Chapter 600: Chapter 600: Live Long and Prosper

Baili Hengyuan, who had been watching the events unfold, now understood who the person Zhong Niangyao had referred to as being in greater need.

He couldn’t help but burst into laughter, giving Zhong Niangyao a thumbs up, “Nianyao, you did very well. That’s right, since Huang Wan is already close to death, that good thing really is wasted on her.”

Especially seeing Yi Huai trying to endure but suffering immensely, Baili Hengyuan felt his own pent-up anger dissipating significantly.

At this moment, Yi Huai was enduring an inhuman torture. Now he finally understood the kind of pain his wife had endured before.

Just a moment ago, he could swear with certainty that he was willing to take her place. But now that the pain was truly on him, he realized he had overestimated himself. Such pain made him really want to just die and be done with it.

Huang Wan, standing on the side, opened her mouth after seeing Yi Huai’s miserable state and took a step as if she wanted to do something. But the foot that had barely stretched out soon retracted itself.

Leaning against the wall, she could barely stand. Going forward now would be completely useless to her. Moreover, she was genuinely scared of that pain, fearing it would fall upon her again.

Zhong Niangyao rested her cheek in one hand, watching the unfolding scene with great interest.

It seemed that this couple who were supposedly so in love was not as devoted as imagined! She wondered if Yi Huai, after feeling such pain several more times, would blame it all on Huang Wan. After all, if not for Huang Wan, he wouldn’t have had to endure such pain.

As for Huang Wan, her life was not going to last many more days. Facing the impending death day by day, would she also resent her husband for being incapable of saving her?

If it were someone else, maybe they wouldn’t blame their spouse, considering everything the husband had done was for her. But Huang Wan was a very selfish person, which was evident from her behavior from the beginning until now.

She had not a shred of guilt regarding Baili Le Yao. But during those moments of suffering, her eyes revealed hate. Yi Huai had done so much, even risked losing everything, to extend her life and seize Baili Le Yao’s talent. Yet now, facing Yi Huai’s agony, she showed no reaction.

Clearly, Huang Wan did not have deep feelings for Yi Huai. Her appearance here today was not out of concern for Yi Huai but simply to rid herself of pain.

She probably didn’t expect things to turn out this way in the end!

If there was someone who was thoroughly enjoying this, it was Baili Hengyuan. Having seen Huang Wan and Yi Huai, who had harmed Baili Le Yao, receive their punishment, his mood was exceptionally pleasant.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yi Huai started to feel the pain receding slowly from his body. He collapsed to the ground, propping himself up with his hands to avoid falling disgracefully.

However, even so, his condition was not much better. His hair was disheveled, his forehead covered in sweat, his lips pale, and he had even bitten his mouth bloody.

“How does it feel?” Zhong Niangyao asked, smiling at Yi Huai, “A moment ago, you were adamantly stating that you did all this, that it had nothing to do with your wife, right? That whatever revenge I sought should be directed solely at you. Look, now I’m doing just that. Is it bearable?”

Having experienced such pain, Yi Huai had no strength left in his body, so weak he couldn’t even speak.

But he still tried to lift his head, looking at Zhong Niangyao, his lips trembling as he spoke, “You… you’re truly despicable.”

“Oh no no, I’m just repaying a grudge with a grudge,” she countered.

Even faced with the insult, Zhong Niangyao’s mood remained unaffected, her smile still beaming, “Based on your behavior just now, one would have thought that even though you act venomously and mercilessly, you might at least be a man. Now it seems you’re truly gutless!”

Such words, which were almost like a direct insult, made Yi Huai’s pale face flush with a tinge of anger.

But before he could retaliate, Zhong Niangyao’s next words drained all color from his face once again.

“Don’t be too anxious, it’s just the beginning. Presumably, you’ve seen your wife during her attacks. What you’ve endured so far is child’s play. In the future, you’ll experience attacks every day, unpredictable in timing and duration. But there’s one thing for certain, the pain you endure will become more severe each time.”

At this point, Zhong Niangyao blinked her eyes, the malicious smile on her face growing even brighter, “Another thing you can be sure of is that as painful as it will be, it won’t kill you. So, you can live a long life and die a natural death.”

“Of course, if you decide to commit suicide to end your life, that’s a different story.”

She believed that in the end, Yi Huai would rather die.

However, not everyone has the courage to commit suicide. Especially when the pain wasn’t constant but intermittent. This gave people time to catch their breath, unwittingly raising a sliver of hope.

Alternating between such hope and despair, even the strongest of minds would probably be driven mad in the end!

Thinking this, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Lu Yichen, then nodded in deep agreement.

This Evil Qi really was a must-have weapon for harming others at home!

Although Lu Yi had no idea what Zhong Niangyao was thinking at the moment, he found her nodding at him cute.

He couldn’t resist reaching out to stroke Zhong Niangyao’s hair, his eyes filled with adoration.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, this inappropriate scene suddenly emerged, leaving one at a loss for words.

Baili Hengyuan, observing the interaction between Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, still found Lu Yichen, the man who had taken away his granddaughter, somewhat disagreeable. But considering the help Lu Yichen had provided in the past, he felt he could restrain himself.

As for Yi Huai and Huang Wan, upon witnessing this scene, they found it extremely irritating. Unfortunately, although they weren’t helpless prisoners, their situation was dire, and here, they had no right to speak.
