Rebirth: Making a Fortune in Ancient Times

"Hand over all your silver, and we'll let you go. Otherwise, hehe..." The triangular-eyed man's gaze lingered on Xia Yu like a venomous snake flicking its tongue. Xia Yu felt a damp, nauseating sensation. Goosebumps instantly rose all over her body.

If the two people in front were too stupid, then this man with the triangular eyes in front of her was truly evil; there were definitely lives on his hands. That was Xia Yu's impression of him.

"What will happen if we don't take the silver?" Xia Yu asked again.

"Not taking the money? Then don't blame us brothers for being ruthless. We'll have to send you somewhere you can earn money." The triangular-eyed man said sinisterly, looking at Xia Yu's beautiful face.

When the "third brother" heard him say that, the burly man with the thick beard nervously tugged at the arm of the man with triangular eyes.

"What is it now?" He turned his head impatiently to look at the two idiots beside him.

"Um, third brother, didn't we agree that we'd only take the money, not harm anyone, and not send them to filthy places?" The bearded man reminded him in a low voice, reminding him not to forget their original agreement.

"..." The man with triangular eyes didn't speak, but Xia Yu could see the impatience and disdain on his face.

"Well, you lot, you'd better hand over your money obediently, and we'll let you go right away." The bearded man cleared his throat and raised a small dagger to Xia Yu and the others, seeing that the triangular-eyed man hadn't spoken.

"Stop wasting their breath, let's go." The man with the triangular eyes waved to the two men and charged forward himself.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu quickly pulled Shen Luo and Chang Yun back. Gou Dan and Xiao Shitou also retreated, giving Shi Jiu and Daniu room to perform.

Nineteen took a step forward, blocking Xia Yu's path and protecting his masters behind him. He then drew his soft sword from his waist, channeling his inner force, and the sword instantly became a gleaming, incredibly sturdy blade. The men still charging forward realized, upon seeing the soft sword in Nineteen's hand, that they had misjudged him and encountered a formidable opponent.

The man with the triangular eyes who was charging ahead tried to turn and run, but two others were following him. Just as he managed to steady himself, the bearded man and the short man crashed into him, knocking the man who had just stopped flying. All three of them fell to the ground.

The older woman twisted her wrist, stepped forward, and lifted the shorter man with one hand and the bearded man with the other. With a forceful movement, she spun them around like sandbags.

"Ah...ah..." Two terrified screams were followed by a dull thud as something heavy fell to the ground. Da Niu strode towards the direction where the person had fallen.

Seeing the imposing Nineteenth Brother wielding a sword before him, the man with triangular eyes quickly turned and knelt down, begging for mercy.

"Heroine, heroine, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please forgive my rudeness and let me go." After saying that, he started kowtowing on the ground with a thud.

Nineteen turned to look at Xia Yu, asking for her opinion.

"Tie him up and hand him over to the authorities. This man is definitely not clean." Although the man with the triangular eyes was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Xia Yu felt uncomfortable seeing him as if he were a venomous snake.

"Miss, please spare me! I'll never do it again!" The man with the triangular eyes begged Xia Yu for mercy when he heard that she was going to send him to the authorities.

Xia Yu remained unmoved by his pleas for mercy, insisting on tying him up.

Just as Nineteen was looking for something to tie up the man, the man suddenly pulled out a handful of powder from his pocket and threw it at Nineteen's face. In an instant, Nineteen felt a burning pain in his eyes, and then tears streamed down his face, but he couldn't open his eyes no matter what he did.

"Nineteen!" Xia Yu quickly reached out to support the unsteady person. Seeing tears streaming down Nineteen's face, Xia Yu took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed it to Chang Yun.

"Brother, use this to wash Nineteen's eyes. Don't let the water spill on the ground; use a cloth to catch some of it."

After quickly explaining everything, Xia Yu chased after the man with the triangular eyes who had run off.

Xia Yu didn't catch up with the person quickly, but instead chased after him, not using his lightness skill at all.

The man with the triangular eyes quickly spotted Xia Yu who had followed them.

"Heh heh, you have a path to heaven but you choose not to, and you insist on barging into hell. Since you're determined to come along, don't blame me for being ruthless," the triangular-eyed man thought viciously.

Having made up his mind, Triangular Eyes started running towards a less populated area. Xia Yu, who was following behind, seemed not to notice the change in the surrounding scenery and just ran with him all the way out of the town gate of this remote border town.

They didn't stop until they reached a deserted, uninhabited forest. The man with the triangular eyes suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Xia Yu, who was panting heavily behind him.

"Hehe, little girl, you've followed your brother this far, shall we rest here for a bit?" As he spoke, he disgustingly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

Suppressing her discomfort, Xia Yu pretended to be afraid and covered her chest, saying...

"What do you think you're doing? Don't mess around, my two maids won't let you get away with this, or I'll send you to see the authorities."

"Don't do anything reckless? You followed me all this way just so I would do something reckless, right? Hehe, come on." The man with the triangular eyes pounced on Xia Yu with a lewd smile.

Actually, Xia Yu was unwilling to commit murder. After all, she was an educated college student in her previous life, and she held a deep respect for life. If she were to kill, there must be a compelling reason.

Just like this sleazy man in front of her, if he really only wanted money, Xia Yu wouldn't have the intention to kill him. But based on her sixth sense, Xia Yu knew that the man in front of her was definitely not a good person, that he must have done a lot of bad things, and that he had taken lives, so he had to die.

The man with the triangular eyes, who was about to pounce on Xia Yu, saw her arms raised towards him and assumed she was trying to stop him. He was about to chuckle again, but his smile froze on his face.

As Xia Yu raised her arms, countless tiny needles flew from her sleeves toward the man opposite her.

His face was covered in needles, like a hedgehog's, with several silver needles piercing directly into his eyes. Lying stiffly on the ground, the triangular-eyed man had no idea how he died.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Xia Yu sighed with regret.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have put poison on the needle. This death happened way too quickly."
