In a flash, Xia Yu already arrived at the dungeon Xia Liang had been locked up before.
The Spectral Formation was still perfectly fine but the woman locked in was already gone.
There was no trace of damage to the place just like what happened to Nonstop Realm.
Was it the same bunch of people that rescued Jun Wuqing and Xia Liang?
But Xia Liang"s presence was a top secret. No one else but her knew her existence. Why would they bring her?
"Liang, who was put in here? Why haven"t I ever known such a place before?" Lin Ze wondered.
Xia Yu said with a tough tone, "Don"t ask things you shouldn"t know."
Li Ze was embarra.s.sed and his face turned red. The woman he loved didn"t care about him as much as before.
Looking back, they were not as intimate as before. What happened between them?
Lin Ze wanted to take a walk and have some private time as he thought. So he left this "Xia Liang".
Xia Yu didn"t notice Lin Ze"s situation as she was still angry.
In addition to anger, she also felt horror and anxiety.
Because she knew very well the guilt and crime she had made.
Everything she had now was stolen from Xia Liang. Her Heavenly Spiritual Root and Nimble Cultivating Body both belonged to Xia Liang.
She didn"t kill Xia Liang not because she was kind or what but because she needed a comfort from the fact that Xia Liang was still alive, a proof that she was not a heartless animal.
All things she did to keep Xia Liang alive including giving her the healing elixir were just a way to make herself believe that she still had the conscience.
On the other hand, she was upset and terrified by Xia Liang"s existence because she was evidence that she was not inhuman.
That was why she put Xia Liang in the dungeon and kept her in a cage to torture her every day.
Given time, Xia Liang"s heart was dirty and twisted but on the outside she did things to make herself feel better.
"Ouch…Ouch…" Xia Liang moaned painfully on the bed.
It was the regular time when the body slicing pains broke out every day. The pains were too excruciating to stand. Every time she wished she could get out of the body temporarily or go unconscious.
But the pains kept her wide awake and didn"t allow her to pa.s.s out at all.
She was in a great pain now with pale face, blue lips and red, watery eyes, which made her pathetic and fragile.
Jun Wuqing felt a great pity for her while he was being next to her. His heart hurt because of her so that he even felt hard to breathe.
How he wished that he could take the pains over from her as long as she was fine.
He stroke her on the head and comforted her gently, "Be good. When the elixir isrefined by tomorrow, you won"t feel the pains any more after taking it. I promise this is the last time."
He couldn"t touch any bit of her skin because it would only bring pains to her.
"Okay…" Xia Liang agreed in a great pain. She struggled to look up at Jun Wuqing with her watery eyes. What she didn"t know that there was trust and reliability of him in her eyes.
Looking at her eyes, Jun Wuqing"s hands trembled and his heart ached but was warmed up at the same time, which made him perplexed and at a loss.
This maidservant brought him brand new feelings every time. At the moment, he felt more pains than she did. But when she looked at him with those watery eyes, his heart was melted.
Back when they were still at the Nonstop Realm, Xia Liang nearly couldn"t stand the pains. He was angry and outraged and felt sorry for her because there was nothing he could do.
It was the first time that he started to hate something and hate for a reason.
Because he cared about her.
At that moment Jun Wuqing changed his mind to simply kill Xia Yu.
Killing her was not enough!
He would destroy everything she had and have everyone close to her betray her. Her life would fall from the top to the bottom and never bounce back. She would live in pains that hundreds of times worse than Xia Liang was having right now on a daily basis. And she would live in horror everyday…
But even so, it was still not enough! Far away from enough!
Even so, it was impossible to call it even with what she did to Xia Liang and the pain Xia Liang had suffered.
Therefore, he would prolong the torture as long as possible.
So that she would understand clearly that death would be a better choice than staying alive.
"Hm?" Jun Wuqing came around when Xia Liang touched his hand and looked at her. She was better, meaning that the torture of the body slicing pains was gone. She touched his hand in order to attract his attention.
Jun Wuqing changed his facial expression from utter resentment a second ago to complete affection and tenderness.
"Rest for another moment. I will carry you to have a herbal bath." Jun Wuqing wiped the sweat on her forehead and said gently.
"No bath. I am much better now." Xia Liang refused.
Herbal bath was a "torture" for her.
Because of the man in front of her.
Because in the bathtub, he would carry her in his arms and bite her with teeth, suck her with lips and lick her with his tongue all over her body, leaving hickies on her. And in the end, he would bury himself on the back of her neck and rub the imprint gently and slowly with his teeth, making her tremble every time.
Every time he did that, Xia Liang felt an out-of-the-world joy, which she was not used to. So she refused it.
"You are not behaving. Huh? Are you taking advantage of my kindness? Have you forgotten what you are going to get if you don"t listen to me? You want me to repeat it?" Jun Wuqing lifted her chin up and signaled her with something.
Xia Liang shook her head when she was reminded of the punishment a few days ago.
"Good girl!" Jun Wuqing smiled happily and carried her up from the bed and walked to the herbal pool at the back room.
A man showed up suddenly and reported kneeling down on the floor, "master, we"ve got Lin Ze and thrown him in the dungeon."
"Hm, you go "take good care of him" now. I will come later." Jun Wuqing sounded calmly but with sharp eyes.
The man left instantly as he took the order.
"What"s wrong? What are you thinking? Tell me." When Jun Wuqing looked down at Xia Liang who was absent-minded, he rubbed her head and asked tenderly.
"He called you master, just like me." Xia Liang said, wearing that confusing expression.
"You are different." Jun Wuqing teased her.
You are my precious, my life. They just can"t compare with a hair of yours.
