Behind those calm, clear eyes were violent crashing waves. All who looked at Feng Tianlan felt great fear in their hearts. Her eyes were even scarier than the previous clan head’s.
Feng Tianlan smiled and didn’t say anything. She continued to stare back emotionlessly at the butler. His heart pounded with fear. But then, he realized that he was only looking at a young lady, and she couldn’t possibly do anything too terrible.
“What do you want?” The butler didn’t know why, but he still felt anxious.
Feng Tianlan laughed lightly, then went forward and dislocated his lower jaw. She looked back at the wailing servants and said, “I give you all one more chance to live. Whoever comes forward and bites him until he begs for mercy and spills the beans will not have to die.”
Oh my god!
Everyone gasped when they heard this. They couldn’t believe that she had thought of something like getting the servants to bite another human.
“Just kill me if you want.” The butler’s words were a little slurred, but the terror in his voice was apparent. Now he knew why she had dislocated his lower jaw – she didn’t want him to kill himself by biting his tongue.
Feng Tianlan glanced at them as she said calmly, “You all have five minutes.”
“Feng Tianlan, you’re so vicious. How could you…” Tu Xiupei started her tirade against Feng Tianlan, but before she could finish, the whole group of servants who had been begging for mercy earlier started dashing for the butler.
Feng Qingling saw what was happening and quickly disabled the butler’s limbs then took a step back. The other servants surrounded the butler. Soon, yelps and screams were coming from him. Some even started fighting each other so that they could get a chance to bite the butler, and the whole place was in chaos.
“Bite all you want. Just don’t kill him!” Feng Tianlan didn’t even raise her eyes to look since she had already expected this to happen.
Human nature was so vulnerable in the face of death. Furthermore, these were a bunch of selfish people.
Tu Xiang didn’t feel much for these people. He was just anxious because he was afraid that the butler would spill some of his secrets. He couldn’t wait for those servants to bite the butler to death.
“Stop.”
Even after Feng Tianlan told them to stop, some of the servants still refused to let go. Feng Qingling had to beat them and shout before they let go and moved aside. The blood in their mouths was proof that they had bitten down on human flesh. But, in the chaos, who knew which person had bitten who?
There wasn’t any flesh left on the butler that hadn’t been bitten. Half of one ear had even been chewed off, and his entire body was bloodied. He had nearly been eaten alive.
“I’ll talk. I’ll talk.” After a few minutes, the butler couldn’t endure being eaten alive anymore. Being bitten to death was even more terrifying than being slashed a thousand times.
“Tu Xiang and Xu Jiayi gave the previous clan head a slow-acting poison to kill her…”
Tu Xiang roared, “Butler!”
Feng Tianlan glared coldly at Tu Xiang then told the butler, “Continue.”
“I know where the storeroom keys are. Also, that slow-acting poison came from Xu Jiayi. It’s not a poison that’s found in South Winds Nation. It should have come from the Beiqi Nation, but I don’t know the details …”
Tu Xiang’s eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists as he helplessly listened to the butler’s confession.
A powerful alchemist was backing Feng Tianlan, so he couldn’t afford to offend her. Feng Tianlan was not skilled enough to kill him, so she still had to be wary of him. Since these two were on a par, they could only strike at the other people around them.
“All these years, Tu Xiang has always given me instructions, and I have a lot of evidence of these deeds. I’ve confessed everything already. I beg Clan Head to be merciful to me.” The butler fell to the ground to beg for mercy. He didn’t ask to live anymore. Now, he only wanted to die as quickly as possible.
