"I won't make things difficult for you. Take whatever valuable items you find in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, sell them, and turn it all into food for me.
Also, the dowry for this marriage, sell that too.
Turn the real into the fake, the silver into stones. Hurry up, are you waiting for me to eat people?" DAFENG NOVEL NETWORK
Needless to say, Ding Yun was still speaking fiercely. She could feel that if she ate another hundred catties of meat, she could strengthen herself again.
She couldn't take anything from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and she didn't care about the dowry. It was questionable whether a concubine was even qualified to bring things into the imperial palace, let alone that she might not even enter the Wei Kingdom's imperial palace. Why worry about the consequences of selling the dowry and turning it into fakes?
After saying this, Ding Yun, fearing that the threat of merely eating them wasn't enough, specifically added:
"What I eat is not just flesh and blood. Even your souls will be completely digested by me. In your next life, you won't even be fit to be livestock.
What, does anyone want to try?
If not, why aren't you working for me..."
Superstition is good. If they are superstitious, then they must be dealt with according to superstition. Those who aren't afraid of death can mention souls. Anyway, she, a demon, has appeared, and it's not abnormal for souls to reincarnate.
As expected, those who were still hesitant before.
As soon as they heard that being eaten by Ding Yun would scatter their souls and prevent them from reincarnating as pigs or dogs in their next life, and considering that selling off the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion's possessions and exchanging the dowry would at most lead to death, when weighed against each other, being devoured by a demon and having no chance of reincarnation was clearly more terrifying.
So they immediately became busy again, dismantling less conspicuous but presumably valuable items in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, while others went to retrieve and sell the dowry stored there for the princess to take.
Thus, before long, the supply of food that had been cut off.
Was restored, flowing in continuously.
Later, they even brought live sheep and pigs, which were slaughtered and cooked by the mansion's chefs for Ding Yun.
As for the information they reported, it stated that Princess Anping was suspected of being possessed by a hungry ghost or other demons and monsters, having eaten over a thousand catties of food without dying, and was still ravenously consuming raw food, even raw oil.
The message never reached Zhao Jun.
It was intercepted by the responsible official halfway.
Because, in his opinion, this was pure nonsense. How could there be demons and monsters in this world? They were probably trying to deceive people. If he passed on such an obviously false message, wouldn't he be punished?
Therefore, the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple, responsible for this marriage alliance, tacitly agreed not to pass on the relevant news, only demanding that Princess Anping's safety be guaranteed and that there be no more nonsensical talk or superstitious beliefs.
As for the celestial masters that the guards and palace maids were hoping for.
There wasn't a trace.
With no one in charge above and no aid, and simultaneously fearing being eaten by the demon themselves and worrying about harming Princess Anping's body by using special methods.
They could only continue like this, continuously providing food to stabilize the situation. If they could just hold on until the demon was sent off for the marriage alliance, perhaps they could be liberated.
So, things developed quite strangely.
Ding Yun herself was somewhat surprised.
She thought that after eating for a while, the food would run out, there would be a commotion, or something bigger would happen.
However, the reality was that no one seemed to be managing her.
As long as she could suppress the guards and palace maids in the mansion and ensure a steady supply of wealth, she could keep eating.
Therefore, she simply continued to eat.
A subtle balance was reached between the two sides.
Seven days later, Ding Yun's dowry was basically emptied, and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was left with only a shell. All the high-grade timber was replaced with the lowest grade, just enough to prevent collapse, and other less conspicuous items that were not immediately noticeable were all sold off.
This barely ensured that Ding Yun had food for seven days.
And these tens of thousands of catties of food over seven days were not eaten in vain by Ding Yun. She successfully underwent several more reinforcements.
Now, her strength reached thousands of catties,
And her body reached a state of invincibility.
Her skin had the defensive capabilities of heavily tempered steel, and her bones were almost comparable to titanium alloy. Miraculously, her appearance remained unchanged. When she wasn't exerting force, her skin felt soft to the touch.
To test the strength of her skin, Ding Yun specifically asked the guards to hack at her hands and arms with their standard sabers. She successfully discovered that after being hacked by the standard sabers, her hands and arms showed not even a white mark, while the guards were on the verge of collapse.
Their hearts no longer dared to harbor any thoughts of rebellion.
Each of them felt like time was passing extremely slowly, wishing for the next second to be the day the Wei Kingdom's envoy would leave the capital.
To take this devil away.
At the same time, the Wei Kingdom's envoy was also somewhat worried about prolonged delays. After handling all necessary affairs, they quickly expressed their desire to return.
As soon as the news broke.
It was truly moving heaven and earth.
Setting aside what Zhao Jun and the entire court thought about quickly sending off the princess for marriage and the envoy, the palace maids and guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion were truly deeply moved.
If they hadn't seen the envoy still here,
They would have wanted to sing with joy.
Because they would finally be freed from the devil's clutches.
If it had been delayed for another two days, they feared that even if they dismantled and sold the entire Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, they wouldn't have had the money to continue providing food for this monster that had driven up the prices of various ingredients in the capital by twenty percent.
Would they still be alive then?
And Ding Yun, upon learning that she had to leave for the marriage alliance with the Wei Kingdom's envoy the next day, began to consider what to do next. Should she refuse the marriage alliance, cause a scene in the capital, or even, relying on her invulnerable body, directly charge into the imperial palace and kill Zhao Jun to usurp the throne.
Or should she endure for the time being, go for the marriage alliance, and at most use the points she had accumulated during this time to exchange for one or two temporary skills to cause trouble for Zhao Jun.
And then take revenge after accumulating enough strength in the future.
"Although the plan to directly charge into the imperial palace and kill Zhao Jun sounds very satisfying, even if I could kill him, the possibility of successfully usurping the throne is too low.
Since ancient times, no one has successfully usurped the throne single-handedly, let alone that I am a woman.
I'm afraid no one would be willing to follow me.
Even if all the princes and royal relatives were eliminated, the Zhao Kingdom might not fall. After all, if the direct line is gone, there are collateral branches, and vassal kings far from the capital.
And although I am invincible, my stamina is limited, so this plan won't work. If I actually did this plan, I would probably only be able to save my own life.
And kill Zhao Jun, bearing the infamy of matricide.
I wouldn't be able to complete any other tasks."
"It seems I can only continue to endure..."
"However, even if I endure, I must not let Zhao Jun have an easy time. I must choose skills carefully!"
After carefully weighing the pros and cons and calculating the consequences of several imagined plans, Ding Yun finally decided that she had to continue to endure.
She couldn't be too rash.
After all, she was only invincible; she didn't have the ability to stir up rivers and seas or conjure soldiers from bean dregs. She couldn't contend with an entire country alone. Moreover, she couldn't fly or burrow, so escaping wasn't very convenient.
Therefore, she could only take it slow and plan gradually.
At the very least, she would go to Wei Kingdom for a visit.
If all else fails, she could slaughter the Wei royal family, and perhaps return as a hero. At worst, she could become a bandit.
The world is vast, and she is invincible.
Couldn't she still make a name for herself?
