Chapter 66.1: Luo Qing Luan’s Methods
Nalan Ye became increasingly curious. He thought that Luo Qing Luan would be scared after arriving at the torture chamber and didn’t expect that she would be even more calm than him.
Wearing a plain white dress, without any cosmetics, she looked lucid, elegant, and solitary, entirely incompatible with everything belonging to this torture chamber. But Luo Qing Luan completely ignored the gazes casted upon her from Nalan Ye and the guards. Step by step, she moved forward and spoke emotionlessly, “Who sent you to kill me?”
Hearing the sweet-sounding and gently voice, those men dressed in black appeared to have perceived the greatest mockery. With a ‘phthew’, they spat at her. “B*tch, don’t think that I’ll be afraid of you guys just because you’re torturing us. You want an answer? Dream on!”
Nalan Ye didn’t speak. He only stood by the side, calmly watching what Luo Qing Luan was doing.
He knew that she was unusual, full of craft and cunning, and also understood that she wasn’t like an ordinary pampered, softhearted young lady. However, as before, he still couldn’t figure it out. If even his subordinates and their methods couldn’t pry the truth open, what capability would a girl like her have to interrogate the facts out of these men.
Perhaps she was unreconciled with the way her wet nurse died? If she wanted to vent her feelings, then it’s up to her. As long as she could give vent, that’s fine.
“I don’t want to make it hard on you.” At this time, Luo Qing Luan opened her mouth, her voice indifferent, not revealing what mood she was in. There also wasn’t any unnecessary facial expression as she stood in front of that man dressed in black. As for the countless bloodstains and sinister wounds on his body, they were totally ignored. She only very calmly said, “You know, since you’ve already fallen into our hands, it’s impossible for you to live, but I can promise you that so long as you tell us who sent you to kill me, I can allow you to die without any pain at all.”
“Just you?” As if he heard something inconceivable, that leader glanced at his equally cruel subordinate and burst out laughing. “Repulsive girl, business rules apply in business. Don’t mention that we already received the customer’s money. Even if we haven’t, we still wouldn’t break our rules. You can just give up.”
“Bahaha! Silly little girl, you’re just talking big.” The face of the other man was also filled with disdain.
“Shut up!” A guard yelled loudly, then turned towards Nalan Ye to say respectfully, “Your Highness, these two people’s bones are quite hard. From what I can see, how about we apply brutal torture……”
“No need. Just allow me.” Luo Qing Luan coldly interrupted him.
Nalan Ye waved his hand indicating that the guard should step aside and wait for Luo Qing Luan to handle everything.
Moving another half step forward, Luo Qing Luan spoke as emotionlessly as before. “Last chance. Are you going to talk or not?” As she spoke, she had already prepared a silver needle in her hand, as fine as soft hair, glinting in silvery light. It looked to have no deterrence force whatsoever.
There was no sound at all. Those two people simply felt disinclined to even open their mouth and only glared at her. The sides of their lips exposed a mocking expression.
Suddenly, the light in Luo Qing Luan’s eyes changed as a sharp glint flashed by. At lightning speed, she thrust the needle into the man dressed in black before her, so fast that Nalan Ye, who had been staring at her continually, wasn’t able to see clearly. In but a blink, she withdrew her hand, as if she didn’t do anything just now.
“Ughhhhhh……”
At first, only a few stabs of pain were felt, not severe, as if ants were biting at him. But during the subsequent moments, the ensuing sensation made the man dressed in black abruptly changed expression. Within his body, an intense pain attacked, distinctly different from the previous flogging, as if the skin and flesh all over his body, his blood, and even his bones, were all emitting the pain, so deep, so intense, that he couldn’t even speak.
Besides groaning, the man dressed in black couldn’t do anything.
Surging cold sweat rolled down. In but a moment, his entire face turned malevolent. The pain was intolerable, as if he had been set aflame, blood boiling, forcing their way into his head. His face was deathly pale from the prior painful lashing, yet this time it already became as red as blood. It seemed as if just touching it would cause blood to gush out.
Struggling against the pain, the chains on his body clanked against one another endlessly, but he had been securely tied to the pillar, and couldn’t budge. Besides howling and screaming, it was impossible to do anything else.
The other man dressed in black by his side watched with eyes bulging.
This was his leader, one who ordinarily wouldn’t even flinch when getting injured. Surprisingly, at the moment……
A bout of the shivers sprung up involuntarily. He felt as if it was happening to him, and couldn’t help but tremble. He snuck a glance at that young lady dressed in white, who was as indifferent as before. She was so outstandingly beautiful and exquisite, appearing pure and refined within this torture chamber reeking of blood. However, he actually felt that she was like a demon, terrifying!
“You……you, what are you……” Shaking from head to toe as he trembled, this man dressed in black was incapable of mustering confidence.
Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly, and turned to look at him. “He’s not talking, how about you?”
This slight smile should’ve been sweet and charming, but looking at it made his scalp feel numb. He only hesitated for a moment before he heard Luo Qing Luan stated, “It doesn’t matter. It’s no bother if you won’t talk. I still have a lot of methods. Little by little, I’ll have you taste them well.”
As she spoke, it’s unknown where she took out a package and continued emotionlessly. “This drug, I think I should have you try it out properly. You certainly will like it very much. If you’re unable to endure, it’s best you confess. Naturally, if you don’t speak, I still have plenty of drugs for you to slowly try.”
Watching his leader letting out blood-curdling screams by his side, suffering so much that he directly fainted, he could no longer bear it and promptly exclaimed. “I’ll speak, I’ll speak!”
Nalan Ye was surprised. So simple? It was so easy to make two dogged men open their mouths?
But what he didn’t antic.i.p.ate was that Luo Qing Luan suddenly didn’t let the matter drop. She walked before that man who was losing his mind out of fear, opened the paper packet in her hand, and very serenely stated. “But I’ve changed my mind now. You guys killed my wet nurse. I feel terrible. I want to take revenge for my wet nurse. Therefore, I can only find trouble with you.”
