Bloody Kyoto

Li Nanle changed into a youthful makeup look, but with a face full of pockmarks. Dressed in coarse linen clothes, she arrived at the First Floor in the evening and saw the restaurant manager greeting customers from afar.

After memorizing his appearance, I walked past the entrance of the first building and quietly dropped a foxtail grass seed.

Then she wandered around the streets until she reached the Rosewood, which was a brothel.

Under the bright lights, the plump madam, waving her handkerchief, greeted each guest with a beaming smile.

They also left a blade of grass at the door and then left.

As night fell, the Colorful Fabric Shop began to close. The shopkeeper stood at the door, gave a series of instructions to the shop assistants, and then left.

Li Nanle followed, and after walking for about half an incense stick's time, they entered the alley.

Li Nanle threw out a section of kudzu vine, which grew rapidly, reaching over ten meters in an instant.

The shopkeeper, who was walking ahead, noticed something and turned around. In that instant, a vine pierced through her neck.

She reached out and touched the vine in disbelief, instantly realizing what was happening.

She just couldn't understand how someone as insignificant as her could be noticed by such a person.

Her eyes were fixed on the dark figure approaching her, and she opened her mouth as if to ask why, but no sound came out.

Li Nanle probably knew what she wanted to ask, and before pulling out the vines, she kindly answered her question, "You are Zheng Jiaojiao's person, and I am Huo Yunxia's sister."

The shopkeeper gave a wry smile. So that's how it is!

Although she was implicated by the princess, she didn't seem to be entirely innocent. When Huo Yunxia came to the store to buy things, she made things difficult for her as the princess had requested, which led to her being ridiculed by the ladies and young women.

Perhaps feeling that she had brought this upon herself, she only cried out in pain when Li Nanle pulled out the vines, and her expression remained peaceful throughout her death from bleeding.

Li Nanle didn't remove the vines; she left them at the scene, wanting everyone to know...

She will not let go of anyone who is close to those who aid and abet evil.

The emperor can execute nine generations of a person for the sake of one person, but Li Nanle will not execute nine generations of a person. However, she will not let go of anyone who helped her.

After turning a few corners, we left the alley via other roads.

At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), the First Restaurant suddenly became noisy, and then the manager was seen rushing out.

A young shop assistant grabbed the shopkeeper, who was frantically running around in the street.

"Manager Zhang, don't be afraid. With so many people here, what plant monster wouldn't dare to come?"

"No, no, Manager Zhou is already dead. I'll definitely be next. She'll come looking for me."

At this moment, there weren't many people walking on the roadside, but there were still some who, upon hearing the innkeeper mention the plant spirit, curiously stopped and stared at the almost crazed innkeeper.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The shopkeeper suddenly knelt down and kowtowed haphazardly.

"I shouldn't have listened to the princess and fed Madam Fu food with saliva on it. Please forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened. The restaurant owner was actually serving food with saliva on it. Who would dare to eat there?

Some of the people who had eaten at the restaurant immediately vomited on the street, and others who were eating in the restaurant also heard the news.

He threw down his chopsticks on the spot and stormed off in a huff.

Li Nanle was also among the crowd watching. Combining what she heard, she understood what was going on.

It turned out that the body of the cloth shop owner had been discovered, and the restaurant owner found out.

That's not surprising, since quite a few people live in that alley and people pass by from time to time.

It was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something, her expression changed, and with a slight twitch of her fingers, a kudzu vine the size of a fingernail fell to the ground.

She quietly retreated to the edge of the crowd, then quickened her pace toward the Magnificent Pavilion, fearing that the owner of the Magnificent Pavilion would get wind of it and run away beforehand.

As she moved quickly, her supernatural power activated simultaneously, and the kudzu vine grew rapidly in full view of everyone.

The crowd was so frightened that they scattered and fled in all directions.

The waiter who was holding the restaurant owner saw this and turned pale with fright. He immediately let go of the restaurant owner and stumbled away.

The restaurant owner was still kowtowing, when suddenly he raised his head and looked at the sky with a pained expression.

It turned out that a vine had pierced directly into the back of his neck. Unlike the cloth shop owner who bled to death, Li Manle was much more ruthless towards the restaurant owner.

The vines didn't pierce his neck; instead, they turned and entered his chest cavity, causing a commotion.

After a few breaths of his expression contorted, the restaurant owner finally breathed his last.

Why did Li Nanle treat the restaurant owner so cruelly?

Naturally, it was because the shopkeeper himself said he was giving Yunxia dishes that would make her drool.

Li Nanle was unaware of what the cloth shop owner had done; if he had known, he probably would have been even more ruthless than he had been towards the restaurant owner.

Just as Li Nanle had expected, the madam of the Magnificent Pavilion also learned about the manager of the Colorful Cloth Shop.

Unlike the restaurant owner, she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she hoped that the person who wanted to kill her would come soon, determined to catch him.

She mobilized all the people Zheng Jiaojiao had left in the capital, and her trap was already set while Li Nanle was running to the Rosewood Building.

There were still many guests in the building. Logically, if she knew that someone was probably coming to kill her, she should have driven the guests away.

But instead of doing that, she loudly announced to the guests that the person who controlled the plants was about to come and kill her.

The timid guests left quickly upon hearing this, while the bold and curious about what it would be like to control plants to kill people stayed, and some even started a betting game.

Is the madam of the Rosewood Mansion alive or dead?

The madam happily cooperated with them in running the gambling game, but her face darkened after the customers placed their bets.

Everyone was betting that she would die under the vines.

She was furious, so she took out her secret stash and gambled it all away.

The person running the gambling den breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; if there hadn't been any here, he probably would have lost everything.

When Li Nanle arrived at the street of the Rosewood Building, he found that there was no one on the street.

She looked up and saw that many people had gathered at the windows of the shops on both sides, and all their eyes were on her.

She immediately understood what was going on.

Sure enough, how could someone who can be a brothel madam be a good person?

I was initially worried that she would run away, but that was a completely unnecessary concern.

Not only did they not run away, they also laid a trap.

This is interesting. Now that things have come to this point, Li Nanle naturally won't run away.

Looking to her right at the magnificent building, a group of thugs wielding knives rushed out and charged straight at her.

She didn't run; instead, she raised one hand, clenched it into a fist, and then punched the ground just as the thugs were about to reach her.

Most of Yunxia's power and abilities are now concentrated in her, and the strength of these abilities is several levels higher than her wood-type abilities.

She knew this was the result of Yunxia's own practice and leveling up.

The fist landed, cracking the ground and causing nearby shops to sway and collapse.
