Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Chapter 345: Have You Ever Married?

The expressions on the faces of the brigands present all changed.

Most of those who work as brigands are drifters and ruffians looking for quick money, fundamentally cowardly and afraid of death.

Luo Fei’s expression also changed slightly, full of unwilling hatred. He hadn’t yet achieved his ambitions. How could he die so easily!

After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, we can pledge allegiance to the Empire and help you!"

System reminder: [Host, the loyalty of these brigands is very low, and their ambitions are high. They only agree verbally as a temporary measure. Who knows if they might betray you one day.]

Shen Tang naturally considered this.

She looked at Luo Fei and his men, smiling meaningfully, "I welcome heroes to serve the Empire, but given past experiences, I need to implant slave chips in you to ensure your sincerity in serving the Empire!"

The brigands’ faces changed drastically at these words. Once marked with a slave chip, they would become complete lapdogs of the Empire!

Absolutely not!

"Rest assured, I am not a heartless ruler. I know what you’re thinking. This slave chip is not to take away your personal freedom but to ensure your loyalty. As long as you serve the Empire faithfully for three years, I will remove the chip. I can issue a royal decree; no deception involved."

Shen Tang smiled at them, in a tone of negotiation, "Of course, if you don’t agree, then we’ll have to — see each other in the next life!"

"..."

Damn it, isn’t this a blatant threat?

Have they been given a chance to refuse?!

However, serving loyally for just three years isn’t entirely unacceptable.

The aristocratic hypocrites value their word; having issued a decree personally, she would surely not go back on it midway.

The brigands naturally didn’t know what Shen Tang was thinking. Now that she was the Emperor, if she had no shame, did she still need to keep promises?

It was she who issued the royal decree, and she could retract it anytime or issue a new edict.

Even if she promised to release them after three years, if the brigands misbehaved, she could kill them without breaking her promise.

In the end, the brigands of Black Wind Village agreed to be recruited.

The grains and valuables looted from the mountain stronghold were all confiscated and handed over to the government.

That still wasn’t enough.

This group of brigands had plundered so much, earning so much dirty money, their hands must be stained with many lives, they must bleed a little more.

Shen Tang sent people to untie Luo Fei, staring at his rather handsome face, suddenly leaned close and asked, her smile radiant, "Have you ever been married?"

Luo Fei’s face suddenly turned crimson, not knowing if it was from shame or anger, "You! You shameless woman, trying to make a move on me? No way — ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, a scream like a pig being slaughtered erupted.

Shen Tang casually pulled out a short dagger and stabbed it into his chest, extracting an essence blood.

"Boss!"

The brigands turned pale with fright.

Poison femme! Tyrant!

Was it necessary to be so ruthless just for robbing her of a bit of grain!!!

Shen Tang received the essence blood, very satisfied, smiling sweetly, "Consider this as compensation. Serve the Empire well in the future, and benefits will surely come your way."

Luo Fei staggered two steps back, his face pale, his eyes filled with venomous hatred as if he could tear her apart!

This injury to a Ninth Rank Beastman was nothing, but the pain was real!

Once the three years were up, he would surely take up his blade against this dog emperor to avenge the humiliation of today!

[Beep! Congratulations to the host on completing the task, reward of 1000 points, a mysterious treasure map, physical rewards have been automatically delivered to the system backpack, please check!]

[A mysterious treasure map: Upon opening, a mysterious location will randomly appear, it might hide priceless treasures, or it might just be a false merriment, what it contains is entirely up to luck.]

Shen Tang felt like she had used up her luck last time, so she didn’t rush to open the treasure map, deciding to do it later.
