Chapter 106 "Master"
This memory is about the truth behind the Shen family's extermination.
Perhaps in a previous life, they hadn't searched for the Happy Funeral Demon in vain, but she had forgotten. Or perhaps she had already taken revenge, but she had forgotten too.
Chen Qing desperately wanted to recover her lost memories, but the current situation told her that she couldn't be impatient.
The most urgent task is to get rid of the system first, and to survive these three months to eliminate the side effects of the Winged Twins Formation. Once all potential threats to her life are eliminated, she will have time to slowly regain her memories.
She closed her eyes and tried to calm her boiling heart.
In the face of Shen Qing's questioning, Shen Ling kept silent.
Chen Qing was used to it, because those people always had various ways to keep their subordinates' mouths shut. If she confessed at this moment, Chen Qing would think it was a deception.
She smiled faintly and said, "No rush. I have plenty of time to slowly heal you. Just imagine if I had someone use a blunt knife to cut the tendons in your hands and feet, but not completely, only half, and then sprinkled coarse salt on the wounds. That would surely feel quite good, right?"
"A blunt knife is not sharp, it can only grind on your flesh bit by bit, first grinding open your skin, then the flesh, and finally the meridians, one by one, one by one--" She bent her fingers on the fence, imitating the rhythm of the knife cutting.
"When you're in excruciating pain and about to lose consciousness, I'll open your wounds and sprinkle coarse salt on your flesh. The salt will then be warmed by your body temperature and dissolve in your blood. It's both stimulating and fun."
"But it's too fast to finish them all at once. Today, I'll pick your left hand first. Tomorrow, I'll pick your right hand, and then your ankle. Do you think you'll be able to walk by the end?"
Shen Ling only felt the cold wind in this dark dungeon biting her bones, as if thousands of ice needles were flowing out from her bones, almost coagulating her flesh and blood.
Just from Shen Qing's description, she could feel the dull pain in the meridians of her limbs.
In her previous life, apart from the pain of a sword piercing her chest before her death, she had always lived a life of luxury and had never suffered any hardship. How could she bear this pain!
Shen Ling said in horror: "You are a lunatic! I will die if I do that!"
Chen Qing swore solemnly: "Don't worry, you will not die." Maybe you will recover better than her.
"No! No way! Chen Qing, I'm your sister! You can't do this to me, you will be condemned!" She began to speak without thinking.
Chen Qing said, "According to what you said, what you did to your parents is enough for you to be struck by lightning several times."
"Next time I come, I'll definitely bring a fine blunt knife and slowly torture you. I don't believe your mouth is harder than black iron." Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes wide, and she snorted coldly, like a willful and capricious young lady. But what she did was something that defied nature and reason in the context of the situation.
After threatening her, Shen Qing lifted the hem of her skirt and turned away.
When Shen Ling heard this, a strange and suppressed whimper came out of her throat uncontrollably, like the low growl of a wounded beast.
In the next three months, Shen Ling will probably be worried for a while.
.
When he walked to the corridor, Chen Qing realized that it was raining.
The courtyard is desolate, with moss covering the stone steps and corners of the walls, and the overgrown green plants in the yard indicating that the place is deserted.
A series of uninterrupted silver lines suddenly fell from the sky, continuously hitting the bluestone bricks, and tiny water droplets splashed all over the ground. Although the rain was small, it was daunting.
She was in such a hurry to go out that she forgot to bring an umbrella. She had just rented the mansion and had not yet bought many things. Even if she turned the entire house upside down, she probably wouldn't be able to find an umbrella.
Chen Qing sighed. The love poison started to take effect today. While it was still early, she had to go back and meet him.
Thinking of this, she endured the discomfort of being drenched in the rain and walked out of the yard under Shadow's worried gaze.
However, as soon as the gate opened, a bright red figure suddenly came into view, and the familiar figure made Shen Qing's heart tighten.
The person in front of me was holding a green umbrella, standing in the rain. He had a tall figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, like a green bamboo in the process of growing, green and upright.
Raindrops constantly tapped the umbrella, hoping to catch a glimpse of the handsome figure beneath it. However, the canopy obscured most of his features, revealing only a delicate, sharp jaw. Their hopes dashed, they settled for the next best thing: a curtain of rain weaving across the umbrella, drizzling down. The curtain of rain obscured his form, preventing anyone else from catching a glimpse.
However, his figure was already extremely familiar in her mind. Even with just a hand, a glance, or a light cough, she could immediately recognize it as him.
When did he come? Just now? Or even earlier?
Chen Qing's heart was slowly tightened by a big hand, making her almost unable to breathe. Looking at someone with an indecipherable expression, she subconsciously took a step back and was about to close the gate.
Halfway through, a foot seemed to be blocking the way, seemingly slowly but undeniably, making it impossible for Chen Qing to close the door.
After a while, thin beads of sweat appeared on her back.
"You'an, you're not listening." The umbrella lifted slightly, revealing a handsome young man's face. His pupils were a strange red, giving him a seductive aura.
Qiu Ren was summoned, and his body slowly expanded. He reluctantly moved from Chen Qing's waist to his fingertips, but his head was still facing Chen Qing.
Chen Qing looked at Qiu Ren, who had been hanging on her body for some time. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and then a surge of anger almost broke her head. She trembled slightly and said, "You followed me?!"
The young man said aggrievedly, "I called you and you didn't respond, so I asked Qiu Ren to go out and take a look. I didn't expect it to hang onto you and never come back."
He opened the door half-forcefully, but his expression was aggrieved and harmless.
"I just realized after I finished showering that you and Qiu Ren had run away and didn't want me anymore."
The irresistible force knocked Shen Qing backwards, but a hand suddenly appeared from her waist and pulled her back from danger. He held this position that made her half-fall and said, "You'an, where is this? Who is in the room?"
"What's it to you?!" she said dissatisfiedly.
Chen Qing didn't like this half-fallen posture, and wanted to stand up by holding on to the door beside him, but with a bang, he kicked the door to the ground.
Before Shen Qing's gaze fell on the other door, he repeated his old trick.
The two doors lay miserably on the cold ground, all wet by the rain, looking quite miserable.
Li Daoxuan looked resentful and said in a deep voice, "When I think of Youan having touched these things, my heart becomes blocked. When my heart becomes blocked, I can't help but take action."
After hearing his words, Chen Qing felt it was extremely absurd. She was so angry that she saw stars and cursed: "Li Daoxuan, is that a gourd stuck between your ears? Why are you jealous of the two doors?! You--" Why didn't you just shovel the ground she walked on.
He swallowed the words back in time when they came to his lips.
Given Li Daoxuan's childish personality, she was afraid that he could really do it.
Realizing the door's loud noise, she was afraid that the unsuspecting shadow might hear the noise and come out of the secret passage, so she immediately shouted, "Go back!"
Hearing her shout, Li Daoxuan tilted his head slightly, confusion flashing in his eyes, "What?" He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then a smile spread across his lips, "I understand, Youan wants to go back with me."
He tensed his arms and the girl was in his arms in an instant.
As if he had held the most precious item, his eyes were shining and full of joy, and he rubbed his chin against the top of her head.
Chen Qing still couldn't get used to his dog-like nature, always clinging to her. Her face was wrinkled, and she pressed her hands against his shoulders, trying to pull away. She had thought it would be the same as usual, and that he might even hold her tighter, but he just let go.
He suddenly turned his back on her and bowed to his knees.
Shen Qing instantly understood that he was going to carry her on his back.
She couldn't ask for more.
Afraid that he would ask about the affairs of the mansion again, Chen Qing hurriedly moved forward and put her arms around his neck.
Feeling the girl's soft and warm body covering him, he couldn't help but roll his throat, and his long eyelashes trembled.
"Hold on tight, I'll take you home."
Li Daoxuan put his arm around her knees and lifted her up effortlessly.
Chen Qing looked back at the deserted courtyard and signaled the shadow hidden in the dark to close the door and not let anyone discover this place.
Only after receiving a signal from Shadow did she finally let go of her worries.
"When did you come here? I want to hear the truth, otherwise I will hate you."
Li Daoxuan: "Just now."
She was completely relieved, thought for a moment, and then explained: "A good friend of mine lives there. She doesn't like to go out and see people, so I went to see her."
Li Daoxuan hummed in a muffled voice, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Chen Qing's tone was filled with anger. "I'm disgusted by what you did today. I hate you following me without permission."
Li Daoxuan said: "I didn't lie to you. Qiuren wanted to follow me. I just came to find Qiuren." And to find you by the way.
Chen Qing sneered, "Li A'man, how old are you? Do you think I will believe this excuse?"
"Five years old."
The voice was as soft as a mosquito's. If you didn't listen carefully, you would soon be drowned out by the pleasant sound of rain.
Chen Qing suspected that she had heard it wrong, and she couldn't believe it and said, "What?"
"If I say I'm five years old, will You'an let me go to bed?" Chen Qing watched his ears turn red inch by inch.
Chen Qing held his face in her hands, kneading and twisting it vigorously. Her voice was filled with shock, "Li A'man! Where's your face?! Where's your backbone?! Where's your pride gone?!"
She leaned over to look at him, "Aren't you childish?"
Li Daoxuan lowered his eyes to avoid her sight, holding her steadily as they walked in the rain, one hand also holding up the oil-paper umbrella, "What face? I don't know. The couch is very hard, and it's cold when I sleep at night, which makes my face uncomfortable."
Shen Qing thought that from now on, the two of them would be "inseparable" in the true sense of the word, and it was inevitable that he would go to bed.
But now she just didn't want to give him his wish, so she said affectionately, "But I like obedient dogs." She curved her eyebrows and said word by word, "Only obedient dogs can get on their master's bed."
Chen Qing thought that, with his unruly nature, he would probably want to throw her off his back if he heard words like "dog" and "master", then point his sword at her and say arrogantly, "You want me to be your dog?" Then he sneered, "I'll turn you into a dog!"
At least before he was infected with the Love Gu, his temperament had always been like this. Chen Qing also thought so.
But she underestimated the power of the love poison.
She felt a warm and moist touch on her palm, and her mind went blank for a moment before she realized that he had licked her palm with his tongue!
Chen Qing quickly pulled her hand away, rubbing her palm against his shoulder with a dark face, and her fair palm soon turned red.
Li Daoxuan looked gloomy, staring at her straightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master, I will obey."
