He had just kicked Da Xi, and Ye Ling Yuan’s hands hadn't stopped. Now, however, they did.
Because, he finally discovered that his Lin’er was a bit wicked.
However, he liked such a wife.
A Lan seemed to not have heard Zi Lin Ling’s words, still murmuring to herself.
Da Xi wanted to speak, but before he could, Zi Lin Ling’s icy gaze scared him back into silence.
Zi Lin Ling said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, "Apologies, I’m used to being domineering, so if I don’t ask anyone, it’s best no one speaks up. Otherwise, your tongue might grow too long!"
Then, she turned to Ye Ling Yuan and said, "Although cutting tongues is tiring work, it’s a skilled job, isn't it?"
Ye Ling Yuan pulled her small hand, gently rubbing it as he said softly, "Lin’er, in the future, I'll handle this tiring work. If you get tired, I'll be heartbroken."
Both of them wore faint smiles, but their words sent chills down people’s spines.
Using the gentlest tone to speak the most ruthless words, they perfectly embodied the contrast.
The onlookers in the hall shivered again.
These two are truly a couple!
Birds of a feather flock together, as expected!
Zi Lin Ling nodded casually and said, "Yes! But I still hope there won’t be any blind fools who rush to offer their tongues."
Da Xi subconsciously swallowed and shut his mouth.
He didn’t want to end up like E You, with a shortened tongue.
Ye Ling Yuan said dotingly, "If there are any blind fools, we’ll just gouge out their eyes!"
Everyone in the hall shivered again.
Verification complete, these two are definitely a real couple!
They absolutely must be a real couple!
If they weren’t, heaven itself would be unjust!
Zi Lin Ling gently withdrew her hand with a sweet smile and slowly walked to E You’s front. She gave him a light kick and said, "You still haven’t given me a satisfactory answer to the question I asked you earlier."
"Eat… eat eat…"
E You quickly nodded.
In his eyes… no, he no longer had eyes.
In his heart, Zi Lin Ling was a beautiful demon.
Yet, this demon wore an angelic smile and appeared harmless.
"That’s more like it! A real man should be accountable for his actions. If you're wrong, admit it. I don't eat people!"
Zi Lin Ling nodded with satisfaction, a devilish glint in her eyes.
"Eat… eat eat…"
E You nodded again.
You don't eat people, but when you torture them, you're relentless. It would be better if you ate them!
Zi Lin Ling’s smile suddenly vanished, and she coldly asked, "Do you want me to chop you up and use you as fertilizer?"
"Eat… eat eat…"
E You, unable to see or speak, could only nod desperately.
"Admitted? So quickly?"
Zi Lin Ling feigned surprise.
The crowd: Can we afford not to be quick?
E You: Can I afford not to admit it?
Da Xi: Can’t we be quick about admitting it?
Gui Si: …
Ye Ling Yuan continued to shell sunflower seeds.
Zi Lin Ling’s face bloomed with a smile again, and she said lightly, "Since you admit it, then breaking your eyes and cutting off your tongue is not excessive, right?"
The crowd: Not excessive!
It’s too excessive!
This scholar is too cruel and merciless. Who knows how many people he has killed to use as fertilizer!
E You: Can I say it's excessive?
Da Xi: Alas…
Gui Si: It’s over…
Zi Lin Ling returned to Ye Ling Yuan’s side, sat down slowly, and said coldly, "Scholar, you should be grateful this is Fuyuan Town, otherwise, you’d be more like a zombie than a zombie right now! However, while the death penalty can be avoided, punishment is unavoidable."
As she spoke, she turned to the old man who had warned her earlier and asked, "Old sir, I’ll only ask you, do you hate him?"
The old man trembled as he stepped forward, indignantly saying, "How could I not hate him? How many people in Fuyuan Town have met their end by his hand, becoming souls lost to the flowers he cultivates!"
Zi Lin Ling took a mouthful of sunflower seed kernels that Ye Ling Yuan had handed to her and asked, "What about the others? Do you hate him?"
"Hate!"
The crowd echoed in unison.
Having been oppressed by the Four Villains for a whole year, they were almost driven mad.
During that year, they could lose their lives at any moment, their families could lose their lives at any moment, and their neighbors and friends could lose their lives at any moment.
High oppression leads to high phản ứng!
"Very good, don't get agitated. Soon, I'll let you have your grievances redressed and your vengeance taken!"
Zi Lin Ling raised her hand to quell the crowd’s angry murmurs.
Then, she looked coldly at E You and said in a low voice, "It seems you’ve incurred the wrath of the masses! In that case, let’s first extinguish this fire of public anger!"
At this moment, Zi Lin Ling was like an empress on high, pronouncing E You’s sentence.
"E You used human flesh as fertilizer, his sins are heinous, and he has now fallen into my hands. I permit the people of Fuyuan Town to take revenge, but the condition is, do not kill him. Do you understand?"
The onlookers bowed gratefully to Zi Lin Ling and said, "Immortal Maiden, that scoundrel knows martial arts, and we are just ordinary folk. How can we take revenge?"
Zi Lin Ling sneered, "Do you see if he has any ability left to fight back?"
Hmph! The Four Villains were, after all, only four people. If the people of Taoyuan Town had united against them, would they have had the chance to be so overbearing?
These people wanted revenge but were afraid of retaliation. How could there be a perfect solution?
If it weren't for this damned sixth trial, she wouldn't bother with these people.
But now, she had to use their hands to eliminate E You's wickedness, thereby further converting him.
Of course, deterring the other three villains was also a reason.
The crowd was stunned. They realized that the Four Villains, at some point, had lost their ability to move.
In front of them, the ferocious Four Villains were unable to make any waves in Zi Lin Ling's hands.
"Thank you, Immortal Maiden!"
The old man was the first to react, bowing gratefully. Then, he walked towards E You with a fierce expression.
Soon, the crisp sound of slaps, accompanied by E You’s muffled groans, echoed.
Then, the others also reacted. After thanking Zi Lin Ling, they began to punch and kick E You.
"Remember, leave him with a breath!"
Zi Lin Ling gave a command, then rubbed her slightly sore temples and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.
Although the onlookers were somewhat crude, they did not deviate from Zi Lin Ling's orders. They indeed left E You with a breath.
Truly, only a single breath was left.
When the crowd dispersed again, revealing E You in the center, he was completely disfigured.
Zi Lin Ling opened her eyes and thought to herself: these common folk are truly ruthless. If she hadn't given the order beforehand, they probably wouldn't have left E You even a single breath.
She casually glanced at E You, then her gaze shifted to Gui Si, and she said coldly, "Do you have anything to say?"
