"Comics? What are comics?"

Chapter 624 Imprisoned
"Zhou Qingyan, you are not interested in me, are you..." Du Xiaoqin is usually fearless and has never been afraid of anything, but at this moment she said tremblingly.
This sentence woke Zhou Qingyan from her sweet dream. She looked at Du Xiaoqin with disgust and said, "What are you dreaming about?"
"Then why are you staring at me like that?" Du Xiaoqin retreated to the wall and looked at her vigilantly.
"Do you still remember when we first met?" Zhou Qingyan smiled strangely, "Back then you participated in the Miraculous Medicine Conference and saved me."
Du Xiaoqin said with a wooden face, "I don't really want to hear it."
She felt that being locked up in a dungeon was not scary at all, as the worst that could happen was death.
However, listening to your mortal enemy staring at you with strange eyes and recounting what happened when you first met... this is very scary.
Zhou Qingyan pinched her fiercely with her long nails and ordered, "Who do you think you are now? Are you still that noble young lady? You are nothing more than my prisoner. If I tell you to listen, you must listen!"
She held up Du Xiaoqin's face again and said, "I thought you were so beautiful when we first met. I swear, I will either get your face or destroy it completely!"
Du Xiaoqin didn't know the truth and only found it absurd and funny: "Everyone in Qingzhou City knows that you are a beauty, and in everyone's eyes, I am just a second-rate person. How dare you want to get my face?"
However, when she met Miss Zhou's gaze, she could no longer smile.
This look was full of infatuation and jealousy, and also concealed a hint of twisted greed.
Like a hungry evil ghost, he wants to satisfy his desires with human blood.
"Are you serious?" she asked in disbelief, her tone unconsciously softened, as if she was afraid of alarming something.
Isn't it just a girls' beauty contest? She doesn't understand why it has to be a life-and-death struggle.
In the eyes of the people of Qingzhou City, she is no match for Zhou Qingyan, the fairy from other world, so why should Zhou Qingyan force her?
Zhou Qingyan ignored her, as if already immersed in her beauty, and her hands, painted with bright red nail polish, began to slide all over her face again. The cool touch was so terrifying in Du Xiaoqin's heart.
"You're crazy." Du Xiaoqin couldn't help but murmur, "You're really crazy—Zhou Chenghe, your daughter is crazy, why don't you take her to get treated quickly?!"
Zhou Chenghe, holding a sword, stood quietly at the prison door like a petrified statue.
Du Xiaoqin did not feel desperate, she just felt disgusted, so she bit Zhou Qingyan hard.
Zhou Qingyan was awakened again. Although she dodged in time, her veil was bitten by Du Xiaoqin, and because of the dodging action, the veil was completely pulled off.
"Ah!!" Zhou Qingyan stared at the white gauze in Du Xiaoqin's mouth with wide eyes, and covered her face in panic. However, no matter how she covered it, as long as an inch of skin was exposed, the black spots growing on the skin would be exposed to the air and would have nowhere to hide.
Due to excessive shock, the gauze Du Xiaoqin was holding fell to the ground.
Although it was just a quick glance, she still showed people Zhou Qingyan's full appearance - God, that was not the beautiful appearance that people imagined, but a face that was more terrifying than the toad in the gutter and the poisonous snake covered with stripes!
At this moment, she suddenly understood the full meaning of what Zhou Qingyan had just said, including the doubts that had been lingering in her mind, which were all resolved.
Screams echoed throughout the cell. Du Xiaoqin couldn't help but want to raise her hands to twist her hair, but she couldn't because of the chains and could only clench her fists in vain.
"So this is why you are targeting me." When she said this, she felt a sense of terror in her heart.
For so many years, no one in Qingzhou City has ever known Zhou Qingyan's true appearance. What does this mean?
This shows that Zhou Qingyan's appearance is a top secret, and even if outsiders accidentally discover it, they will be executed in time.
If she still had a glimmer of hope before seeing his true face, then at this moment—
Apart from escaping, the only possibility for her was to be silenced.
"You bitch!" Zhou Qingyan pounced on her and slapped her several times. Her crazy look made Du Xiaoqin frightened.
She gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Zhou Chenghe walked in and pulled Zhou Qingyan away.
Zhou Qingyan slapped him in the face: "Let me go, I want to kill this little bitch!"
The long nails scratched Zhou Chenghe's face, leaving several blood marks.
Zhou Chenghe didn't care about the blood seeping out, but said helplessly: "Little ancestor, you still need her face, what are you going to do now that it's broken?"
After hearing about the face, Zhou Qingyan finally managed to calm down. She quickly snatched the veil from the ground and put it on herself. Only when she was facing the face could she speak to Du Xiaoqin as arrogantly as before, without letting jealousy and inferiority burn her reason.
Du Xiaoqin's face was also covered in blood. She suddenly realized something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean by using my face? What do you want to do?"
Zhou Qingyan felt annoyed when she saw her and walked out without looking back.
"Take good care of Miss Du's face!" Zhou Chenghe said in a deep voice. He glared at Du Xiaoqin, "How dare you offend my junior sister? You really don't know what's good for you."
After he finished speaking, he chased Zhou Qingyan out: "Junior sister, time is running out, and Prefect Shen can't hide it for too long. If you want to torture her, it's not too late to do it after the face-changing is completed..."
"Hmph, didn't Daddy send me some excellent medicine for my wounds? Hurry up and apply it on her." Zhou Qingyan walked quickly, looking furious. "I'm going to make this bitch live a life worse than death!"
"By the way, are the wedding clothes ready? If I marry Lu Lang, everything must be prepared to perfection..."
At the Lu family, Mu Qing slowly withdrew his hand, his face full of fatigue: "Your poison is not trivial, and now most of it has been removed."
Lu Yunjue opened his eyes and exhaled: "There is no time to lose. I will go check on the Zhou family again."
"But after your last sneaking into the Zhou family, they will definitely be more vigilant. I'm afraid you'll be in danger this time." Hu Xiner woke up from her nap and heard Lu Yunjue's words, and said subconsciously.
Lu Yunjue's face was as handsome as jade, and his eyes showed no hesitation. "I know, but Miss Du was abducted by me. I must protect her!"
Hu Xiner opened her mouth, but couldn't say the words to stop him.
