Hu Liena finally succumbed to Lin Xiao's oppressive might.
Her initial attempt to escape was based on a slim hope, but in reality, the moment Lin Xiao called out to her, Hu Liena knew her fate was no longer her own.
This terrifying Ghost Face Flame Monarch.
The impression he left on Hu Liena, besides being unfathomable, was his mysteriousness!
The other meaning of Ghost Face Flame Monarch,
Serving a monarch is like accompanying a tiger!
Hu Liena knew it was foolish, but she couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart and cautiously asked Lin Xiao:
"Flame Monarch, there's something I don't understand."
"Why exactly do you want me to follow you? You're not interested in my body, and your strength doesn't require cooperation with me."
"What's more, I'm involved in a big trouble. I really can't figure this out."
Lin Xiao: "..."
He glanced at Hu Liena, swallowing the words about her being bait.
After a slight pause for thought, he said calmly:
"As you said, you are a big trouble, and I am a person who loves trouble the most. Unfortunately, there was a lot of trouble at first, but now trouble avoids me from afar."
These were also Lin Xiao's secondary considerations.
Hu Liena understood.
She didn't doubt Lin Xiao's words, and the confusion in her heart was instantly resolved.
Lin Xiao had been on a killing spree in Slaughter City for a month, winning 15 consecutive matches in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Almost every time he attacked, it was a crushing victory, and everyone knew this terrifying newcomer.
The challenge matches arranged by the Hell Slaughter Arena were decreasing, and every time Lin Xiao went out, Fallen Ones would flee from afar upon hearing of him, severely affecting the normal "supply."
For the weak, trouble represents danger;
But for the strong, trouble symbolizes fun.
For such a terrifying freak, having some quirks was normal. If he wasn't a little twisted, how could he prove he was a beast of Slaughter City?
Hu Liena extended her hand quite seriously and said to Lin Xiao:
"Alright, Ghost Face Flame Monarch, let's officially cooperate!"
Lin Xiao looked at her strangely and retorted:
"Who said we're cooperating? Do you know what it means to repay a favor?"
"From now on, you'll be responsible for gathering intelligence, going out to attract attention, and also handling my daily diet and living arrangements. These are your tasks."
Hu Liena's beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.
"I have to serve you in your daily life too?"
Lin Xiao said frankly:
"Miss Demonic Fox, it seems you still haven't integrated into the life of Slaughter City and are still maintaining the naivety of the outside world. I need to remind you of something."
"Everything I say to you is not a request or a discussion, it's an order!"
"Your identity is not that of a collaborator. As for whether you're an employee or a maid or something similar, whichever you prefer is fine."
Hu Liena's purple eyes held a hint of coldness, but then she suddenly thought of something and smiled radiantly.
"Lord Flame Monarch truly trusts me. It's just that you're entrusting your diet and daily life to me. I'm willing to serve Lord Flame Monarch, but aren't you afraid I'll poison or assassinate you?"
Lin Xiao glanced at the smiling Hu Liena.
He said in a calm tone:
"The reason I'm letting you handle my daily life, besides making the best use of resources, is a very important one: I'm utterly fed up with the idiots in Slaughter City who can't even make colorless and odorless poisons."
"It severely affects the taste of the food."
"Not eating well ruins my entire day's mood."
"What you need to do is make me happy every day."
After a pause, Lin Xiao said unhurriedly:
"Of course, you can choose to assassinate or poison me, but you only get one chance. After that, I will skin your fox hide and make a leather coat."
The words, spoken as calmly as if discussing everyday matters, sent a chill down Hu Liena's spine.
The smile on her face froze, and she averted her gaze, wanting to speak but falling silent for a long time.
After a while, her muffled voice was heard.
"I understand."
...
In Slaughter City, blood was hard currency.
It was also the only currency in this paradise of sin.
With just a glass of Bloody Mary, you could enjoy a lavish feast and embrace those alluring beauties. Yet, few knew where the vast amounts of fresh blood from powerful Soul Masters ultimately went.
In the core area of Slaughter City.
In the "interior" that ordinary residents couldn't reach, above a massive Blood Pool, floated a huge mound of flesh, greasy and disgusting.
However, in Slaughter City, where human blood was so expensive, to possess an entire Blood Pool, this fat man's power was truly considerable.
The fat man floated on the Blood Pool, greedily drinking the fresh blood from time to time, revealing a look of satisfaction. The tumor on his back twitched, as if something was wriggling inside.
A scantily clad beauty ran in from outside, saying in a panic:
"Lord Feng! Something has happened!"
Ma Hongjun's expression changed, and his eyes turned cold:
"What is it?"
The twitching tumor on his back became still.
The beauty's expression was terrified, her eyes revealing fear.
"It's the Ghost Face Flame Monarch! Lord Feng, we were about to succeed, but that fox woman ran into the area where the Ghost Face Flame Monarch is!"
"We only know that the four hunters chased after her and never came out again! We don't know what happened to that fox woman, and no one dares to investigate the Ghost Face Flame Monarch!"
Ma Hongjun was used to the fear in the beauty's eyes, and he would even feel smug and proud because of it, his twisted psychology greatly satisfied.
But today, the fear in the beauty's eyes was even greater, yet it wasn't because of him.
Ma Hongjun was naked, a disgusting mound of flesh seemed to have wriggled to the shore, and at the same time, the mound of flesh spoke, his voice lewd and filled with rage.
"That bitch has tested my bottom line again and again. When I catch her, I'll make sure to fuck her to death!"
"Damn it, and that damn Ghost Face Flame Monarch, he's just a newcomer who's only been in Slaughter City for a month, is he really worth you being so afraid?"
Ma Hongjun sat on the chair with a wicked smile.
He motioned for the beauty to come forward, then pressed down on her head, making it bob up and down.
The beauty smiled fawningly, serving him diligently.
Ma Hongjun suddenly asked:
"You're afraid of that Ghost Face Flame Monarch, but not of me?"
The beauty mumbled:
"This servant's feelings for Lord Feng are love!"
Ma Hongjun suddenly grabbed the beauty's neck, causing her to gradually suffocate, her face turning from red to purple, and finally, with a cracking sound, her neck was brutally snapped.
Ma Hongjun looked at the lingering fear in the beauty's eyes, which was far greater than the fear she had for the Ghost Face Flame Monarch just now, and nodded in satisfaction.
He muttered:
"Ghost Face Flame Monarch? What a strange newcomer, in just one month, he's carved out a reputation as a regional overlord, and that strange flame..."
As soon as he mentioned fire, Ma Hongjun thought of Lin Xiao.
But he was very clear that Lin Xiao's fire was the same Evil Fire as his, and even if it had transformed, it was still pure and ultimate Phoenix Fire, not this Soul Devouring Fire.
He hesitated several times, and finally sneered:
"I don't care what kind of powerful dragon you are crossing the river!"
"When you get here, if you're a dragon, you have to coil, and if you're a tiger, you have to lie down!"
"My foster father and I are the supreme rulers of this Slaughter City! All the money, blood, and women are mine!"
