Star-Picking Overlord drifted lightly down before the three women, smiling as he said:
"Savages, what are your names? What is your relationship with Chu Qing?"
The three women smiled. After exchanging glances, the identical-looking woman said brightly, "My name is Mingyue. I'm Brother Qing's friend!"
"And you, outsider?"
The other noblewoman smiled. "Me? Princess Consort!"
"And you, outsider?"
Star-Picking Overlord laughed. "Excellent!"
"Since you are Chu Qing's friends, then you must know where this building is weakest, right?"
Mingyue blinked and chuckled. "Do you think I'm stupid? Why would I tell you that?"
Star-Picking Overlord threw back his head and laughed. "You aren't stupid!"
"But if you refuse to speak, I'll torture you mercilessly and let you taste every agony in the mortal world."
"Rather than tell me this building's weak point through suffering, you might as well tell me now."
Mingyue tilted her head in thought, then nodded vigorously. "That makes sense!"
"You want to use the building's weak point to threaten Brother Qing into working for you, right?"
Star-Picking Overlord nodded.
"Come on, I'll take you there!"
Star-Picking Overlord... it was that easy?
One minute later:
Star-Picking Overlord stared at the thick stone pillar, his mind unable to process it.
"This is the weakest spot?"
Mingyue nodded smugly. "That's right. When I designed this building, its strongest place was also its weakest."
Star-Picking Overlord looked at Mingyue's clear eyes, then recalled how smoothly everything had gone just now. Suddenly, he realized that he had been deceived—played for a fool.
Then, he became furious.
"You actually dared deceive and toy with an Overlord?"
"You are—courting death!"
At that moment, the enraged Star-Picking Overlord suddenly struck, reaching for Mingyue.
"I'll teach them a little lesson and let them know just how miserable the consequences of offending an Overlord can be!"
