SBCEJM -Chapter 124 The Heroine Rescues the Gossip-Loving Crowd, Earning Everyone’s Worship and Admiration!

The people inside the prison cell nearly jumped with excitement when they saw Feng Zexuan appear.

Tears streamed down their faces.

“Wuuu… Heroine, save us! You finally came to rescue us!”

A fat man rolled to Feng Zexuan’s feet and desperately kowtowed while hugging her leg.

“I-I didn’t betray you willingly! Those beasts held a knife to my neck and forced me!”

The young informant hurriedly explained in a timid voice, afraid she might be displeased.

“That’s right, that’s right! We just had too much faith in your abilities!”

“How could those shrimp soldiers possibly be your match?”

The old man quickly chimed in, gazing at her with eager admiration.

“Heroine! You are the god in our hearts!”

【What a bunch of bootlickers!】

Feng Zexuan curled her lips.

“Enough nonsense. Come with me. Keep quiet and don’t cause trouble.”

Everyone immediately shut their mouths obediently.

They huddled together and followed behind her.

As they turned a corner, the sound of whips cracking echoed from deeper inside.

Mixed with shrill screams.

Two whips lashed back and forth relentlessly.

Feng Zexuan suddenly turned around and made a “shhh” gesture.

The crowd instantly froze in place.

Only the gossip-loving sparkle remained in their eyes.

【There’s gossip to watch!】

Feng Zexuan secretly rejoiced.

Her little followers were immediately infected by her excitement and became thrilled as well.

There’s drama?

Wonderful! It must be amazing!

Feng Zexuan lightened her footsteps and quietly approached the prison cell.

Inside, Wang Mingyun and Wang Mingyue, the twin siblings, were hanging in the center of the room while being brutally whipped.

Their bodies were covered in lash marks.

Their clothes barely covered them.

The sight was horrifying.

Two jailers were vigorously swinging their whips, each strike tearing flesh apart.

Blood splattered everywhere.

“We’re innocent! I didn’t do it! It hurts so much—aaahhh!”

Wang Mingyue cried miserably.

“It was that bastard child framing us! We treated him so well, and he actually colluded with outsiders to harm us!”

Wang Mingyun also wailed furiously.

“We should’ve thrown him back into the mountains to feed the wolves!”

Wang Mingyue gritted her teeth viciously.

“Enough!”

The old master shouted with a trembling voice.

“At a time like this, you’re still blaming others. We brought this upon ourselves!”

A jailer sneered.

“You really won’t cry until you see the coffin, huh?”

“Lord Zhang ordered us to make your lives worse than death!”

As he spoke, he pulled a red-hot iron rod from the brazier.

Slowly approaching the siblings.

“Noooo aaahhh…”

The screams rang out again.

【Hmph, these twins were spoiled rotten in the head!】

【Karma sure comes fast!】

Feng Zexuan watched happily.

【Host, this is exactly what they mean by evil people tormenting evil people!】

【Ding! Villains punished. Gossip points +1000!】

The gossip-loving spectators behind her also watched with boiling excitement.

They whispered among themselves:

“They deserve it! Evil people like them should suffer!”

“This is so satisfying! Watching them suffer feels amazing!”

After enjoying the spectacle to her heart’s content, Feng Zexuan finally led the group away from the prison.

Once outside the dungeon, she discovered that the Zhang residence was even larger than she had imagined.

Without a map, she definitely would’ve gotten lost.

【Damn, this estate is even bigger than the prince manor I’m still renovating!】

【No wonder people say promotion leads to fortune. This is outright massive wealth!】

Whenever they encountered guards or servants along the way, she casually used small pebbles picked up from the ground to knock them out with pinpoint accuracy.

Every pebble struck the target’s acupoint perfectly.

Making them lose consciousness instantly.

She then gestured for her followers to step forward.

And drag the unconscious people into hidden corners.

The entire process flowed smoothly like water.

Clean and efficient.

The followers watched in complete shock.

Their admiration surged endlessly like a roaring river.

“Following the heroine feels unbelievably safe!”

“I declare this will be the most glorious day of my miserable life!”

“I’ll have bragging rights forever! Fighting injustice alongside a fairy!”

“My grandson’s grandson is going to get sick of hearing this story!”

Hearing the excited chatter behind her, Feng Zexuan’s lips twitched slightly.

【System, where exactly are they getting this weird sense of trust and admiration for me?】

【Host, they simply know talent when they see it. They know following you means good things ahead~】

【And that flying pebble skill just now was ridiculously cool, okay?!】

Everyone silently agreed:

That’s right! We fear nothing now!

With the heroine leading us, the world is ours!

【Ding! Innocent beauties detected imprisoned in the rear courtyard of the Zhang residence. Rescue recommended. Large gossip-point reward available!】

【System, I’m seriously starting to suspect you’re not actually a gossip system, but some kind of good deeds system!】

【Why are you always encouraging me to do charitable acts? Wasn’t I supposed to just be a greedy couch potato?】

【Those two things aren’t mutually exclusive…】

【Besides, rescuing people earns gossip points too, so you’re not losing anything!】

At the mention of gossip-point rewards, Feng Zexuan grinned.

【Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!】

Following the map provided by the system, she led the little followers through layer after layer of courtyards.

Eventually, they arrived deep within the rear compound.

Ahead stood a blue-brick tower.

A full thirteen stories tall.

Every level was exquisitely carved and hollowed with intricate designs, practically a work of art.

【This is where Zhang Jian imprisons beauties?】

Feng Zexuan raised a brow.

【That’s right! Host, haven’t you heard the famous line: “In the depths of Bronze Sparrow Terrace, the Two Qiaos are locked away”?】

【This tower was specially built to imprison beauties!】

The little followers also sighed in amazement.

“Wow! This building is so tall! So beautiful!”

“It looks like a heavenly paradise!”

“Let me count… one, two, three… heavens, there are actually thirteen floors?!”

Feng Zexuan accepted a handful of pebbles handed over by one of the followers.

Before the guards could react, her flying stones struck their sleeping acupoints.

They collapsed to the ground limply.

From the prison rooms on the first floor came the sound of women sobbing.

“Please… let us go…”

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here to rescue you.”

Feng Zexuan comforted them softly.

Her voice was warm and reassuring, and the room instantly fell silent.

The imprisoned beauties were overjoyed upon hearing her words.

They all knelt to thank her.

Feng Zexuan quickly helped them up.

【These girls all look so young, yet that beast ruined them like this!】

【That scumbag Zhang Jian wouldn’t be redeemed even if he died ten thousand times!】

She generously exchanged twelve universal keys from the system store.

Then handed them to the followers behind her.

“These are universal keys. They can open any lock.”

“Each of you take responsibility for rescuing the people on one floor. I’ll keep watch from the pavilion over there.”

“If anything urgent happens, come downstairs and get me immediately!”

【Host, you’re so lazy! It’d obviously be faster if you went yourself!】

【Hmph, with this whole group following me around, I feel like Auntie Wang leading children on a spring outing~】

【I came here to eat gossip and enjoy the show, not to become free labor!】

【Besides, letting them participate gives them a greater sense of accomplishment!】

The followers examined the universal keys curiously from every angle.

“Don’t worry, Heroine! We’ll complete the mission!”

“Saving lives is like putting out a fire! We’re heading up now!”

Not long later, Dongzi, who had been assigned to the highest floor, came running toward Feng Zexuan with a flushed face.

He was panting heavily.

His eyes sparkled with excitement and gossip-fueled enthusiasm.

“Miss, there’s an incredible show upstairs! Come quickly!”

The others had also gradually finished their tasks and come downstairs.

The moment they heard there was drama to watch, their eyes lit up instantly.

“Dongzi, what kind of show?! Hurry up and tell us! If it’s exciting enough, we’ll run upstairs again!”

“Is there another huge piece of gossip waiting for us?”
