Chapter 12: Master, You Must Not Escape—A Blood Feud
"ah......"
The moment the knife stabbed, Gu Shanshan couldn't dodge in time. She only had time to grab Xiao Ling's hand and push her away forcefully.
The knife, which was supposed to hit his heart, was deflected and landed next to his heart.
He narrowly escaped death.
Blood splattered on her face. Gu Shanshan was afraid that Xiao Ling would realize what was happening and stab her a few more times.
Before Xiao Ling could react, he used all his strength to kick her hard.
"ah!"
Xiao Ling's face changed, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
He loosened his grip, the knife slipped from his hand, and he staggered back several steps in pain before falling to the ground.
Gu Shanshan was terrified of being forcibly taken, so she kicked with great force, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Xiao Ling collapsed to the ground in convulsions from the pain, unable to stand up.
She looked up, her eyes bloodshot, glaring at Gu Shanshan, and cursed through gritted teeth, "Gu Shanshan, you bitch!"
Gu Shanshan spat, wondering what kind of drug Xiao Ling, that lunatic, had put on him, because it hurt so much.
She retorted fiercely, "You have the nerve to call me a slut? You're the slut! You locked me up here for no reason, and then you gave me some kind of disgusting drug."
After cursing, he kicked Xiao Ling viciously.
Even if he were foolish now, he wouldn't think that Xiao Ling was an innocent white lotus flower anymore; in his opinion, she was more like a black-hearted lotus flower.
Gu Shanshan dared not stay here for long, fearing that Xiao Ling would harm him again after he recovered.
So, while Xiaoling was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up, he pulled the knife out of his own chest.
"hiss......"
The knife was pulled out of the flesh, and the pain made Gu Shanshan break out in a cold sweat again.
With one hand covering her bleeding wound and the other gripping the knife handle tightly, Gu Shanshan's gaze fell on Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling's eyes turned cold as she angrily retorted, "Gu Shanshan, do you want to kill me? Do you want to hurt me again?!"
That angry questioning made it seem as if Gu Shanshan was the one who stabbed someone.
Gu Shanshan was speechless. She looked at the knife in her hand and then at Xiao Ling's angry eyes.
He gave a sarcastic laugh. "Don't think of me as someone like you, you're crazy."
Although Gu Shanshan desperately wanted revenge for the knife wound, he was, after all, a good young man who lived in socialism and had received a modern education, and he couldn't bring himself to commit such a violent act with a knife.
Therefore, no matter how much they hate it, they can only swallow their anger and bear it.
He couldn't bring himself to kill.
He turned away angrily, ignoring Xiao Ling, grabbed the oil lamp, opened the door to the stone chamber, and tried to walk out.
When she came in, Xiao Ling was very confident, thinking that Gu Shanshan would be in so much pain that she couldn't even walk after being poisoned, so she didn't lock the mechanism in the stone chamber when she entered.
Now, Gu Shanshan can leave so easily.
Xiao Ling's pain hadn't subsided yet. He wanted to stop Gu Shanshan from leaving, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing Gu Shanshan about to leave, he could only say fiercely, "Gu Shanshan, don't even dream about it. Without me leading the way, you'll die the moment you step outside!"
The outside is full of traps he has set up; if you step on the wrong spot, you will be pierced by a thousand arrows.
"Gu Shanshan, I'm warning you, if you want to live, you'd better stay here. There are traps everywhere outside, and in front of the traps is a cliff. Your fate if you go out is either to be shot to death by a poisoned arrow or to fall off the cliff and die."
He refused to believe that Gu Shanshan wouldn't risk her life.
However, Xiao Ling was wrong.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shanshan continued walking outside without stopping.
She left behind the words, "I, Gu Shanshan, would rather die than stay with a lunatic like you."
Damn it, none of them are normal. What bad luck he must have had to run into such a bunch of mentally unstable bastards.
Of course, Gu Shanshan was so confident because the system gave him a cheat code that told him he wouldn't die except for having his heart ripped out or his head chopped off.
Therefore, he felt emboldened.
Xiao Ling was shocked to find that Gu Shanshan hated him so much. After the initial shock, he stared angrily and resentfully at Gu Shanshan's back as she disappeared from his sight.
He wanted to chase after her, to snatch her back, and to break Gu Shanshan's legs so she could never run away again.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't even stand up, let alone chase after them.
As soon as she stepped out of the stone chamber, Gu Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief, not seeing anyone chasing after her.
The further he went, the less pain he felt. Gu Shanshan asked the system, puzzled.
[007, what's going on? Why doesn't my body hurt anymore?]
[Host, you've forgotten, you're someone with a cheat-like ability! All poisons that enter your body will be slowly metabolized over time, so you won't die no matter what. You just need to protect your heart and brain from disintegrating.]
007, feeling a rare moment of pride at having done something for the host, spoke with an air of seeking praise.
When Gu Shanshan heard this, she felt that 007 was setting some kind of flag.
[007, the more you tell me to protect my heart and head, the more I feel a chill in my neck and chest, a kind of uneasy feeling.]
Upon hearing Gu Shanshan's words and thinking about the upcoming mission, 007 deflated like a punctured balloon, his voice weakening.
【Host, please stop overthinking. Get out of here quickly, or you'll be caught and taken back.】
007 was clearly changing the subject. In the past, he would have realized that the system was just fooling him.
But now he was genuinely worried that the lunatic behind him would catch up, so he nodded without thinking.
Yes, you're right. I need to leave here first, and think about these things when I'm in a safe place.
Upon hearing this, 007 breathed a sigh of relief.
Phew... thankfully, it wasn't exposed, otherwise the host would definitely have killed it.
Gu Shanshan walked quickly for a long time before emerging from the damp, winding underground cave.
Once outside, just as Xiao Ling hadn't lied to her, there was a cliff right in front of her.
The place where he was standing looked like a cave in the middle of a cliff, with only a rope hanging down from above, which looked like a small rope.
Looking at the cliff in front of her and listening to the whistling wind around her, Gu Shanshan walked over without thinking and climbed up the rope ladder to leave this place.
Just as he touched the rope ladder, he heard the sound of something flying towards him from behind.
Gu Shanshan frowned and immediately turned to look.
His dark pupils widened in disbelief as he stared at the volley of arrows hurtling towards him.
Gu Shanshan instantly recalled Xiao Ling's words. He thought it was just a bluff, but he never expected it to be true.
So many sharp arrows were aimed at him, enough to turn him into a sieve.
Although he wasn't afraid of dying, he was afraid of pain!
In the instant that the dense array of arrows was about to pierce her body, Gu Shanshan had no time to think. Without a second thought, she let go of the rope ladder and instinctively staggered backward.
"ah......"
With a cliff behind her, Gu Shanshan fell to the ground, only managing to let out a series of sharp, piercing screams that echoed throughout the entire cliff.
Her slender, frail body, like a magnolia blossom falling from a branch, drifted down in the wind...
......
Green Mountain Sect.
The once lofty and prestigious cultivation sects are now filled with a heavy aura of death.
The air was filled with a strong stench of rotting flesh, enough to make one want to vomit.
Gong Ye pushed the man, whose legs had been broken and whose meridians had been severed, into the Green Mountain Sect in a wheelchair, seemingly oblivious to the pungent smell in the air and the severed limbs on the ground.
Without looking to the side, he pushed the wheelchair into Gu Shanshan's private attic.
The person in the wheelchair didn't have such good composure. He was just a substitute, without any cultivation, and couldn't hold his breath and eliminate all the disgusting smells like Gong Ye.
"vomit......"
The substitute, sitting in a wheelchair, vomited all over the floor.
However, all his meridians are broken, so he's now useless.
In Gong Ye's eyes, the real substitute is Gu Shanshan.
Gong Ye now hates Gu Shanshan to death. Seeing him vomit only makes him frown in disgust, but also gives him a slight sense of satisfaction in getting revenge.
How could I possibly feel sorry for him and help him?
He finally witnessed his master's dog-like behavior, but that wasn't enough. He wanted Gu Shanshan to experience all the humiliation he had suffered in his previous life.
Thinking about it, Gong Ye's eyes grew even colder.
They swiftly dragged Gu Shanshan into Qingxin Pavilion like a dog.
Gong Ye didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since Gu Shanshan left and then came back, he no longer felt the same excitement and possessiveness he had felt when he looked at Gu Shanshan's face.
There was only mad hatred.
He wanted to destroy everything, to take back all the pain that Gu Shanshan had inflicted on him in his previous life and then return it to Gu Shanshan.
"Master, do you still remember this place?"
Gong Ye threw Gu Shanshan into the steaming hot spring, which was drawn down from the mountain and was always steaming hot.
In her previous life, Gu Shanshan seduced him in this very pool, then turned him into a treacherous disciple who betrayed his master and destroyed all his cultivation.
They tied him to a pillar and whipped him for a full forty-nine days with a whip dipped in chili water.
Finally, they dragged him like a dog to the pear tree and pierced his heart with the Mo Gui sword.
That wasn't enough. Gu Shanshan also viciously used eighty-one poisoned nails to nail him to the pear tree, killing him instantly.
In his past life, he was in pain until his death.
The reason he brought Gu Shanshan here this time was to recreate the events that happened to him in his previous life in Gu Shanshan's life.
Between them lies a deep-seated blood feud.
Thinking it over, Gong Ye tore off his clothes and stepped into the hot spring pool.
He dragged Gu Shanshan out of the water and leaned down to kiss her fiercely...
