CMWKSD -Chapter 164 The Radish Meeting!!!

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

But Jiu Yue’s gaze on the increasingly darkening sky made her expression unprecedentedly serious.

Darkness—the best curtain to hide all evils.

Her eyes swept across the viewing platform.

Unintentionally, they met the eyes of some high-ranking ministers.

All of them instinctively looked away.

Mainly because Jiu Yue now held a whip in one hand and a small, cold, sharp knife in the other.

Her aura—“God obstructs me, Buddha obstructs me”—was like that of a Rakshasa.

The danger had passed, but Jiu Yue’s murderous energy and ruthless cruelty hadn’t lessened in the slightest.

The ministers she saw all shrank their necks slightly.

Their hearts felt uneasy.

They couldn’t understand how a young girl just over twenty could radiate such an aura.

She was like a demon returned from a mountain of corpses and seas of blood!

Jiu Yue didn’t care at all how others perceived her. In fact, it was even better if everyone feared her.

That way, no one would dare provoke her like Ling Mo had, and she wouldn’t have to beat people up every day—it was exhausting.

Ying Yi, seeing Jiu Yue tense like that, somehow felt a twinge of pity.

That aura had been forged on the edge of death—not literally forged, as that word is usually for weapons—but for humans, it’s the closest description.

Ying Yi whispered cautiously, not wanting to disturb her: “Is something still wrong?”

Jiu Yue raised her eyes and glanced at the sky, now completely dark.

In the camp, people could be seen wherever there were fires.

But in the depths hidden in ink-black darkness?

“The sky is completely dark!” Jiu Yue’s tone was very serious.

Ying Yi straightened slightly, and all the “Ying Yi” members naturally moved.

They gathered the high-ranking ministers in the center.

Guards and Ying Yi stood at the outer edges of the crowd, holding torches and guarding them.

Those who had long licked blood from the blade knew best what the night meant.

Isn’t there a saying?

A moonless night with high winds—a night to kill.

Jiu Yue looked at the flags, banners, tablecloths, and chair covers on the viewing platform…

Tsk, whatever, if there’s something usable, it’s enough.

With that thought, Jiu Yue strode to the edge of the platform and casually tore down the largest flag.

Then she walked to Emperor Fengyuan: “Your Majesty, I’ll have to trouble you a bit?”

The emperor looked puzzled: “What?”

“Sit.”

For some reason, hearing Jiu Yue’s words, he sat down.

Everyone else twitched at the corner of their eyes, wishing they could gouge their own eyes out.

Because Jiu Yue had wrapped the emperor in the largest flag, leaving only his head exposed.

The Crown Prince huddled behind, biting his lip so hard he wouldn’t laugh.

It looked very…

“Jiu Yue, Jiu Yue… I… I also need to be wrapped?”

Jiu Yue yanked the flag.

She really wanted to kick the Crown Prince again but restrained herself. She didn’t treat the emperor gently either.

Her roughness seemed almost eager to tie up the Crown Prince as well.

And so, the Crown Prince was wrapped too, leaving only his head outside.

“Ying Yi, don’t just stand there. There’s extra fabric here; make sure nothing is exposed.”

Ying Yi: …

Guards: …

After tying up the Crown Prince, Jiu Yue went to bind Ji Yiqing and Ji Chaomian.

Before long, the viewing platform was filled with “radishes” wrapped in all kinds of strange fabrics.

Ying Yi and the guards turned their backs, not daring to look at this row of “radishes,” afraid a single glance would ruin the effect.

The most majestic, powerful, and domineering “radish” looked the most disgruntled.

Emperor Fengyuan felt that ever since Jiu Yue appeared, life could no longer be described as colorful.

It was thrilling and comical at the same time.

When he had first blocked his nose and ears, he already felt embarrassed.

And now?

Now, with his nose and ears blocked, his body was wrapped round like a ball.

He was in the front row!

Ji Yiqing and Ji Chaomian were a little further back in the “radish” group.

They didn’t dare speak. Normally, Ji Yiqing would want to stamp the title “Jiu Yue’s Husband” on his forehead.

But at this moment, seeing row after row of “radishes,” he knew that if he acted flauntingly, he’d become a sliced radish, a pickled radish, a dried radish…

Absolutely not an intact radish.

Looking at Jiu Yue’s slightly trembling figure, Ji Yiqing was completely certain—she was laughing!

If Jiu Yue’s method could really fend off centipedes or scorpions, he had no doubt it could.

Although Jiu Yue loved to play and sometimes acted erratically, she never slacked on major matters.

But today, every single event had agitated her.

Her thoroughness didn’t stop her occasional mischief.

Ji Yiqing and Ji Chaomian were already numb, even daring to toy with the emperor.

Even if Jiu Yue claimed she intended to usurp the throne, Ji Yiqing and Ji Chaomian might just raise an eyebrow and say “Oh,” without any surprise.

Emperor Fengyuan shouted: “Jiu Yue! How long must I endure this?”

Jiu Yue, having laughed enough, flushed red. If it weren’t so late, her stolen smile would have been discovered.

“Wait until I find that woman, then we’ll talk.”

More guards had gathered at the platform; there were already enough people here.

With them protected, Jiu Yue had no worries. She could focus on finding the person.

Jiu Yue took a small bottle from her bag and handed it to Ying Yi: “This is an antidote pill to neutralize all poisons. If anyone is bitten, they take one and wait for me to return.”

Seeing Jiu Yue, so small, heading into a ring of fire where life and death were uncertain, Ying Yi felt resolute and tragic admiration.

Ji Yiqing, hearing Jiu Yue’s instructions to Ying Yi, felt his eyes grow hot.

He wanted to say he could go with her. If poisonous snakes or centipedes bit Jiu Yue, they could bite him first.

But he knew that sometimes, he would only be a burden. Better to obediently follow Jiu Yue’s instructions.

“Jiu Yue!”

He quickly fumbled under the fabric: “Here’s the powdered medicine you gave me; I have a little left, take it…”

Jiu Yue glanced at Ji Yiqing suspiciously, then at Ying Yi, both looking touched.

Even the emperor, Crown Prince, ministers, and guards were visibly moved.

No longer were they the bitter and resentful faces from before.

Jiu Yue wondered if they’d all been poisoned by those venomous creatures’ brains.

“Why are you making that face? These creatures won’t dare bite me.”

She wouldn’t do anything suicidal; no one was worth giving up her life for.

She patted her little bag, took out a powder, and sprinkled it all over herself.

The smell was so pungent it could be smelled for miles.

“This scent is the most hated by all creatures, so none of them will come near me.”

Covered in it, everyone present twitched their heads in disgust.

Then Jiu Yue returned the powder to her bag.

She thought for a moment and walked to the emperor: “Your Majesty, I only made a small bottle, so you get a little!”

Without asking his consent, she sprinkled it over him.

Then the Crown Prince, and finally Ji Yiqing and Ji Chaomian.

Family got special treatment.

Ji Yiqing and Ji Chaomian: …

Royal father and son: …

Ministers: …

Yue~~~

The “yueyue” sounds rose in succession.

Not only did creatures hate it, humans did too!

Too stinky!

Ji Yiqing knew Jiu Yue liked experimenting with weird things, but who would carry this stinky powder around?

Jiu Yue plugged her own nose, sealing her sense of smell, so she couldn’t notice the stench herself. What did it matter to her?

Listening to the continuous yueyue sounds, she walked away with a head full of black lines.

This stinky powder had been researched by Jiu Yue after hearing about it from Shao Qing a few days ago.

Someone actually dared covet Ji Yiqing—this powder had to land squarely on their face.

If she hadn’t been suddenly called to the autumn hunt, Jiu Yue would have gone to meet the young lady of that high-ranking family herself.

What kind of people were these? Didn’t they know it was shameful to flirt with a married man?

Absolutely more shameless than she was!
