“After that, I hid in the Abyss Realm until a rift appeared between the Abyss Realm and your world, and then I escaped here.”
Mu Qing spoke calmly, as if she were simply telling a story that had nothing to do with her.
"So, you're the little girl from the story? The Abyss Spirit Clan is looking for you to take you back to fix the bloodline defect of that innate spirit body?" Qiao Suinian asked.
"Yes, Mu Fengxiu is my uncle's son, Mu Fengxiu's younger brother, and he is a Spirit Clan member with an innate spiritual body!" A deep hatred flashed in Mu Qing's eyes.
"These past years... it must have been tough being alone, right? You must have suffered a lot, haven't you?"
Qiao Suinian gently embraced Mu Qing in his arms. This time, he didn't make any advances, but simply held Mu Qing quietly.
Qiao Suinian's embrace gave Mu Qing a long-lost warmth, and her nose tingled, almost causing her to cry.
For a child of just a few years old to grow up in the Abyss Realm, a place where the strong prey on the weak, and to evade the pursuit of the entire Spirit Race, the hardships he would have to endure are unimaginable to anyone.
From childhood to adulthood, she could only hide in the dirtiest, darkest corners where no living creatures could be seen, like a rat in the sewers, just to barely survive.
No one ever felt sorry for her. The people she met after she grew up were either crazy about her figure and beauty and worshipped her as a goddess, or they wanted to possess her and make her their plaything. No one ever treated her as a human being.
Mu Qing couldn't help but feel a little lost in this long-lost atmosphere, and realizing this, she immediately pushed Qiao Suinian away.
"I'll help you arrange to meet Lu Xiangrui."
"good."
Qiao Suinian nodded and didn't press the matter further.
He had always been alone since childhood. Looking up at the lights of countless homes, yet not finding a single one that represented him, no one understood that feeling better than him.
On the other side, Lu Xiangrui, who was recuperating inside the Taiji Sect, was scolding a maid.
"What's wrong with you? You can't even change a dressing properly, what good are you?"
The pain from the tugging at his wound made Lu Xiangrui grimace.
"I'm so... I'm so sorry, young master, I'm really sorry, I've already been very gentle!" The maid was so anxious that she was almost crying.
"Sorry to me? Fine, then I'll have to apologize to you too!" Lu Xiangrui sneered. "Someone, take all the tissues out of my toilet!"
The maid's face turned pale instantly; she seemed to have already guessed her fate.
"Starting today, you'll kneel in the toilet and serve as my toilet paper. The day I'm satisfied, I'll find you a good family to marry into. If I'm never satisfied, you can prepare to spend the rest of your life next to the toilet!"
Lu Xiangrui pinched the maid's chin and said coldly.
These maids were no different from pet dogs to him; he could just play with them until they died and then buy new ones. Who was he? The only son of Lu Hai, the elder of the Taiji Sect! There were plenty of women in Jinling City who wanted to serve him; he didn't need another one.
"Yes... young master." The maid's delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and she bit her lower lip tightly to keep herself from crying.
"Go! Take me to the dungeon, I'll vent my anger there. Damn it! They dared to touch me, they're really asking for trouble! They're tired of living!"
The pain from his wounds reignited Lu Xiangrui's hatred.
After Qin Fufeng and his group were captured, their fate was far from good. While Lu Xiangrui dared not touch Qin Fufeng, Qin Fufeng's men were tortured beyond recognition by Lu Xiangrui.
Chen Gu and the other men were alright; they basically only suffered some physical pain, such as having their tendons pulled out, and having all their fingernails and teeth removed.
Cha Xuanzi, that little girl, is in a terrible situation. These past few days, she has become the outlet for all of Lu Xiangrui's men's anger, and Lu Xiangrui hasn't given her any water or food at all. Cha Xuanzi can only take the initiative to supplement her diet with low-quality protein to maintain her vital signs.
After a few days, she was almost completely exhausted, her body covered in bruises and marks. Anyone who saw Cha Xuanzi now would probably write the word "miserable" on her face.
Lu Xiangrui did all of this in front of Qin Fufeng, and often looked at Qin Fufeng with a provocative expression, all for the sake of getting revenge.
If Qin Fufeng hadn't been of noble status, and if Lu Hai hadn't repeatedly instructed that he shouldn't be harmed, Lu Xiangrui wouldn't have even wanted to let Qin Fufeng go.
Upon seeing Lu Xiangrui arrive at the dungeon, Chen Gu and the others all showed expressions of terror, except for Qin Fufeng, whose face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
Lu Xiangrui's torture and humiliation of Chen Gu and the others was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Qin Fufeng. This feud was now completely settled!
Lu Xiangrui wouldn't dare kill him, but he would dare kill Lu Xiangrui. If Qin Fufeng caught him, Lu Xiangrui would be torn to pieces, which would be the least of his worries.
"Oh? Why are you glaring at me? So what if you have big eyes?" Seeing Qin Fufeng's murderous gaze, Lu Xiangrui felt a surge of satisfaction. This was the consequence of daring to hurt him, Lu Xiangrui!
"Let me see who I'll torment today."
Lu Xiangrui licked his lips, his face full of perverse excitement. He looked around and then focused his gaze on Bedaiku.
"It seems your injuries are the lightest, so you'll have to do it! Get me the scalpel!"
Bedeku's heart tightened instantly. His injuries were already severe. If he were to get injured again, he might not be able to maintain his true form as a ghoul, which would be a huge problem!
"Big brother! Why don't you torture me the same way you tortured that woman? I'm willing to offer up my tender sphincter muscles right now!"
Bedaiku pointed at Cha Xuanzi with a sincere look in his eyes. Anyway, he was transforming into Qiao Suinian, so it wasn't him who would lose face. The important thing right now was to maintain the transformed appearance.
