My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 290 It turns out she's a female tyrant...

The prefect didn't want to answer, but for some reason, when he met the young man's ambiguous smile, he subconsciously answered honestly.

There are currently about 1,500 people.

Xin Nian blinked and looked around. "Your village looks like it's of medium size, but there are so many people here?"

The prefect smiled awkwardly, "Besides this village, there's also a shantytown behind it, where quite a few people live."

"Are all those shantytowns your slaves?" Xin Nian asked curiously.

“Young lady, you can’t just say things like that.” A richly dressed woman came out from the back room, smiling as she spoke. “How can these be considered slaves? They are just some poor people from out of town. My prefect took pity on them and let them stay here to do some work in exchange for a full meal.”

Behind the woman were two burly young men who stared intently at Xin Nian, their steps faltering.

Where did this clean and beautiful young lady come from?

After months of natural disaster, to still see such a clean and fresh woman usually means that her family has plenty of water and food.

Xiao Jinzhi was unhappy with the way the two men were looking at the young girl, and stood coldly in front of Xin Nian.

Xin Nian poked her little head out, grinning innocently and harmlessly, "What kind of work are we doing? Digging?"

"Yes, the little girl is very clever." The magistrate's wife chuckled. "There are quite a few things buried underground. If we dig a little, we might find a way out."

"Everything we dig up has to be handed over to you, right?"

The magistrate's wife smiled and said, "How can this be called handing over? We kindly settled these people and provided them with clean water for free. We only took two-thirds of the food they dug up. This is more like exchanging goods for water."

Xin Nian curled her lip, "Raising a bunch of slaves to dig food for you, that's really ruthless."

How could that water source be something left by his ancestors? Water is a gift from nature, and everyone who sees it has a share.

I don't understand why more than a thousand people can't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Xin Nian couldn't be bothered to save those who couldn't even save themselves.

Even if you save them, they'll just be a bunch of useless people. What use are useless people? They'll be eliminated by society sooner or later.

"Oh, nothing else, I'll take my leave now." Xiao Jinzhi said casually, took Xin Nian's hand, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, the prefect's wife blocked their way first, smiling as she looked them over, and said in a sweet voice, "Young lady, you can leave whenever you want. But young master, why don't you stay? Don't be fooled by our dilapidated appearance, we have several spacious and nice rooms inside."

The woman, adorned with jewels, winked at Xiao Jinzhi, saying, "Please choose whatever you like, young master."

What?
It turns out the person in charge of this village is the prefect's wife, hahaha! This woman is really brave; she dared to seduce the crown prince right in front of her husband.

Look at the prefect's perpetually sullen face, like he's holding back his words, it's really funny.

Xin Nian's eyes widened, she turned to look at the prefect who dared not speak his anger, then looked up at Xiao Jinzhi whose face was slightly gloomy, and then let out a howl and threw herself into his arms.

"No, you absolutely cannot detain him here! You bunch of country bumpkins, how dare you detain His Highness the Crown Prince! I'll bite you to death!"

Xiao Jinzhi helplessly tugged at her and ruffled the little girl's fluffy head.

"What Crown Prince?" The Prefect's wife was taken aback and turned to look at the Green-Headed Turtle Prefect. "What's going on?"

The prefect looked indignant. "How should I know? This girl has been saying ever since that young man is the crown prince."

Upon hearing this, the Prefect's wife smiled. "If it really is His Highness the Crown Prince, that would be even better. I've only ever been with one crippled prince, and I've never been with someone so handsome and dashing..."

Xiao Jinzhi raised his hand and released a phantom image, slashing his sword towards the woman's neck.

The woman, who had been spouting nonsense, immediately shut her mouth, her face filled with shock and uncertainty as she dodged the sudden, unseen figure. The two young men behind her scattered in a panic, showing no sign of being able to protect their mistress.

The moment Xiao Jinzhi made his move, Xin Nian immediately erected a spatial barrier around them, making it impossible for anyone to escape the area.

As a result, the two young men crashed into the spatial wall with a "bang," and the seemingly strong but actually weak good-for-nothings knocked themselves unconscious.

"What kind of superpower is it?" Xin Nian asked.

"It should be related to speed." Xiao Jinzhi coldly stared at the woman darting around inside the spatial wall.

Xin Nian said "Oh," and then added, "That's no use, just kill them."

How dare you flirt with her chubby son? You're asking for trouble!
Xiao Jinzhi released two more time projections, leaving the woman with nowhere to hide or avoid them. She was struck on the shoulder by one of the projections.

The other projection was even faster, and in a matter of seconds it separated the woman's head and body in two, causing them to fall to the ground with a thud.

The three projections appeared quickly and disappeared even faster, vanishing in a flash.

All that remained was a pool of blood, and the prefect himself fell to the ground with a thud, kicking his fat legs as he tried to back away.

Xin Nian said irritably, "You're just looking for trouble!"

If we hadn't invited them in the first place, none of this would have happened, right?

The little girl kicked the broken head into the prefect's arms, scaring the fat old man into screaming and scrambling to avoid it.

"Take us to the warehouse!" The little girl stretched out her foot and rubbed it vigorously in the waste soil with disgust.

Xiao Jinzhi took out a pair of new shoes and suddenly reached out to pick her up.

Xin Nian glared at him, her face flushing red, "I'll change it myself!"

Xin Nian quickly changed into a new pair of shoes, then pulled Xiao Jinzhi away from the blood-stained ground and followed the prefect to the storeroom.

This miser had piled up a lot of things in the storeroom. Xin Nian raised her hand and moved the storeroom into the spatial condensation bead.

She didn't care about these scraps of metal at all, but she could reward the members who contributed the most!

This divine intervention terrified the prefect, who prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head even slightly.

"Raise your head!" Xin Nian shouted to the prefect.

The old fat man hurriedly raised his head and kowtowed tremblingly, "Goddess, spare my life! Goddess, spare my life!"

Xin Nian asked irritably, "Who is this crippled prince your wife mentioned earlier? Where is he?"

Prefect Pangqiu then led the two performers to a row of side rooms at the back of the village, pointing to one of them, "That male concubine... he claims to be the King of Cheng. After he fled here, he was detained by the Lady."

He then waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Goddess, this matter has nothing to do with me. Ever since my wife received the divine power bestowed upon her by Heaven, she has never taken me seriously."

“She makes all the decisions in this village. If it weren’t for my two sons, that woman would have kicked me out long ago to fend for myself.”

Xiao Jin kicked the door open, and a foul, strange smell wafted out.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he pulled the little girl aside.

The prefect hurriedly ordered his two trembling sons, "Quickly, go and carry the person out."

The person was carried out, but his face was deathly pale, and he looked like he was about to die.
