The beastman was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he crawled back to the village, delivering this news to the big boss.
Before long, a team led by a tall and sturdy beastman was coming down the mountain road in a grand procession.
This beastman had short, jet-black hair slicked back, a wild and handsome face with bronze skin, a lean and muscular build with clearly defined muscles like coiled rocks, a necklace of beast teeth around his neck, a wide-open collar revealing a large strong chest, and even some sexy chest hair, absolutely casual and unrestrained.
They had not yet reached their destination when they stepped right into traps buried in the ground in advance.
Whooshā
The leader, the big boss, was inverted and hung from a tree by ropes.
Several other beastmen fell into a pit.
The pit was full of spikes, not enough to take their lives but definitely enough to make them suffer!
From below came cries and screams of cursing.
"Damn it, who did this? It hurts like hell!"
"Damn it, why is there a beast clamp there? Whoās so heartless, ouch, my butt hurts so much!"
Luo Fei knew they had been set up, cursing silently to himself: How embarrassing!
But thinking such small tricks could trap him, how naive!
"Bang!"
His muscles swelled, instantly breaking the chains, and he concentrated his superpower in his palm to shoot towards a certain direction.
Precisely where Shen Tang and her men were hiding!
Shen Tangās face changed suddenly behind the tree, never expecting that the Black Wind Villageās big boss had early ninth-rank superpowers, no wonder he acted so arrogantly!
Luckily, Lu Xiao had recently advanced to ninth-rank, conjuring a wind wall to deflect the attack, charging forward with his men to engage the Black Wind Village people in battle.
After dozens of rounds, Lu Xiao successfully defeated the big boss, pulling out customized chains and handcuffs to restrain him to the ground.
Shen Tang emerged from behind the tree, looking at this group of bandits who walked into the trap voluntarily, she taunted deliberately, "Do you dare to rob the royal grain with just this little skill? You must have eaten bearās heart and leopardās guts; remember to be smarter in your next life."
Luo Fei looked at the beautiful female walking over, his face darkening, gritting his teeth, "Itās you!"
With a fierce look, he seemed eager to viciously bite her apart!
Shen Tang walked leisurely to the manās side, tapping his wild and gloomy handsome face, chuckling, "You dare show this expression knowing who I am? If you were obedient, maybe Iād spare you lightly, but with this murderous look, youāre in a rush to see King Yama? To put on a face for him?"
"Do with me as you please, stop pretending! Hah, really makes me sick!" Saying this, the man spat, hitting her.
Shen Tangās face turned dark, wanting to kill him.
Lu Xiao and others took out firearms, aiming at his forehead, waiting for Shen Tangās command to shoot.
The system hurriedly spoke, [Wait a moment host, donāt be quick to act, this beastman has an extremely outstanding talent, heās an S-level beastman, itād be a pity to kill him just like that!]
Shen Tang froze, this rough mountain bandit leader had such high talent? Same ability as Xiao Jin and others? No wonder he had a ninth-rank capability in such a poor mountain valley.
"Damn system, where did so many S-level beastmen come from, you must have detected wrong, thereās no such character in the original narrative."
[The system can currently detect only up to S-level. The detection wonāt be wrong, besides, in chaotic times heroes emerge, host. If he hadnāt met you today, this guy would be a local tyrant in the future, appearing as a new character in the original narrative long after the Empireās collapse, also part of Female Master Shen Qingliās harem, providing significant support.] The system started its usual work, suggesting slyly, [This man has both looks and a strong body. The host may want to collect him in advance?]
"..." Shen Tang had no feelings for this village big boss, this brute looked like a bodybuilding champion, certainly not within her aesthetic.
The Beast Husband was definitely impossible to accept, but this guy was quite suitable to be used as a bodyguard and subordinate.
Indeed, the Empire severely lacked high-level beastmen currently, if he could be made loyal to the Empireās cause, it would be more meaningful than killing him outright.
Moreover, Shen Tang thought of Shen Qingliās Nine Lives Cat Life Chart, her heart sank.
Now Shen Qingli should only have the last line of destiny left; surely she would highly need high-level S-ranked beastmen. Presumably, that sideās damn system would soon guide her to attract this Black Wind Village big boss, then who knows how much turmoil will ensue, canāt let the damn female lead succeed.
While Shen Tang was thinking, the big boss kept cursing non-stop.
Lu Xiao couldnāt listen anymore, tilting his head to look to her for instructions, "Female Master, what to do with these bandits? Kill them or send them to jail first."
"Hold on." Shen Tang looked at the big boss, "Whatās your name?"
The man glared at him harshly, yelled angrily, "Laozi doesnāt change name whether sitting or standing, Luo Fei, open your eyes and ears wide, so when your head falls one day, youāll know who killed you, this dog emperor!"
"Presumptuous!" Lu Xiaoās face turned dark, wanting to act, stopped by Shen Tang shaking her head.
Shen Tang suddenly was not angry anymore, curious why this man hated her so, his tone matching that of a certain black fan back then.
"Those with vision will know heroes. Youāre tied here, and I could take your life anytime. Where do you get the courage to speak such words to me?"
Shen Tang sat leisurely on the manās back, crossing her legs, full of insult.
She ignored the more unpleasant curses by her ear, smilingly looking at Luo Fei, negotiating, "How about this, call me master, and Iāll let you go. Maybe youāll still have a chance to rise again."
"Fat chance, kill me, but Iāll never say those wordsāah! Damn!"
Shen Tang plucked one of his chest hairs.
She blew it away casually, vanishing without a trace, "Or fulfilling an old promise? Didnāt you want to livestream eating poop before all the Empireās citizens face? The Black Wind Village Mountain King surely is not a person who breaks promises; otherwise... shall we complete this promise now?"
The bandits tied on the ground were shocked, whispering.
"What? The leader mentioned livestreaming eating poop? Is that true?"
"Haha, I remember seeming to hear the leader say it before, while watching some livestream back then."
"Never thought the leader had such a hobby, really knowing faces but not hearts..."
Luo Fei heard the whispers, his face shameful and furious, red like dripping blood, veins jumping on his forehead, "A bunch of idiots, shut up for Lao Tzu!"
Shen Tang seeing Luo Feiās reaction, knew her guess was right.
Shen Tang spoke easily, "Of course, thereās also a third option, submit to me and serve the Empire."
Lu Xiao, "Female Master, no need for more words, their actions violate the Empireās law, if they wonāt submit, theyāll be executed publicly to serve as an example!"
