Chapter 387: Both delicious and want to watch
Tongniang, who had received the summons, arrived quickly. After bowing and greeting, she asked in confusion, "I wonder what your Majesty wants to summon you for?"
Xiao Jingfan gestured to Zhou Yuande: "Show her."
"Yes." Zhou Yuande stepped forward with a dagger, and just like before, he cut Zheng Qianqian's arm cleanly and neatly.
Blood splattered, and granulation tissue grew from the smooth incision, wriggling to repair the wound.
In less than a moment, the arm was back to normal, with only a few bloodstains left on the skin.
Tong Niang's eyes widened and she cried out, "He is also one of them."
"So?" Xiao Jingfan frowned slightly, "Who else is like this?"
As he asked the question, he already had the answer in his mind.
As expected, Tong Niang said, "Hongying."
With mixed feelings, she glanced at Zheng Qianqian, who was filled with resentment, and said to Xiao Jingfan, "Your Majesty, please move aside. You will understand after taking a look."
The group walked to the tent where Hongying was imprisoned.
When entering the military camp, Jiang Yao specifically asked Xiao Jingfan to keep Hongying in solitary confinement, and Xiao Jingfan agreed.
"The situation inside might be a little scary." Tong Niang put her hand on the door curtain and turned around to remind the three people.
Even Tongniang found the scene scary, so Chu Liuzheng decisively took a small step back.
Xiao Jingfan glanced at her and followed Tong Niang into the tent.
After that came Zhou Yuande, and finally Chu Liuzheng.
As soon as he stepped into the tent, a sweet and fishy smell so strong that it was almost suffocating instantly filled his nostrils. Chu Liuzheng frowned uncomfortably and was about to take a look at the situation inside the tent when his vision suddenly went dark.
His palms were warm, with a very faint scent of sandalwood, and he covered her eyes tightly.
Chu Liuzheng: ???
"His Majesty?"
【Why are you covering my eyes for no reason? 】
"Yeah." Xiao Jingfan responded, without loosening his hand that was covering her eyes, his expression looking very ugly.
A bloody humanoid figure was imprisoned in a cage not far away. Its exposed face, neck, arms, and legs were covered with wounds, as if they had been torn countless times.
The granulation tissue squirmed, causing the wound to heal, but it spontaneously collapsed the next moment, then healed again, and collapsed again... It was as if countless pairs of blood-red eyes had grown on the body, opening and closing repeatedly.
It is also like a flower that has lost its rhythm, blooming and rotting at the same time. The scene is weird and terrifying, very scary.
Even though Eunuch Zhou had seen many prisoners tortured beyond recognition, the bloody scene before him still horrified him. His face turned pale, his pupils trembled, and he uttered a trembling word: "Strange monster."
What kind of monster is this?
Chu Liuzheng was extremely curious. If anyone else covered her eyes, she would raise her hands to grab them. But not the emperor, as that would be considered as rebellion.
Her long eyelashes brushed against her palm as she blinked, causing a tingling sensation. Xiao Jingfan held her palm tighter and asked Tong Niang, "What did Abbey Master Jiang do to her?"
"It wasn't the young lady's doing." Tongniang shook her head. Even though she had seen Hongying's appearance, she still found it difficult to adapt.
She said, "What the young lady did was simply let the Shadow Moon Gu devour the insects she raised, leaving only the one that was vital to her life. Everything was fine at first, but an hour later, she suddenly became like this."
Xiao Jingfan frowned: "Why is this happening?"
Tong Niang then shook her head: "Miss, I don't know either. I can only guess that perhaps some balance has been broken."
The person in the cage let out intermittent, faint groans.
Xiao Jingfan turned his head and took a look, his brows furrowed. "Is she still conscious?"
"No," Tongniang said, "The young lady once wanted to ask her why she became like this, but she couldn't even speak a complete sentence. Now she is just a breathing living thing."
What does it look like?
Chu Liuzheng was depressed because she couldn't eat the melon, but the hand in front of her showed no sign of loosening up, so she had to rely on herself to flip through the system and plan to read the text version.
She turned it over without much effort.
It is a very detailed and vivid version.
[Oh my, is this a real-life horror story? What does it mean when skin splits, heals, and then splits again? Is this a sign of mutation or evolution?]
Chu Liuzheng got goosebumps all over his body. He was scared but also wanted to take a look very much.
There are other people around, so it should be okay for her to just take a look, right?
"Your Majesty, can you please release this servant?"
Xiao Jingfan hesitated. He felt that if he let go of his hand, his ears would be deafened by someone's scream.
Tong Niang said, "It's really a bit scary. It's better not to look at it, young lady."
The more she said this, the more Chu Liuzheng wanted to see it.
She raised her hand and tentatively touched the big hand on her eyes.
Xiao Jingfan subconsciously relaxed.
Just at this moment, Chu Liuzheng seemed to have received permission and really pulled down the hand that was blocking his eyes.
Blinking to adjust to the light.
The scene in the cage came into view... bottom...
【ah! ! ! 】
Chu Liuzheng sucked in a breath of cold air, subconsciously covering Xiao Jingfan's hand, and continued to make high-decibel explosions in his heart.
Aa ...
She is the one who is both delicious and worth watching.
Xiao Jingfan felt a buzzing in his ears and could hear nothing except "Ahhhh".
He took a deep breath, grabbed the man who was so scared that he was frozen like a log, and quickly led him out of the tent.
Tongniang and Zhou Yuande looked at each other and followed.
The thick door curtain blocked out the sweet and fishy smell.
Chu Liuzheng was screaming in her heart when she suddenly remembered that she could cover her eyes herself.
But before she could act, the big hand in front of her had already loosened.
Xiao Jingfan lowered his eyes and glared at her. Although his expression was normal, his face was a little pale.
Chu Liuzheng blinked.
[So tyrants are afraid too. But why are you glaring at me? I'm not scary!]
Super innocent.
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
I was disturbed by you!
Just as the two were staring at each other, Zhou Yuande cleared his throat to remind his Majesty that he still had some important business to do.
Chu Liuzheng was the first to look away. Thinking of Hongying's miserable state, he couldn't help but ask Tongniang, "Master Jiang has already developed the Shadow Moon Gu, and Hongying has already lost her mind. There's no point in keeping her here. Why not give her a quick death?"
[We can keep it in a cage now, but what if it mutates into an indestructible monster? We must nip the danger in the bud!]
Tongniang said, "The young lady has a kind heart, but she cannot be killed now. She still has some use for you."
"What's the use?"
"The young lady discovered that the insect eggs in the bodies of the people in Longkou Town might have been fed by her blood, which is why they can never be completely eliminated. The young lady wants to try to see if she can find a way to eradicate them from Hongying."
"I see." Chu Liuzheng nodded and stopped talking about giving Hongying a quick death.
Let's just think of it as Hongying's atonement for the serious sin of murder she committed.
Xiao Jingfan turned around and instructed Zhou Yuande, "Go see Doctor Feng. If he has finished treating Siyue, ask him to come over."
"Yes." Zhou Yuande accepted the order and left.
