The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 411 Let's Calculate the Accounts

The night was as dark as ink, and a cold wind howled.

In the Bianliang Imperial Palace, the dilapidated doors and windows, damaged by hand grenades, creaked in the wind.

Qiu Ziyue and Zhu Wen stood face to face, a suffocating tension permeating between them.

Qiu Ziyue's eyes were cold and resolute as she slowly lifted the grenade.

"This is the last chance, Zhu Wen."

Her voice was deep but threatening.

"Release those girls, or else..."

However, Zhu Wen merely sneered, showing no sign of being intimidated.

"You think I'm afraid of you? A little brat like you, you dare to negotiate with me?"

He raised the corners of his mouth, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Your tricks are too childish, Qiu Ziyue."

Despite Zhu Wen's provocation, Qiu Ziyue remained steadfast.

However, at that moment, another voice came:

"Sister, I'm here. I'm here to protect you."

To prevent Zhu Wen from recognizing him, Du Xiao, wearing a mask, approached Qiu Ziyue.

"Hey kid, what are you doing here again? What are you doing here? Go home."

Qiu Ziyue roared.

"Sister, don't send me away. I know where the girls are hiding. I'll let them out, and you can play here."

Du Xiao finished speaking and walked away.

Qiu Ziyue and Zhu Wen continued their standoff.

She raised the grenade high, preparing to throw it.

But at that very moment, a voice rang out:

"Your Majesty, run! Grenades can blow people to pieces!"

It was Tao Akun, he said, sitting on the ground, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Tao Akun, are you crazy? Zhu Wen is using you as a pawn, and you're still protecting him?"

Qiu Ziyue asked.

"What is the purpose of life? It is nothing more than the pursuit of dignity. What is there to fear in death? It is nothing more than the desire to die a swift and painless death."

Zhu Wen gave me the dignity I wanted, even if it was fake, I still enjoyed it.

Tao Akun shook his head with a wry smile.

"Alright then, Tao Akun, and Zhu Wen, I'm not really Tao Ling'er."

But I've learned the Tao family's mystical arts; don't you want to know why?

Tao Akun and Zhu Wen immediately spoke with great interest:

"Why? Who are you?"

"That's a long story. I come from a country more than 1000 years in the future."

I am a soul that has transmigrated into Tao Ling'er's body; the real Tao Ling'er has long since passed away.

“This sounds utterly absurd,” Zhu Wen pondered.

“Impossible, this is impossible, I’ve never heard of soul-transfer,” Tao Akun said.

Qiu Ziyue continued:

"Zhu Wen, I can't escape today, but I have one last request," Qiu Ziyue said.

“Qiu girl, tell me about it,” Zhu Wen replied.

"I want to settle a score with Tao Akun before I die. You don't object, do you?"

"Miss Qiu, you've calculated it all. Tao Akun is badly injured and has no further use to you."

Do whatever you want, I'll give you half an incense stick's time to settle this score.

"it is good"

After Qiu Ziyue finished speaking, she grabbed Tao Akun, who was sitting on the ground, by the collar and angrily said:

"You are not only the culprit who killed Tao Ling'er's entire family, but also the murderer who harmed young girls."

You are utterly inhuman; keeping you alive is nothing but a curse.”

Tao Akun, rendered helpless by the grenade, hurriedly pleaded with Zhu Wen:

"Your Majesty, this girl is lying to you. Please have the archers shoot her dead immediately, otherwise she will surely become your formidable enemy in the future."

Upon seeing this, Zhu Wen laughed loudly:

"You, Tao Akun, are indeed capable, but your methods are far too perverse. If you gain power, the world will surely descend into chaos."

And I will also perish by your blade, so go in peace.

"Your Majesty, save me! I can still lend you a hand..." Tao Akun cried out.

Zhu Wen ignored Tao Akun.

Without a word, Qiu Ziyue took out her knife and swiftly slashed Tao Akun's neck.

Tao Akun fell to the ground.

Qiu Ziyue sheathed her knife, clasped her hands together, and said:

"Ling'er, rest in peace. I have already killed your true enemy."

After Qiu Ziyue finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes, as if she was feeling Ling'er's soul being released.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Wen.

She then picked up the grenade and said calmly:

"Now, we can all perish together."

Upon seeing this, Zhu Wen burst into laughter:

“Qiu Ziyue, I’m certain you wouldn’t dare detonate that grenade. You’re not that stupid.”

Qiu Ziyue took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Qiu Ziyue and Zhu Wen stood face to face, confronting each other.

Zhu Wen looked at Qiu Ziyue with great interest and asked:

"Are you really from over a thousand years in the future? What will that future world be like?"

Qiu Ziyue sneered.

"What the future holds is none of your business. I transmigrated here thinking I could live a peaceful life, but I never expected that the people would suffer so much."

Zhu Wen pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Now that you've learned the Tao family's mystical arts, why don't you use them to escape?"

Qiu Ziyue shook her head.

"Although I have learned the Tao family's secret techniques, I must also have the way of martial arts. The secret techniques are for upholding justice."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wen frowned slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.

He looked around and saw that Tao Akun was dead, and there was no longer any threat.

He turned to Qiu Ziyue and said:

"You are indeed an extraordinary woman. Although I do not believe in your so-called 'soul transmigration' theory..."

But your actions today raise questions, and I do not wish to kill you.

Qiu Ziyue snorted coldly.

"Don't pretend. I know what you're thinking. You're only afraid of my strength, that's why you're unwilling to kill me rashly."

But don't forget, even if I live, I will not be your ally, much less an accomplice to evil.

Zhu Wen laughed heartily.

"You are quite frank. However, I have a suggestion you might want to consider."

Qiu Ziyue stared at him coldly, "What suggestion?"

"I can spare your life for now, as long as you agree to stay in the palace and pass on all the Tao family's secret techniques to me."

If you refuse, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

A glint of greed flashed in Zhu Wen's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Do you think I would agree? The Tao family's secret techniques are not something that can be taught casually."

Besides, how could I possibly help you conquer the world and plunge more people into the flames of war?

Zhu Wen's face darkened.

"It seems you are determined not to cooperate. Very well, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

He had barely finished speaking when he was about to wave his hand to order the archers to fire their arrows.

However, at that moment, a clear, crisp voice came from afar:

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl dressed in white walking slowly towards them.

She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but her eyes and brows revealed a maturity beyond her years.

Zhu Wen frowned and asked:

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs?"

The little girl stopped and looked up at Zhu Wen, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority:

"Who I am is not important, but if you dare to hurt her, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhu Wen frowned. "Nonsense! How dare a mere maid threaten me? Guards—"

"and many more!"

Qiu Ziyue suddenly interrupted.

She gazed at the little girl, a strange sense of familiarity welling up inside her.

The child's eyes reminded her of Ling'er's appearance when she was alive.

"You know her?"

Zhu Wen asked in confusion.
