In the secluded room, two women chatted animatedly. This article was first published by lwxs520.
Jin Ya Hui chuckled lightly, "My father saw that Gu Jing was intelligent and resourceful, so he decided to nurture him. Gu Jing did not disappoint my father. He is smart, hardworking, and can learn anything quickly. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a genius."
Ji Xiaoxiao's pupils bulged, and she was extremely excited, feeling a sense of happiness, as if "the novel I've been following for five years is finally coming to an end."
"Then, will your father let him go so he can focus on his family and fight for power?"
Jin Yahui shook her head, looking disdainful. "Let him go? Dream on. My father went to great lengths to cultivate him; how could he possibly let a tiger return to the mountains and cause future trouble? In the underworld, most of those big shots have had a thing with Gu Jing. Even if my father wanted to be merciful, they wouldn't allow it. After being trained, Gu Jing is talented and handsome, so my father uses him to gather confidential information, which is why my father has been able to maintain his position as the head of the underworld."
Oh my, you really can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket. Gu Jing, at such a young age, has already seen it all. He's a true veteran. I admire him.
"So how did he get back to the Gu family?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.
Jin Yahui opened her mouth, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. "I...I..."
Kim Ah-hye died before she could finish her last words.
"Hey, wake up!"
Ji Xiaoxiao grabbed Jin Yahui's shoulders and shook her vigorously from side to side.
Despite Ji Xiaoxiao's Lion's Roar technique, Jin Yahui remained unmoved and calm.
"He's dead already? I haven't even heard the ending yet!"
Ji Xiaoxiao curled her lip and dragged Jin Yahui's corpse into the meat grinder that Li Fei had brought. The machine roared to life, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air, gradually enveloping the golden-yellow chamber in a bright pale red.
"Someone come here." Ji Xiaoxiao carried several buckets of blood and meat scraps, her steps heavy as she walked through the tunnel. She knocked on the door of the study, and the person outside opened the door with a click.
"Xuanwu... ugh..."
People vomited all over the place after seeing several buckets of blood and meat scraps.
Ji Xiaoxiao ignored them and directly ordered, "Feed these things to the dogs."
"Black Tortoise Master, you...?" Are you even human?
They couldn't get any information out of him. Even the most audacious person would be as timid as a mouse in front of Ji Xiaoxiao.
"Remember, make sure you feed it to the dog. Don't even think about secretly dumping it somewhere. If I find out, hmph, I don't think you'd want to experience what it's like to be stuffed into a meat grinder." Ji Xiaoxiao used "Magic Charm Avenue" and spoke softly, like a gentle breeze.
"Yes, Xuanwu Master."
Ji Xiaoxiao did not rush out of the study. After the blood and flesh were carried away, Ji Xiaoxiao closed the door herself and turned back to the secret room in the study.
Li Fei imprisoned Ji Xiaoxiao, and this imprisonment lasted for another two months.
"Master, you're back."
Ji Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged on the floor of the secret room, silently absorbing the power floating in the air.
Li Fei was wearing a see-through nightgown, revealing glimpses of what lay beneath. Ji Xiaoxiao glanced at him openly a few times and couldn't help but sigh, "Men, ah, there are all sorts of things, big and small."
"Xiaowen, I can't take it anymore."
Li Fei's face was flushed, and he was panting heavily.
"Master, I am a respectable woman." Ji Xiaoxiao hid in the corner and talked nonsense with a straight face.
Li Fei paused, then suddenly burst into laughter, "A respectable woman? Xiao Wen, I'm not a casual man either. If you come with me, I'll guarantee you endless wealth and glory."
“Master, my mother once told me that if you can believe a man’s words, then pigs can fly,” Ji Xiaoxiao said. “Master, I am an unfortunate old woman, unworthy of you who are powerful and influential. Please have mercy and let me go.”
"Dream on." Li Fei rejected the offer, which would leave him with nothing, without even thinking.
Ji Xiaoxiao's hand climbed up the wall, her palm slowly feeling the rough texture of the wall. The small, protruding pebbles brushed against her skin, and Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tremble.
"Damn it, am I thirsty?" Ji Xiaoxiao cursed herself inwardly for being so indecent.
Li Fei stared intently at Ji Xiaoxiao, his eyes glazed and fervent, as if he were looking at a unique work of art, exquisite and dazzling.
"Xiaowen, don't reject me. I've endured so much for you, how can you bear to make me suffer?" Li Fei looked hurt.
Ji Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed, "Did I hurt you?"
Li Fei continued, "Xiao Wen, I love you. For you, I was willing to break the oath I made to my ancestors and imprison you in a secret room day and night, rather than take your life. I have sacrificed so much, haven't you seen it?"
"No." Ji Xiaoxiao replied coldly.
Li Fei was speechless and choked with emotion. This woman, this woman is arrogant because she is favored.
"Xuanwen, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. Today I'm going to take you for real."
Ji Xiaoxiao said coldly, "Li Fei, I am a Heavenly-level expert. Aren't you afraid of me?"
Li Fei stopped in his tracks and turned to laugh, "If it were the old you, I would have been patient. But the current you is nothing but an empty shell, all show and no substance. Heaven-level expert, come at me. I'll stand still and you can kill me with one palm."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxiao's face darkened.
"He knows?"
Ji Xiaoxiao thought, "Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well risk my life and drag him down with me to the underworld, so at least I'll have someone to take me with me."
Li Fei, unaware of the turmoil in Ji Xiaoxiao's heart, said smugly, "You've been in this secret room for several months now. I've used a dissolving agent on all the food and water you've eaten and drunk. By now, your internal energy should have dissipated long ago."
Oh, I see. I was wondering why there was always a strange taste in my food and drinks. It turns out it was because of the seasoning.
