Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge

Chapter 412: A Secret Murderer Does Not Compensate for a Life (2)_1

"HEHEHE, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such interesting food. I also like this poison powder, HEHEHE!" A chilling laughter surged once again. Shangguan You and Ye Er Shao clearly saw a pair of emerald green eyes as the fog in the room gradually dispersed.Shangguan You’s brows furrowed. Her poison was useless against them? These monsters liked her poison? The Zhuge Family really didn’t have any normalcy; even the things that belonged to their family weren’t normal. In a spacious corner, a creature covered in grey fur, with long limbs clinging to the wall, watched them dangerously with its green eyes, licking its dark lips with a long tongue.

It was a creature that was neither fully human nor fully wolf—a Werewolf. And there wasn’t just one; Werewolves were in every corner, four in total.

"Werewolves?" A murderous intent flickered in Ye Er Shao’s eyes, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.

"HEHEHE, you do have some insight, recognizing us as Werewolves. But we won’t reject prey that comes to us willingly." The Werewolf laughed eerily, revealing its sharp teeth. With a swing of its hands, its sharp claws glinted ominously in the darkness.

"HEHEHE, it’s been a while since we’ve had such delicious fare! What kind of poison is this? Give me more, I still want to eat!" another Werewolf in a different corner licked its lips, looking as if it hadn’t had its fill. Their food was actually her poison—how could this be happening?

"You take two, I’ll take two. If you show any mercy, they’ll eat you alive. The crocodiles at the bottom of that pool just now were their food," Ye Er Shao spoke coldly, his longsword swiping towards a corner.

CLANG! Sparks flew.

"HEHEHE!" The same laughter rang out. In a burst of sparks, Ye Er Shao was already clashing with the Werewolves. Shangguan You’s figure swept into the air. With a wave of her hands, a throne made of pale blue Water Element appeared behind her. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and elegantly seated herself. Since the Werewolves’ target was Ye Er Shao, this was a perfect opportunity to gauge his strength. It wasn’t that she was shameless; Ye Er Shao’s arrogant swordplay had drawn all four Werewolves to him. By sitting and watching as if it were a show, no Werewolf bothered her.

Shangguan You settled comfortably onto her throne. If it weren’t for the lingering stench, she would have taken out some Spirit Fruits to munch on while watching the battle unfold—truly one of life’s great pleasures. Inside the room, the fight intensified: four against one. Every move and strike from Ye Er Shao was ruthless and merciless, forcing the Werewolves around him to retreat. Seeing Ye Er Shao’s fierce Sword Qi, Shangguan You had to respect the Ye Family’s capabilities. She was glad she had won against him last time; otherwise, he might have torn her to pieces.

The Werewolves were agile, constantly leaping and bounding, their four silhouettes tirelessly circling Ye Er Shao. They utilized their physical advantages—long claws and sharp teeth—moving with vicious speed. Although they were fast, Ye Er Shao was faster; his Sword Qi repelled them before they could even get close.

His Sword Qi left bloody gashes on the Werewolves’ bodies. The heavy scent of blood permeating the room only made them more ferocious.

"HEHE, grab that woman! She’ll be good for breeding our children!" a Werewolf screeched, having momentarily gained an advantage against Ye Er Shao, and turned its attention to Shangguan You.

Before the words had even faded, a smaller Werewolf pounced at Shangguan You. "Stay away, you’re disgusting!" Shangguan You roared, incensed at the thought of being a bed-warmer for Werewolves. They were courting death, and she would gladly oblige.

With a wave of her hands, a Fire Dragon shot forth and coiled around the attacking Werewolf.

SIZZLE! The sound of hair catching fire was followed by the stench of it burning, wafting into her nostrils. The Werewolf that had lunged at her was now ablaze, rolling on the ground frantically trying to extinguish the flames.

SHRIEK! The Werewolves’ agonizing cries filled the air as Ye Er Shao seized the opportunity, striking at the remaining three with his longsword.

"AAAH!" A scream echoed once more as Ye Er Shao cleaved one of the Werewolves in two. Fresh blood drenched the room. The Werewolf’s body twitched a few times before it lay still, breathless.

"You’re too cruel," Shangguan You remarked, her lips curling slightly. Looking at the fresh blood before her, a knot of displeasure tightened in her chest.

"Why don’t you try then? I’m sure you’d be gentler. You might end up as the Werewolves’ queen—given your shamelessness, you’d probably adapt well," Ye Er Shao spoke coldly, while the remaining two Werewolves became even more frantic, their sharp spines clawing towards him.

"Hmph! They’re full of poison. If they scratch you, not even a deity could save you," Shangguan You retorted, glaring fiercely at Ye Er Shao. Queen of Werewolves, my foot! She made a dry comment while stealthily using her Wood Power to send electric currents towards the two Werewolves.

ZZZT! ZZZT! ZZZT! Cries rang out as the two Werewolves’ bodies turned black from the Electric Shock, smoke billowing from their mouths. "Not bad at all," Shangguan You exclaimed lightly, sending her Fire Dragon sweeping over them once again. The putrid smell of singed flesh filled the room.

"Shameless," Ye Er Shao cursed angrily, sheathing his longsword and watching Shangguan You roast the Werewolves.

"How am I shameless? If it weren’t for me, you’d still be fighting them," Shangguan You retorted, rolling her eyes at Ye Er Shao. She retracted her Fire Dragon and sprinkled a handful of powder. The four Werewolves’ bodies slowly dissolved into water, disappearing from the room.

As soon as the Werewolves vanished, a stone door appeared with a GRIND on the right wall. The two exchanged a look and flashed into the stone chamber beyond.

With another GRIND, the stone door to the chamber sealed shut behind them.

Upon entering, the strong scent of blood assaulted their nostrils. Their vision was filled with a sea of red. The first things to catch their eye were countless bones and a massive Blood Pond, where an enormous whirlpool of fresh blood churned. At the edge of the Blood Pond, people gasped for breath, already drained of so much blood that they were only moments from drawing their last, fated to die there.

Confronted with the brutal scene before her, Shangguan You involuntarily gasped and stepped back a few paces.
