“Bai Yin, why isn’t Imperial Uncle out yet? I’m waiting to tell him the good news.” Dugu Yao was wearing a scarlet long dress. She was as beautiful as a blooming pomegranate flower, and she had an unusually bright aura.
Bai Yin was businesslike as she lowered her head and replied, “Your Highness, please wait a moment.”
“That won’t do. It’s too boring for me to wait like this. I want you to play with me like usual. Come and accompany me to relieve my boredom, alright?” Dugu Yao was like a clingy little demon. She got up and walked towards Bai Yin. She stretched out her arms and wheedled as she wrapped them around Bai Yin’s arm. “The silver needles 1 brought this time are thicker than the last time. It will definitely be more interesting.”
Bai Yin watched as Dugu Yao took out a small box of silver needles from her pocket as if she was presenting a treasure. Just as she was about to speak, she was slapped in the face.
Half of Bai Yin’s face was crooked from Dugu Yao’s slap, and blood dripped from the corners of her mouth.
“Bai Yin, if you don’t listen to me, I’ll tell Imperial Uncle.” Dugu Yao took out a silver needle three to four times thicker than an ordinary embroidery needle and handed it to Bai Yin. “Alright, let’s begin.”
Bai Yin fell silent. After taking the silver needle, she stabbed it into her left thumb.
Her nails and flesh were pried open by the silver needles, and blood flowed out from under her nails. A sharp pain attacked, and thin, cold sweat seeped out of Bai Yin’s forehead.
Instead of resisting, Bai Yin picked up another silver needle and inserted it between her fingers into her index finger.
Blood flowed out, and Bai Yin’s movements appeared to be even more difficult. She stabbed another silver needle into her middle finger.
“Hehe, looks like an expressionless, sacrificial soldier like you can also feel pain. But every time it’s this way of playing, I’m a little tired of it.” Dugu Yao stood in front of Bai Yin and grabbed the silver needle that pierced between her thumb’s fingers. She exerted a little strength. “They say that the pain of pulling your fingernail out forcefully is the most unbearable. I wonder if it will hurt more if I use the silver needle inserted between my fingers to pry your fingernail off?”
Bai Yin’s body trembled uncontrollably, but she didn’t dare retract her hand and could only let Dugu Yao move.
Dugu Yao revealed an innocent smile and exerted strength.
The tearing sound of the nail and the nail bed being forcefully separated was extremely clear. Blood flowed out of the wound, and Bai Yin’s body trembled in pain.
Dugu Yao didn’t stop and forcefully pried off Bai Yin’s index fingernail.
Then, it was the middle finger, ring finger, little finger, and the thumb of her other hand.
Dugu Yao’s movements were very focused. She pried off Bai Yin’s ten fingernails and looked at her fingers, which had become ten blood sticks. Then, she looked down at the bloodstains on the hem of her dress.
“Useless slave, you actually dare to dirty my dress.” The smile on Dugu Yao’s face instantly disappeared. She flew up and kicked Bai Yin away fiercely.
Bai Yin flew out and hit the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Dugu Aoyun walked out in a black robe and looked at Bai Yin, who had fallen in front of him. “What’s wrong? Yao’er, don’t you usually like to play with Bai Yin the most?”
“What’s the point of constantly torturing her? Little Uncle, I’m tired of playing with the people around you. When are you going to get me some new toys? I still like humans. They’re weak and timid. They scream desperately after a little torment. It’s especially interesting,” Dugu Yao said with a pout.
“You can choose any human slave in the Ghost Capital. You can bring anyone you want back.” Dugu Aoyun sat down on a soft couch not far away.
Dugu Yao’s eyes lit up. She leaned forward, leaned her head on Dugu Aoyun’s leg, and sat at his feet. “1 don’t want those spineless humans. Imperial Uncle, the Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline in my body have already been cultivated to the seventh level. I want Imperial Uncle to give me a special reward.”
Dugu Aoyun’s palm slowly stroked Dugu Yao’s smooth hair, as if he was talking to an obedient dog. “As long as you want it, no matter what it is, I’ll satisfy you.”
As Dugu Aoyun raised his hand, all the palace maids and eunuchs who served him left.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Dugu Yao no longer hid her relationship with Dugu Aoyun. She changed her words and smiled. “Father, I want the girl Huo Junhan likes.”
Dugu Aoyun’s palm, which was originally gently caressing Dugu Yao, stopped. He stared at Dugu Yao coldly. “What did you say?”
Dugu Yao beamed with joy and didn’t notice the dangerous aura emitted by Dugu Aoyun at all. “I said I wanted the girl who escaped from our ghost race! I want that woman named Shen Yaowei to be my slave. I’ll prove to you that there’s nothing special about Shen Yaowei. Huo Junhan was bewitched by her because Huo Junhan is a useless trash…!”
Smack!
Before Dugu Yao could finish speaking, she was ruthlessly slapped on the cheek. She opened her mouth and spat out a few broken teeth stained with blood. She looked at Dugu Aoyun in disbelief. “Father?”
“You dare to compare yourself to Huo Junhan?” Dugu Aoyun looked at Dugu Yao as if he was looking at something unbearable. “Do you know how pure his Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline is? He’s a genius that only appears once in a thousand years. If he was willing to rule the ghost race, how would our ghost race end up in such a state?”
At the mention of Huo Junhan, Dugu Aoyun wasn’t only angry but also felt that it was a pity!
For nearly a thousand years, he had been searching for the ghost race with the purest Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline.
However, even though he had cultivated the most talented Dugu Yao for hundreds of years, it had only helped her practice the Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline to the seventh level.
In comparison, Huo Junhan had already reached the ninth level without cultivating much. In the future, if he focused on cultivating, with his talent, he would definitely be able to cultivate his bloodline to greater mastery and become the king of the ghost race!
At that time, what was there to be afraid of about a mere human?
However, Huo Junhan chose to oppose the ghost race and even heavily injured Dugu Aoyun after messing around.
Dugu Aoyun was extremely angry, but he yearned for such a talent in his heart. He even felt that it was a pity for Huo Junhan’s death.
“Father…” Dugu Yao had never received such treatment. She was filled with unwillingness. “Father, Huo Junhan is already dead. Shen Yaowei is just a plaything to us!”
“After 1 recover, I naturally have to open the spatial door between me and the human race again and kill that b.i.t.c.h personally. Shen Yaowei is my prey. Even you can’t touch her!” A bloodthirsty light rolled in Dugu Aoyun’s eyes as he looked down at Dugu Yao. “Moreover, you’re not qualified to kill Shen Yaowei. If it weren’t for that woman, Huo Junhan wouldn’t have such deep feelings for the human race. Once he inherits the throne of the ghost race, you’ll become an abandoned child. You should be grateful to Shen Yaowei.”
Dugu Yao’s entire body trembled, as if she had suffered a great humiliation. “Father, how can you say that to me?! I’m your favorite daughter!”
Sensing the impure aura of the Ten Thousand Evil Bloodline spreading from Dugu Yao’s body, Dugu Aoyun was even more annoyed. He raised his hand and waved, sending Dugu Yao out with a spatial sweep.
Dugu Yao was originally shouting, but only after being sent to her residence did she realize what had happened.
Dugu Yao looked shocked and sat on the ground in a daze, unable to recover. “Father is actually so angry over a b.a.s.t.a.r.d born of a human and a ghost.. Father
isn’t even willing to give me the woman that b.a.s.t.a.r.d likes…”
