Chapter 1509: Chapter 1507: The Woman in the Cellar!

Lan Zhengqing nodded with satisfaction, wearing a smile.

But his smile was a kind of warning.

In other words, if anyone dares to mention replacing Qiu Xi’s position in the future, it would be seeking their own doom!

It was also another way of affirming Qiu Xi’s current status.

"Good."

Lan Zhengqing reverted to his usual taciturn self, gazing at the panicked crowd, and merely uttered two words softly.

In his heart, he was still worried about Qiu Xi.

After all, Qiu Xi said she wanted to kill all the women in the cellar. That guy has always followed through on her words, if she was so determined to go, she might cause some trouble.

Oh—

Qiu Xi, that guy, is quite a troublemaker.

Lan Zhengqing didn’t want to see it, after all, he didn’t want to witness that bloody scene, especially when the ones being killed were women he had painstakingly found.

This is his special fetish.

Because he always pretends to be a gentleman in front of everyone, but in reality, he is deeply evil inside.

So the suppressed inner self can only be released here.

He desires women, but due to his status, he can’t do anything too outrageous under the public’s eye; he must maintain his gentlemanly image.

However, here.

In this unknown place, he can truly release himself and do the things he has longed to do but dared not.

To satisfy his wild nature, he collects women everywhere, whether by deceit, or theft, or robbery... bringing them to this place, not touching them but locking them into the cellar, to fulfill his inner curiosity.

The mask of a gentleman has been worn so long that he almost truly believes he is one, truly believes he is a graceful person. Therefore, he can no longer really harm these women.

Lan Zhengqing looked worriedly towards the direction of the cellar.

He let out a long sigh.

Without saying much, he walked into a room, tossed Divine Phoenix onto the bed, without even glancing, and directly turned to walk out the door, slamming the door shut heavily.

"I’m going to check the situation."

"Keep an eye on this woman, if she escapes, none of you will survive."

Lan Zhengqing gestured towards the room behind him, and coldly ordered.

"Yes!"

No one dared to disobey, answering in unison.

Lan Zhengqing headed directly towards the cellar, striding rapidly, with wind at his feet.

By then.

Qiu Xi had already reached the cellar door, with her hands gripping the Immortal Slaying Needle, she kicked the cellar door open.

Inside, it was pitch black.

Immediately came a burst of terrified screams, the darkness filled with women’s fear.

Qiu Xi lit a flame, illuminating the entire cellar.

It was less like a cellar and more like a cage.

Or, a Hell!

Dozens of scantily clad women huddled together, curled up in the corners, gazing at Qiu Xi in horror, shivering.

Qiu Xi squinted her eyes and scanned the cellar coldly.

Filthy.

Squalid.

Pitch black.

Foul stench.

Every disgusting word could describe this small cellar, only five square meters, yet nearly thirty women were crammed inside.

They were kept here like livestock, maybe even raised here!

Eating, drinking, excreting—all resolved within this small space.

The smell inside was suffocating!

However.

These women were either from wealthy families or were noblewomen... essentially privileged, at least well-fed and clothed.

Yet they were captured by Lan Zhengqing and confined in this cramped space, it was utterly unbelievable.

The women’s eyes were still bright but now filled with more fear and dread.

They were powerless, not even capable of resistance.

Seeing Qiu Xi in front of them, they could only look on helplessly, avoid, and tremble.

Clearly, Qiu Xi was just one person, while there were nearly thirty of them, even though they were powerless, if they all surged forward, Qiu Xi would suffer.

Yet.

No one dared move, not even a bit.

Qiu Xi looked at the crowd coldly, a sneer forming on her lips, a disdainful sneer.

In the fiery light, with the Immortal Slaying Needle in her hand, she stepped into the cellar.

"Do you know what I’m here for today?"

The voice boomed and echoed within the cellar.

The women exchanged glances, shaking their heads one after another, with Qiu Xi in front of them, they dared not speak, not even lift their heads to meet her gaze.

"Humph, don’t know? Let me tell you, I am here to kill you."

Calm.

Serene.

Unhurried.

Like a casual chat, without any murderous intent.

Yet, even these words were enough to make the crowd exclaim.

The next second.

The cellar was filled with faint sobbing, which soon turned into crying, and all at once, the women in the cellar started wailing.

"Loathsome! Extremely loathsome! I want to kill you all now, because you all have made the young master lost and forlorn! It’s precisely due to your existence that the young master has become like this!"

"I really want to slaughter you all!"

Qiu Xi bellowed nearly in a roar, eyes wide open, vicious and terrifying.

No woman dared to meet Qiu Xi’s gaze, or even remembered to escape or resist, only crouching on the ground sobbing uncontrollably. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Qiu Xi took a deep breath, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

Suddenly.

She drew the Immortal Slaying Needle from behind her, seemingly ready to act immediately!

The Immortal Slaying Needle was raised high!

Under the blaze’s illumination, it appeared even more menacing and frightening, like two ferocious beasts, opening their bloody mouths, ready for slaughter within the cellar.

But.

With Qiu Xi’s ability, these women wouldn’t survive more than a breath!

Once she acted, they were like living targets, unable to fight back.

However.

Qiu Xi seemed to hesitate!

Her movements were incredibly slow, not acting immediately, as if pondering something.

"Qiu Xi!"

Just then.

Lan Zhengqing’s voice came from behind.

This voice instantly provoked Qiu Xi, her body tensed up, quickly turning around, gripping the Immortal Slaying Needle tightly, glaring at Lan Zhengqing viciously, as if ordering him not to approach!

"Young master, what are you doing in this filthy place?! You’ve never been here before! Previously, whichever woman you wanted, we brought them to you, you’ve never been here! This filth and squalor will lower your status, please leave at once!"

Qiu Xi’s words were all true.

Lan Zhengqing knew of such a cellar, but didn’t know its exact location. Still, it didn’t differ much from what he imagined, so he wasn’t particularly surprised.

"Indeed, with my status, I should not appear in a place like this. But, Qiu Xi, I hope you think about why you want to kill these innocent women."

"Innocent? They are by no means innocent. When they appeared beside you, they already harbored evil thoughts and had a different attitude toward you. Their plight is anything but innocent."

"Fine, since you say that, I have nothing more to say. But Qiu Xi, do you really have to kill these women? I have spent significant effort finding them, killing them just like this is truly a waste."

"I must kill."

Qiu Xi coldly and unambiguously uttered three words.
