"Kill... me, I'm willing... to do anything!"
After a short while, the two maidservants among the pile of bones who could endure it no longer spoke haltingly, painfully begging Li Musheng above the earthen pit.
Seeing this, Li Musheng slowly nodded, "It seems the power is quite effective."
He flicked his fingers, stopping the Life and Death Talisman from taking effect on the two women.
In an instant, the two maidservants gasped heavily like drowning victims being rescued.
Seeing this, Cang Yinyue beside him showed a strange expression on her face.
This method Li Musheng used to torture people was clearly even more terrifying than the Hidden Intelligence Bureau's interrogation methods, breaking through the prisoners' psychological defenses so quickly.
She looked at Li Musheng again, and at some point, he had become unfathomably deep in her eyes.
Whether it was his incredible martial arts cultivation or the fact that he always possessed some strange and astonishing martial techniques, everything kept breaking her existing conventional understanding.
She really didn't know just how many secrets this person before her held.
"Miss Cang, I'll leave the rest to you."
However, Li Musheng had no intention of questioning these people himself. He directly tossed this tedious work to Cang Yinyue.
Hearing this, Cang Yinyue's gaze imperceptibly swept over Zhu Fenglan, and she opened her lips slightly, though she didn't speak.
Li Musheng naturally understood her thoughts and waved his hand, "I'm leaving all these people to you to handle. No matter how great your grudge, whether you want to kill or torture them, it's all up to you."
Cang Yinyue let out a light breath, looked deeply at Li Musheng, and said, "Thank you!"
Then, she directly leaped into the bone pit below, heading toward the seven people who couldn't move...
Li Musheng withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
At this moment, his eyebrow twitched, and he turned to look at a spirited-looking young woman who appeared sneakily in the courtyard.
The moment their eyes met, Shangguan Qingqing and Li Musheng stared at each other in silence for a while.
"That... I have no intention of attacking you."
Shangguan Qingqing quickly raised both hands. Her originally heroic and pretty face now appeared extremely cautious.
She gently turned her head, gesturing for Li Musheng to look toward the ruins on one side of the courtyard, "I remember there was another young lady here who came to capture the flower thief like me. I actually came back to save her."
Li Musheng glanced at the ruins and waved his hand, letting her do as she pleased.
He had naturally discovered Guan Shanxue long ago, but seeing that she was unharmed and had only been knocked unconscious by the collapsed house, he hadn't paid much attention.
Seeing this, Shangguan Qingqing breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
She stole a glance at Li Musheng, then quickly walked into the ruins and dug out Guan Shanxue, who was covered in dirt and dust.
After checking her body and finding nothing seriously wrong, she circulated her true qi into Guan Shanxue's body, causing her to slowly awaken.
The awakened Guan Shanxue reached up to support her forehead, feeling her head somewhat dizzy and heavy, with colorful lights in her vision and seeing everything in double images.
She lifted her head slightly to look around, her gaze sweeping over the ruined courtyard and Shangguan Qingqing beside her, still not quite clear about where she was.
But the next moment, when her sight fell on Li Musheng, her gaze suddenly froze, as if instantly attracted by some special aura emanating from him.
At the same time, the colorful visions in her eyes receded, and her dizzy head seemed to gradually clear up, but her gaze seemed glued to Li Musheng's body, unable to move away no matter what.
An inexplicable surge of emotional stirring welled up in Guan Shanxue's heart. Seeing this man before her, she suddenly felt joyful and happy, with an incomparably warm and intimate feeling, unable to resist wanting to stay by his side and embrace him.
In fact, Guan Shanxue did exactly that.
She stared at Li Musheng with an infatuated expression, got up from the ground, and rushed toward him, spreading her arms wide to hug him.
But Li Musheng pressed one hand on her forehead, preventing her from advancing even half a step.
"Huh? Although I know I'm indeed quite handsome, why didn't she actively approach me before, but now with this ghostly appearance, she's throwing herself at me?"
Li Musheng touched his own face, looking at Guan Shanxue before him, covered in dust and looking like a big tabby cat, and frowned, "I really can't bring myself to do this!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Qingqing's eyes moved, staring at Guan Shanxue who was now flailing her arms and legs, seemingly determined to embrace Li Musheng, and suddenly seemed to remember something, hurriedly saying, "I remember now. I vaguely heard earlier that the flower thief's mother seemed to have fed her something called Thousand Infatuations Hundred Resentments Powder. They say that thing can make her fall head over heels in love with the man she sees."
Speaking, she looked at Li Musheng again, "It's probably because of that powder that she's become like this."
Hearing this, Li Musheng raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his eyes, "There's actually such a miraculous powder?"
Before he had transmigrated, when browsing web pages he often encountered many popup ads that couldn't be closed, including many deceptive pages about love potions.
But that stuff was all fake, scams by fraudsters to trick lustful old men out of their money. In reality, there was no drug that could make someone inexplicably fall in love with someone.
He just hadn't expected that in this world where martial arts flourished, such strange and odd things actually existed.
Thinking of this, the finger pressing on Guan Shanxue's forehead lightly flicked.
Immediately, the true qi throughout Guan Shanxue's entire body became agitated like boiling water, red flush spreading across her snow-white neck, her whole face flushing red.
The next moment, she lowered her head and opened her mouth wide, spitting out a mouthful of black water mixed with concentrated true qi, then rolled her eyes and fainted.
"The toxins have all been forced out. She should be fine. I'll leave her to you."
Li Musheng pushed Guan Shanxue toward Shangguan Qingqing. After catching her, Shangguan Qingqing's eyes sparkled as she stared continuously at Li Musheng.
Then, she placed Guan Shanxue on the ground, straightened her clothing slightly, and solemnly cupped her fists toward Li Musheng, "I am Shangguan Qingqing from Qing Province, a disciple of the Tianhe Blade Sect. Your chivalrous heart and profound martial skills truly fill Qingqing with admiration. Might I know your name so Qingqing can become acquainted with you?"
Hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at Shangguan Qingqing. This young lady before him was heroic and pretty, and she gave compliments quite nicely.
"Li Musheng."
Li Musheng cupped his fists toward her, responding in the manner of martial world people greeting each other.
Hearing this, Shangguan Qingqing's face showed delight, thinking Li Musheng was an approachable young hero.
However, Li Musheng's next words left her somewhat stunned.
"Miss Qingqing, you can also call me His Highness the Eighth Prince. Besides that, I also have a martial world nickname called Little Li Flying Dagger."
"Of course, if you want to call me the Number One Expert Under Heaven, that's naturally also acceptable."
Li Musheng spoke calmly with a completely straight face.
