Chapter 498: A Euphoric Assault

The four porters were each more scrawny and frail than the other, and they shivered from the cold winter winds.

As Qiao Mu observed them from on top of the tree, her expression turned slightly peculiar.

It was for no reason other than that there was an old acquaintance or hers among these four people.

If not for the small birthmark that showed after the person raised his arms, Qiao Mu really wouldn’t have even recognized him.

He was little fatty Zhou Tao, the son of the rich Zhou family in Qiaotou Village. In the past, he was so pudgy that he looked like a small calf. She really couldn’t have imagined that he would shrivel up into a rack of spare ribs now.

At that time, little fatty Zhou Tao had been the top tyrant of Qiaotou Village. Wherever he went, he would be followed by two to three lackeys, who would hold up an umbrella over him, or fan him, or present tea or water to him subserviently.

But now?

He no longer had that overbearing air about him, not to mention his missing lackeys. Little fatty Zhou Tao had actually succumbed to becoming a porter that waited upon others. By the looks of it, he was also that plump woman’s slave.

This was truly a case of being toyed with by fate.

“Useless trash!” The woman swore while sitting down under the tree. She took out two white mantous with a flip of her fingers.

It was only when Qiao Mu glanced down that she discovered that this woman who was like a fat ball was also a level-four mystic cultivator.

The four porters swallowed their nonexistent saliva as they yearningly watched the rotund woman chomping on her mantou with relish.

The woman didn’t have the slightest intention of sharing. When she saw the four pairs of staring eyes, she even glared back at Zhou Tao and demanded, “Where’s the water?”

Zhou Tao undid the water sack hanging from his belt and handed it over to the woman respectfully.

The woman took a swig and smacked her lips before leaning against the tree with half-lidded eyes. Before long, she actually fell asleep just like that.

At this time, Zhou Tao pulled out a saber from the underside of the palanquin and shouted at the three other hesitating porters, “What are you hesitating for? Once we slaughter her and loot all the items on her body, we’ll be free again.”

“But she’s a mystic cultivator! While we’re only normal people.”

“I spiked the water that she drank just now, so she’s already fallen asleep!” Zhou Tao glared resentfully at his three companions, having expected better from them. “You don’t dare to make a move even with such an opportunity? Then you all are really doomed to be a heap of trash!”

Those three porters swallowed their saliva.

“Even if we kill her, we won’t be able to take her food. She put it all in her inner world!”

“Who cares! I’m so starved that my eyes are seeing red!” Zhou Tao bellowed loudly and used the saber to hack at the plump woman beneath the tree.

The saber landed on her neck, but the blunt blade was unable to chop the woman’s head off in one blow and only sprayed blood everywhere.

The woman opened her eyes while holding her neck in pain. This scared the other three porters that were charging over into falling butt-first onto the ground.

On the contrary, Zhou Tao kept slashing at the other party’s neck with red eyes. His viciousness scared the other three into trembling, not daring to say another word.

“You want to beat and scold me every day! You want to starve me every day! I’m also a human being! I’m not your f*cking livestock!” With bloodshot eyes, Zhou Tao hacked at the woman’s neck with all his might.

It was only after he hacked no less than a dozen times that the rotund woman finally became motionless and collapsed heavily to the ground.

The three porters were frightened into frantically scrambling into hiding. Only Zhou Tao had the guts to check the woman’s breathing. It was only after he confirmed that she kicked the bucket that he released a long, long sigh.

“Y-You killed Pei Estate’s Second Missus. W-Won’t their family seek you out!”

Zhou Tao abruptly shot a vicious glare at those three porters. The three people simultaneously jolted in shock and shrunk backwards repeatedly.
