Bowing her head affectionately as she stroked those knives, Lin Yuan said in the softest and sweetest voice, "Tsk tsk, be good, my little friends, I shall let you savor the most delicious and freshest, blood!"
As soon as the word "blood" was spoken, Lin Yuan suddenly shifted her gaze to Widow Qiao's face, startling Widow Qiao into crying out instinctively!
"Ah! Ghost! Help!"
While screaming, Widow Qiao stumbled backward like a defeated stray dog, her legs flailing. Her daughter Huai Hua immediately stepped forward and embraced her, demanding, "You ruthless and heartless woman! Why did you scare my mother?"
Ruthless and heartless?
Lin Yuan chuckled and tilted her head, saying, "Ruthless and heartless? I was merely speaking, where was the ruthlessness? Everyone, please judge, was I ruthless?"
The crowd of onlookers immediately shook their heads and chorused, "Not ruthless at all, compared to the stepmother who sells her daughters into the brothel, you are a fairy!"
