Chapter 704: Are You Crazy?

~7 min read 1,342 words

"So you were the one who sent people to hunt down Mufeng?" Yue Moli opened her mouth, her tone gentle, but anyone who knew her knew that this was a dangerous signal.

"Mufeng?" Tang Ji-huai was confused. "I don't know any Mufeng... How could I send people to hunt him down? Did you make a mistake..." 【

"A mistake?" A flash of dark light flickered in Yue Moli's eyes. "Then you should at least know Xu Tian, right?"

"Xu... Xu Tian?" Tang Jihuai was shocked. "My Lady, do you know Xu Tian?"

That kid was just a live-in son-in-law of the Tang family; how could he be connected to Yue Moli?

"Xu Tian is my brother." Yue Moli's sharp gaze was like a keen blade; with a casual wave of her hand, a streak of white light flashed, piercing directly through Tang Jihuai's heart.

Tang Jihuai's corpse fell straight to the ground; he still maintained a look of shock, dying with his eyes wide open.

"What about the others?" Yue Moli looked toward Mu Ting.

"Bring them in!" Mu Ting clapped her hands three times toward the direction of the door.

Soon, Chen Xiaoxiao, A Biao, and the others were all brought in under guard.

Chen Xiaoxiao had actually not been in contact with Xu Tian for a long time, and she did not know why she had been captured along with them.

"Where is this?" Although Chen Xiaoxiao had already been removed from her post, her style of conduct remained arrogant.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask; you only need to honestly answer our Queen's questions!" Mu Ting said sternly.

"Why should I listen to you?" Chen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Mu Ting. "Who do you think you are?"

"If you want to die, then behave yourself!" The man in the suit on the other side also scolded Chen Xiaoxiao. "This is not a place for a piece of trash like you to act wild!"

"You bastard!" Chen Xiaoxiao was furious; regardless of the consequences, she raised her palm and struck toward the man in the suit.

"Overestimating your own strength." The man in the suit sneered; after Chen Xiaoxiao approached, he slapped her directly across the face, sending her flying. "You had better behave; I don't know how to be gentle with the fair sex!"

"You... cough, cough... cough..." Chen Xiaoxiao lay on the ground in a sorry state, unable to get up for a long time.

She prided herself on having decent talent; even if she was no longer considered a top-tier Shadow Guard in the Tang family, her strength could at least rank in the top five. Yet, she had not expected that she would not even be able to take a single strike from this man in the suit.

This feeling of being completely crushed made her very unhappy, yet she was powerless to do anything.

Where exactly was this place?

Chen Xiaoxiao was both shocked and angry, and at the same time, she felt a secret sense of dread.

"What is the relationship between Xu Tian and the previous head of the Tang family?" The man in the formal suit saw that Chen Xiaoxiao was no longer resisting and began to interrogate her.

"There is no relationship," Chen Xiaoxiao said coldly.

"You are lying!" The man in the suit shouted sternly. "As the former Shadow Guard Commander of the Tang family, you spent the most time by the side of the Tang family head; how could you not know the relationship between them?"

"No relationship means no relationship; if you don't believe me, go investigate it yourself," Chen Xiaoxiao said with an indifferent and uncooperative attitude.

"Heh, how long do you think you can hide it?" The man in the formal suit gestured toward the door, signaling his subordinates to bring A Biao and the others in. "Even if you don't talk, there are others who will confess!"

"My Lady, this woman has a very stiff mouth and is of no use to us; why not just throw her into the arena to fend for herself?" A flash of malice crossed the man in the suit's eyes as he stared fiercely at Chen Xiaoxiao, trying to see a trace of fear on her face.

However, Chen Xiaoxiao kept her face cold and her neck stiff, saying nothing; this disdainful attitude completely infuriated him.

"I see you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Someone, take her down..."

Just at this moment, Yue Moli, who had not spoken until now, suddenly opened her mouth.

"Stand down."

"But, My Lady..." The man in the suit was somewhat unwilling, but upon meeting Yue Moli's half-smiling gaze, he ultimately swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Yue Moli wanted to keep this person, so she must have her reasons.

No matter how bold he was, he did not dare to defy Yue Moli's decision.

Because of Yue Moli's instructions, the subordinates of the man in the suit did not dare to act rashly. Chen Xiaoxiao climbed up from the ground in a sorry state, glaring with hatred at the woman sitting in the center of the hall, her eyes filled with wariness.

But to her surprise, Yue Moli did not pay any more attention to her, instead looking at A Biao, Fengwu, and the other bounty hunters.

Since entering the hall, Fengwu had been completely out of the loop.

She never imagined that one day she would meet Yue Moli, the queen of the dark forces.

"Queen..." She noticed Yue Moli's gaze fall upon her, and her body could not help but tremble.

In front of someone whose status and strength were so vastly different from her own, she had to put away her pride.

"Who do you bounty hunters work for?" Yue Moli asked.

"We work for our boss." After Fengwu answered subconsciously, she realized she had said something useless, so she looked up at Yue Moli in fear and trepidation.

Fortunately, Yue Moli did not blame her for this, but instead asked with great patience.

"Who is your boss?"

"It is... it is the Shadow Master of the Shadow Organization," Fengwu answered cautiously once again.

Hearing "Shadow," the others present were all dismissive.

In this world, there was no such thing as the Shadow Organization.

Yue Moli curled her lips slightly, her expression showing no displeasure.

It seemed that Yun Mufeng had lived quite a carefree life during the time he had been away from her.

Not only had he gone to the distant Eastern kingdom of Huaxia, but he had even disguised himself as the Shadow Master and recruited a few bounty hunters to work for him.

"Queen, do you know our boss?" Fengwu waited for a while, and seeing that Yue Moli did not speak again, she asked proactively.

Because Xu Tian had explained his destination before leaving Huaxia, Fengwu and the others knew that Xu Tian was now on Wuji Island.

"Know him? More than that," said Mu Ting, who was standing beside Yue Moli. "He is our Queen's fiancé."

"Wh... what..." Fengwu was greatly shocked.

Not only her, but even A Biao, Xia Luo, and the others behind her were so shocked that their mouths fell open.

"Oh my goodness!" A Biao could not help but click his tongue.

Their boss was too incredible; he had actually managed to hook up with the queen of the dark forces, and the two were even engaged.

However, he soon realized something else.

"Wait... is there a mistake... isn't our boss in Huaxia with the Tang family..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Fengwu kicked him.

Daring to undermine the boss, are you crazy?

A Biao realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly covered his mouth.

If Yue Moli found out that her fiancé was fooling around outside and even playing both sides, their boss would be in big trouble.

"When he was in Huaxia, did he adapt to life there?" Yue Moli asked slowly, her tone sounding somewhat like casual small talk.
