Both of them were desperate to survive. Unfortunately, Zhu Qinghao was not some kind of sage; she was a demon from hell.
"Fine, you two can stay alive for now—"
Liu Dafu and Zhang Cuihua were already overwhelmed by the pain and were completely focused on the "ghost" in front of them. When they heard her say that they could survive for now, they were relieved.
Zhu Qing saw through their thoughts and smiled again:
"You're relieved now? You're too optimistic."
I said I would keep you alive now, not that I would keep you alive in a little while, nor that I would keep you alive tomorrow.
And you probably don't know this, but to survive under the clutches of evil spirits requires paying a heavy price and enduring a great deal of suffering.
As they were talking, Zhu Qinghao had already slapped each of them twice.
Ouch, my hand really hurts, but it feels so good too.
After slapping her twice, she pulled a whip out of her spatial storage.
I received this when I was collecting things at the committee director's house; it was placed together with some antiques and calligraphy.
She took it out to use it at this moment purely because it had many barbs on it, which looked like it could hurt someone a lot.
At first, she had to be very careful, afraid of accidentally hurting herself. But after a few lashes, she became skilled and lashed faster and faster, while the wails of the elderly Liu couple never stopped.
Zhu Qinghao wasn't unprepared. As their wails grew louder, she teleported with her people to the foot of another mountain in the space.
There's nothing but trees here.
Suddenly, they went from their familiar home to the unfamiliar wilderness of Huangshan. Wang Dafu and Zhang Cuihua probably thought Zhu Qinghao was going to kill them there, and they were so scared that they wet themselves.
"Great Immortal, Great Immortal, spare me! Please let me go! I'll give you anything you want, please..."
Zhu Qinghao looked at Lin Dafu with great interest, a forced smile on her face.
"Oh? I wonder what else you have to give me? Tell me, maybe I'll let you go if I'm satisfied with one thing?"
Liu Dafu was probably surprised that this "ghost" would actually agree. His eyes widened, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with anything he could use for the transaction.
Zhu Qinghao looked down at him, her smile sinister, complemented by her appalling makeup.
"What? You have nothing to trade? Then you only have the choice between being punished or dying?"
Liu Dafu dared not say that he didn't want to choose any of them, but he racked his brains to scour his brains for anything of value that he knew, trying to please the evil spirit in front of him.
"No, no, no, I have it, I definitely have it, I definitely have it, Great Immortal, wait for me, I definitely have it..."
However, Zhu Qinghao had no intention of getting anything from them; she just wanted to give the two of them a good beating.
So, caught off guard, another whip lashed out, this time hitting Liu Dafu squarely in the mouth and face. Zhang Cuihua, who was right next to him, was also caught in the crossfire.
Under the combined mental and physical torment, the elderly couple quickly broke down and blurted out everything they knew that they felt had any value.
However, Zhu Qinghao was not interested in any of these things, so even as they talked, the whip in her hand never stopped.
Suddenly, Liu Dafu shouted out a sentence, which directly stopped Zhu Qinghao from wielding the whip.
"I have money! I have lots and lots of money! It's right here in the Zhu family villa, Great Immortal. I'll trade you all that money, just don't take my life. If you want to take someone's life, take this old woman's life instead..."
