He had even cupped his hands to greet the gold statue in all seriousness. There couldn’t be anyone that could act more obsequiously than him.

Qiao Mu nodded and then eyed the others.

Everybody also walked forward and cupped their hands toward the gold statue like the little fatty did. “Greetings to Qiaoqiao’s Aunt-Master.”

Qiao Mu nodded her petite head in satisfaction. Afterwards, she kicked one of the men in black. “Tie them up.”

Less than a minute later, all the men in black were tied to several trees nearby.

Afterwards, Qiao Mu walked up to him while wielding her barbed vine whip. She lifted one person’s chin with the whip and asked coldly, “Who sent you to kill me.”

“I don’t know!” That person grunted.

Qiao Mu gazed at that person icily and lashed his body with the barbed vine whip.

The man in black screamed horrifically in pain.

In the next instant, he felt a pill get flicked into his mouth. He promptly gagged, trying his best to spit out the pill.

Yet Qiao Mu had long flitted to the side and watched his expression change after gagging in vain. She sneered, “Don’t waste your energy. This drug dissolves upon entering the mouth. You want to spit it out? Maybe in your next lifetime.”

That man in black glowered at her and shouted furiously, “You, what do you want to do?”

Qiao Mu didn’t waste her breath on him and walked up to the next man in black. “Who sent you to kill me.”

“I, I-I don’t know.”

“Yo, they’re all pretty tight-lipped.” The little fatty kicked that man in black in the abdomen before prying open the latter’s mouth. “Qiaoqiao, feed him a pill too.”

After the men in black ingested Qiao Mu’s poison, their bodies shook as sweat streamed down their faces.

Soon, the remaining men in black saw the effects of the drug that their companions had ingested.

They all screamed tragically, seemingly better dead than alive. The way they lay against the tree while at their last gasp made it look like they were currently experiencing an ordeal of hellfire. The remaining men in black were apprehensive and couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.

Qiao Mu kicked one of them. “How about it?”

That person had swallowed the poison, and he felt his innards incinerating, as if his internal organs really had been set on fire.

Yet the most horrific thing was that it felt like blades were slicing away at his burnt internal organs after that. That pain and terror really was insufferable.

Qiao Mu swept them a cold glance and walked up to a shuddering lad. She patted his face gently with the vine whip. “Do you know what will happen to them after this? Rest assured, this poison I concocted absolutely won’t kill you before a month is up. It’s just that the pain they experience during this time will be a living hell.”

“Of course, you are men of sacrifice. Since you don’t fear death, you naturally wouldn’t fear pain, right?”

No, no, no! That man in black who she was gently speaking to paled in fear. His whole body shook all over.

“Who sent you to kill me?” Qiao Mu asked gently. However, to the men in black, this gentle voice felt like the iciness coming from the tip of a blade, seeping deep into their bones.

So horrifying!

“It’s, it’s Family Head You!” The man in black blurted out.

However, Qiao Mu hit his face with the vine whip. “You don’t even know how to tell a lie? Do you know what happens to people who lie to me?”
