The Empress’ Livestream Chapter 739 - Second Attempt at Killing You (Ⅱ)

Chapter 739: Second Attempt at Killing You (Ⅱ)

When had their streamer ever been humiliated by others before?
Jiang Pengji, the person in question, had yet to explode from anger, but those in the live streaming room already had.
[Huishoufang Zhiwushang]: “Quick, bring me my 40 cm huge chopper. I vow to hack this slut in half with one strike!”
[Fell in Love with the Night Sky]: “Do you despise your rather long life? How dare you scold the streamer? I vow to smack you, foolish one, to death!”
[Laosiji Lianmeng]: “Perhaps she does despise her long life. After all, the streamer killed her once before.”
[Molanzhi]: “Those time travelers who are born wealthy are often spoiled. I pity the streamer. She’s merely a freeloader who has knowledge about the livestream.”
[Qingfeng Xueying]: “Hahaha, is the viewer above certain? This slothful streamer creates trouble everywhere. Look at how many people who have been implicated by her!”
Jiang Pengji bent her head, lifting her hands to cover her ears. She didn’t appear angry.
What a joke. If such humiliation could weaken her morale, she wouldn’t have been able to live till now.
To a general in an army, one’s temperament was critical.
Thus, Jiang Pengji was still in the mood to pry information from the lady clothed in red.
With her interest piqued, Jiang Pengji pinched her chin. Her pupils were like black jade and akin to the deep waters. “You mentioned she deserved her retribution? Were you referring to my mother, Gu Min, or to my stepmother, Gu Zhen? Or did you refer to both?”
The lady clothed in red laughed coldly. “Aren’t they just the same?”
“Exactly. They are similar,” she said. “If so, why don’t you tell me what tactics you used?”
She pursed her lips tightly without making a sound.
Jiang Pengji added, “My father once said that back then, Meng Zhan was still a gentleman. When he married my stepmother, he reiterated his promise to treat her well. However, after a few years in the marriage, Meng Zhan went back on his promises completely. I don’t doubt my father’s assessment of people. He and Meng Zhan were once best friends who studied together. They had no conflicts of interest, and Meng Zhan had no reason to lie to him… Thus, did you scheme some evil deeds in between?”
The lady clothed in red had never imagined Jiang Pengji to be so astute. She felt somewhat guilty, yet simultaneously, she was provoked.
She saw Liu She and his wife as her nemeses. They had fought multiple times. This round, her successes were few and far between.
She smiled delightfully.
“When Gu Zhen had sexual intercourse, she did not bleed, indicating that she had already lost her virginity. In order to stabilize her standing in her maiden family, I secretly gave her a gift so that she could bear a son within one night!”
Her facial expression turned cold. “What happened next?”
“The night before Gu Zhen got married, she was ambushed on her journey to the Meng house by a group of bandits. She was only shocked and not harmed, but later a rumor surfaced that Gu Zhen had lost her virginity to the bandits. Her marriage was approaching. It was impossible not to get married. As you know, men take their women’s loss of chastity very seriously. Since blood didn’t surface on their first night together, Meng Zhan wanted to bear with it. But who expected Gu Zhen to become pregnant after their first night together? Then came the question: Who did this child belong to?”
In this era, there was no test to determine paternity. The unreliable means of dripping blood to verify parental relations was unconvincing.
Meng Zhan had since felt that he had been made a cuckold. He couldn’t bring up this topic. He considered how he could get Gu Zhen to abort the baby. Then he could forgo the matter.
Eventually, it was Gu Zhen who insisted they keep the child. This became the source of their sufferings as husband and wife.
Jiang Pengji laughed. “You even schemed against Stepmother’s second child?”
The lady in red said, “Meng Zhan frequently saw Gu Zhen flirt with the manservants in the manor. How could he not hate her?”
“Stepmother would never have done such things.”
The lady in red smiled, revealing her dimples.
“A pill that changes one’s face is a useful item.”
Her smile turned chilling immediately.
“You are indeed sinister. Shady business and unscrupulous schemes… You are so good at them.”
“So what if they were morally right? Didn’t your heroic mother also pass on?” She laughed mockingly.
“If you didn’t really hate my mother, I originally thought you would have had a forbidden relation with her.” Jiang Pengji sighed. “My last question is, when you harmed my mother thirteen years ago, did you almost cause her to lose both her life and her child?”
The lady in red was at first determined to answer, but she suddenly held herself back.
“I refuse to answer.”
Jiang Pengji’s lip curled. “Even if you refuse to say, I already know the answer. It is truly a rarity to find such a fool as you on this earth.”
The lady in red had just quenched the anger in her heart, but now it had started burning again. She discreetly clutched the [Level 9 Loyalty Talisman].
The System discreetly signaled to her to stop.
“Host, now isn’t a good time to use this skill, and you are not her worthy opponent! Liu Xi’s spiritual energy is impressive. We must wait until she’s unprepared or when she’s plagued with sickness. Then our success rate will be 100%. She is currently in a hyperactive state. The success rate of the [Level 9 Loyalty Talisman] is higher than normal. Don’t take a risk lightly. It’s wise to retreat first. There will be other opportunities later.”
The System also hated Jiang Pengji to its core, but this was helpless against her.
The lady clothed in red finally found her sanity. She swallowed this bitter grievance grudgingly. She planned to secretly break the [Deity Crosses Thousands of Miles Talisman] in order to escape.
Jiang Pengji’s spiritual power was immensely strong. How would she not notice her every movement?
As the lady in red broke apart her [Deity Crosses Thousands of Miles Talisman], Jiang Pengji, who was quite a distance away suddenly appeared behind her.
Immediately, her neck pulsed in pain, and the sound of bone cracking drifted into her ears.
“You—”
“Since you revealed so much information, I will graciously give you an opportunity to redeem yourself. Let’s meet again.”
Jiang Pengji smiled from ear to ear as she respectfully sent the lady in red away. On the surface, she appeared rather joyful, but her heart was clouded with malice.
This person had committed so many sins. To kill her once was letting her go easily. Why not keep her alive to torture her slowly?
Wuma Jun witnessed the split second when she murdered the lady clothed in red and the instant when she disappeared. He was so petrified that he lay flat on the ground.
These two people were devils!
When Jiang Pengji’s sights landed on him, Wuma Jun was so afraid that his hands and feet felt glued to the ground. How he wished to leave this cursed place.
So long as he could live, he was willing to pay the price.
“Why are you running?”
Before Wuma Jun could even take two steps, he met with an impact at his waist. Unfortunately, he was kicked to the ground by Jiang Pengji.
“Lan… Lanting, on the basis of our past relationship, please don’t kill me… Liu Huan isn’t your biological sister, but both of you were once siblings…”
His fear made his limbs become weak.
He relaxed his lower stomach. A warm, orange-yellow fluid flowed out.
Tears and mucus streamed down his face.
She witnessed this and remarked mockingly, “Pulling the relationship card doesn’t work on me. Why don’t you propose some practical benefits instead?”
Wuma Jun was inspired and quickly added, “Lanting, tell me whatever you wish. I will give you even half the kingdom if you let me go…”
She broke out in laughter. “If we speak of interest, then certainly you deserve death. Fourth Prince, what a pity you aren’t a three-year-old kid!”
If he were a three-year-old kid, she might just keep him alive.
When Wuma Jun heard this, he already knew Jiang Pengji would never let him off.
“Liu Xi, you deserve a terrible—”
Wuma Jun lay on the ground. As he was about to curse and swear, a foot stepped on the back of his head from behind, pushing his face into the ground.
“Noisy!”
Once she used force, his skull beneath her feet broke apart.
Yellow, green, red, and white fluids and masses splashed across the ground.
Jiang Pengi removed her dirty socks. She haphazardly put on a pair of clean wooden clogs and left this habitation as if a phantom had just floated past.
