Chapter 364: Chapter 364: I Like to Quietly Enjoy the Pleasure of Killing

Cui Erleng stared at the stunningly beautiful Lin Meng, no longer bothering to hide his lecherous intentions. He let out a sly chuckle and said, "Sleep with me. As long as you take good care of me, I guarantee you can call the shots around here."

"You’re asking for death!" Before Cui Erleng could even finish speaking, Lin Meng’s expression turned ice-cold.

The green-haired thug saw this and burst out laughing. "Ooh, look at you, trying to act tough. But you really think you have the right to act tough around here? You don’t! You think you can kill our boss? How are you gonna do it? Squeeze him to death with your legs? HAHA..."

Before his laughter could fade, a cold voice came from outside. "Then do you think *I* have the right to act tough?"

As the voice spoke, a man strode forward.

The green-haired thug arrogantly shot back, "Who the fuck do you think you are? What right do you have to show off in front of me..."

But before he could finish, the newcomer swung a heavy slap across his face. With a sharp CRACK, the green-haired man was sent sprawling to the ground, half his face instantly swelling up.

The green-haired man turned his head to look at the newcomer, ready to unleash a torrent of curses. But in the next moment, he finally recognized the man and couldn’t help but scream in terror, "Abbot! Abbot Jue Yuan!"

The person who had arrived was none other than Jue Yuan!

The green-haired man looked at Jue Yuan and quickly begged for mercy. "Abbot, I truly didn’t know it was you! I offended you with my words just now. Please forgive me!"

But Jue Yuan didn’t even spare him a glance. He turned and glared at Cui Erleng, his voice cold. "You dare to have designs on my woman? Are you tired of living?"

Hearing this, Cui Erleng’s face went pale with fright. He looked at Jue Yuan and cried out anxiously:

"Abbot, I truly didn’t know she was your woman! Otherwise, even with the courage of a hundred men, I wouldn’t have dared to touch her!"

This commercial street wasn’t under the Shaolin Temple’s jurisdiction, which was the only reason they dared to try and make a living here. But they would never, in a million years, dare to go up against the Abbot of the Shaolin Temple. That was practically begging for a death wish.

So, all he could do was beg for mercy.

Jue Yuan, however, paid him no mind. He turned to Lin Meng. "Mengmeng, what do you want to do with these people? Just say the word."

When Cui Erleng and his men heard this, their faces drained of color. ’He’s planning to kill us!’

They looked at Jue Yuan, begging nonstop, "Abbot, we were wrong! We’ll never dare to bother Boss Lin again! Please, just spare us!"

But Jue Yuan didn’t even look at them, his eyes still fixed on Lin Meng.

Cui Erleng and his men finally understood. Their lives were now completely in the hands of this woman, Lin Meng.

So they all dropped to their knees before Lin Meng, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for their lives. "Ma’am, please spare us! We’ll never do it again!"

But Lin Meng didn’t even look at them. She looked at Jue Yuan and asked, puzzled,

"Haven’t you always wanted to hide our relationship? What’s with today? You’re actually standing up for me so openly?"

Jue Yuan scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "I’m the Abbot of the Shaolin Temple, after all. If I were openly keeping a woman, the public’s condemnation would be enough to drown me.

But I don’t have to pretend anymore. The person I’ve been waiting for has arrived. I don’t have to stay here any longer. I can take you away with me, so from now on, I’m going to back you up, no holds barred!"

"’We can finally leave! I finally don’t have to pretend anymore!’ Lin Meng murmured, a happy smile spreading across her face.

Jue Yuan nodded, then looked at Lin Meng and said, "Mengmeng, let me help you vent your anger today. Go on, tell me. How should we deal with these people?"

Lin Meng shook her head. "I don’t want you to do it."

Hearing this, Cui Erleng and his men let out a long sigh of relief. ’This woman is reasonable after all!’

But Lin Meng’s next words made their pupils contract in shock.

Lin Meng looked at Cui Erleng and his men and said calmly, "Today, I’m going to take care of them myself."

Cui Erleng’s heart seized in his chest. ’One is more ruthless than the other!’

Just then, Lin Meng walked up to Cui Erleng, patted his cheek, and said:

"Do you know why I’ve been running this shop for ten years and no one has ever dared to collect protection money from me? Let me tell you. It’s because anyone who tried was thrown onto the back mountain the next day to feed the wild wolves."

Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Lin Meng’s eyes, Cui Erleng was so terrified he nearly pissed his pants. He kowtowed nonstop, his face pale as he cried:

"Mercy, ma’am! I’ll never dare to do it again!"

The other goons behind him also kowtowed and begged for their lives.

Lin Meng patted Cui Erleng’s chubby face again and said with a smile, "Let me tell you a few stories about myself. Then we’ll see if you still feel like begging me for mercy.

"Let’s see... five years ago, Yan Chang of the Yan family from Anling was visiting with his entourage. He was disrespectful to me and even tried to get handsy. That night, Yan Chang and his entire group disappeared.

"When the Yan family found out I was responsible, they sent over a hundred masters to hunt me down. In the end, I threw every last one of them into Wild Wolf Valley.

"I’m the type of person who likes to pull out the weeds by the roots, you see. So that very night, I paid a visit to Anling. After I was done, there was no longer a Yan family in Anling."

Hearing this, Cui Erleng screamed, "The Anling Massacre that shocked all of Nanjun... that was you!"

In the next instant, he pissed his pants in terror.

But Lin Meng just waved her hand and said calmly, "Don’t panic. I’m not finished.

"I had a niece in Xinzhao. A young master from the Zhao family took a fancy to her, dragged her back to his home, and, ignoring her desperate pleas, forcibly took her innocence.

"My niece was a strong-willed girl. Unable to bear the humiliation, she hanged herself.

"Her husband went to the Zhao family to demand justice, but not only did they refuse to give him an answer, they beat him to death. They even went so far as to wipe out his entire family—eighteen people in all.

"After I heard about this, I knew I had to stand up for my niece. So, I paid another visit to Xinzhao.

"That night, of the more than four hundred members of the Zhao family, not a single one was left alive..."

"The Xinzhao Massacre... I heard that was the work of the Blood-Handed Rakshasa. How could you..." Cui Erleng shouted.

Lin Meng smiled faintly. "Do you think it’s possible... that I *am* the Blood-Handed Rakshasa?"

"You... you’re the Blood-Handed Rakshasa! The one who never leaves anyone alive!" Cui Erleng screamed, and the next moment, he collapsed weakly to the ground.

He knew he had run into someone he should have never provoked. He knew he wasn’t going to make it out of this alive.

At that moment, Lin Meng drew a dagger and gave it an expert twirl. Then, she looked at Jue Yuan and said calmly, "You should go. I like to savor the pleasure of killing in peace."

Jue Yuan knew Lin Meng was truly enraged. He sighed and turned to leave.

When he reached the doorway, he heard Lin Meng’s soft voice from behind him:

"You little thing... I once set a record by slicing a man three thousand six hundred times without letting him die. Today, I think I’ll try to break that record on you."

"AHHH..." An inhuman scream, one that could only belong to Cui Erleng, soon echoed from the room.

Standing at the door, Ye Feng looked at Jue Yuan and said with a wry smile, "I have to say, Master, my future mother-in-law is quite the character."

A single sentence from Jue Yuan sent a chill down Ye Feng’s spine.
