Chapter 721: Well-trained Animal
But, what if someone really gets in?
Nalan Zhengze frowned. He was cautious by nature, and he always followed the principal of killing someone by mistake rather than letting someone go.
Therefore, he found an excuse to leave during the banquet and hurriedly came to the study room.
Nalan Zhengze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the security guards patrolling outside the study room and heard them reported that there was nothing unusual.
When he entered the study room, he found that the array was still intact. He was a little amused that he was too cautious.
But since Nalan Zhengze was here, he decided to check it out so he could rest assured.
A dark red light lit up in the cave, this was the fire attribute crystal stone used for lighting.
The red light illuminated every corner of the small cave, and it finally shined on the young man restrained by the chains in the corner of the cave.
The corner of Nalan Zhengze’s mouth conjured up a satisfied smile.
I was indeed worrying about the impossible thing. Who would have thought that there is such a big secret hidden in my study room? Who could come in here without notifying me?
After the young man saw him, his shrank violently, then he curled his whole body into a corner in a wailing voice. He was shaking slightly.
Thinking of the figures he had just seen, the young man suddenly forgot his fear. He couldn’t help struggling vigorously again, pulling the chains desperately and trying to rush out.
The chains tightened his skin and flesh, causing his hands, feet and neck that were worn out to bleed a little.
Nalan Zhengze condescendingly looked at the noisy young man, and h said with disgust, “What is the fuss? Haven’t you suffered enough?”
As he said, there was a whip in his hand, and he whipped it at the young man.
The whip hit the young man, leaving a few more bloodstains on his already scarred body.
Feeling the pain, the young man screamed. His whole body curled up, shivering and letting out a low whine.
Then Nalan Zhengze retracted the whip with satisfaction. He took out a plate and placed it on the ground.
There was a cluster of green substance that emitted a sour smell on the plate.
Nalan Zhengze sneered, “Eat! After eating enough, you can only supply me with enough blood. Haha, my well-known detoxification pill in the Miluo Continent, Jiuqu Lingshen Pill still has to rely on you to provide me with the main medicine!”
Hexi and Nangong Yu looked at each other in the hidden dark place on the top of the cave, and both eyes showed a shocking expression.
The young man in the corner curled himself up into a ball. He was still whining as if he could not hear Nalan Zhengze’s voice.
Nalan Zhengze frowned. The whip in his hand whipped the ground fiercely, then he said sternly shouted, “Little beast, I ask you to eat it, you hear me?”
The sound of the whip on the ground made the boy tremble violently.
The next moment, the body rushed over like instinct, lying on the ground, sticking out his tongue to lick the sour food on the plate.
In the dark hole, the young man put his hands on the ground, he kneeled down and buried his entire face in the food bowl.
When he was eating, the smelly food covered his face, but he didn’t seem to notice it. He ate very quickly.
In just a few moments, the food on that plate was finished up.
However, the boy’s eating movement did not look like a human at all, but like a well-trained animal.
Chapter 722: Nalan Zhengze’s Resentment
“Look at what kind of monsters you gave birth to. One is a waste without spiritual root, and the other is a natural medicine man. One was abandoned by me in the countryside without enough foods and clothes. Even a servant can bully her. Now that she married to the fat pig, Zhu Zhongba, she is destined to end up miserably; the other one can only be imprisoned by me in this cave like a dog for a lifetime without a name and identity. He can only provide me the main medicine of the Jiuqu Lingshen Pill.”
“An Lingyue, do you regret seeing the end of your two children in hell?”
As Nalan Zhengze said, his face was distorted. His eyes were full of resentment and jealousy. “If you were willing to obey me and become my true concubine and woman, I would naturally treat your children better.”
“It’s all your fault; because you bitch looked down on me! You didn’t even let me touch you, and you even dared to think of leaving with your children. Hehehe... what was the results? This is the results!”
“Do you think that if you secretly seal the secret book and pill prescription in your daughter’s body, I won’t get anything? But you didn’t expect that your son’s blood has miraculous effects... just by digging out the blood and flesh from him, our Nalan Family became famous, and I also became the first physician of Jin Ling Kingdom.”
The cruelty in Nalan Zhengze’s eyes flashed away. He he stared fiercely on the young boy in the corner, “An Lingyue, even if you die, I will never let your children end up well. This is the results of you looking down on me!”
With that said, Nalan Zhengze raised the whip and struck the boy several times before he seemed the anger in his heart and turned and left the secret room.
Nalan Family’s dinner is not over yet, he still has to attend as the host.
Before Nalan Zhengze was completely gone, Hexi jumped down from the sky and landed in front of the young boy.
The young boy was shocked by her appearance. His eyes filled with panic and fear.
But when he saw her face clearly, the purple eyes couldn’t help but show the excitement of eagerness to approach.
Hexi closed hes eyes, endured the brutality and tyranny of wanting to kill somone, and slowly approached the young boy.
There was a whining sound from the young boy’s mouth. His hands on the ground as if he was ready to make a move, and as if he was panicking.
Nangong Yu caught up from behind Hexi, took out the flying sword, and swiftly cut the chains on the young boy’s hands.
Although these chains were forged by dark steels, Nangong Yu held the imitation version of “Sealed Dragon Sword” in his hand, so it could easily cut them off.
After the chains was cut off, the young boy was stunned on the spot.
He didn’t seem to think that he could be free at all. He raised his hands without chains, and there was a confused emotion in his eyes.
Nangong Yu approached and checked the helmet on the boy’s head, and he shook his head at Hexi, “The structure of this helmet is a bit complicated. If I break it open with a sword, the impact of the sword energy may hurt him.”
As soon as Nangong Yu approached, the young boy quickly backed away.
There was a whining sound in his mouth, and his eyes were full of horror and alert, but the feeling Nangong Yu gave him was too strong, making him dare not do anything except shrinking himself into a ball.
Chapter 723: Sinister and Vicious
Hexi took a deep breath, walked slowly to the boy’s side, and slowly squatted down in front of him.
The two similar pairs of phoenix eyes looked at each other, and the purple lights were flickering.
Hexi whispered in a soft tone like she never did it before, “Good boy, sit still and let me see, okay?”
The boy tilted his head and made an inexplicable sound from his throat. Then, like a well-behaved shepherd dog, he squatted with his legs and hands on his chest.
His instinctive reaction made Hexi’s heart sore. Even though he was only Nalan Hexi’s younger brother, seeing his situation, Hexi actually felt distressed.
She didn’t hesitate any more and checked the structure of the helmet.
With just one look, Hexi’s eyes surged with killing intent.
Nalan Zhengze is really sinister and vicious enough. The helmet on his head has a fine needle connected to his brain nerve.
If the helmet is removed forcibly, the needle will pierce the boy’s baihui acupoint, causing him to bleed and die instantly. Even if I’m a miracle healer, I may not be able to save him in time.
Moreover, fortunately, when Nalan Zhengze was here just now, Nangong Yu stopped me from acting rashly.
Because there is a secret array in this helmet, the control js probably in the hands of Nalan Zhengze. As soon as there is a sudden change, Nalan Zhengze is likely to activate the array and let the young boy die together with him.
Hehe, what a vicious Doctor Nalan.
Hexi didn’t dislike the dirty smell of the boy at all. She patted him on the shoulder lightly, and then took out a silver needle.
The silver needle quickly pierced into the helmet several times. After a while, the helmet made a clicking sound.
The needle was ejected upward, and it pierced the top of the cave.
The helmet that was originally covered on the young boy’s head split in half and fell to the ground.
Nangong Yu took the illuminated crystal stone and let the light shined on the young boy’s face.
It was a pale face without a trace of blood. Due to the squeezing of the helmet, this face looked extremely thin, but it could not conceal the outstanding facial features and delicate features of the young boy.
Although this face was not so handsome that it would make everyone in the country move, it was 50% similar to Hexi’s appearance as a man.
Nangong Yu didn’t even have to guess. This should be Nalan Hexi’s real brother.
Hexi stared at the young boy in front of him blankly.
The young man seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the heavy object on his face being removed. His dirty hands kept scratching his own face.
There was a whining sound in his mouth, which sounded like a little puppy.
Hexi reached out and pressed his hand, and said hoarsely, “Don’t move.”
She condensed pure water spiritual power in her palm. It slowly cleansed the mud and food waste on the young man’s hand.
The clean hand looked as pale as his face, thin and skinny.
What was more frightening was that on these hands, there were all fine and dense scars. Some had have not even healed, and they had become red and swollen due to infection.
When she first saw the scars on the young man’s wrist, she initially thought it was all caused by iron chains. Now she discovered that this wasn’t a strangling mark, but... but it was cut by a sharp blade.
Hexi gently stroked the boy’s red and swollen scars, and she asked in a low voice, “Does it hurt?”
The boy seemed to feel her depressed mood, and he immediately made a whining sound.
Then, he made a move that shocked Hexi.
Chapter 724: Sis… ter
Hexi’s whole body froze completely, and she looked at the boy in front of him in disbelief.
The corners of the boy’s mouth were lifted stiffly, as if he was laughing, but it became a weird muscle twitching.
Seeing that Hexi still didn’t smile, he thought she was still in sore pain, so he still grabbed her hand and blew again.
“Xiao Chi!” Hexi let out a cry that was almost **whine, and suddenly reached out her hand to stroke the young boy’s face.
She looked at the young man’s face in a stun, not letting go of any details.
The more she looked, the more she felt they looked alike.
The eyebrows and facial features all seemed to look like her little brother, Xiao Chi who had grown up.
Not Nalan Hexi’s younger brother, but the younger brother, Xiao Chi who ** on her in the orphanage in her previous life!
Hearing her shout, the young man seemed to be stunned. *** and a bewildered and stunned light flashed in his eyes.
The purple eyes also stared at Hexi blankly. Then, like it was a miracle, the young boy opened his mouth and shouted two words in a hoarse and chaotic voice, “Sis… ter…”
Hot tears slipped from Hexi’s eyes, wetting her clothes, but she didn’t notice it.
It was not clear whether the tears belonged to Hexi or Nalan Hexi, but the “sister* hit the softest part of her heart.
Hexi hugged the boy’s dirty and smelly body into her arms and murmured in a trembling voice, “Xiao Chi… Xiao Chi…”
The little figure that stood in front of her again and again to protect her.
The younger brother who was willing to walk into the hellish laboratory for her.
He was the only relative she had in her previous life, and one that couldn’t be replaced by someone else again.
But now, Xiao Chi appeared in front of her.
No matter whether the boy in front of him was Nalan Hexi’s younger brother or Hexi’s younger brother, in this life, she will definitely protect this boy from any harm.
When the boy was embraced by Hexi, he panicked for a moment, and he instinctively wanted to escape.
But slowly, the familiar fragrance from Hexi’s body came into his nose, which was a smell that made her extremely longing and miss.
The young boy’s nervous eyebrows slowly stretched out, and he obediently leaned his head on Hexi’s shoulder. There was a gurgling sound in his throat that resembled a beast being smoothed.
He even turned his head over because of excitement and gently licked the skin on the side of Hexi’s neck to express his intimacy and affection.
Nangong Yu, who had been watching by the side, had been hypnotizing himself that he was Hexi’s brother, so he shouldn’t be jealous and lose his temper. However, he couldn’t bear it anymore.
This little pervert, nevermind that he threw himself into Hexi’s arms (It was clear that Hexi embraced him), you actually dare to lick Xi’er! Are you tired of living?Nangong Yu stepped forward with a cold face, clasped the young boy’s neck with one hand, and lifted him out of Hexi’s arms.
As soon as the boy was pulled away from Hexi, he immediately tightened his nerves. His face was full of fear and alert.
However, when he felt the powerful aura emanating from Nangong Yu, he immediately calmed down.
It was just that the long abusive life made him feel dangerous. He couldn’t help shivering and let out a low, heart-wrenching moan.
Hexi immediately stood up nervously and shouted in a low voice, “Nangong Yu, what are you doing? Don’t you know you will hurt him?”
Nangong Yu frowned, and he looked at the young boy in his hand with more hostility.
Chapter 725: The True and Fake Nalan Ziyun
However, he didn’t show his annoyance on the face. He just said in a gentle expression, “Xi’er, this is not a place for reminiscence, let’s leave here as soon as possible. This kid… eh hem, your brother has been locked up by Nalan Zhengze for so long, he may have did something to him. If he finds out, it will not be good.”
Hexi immediately realized it and looked at Nangong Yu with guilt, “Sorry, I lost my manner just now. You’re right. We have to find a way to prevent Nalan Zhengze from discovering that Xiao Chi is missing.”
Nangong Yu put the teenager on one side, hugged Hexi in his arms, and said softly, “Silly girl, how can I blame you! No matter what you want to do, I will always do it for you. You are the only wife of me, Nangong Yu.”
As he said, he glanced fiercely at the ignorant and somewhat scared young boy. He warned with his eyes: Did you see it, brat? Your sister belongs to me, so stay away from her if you are smart.
Hexi’s face flushed. Her heart was touched and sweet.
If it weren’t for Nangong Yu, I wouldn’t know when I would find my own brother, and whether I could rescue him safely.
Damn Nalan Zhengze, he actually used my brother’s flesh and blood to get the title for Miracle Healer.
He also kept my brother like an animal, letting him live a life that is worse than a pig or a dog.
She originally didn’t have much hatred for Nalan Family. She was just holding the attitude of watching the good show from the side
But now it was different!
Nalan Mansion, Nalan Zhengze; I Hexi swear that I will make them pay thousands of times for what they did before!
Thinking of this, Hexi’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly sneered, “Nangong Yu, can I trouble you to do something for me?”
“En?”
“Bring someone in here for me.”
===
Nalan Ziyun regained consciousness with the smell of rancidity that made him want to vomit.
He opened his eyes in a daze, then he soon saw a thin, pale but handsome young face.
The young man got close to him, looking at him curiously with his head tilted. His eyes flashing with clear doubtful gaze.
“Who are you?!” Nalan Ziyun stretched out his hand and pushed in a panic.
While he was about to push the young boy’s face, the young boy seemed to be frightened. He bit on Nalan Ziyun’s hand.
The sharp teeth tore open his skin, and even his bones felt the bite force. His blood gushed out all of a sudden.
“Ahh—!!” Nalan Ziyun let out an ear-piercing scream as he shrugged his hand.
He felt an even more severe pain. When he took his hand back, he saw that a piece of flesh was bitten off the edge of his left palm.
The intense pain caused a surge of anger and killing intent in Nalan Ziyun’s heart. He, the young master, was so accustomed to being pampered, when did he have suffered such pain and humiliation.
Looking at the young boy, a spine chilling killing intent emitted from his eyes, and the spiritual power on his body fluctuated violently.
The young man bared his teeth, holding a piece of meat in his mouth and showing a nervous, panic and alert expression. His hands were on the ground while he stared straight at Nalan Ziyun.
Suddenly, a slender and white hand, like it was carved by a beautiful jade, lifted him up from the ground.
The hand gently stroked the young man’s hair, and she motioned for him to spit out the meat in his mouth.
Chapter 726: Substitute
Immediately afterward, Nalan Ziyun heard a clear and beautiful voice, “Xiao Chi, you can’t simply eat anything, especially human flesh. Eating it will only dirty your mouth and internal organs. Be good, sister will give you a lot of delicious foods in the future, you can eat as much as you want.”
This voice made Nalan Ziyun’s eyes widened, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He recognized that this was… Nalan Hexi’s voice. Although her voice at this time seemed more attractive than Nalan Hexi’s voice, he definitely recognized her tone when she said “sister”.
Nalan Ziyun’s gaze moved and looked beside the boy.
However, when he saw the person standing next to the young man, he couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Xi Yue?!!! How can it be you?!!!”
That’s right, the person wearing a black costume. His face looked shining under the light of the crystal stone. His handsome face was so pretty that no one could look away.
If that person wasn’t Xi Yue who made brilliant results on Breaking Spirit Mountain that day, who would it be?
But, how could Xi Yue appear here?
And… Nalan Ziyun looked at Xi Yue’s figure.
The tight-fitting black costume outlined the girl’s exquisite curves gracefully and deceptively. It was like a devilish arc, making people couldn’t resist looking at her.
This is clearly a woman? How could he be Xi Yue?
No! No way!
Nalan Ziyun’s eyes widened in shock, and he said in a tremble, “You… are you a woman? Miracle Healer Xi Yue is actually a woman?!”
Hexi didn’t pay attention to him. She poured out a glass of spirit spring water and poured it into Xiao Chi’s mouth, washing away the bloody smell.
At this time, Xiao Chi was already wearing a somewhat large shirt (borrowed by Nangong Yu), and his long sleeves and trouser legs covered the scars on his hands and feet.
His hair had also been washed clean. It was curled up and tied by a jade hair band, showing a pale, thin but handsome face.
It was just that Xiao Chi couldn’t help wanting to scratch his head and face with his hands, so his hair that had just been neatly combed would always be messed up by him.
After drinking the spirit spring water, Xiao Chi immediately showed a happy smile, muttering, “Sis… Sister…”
Hexi’s eyes looked tender as if water was about to flow out. Everytime she heard him calling her sister, she felt that her brother who was dependent with her had back to her side.
The past, that made her despair and resentful, but she couldn’t do anything, also quietly went away.
Xiao Chi took Hexi’s hand and bowed his head to get into her arms.
However, before he could get close to Hexi, he was grabbed by the neck and pulled away.
Xiao Chi let out an unwilling noise and was thrown aside mercilessly.
A pair of hazy eyes stared at Hexi, with a look of longing and admiration, but because he was afraid of the owner of that hand, he didn’t dare to approach her.
Nangong Yu took Hexi into his arms with satisfaction and prevented the little pervert in his mind from taking advantage of Xi’er, then he chuckled softly, “Why? Xi’er wants to replace Xiao Chi with this guy?”
Hexi sneered. Her eyes finally fell on Nalan Ziyun, and she said with a half-smile, “Didn’t Nalan Zhengze always want him to replace Xiao Chi? I’m fulfilling his wish now, isn’t it just right?”
Chapter 727: Thick Face
It wasn’t until he saw Nangong Yu showing up, seeing the intimacy of the two, and hearing Nangong Yu calling her “Xi’er”, he finally trembled uncontrollably.
A terrible guess that he couldn’t believe in death slowly appeared in his brain.
His gaze stared at the beautiful girl in front of him, the girl who was carefully cared by King of Hell, Nangong Yu in his arms, and he said tremblingly, “You... are Nalan Hexi?”
Hexi chuckled, “That’s right, I’m the ugly Nalan Hexi who is useless and has no talent for cultivation in your words. What, are you very surprised?
“No... no! How is this possible?!!!” Nalan Ziyun couldn’t help but let out a sharp shout, “How could you be Nalan Hexi? How could Xi Yue be Nalan Hexi that trash?! How could it be?!!!”
Hexi slowly squatted down, making a gentle smile, then she said slowly, “I have to thank you for this, my dear brother.”
“If it weren’t for you trying to kill Nalan Hexi, so you made an illusion that the crown prince wanted to marry Nalan Hexi as the side concubine, why would Nalan Feixue want to get rid of me? If it weren’t Nalan Feixue trying to get rid of me by selling me into the Gluttonous House, putting me in such a hellish situation, how could I reborn into the Xi Yue today?”
Nalan Ziyun stiffened for a while, and he suddenly screamed, “You... you escaped from the dead, so you had unlocked An Lingyue’s relics?! You became Xi Yue because of An Lingyue’s relics?!”
Nalan Ziyun obviously misunderstood Hexi’s meaning, thinking that her change was because of getting An Lingyue’s relics.
But Hexi didn’t intend to correct him, she looked at him with a half-smile.
Nalan Ziyun thought he guessed it right, so he couldn’t feeling a violent surge in his chest.
An Lingyue’s relics! It really is the relics of An Lingyue!!!
That relics can turn the cowardly, incompetent and unremarkable Nalan Hexi into Xi Yue!!?
That’s Xi Yue, who owns Shengde Hall and is accepted as a discipline by the mysterious and powerful pill refiner. He can heal broken veins and had astounding results in the Breaking Spirit Mountain Big Hunting Match.
Even more shocking is that if Xi Yue is Nalan Hexi, then in just a few months, Nalan Hexi has advanced from a mortal who has no cultivation base to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage?
What a terrifying advancement speed is this?
If... if it was me who got the relics of An Lingyue, then I Nalan Ziyun would definitely stand on the top of the Miluo Continent and be the subject of everyone’s admiration and admiration.
Thinking of this, Nalan Ziyun’s breathing became rapid. He stared at Hexi greedily and resentfully, and he said loudly, “Nalan Hexi, why do you keep mother’s relics for yourself only? You’re An Lingyue’s child, and I’m An Lingyue’s child too. I should have a share of mother’s relics.”
“What’s more, I’m a male. It should be me who really inherits the family business! What do you mean by secretly training using the relics after unlocking it? Are you worthy of your mother?”
Hexi couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.
At this point, Nalan Ziyun could still actually ask her for An Lingyue’s relics in such an righteous manner. She had to admire that his face was really thick.
Chapter 728: Sister Is Mine
“Don’t worry, when I have peerless cultivation become a pill refiner at the grand master level, you will the sister of the grand master. Won’t you feel glorious by the time, right?”
Hexi was about to speak, but she saw the young boy, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly pounced toward Nalan Ziyun fiercely.
Nalan Ziyun’s cultivation was naturally higher than Xiao Chi, but he was in agitated mood at this time. He didn’t pay attention to the surrounding environment, so he was caught off guard by Xiao Chi and got hit the ground.
His face slammed heavily into the mud, and the smell of mud rushed into his nose accompanied by the smell of excrement and urine and the sour smell of food.
There were even a few small bugs that got in through his nose and kept plopping deep into his nose.
Nalan Ziyun was so frightened that he screamed. He got up with difficulty and sneezed out the bugs from his nose.
He glared at the boy who just pushed him down.
However, he saw that the young boy had already rushed to Hexi’s side at this time, clutching her sleeve and showing an aggrieved and panicked expression.
He said in a stuttering voice, “My... sister... My...”
“Xiao Chi be good!” Hexi gently stroked the boy’s face. Her voice was soft and soothing, “Sister has only Xiao Chi, and I will only like Xiao Chi. Xiao Chi, don’t worry.”
Hearing this, the young man immediately calmed down. His eyes were filled with happiness. He rested his hands on his chest like a faithful dog who had just seen its master.
Seeing the young boy’s instinctive actions like a domesticated beast, Hexi sighed. A feeling of sorrow and grief surged in his heart.
Afterward, she looked at Nalan Ziyun and sneered, “Nalan Ziyun, sometimes I can’t help but admire you and Nalan Zhengze for the thick face. Knowing that you are not An Lingyue’s child, knowing that we do not have any blood relationship, but you keep saying [mother’s relics] in front of me.”
“Haha, even if there is a so-called [mother’s relics], what does this have to do with you, Nalan Ziyun?”
Nalan Ziyun’s eyes widened suddenly, and there were waves of unspeakable panic in his heart.
This time he was really panicked. Fear, anxiety, shock and panic all came up together.
He didn’t know where this place was, or why did Nalan Hexi bring him here.
He only remembered that he drugged Hexi. He thought he got it, but he turned around and saw her half-smile face.
Nalan Ziyun thought Hexi brought him here to vent out her anger.
But he never thought that Hexi would want to kill him.
Because Nalan Ziyun was the younger brother of Nalan Hexi, the closest person to her in this world. Even if Nalan Hexi killed everyone, she wouldn’t kill her own brother right?
But at this moment, Nalan Ziyun finally panicked.
Nalan Hexi actually suspected that he was not her own brother. How could this be possible? Didn’t his father say that when Nalan Hexi’s real brother died, she was only four or five years old, and she didn’t remember anything at all?
Nalan Ziyun suppressed the panic in his heart, and he forced an awkward smile, “Sister, what are you talking about? Who else would I be if I’m not your brother?”
Chapter 729: Struggling Desperately
“Sister, don’t joke anymore. Its my fault last night. I shouldn’t set you up with Nalan Feixue. But I, but I can’t help it. Nalan Feixue and Nalan Yurong forced me to do so. If I don’t do this, they will kill me.”
“Actually, I... I have planned to steal the antidote for sister after they left. I definitely won’t let sister marry Zhu Family. Sister, you believe me, okay?”
Hexi raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Nalan Ziyun, I’m so curious. Didn’t you keep saying that you didn’t have a useless sister like me? Nalan Zhengze told you in the study room that when you and I are not real brothers and sisters, aren’t you very happy? Why did you suddenly change your mind just now? You keep calling sister, do you think the word, sister is cheap?”
“You...how do you know?!!!” Nalan Ziyun yelled in horror, “How do you know what my father said to me in the study room... You... Nalan Hexi, are you a human or a ghost? What else did you discover?”
Hexi’s eyes were faint and cold. She sneered, “What did I discover? Nalan Zhengze said that I’m not his biological daughter, does that count? You said you wanted to pretend to be my brother and defraud An Lingyue’s relics from me, does that count? You two planned to marry me to the Zhu Family to let me be tortured so that I will seek help from Nalan Family and hand out An Lingyue’s relics in the end, does that count?”
The more Hexi said, the more Nalan Ziyun’s body trembled, and the panic on his face became more and more obvious.
His body moved back unconsciously, and his voice was trembling, “Nalan Hexi, you... what do you want to do? Don’t forget that I’m the young master of the Nalan Family, if you... you kill me, my father won’t let you go! And... and although you are not the child of Nalan Family, Nalan Family has done its duty to support you for so many years. You... how can you requite kindness with enmity? Wouldn’t you be afraid of being punished by God?”
“Done its duty to support me for so many years?” Hexi couldn’t help laughing. “YDo you know? Your dear father, Nalan Zhengze, was standing here just now. He said, An Lingyue’s two children, one was raised into a useless person and left in the courtyard to be bullied. Even the servants can beat and scold her. The other was tortured by him in every possible way, living a live that was worst than an animal. Is this what doing its duty to support me for many years like you said?”
Endless panic surged in Nalan Ziyun’s heart. His body was trembling as he shouted incoherently, “I don’t know; I really don’t know anything; it has nothing to do with me... I... I’m even Qixing Palace’s disciple. If you kill me... you will not end well. Please, don’t kill me... don’t!”
As he spoke, he saw Nangong Yu. He rushed over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Nangong Yu, “Your Highness King of Hell, help me; please help me. I’m the young master of Nalan Family, as long as you save me, Nalan Family will become your possessions and work for you. And... and my beautiful elder sister, she is Master Xukong’s disciple. If you want, I... ...I can give her to you as a concubine!”
Chapter 730: Beg For Mercy
“I, I’m my father’s most important son. In the future, I will be able to inherit the Nalan Family. The Jiuqu Lingshen Pill prescription of the Nalan Family will definitely fall into my hands. Your Highness King of Hell, as long as you save me... all these are yours... please, save me!”
Nangong Yuhalf half-smiled and glanced at Nalan Ziyun who was kneeling and kowtowing at him. He then looked at Hexi and said helplessly, “Xi’er, there are always people who want to give me a woman. But Xi’er can rest assured, my heart only has you. I will definitely... protect my chastity for you!”
Damn your chastity! Hexi pushed away the head that came close. She said irritably, “Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense.”
Nangong Yu only squeezed her little hand with a smile, and he stopped talking.
The atmosphere between the two was intimate and sweet, but in Nalan Ziyun’s eyes, his heart sank a little bit.
Obviously, His Highness King of Hell only had Nalan Hexi in his eyes. He would not save Nalan Ziyun at all.
Nalan Ziyun suddenly looked at Hexi and said tremblingly, “Third Sister, you... let me go, I’ll steal the Jiuqu Lingshen Pill prescription from father’s hand for you, okay? Right... right...”
Nalan Ziyun seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and he immediately said loudly, “Third Sister, I heard father said that he... he still has a trump card in his hand that can control you. He mentioned that as long as he still has this in his hand, you... you have to listen to him. Even if you marry to King of Hell, you will come back obediently.”
“Third Sister, you... don’t you want to know what father has in his hand? I... I can help you find out. As long as you don’t kill me... I will help you... Third Sister!”
Hexi slowly squatted down and looked at him again, then she looked into his eyes and chuckled, “Nalan Ziyun, don’t you know what Nalan Zhengze’s trump card is? But, I know! Should I tell you?”
Nalan Ziyun trembled again. He widened his eyes in fear.
Hexi continued, “Do you know? I came to this place with difficulties. Do you know what this place is? This is the underground of the Nalan Zhengze’s study room.”
“In this underground, I found this cave. There was a young man in the cave. He had an iron chain on his body and an iron helmet on his head. He couldn’t speak, and he could only make the sound of beasts. He ate and execreted in this cave everyday. All living environments are only this square land. The rancid smell of excrement, rotten and moldy meals, daily whipping and insults, fear and pain of blood dripping from the cut wound... He was enduring all these every day.”
Hexi said slowly. Her voice became cold and dull as if it contained gruesome killing intent, “I was hiding above this cave, and I saw Nalan Zhengze walked in here, whipped the young man, and threw a dish of rotten food, let him kneel down like a beast to lick... Then he said, An Lingyue, look at what your biological son looks like now...”
“My dear brother, you say, who is the biological son of An Lingyue in Nalan Zhengze’s mouth?”
Nalan Ziyun’s whole body seemed to be frozen. Fear and despair made his blood cold, and his hands and feet even trembled uncontrollably.
His gaze move slowly, and it finally landed on the young boy beside him.
The young boy tilted his head, met his gaze, grinned, and stared at him fiercely as if to warn him not to rob his sister. He was even making beast-like roars from his mouth.
