He’s... special. His loyalty to Ye Chen is unquestionable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I kill him?\" Leng Shuang suggested, making the neck wiping gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that would make Richard our enemy too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a short pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just keep him occupied,\" Su Mo said lightly. \"That should be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang didn’t respond, but she understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plan sounded simple, but it relied heavily on timing and perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, given how calm Su Mo was, she guessed he must have planned everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Su Mo just didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King’s Palace was useful to him, but that doesn’t mean it was necessary to have it. He just felt it was a waste for Ye Chen to have them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They drove in silence for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking the navigation, Su Mo spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re almost there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang looked ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The road had become narrower, leading toward a more secluded area. The surrounding villas were spaced further apart, and there were fewer signs of activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a large property came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mayor’s villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stood slightly apart from the others, with a small stretch of artificial forest surrounding parts of it. From the outside, it looked quiet—too quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they could sense the auras of dozens of them inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang’s gaze sharpened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you want to handle them?\" she asked. \"The ones inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her meaning was clear. She was talking about the escaped criminals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we eliminate them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To kill those trash, she had no psychological burden. Anyway, she was a killer. Her bottom line is just not to kill innocent people; anything else is fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo didn’t answer immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, dealing with people like that wasn’t difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had many ways to subdue them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even torture wasn’t an issue if needed. With his healing ability, he could undo the damage at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But killing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t there yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he understood very well that people like them didn’t deserve his mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he was simply not ready to cross that line right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll see when we get there,\" he said finally. His tone wasn’t heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just casual. \"Let’s focus on Ye Chen first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to think about it much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he was the main objective of their mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo leaned slightly forward, resting his chin on his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wonder if my guess is right...’ he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to catching Ye Chen, there was also something he wanted to confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, after dealing with Lin Fan, the results had been... interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Lin Fan lost his identity as the protagonist, the rewards Su Mo received during the next system check-in had noticeably improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he thought it might be a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the same thing happened with Ye Chen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it wouldn’t be a coincidence anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what he wanted to test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted toward the villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from what Miss Yang said...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s luck isn’t much left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made things easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car came to a stop a little way from the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they approached the area, the difference became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people were patrolling the perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not openly, but their auras were crystal clear like a lamp in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere around them felt... tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, different from ordinary people, their auras were full of violence and bloodlust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew without a doubt that they were escaped criminals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang observed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are no neighbours, is that why they chose this place?\" she noted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo followed her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding villas were distant, separated by trees and open space. The artificial forest provided natural cover, making the area even more isolated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a good spot,\" Su Mo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was close enough to the prison. Hidden enough to avoid attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After escaping, reaching here wouldn’t have taken long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on foot, they all should have arrived in less than half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked ahead at the villa once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s voice was light, almost casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, his figure flickered and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang paused for a brief second, watching the empty space where he had just been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pressed her lips together slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh... when can I learn that movement technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t the first time she had seen it, but it still felt... unfair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, she didn’t dwell on it. With a light step, she jumped over the villa’s boundary wall and landed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she entered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several criminals who had been patrolling the area were now lying unconscious on the ground, scattered. Some were still holding their weapons loosely, others slumped against the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo stood nearby, casually holding one of them by the collar before dropping him onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang glanced around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You didn’t even leave one for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll leave the ones inside the villa to you,\" Su Mo said, then clicked his tongue lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just how many people have these guys killed?\" he said, looking down at the unconscious men. \"Even Wu Chaochang’s subordinates didn’t carry this much bloodlust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Shuang raised an eyebrow slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard about that encounter last night. When her Master and Miss Yang were on a rendezvous, they ran into other cultivators and fought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard it, she felt a little regret for not being present there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after learning that even the weakest among them had a higher cultivation level than her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had quickly adjusted her expectations. Maybe it was still early for the fight against cultivators. I still have a lot to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-02T12:20:51.811Z",1,"novelbin.me","022e15e4ca44a86dd0cfd87645448b6006f846deadb0e7ffa21c038403de605d","the-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-chapter-121","the-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-chapter-120",240,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-destiny-villainess-wants-me-to-work-cover.jpg"]
