blood flowed from his throat to his mouth and finally ran over half his face.
He still did not understand how she had made him believe her.
How did she know about Mo’niang?
That was the only thing that really mattered as he lay dying.
