"Hehe, you're smart!"
In the One-Eyed Dragon's eyes, I'm probably already a dead man, so he admitted it quite readily: "Boy, in your next life, learn to be smarter. The mighty dragon never suppresses the local snake. You're acting recklessly on someone else's turf; no one would let you off."
Another man chimed in noisily, "Your status is too prominent. The Eldest Princess fears that leaving you alive will cause future troubles, so she asked us brothers to take care of you. If you're smart, you can die a little easier. Remember to seek revenge on the Eldest Princess in your next life. We brothers are just following orders..."
"Old Jiu, why bother talking to him? Get on with it!"
Someone impatiently shouted, "Finish him off; we still need to take care of that little woman and the kids. Hurry up; if you keep talking, it'll be daylight soon..."
