Killer Queen: Tyrant, prepare to die!

Chapter 81 Blood Plum Blossoms Reflecting Snow! Five human heads were placed in a brocade gift box and sent back to the Liu residence.

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Two major events have occurred in Hangzhou.

---

The first thing is in the open.

The Liu family joined forces with eight major cloth shops in Jiangnan and simultaneously put up signs offering "discounts and special offers".

All fabrics are reduced in price by 30%.

"This is driving us to our deaths!"

In a private room on the third floor of Jinxiufang in Qinghefang, Qian Sihai was so anxious that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth.

The owners of the eight major cloth shops across the street were sitting in a teahouse.

Holding a cup of tea.

He looked at the entrance of Jinxiufang with a smile.

Waiting for customers to be snatched up by the low prices.

"Boss, should we follow suit or not?" Qian Sihai gritted his teeth. "If we follow, our profits will be thinner. If we don't..."

"I won't go." Ye Huang stood by the window, looking at the teahouse across the street.

His expression was calm.

"Not only will the price not be reduced."

She turned around.

"Starting today, Jinxiufang is launching the 'Phoenix Pattern Haute Couture' collection. Each garment will be made in one piece. Pre-orders must be placed three months in advance, and prices start from... three thousand taels."

Qian Sihai gasped, "Three...three thousand taels?!"

"Yes." Ye Huang walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote down the regulations.

"1. Membership system. A minimum of 100,000 taels of silver is required for registration."

Second, limited quantity. Only three orders will be accepted per month.

"Third, the premium service includes in-home measurement, dedicated embroiderers, and lifetime maintenance."

After writing it, he handed it to Qian Sihai.

"Post it out."

"Boss, is... someone really going to buy this?"

Ye Huang looked out the window at the magnificent carriages.

Laughed.

"What Jiangnan has in abundance is wealthy people."

"What rich people fear most is being like everyone else."

---

That afternoon.

The new rules for Jinxiufang have been posted.

The whole city was in an uproar.

Three thousand taels for a single garment? Are you crazy?!

"They need to verify 100,000 taels of silver before you can buy it? Are they selling cloth or gold?"

In the teahouse across the street, the managers of the eight major cloth shops laughed even more heartily.

"This Night Phoenix is ​​indeed an incompetent widow!"

"Just wait, her place will be closed down in less than three days!"

But they didn't wait until the third day.

That evening.

Three gilded and jade-inlaid carriages stopped at the entrance of Jinxiufang.

They got out of the car.

She is the wife of the richest man in Jiangnan, the daughter of the Salt Merchants Association, and the granddaughter of a retired Grand Secretary.

The three entered.

Verification of funds.

Place your order.

All in one go.

Each person ordered three sets.

Nine sets of clothes.

Twenty-seven thousand taels of silver.

Pay in full on the spot.

Laughter from the teahouse across the street.

Stopped abruptly.

---

The second important thing.

It happened in the dark.

child time.

The snow is getting heavier.

The Phoenix Garden was completely silent.

Ye Huang wore only a plain white undergarment and stood barefoot under the corridor in the back garden.

He held the jewel-encrusted dagger in his hand.

She was waiting for someone.

Waiting for some... people who shouldn't have come.

"Girl," Eunuch Li appeared silently from the shadows, "you've arrived."

"several?"

"Five. Four were armed, and one used poison. They scaled the wall; they're quite skilled."

Ye Huang nodded.

"You go and protect Bao'er."

"Then you..."

"I'll move around a bit."

She finished speaking.

Stepping into the snow.

Barefoot on the snow.

Not a sound was made.

---

Plum Blossom Grove.

Five dark figures landed.

"This is it." The leader of the swordsmen lowered his voice. "The master said that Ye Huang will stay in the east wing. Capture her alive, and the master will interrogate her personally."

"Do you really need five people?" The young man who used the poison scoffed. "One poison needle from me is enough to paralyze her for three days."

"Don't underestimate them." Sword Fiend cautiously surveyed his surroundings. "This garden is too quiet; something's not right..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

A soft laugh came from the shadows.

"You're only realizing something's wrong now?"

The five people suddenly turned around.

Under the plum tree.

Ye Huang stood there.

Dressed in white as snow, with her black hair flowing freely, she stood barefoot in the snow. The dagger in her hand reflected the snow's light, and the ruby ​​looked like congealed blood.

"You—" The Poison Hand's apprentice's pupils contracted, "How did you know…?"

"I know a lot." Ye Huang slowly walked out. "For example, you are remnants of the 'Seven Fiends of Jiangnan.' For example, your master, the 'Poison Hand Medicine King,' died in the Northern Desert three years ago. For example..."

She stopped five steps away.

"You will all die here tonight."

Dao Sha roared in fury: "Arrogant!"

He was the first to pounce.

The blade gleamed.

It slashed straight at Ye Huang's face.

Ye Huang did not dodge.

She simply raised her hand.

The dagger drew an extremely thin arc in the air.

"puff--"

The blade of the Blade Demon stopped in mid-air.

He stared wide-eyed and covered his neck.

Blood spurted from between his fingers.

It dyed the snow red.

"The first one." Ye Huang turned to the side, avoiding the splattered blood.

The remaining four were terrified.

"Attack together!" Jian Sha shouted fiercely.

The axe-shaped and hook-shaped evil spirits attack from both sides.

The Poison Hand's apprentice quietly circled behind him, and three gleaming blue poison needles slid out from his sleeve.

Ye Huang didn't even look behind her.

She faced the axe demon.

Just as the giant axe was about to strike, his figure darted away like a ghost, grazing the edge of the blade. At the same time, his left hand shot up—

Three embroidery needles.

It accurately pierced the axe's eyes.

"Ah—!" Axe Demon screamed and covered his eyes.

Ye Huang was already behind him.

Press down on the back of his neck with your right hand.

Support your chin with your left hand.

Twist it.

"Click."

The crisp sound of a neck bone breaking.

It was especially clear on the snowy night.

"The second one."

She let go.

Axe-wielding man fell softly to the ground.

At this time.

The hook of the Hook Demon is already behind him.

At the same time, the Poison Hand's apprentice also fired three poison needles.

Ye Huang smiled.

She suddenly lunged forward and rolled on the snow.

The hook grazed her back.

The poison needles were all fired at—

Hook-shaped evil spirit.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Three needles were inserted into the body.

Gou Sha froze, his face instantly turning black.

"Junior brother, you..." He pointed at his poisonous disciple and collapsed to the ground.

The poison master's apprentice was dumbfounded: "I...I didn't..."

"You are..." Ye Huang had already stood up, twirling the dagger between her fingers. "Thank you for helping me deal with the third one."

She finished speaking.

The dagger flew out of his hand.

It wasn't aimed at the poisoner's apprentice.

But -

It shot towards the fleeing sword spirit.

"Pfft!"

The dagger pierced his back and protruded through his chest.

Sword Demon was pinned to an old plum tree.

Plum blossoms fell softly.

He fell into a pool of blood.

"The...fourth." Sword Demon coughed up blood, staring intently at Night Phoenix. "You...are not a merchant..."

Ye Huang walked up to him.

He drew his dagger.

Blood sprayed all over her.

Plain clothes stained with blood.

Like red plum blossoms in the snow.

"Yes," she whispered, "I am a vengeful spirit."

The sword's killing intent vanished.

just now.

Only the poisonous apprentice remained.

His legs went weak.

"No, don't kill me..." He knelt down, "I was forced! Liu Chengming arrested my mother, I..."

"I know." Ye Huang wiped the blood from the dagger. "Your mother is in the cellar of the Liu family's villa in the west of the city, isn't she?"

Poison Hand's apprentice was stunned.

"I sent people to rescue her three days ago," Ye Huang said calmly. "Now, she's in a safe place."

"Really?!"

"It's true." Ye Huang looked at him, "but you'll die too."

The dagger flashed.

The poisonous apprentice clutched his throat and collapsed to the ground.

There was no resentment in his eyes.

Only liberation.

"Thanks……"

The last word.

Dissipated in the wind and snow.

---

Snow stopped.

In the plum blossom grove.

Five corpses.

Blood stained a large area of ​​snow.

Ye Huang stood in the middle.

The plain clothes have turned into blood-stained clothes.

She raised her hand.

I plucked a plum blossom stained with blood.

"Eunuch Li."

"This old servant is here."

"Cut off their heads," Ye Huang said calmly. "Pack them in the finest gift boxes from Jinxiufang. Deliver them to Wanghu Tower first thing tomorrow morning."

Eunuch Li bowed and said, "Yes."

"And one more thing," Ye Huang paused, "there's a note in the box."

"Write what?"

Ye Huang thought for a moment.

A slight smile played on her lips.

"Just write—"

"Young Master Liu's gift is so generous, I have no way to repay it."

"I offer these five heads as a token of my gratitude."

"—Respectfully presented by Ye Huang"

---

The next morning.

Wanghu Tower.

Liu Chengming had just gotten up.

Then I heard a heavy thud outside the door.

"What is it?" he frowned.

The guard carried in a box, his hands trembling.

Jinxiufang's gift box.

The finest sandalwood.

It is carved with phoenix patterns.

"Young master...this...this was sent by the people from Jinxiufang..."

Liu Chengming opened the box.

then.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

Five heads.

Neatly arranged.

Do not look down.

At the very top.

It is the head of the Sword Demon.

She was still staring at him.

Bottom of the box.

A sheet of paper sprinkled with gold.

Those two lines of text were written there.

Liu Chengming's hand.

It started shaking.

It's not anger.

It's cold.

The cold seeped from between the bones.

Night Phoenix...

She is not a businesswoman.

She is……

"A madwoman," he murmured. "She's a madwoman..."

The guard asked cautiously, "Young master, what... what should we do about this...?"

Liu Chengming slammed the lid shut.

"Burn it."

"yes!"

"Wait," he called to the guard again.

"Investigate," he said hoarsely. "Investigate how many people Ye Huang has killed."

The guard was taken aback: "Young Master?"

"Investigate!" Liu Chengming roared. "I need to know... what kind of trouble I've gotten myself into!"

The guards scrambled away.

Liu Chengming sat alone in the room.

Looking at that gift box.

Suddenly he laughed.

His laughter was contorted.

"Night Phoenix..."

"The more you act like this..."

"The more I want you, the more I desire you."

outside the window.

It snowed again.

This winter.

It was destined to be washed away with blood.
