If there were truly such things as karmic retribution, she would have died eight hundred times already.
She thought to herself, these mere mortals, facing their deaths yet still making arrogant claims, don't they see under whose authority they stand and whose orders they follow here?
King Zhou saw the palace attendants fall into the pit, where hungry snakes coiled around them, biting at their skin, burrowing into their bellies, causing immense pain.
Daji watched, laughing joyfully, and softly said: "These rebels dare to insult Your Majesty. Without such harsh punishments, how could the palace walls be intimidated?"
King Zhou, having witnessed the venomous basin, felt delighted and said with a laugh, "The method of my beloved wife is ineffable."
Laughter echoed from the Star Pick Building, but the palace attendants watching were utterly terrified.
