71: Chapter 71 Goddess of War? Nothing More Than My Plaything - 5
As those words left his lips, the scene instantly plunged into a deathly silence, as if the surrounding air had frozen at that very moment.
"Hahahaha." Qin Xiaogan slowly covered his face with his hand, then couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laughter started low, then gradually grew louder, echoing in the air.
Xie Xiyun's face was filled with undisguisable humiliation.
She slowly lowered her head, like a delicate flower whose vibrant crown had been bowed by the ravages of a storm, filled with sorrow.
Qin Xiaogan gradually wiped the smile from his face.
Then, his flowing white hair slowly fell, resting gently against the corner of his eye.
"Very good."
With that said, Qin Xiaogan hooked his long, slender fingers slightly.
Immediately, a gentle, textured spiritual energy quietly drifted toward Feng Tao, who was already on the verge of death.
Before long, Feng Tao's ceaselessly bleeding wounds began to heal at an incredible speed.
Seeing this, Feng Tao's expression became extremely twisted.
She roared with a hoarse voice, "No! No! Just kill me!"
Qin Xiaogan knitted his sword-like brows.
"Shut up," he spat out coldly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Tao shuddered violently, as if struck by lightning.
Then, Qin Xiaogan cast his gaze toward Xie Xiyun, signaling that she could begin.
Seeing this, Xie Xiyun's face darkened, and under Qin Xiaogan's playful gaze, she crawled out of the pit with extreme difficulty.
After crawling out of the pit, she glanced at Feng Tao with a look of guilt.
Then, after hesitating for a moment, Xie Xiyun slowly bent her legs, her knees inching toward the ground; with every drop, it felt as though she had exhausted all her strength.
Xie Xiyun bit her lip tightly, her face a mask of pain and struggle, with fine beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead.
Her hands clenched into fists involuntarily, as if she were trying hard to suppress the turmoil within her.
Finally, her knees touched the ground with a soft "thud," a sound that seemed to strike heavily upon her heart.
Xie Xiyun kept her head bowed, her eyes revealing deep despair and submission. At this moment, she felt as if her dignity had been completely crushed, yet she was powerless to resist.
Qin Xiaogan saw this and said expressionlessly, "Continue."
Xie Xiyun took a deep breath and slowly crawled toward the space between Qin Xiaogan's legs.
Meanwhile, Feng Tao seemed to have forgotten the pain in her body, staring blankly at Xie Xiyun, who was crawling with such difficulty.
She was the proud daughter of the Great Zhou. The apple of Marquis Wuan's eye.
What mistake could she have possibly made to end up in such a state?
What has happened to this world? Evil people act with impunity, while the good are left kneeling without recourse.
Soon, under Qin Xiaogan's gaze, Xie Xiyun struggled with great difficulty to crawl through that oppressive space between his legs.
When Xie Xiyun finally completed the action, her face was etched with exhaustion and sorrow.
Then, in a slightly trembling voice, Xie Xiyun said slowly, "Let her go."
No sooner had the words left her lips than a sharp "snap!" suddenly rang in Xie Xiyun's ears, like a thunderclap exploding in her mind.
Xie Xiyun froze, her mind going completely blank, unable to react to the sudden turn of events.
Then, she watched helplessly as a head slowly rolled to her feet, tumbling across the ground with an eerie rhythm.
She looked closely and immediately felt the world spinning, her stomach churning. It was indeed Feng Tao's head; that once-familiar face now looked so strange.
A look of relief actually lingered on her face, as if death were a long-awaited salvation for her.
Xie Xiyun stared blankly at the head, her body trembling uncontrollably, tears spilling from her eyes.
"Feng Tao... how could this happen..."
She reached out, seemingly wanting to touch the lifeless face, but stopped in mid-air, as if she couldn't believe everything happening before her was real.
Then, Xie Xiyun suddenly lifted her head, staring fixedly at Qin Xiaogan's disgusting smiling face.
"Why! Wasn't it agreed that if I crawled through, you would let Feng Tao go!!!"
Qin Xiaogan let his hands hang naturally at his sides and said in a gentle tone.
"What I said was that I would consider it."
After saying this, Qin Xiaogan suddenly frowned, a look of embarrassment appearing on his face, and then he said apologetically.
"I forgot to tell you, my consideration was whether to choose death by decapitation or death by blood loss."
"It seems you are not very satisfied with this result."
"Sorry, next time for sure..."
"Let her die by blood loss."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiyun's pupils dilated sharply.
Then, she just stared blankly at the man before her, as if she had lost her soul.
Seven years... can it really make a person become this terrifying?
She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.
Xie Xiyun only knew that she was going crazy.
The stabbing pain, as if her soul were being violently pierced, swept through her entire body like a hurricane, leaving her in unbearable agony, as if driven to madness...
