Chapter 1391 - Mu Xue’s Death (2)”
Chapter 1391 “Mu Xue’s Death (2)”
“Thank you for gracing me with this opportunity Your Majesty!” Kneeling there, Red Leaf felt genuinely thankful for this chance to exact her suffering on the one responsible.
So what if the king doesn’t intend to forgive me? I only wanted my brother back when I made the deal with the prince, now that the goal is gone, this is the best I can ask for! I don’t want to live anyways without my younger brother with me!
“Five days, I’ll give you five days to torture her as you please. Afterwards, you are to do the deed on your own. I won’t send my subordinates to check on you.” After dropping this sentence, Di Cang didn’t turn back and brushed past the lady.
Standing up to show a look of pure hatred, Red Leaf didn’t get sway by the implication of that sentence. Di Cang was saying she could flee afterwards if she liked, but that’s a pointless gesture of mercy on his part really because she had no intention to continue living. “Mu Xue, you killed my brother! Why did you kill him?”
A flash of panic flickered in Mu Xue’s eyes. Making a whimpering sound, the witch attempts to crawl backwards as fear takes hold along that face. To be clear, this vile being wasn’t afraid of dying at this point, that’s the least of her concern. What she’s afraid of was not being able to die for the next five days! She doesn’t even want to begin to imagine the sort of torture that’s coming.
“Graggghhhh!” She tries to speak out and beg for mercy, but all that came out was an indistinguishable garble of nonsense from Mu Xue’s mouth.
But then again, Red Leaf wouldn’t have cared either way regardless of what she said. Coming closer and closer, this lady looked dreadfully dark and scary as her expression becomes twisted and evil at the thought of what she could do.
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t talk, I still have five days. In these five days, I will make sure you understand what it means to suffer a horror that’s worse than death! I know you will like what I have in store for you….”
……
Somewhere else in the palace that much quieter and less rowdy.
“Sister… is there something else you need to say to me?” Bai Xiao eventually couldn’t hold back his impatience and asked.
Stalling there, Bai Yan slowly turns around: “Xiao’er, do you have anything to tell me?”
“I…” lowering his eyes in a contemplative manner, the boy appears hesitant, “Sister, I want to protect you like back when we were in the Liu Huo Kingdom. I want to be your shield like before.”
Even if I have to pay a much higher price, I don’t care, I will protect her…
“I don’t know what you’ve been through after we separated, but you need to understand, I’m no longer the weak and frail girl from back then. If anyone should be protecting anyone, it should be me protecting you as the older sister.” Taking a step forward, Bai Yan grasps onto the young man’s shoulder to reveal a firm look along the face.
“Sister, I will protect myself, I won’t…. make you sad.”
For you, I will protect myself and not let you endure that kind of suffering like today.
Bai Yan knew her persuasion likely wouldn’t work knowing how stubborn this brother of hers could be. Even so, she couldn’t just say nothing and not try after what she witnessed. No matter how much this lad grows, he would always be the same kind and warm person that he was back then, Bai Yan’s opinion of that would never change.
