[COMPLETE] Transmigrated Author: The Quiet Plum

Chapter 38: The Fool

Warning: Some violence ahead
---

The maiden approached the assassin who was struggling against Si Hai's tails. Her action was mechanical as she tore the mask away.

What was underneath could make anyone shudder. The man's mouth was sealed. Or rather, his lips were sewed together in a crude manner.

"Hnggg... nghhh... ngggh!"

Huang Qiaoli only paused for a little. This kind of sealing secrets wasn't new to her so she could cup his face without feeling anything. The man's terrified eyes were more pronounced now.

"Afraid?" Her gaze was chilly. "Pathetic."

Her fingers trailed the zigzagged threads on his mouth traveling down to his neck.

"If you're out to kill someone, make sure not to let them see this expression. It makes me disappointed and I can't even gather information from you... Die."

Her hand didn't tighten around his neck. Instead, she held both sides of the assassin's head and snapped it to one side. A sickening crack was heard.

One must know that a trained assassin of Crimson Trail had a tough physique. If she didn't possess enough strength, she couldn't snap their head like that. This just showed that Huang Qiaoli had above average physical constitution to match her brain capacity.

It wasn't at the level of her metal body from the past but for now, it was enough. She knew that she could still improve her physique.

Looking at her hand, she fisted it. She thought she could interrogate the assassin but looking at his state, he was useless. So a wave of bubbling anger was starting to rise inside Huang Qiaoli.

If she only trained this body of flesh since she was young, Old Shang wouldn't be killed by some trash. It was because she wasted fourteen years idling away, thinking that there was no danger.

Si Hai whined to catch Huang Qiaoli's attention when he saw her just standing there. But he stiffened under her gaze as her golden eyes gave off the illusion that they were glowing.

Huang Qiaoli felt that it was easy to kill people. If those times, she had the power to kill... would Old Shang, Niang and Ba Ba-

Plop, plop, plop.

Her thoughts scattered as raindrops fell one by one at first. Then, rain poured heavily the next second.

"W-wasn't it... sunny just a moment ago?"

She held her open palm under the rain. It felt cold just like the hollow in her chest. As she stood unmoving, heaven's tears washed over the earth, the blood, and the impurities.

Not too far from the two, people were searching the forest too.

"Young master, there's a commotion there from earlier." One of the Mao clan's trained guards approached their San shao ye.

>third young master<

Mao Zhu was tasked to monitor the area outside the capital. It had been two days and this was the only time there had been a disturbance in the forest.

"Let's head over there!" Mao Zhu dispatched his men.

Not yet knowing of the approaching nuisance, Huang Qiaoli had a dark thought of recreating her metal body but dismissed it right away when she remembered a pale-eyed being.

How would he react if she turned herself into a robot again? Could she even do it in this feudal era? She wondered if she could torture herself like that again.
