“Mmmmm…”
Shen Sui tried very hard to make a sound.
Nan Zhi, looking down from above, said coldly, "Let her speak."
So someone tried to take the spiritual fruit from Chen Sui's mouth, but after taking it out, they found that only half was left.
Shen Sui licked his lips: "What kind of spiritual fruit is this? Push it to me, it's quite delicious."
Nan Zhi sneered and squatted down, looking at Chen Sui at eye level. Her voice was filled with murderous intent: "I know who you are. Just like you can sense my presence, I have practiced for a long time, so I can naturally sense your presence as well."
Shen Sui nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved."
Nan Zhi's face was a little distorted by Chen Sui's answer, but she quickly thought of something and looked Chen Sui up and down with a suspicious look in her eyes: "You..."
"Me?" Shen Sui tilted his head.
"You're not planning anything bad, are you?" Nan Zhi leaned closer to Chen Sui, her eyes cold and alert.
Shen Sui: “…”
"Can you please not be so sinister? My hands and feet are tied by you now. No matter how bad your plan is, you must have personal freedom." Chen Sui took a deep breath, but still said the words that he could no longer bear it.
After listening to this, Nan Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, "That makes sense."
Her reaction made Shen Sui roll his eyes.
At this time, the two people behind Nan Zhi started arguing again. Judging from the sound, they should be the two people who quarreled in front. Chen Sui looked at them. Each of them was arguing more red-faced and thick-necked than the other, and it was particularly intense.
Perhaps because Chen Sui's gaze was too bright, Nan Zhi followed his gaze and said in a deep voice, "If you two start arguing over the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, get out of here!"
Shen Sui burst out laughing.
The others were also laughing, and the two people who were arguing lowered their heads and had red faces, not daring to say a word.
Nan Zhi turned back and looked at Chen Sui, then said coldly, "You are now in my hands, and a few days ago in the outer field, you did not kill the people from the Demon Realm, so I owe you a favor, and now I will repay you."
"Why?" Shen Sui asked excitedly.
Nan Zhi sneered, "I'll let you choose how you want to die."
Shen Sui: “…”
This is how you repay a favor.
Chen Sui sighed silently: "Okay, in that case, let me think about it. Oh, right, I have always wanted a painless and clean way to die without blood."
Shen Sui's eyes were filled with sincerity and gratitude: "If you can do that, it would be great."
Nan Zhi untied her veil. Chen Sui looked at her and saw the corners of her lips curl up slightly. Then she said coldly, "No."
Shen Sui: “!”
"Then you still say you want to repay my favor?!" Chen Sui was very angry. This was simply a deception of her feelings.
Chen Sui was in a bad mood, but Nan Zhi was in a very good mood. She even smiled more brightly: "I went back on my word, but I'm not a good person anyway."
Shen Sui: “…”
I give in. What you said makes a lot of sense.
One of the two people who were arguing in front came forward and handed Nan Zhi the box that he had been holding but was now open.
Nan Zhi glanced at it, then pulled out a small black box. She lazily raised her eyelids and said, "Come, hold her down. Don't let her move. I want to see her on the verge of death."
Chen Sui expressionlessly let several people come over and firmly hold down her bound hands and feet. Then Nan Zhi opened the small black box and took out a pitch-black pill that looked like an elixir.
She came over, pinched Shen Sui's chin, and stuffed the dark pill into Shen Sui's mouth.
The pill melted in her mouth, but Shen Sui frowned, because the taste of the pill was so indescribable that it even made her feel nauseous and want to vomit.
But soon, she felt the effects of the pill taking effect in her body.
First, she felt a burning sensation in her throat, and then in every corner of her body. The burning sensation was not obvious at first, but became hotter and hotter as time went on.
Shen Sui finally understood why Nan Zhi asked someone to hold her down. Normally, people couldn't stand the sight of flames near their bodies, but now the scorching flames were burning fiercely in Shen Sui's body, as if they were going to engulf him.
But Shen Sui didn't make a sound.
Even though Shen Sui's eyes were lifeless and his lips were bitten and bleeding, he still didn't make a sound.
Until the burning sensation gradually subsided, it was replaced by an even more unbearable gnawing sensation, as if millions of worms in the body were tearing at Shen Sui's flesh and bones.
Two hours had passed since he swallowed the poison, and Shen Sui still hadn't made a sound.
This made Nan Zhi sigh. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically. She glanced at Chen Sui, who closed his eyes and began to play dead, with a sarcastic smile in her eyes.
"Don't worry. Although I won't be able to witness your actual death, you won't have a chance to live again. After all, this poison is extremely difficult to make, and there's no antidote."
After that, she left with her people.
When the dark alley returned to calm, Shen Sui, who was left behind, gently opened her eyes. She could feel her body being cut into pieces by a burning sharp blade again.
Nan Zhi didn't lie.
Although the pain in her body was unbearable, Shen Sui knew that what she was about to do was far from over.
At this moment, a gray figure appeared at the entrance of the dark alley and whispered, "Shen Xinglan has already rushed back to the inn from the Yanshen Hall."
Hearing the words "Shen Xinglan", Shen Sui shuddered even though her whole body was in pain, but she knew that the appearance of the old man in gray should be the reason why Nan Zhi left.
She opened her mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Then give me a quick death first, Master..."
It hurts so much... I really hurt... I don't know what kind of poison it is, what's next... hiss... what's next... please...
"Grandpa Taoist priest."
In the darkening sky, a thunder roared across the sky, followed by raindrops as big as beans falling down with a crackling sound.
Chang Heng walked to the side of Shen Sui and held up a black umbrella for Shen Sui.
Chen Sui struggled to open her eyes and looked at him, with a hint of attachment in her eyes, as if she had caught a glimpse of Chang Heng's true face hidden by a false mask.
Chang Heng did not show any surprise that Shen Sui could recognize him, because he knew Shen Sui's intelligence. Perhaps he had recognized him after just a few brief conversations with him.
But Shen Sui didn't ask, and he didn't say anything.
He slowly squatted down, then stretched out his hand and gently covered Shen Sui's eyes. This was the same action he used when he held the young Shen Sui in his arms and coaxed her to sleep.
His voice was very gentle. He said, "Leave the rest to your Taoist Grandpa."
