Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

The shopkeeper led Jin Jiusi to a dilapidated wooden door, stopped, pointed to a stone wall, and said weakly, "Right, right here."

Jin Jiusi walked forward and observed carefully. She turned to look at the shopkeeper with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he didn't care about his weakness and waved his hands quickly, "Miss, girl, I swear that this is all I know. I really don't know anything else. Even if you kill me, I still don't know." His voice was desperate and fearful.

Jin Jiusi snorted coldly, "I don't think you have the guts." As she spoke, she gently slapped the dagger in her hand against the stone wall, and the stone wall collapsed with a loud bang.

Behind the stone wall is a dark passage with no bottom in sight.

The shopkeeper widened his eyes in horror and looked at her with even more fear.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, but your wound will never heal in this lifetime." After saying that, Jin Jiusi walked into the passage without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's body swayed and he collapsed to the ground with a pale face.

Jin Jiusi walked along the passage and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

A huge underground secret room appeared before her, filled with all kinds of precious treasures and cultural relics.

Jin Jiusi looked around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

These treasures and artifacts are quietly displayed there, and the unique atmosphere they exude permeates the air.

Each item shines with a strange light, is inlaid with dazzling gems, or is carved with exquisite patterns, all of which show its preciousness and rarity.

It is obvious that these treasures are not ordinary things and the value contained in them is inestimable.

Jin Jiusi stood in the secret room, his eyes sweeping over the dazzling array of treasures and cultural relics, thinking to himself: It seems that the collection here is not just Donghua's property.

Could it be that Queen Xi Jiang wanted to use these wealth and cultural relics to realize her ambition of unifying the four kingdoms!

Thinking of this, Jin Jiusi frowned slightly, and a hint of cold disdain appeared in his eyes.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and continued walking deeper into the secret room, determined to find the culprit of the poisoning.

The ground beneath her feet was a little damp and the air seemed particularly stuffy. Just as she moved forward cautiously, she suddenly heard an extremely subtle sound coming from the cave in front of her.

Jin Jiusi immediately stopped and listened attentively.

The sound was intermittent, as if someone was whispering.

She took a few steps forward quietly, approaching the direction where the sound came from.

Finally, she stopped in front of a cold rock wall, leaned gently against it, and listened attentively to the movements in the cave.

"I guess the poison has already penetrated deep into their internal organs." said a slightly complacent voice.

"Of course. Do you think water thorn is an ordinary poison? If you get a little bit of it on you, it will quickly spread throughout your body and there is no antidote. Although it is not fatal, it is worse than death." Another voice echoed.

"Hey, sister, when are we going to go up and deal with them?" another voice asked impatiently.

"Why are you panicking? Since they didn't help, it's only right that they suffer a little more." The person called the eldest sister replied coldly.

"That's right, my elder sister was... ahem, there was such a loud noise downstairs, I don't believe they couldn't hear it." The person who spoke earlier continued.

"Since they don't take the bait, I can only take the initiative back." The eldest sister said viciously.

There was a brief silence that followed, and only the slightly heavy breathing of a few people could be heard.

Hearing this, Jin Jiusi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he was the dark god of death from the abyss of purgatory.

She sneered in her heart, it’s time for me to let you have a good taste of what it feels like to live a life worse than death.

Her eyes turned cold, she raised her hand, and after the dagger spun five times in the air, she flashed and flew towards the depths of the cave.

Soon, screams were heard from the cave.

"What is that? Aa ...

"Who?! Get out here!!"

"It hurts!!!"

"Dagger, it's a dagger. My leg, my leg!!!"

"Backstabbing, shameless villain, get out of here!"

"..."

Soon, the blood-stained dagger flew back into Jin Jiusi's hand.

Seeing the blood from the dagger staining his hand, Jin Jiusi's eyes became more and more disgusted, but he did not throw the dagger away.

The people inside collapsed to the ground, covering their wounds and cursing, but before they could react, Jin Jiusi appeared in front of them like a ghost.

"Shameless villains? No one is more shameless than you in poisoning the water." Jin Jiusi's voice was icy cold and chilling.

"It's you! How...how did you find this place?!" The eldest sister widened her eyes and looked at Jin Jiusi in disbelief.

"You shouldn't touch him." Jin Jiusi's face was as gloomy as water, and a cold murderous intent emanated from his whole body.

The dagger in her hand was still dripping with blood, which made those people tremble with fear.

It was that dagger that severed their tendons.

Jin Jiusi approached step by step, and the cold light in her eyes made the eldest sister and others crawl backwards while looking back at her.

"You, what do you want to do? Do you know who we are? If you dare to attack us, be careful that the Queen will crush your Donghua."

"Shut up! Idiot!"

"..."

"Hehe, who is Xi Jiang?" Jin Jiusi's tone was flat, but every step she took towards them terrified them.

She squatted in front of the woman and whispered, "You're the one who ordered them to poison the water. Death or a life worse than death, choose one."

"I, I know I was wrong, please let me go!"

"Sister, what are you afraid of? She's alone, and there are five of us."

"Go away. If you want to die, don't take me with you."

She couldn't even see how she made the move. How could such a person be simple? No matter how stupid she was, she wouldn't dare to provoke her.

Jin Jiusi's blood-stained hands played with the dagger and he spoke leisurely, "I'll give you two choices. One is to take the poison, and the other is to taste the dagger again. I'll count to three. Those who don't make a choice will die."

"One...two..."

Terror enveloped the room and time seemed to stand still.

"I choose one, I choose one, I poison myself..."

"I'll choose one too..."

Seeing this, the others were completely devastated and said they would choose the first option.

The woman's face was pale, and she took out a small green porcelain bottle from her bosom with trembling hands.

Jin Jiusi looked at them coldly, without any mercy, "The last one to eat will also die."

Suddenly, several people looked at the woman holding the small porcelain bottle with horror. They saw the woman quickly take off the bottle cap, pour a black pill into her hand, and then swallow it immediately.

The rest of the people grabbed the medicine bottles and followed suit.

After a while, several people began to twitch in pain, their lips turned purple, and they eventually fell to the ground.

But if you look closely, you can still feel the faint movement of their breathing.

Jin Jiusi stood up and looked at the person on the ground coldly, as if she had just done something insignificant.

Kong Kong: [Master, he's awake.]

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiusi turned around and left the secret room. The coldness on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by deep tenderness.
