"Brother Changling~, you can't go back on your promise to Xi'er!"
The playful ending tone made Yin Changling's heart tremble. He knew that Tu Shan Lingxi had other purposes, but he just couldn't help but fall for her.
The sound of his heart pounding like a drum made Yin Changling want to agree without hesitation, but he didn't say anything.
The atmosphere subtly shifted...
Tu Shan Lingxi's eyes were alluring, and the sense of urgency in her heart grew stronger, prompting her to do something irrational.
She clung to the man's shoulders with both hands, staring intently at him with her large eyes, trying to discern something from Yin Changling's face.
Why is there no response?
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Tu Shan Lingxi thought that Yin Changling was going to break his promise. How could that be?
She suddenly became anxious, and since she was already clinging to Yin Changling's shoulder, she put even more force into it in her haste.
The force of the pinch caused Yin Changling's left shoulder to ache, and the pain brought him back to his senses.
He snapped back to his senses, calmed his surging emotions, and looked at the beauty before him with deep, unfathomable eyes.
"Does Xi'er want to witness this firsthand? Aren't you afraid of the bloodshed?"
He didn't know how Yin Yi had upset Tu Shan Lingxi, since Yin Yi's absent-minded look just now didn't seem like someone who had seen Lingxi before.
A hint of inquiry flashed in Yin Changling's eyes, but unfortunately, a single glance was not enough to discern the connection between them.
When Tu Shan Lingxi heard Yin Changling ask this question, she didn't feel scared. Instead, she felt even more excited, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes!
"I'm not afraid, I'm really looking forward to it!"
Hearing Tu Shan Lingxi's answer and seeing the undisguised interest in her eyes, Yin Changling was taken aback, but finally agreed and said...
"Very well, I'll grant your wish. Guards, throw Yin Yi into the dungeon."
"His Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Yin Yi suddenly looked up at Yin Changling, his eyes filled with shock!
Yin Yi didn't understand why this woman was so eager for him to suffer, even though it was their first time meeting!
He originally thought that a tyrant like Yin Changling would not be easily swayed by a woman, but to his surprise, Yin Changling was persuaded by a mere woman.
"Your Majesty, spare my life! I will confess everything. Please spare my life!"
After realizing what had happened, Yin Yi hurriedly begged for mercy. He knew all about the tortures in the dungeon; once you went in, you wouldn't get out without being skinned alive.
The dungeon existed since the founding of the kingdom, but the former king was weak, and the dungeon became almost useless.
But when the dungeon fell into the hands of a tyrant, it became a place that struck fear into people's hearts. Although Yin Yi had never been inside, he had never heard of anyone ever coming out alive.
Yin Yi kowtowed desperately, determined not to go in. He regretted it, he really regretted it.
He shouldn't have aspired to be the king; he should have just stayed a lowly prince in one of the vassal states!
"Your Majesty, I confess everything. None of this is my fault. My father forced me into this situation. Please spare my life!"
Unfortunately, Yin Changling ignored Yin Yi's tearful pleas and his so-called "regret."
Yin Changling was just like a tyrannical ruler bewitched by a demoness. When Yin Yi begged for mercy, he didn't even raise his head, but stared intently at the woman beside him.
In the end, he felt that Yin Yi was too noisy and regretted it. If he had really been forced to do so, he wouldn't have needed to bring up those pieces of evidence.
With a wave of his sleeve, Yin Changling immediately had someone appear, carry Yin Yi, who was still crying incessantly, out of the room, and thoughtfully gag him.
"What are you all standing there for? Take him away!"
After saying that, he acted like a child asking for candy, boasting, "How was my work?"
Tu Shan Lingxi gave him a perfunctory compliment, and then couldn't wait to pull Yin Changling along to chase after him.
"Wait, Xi'er, what are you doing?"
"Of course we'll go to jail and deal with Yin Yi!"
Tu Shan Lingxi didn't even turn her head, taking quick small steps. She wanted to see Yin Yi bleed with her own eyes before she could quell the anger in her heart.
Yin Changling had no choice but to be dragged along by the little girl. Oh well, let's go. We can't just not go.
But he still looked down at the hand that the woman was holding, and a sweet feeling inexplicably welled up in his heart. The corners of his mouth also turned up, and he looked much gentler.
...
In the dungeon.
Yin Changling looked at Tu Shan Lingxi and saw that she seemed like a different person. She seemed to be bewitched by something and walked straight towards Yin Yi.
At this moment, Yin Yi was already on the rack, and Tu Shan Lingxi picked up the blood-stained whip and lashed him again and again.
She seemed to be under some kind of control, releasing all her resentment and making others afraid to approach her.
Yin Changling sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was. He stood there with a sullen face and his hands behind his back.
Yin Yi was beaten until he screamed, his facial features were contorted, and he could only scream and couldn't say anything.
"Ahhh—you—ah—"
Tu Shan Lingxi's whip struck fast, accurately, steadily, and ruthlessly. She was bloodthirsty and wanted nothing more than to skin her opponent alive.
"Yin Yi, you don't remember me, do you? But you owe me a life."
You beast, you don't deserve to live today! I'll take it away for you!
Tu Shan Lingxi beat Yin Yi so badly that his clothes were stained with blood, and his skin was torn and bleeding, causing many people to turn away.
Her eyes blazed with fury. After saying these words, she threw down the whip, twisted her hands into tiger claws, and was about to grab Yin Yi fiercely.
"Help! Your Majesty—"
Yin Yi saw the undisguised murderous intent in the woman's eyes. He was terrified and desperately begged Yin Changlin for help.
However, before he could finish his plea for help, Tu Shan Lingxi choked him, preventing him from speaking any further.
Yin Yi struggled, but unfortunately, he was no match for Tu Shan Lingxi's strength. He became increasingly breathless, his face swelling from the effort...
"Help...me."
In the end, he breathed his last, and there was no more sound.
Tu Shan Lingxi looked at the lifeless Yin Yi, crying and laughing at the same time, like a madwoman. Her eyes showed the joy of revenge, but also a trace of sadness.
"Who are you?"
Tu Shan Lingxi turned around and saw Yin Changling looking at her with the same wary eyes one would give a stranger. She didn't say anything more.
"I ask you, who are you?"
With just one look, Yin Changling could almost be certain that this person was definitely not his Xi'er!
He repeated it again, but fearing that this wandering ghost might harm Xi'er's body, he dared not provoke her.
Tu Shan Lingxi also looked at Yin Changling with a wary gaze, and the two stared at each other silently.
Finally, Tu Shan Lingxi seemed to have a headache, slowly closed her eyes, and collapsed to the ground.
