Xia Donglai whispered in Lu Ying's ear, "Is he usually this good at talking? He's even making my heart flutter."
"What a pity!" Lu Ying said coldly, "I'm not interested in the life you're talking about!"
Yu Ziqing's face paled even more.
Lu Ying sneered, "Besides, can you even see what we look like? We've never shown ourselves. We killed you and dumped your body in the wilderness. Once we take off these masks, no one will know what we did before!"
“Go ahead and shout. I’ve checked, and there’s no one living within a ten-mile radius. You can shout as much as you want without worrying about disturbing others.”
"Brother..."
Yu Ziqing was still trying to say something, but Lu Ying didn't give him the chance. He ripped off Yu Ziqing's belt and carried him to the nearest pillar. Since Yu Ziqing's clothes were no longer restrained by the belt, they had already fallen off, leaving him only wearing a snow-white undergarment.
Lu Ying had sharp eyes and noticed a small "Jiang" character on the hem of his clothes, which dimmed her eyes even more. She then applied more force to her hand, causing Yu Ziqing to groan softly.
Lu Ying tied Yu Ziqing to a pillar with his belt, stood in front of Yu Ziqing, and played with the thin twig in his hand. The thorns on the twig were shiny and glistening in the sunlight.
Yu Ziqing felt a chill run down her spine!
"I've thought it over!" Lu Ying said calmly. "What you say is indeed very appealing, and my brother and I have also longed for that kind of life. Therefore, I've decided to spare your life. As long as you can hold out against me, you can leave!"
Yu Ziqing's face lit up with joy.
Lu Ying looked at him, then turned her eyes away in disgust. Foolish man, he never said how long he would last.
A breath is enough to sustain you, an incense stick is enough to sustain you, but an hour is also enough to sustain you!
Lu Ying immediately turned the tree branch into a whip and lashed it at Yu Ziqing.
The barbs on the branch pierced through Yu Ziqing's thin undergarment and pricked her skin. Yu Ziqing had been studying all these years. Although her family was not well-off, she had Jiang San Niang supporting her outside and her own mother supporting her at home. So she had never suffered any hardship. Let alone being beaten like this, she had never even cut her hand with a kitchen knife.
So Yu Ziqing trembled all over, his lips trembling, wanting to shout but unable to, only able to let out a short "Ah..." like a broken gong, extremely unpleasant to hear.
Before he could even react, the second lash came, the pain sending shivers down his spine and making him shudder.
Fortunately, the pain stopped after the second lash, allowing him to catch his breath and feel a little better as the pain slowly disappeared.
He felt much better!
Lu Ying watched him intently, not missing a single reaction on Yu Ziqing's face. Seeing him breathe a sigh of relief, she immediately smiled. Yu Ziqing heard her ask, "Much better?"
Yu Ziqing thought he was going to let her go, so she nodded immediately. But who knew that the attack would come again right after she nodded.
Yu Ziqing immediately let out a wail, feeling that this blow was even more painful than the previous two!
At first, Yu Ziqing was still able to count and remained conscious, but later he couldn't hold on any longer. He became dizzy and his brain felt like it was about to split open. The man's technique wasn't exactly torture; he would hit him once, then let him rest for a while before continuing. But this intermittent technique was much more painful than being hit continuously.
Yu Ziqing couldn't remember how long he had been beaten. He only had one thought: to be free as soon as possible. This thought kept swirling in his mind. As he thought about it, Yu Ziqing's head slumped down.
"She's fainted?" Xia Donglai walked over upon seeing this, and his admiration for Lu Ying's skills grew even stronger. Over the years, under the tutelage of the Second Master, Lu Ying's methods of torturing people had become increasingly sophisticated.
At this moment, Yu Ziqing was covered in blood, his clothes were stained red and had a thin layer of bloodstains. Xia Donglai knew at a glance that Yu Ziqing was not in any danger because the amount of bleeding was not much, but judging from his condition, he must have been in a lot of pain.
If it were me, would I be able to hold my own against Lu Ying?
"It's better if he faints!" Lu Ying sneered, "So he won't be able to take it!"
As he spoke, Lu Ying swiftly drew the dagger he carried with him and stabbed it straight at Yu Ziqing. Xia Donglai only saw a flash of cold light, and upon closer inspection, he saw that the dagger in Lu Ying's hand had already pierced Yu Ziqing's clothes. He watched as Lu Ying flicked and twisted, making a small round hole in Yu Ziqing's clothes. Then, with a forceful movement, Lu Ying's dagger pierced Yu Ziqing's skin. The dagger spun around inside Yu Ziqing's skin, and with a flick, Xia Donglai saw something flying past his eyes, spraying blood and foam. Upon closer inspection, he saw that a piece of Yu Ziqing's chest was missing.
Blood gushed from Yu Ziqing's chest, instantly soaking a large area of his undergarment.
After wiping the dagger clean with Yu Ziqing's clothes and putting it away, Lu Ying took a handful of incense ash from the incense burner and applied it to Yu Ziqing's chest. Once the bleeding stopped, Lu Ying said calmly, "I'm leaving!"
"He'll die even if he's tied up here!" Xia Donglai kindly reminded Lu Ying, seeing her forgetting one thing after another. Even if Lu Ying wanted to spare Yu Ziqing's life, this place was remote and sparsely populated, and it was a dilapidated temple. Unless someone passing by on urgent business might see Yu Ziqing, he really wouldn't be discovered.
