Chapter 208: Night Interrogation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In just the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Feng Weiping, Chen Kui, and the others lay on the ground, panting. Their faces and bodies were covered in bloody scratches. All of them looked miserable.
Little White could have easily killed all of them, but it only toyed with them. Just as Feng Weiping was about to collapse, a few figures appeared at the entrance.
“Oh, Fourth Princess, why aren’t you resting at the relay station at this time? You actually had the leisure to visit the dungeon and play with our tiger,” Qian Jiao said mockingly.
“You did this on purpose! Crown Prince Nan isn’t here at all!” Feng Weiping said furiously as realization dawned on her.
“Huh? What do you mean, Fourth Princess? Don’t tell me you didn’t sleep at night because you were looking for Crown Prince Nan?” Qian Jiao said, pretending to be surprised. Then, she clicked her tongue and said with an exaggerated regretful expression, “You should’ve told us earlier. We would’ve brought you to see him. He’s not here.”
“You, you b*tch! You deliberately set up a trap here for me!” Feng Weiping said, struggling to get up. She swung her whip with all her might at Qian Jiao.
However, Little White quickly leaped over and tore her whip up. Then, it looked at her with a chilling gaze.
Qian Mei said nonchalantly, “Fourth Princess, Little White has a bad temper. It’s best if you don’t provoke it.”
Feng Weiping was still boiling with anger, but she was afraid of Little White so she could only forcefully suppress her anger. She gritted her teeth and tried to regain her dignity as she said, “I…”
However, Qian Jiao and Qian Mei did not give Feng Weiping a chance at all.
“Guards, the Fourth Princess and General Chen were frightened by Little White.
Send them away.”
After that, a few guards stepped forward and dragged Feng Weiping and the others away.
“How dare you touch me! Do you want to die?” Feng Weiping scolded in a shrill voice.
However, no one paid attention to Feng Weiping. She and the others were carelessly thrown into a carriage before they were sent back to the relay station.
Qian Jiao and Qian Mei exchanged a look. At the same time, they marveled inwardly at how accurate Yu Yunxi’s prediction was.
Yu Yunxi had long expected Feng Weiping to try and kidnap Nan Xun. As such, she told them to wait for Feng Weiping and the others here.
“The Fourth Princess is really shameless,” Qian Jiao said with a disgusted expression on her face.
“They’ll be staying here for a while. We’ll have to keep our guards up in case anything goes wrong, ” Qian Mei reminded seriously.
“I understand.”
“By the way, where’s Crown Prince Nan?” Qian Jiao asked with a frown.
“Him? He has long been taken away by the County Princess and the Prince Regent,” Qian Mei said with a shrug.
At the same time.
At the most remote place in Xinan.
Jiang Ying, Jiang Chuan, Qian Ji, and the others were waiting outside a building.
Inside a dark room that reeked of blood.
Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili looked at Nan Xun, whose hands and feet were tied up, coldly.
“What brings the two of you here today?”
Nan Xun looked up at them with bloodshot eyes. His face was stained with blood. All in all, he looked sinister. Even in such an environment and state, he did not look panicked. It was as though he was the one who won.
“Who’s Liang Yang to you?” Feng Yili asked sternly.
Nan Xun’s eyes flashed briefly upon hearing this. He quickly recovered and asked, “Who is that?”
“What? You don’t even know the name of your master and the Imperial Preceptor of Nanyue?” Feng Yili asked coldly.
Nan Xun sneered. “Since you’ve already investigated it, why are you asking me? How pointless.”
Yu Yunxi did not say anything. She took her dagger out and walked toward Nan Xun. Without any hesitation, she stabbed his shoulder with her dagger.
Nan Xun frowned from the pain. He glared at Yu Yunxi and said threateningly, “You dare to hurt me?”
“I’m the winner after all. You’re just a prisoner. You should behave like one.
Even if I want to kill you now, what can you do?” Yu Yunxi said nonchalantly.
At the same time, she stared at the wound on Nan Xun’s shoulder. In less than the time than it took for half an incense stick to burn, the wound began to heal.
Yu Yunxi turned to Feng Yili and said, “Your sect’s evil technique is really terrible. Wounds can even heal so quickly. Even those with divine medical skills aren’t capable of such a feat.”
Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Feng Yili could guess what she was thinking. He asked softly, “Are you wondering why I didn’t cultivate it since it’s so powerful?
Otherwise, I’d be able to teach you.”
Yu Yunxi coughed and said awkwardly, “I just think it’s miraculous. It can do more than a doctor.”
“Don’t even think about it. It’s called an evil technique for a reason. It’s extremely harmful, and it’s easy for those who cultivate it to go berserk. Moreover, you’ll have to pay a high price to cultivate it,” Feng Yili said in a hoarse voice as he massaged his temples.
“I can understand why cultivators might go berserk, but what do you mean by having to pay a high price?” Yu Yunxi asked curiously.
“Guess. Crown Prince Nan isn’t that young. Why doesn’t he have any children?” Feng Yili said meaningfully.
Upon hearing these words, Nan Xun looked as though someone had stepped on his tail. He gritted his teeth and glared at Feng Yili as though he wanted to tear Feng Yili apart.
Yu Yunxi was even more curious after hearing this. She turned around and quickly checked Nan Xun’s pulse.
Nan Xun was further angered by this. He began to struggle, trying to attack her. Alas, he was bound by black iron. No matter how powerful his internal energy was, he could not use it.
Yu Yunxi’s expression changed when she sensed Nan Xun’s pulse. She had never encountered such a chaotic pulse before. She raised her head and looked at Feng Yili in shock as she said, “His body looks fine, but his internal organs are rotting. His internal organs are like those of an old man in his twilight years. And… It seems like he’s infertile…”
“So? Do you still want to cultivate this technique?” Feng Yili asked.
“No, no, of course not,” Yu Yunxi said quickly, shaking her head.
Indeed, nothing good was free in this world. There was always a price to pay for everything.
“Back then, many people died because they secretly cultivated this technique. However, there were still people who were undeterred by this because they’re too anxious to succeed…” Feng Yili said as he looked at Nan Xun.
Nan Xun sneered. “So what? People only know that my martial arts are powerful. Imperial Father also praised me because of this. Who cares about the price?”
“If the Emperor of Nanyue finds out that his Crown Prince is infertile, do you think he still keep you as the Crown Prince?” Yu Yunxi asked.
Nan Xun finally became anxious.. He looked at Yu Yunxi murderously as he asked, “What do you want to do, Yu Yunxi?”
