The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 1037 - 1033: Exposed

Lord Hu has not yet appeared.

If the auction ends and Lord Hu still hasn’t appeared, those people will use force, and she’ll just throw herself to death.

A bunch of beasts.

Xin Lin cursed in the dark.

That guy Mu Chen, he looks decent in normal times. Surely, he wouldn’t do something so shameless?

"Ha~"

Mu Chen let out a dry laugh.

"Tu Suxia, do you take me for a fool? Of these seven women, only one is somewhat alert. The other six are all dazed, like wooden blocks. You want me to spend a fortune to bring back a group of wooden blocks. Do you think I’m easily deceived, or do you think everyone here is easily deceived?"

The guests in the hall were in an uproar.

Tu Suxia’s expression also froze.

"Mu San, what do you mean by that? These ladies are renowned courtesans of the Taoyao Pavilion, skilled in singing and dancing. Several of them are still official. If you don’t like them, you can simply choose not to buy. Why speak here to insult people?"

Tu Suxia’s words carried hints of dissatisfaction, but there was more unease.

Could it be that Mu Chen has figured something out?

Not many people know about the matter with opium.

As long as the drug addiction doesn’t flare up.

Even a master of medicine might not be able to detect it. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

There’s no reason why Mu Chen would know.

Tu Suxia forced a smile.

"I heard that Taoyao Pavilion was involved in a scandal before. The former head chef, Yang Su, was convicted and imprisoned for selling poisonous Longevity Peach Buns. The poison used was a rare one called opium."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, a jade-colored bottle appeared in his hand.

He opened the bottle and threw it down.

With a "clang" sound, a fine powder spilled on the ground from the bottle.

A faint fragrance, somewhere between lotus and osmanthus, spread out.

The seven beauties standing there, upon seeing the powder, showed a look of madness in their previously dull eyes.

They lunged at it like starving mad dogs, trying to snatch the powder.

"This..."

Guests were increasingly shocked.

"Mu San, please, Mu San, save us! Master Chen forced us to ingest large amounts of opium, making us addicted. He also raped me! Taoyao Pavilion doesn’t belong to him at all! He killed Master Ji and forced Xin Lin to leave. Before Master Ji died, he clearly handed over half the ownership of Taoyao Pavilion to Xin Lin."

Seeing this, the oiran’s knees gave way, and she knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you crazy woman!"

Seeing the situation, Master Chen’s face changed.

With a look from him, several guards moved in, attempting to drag the oiran away.

As soon as those two guards touched the oiran.

There were two screams, and their arms broke on contact, blood flowing freely.

The guests only saw a blur; Xin Lin, sitting nearby, felt a shadow flash before her eyes.

Mu Chen stood with folded arms, shielding the oiran behind him.

The oiran was so frightened her face was pale.

Tu Suxia was grim, while the other guests looked astonished.

"What, do you intend to kill to silence?"

Mu Chen, tall and jade-like, stood with a frosty expression on his handsome face, intimidating to behold.

Earlier, when he attacked, no one even saw how he moved.

As expected of someone from Fengdong, his skills were indeed mysterious and unpredictable.

The guests looked at Mu Chen with eyes full of reverence.

"Mu San. Could there be some misunderstanding? I didn’t know these beauties were poisoned with opium."

Tu Suxia pulled at his lips, giving a dry laugh.
