Chapter 24

This time, it really is her.

The one I met at the bridge last time should be her sister, who looks extremely similar.

"Hmm." The woman said.

"Did you come to visit me?" Zhuming said.

Wait, I'm not in jail, why say "visit"?

"I came to kill you." The woman said nonchalantly.

Zhuming looked embarrassed and said, "Then why didn't you act earlier?"

"I've thought it through these days. Letting you live is like a poisonous thorn, piercing me unexpectedly whenever I feel a bit happy, causing even more pain and torment. It's better to end it." She walked over, her steps light, the heels of her shoes tapping a rhythmic beat on the wooden floor.

When she was close, Zhuming could see her face more clearly.

It was indeed Li Yunzi, her innate pride hidden beneath her cold and beautiful demeanor.

"I understand. These days, everyone in Zulong City has been discussing this matter, tearing open your wounds with dirty and disgusting words, while I can comfortably hide here, raising dragons and reading books. It's as if the heavens have arranged and mocked our fates, but you have to bear it alone." Zhuming nodded seriously.

"Aren't you resentful of me?" she asked.

"I am, but I can't beat you." Zhuming said.

"Do you have any last words?" she continued.

"I thought you were different from other women, that even after such humiliation, you wouldn't vent your anger on others. You were quite unique in my mind... Forget it, no matter what, thank you for sending me the college admission letter, allowing me to spend a good time at the college." Zhuming said.

"Oh?" She suddenly raised her eyebrows, her delicate rose-colored lips curling into a slight smile. "She sent you the admission letter?"

"Her??" Zhuming looked puzzled.

"Li Yunzi." The woman said.

Zhuming looked at her, suddenly remembering that Li Yunzi had told him in the dungeon that she was sick.

Looking at her now, she was indeed very sick.

"Are you okay??" Zhuming asked.

"Turns out, the little beggar who caused a city-wide uproar and pulled Li Yunzi down from her position as Lady is you. Haha, Li Yunzi still kept you alive and even sent you to the Dragon Taming Academy..." The woman continued in a cold, mocking tone.

Zhuming, seeing the drastic change in Li Yunzi's personality, was momentarily stunned.

"You're not Li Yunzi?? You're Nan Lingsha!" Zhuming suddenly remembered the woman at the bridge.

"I am Li Yunzi's sister."

"Twins?!" Zhuming was shocked.

Twins!!

Heaven, how could I not think of it.

Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha are twins!

But how could I have thought of it??

Who would think such beauty could come in two!

"She took her father's surname, I took my mother's. She is in the Li family, I am in the Nan family." The woman who claimed to be from the Nan family said coldly and indifferently.

"This... this..." Zhuming was stuttering.

It's too chaotic, too chaotic!

Li Yunzi has a sister named Nan Lingsha!

But no one told me they are twins!

No wonder the head of the Li family said, "Li Yunzi is Li Yunzi, Nan Lingsha is Nan Lingsha." They look identical, and if Li Yunzi's reputation is damaged, it will inevitably affect her twin sister...

What kind of karma have I created.

"Thanks to you, I now have to wear a veil when I go out. If not for the fact that few people know we are twins, my reputation would already be ruined!" The woman's words were clearly tinged with anger.

She was trying to get information from him.

She wasn't sure at first that he was the culprit!

No wonder Li Yunzi seemed a bit different today.

Zhuming looked at the woman who was identical to the warrior goddess Li Yunzi, feeling a mix of joy and worry.

He was glad that Li Yunzi was still the unique Li Yunzi and didn't want to kill him.

But he was worried about how to deal with this sister-in-law, having let something slip!

"Cough, Miss Lingsha, some things are not as you think. Why don't you ask your sister more about it? She can vouch for me, what kind of person I am." Zhuming said.

"Do you think our relationship is so close and harmonious? Perhaps she thinks her current tragedy is all my doing." The woman snorted coldly.

"This..." Zhuming scratched his head, what should I do.

The woman slowly circled around Zhuming, scrutinizing him with an air of supreme arrogance.

Zhuming felt that the more he talked, the more he would slip up, so he decided to keep quiet.

Li Yunzi should have given him a heads-up.

"Why do you look so wretched, what with all the talk of being lowly, dirty, and a beggar with sores all over?" the woman demanded.

"Actually, I'm quite handsome and suave, right?" Zhuming said.

The woman gave him a withering look, never having seen such a shameless person.

"Tell me, what really happened. Speak the truth, or these will be your last words!" The woman's beautiful eyes narrowed, looking fiercely beautiful.

"Alright, since you're also a victim."

"Shut up, I have nothing to do with you!" The woman's cheeks flushed with anger, and she shouted.

"..." Zhuming could only look down, his mind wandering.

"Speak!"

"Didn't you tell me to shut up?"

"Speak! The! Truth! Now!" The woman's teeth were grinding, and she forced herself to calm down, speaking each word clearly.

Zhuming organized his thoughts, feeling that it was better to tell the truth to this deeply affected sister-in-law.

"It happened like this. I originally lived in the south of Sang Town, with mulberry trees and fields, living a peaceful and leisurely life. Who knew that the Wutu bandits were so unreasonable, robbing me of all my money, which led me to the beggars' street. And then, fate played a cruel joke on me, making the poisonous porridge the source of all evil..."

"Why do you sound like a storyteller in the market?"

"Miss, every word is true."

The woman pondered Zhuming's words, occasionally glancing at him.

Zhuming maintained a sincere smile, but his heart was stirred: She looks so much like Li Yunzi, even her figure... cough, this is her sister, not Li Yunzi.

I've heard that twins have a telepathic connection, but... stop!

Zhuming, how can you be so dirty and vulgar!

"Hmph, even so, you are still a commoner, and the story has already been spread in the most disgraceful way." The woman, thinking of the verbal insults she had endured, wanted to kill the man in front of her right now.

But would killing Zhuming really make a difference?

Looking at Zhuming's current appearance and remembering his current status, she suddenly understood something. Her eyes, shining even more in the sunlight, gazed at Zhuming's face, and she murmured, "I understand. This is why Li Yunzi has kept you alive."

Zhuming was confused.

"If you die, you will die in the lowest and most despicable way, and the one who defiled her name will forever be a wandering beggar. If you live, you will gradually shed that lowly identity, even becoming a low-level dragon tamer, which is far better than a dirty beggar. This is why she sent you the college admission letter. Li Yunzi, Li Yunzi, is this your way of healing?" The woman's eyes were sharp and cold, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before.

Zhuming opened his mouth but said nothing.

In fact, Zhuming hadn't thought about it on this level.

"Perhaps she is just rational and compassionate, or..." Zhuming said.

"Compassionate?? The people she has killed could fill the Lichuan Lake!" The woman said disdainfully.

Li Yunzi, known as the War Goddess, is the iron-fisted Lady of Zulong City, and her brutal actions have been widely spread across the lands and city-states.

Zhuming just smiled, not responding, but it was clear that the relationship between the twin sisters was not as harmonious as imagined.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Footsteps came from not far away, belonging to a few energetic young men, who were discussing the eastern fortress.

"Lu Xiaoye, the man who has killed ten thousand, is so mighty. How come I never heard of him before? He has made the Wutu bandits dare not wreak havoc. Our Zulong City's territory is so sacred, how can those dirty people trample it??" one young man said with enthusiasm.

"Building a reputation in war is fast. Now, many people in Zulong City must have heard of Lu Xiaoye, the man who has killed ten thousand."

"Lingxiao City in the west is said to be restless again. I can't wait for my scythe beast to transform into a scythe dragon!"

"Lu Xiaoye's name has already spread in Wutu. He massacred Yong City, and the Wutu bandits now fear him."

"Speaking of Yong City, hehe, do you know that story..." a slightly lecherous voice spread.

"Who doesn't know?"

"I have the latest version. It's said that the Lady was promiscuous, and during the war with Lingxiao City in the west, there were rumors that she ordered strong male soldiers to serve her in her tent..." the lecherous voice continued.

The young men, seemingly well-mannered and well-dressed, had forgotten the purpose of coming to the library, gathering to whisper and occasionally bursting into strange, lecherous laughter.

The woman and Zhuming were behind the bookshelves.

Seeing the group approaching, she immediately put on a veil, but her eyes, already cold and murderous, were clearly visible!
