Chapter 18: Girls like you, I

【BigGourdGod: Is the Ice Queen here?】

【ForeverSeventeen: Somehow, welcoming new members like this feels off】

【Xia Na: Anyway, welcome aboard!】

【YinyangEyeJianzi: Huh, another group member?】

【DeadAngel: Welcome.】

【IceQueen: Where… is this place?】

Here it comes, the group’s mandatory snack list.

The new member’s arrival instantly dragged everyone out of hiding.

Since explaining the group’s rules to the cute new member wouldn’t earn any exchange points, Jia Ji simply handed the task over to the enthusiastic veteran members.

Amid the group’s chaotic chatter, the new member finally accepted all these trendy concepts.

【YinyangEyeJianzi: It feels like the new member isn’t from the modern era】

【Xia Na: Ice Queen—what a powerful name, almost rivaling mine… If my “Flame-Haired, Burning-Eyed Exterminator” title were still active (ノ｀⊿)ノ】

【BigMengShen: Hey hey, I’m still in the 20th century here, so I can’t really call it modern… But you’re right—the new member isn’t from the modern era, and we can’t even be sure she’s from Earth】

【IceQueen: I heard you can see the future?】

Clearly, though she accepted the group’s rules, she doubted whether the self-proclaimed “god” group owner truly possessed such an extensive intelligence network.

【BigMengShen: If I recall correctly, you’re the daughter of the chieftain of the Balutes tribe, a race specialized in hunting dangerous species from the northern frontier—haven’t you already joined the Empire by now?】

【BigMengShen: Am I right, A-S-De-Si?】

The ultra-S sadistic battle maniac Esdeis, who became the Empire’s youngest and strongest general at age twenty, leader of the special police unit “Hunters,” and wielder of the Ice Imperial Artifact “Demon Manifestation: Demon’s Essence,” is the ultimate boss the protagonist must ultimately face.

Among all the villains, Jia Ji immediately felt a sense of kinship.

【IceQueen: …I believe you.】

【Xia Na: That’s cheating!】

Jia Ji’s decisive move of revealing Esdeis’s hidden past was ten times more effective than dragging out unverifiable future events for everyone to argue over.

With such a devastating doxxing attack, capable of harming any group member across the multiverse, who could possibly resist? Who could possibly stand against it?

With the doxxing weapon in my hands, I am invincible!

【BigMengShen: How far have you gotten in the Empire? Have you become a general yet? Got your Imperial Artifact? Can you use Moke Bote Mo?】

【ForeverSeventeen: Moke Bote Mo…? Isn’t that one of the Eight Cold Hells?】

【BigMengShen: Don’t interrupt, Eight—my question is important (*)σ】

【IceQueen: You mean I’ll become a general of the Empire and get some Imperial Artifact? I knew those drunken fools in the Empire couldn’t keep riding me forever!】

Good—though her name is Ice Queen, it’s clearly a future title, just like Jianzi’s case; nothing has happened yet!

It’s a youthful version of Esdeis—plenty of room to maneuver!

Given the medieval-fantasy setting of *Red Eyes of the Executioner*, the protagonist leaves home at fourteen to join the army. Judging by Esdeis’s tone, she’s still lively… or perhaps seething with resentment—she’s probably not much older than that.

But guessing won’t help.

【BigMengShen: May I ask, young lady, how old are you now @IceQueen】

【Xia Na: Hmm, your tone today is weird -_-#】

【YinyangEyeJianzi: What’s going on? This feels like some middle-aged oily uncle hitting on a high school girl】

【ForeverSeventeen: Flirtatious guy!】

【DeadAngel: Kinda gross.】

【IceQueen: Just turned sixteen… Yeah, it’s kinda gross】

【BigMengShen: You guys are ridiculous!】

Sixteen—old enough to be serious, young enough to still be naive.

After returning from a hunt and discovering her entire tribe wiped out by northern invaders, she continued hunting dangerous species for a while before heading to the imperial capital to take office.

Right now, she’s probably just a slightly higher-ranking soldier, with plenty above her.

Although the future S Queen's hobbies include torture, domination, slaughter, and tormenting enemies—burying 400,000 foreigners alive like the barbaric Bai Qi—

Yet deep inside this killer, what she most desires is to fall in love!

As his spiritual power strengthened, Jia Ji’s memory improved significantly—he instantly recalled Esdeis’s love criteria: 1) Has a goal; 2) Has courage; 3) Grew up on the frontier; 4) Younger than her; 5) Possesses a pure smile.

The other criteria were manageable, but combining “frontier upbringing” and “pure smile”… didn’t that point to…?

Whoever caught Esdeis’s eye would be blessed beyond measure—but these five criteria felt tailor-made for one specific person, sending a chill down Jia Ji’s spine.

Might as well just reveal his identity as the *Red Eyes* protagonist.

Esdeis ruled supreme her entire life, undefeated and untouchable—yet in the end, she became a defeated dog, losing both her life and her love. Tragic indeed.

【BigMengShen: Girls like you, I’m going to correct you!】

【IceQueen: ???】

【Xia Na: What are you suddenly talking about?】

【YinyangEyeJianzi: Did the group owner get possessed?】

【ForeverSeventeen: Gone mad?】

【DeadAngel: Insane.】

Having spent too much time with him, these guys had learned to launch personal attacks, and their roast skills had improved daily.

Jia Ji didn’t care at all about these brutally sharp remarks—even if they reduced him to nothing, even if they called him arrogant and deaf to truth, as long as everyone was happy, it was fine.

But then again, I joined this group to be emperor—those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish. Those who directly point out my faults shall have their clans exterminated. Those who petition me online shall be executed. Those who slander me in public shall be ordered to commit suicide.

If I let you all get too comfortable, what’s the point of being group owner? Even if you’re all beauties, you can’t escape!

【BigMengShen: Are you ready?】

【Xia Na: Ready for what?】

【DeadAngel: Ready for what?】

【YinyangEyeJianzi: Ready for what?】

【System Notification: Xia Na, ForeverSeventeen, YinyangEyeJianzi, DeadAngel—muted for ten minutes】

What kind of group chat doesn’t allow muting? Is it even a group chat?

【IceQueen: So this is the group’s daily life…】

【BigMengShen: I’m going to sleep, you guys chat on】

……………………

Tap-tap, tap-tap

The tilted white military boots on the desk rhythmically tapped together, suggesting their owner was in good spirits.

Her slender, developing frame was clad in a crisp white military uniform; leaning back in her chair, her astonishingly long legs pressed against the desk, causing the chair to tilt halfway into the air, leaving her entire body floating.

The girl’s ice-blue hair fluttered in the breeze, her star-bright eyes gazing somewhere distant, her dark brows slightly furrowed—then, suddenly, a beautiful smile graced her delicate face.

① I have a question: Can a twenty-year-old Esdeis still be called a young beauty? But if there are seventeen- or eighteen-year-old hags, then surely there are twenty-year-old young beauties too.

② Here at Qidian, this is the author who respects e-cigarettes the most—this chapter has absolutely no disrespect toward Litang Wang.

③ Signed! So satisfying!
