Shi Qingluo raised the small black balls in her hand.
She put on a crazed expression on her face. "Since you want me to die, then come with me."
Third Son Shi scoffed. "You want us to die with you with this black thing? Are you insane?"
The others were also very disdainful. They felt that this wretched girl was desperate.
Shi Qingluo sneered. "Then I'll let you guys take a look."
She took out a lighter from her bosom and lit a small fuse on the small black ball. Then, she threw it towards an empty space on the other side of the courtyard.
Shengyuan had to set the fire and cook every day, so she had a lighter with her.
She wanted to throw it at him, but if he was injured or killed from the explosion, she would have to go to jail. It was not worth it.
"Bang!" The small black ball exploded.
It directly blew up a tree planted in the open space of the courtyard and left a hole on the ground.
Everyone was terrified.
Seeing the power of the small black balls, the people of the Shi family recalled the old Taoist priest who had ascended to immortality.
Two months ago, a few similar loud noises suddenly appeared on the mountainside. Then, flames soared into the sky, killing the Taoist priest and leaving the main hall of the temple severely damaged.
Everyone, including the Shi Family, believed that the old Taoist priest ascended to immortality.
But now, they were a little uncertain.
Shi Qingluo played with the other small black balls in her hands, raised her eyebrows and looked at them.
"So, do you want to taste the damage of the fireballs? This is something that my master passed on to me for self-defence. If you don't believe it, you can experience it yourself."
She snorted coldly. "If I am marrying off to the Wu family and to be buried with Young Master Wu, then all of you can die together with him too. It will be lively with so many of us there."
This was indeed an earthen explosive refined by the old Taoist.
He was practising alchemy and accidentally created this explosive.
After that, he gained an interest in developing explosives further, which also killed him.
After the old Taoist died, Shengyuan brought back the books, two boxes of items, and these small black balls from the remnants of the explosion.
Shi Qingluo came from the modern era. As soon as she saw these in her memory, she knew that it was an earthen bomb.
That was why she wanted to use it.
If Third Son Shi did not want to die, he would not dare to send her to accompany Young Master Wu's burial.
The Shi family remained silent.
No, they did not want to experience it at all, and they did not want more audiences.
Old Master Shi, who had been silent the whole time, blurted, "What exactly do you want?"
Shi Qingluo said, "I want you guys to break off the engagement with the Wu Family on your own accord. I can choose who I want to marry in the future.
"Otherwise, I won't have a good time. We'll all die together then.
"Fourth uncle is a future scholar with a bright future in the palace. He might even be a top-tier scholar. I don't think he wants to die young, right?"
Fourth Son Shi hesitated. He really didn't want to.
This wretched girl had seized their lifeblood in an instant.
Thus, Old Master Shi gave Old Lady Shi a look.
She could only smile apologetically at the old granny again. "Look at this, there's nothing we can do."
They could only break off the engagement. Otherwise, this wretched girl would make them die with her.
Shi Qingluo looked at the old granny sinisterly and shook the little black balls in her hand. "It doesn't matter if the Wu family wants to marry me. In any case, all of you feel sorry for Young Master Wu. We can actually go down together as companions."
She curled her lips again and asked, "I believe that y'all also want to continue serving Young Master Wu in the afterworld, right?"
