Chapter 274 - Chapter 274There was a set of expensive gold-threaded zhennan tables and chairs placed near the window, and on them was a set of pink peach tea set for the spring. The quality of the tea set looked extremely good, the bronze crane smoke furnace burned with a refreshing fragrance, a screen of eight sides spread across the east wall, and on top of the screen was a picture of a pine tree and a bright moon.
Su Lei couldn"t help but touch the screen, her eyes were full of admiration. She had never entered such a luxurious and impressive house, nor did she ever think that she would one day be able to live in such a house. She even thought that as long as she stayed for a few more days, it would be worth it even if she died.
"Miss Su hasn"t eaten yet, right? The prince has ordered this servant to prepare some exquisite food for Miss Su." The young maid took out a plate of delicate food from the exquisite Violet Trembling Wood Eating Box.
There were hibiscus cake, peach blossoms cake, flounder pearl soup, and many other dishes that she had never seen before or could not name. When the pastries were eaten, the taste buds on the tip of her tongue would faint, and beside her would be the figure of a young maid laying dishes for her. Su Lei suddenly felt that all those years she had lived for were in vain, and this was the rich days that she wanted.
After eating her fill, Su Lei sat on the wooden bench and started to ponder. Why did Xie w.a.n.g bring her back to the manor to eat and drink? Was it because of her face? No, it was the face of someone who yearned for this face. Thinking about this, a trace of loneliness and sorrow flashed across Su Lei"s face, but then she thought, if she could rely on this face to make a fortune for the rest of her life, then that would be great, too.
Miserable screams came from the dark and damp dungeon. Yun Xie sat indifferently at the side, took a sip from the teacup in her hand, each of her actions was n.o.ble and elegant, incompatible with the blood in the dungeon. Her pair of ice-cold eyes occasionally swept across Yan He"s body, as if she was the Yama of Fate.
Xuan Li ruthlessly whipped Yan He"s body with the salt water soaked whip. Yan He"s miserable cries became louder and louder, and when Xuan Li suddenly swung with more strength, Yan He"s cries suddenly stopped.
Xuan Li disdainfully curled her lips: "What a p.u.s.s.y, you don"t get beaten up that much."
Yun Xie lightly swept a glance at the unconscious Yan He, and said indifferently: "Wake him up for this duke. Even if you don"t sleep tonight, you will at least come to a conclusion."
Xuan Li poured the ice-cold water down Yan He"s head. Yan He"s entire body shivered as he woke up, his eyes filled with endless fear.
Yun Xie played with the cup in her hand. Her expression was leisurely, but the words that came out were abnormally cold: "There are ninety-nine different kinds of penalties in this dungeon, and this king doesn"t mind if Shopkeeper Yan can taste all eighty-one different kinds of penalties."
Yan He"s heart sank into the ice cave. The wounds all over his body were as if they had been bitten by millions of ants and his entire body was as if he had walked through h.e.l.l"s gates. If he had experienced these eighty-one types of punishments, he would undoubtedly die, but if he had told them the location of the w.a.n.gfei he would only die faster.
Xuan Li opened the embroidered box. Inside, there were silver needles of different lengths and sizes. Xuan Li picked them up and put them back.
The corner of Yun Xie"s mouth held a cold smile, "Shopkeeper Yan, if these silver needles could pierce into your ten fingers, it would be such a wonderful thing. This king would really be looking forward to your performance."
Xuan Li pierced silver needles into Yan He"s fingers. These silver needles were stuck close to Yan He"s fingernails, almost peeling his nails off his fingers. The pain that came from stabbing his fingers into his heart made Yan He"s face completely pale, beads of perspiration trickling down his forehead.
Yan He had never experienced this kind of pain before. He gasped as he looked at Yun Xie, this man was simply a devil, he believed that as long as he did not say anything, Yun Xie would torture him endlessly.
"Alright, I"ll speak." Yan He feebly said.
Yun Xie laughed and sighed, "If Shopkeeper Yan had told me earlier, why would he have gone through all this suffering?"
"I"m afraid that an accident has already befallen the w.a.n.gfei." The corner of Yan He"s mouth revealed a perverted smile. They had tormented him for so long, and now they could taste the feeling of having their hearts in a frying pan.
endured his anger and coldly looked at Yan He. He wished he could slice Yan He into a thousand pieces, but right now, the sound of footsteps was gradually approaching, and when Shangli walked into the dungeon, he leaned over and whispered a few words into Yun Xie"s ear. Yun Xie suddenly shot a glance at Yan He, and that gaze of his seemed to look as if he could slice Yan He into a thousand pieces.
"Manager Yan, if you don"t try the eighty-one punishments in the dungeon, won"t you be wasting your time?"
Could it be that Yun Xie already knew the whereabouts of the w.a.n.gfei? Impossible! The few people who had made the detour into the Evil Realm under her command were all Death Soldiers that he had spent great effort to cultivate, so it was impossible for them to leak a single detail.
Xuan Li lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, don"t worry. Your subordinate will not let you die before you have attempted all of these punishments."
At this moment, Yan He finally understood what despair was.
Without even looking at Yan He, Yun Xie walked out of the prison. He looked to the west of the prison and said indifferently: "How has Ning Zheyan been these past few days?"
Shangli replied: "His body is a little weak, but his mental state has always been good."
In truth, Ning Zheyan was still a little impressed with him. He had used all the punishments in the dungeon on Ning Zheyan, but he hadn"t even made a sound. Ning Zheyan, who was originally dressed in luxurious clothing, would definitely be scared to the point of peeing her pants when she saw this scene.
An idea flashed through Yun Xie"s mind. He slightly curled the corner of her lips and said with a smile: "Send some ginseng soup to him tonight."
He did not want Ning Zheyan to die because he feared the powers of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, but because he wanted to make a business deal with them. Although he hated the dark organizations like the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, the Heavenly Demon Pavilion had hidden their spies in every corner of the Nine Prefectures.
Yun Xie pa.s.sed a transfer talisman to Shangli. "Tonight, you will bring red secret guards to the Evil Realm, no matter what happens, you must bring back the w.a.n.gfei."
Shangli was a little shocked. He thought that Yun Xie would impatiently try to save Wei Yuanwei.
Yun Xie seemed to have seen through his thoughts, as he said indifferently: "Mo City still has a lot of things that I need to do."
Shangli cupped her hands: "Well, this subordinate will not fail his mission."
After all, they were ten days away from the Evil Realm. If they were to travel during the night, it would take seven to eight days to reach there, and if they were to travel by water, it would take three to four days, but the majority of the forces in the water path were controlled by the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, so the Duke did not wish to alarm the Heavenly Demon Pavilion.
