Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (5)

This Miss Lin came straight for her.

The original conflict with her...

Simply put, it was encouraged by Ning Yao.

Causing this Miss Lin to hate her and constantly oppose her.

Miss Lin wasn’t afraid of her status at all, she looked her up and down with a cold smile: ”Her Royal Highness the Grand Imperial Princess, I’ve heard you resurrected after death, how impressive.”

Chuzheng politely accepted the compliment: ”Thank you.”

After all, experiencing resurrection isn’t something most people get to do.

”...”

Miss Lin was choked.

This reaction... seems a bit off.

Miss Lin quickly adjusted herself: ”We can’t compare to the Grand Imperial Princess, to have such an encounter.”

Chuzheng’s tone was bland: ”What do you want to say?”

Seeking me out, is it because you envy me?

Can’t you silently envy me?

Interrupting my meal.

Should just deal with it...

Anyway, King’s Account isn’t here.

Chuzheng’s sinister gaze swept over Miss Lin, contemplating the possibility of this decision.

”I don’t want to say anything, just wanted to see the Grand Imperial Princess. I’ve never seen someone resurrected after death... just wondering if it’s human-caused.”

Chuzheng suddenly stood up.

Miss Lin’s voice cut off, her feet involuntarily retreated a step.

Miss Lin’s heart skipped a beat.

In that moment, she felt as if an overwhelming suffocating aura was emanating from her.

She’s just a foolish royal princess.

What’s there to be afraid of?

In a moment, Miss Lin confidently straightened her back: ”The Grand Imperial Princess getting angry now? Did I strike a nerve? There is no such resurrection, the Grand Imperial Princess better not commit treason!”

”Whether I committed treason or not, I don’t know, but...”

”Ah!”

Miss Lin’s body tilted, as Chuzheng grabbed her arm and pressed her onto the empty table beside her.

Miss Lin’s face landed on the table, a sharp pain surged in her shoulder.

The force pressing on her was so strong, Miss Lin couldn’t break free.

Chuzheng continued the previous sentence: ”Defying authority, your mother didn’t teach you manners?”

Miss Lin: ”My mother is the Prime Minister, you...”

”Let me teach you on behalf of your mother.”

”Ah...”

Miss Lin was thrown to the ground by Chuzheng, clutching her aching arm, glaring hatefully at Chuzheng.

How did this woman suddenly become so powerful?

Miss Lin wasn’t known for outstanding martial arts skills, but her skills definitely surpassed the idle Grand Imperial Princess.

Yet, just now she couldn’t even respond as she was attacked.

Feeling humiliated, anger rose rapidly in Miss Lin.

She slapped the ground and jumped up, directly attacking Chuzheng.

From her contemplation to her attack, it was merely a fleeting moment.

Their clash caused Miss Lin’s people and Mu Mian to scream almost simultaneously.

”Your Highness!”

”Miss!”

-

Bang—

Miss Lin crashed onto a table, which shattered in response.

Miss Lin held her forehead, her hands warm with blood flowing down her cheeks.

She lifted her hand for a closer look, her expression instantly turned a shade of green.

She had actually lost the fight!

How is it possible!

She knew the Grand Imperial Princess’s capabilities.

How did she suddenly become so powerful?

”Miss...” Miss Lin’s people tried to approach.

Chuzheng pressed Miss Lin back down as she tried to rise, her toe on her chest.

Miss Lin found herself completely powerless.

Chuzheng slightly bent her long legs, her elbow resting on her knee, leaning forward to look at her.

Glory Number was nervously speaking to her.

[Miss, don’t kill, that’s not good, your task is... to squander money.]

I want to kill her.

[Miss, n... no, don’t.] Glory Number weakly pleaded.

She harbors ill will towards me, why shouldn’t I finish her?

[You... you could crush her with money.] Glory Number timidly suggested.

No!

[...]

This miss is terrifying!

Violent and fierce.

Completely unlike what King’s Account said.

Glory Number felt it couldn’t manage.

Chuzheng heard Glory Number’s pitiful sobbing and paused.

No!

Why are you crying?

I’m not killing you.

[Sobbing...]

Chuzheng held back her frustration, looked at the ground at Miss Lin.

”You dare try again!” Miss Lin strained to keep her composure: ”My mother is the Prime Minister!”

”Oh.” Chuzheng’s tone was flat: ”You’ve defied authority, shown me disrespect, can your mother shield you? Is your mother planning to rebel?”

Miss Lin’s expression drastically changed.

”What nonsense are you saying!”

The words rebellion always provoke a drastic response.

”Since not a rebellion, from whom did you get the courage to disrespect a royal princess?”

The Prime Minister’s power in the court was substantial, and the Empress frequently favored this Prime Minister.

The Grand Imperial Princess was favored, but for the younger generation, unless it was an irresolvable situation, incidents brought up only resulted in some education.

So Miss Lin wasn’t afraid at all.

Ning Yao encouraged the original owner to fall out with Miss Lin, cutting off any possibility of Prime Minister Lin’s support...

”I... I didn’t mean that!” Miss Lin’s look sour: ”Don’t slander me!”

She never meant it just now.

Rebellion is not something anyone dares to speak of loosely.

Chuzheng turned her head to the dazed Mu Mian: ”Go find a rope.”

Mu Mian instinctively went to find a rope.

Her mind was occupied with thoughts of how the princess suddenly became so powerful, wondering if she was really possessed, and if she was still the princess.

”What do you want to do!?” Miss Lin’s voice rose.

Chuzheng ignored her questioning and without expression, tied her up, causing Miss Lin to roar with anger.

Seeing their lady treated this way, Miss Lin’s people tried to approach and rescue her.

Chuzheng grabbed sharp shards from a broken bowl on the table and aimed them at Miss Lin’s neck: ”Anyone dare try to come forward.”

The cold and calm voice was like a chill wind of a snowy night, sweeping into the hearts of everyone present.

Miss Lin’s body stiffened.

She could feel, the murderous coldness from Chuzheng, she would really act.

The Grand Imperial Princess before her, was nothing like the previous one.

At least, her personality seemed different.

Miss Lin immediately commanded her people: ”Don’t come, don’t come...”

Chuzheng dragged Miss Lin to the window, pushed it open, and pressed her against the edge.

The second floor wasn’t high, but at this moment, with Miss Lin being held, a sense of fear surged in her heart.

She was just about to plead for mercy when Chuzheng pushed her out.

”Ah—”

-

Suddenly, the vendors and citizens on the street heard a loud scream.

Turning their heads, they saw an object falling from the second floor window of the tavern.

Just as it was about to reach the ground, it abruptly halted, the air taut with tightened rope.

The crowd looked closely.

Impressively, someone was tied to the rope, now hanging upside-down.

The entire street sank into an eerie silence.

Wh-what happened!!

Miss Lin’s head was just a finger’s length from the ground.

Any lower, and she’d be landing on the ground, bleeding profusely.

Her heart pounded, clearly sounding in her ear, as if it would leap out.

Blood flowed backwards, rushing to her head, turning her face bright red, making breathing difficult.

Uncomfortable, scared, terrified, and resentful.

How dare she treat me like this!
