Chapter 40: Crazed Cruelty

However, He Xi did not know that after Wu Yu bought Nalan Hexi, he received the order to meet his master. Before he could tell his subordinates about Nalan Hexi’s worth, he hurried off to meet his master. When he came back, he found out that his subordinates had locked Nalan Hexi up in the inquisition room as a low-life slave; and the low-level cultivators in the room were all killed by Nalan Hexi.

This was really a not-so-beautiful misunderstanding!

“Third Missy, I’m speaking the truth! Please, have mercy on me!”

As Zhang Dezhong was kowtowing and begging for mercy with all his might, he was observing He Xi secretly at the same time. When he saw that she was in a daze, an evil thought popped up in his brain; and he secretly placed his unharmed hand in his pocket.

“B*tch! Go die!” Zhang Dezhong mustered all his spiritual powers as he held a flame burst amulet and threw it towards He Xi harshly. “B*tch, how dare you treat me this way? You’re really looking for death!”

No matter how powerful He Xi was, she was just a civilian with no cultivation. Previously, he was not careful enough so she could use magic to seal his spiritual powers. Now that his spiritual powers were recovering, why would he care about the mere girl?

Nalan Hexi, I only wanted to play with you and let you off after I’ve ruined you a little. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for killing you mercilessly!

Zhang Dezhong’s face revealed an arrogant and contorted smile, but at the next second, his smile froze.

The flame burst amulet made a loud explosive sound and swept up all the dust on the floor. However, after the dust settled, there was no one in front of him—let alone Nalan Hexi’s badly mangled look.

Zhang Dezhong widened his eyes in horror and was numb to rocks and sand entering his agape mouth.

Suddenly, his throat was held by a cold and smooth hand. Then, there was a clear voice that sounded like the devil from hell ringing at his ear. “You see, I wanted to spare your life, but you didn’t give me the chance to!”

After she finished her sentence, countless invisible needles entered his brain. Zhang Dezhong felt that his entire body went jelly, and his head was heavy. Other than terror, he was petrified. After everything, he lost his consciousness.

Looking at Zhang Dezhong’s dumb and non-resistant expression, there was a flash of cold smile in her eyes as she asked the previous few questions again. Zhang Dezhong, the puppet being controlled, did not hide anything from her and explained everything clearly… including things that he could and could not say.

There were not many discrepancies between the truth and what he said during the interrogation. Just that, He Xi did not expect Nalan Feixue’s original intentions were to not only get Zhang Dezhong to sell Nalan Hexi off at the butcher market.

She also wanted him to watch personally how she would be insulted by the lowly slaves before he could go back and get his reward.

Luckily, Zhang Dezhong had accidentally heard what Si Qin—Nalan Feixue’s personal maid—said and felt that Nalan Hexi was valuable so he sold her to Tao Tie Pavilion, saving her from the miserable ending.

Before Zhang Dezhong could go buy a safe to store his Yuan Jings after he received them, his gambling addiction kicked in so he hid all his Yuan Jings in this place while he rotted at Long Happiness Lane for two whole days.

After listening to Zhang Dezhong’s explanation, He Xi started to have murderous intentions towards Nalan Feixue.

Not only did she want to sell off her half-sister because of her beloved, but she even came up with such a sinister idea to ruin the life of an innocent lady. She was cruel and out of her mind.
