As a military man, the first thing he learned was how to calm and restrain himself, but the scene he just saw was just too shocking for him. He didn’t even know how he managed not to kill them when his anger took over. These men were knocked out when Xiao Bing walked out of that dilapidated building, but none of them were seriously injured because they were not responsible for the couple’s deaths. It was the men who murdered Zhang Gui that Xiao Bing wanted.

Holding a goblet, Zhu Liya was sitting beside the balcony and was overlooking the entire city. Instead of being cold like the way she usually made Xiao Bing feel, she looked mysterious like mist, making it hard for people to know what she was thinking.

She reached out and opened a window. She raised her hand and looked at her pink, soft palm as a breeze came by. She murmured, “Why am I feeling slightly cold. It’s a sunny day…”

The door was being knocked on when she gently sighed. She took a look at her watch and thought Xiao Bing should be near, so she slowly stood up and loosened two buttons on her collar while walking back to her room. She went to open the door.

As she expected, it was Xiao Bing, but she noticed that something was wrong. Zhu Liya knew Xiao Bing was supposed to give her comfort, but somehow Xiao Bing seemed to be more in need of it. She felt something strange on his body, which terrified her.”

“What? Am I not welcome here?”

“Of course you are.” She managed to put on a smile and said, “Put on the slippers and come in.”

Xiao Bing put on the slippers and walked in. Then he asked, “You’re alone? Where’s your husband?”

“He…” Zhu Liya slightly sighed, “Let’s not talk about him. Please seat yourself. I’ll make you a cup of tea.”

Xiao Bing walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. Zhu Liya elegantly went into the kitchen and came back with a cup of tea a couple of minutes later. She placed it beside Xiao Bing and put on a bitter smile, “Thank you for visiting me.”

Xiao Bing looked into her eyes and asked, “Liya, have you ever thought about a divorce?”

Zhu Liya sighed while shaking her head, “Actually I have thought about it many times, but… I just can’t. I have to live with a conscience. How stupid I am, right?”

“Perhaps.” Xiao Bing picked up the cup and blew on it. He gently took a breath and grinned, “It smells so good!”

“Drink while it’s still hot. I rarely treat myself with such fine tea leaves,” said Zhu Liya with a smile.

666 Xiao Bing grinned, “I heard that criminals held in death row in ancient times would be fed well before their execution.”

Shocked, Zhu Liya asked, “Xiao Bing, what do you mean by saying this?”

“It’s nothing. I just felt… I was always carrying out some special tasks when I used to be a soldier and I had to be capable of a couple of things to do them. One of them was the ability to detect poison otherwise I could be poisoned at any time without knowing it.”

Zhu Liya’s face turned terrible. She seemed to be slighted angered, “So you mean that there’s poison in the tea?”

“In fact, you have always been poisoning me. A woman’s beauty is as lethal as poison. Haven’t you heard of this?”

Zhu Liya’s face turned completely cold. She angrily stood up and said with indifference, “You should go. You’re no longer welcome here.”

But Xiao Bing didn’t move. He just kept staring at her.

Zhu Liya pointed her finger at Xiao Bing and said with her voice trembling, “You… you asshole.”

Smiling, Xiao Bing said, “Mrs. Zhu, you don’t have to be so angry. You look cute when you’re angry though, but it’s just so… artificial. Why don’t you sit down and let me tell you about it.”

Zhu Liya sat down and said in a cold voice, “Make it quick. You’re not welcome here anymore.”

Xiao Bing fixed his eyes on her and said in an indifferent tone, “Zhang Gui is dead.”

“Wait…what?” Zhu Liya seemed to be startled.

“Your husband is dead.”

Zhu Liya stood up. Her face paled a little and her body was slightly shivering.

Xiao Bing sighed, “I probably would be fooled by your professional acting yesterday, but you don’t have to do it now. You sent those men to kill him, right? Why did you do it?”

Zhu Liya said in a hoarse voice, “Is he really dead? How? You must be lying. It’s a lie!”

Zhu Liya’s eyes turned red. She dashed toward him, trying to punch him in the chest, but Xiao Bing grabbed her hands and threw her to the floor. Astonished, Zhu Liya slowly stood up and said in a trembling voice, “Are you out of your mind?”

Xiao Bing’s eyes were filled with apathy, which was something Zhu Liya had never expected from Xiao Bing. Fear rose from her feet and spread all over her body.

“You’ve never been married to Zhang Gui. He was not your husband at all. You hired him to put on a show with you. 200,000. What a price you have paid!”

Though Zhang Gui didn’t say anything while he was dying, Xiao Bing believed that people like him would never be faithless even when it came to death, so the story of Zhang Gui and Zhu Liya was totally artificial.

As he expected, Zhu Liya’s face changed, but soon she regained her composure. She sat down on the sofa in front of him and asked, “You already know it all?”

“Yes. I saw him before he died and I know there was a woman he truly loved,” sighed Xiao Bing. “That woman was just a whore, but their love was pure. I even found Zhang Gui to be a great man at that moment. Zhu Liya, you sent this couple to grave just for your evil purposes. Don’t you feel guilty?”

“I didn’t kill him.” Zhu Liya’s eyes dimmed a little. “But I don’t feel any sadness or guilt. He was just one of my tools.”

“If you didn’t send these men, then it must be the person behind you. Zhu Liya, I wished I was wrong before I came here, but I was disillusioned when I saw those pinhole cameras in your house… You think I would fall into your trap?”

Terrified, Zhu Liya looked at Xiao Bing. There was only one word in her mind at that moment: Devil!

Xiao Bing stood up and smiled at the upper corner of the wall. He pointed his index finger of his right hand at a well-hidden pinhole camera.

In a room of the Heavenly King Hall, Peony Fairy, the North Heaven Queen, was watching with Zhu Mingyu standing beside her. Zhu Mingyu’s face changed when Xiao Bing pointed at the camera. He could even feel Xiao Bing’s thirst for blood without opening his eyes.

One could not clearly see the expression on the Peony Fairy’s face because of the veil, but her pupils contracted instantly. There was surprise and anger in her eyes.

Grinning apathetically, Xiao Bing pointed at the camera and said in a dominating tone, “No matter who you are, you have successfully provoked me. Now let me tell you this… I will kill you. Some people have died because of me and I’ll pay for their deaths with yours!”

Then Xiao Bing flickered his finger and a steel ball flew from his hand. The steel ball hit the camera and crushed it, making the monitor in the Heavenly King Hall pitch black.

The Peony Fairy slapped the handle of the chair, which broke instantly. Her chest was heaving and her voice was overwhelmed with anger. “He… he dared to threaten me. I want him dead!”

After the camera was destroyed, Xiao Bing slowly got back to his chair. He looked at Zhu Liya with composure and asked, “Tell me who’s behind all of this and why didn’t you decide kill me the last time I was here.”

There was no need for Zhu Liya to lie since Xiao Bing had seen through it all. She could tell from his eyes that this man could never be tempted by a woman’s beauty, which meant that her greatest weapon was useless and she would definitely die.

Zhu Liya restored her composure after she realized this. Facing Xiao Bing, Zhu Liya spoke in a peaceful voice, “Because I needed to abate your vigilance to make sure the success of what was coming next. More importantly, my master wants to see you fall. She wants to prove that you are a licentious man, but she was disappointed… So she asked me to kill you this time.”

Xiao Bing sneered, “She wanted to see it?”

“Yes… that’s what the camera was for, but I didn’t think it would become the second flaw in the plan.”

Xiao Bing sighed, “Alright. Tell me, who is your master.”

“I can’t say,” said Zhu Liya while looking at him, “You can kill me, but you will never get an answer. I owe my master a lot.”

“I got it.” Xiao Bing gradually stood up and suddenly snapped his fingers. “Why does the North Heaven Queen want me dead?”

Zhu Liya instantly blurted, “She’s not my master. Xie Lun asked her to…”

Zhu Liya’s face turned white after speaking. Xiao Bing sneered and nodded, “So Xie Lun asked the North Heaven Queen to let you seduce and kill me. They really enjoy risking their necks, huh?”

Xiao Bing stepped toward the door after he finished speaking. Zhu Liya suddenly shouted, “Why didn’t you kill me?”

“I don’t want to kill you because you’re just another poor woman who has been manipulated by destiny… and I’ve seen enough blood today.”

Then Xiao Bing walked to the door, put on his shoes, and left, leaving Zhu Liya alone in her living room.

Zhu Liya staggered to the sofa on which Xiao Bing just sat and grabbed the tea cup that was for Xiao Bing. She drank it all. She then laughed and cried while her body shook. Soon she felt pain and her face turned green as black blood began to run from her nose, mouth, and ears…
