Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Qing noticed that the people with gold powder on their bodies were starting to look strange. They also danced with the dancers. The wind quickly passed, and the acrobats stopped dancing. Someone else took the golden monkey and started to collect money.
This time, they received a lot—those unwilling to pay before all took out their money and placed it on the plate.
The rich people didn’t just take out their money; they even took off their valuables and placed them on the tray. The golden monkey couldn’t hold the tray full of money, jewelry, and jade.
Those people’s eyes were straight as if they were walking corpses.
Su Qing turned around and called for the waiter to settle the bill. He found that the waiter and the shopkeeper were also walking out of the restaurant with their eyes wide open like the people outside. The shopkeeper took out all the money on the counter and placed it on a tray. The waiter also placed the tael of silver Su Qing gave him on the tray.
The two of them did not leave after putting the money in. They stood there like blocks of wood.
The man with the green mask cupped his fists and said,
“Thank you for your support, everyone. Today’s performance is over. Everyone, please disperse!”
When he finished speaking, the onlookers obediently turned around and left. They strolled and did not even move their arms. They looked like walking corpses in broad daylight.

Was it a flower?
Su Qing frowned as she looked at the commoners, who seemed enchanted.
The acrobats began to pack up and drive the tiger into the cage. The king of the mountain was submissive to a small woman, like a docile big cat, lying down obediently after entering the cage.
Su Qing noticed that the tiger and the leopard’s eyes had a strange red color, just like Li Daniu when he was sick.
Seeing that these people were ready to leave, Su Qing called the waiter to settle the score.
The waiter walked over with mechanical steps and reported the bill in a stiff voice,
“A total of two taels of silver and thirty copper coins.”
The adjutant hurriedly raised his saber and slashed at the tiger. The tiger flipped in the air, and its claws slapped the adjutant. Its movements were swift, not giving him a chance to react at all.
The soldiers beside him raised their sabers and slashed at the tiger, but the tiger dodged and shuttled through the sword lights and swords.
During this time, two soldiers were knocked down. The adjutant had half of his face injured by the tiger’s claws and was bleeding terribly.
These soldiers had no problem fighting with humans, but they could not get close to the tiger. No matter how brave they were, it was useless. This tiger was swift. With a turn, it slapped down several soldiers and opened its mouth to bite their throats.
The man with the green mask looked on coldly. None of the acrobats with oil paint came to stop the tiger. They just watched as the soldiers could not resist the tiger’s attack.
Seeing that the soldier was about to be bitten to death by the tiger, Su Qing flew down from upstairs with the Luan saber in hand and stabbed the tiger in the head. The tiger let out a shrill tiger roar and turned around to attack Su Qing. She stabbed it in the eye again, and it cried out in pain. The tiger’s tail swept out a sharp wind to sweep Su Qing, but she cut it off with a slash.
The Luan saber was extremely sharp and could cut through iron like mud. Su Qing was as fast as lightning. Almost instantly, he stabbed the Luan saber into the tiger’s heart. As soon as the saber was pulled out, blood splashed out. The tiger’s corpse fell to the ground with a thud, sending dust flying.
The man wearing the green mask did not expect Su Qing to be so powerful. He frowned and looked at Su Qing, his eyes flashing.
He could already tell that Su Qing was a woman dressed as a man. He seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head to the two women performing jiu-jitsu. The two women received the order to fly onto the tray and sprinkle gold powder on Su Qing in the air.
“Hold your breath and retreat.”
Su Qing ordered the soldiers loudly. She flew up and stabbed the two women who were scattering the gold powder. The two women were indeed soft. They slithered down the high pole like snakes when they saw Su Qing’s knife.
Su Qing raised her wrist and shot two sleeve arrows, hitting their backs. The two of them screamed and fell to the ground, bleeding black blood.
The man with the green mask looked at the two women on the ground. His eyes were cold, and he did not pity their deaths. He cupped his hands at Su Qing and said,
“Young lady, we are just trying to make a living. Please forgive us if we have offended you.”
His tone was very polite, but the pair of eyes behind the mask was sinister and terrifying.
Su Qing sheathed the Luan saber and sized up the masked man. She realized that this man seemed to recognize the Luan saber. When he saw the Luan saber, his pupils suddenly constricted as if he were afraid.
Su Qing asked coldly,
“Who are you? What do you want to do in Mo City?”
This group of people could summon the wind and rain, use hallucinogenic drugs, and control the people with those rose honey bugs. These were not abilities that ordinary scammers could have.
Could they be the masterminds behind the scenes?
