Chapter 77
Chapter 77 - Femme Fatale
A serial killer and a femme fatale, Wang Li resorted sinful ways to survive during her time in the previous world and this world.
In her previous life, Wang Li was once a prostitute who was sold to a brothel by her parents. Because of the harsh nature of the slum-life in a third world country, she did not service her customer as ordinary service-girls did. She murdered every one of her customers and stole their belongings as part of her career. She lived her life as a serial killer for decades.
Her luck ran out when she encountered a wicked buyer, who killed her when they were doing their things.
In this life, when she turned 12, she voluntarily joined a brothel in Chang'An with her self-created [Die For Me] skill. Despite being thrown into hell for hundreds of thousands of years, her habits never improved. She still enjoyed killing any male customer who came across her. As a result, she drained each of her customers dried while she satisfied her endless desire.
One day, a certain customer chose her for a night. He was also a reincarnator with the necromancy skill.
As usual, she drained every lifespan and all experience he had, after which she found out about the existence of other reincarnators. She killed him immediately after she had discovered his secret.
From that day on, Wang Li kept an eye for the news about government movement, famous people, war and conflict between nobles.
Then, the system forced her into a death game with another otherworlders, which she pretended to surrender to the male opponent and allowed him to ravish her before he killed her.
The unfortunate reincarnator fell to her trick and died by the "Snu-Snu Paradise Trap". Thus, she gained another useless skill [Appraisal-Sama] from him.
When the system opened the skill shop in the system menu, she did not hesitate to buy the [Jaded Skin Beauty] to seduce more victims who visited the brothel she was in. Because of this skill, her appearance could be adjusted according to her will, which she designed her body to be a youthful Caucasian model with blond hair.
She became a successful meat-seller after that death game event and became famous for her look.
Later on, the emperor was attracted by her unique look, so she was summoned into the palace as a new concubine.
At the palace, Wang Li encountered Liu Ping by chance. He could immediately tell that she was not a native with her blond hair and western look. Later on, she was persuaded to work for him, and the reward would be anything if he became the new king.
She was interested in the offer. However, she did not like being a tool to this unknown brat. Therefore, she plotted something behind his back. She planned to kill him in secret after she seduced him and officially became the Empress.
Before she could proceed further with her plan, the system informed them about Soulmate Contract, which Liu Ping forced her to take it with him, so she could not backstab him later.
Because of the contract, she had to change the way she climbed up the power ladders. Wang Li utilized her experience as a former hypothesizer with Liu Ping and caused him to lose self-control for a period of time.
As a result of the hypothesis, Liu Ping took her as his wife and always indulged himself with her body in public, so she could flaunt her status as the future Empress and no one would dare to harm her.
The only steps remaining was the coronation and the marriage. Once everything was done, Liu Ping would be killed as he would become useless to her.
...
...
Liu Ping and Wang Li were naked and alone in the throne room, divulging themselves into the carnal desire. As an experienced prostitute, Wang Li pretended to be moaning in pleasure voice which aroused Liu Ping further.
While she was at it, she purposely rang a small bell, which was part of her bracelet accessories, besides Liu Ping's ear.
The eyes of Liu Ping dimmed down, and his action slowed. Afterward, Wang Li leaned over and whispered.
"Fall in love with me. You will fall in love with me. You will make me the Empress. Lust for my body. Be my slave. Fall in love with me. You will fall in love with me. You will make me the Empress. Lust for my body. Be my slave."
She repeated her words for over 10 minutes. Then she rang the bell again and resumed moving her hip.
Liu Ping's eyes regained its color. He glanced at her with the corner of his eyes with murderous intent, but he reverted back to his lustful nature in a split of a second.
"I'm sorry, your majesty. I lost in thought for a moment." Wang Li gave out her excuse in a seductive voice.
Meanwhile, Liu Ping still had his lecherous smiling on his face. He fondled her soft butt and whispered to her.
"Come to think of it, how many idiots that fell for our trick?"
"Currently five, your majesty."
"Good, good. Did you get any good skill?"
"I'm sorry, your majesty. All the reincarnators that we managed to entice were all female. I can't steal skills from women, so all of my skills are still the same. I can't transfer any skill to you at the moment."
Liu Ping squinted his eyes and revealed a mocking grin for a second. After that, he buried his face into her chest.
"What's the current number of survivors?"
"It's down to 26, your majesty. It won't be long until we are the last one standing."
"Very well. Let's continue distributing the flyers. For now, I must impregnate you! I want a dozen children!"
"Hahaha, please don't push yourself too harsh, your majesty. I might die first if I give birth to that many children."
Both of them continued mating in the throne room until night.
...
Later at midnight, Wang Li was sent back to her room to rest. Meanwhile, Liu Ping went back to his inner palace.
Within his personal palace, a few familiar faces were there. They were the one whom Liu Ping ordered to be killed earlier today. However, they were still alive.
"Welcome back, your highness."
An elder official bowed the Liu Ping. He was the one who reprimanded him for sitting on the throne.
"I'm terribly sorry for the earlier, Lord Wang Yun."
Betraying his image in the throne room, Liu Ping cupped his hand and bowed back to the elder.
"Please don't bow to the humble me! You are the next emperor! You can't bow to anyone! It was just an act that we had prepared to trick that fellow. You don't have to apologize to me."
The elder helped Liu Ping up in frantic, which was also completely different from the morning events.
"I have to! I've put you into this plan because of my incompetence. Please accept my apology!"
The elder helped him up again. Meanwhile, the other officials nodded in approval of Liu Ping's action.
"We did not know that your highness had plotted this grand scheme. We would like to apologize for our manner this morning as well."
The other officials also bowed to Liu Ping.
...
After the awkwardness and the exchanged of pleasantries, Liu Ping started to explain the situation.
"Again, I'm sorry for dragging all of you into this mess. I need to play a fool to trick that woman, or else we all will be in danger."
Wang Yun and other officials had a solemn face when the heard about "that woman". She was Wang Li, the consort that the previous emperor brought into the palace. Within a week that she consummated with the emperor, he died.
Every loyalist saw her as a jinx of bad luck. They were also disgusted by her status before she became a royal concubine.
"As you've known, a week after her arrival, the emperor passed away. Then my brothers were killed mysteriously by either poison or sorcery. If we connect the story, she is the most suspicious person in the palace at the moment."
With Liu Ping words, the loyalists subconsciously emitted out their killing intent. Although they were both scholars and politicians, they were loyal to the royalties. Anyone that harmed the emperor would anger them.
"Instead of grieving for the late emperor, she approached me and tempted me. Because I was too naïve and incompetence, I fell for her charm. For that, I want to apologize again. However, I caught on to her plans. I managed to decipher her secret messages to the other evil sect members. Lord Wang Yun has helped me capturing all of them, but they were all killed by someone. I believe that..."
Liu Ping narrated a story about an evil sect and sorcerers, which was entirely made up by him. He told them about Wang Li being an evil sorcerer and tried to hypothesize him into making stupid action like what had happened this morning. She also had an evil spell that could bring back the dead as undead zombies or skeletons.
"What in the world?"
"There is such a thing?"
The elders were murmured in shock. The story about undead and sorcerers were unbelievable.
"The undead monsters exist. We have captured one within this palace."
Wang Yun chimed in. He clapped his hands to send a signal to his subordinates. After a few minutes, ten men were dragging an iron cage with a person inside. However, this person's neck was twisted in 180 degrees and hung down on his back, yet he was still alive. It walked forward and slammed his body at the cage bars. It roared at every person nearby as if it wanted to attack them.
"What is this thing!?"
"He... he's a human? Wait, I saw this person somewhere before."
"Isn't he one of the 1000-man commander? I saw him many times in the army assembly last year!"
Liu Ping had a smug look for a second. He used his necromancy skill to manipulate the zombie's action, then he told the officials.
"This person was once one of the imperial soldiers. He was bewitched by Wang Li and turned into this. I hope that everybody here can see what will happen if we let her be. I wish to ask every single of you for your cooperation regardless of which faction you are supporting. To be honest, I want my step-mother and step-brother to know about this too. So I have to ask all of you to help me."
...
The gathering within Liu Ping's palace continued till dawn. All official that was thought to be dead sneaked out by dressing in servant clothes. Meanwhile, Liu Ping himself went back and pretended to be a spoiled prince again. There were still a few preparations which were required before he could break the soulmate contract and crossed with Wang Li.
