"Fine, tell me a different name, and I'll let you off the hook."

After speaking, Xiao Yaoqing raised his hand and gestured "please".

His gestures—his face clearly said, "Keep performing."

.

Kezai Du froze.

If they won't let me talk about my dad, then who else can I bring up?

Speaking of the Emperor?

But wasn't the Emperor's relationship with him only established through his father's connections?

With just one sentence, Xiao Yaoqing completely exposed Zha Yadu's past.

For the first time, Zha Yadu realized that without his father, he was nothing.

A bone-chilling despair suddenly poured into Zha Yadu's heart.

He actually started to doubt himself because of Xiao Yaoqing's words.

Even more inexplicably, a thought popped into my head: "No wonder Minmin has always looked down on me..."

This is truly bizarre.

Even at a time like this, he was still thinking about Zhao Min.

No wonder he's such a sycophant.

If Xiao Yaoqing knew what Zha Yadu was thinking at this moment, he would probably admire him.

The color drained from Zha Yadu's face, and his head slowly drooped down.

But she kept putting on a brave face:

"Xiao Yaoqing, even if I only have my father's support, if you kill me, you won't leave alive!"

Zha Yadu made a harsh statement, thinking it would terrify everyone.

Even though he only has one prince father, that prince is the seventh prince of the current dynasty, and he holds power that ordinary people can't even imagine.

In his view, these people must be afraid.

But to his surprise, he heard a sneer.

Zha Yadu was startled and looked up.

Xiao Yaoqing remained expressionless, while Xiao Zhao behind him looked equally bewildered.

But the terrifying maid, the ascetic monk, and Yuchi Feng all wore expressions of disdain, even mockery.

Xiao Zhao didn't react because she didn't understand these threats at all. She only had one thing on her mind—to follow Xiao Yaoqing, no matter where they went or what they did.

As for Xiao Yaoqing... he was too lazy to give any response.

Zha Ya couldn't understand why these江湖人 (jianghu people) weren't afraid of his father.

He'll probably never understand it.

Xiao Yaoqing was too lazy to waste any more words with Zha Yadu and slowly raised his right hand.

Xiao Zhao, who was behind him, immediately understood and brought a teacup from the table next to him, handing it to him.

"Smack."

Xiao Yaoqing snapped his fingers.

The water in the teacup seemed to be drawn by something, suddenly flying up and landing in his palm.

The water neither spilled nor dripped, but flowed slowly across his palm without leaving a single drop.

The three of them—Bitter Monk Fan Yao, Yu Chi Feng, and Lian Xing sitting next to Xiao Yaoqing—all showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

They can do that too—but they need to protect their palms with their internal energy.

However, there was no trace of true energy covering Xiao Yaoqing's palm.

The water, however, remained still and did not disperse.

That takes incredible control!

What they didn't know was that Xiao Yaoqing wasn't actually that amazing.

This is nothing more than a "life-or-death talisman".

His methods. In this era, only he knows them.

He certainly possessed true energy, but it only affected the water flow and had nothing to do with his palms.

The three stared at the water in Xiao Yaoqing's palm, and the next second, their pupils shrank simultaneously.

The water had actually condensed into a tiny ice arrow.

"this……"

Even Lianxing, the strongest among them, showed a hint of shock in her eyes.

The water suddenly froze into ice, and even she herself couldn't figure out why.

When water turns into ice, there must be a transition period, right?

But the ice arrow in Xiao Yaoqing's hand seemed to appear out of thin air, completely overshadowing the previous flow of water.

"What kind of method is this? One hundred and twenty!"

The three of them racked their brains, but they still couldn't understand why such a strange skill existed in the world.

Xiao Yaoqing's eyes flashed, and he casually flicked his right hand.

"puff!"

The ice arrow pierced straight into the flesh of Zayadu.

"puff--"

Another mouthful of blood spurted from Zha Yadu's mouth.

Zha Yadu looked up in alarm, trembling, and asked:

"What did you do?!"

Xiao Yaoqing glanced at him indifferently:

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Yuchi Feng and the Bitter Monk to let go.

The two exchanged a glance, seeing Xiao Yaoqing use the Life and Death Talisman for the first time, and had no idea what it was for.

But they let go and each stepped aside.

The pain in his teeth suddenly subsided.

He didn't know what Xiao Yaoqing had done to him, but he knew this was his chance to run away.

Without saying a word, he got up, turned around, and ran away.

Yuchi Feng and Ku Toutuo were about to give chase.

Zha Yadu suddenly stopped and froze in place.

"Thump"

With a thud, it fell straight to the ground.

Lianxing, Yuchifeng, and Kutoutuo were all filled with curiosity.

Immediately afterwards, Zha Yadu began to tremble violently all over.

He was curled up in a ball, his face was frighteningly pale, his lips were purple, and cold air was coming out of his nose and mouth.

In utter despair, Zha Yadu cried out, "Yes, Master!"

"cold……"

His teeth chattered, the sound like drumbeats.

"I'm freezing... I'm freezing..."

"Give me clothes! Give me clothes!!"

He roared and tried to crawl toward the nearest Yuchi Peak, but his arms were clasped too tightly and he couldn't stretch them out at all.

The person was trembling uncontrollably on the ground, screaming in agony.

However, the screams of the man with piercing teeth stopped not long afterward, and his curled-up body slowly stretched out.

Just as Zha Ya thought he was saved, a surge of scalding heat rushed from his heart to his entire body!

"Ouch!!! It's burning me!!!"

"It's burning me!!!"

Zha Yadu suddenly stood up and frantically tore at his clothes, trying to find some coolness.

The sight of Xiao Yaoqing being repeatedly tortured by the stabbing tooth and tongue drew everyone's curious gaze.

Yu Chifeng and Ku Toutuo exchanged a glance, their Adam's apples bobbing involuntarily.

A chill ran through both of them.

Just how sinister is this thing?

"It's insane how it can freeze you solid one minute and burn you to a crisp the next!"

They were terrified when they thought about it.

At first, the two of them were thinking about how to go against Xiao Yaoqing.

If it weren't for that... indescribable "aura" emanating from Xiao Yaoqing...

.

I'm afraid I've already tasted that feeling myself by now.

Little did they know that the Life and Death Talisman was actually just a gift from the system to Xiao Yaoqing.

"Xiao Yaoqing!"

"What exactly did you do to me?!"

While frantically tearing at his clothes, Zha Yadu roared at Xiao Yaoqing.

Xiao Yaoqing ignored him and just stood there watching.

His eyes were indifferent.

At this moment, Zha Yadu suddenly stopped tearing.

The heat on my body was slowly subsiding.

But he didn't relax at all.

Having learned my lesson before, I know this is far from the end.

really!

The next second, Zha Yadu suddenly raised his hand and began frantically scratching at himself.

"Ah!!! It's so itchy!!"

A third feeling came over me.

He grabbed it really hard.

Neck, face, arms—anywhere the clothes had been torn open earlier were covered in streaks of blood.

I scratched myself all of these.

Not to mention Xiao Zhao, who was hiding behind Xiao Yaoqing with her head down, even Yu Chifeng and Ku Toutuo couldn't help but frown when they saw it.

The two of them took two steps back at the same time, as if afraid of getting something on them.

Xiao Zhao had already buried her face in Xiao Yaoqing's back, not daring to look up at all.

Only Lianxing stood to the side, staring at Zha Yadu's miserable state, silently pondering:

"This thing... is quite interesting?"

It really is you, Lianxing!

"I wonder if my brother could teach me how to deal with those annoying men in the future."

In this world, Xiao Yaoqing is the only man who doesn't annoy her.

no way.

After several rounds of back and forth, Zha Yadu finally couldn't take it anymore.

Tears and snot covered his face.

He cried his heart out until his voice became hoarse.

"Xiao Yaoqing! Please! Let me go!"

"I really know I was wrong!!"

"Xiao Yaoqing, I'll never dare to mess with you again! Please forgive me!!"

The torture he was experiencing was worse than death.

But this coward didn't even have the guts to let Xiao Yaoqing kill him.

As he chanted, the tone changed:

"Xiao Yaoqing...no! Master!"

"Master! Please spare me!"

"I swear! I'll be your slave, your servant, just please spare me this once!"

Zha Yadu knelt on the ground, looking utterly miserable, with nowhere left to go.

The reason Xiao Yaoqing used the Life and Death Talisman to deal with him was precisely because he was waiting for this soft-spoken remark.

He looked at the person in front of him, slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of invisible energy entered Zha Yadu's body.

Zha Yadu finally quieted down.

But he was still terrified.

He thought this respite was only temporary, and that he would soon be in excruciating pain again.

But what he feared never came to pass.

Now, Zha Yadu is covered in blood, all from the wounds he inflicted himself.

His clothes were already tattered beyond recognition, and he even tore off a piece of his scalp in excruciating pain.

Looking at him now, where is there even a trace of the aloofness of a young prince?

Even if you threw them into a group of refugees, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

Zha Yadu curled up into a ball, lying on the ground trembling uncontrollably.

His face was frighteningly pale; there was no other expression whatsoever besides despair.

Even Yuchi Feng and the monk Fan Yao felt a pang of sympathy for him when they saw his miserable state.

But as heartbreaking as it may be, they feel no sympathy for this tooth-piercing man.

He curled up on the ground for a long time with his teeth stuck in his throat, but the excruciating pain he feared most didn't reappear, and he slowly recovered.

But he didn't dare to move an inch.

Xiao Yaoqing finally spoke:

"Alright, get lost. Remember, if you want to taste that again, come find me on the fifteenth of every month."

So, does that mean it has to happen once a month?

This thing is actually used to control people?!

Yu Chifeng and the ascetic Fan Yao exchanged a glance, their pupils suddenly contracting.

That's right. If that's the case, then this person will be unable to leave Xiao Yaoqing for the rest of his life and will have no choice but to obediently serve as his servant.

The two men couldn't help but feel a bit wary.

If I show any disloyalty, won't I end up in the same situation?

However, it seems that Xiao Yaoqing had no intention of doing that to them at all. It appears that Xiao Yaoqing still trusts them quite a bit. This further increased their loyalty to Xiao Yaoqing.

However, they were overthinking it.

Because these two people were not recruited by Xiao Yaoqing himself.

They put the stickers on the door themselves, and Xiao Yaoqing had no choice but to go along with it.

So, the Life and Death Talisman? Absolutely unnecessary!

As for this Zha Yadu, Xiao Yaoqing didn't intend to win him over.
