Shi Bingying was brought to an elegant and unique small building.
The people who led her here stopped, without permission, they were not qualified to go up, and only Shi Bingying had such treatment.
This was not the first time Shi Bingying entered this building, so she walked up to the stairs quickly and entered a room.
This was a huge and spacious room. The moment Shi Bingying entered it, she was stunned by the fiery red color before her.
Red curtains, red mosquito nets, red bed sheets, red quilts, and red people.
E Guantian was lying in bed. He was dressed in a big red robe with a big red flower on his chest and a big red hat on his head. It could be told with one glance that he was going to be a bridegroom.
It seemed that he really was going to be a groom. On the four walls of the room, there were large signs of âhappiness.â
On a red counter by the window, there was a set of red bridal gown. Seeing the bridal gown, Shi Bingying immediately turned pale, because she knew that it was prepared for her.
âMiss Shi, youâre here.âSmiling Tiger was sitting at a table and pouring wine into a cup. The table was filled with fine dishes and wine.
âOh, no, I should call you sister-in-law.âSmiling Tiger revealed a strange smile.
âDonât call me like that. I wonât agree.â Shi Bingyingâs face was frozen, her eyes revealed a determination to die, âKill me.â
When Smiling Tiger heard this, he paused for a moment before putting down the bottle of wine. Then, he sneered and spoke in a strange tone, âMiss Shi, it seems like you do not quite understand what I said yesterday. Then Iâll let you understand a little bit more today.â
âEver since the Evils of Smile and Savage became famous, we have never had the habit of keeping prisoners. If anybody falls into our hands, there is only one way, and that is death. But this time, we made an exception. For you, we left more than ten lives in Serenity House, do you know why? âSmiling Tiger stared at Shi Bingying, his Smiling face contorted and looked extremely dark.
Shi Bingyingâs ice-cold face trembled. She wanted to open her mouth to say something, but in the end, she decided not to and sealed her lips tightly.
âSince you wonât answer, Iâll answer it for you.âSmiling Tiger continued with a strange smile, âBecause my brother has taken a fancy to you. We both have lived for almost a hundred years, and in the one hundred years, there has never been a woman that he has taken a fancy to. You are the first and the last.â Nonsense, in the future it would be impossible for him to have his eyes on another woman, unless if he took a fancy to a ghost girl in the Underworld.
âSo, after his death, I hope to fulfill his last wish, which is to give you a wedding and make you his wife.â Smiling Tiger continued.
âBut he is dead, and I hope you recognize the fact. How can a dead man get married?â Shi Bingying finally could not hold back the rage in her heart and shouted out.
âExactly, because heâs dead, I, as his brother, need to handle this matter for him.â Smiling Tiger suddenly stood up, and looked at E Guantian who was lying on the bed, his face was filled with grief and anger: âLast night when he died, he died with a grievance. I canât let him rest with a grievance on this matter. According to the tradition of where we came from, even dead people can get married.â
âGhost marriage?â Shi Bingyingâs ice-cold pale face turned even paler. Her body trembled, filled with fear and fury.
âYes, ghost marriage.âSmiling Tiger turned to look at Shi Bingying, but seeing Shi Bingyingâs expression, he laughed: âMiss Shi, you can refuse. I donât even need you to agree to it, but to respect my brother, Iâve wasted my time talking to you here for his sake. â
âIf you agree, after the marriage, I will bury you together with my brother. I will release all the people from the Serenity House, and I will also give the Serenity House a huge gift, making it one of the seven great sects. If you donât agree, this matter will be settled in a simple manner. I will kill you and then hold a wedding for you two. The captives of the Serenity House will be your sacrifices and will accompany my brother to heaven. â
âYou, you should go to hell!â Shi Bingying was so angry that her entire body was trembling.
âHahaha âŠâSmiling Tiger laughed wildly, âI donât need you to worry about me going to heaven or hell. You can choose now. Do you agree to it or not? â There was a threat in his tone, a bare threat.
âYou âŠ?â Shi Bingying bit her teeth and clenched her fists. If she could, she would have slapped the perverted evil man in front of her to death with a single palm.
Unfortunately, she did not have the ability and could only be controlled by him. However, she was not reconciled to it. Not to mention that she already had someone she loved in her heart, even if she didnât have one, who would be willing to marry a man that looked like a primitive man? And a dead man as well.
Of course, if there was no one she liked, she might agree to save more than ten of her peers. But now she couldnât, and even if she died, she couldnât. She loved Qin Hao so much, and her love for him was so pure and sacred, that she would not allow this love to be polluted by a single stain.
âSorry, I donât want to!â The answer was so decisive, so sonorous, so powerful, that every sound was loud and clear.
Smiling Tigerâs face stiffened. It was only after a long while that he started twitching. A dense killing intent shot out from his eyes. âArenât you afraid that Iâll kill you and your fellow disciples?â
âEven if you kill me, Iâm not willing to agree.â It was still an unwavering answer, âIf you still want to hold the wedding after you killed me, that is your business. I will be just a corpse then, itâs not me anymore. At least my heart still belongs to myself, to the person I love. â
âThe person you love?â Smiling Tiger paused, âSo you already have someone you love in your heart, is it that young master of the Jinwu Sect, Jin Yang? Haha, I forgot, this time Jin Yang came to marry you. I didnât expect you to be so obsessed with him, but then again, you will have to pay the price for your infatuation.â speaking this, Smiling Tigerâs face darkened. He fiercely slammed the table and shouted towards the outside, âCome!â
When the people waiting outside heard this loud shout, they all jumped in fright and hurriedly rushed up the stairs. Under special circumstances, they could also enter this small building.
Shi Bingying was escorted by the Smiling Tiger to the warehouse where the captives were held.
When the warehouse door opened, the people of the Serenity House saw that the Smiling Tiger personally brought Shi Bingying in, their hearts tensed up, looking at the people who came in with eyes filled with worry and fear, a few of them trying to hide behind others.
As soon as the Smiling Tiger entered, his gazes wiped across all the people like lightning. Seeing that one person who was continually sneaking in, he immediately ordered his lackeys to drag that person out. It was a little girl.
The little girl was pulled out and shouted in panic, âWhat are you doing? Let me go, let me go! Woo woo âŠâ The little girl cried and struggled, but it was useless.
âWhat are you doing?â The leader of the Serenity House, Yi Hui, stood up and asked. She was the leader, if she did not stand out now, how could she continue staying in the Serenity House in the future? What kind of prestige would she have? Besides, if even she didnât dare to step out, who would?
âGo away, old woman.â The man with the crooked mouth who took Shi Bingying away earlier shouted at Yi Hui angrily.
Yi Huiâs face turned green when she was called âold woman.â Considering her age, she was indeed an old woman, but she still maintained the look of the age of 40 or so, she hated it the most when people told her sheâs old.
âYou âŠ!â Yi Hui really wanted to flare up, but in the current situation they were like meat and the enemies like a knife, she did not dare to express her anger.
The man with the crooked mouth saw that Yi Hui didnât dare to do anything to him, so he became even more proud of himself and laughed sinisterly, âOld woman, get out of my sight if you donât want to die.â finished saying that, he dragged the little girl out with his force.
âSave me, Senior! Save me!â The little girl looked at Yi Hui as if she was begging for help, but Yi Hui had no choice but to turn her head away.
Seeing this, Shi Bingying bellowed at the Smiling Tiger, âWhat are you doing? Just come to me. They have nothing to do with this.â
âHehehe.â with a sinister smile, the Smiling Tiger walked in front of the little girl, who was so scared that she desperately tried to retreat while sobbing. However, she was pulled back by the man with the crooked mouth, making it impossible for her to do so.
âLittle girl, are you afraid of death? Heh heh.â Smiling Tiger asked the little girl with an evil smile.
The little girl repeatedly nodded, âYes, yes. Iâm afraid. Woo Woo Woo, donât kill me.â
âHo Ho Ho.â Smiling Tiger revealed his typical smile this time. Ever since E Guantian died, this was the first time he revealed that smiling face that was always hanging on his face before.
âLittle girl, donât be afraid. I have no say in whether or not to kill you, itâs up to this senior sister of yours.â the Smiling Tiger looked at Shi Bingying, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and he said with a threatening tone: âMiss Shi, the life and death of everyone here is in your hands. If you agree to my request, they will live; if you do not, they will die. And this little girl shall be the first to die. â
âSenior Sister, Senior Sister Bingying, save me! Save me! Woo woo, I donât want to die, I donât want to die âŠ!â The little girl was clever, she immediately wailed at Shi Bingying for help.
âYou, youâre really despicable.â Shi Bingying glared as she bit her teeth so hard that her teeth nearly broke.
âHahaha âŠWell said, I am despicable. I became who I am today because of one word, âdespicable.â Iâll ask you one last time. Do you agree or not?â Smiling Tigerâs voice turned into a roar. Killing intent emanated from his body.
âThreatening a woman like this, what kind of a man are you?â somebody among the captives muttered a few words because he couldnât stand the behavior of the Smiling Tiger. The one muttering was a young man. Although he said it with a low voice, he was still heard by the Smiling Tiger.
âDrag him out.â the Smiling Tiger pointed at the muttering man, and the man with the crooked mouth immediately followed his order. With a look, two of his subordinates rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and forcefully dragged the young man out.
âLet me go, let me go! What are you doing? I didnât do anything! Let me go!â The young man shouted, but it was of no use. No one listened to him, and in the end, he was dragged in front of the Smiling Tiger.
With a sinister smile, the Smiling Tiger inched closer to the young man and sinisterly said, âWhat did you say just now? Am I not a man?â
âNo, no, no, I didnât say anything, I didnât say anything.â The young man shook his head repeatedly as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He was so scared that his face became deathly pale.
âGo to hell.â Before the Smiling Tiger finished his sentence, there was a dull thud, and blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.
âAh âŠ!â the crowd started to scream, countless women began to cry.
âNo ââ Shi Bingying shouted in grief and anger.
