Chapter 212 Severed Finger
The Sand Cave is the most chaotic place in the entire Duyunfang area. It is protected by a barrier, allowing outsiders to enter but making it difficult for those inside to leave. There are countless vicious villains inside who treat women like animals. If an innocent woman were thrown in, she would probably be devoured by them until not even bones were left.
“I forgot about this place. The Sand Cave is indeed a good place. Take her there.” After Baili Yicheng finished speaking, he saw that the woman lying on the ground did not make a sound. He frowned and said, “If you come to beg me, I may spare you out of mercy.”
The absence of distress and pleas made him feel quite uneasy for a moment.
It seems that death doesn't matter to her, nor does going to the Sand Caves, that place where villains fight each other.
Shi Dong tightened her grip on her sleeve, fearing that Baili Yicheng would let the girl go if she begged for mercy. However, after waiting in the room for a long time without the girl making a sound, the smile on her face became even more genuine.
A fool who refuses to bow his head for the sake of saving face.
As far as she knew, the people in the sand cave hated the people of Duyunfang to the extreme. If they knew that she had been thrown out of Baili Yicheng's mansion, they would torture her to death.
However, fate is now sealed.
Shi Dong glanced at the hairpin tightly clutched in the girl's hand, and slowly pointed with her jade finger, "Young Master, Dong'er wants this hairpin. The three flowers on this hairpin are so lifelike. Dong'er hasn't seen such a beautiful hairpin in a long time."
That's true.
Shi Dong has always loved to adorn herself with precious jewels, and she noticed the hairpin in the other woman's hair when she visited her earlier.
“This hairpin is stained with blood, it’s dirty,” Baili Yicheng said with disgust after glancing at the blood-stained hairpin. “If you don’t want this hairpin, Dong’er, I will buy you any other hairpin you want.”
"Young Master, Dong'er wants this!" Shi Dong's heart and eyes were filled with this exquisite hairpin.
"Alright, alright, once the servants have cleaned the blood off the hairpin, they'll bring it to your courtyard right away, okay?" Baili Yicheng gave in to the woman's coaxing.
Mu Jianjian was startled by their conversation. She immediately tried to stuff the hairpin into her sleeve and move it into the system space, but the guard behind her grabbed her wrist.
"Let go," the guard said coldly.
Even though one of Mu Jianjian's hands was dislocated, she didn't loosen it with any force she could muster; she clenched her teeth tightly.
This is the Morning and Evening Hairpin that my senior brother gave her in the Mysterious Heaven Realm...
Even though reason told Mu Jianjian that everything would be fine after she loosened the hairpin, she still didn't let go until the guards started to pry her fingers apart, forcibly tearing them open and drawing blood.
"Since my sister wants it so much, then Dong'er will not." Shi Dong's voice was filled with loneliness and regret as she slowly wrapped her arms around Baili Yicheng's arm.
"If she doesn't let go, break her fingers and take them." Baili Yicheng rarely saw the other party so flustered, all because of a small hairpin?
This realization made him feel angry and ashamed.
[Host, let go! Your body can't hold on any longer. You are no longer a cultivator. Don't keep going!] The system's voice in my head even sounded like it was crying.
"What if she takes the hairpin and throws it away?" Mu Jianjian said softly.
This was a gift from her senior, and she didn't want to lose it.
【Host...why...】The system felt extremely distressed to see its usually calm and rational host lose his composure for the first time.
"Crackling sound—"
With two sounds, the girl's two fingers twisted in a strange way, losing their grip on the hairpin. The hairpin was forcibly taken away by the guard, and the girl's hand was a bloody mess.
Shi Dong's smile was innocent and kind, yet it sent chills down one's spine. Baili Yicheng looked at the semi-conscious girl below with disdain and said with disgust, "Send a Foundation Establishment cultivator to throw her into the sand cave."
"Should we call a physician to treat the young lady's injuries first?" the guard hesitated.
"Are you the master or am I the master?" Baili Yicheng slammed his hand on the table, the sound so loud that the guards immediately knelt down. "Sparing her life is already a great favor. Throw her into the sand pit, her life or death is none of my business."
She used to have a pretty face that made her somewhat pleasing to the eye, but now that pretty face is gone, what use is she to him?
Baili Yicheng looked down at the pitiful-looking woman and smiled, "Dong'er, why are you feeling wronged again?"
“Young Master, Dong’er hasn’t gone out for quite some time now. Could you accompany Dong’er on a trip these days?” Shi Dong shook Baili Yicheng’s arm, making the other man laugh.
"We have some guests visiting recently, and there's a banquet planned. Dong'er, why don't you come with me?"
"Okay." Shi Dong snuggled into the man's arms, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.

Mu Jianjian collapsed to the ground, feeling dizzy. She had only a little bit of the pills left, so she ate a high-grade one. As she was recovering her energy, she vaguely sensed someone putting her into a sack.
Fresh blood dripped down the cloth bag onto the ground, but no one stopped, as if they were carrying something to be placed on the stove.
After a long, long time, Mu Jianjian felt a violent sense of weightlessness, and then with a "bang," she was thrown to the ground.
pain.
Aches and pains swept through her entire body, and the arm she had twisted earlier was struck a second time, the sudden, intense pain almost causing her to faint.
At the same time, voices could be heard outside the sack.
"Someone else is here? Where did this poor soul come from this time?" A crisp, youthful voice rang out.
“What use is a pitiful person? It’s better if they’re dead, so we don’t have to go to the market to buy meat tomorrow.” Another voice sounded very fierce.
"Look at the mark on this bag, this mark is... the mark of Young Master Baili's mansion?" The third voice was a woman's. "I'm not mistaken, am I?"
"That's great! How did Baili Yicheng's dog end up here? We'll all have meat to eat tonight!" The fierce voice sounded very excited.
"What if he's a good person?"
"We've waited so long by the 'sky crevice' to finally see a figure. As long as we don't get robbed, who cares if they're a good or bad person?"
