Upon hearing Xing Su's voice, a glint of light flashed in Hun Changqing's eyes. His mind raced instantly. Xing Su seemed to know why he had survived, or rather, she had allowed him to live. But what was Xing Su's purpose in letting him live?
Countless guesses flashed through Hun Changqing's mind. First, he ruled out the possibility that Xing Su was a masochist, and that she had fallen in love with him after his previous less-than-ideal methods.
Hun Changqing had never met anyone who sounded so obviously abnormal, and in his opinion, Xing Su couldn't be that kind of person, so he ruled that out as well. After eliminating various impractical reasons, only one remained.
Hun Changqing recalled threatening Xing Su with her brother, saying she would make him suffer the cruel tortures of the Soul Hall. This clearly showed Xing Su's brother complex; she might have let him live so that he too could experience the Soul Hall's tortures.
Previously, when Hun Changqing recalled those Soul Hall punishments, he only thought about how to inflict them on others, so he felt nothing for himself. But now, the thought of those cruel punishments being inflicted upon him sent a shiver down his spine, a chill running down his spine.
Hun Changqing wasn't afraid of death, but he feared a fate worse than death, and he feared pain. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up cultivating his physical body because of the agony of body tempering. The thought of the Soul Hall punishments being inflicted upon him was unbearable.
Instantly, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He began to secretly mobilize the last of his Taiyin True Qi, drawing upon his Taiyin Origin. He planned to self-destruct. He was willing to take his life, but he couldn't accept being subjected to that kind of torture that was worse than death.
Xingxiu, standing before Hun Changqing, looked at him, whose head was bowed and face obscured. Seeing his lack of response, a hint of confusion crossed her face, followed by a flicker of displeasure in her eyes. Hun Changqing's reaction was quite different from her expected disbelief in the face of her overwhelming power, thwarting a certain mischievous pleasure within her and causing her considerable dissatisfaction.
However, her discontent, which had clouded her otherwise cold expression, quickly alerted her to the strange aura emanating from Hun Changqing. She was instantly alarmed, disregarding the possibility of harming him, and ruthlessly struck, her jade hand clenching tightly in the air at Hun Changqing's location.
Instantly, Hun Changqing, who was secretly mobilizing his Yin essence to self-destruct, felt as if he had been struck by a primordial beast. The Yin true energy guiding his essence shattered instantly, and a mouthful of crimson blood tinged with silver light gushed from his mouth.
As the act of drawing upon his source energy was forcibly interrupted, Hun Changqing, already extremely weak, weakened even further. Sensing his own condition, he gave a self-deprecating laugh, slumped to the ground, and a look of despair in his eyes. He seemed to already foresee the countless cruel punishments he would face, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Xing Su, having stopped Hun Changqing's actions, immediately withdrew her hand. Realizing that Hun Changqing was only slightly weak and otherwise unaffected, her tense heart instantly relaxed.
A wave of lingering fear then washed over Xing Su. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had been even a second slower, or what would have happened to her if Hun Changqing had self-destructed. Fortunately, she had stopped it all.
Suppressing her lingering fear, Xingxiu turned her gaze to Hun Changqing, whose lips were stained with blood, a bitter smile playing on his lips, his expression one of helplessness. She had never seen Hun Changqing like this before, and there was a hint of tragic beauty about him.
This sight instantly caused the emotions and desires that Xingxiu had temporarily suppressed after successfully refining her bloodline origin and breaking through her cultivation level to surge and spread wildly once more.
Moreover, the desires rising within Xingxiu were several times stronger than before. During the past month, while refining her bloodline origin and enduring indescribable pain and torment, what kept her going was her single-minded focus on succeeding and possessing Hun Changqing…
And while enduring such inhuman pain and torment, her twisted mind amplified the evil thoughts within her without limit.
At this moment, Xing Su looked at Hun Changqing sitting on the ground, a wicked glint in her eyes, and a strange smile appeared on her lips. She moved gracefully and slowly approached Hun Changqing, looking down at him. Seeing that Hun Changqing didn't even raise his head, treating her as if she were nothing,
Xing Su didn't react. With a beautiful smile, she slowly bent down and extended her fair and flawless hands to gently wipe away the small bloodstain from the corner of Hun Changqing's mouth. This gesture was just like the one months ago when Hun Changqing wiped the dust and dirt off Xing Su's face. "Don't you think our current situation is quite similar to what it was a few months ago? It's just that our positions seem to have been reversed,"
Xingxiu said gently after wiping the bloodstains from the corner of Hun Changqing's mouth. She placed her hand on Hun Changqing's fair face, a strange smile on her lips, and said with a hint of amusement.
"Ahem. You don't need to be so sarcastic. It's all about the winner taking all. This time, I've fallen into your hands. Do with me as you please. But if you're going to spare my life to torture me with the Soul Hall's punishments, I advise you to just kill me directly. Otherwise, if I accidentally escape, well, hehehe." Hun Changqing
ignored Xing Su's words, coughed twice, suppressed the surging blood in his body, and then revealed a sinister smile. His eyes were filled with venom and malice as he spoke to Xing Su with an evil aura. He wanted to see if he could anger Xing Su and make him kill him directly, so that he wouldn't suffer the torture of the Soul Hall's punishments.
As if truly provoked by Hun Changqing's words, a flash of bloodlust appeared in Xing Su's eyes. Her fair hand, which had been gently stroking Hun Changqing, instantly moved down and gripped his neck tightly. With a slight tightening, Hun Changqing found it difficult to breathe, his face turning red.
Xing Su then brought her head close to Hun Changqing's cheek, feeling his now heavy breathing. Her wicked smile remained unchanged, and her own cheek was even slightly flushed from the impact of his heavy breath. Xing Su pressed her face against Hun Changqing's, her breath sweet and fragrant, and whispered,
"You really want to die...?"
Hun Changqing looked at the strange Xing Su and felt a chill run down his spine, but he had no choice but to continue.
"You'd better kill me now, or else..."
Hun Changqing sneered, but before the sneer could even finish, he felt a strong gust of wind throw him to the ground. In that instant, he thought he had successfully provoked Xing Su and was about to attack.
However, he saw Xing Su standing in front of him, looking down at him. Her silver hair was flying wildly without wind, and the clarity in her eyes was gone. She was now looking at him with a ferocious expression, letting out a low growl, no longer as ethereal as before.
"You want to die? Don't worry, you won't die. I will indeed torture you, torture you properly!"
Then, like a beast ready to devour its prey, Xing Su's eyes turned bloodshot as she pounced on Hun Changqing, who had just been thrown to the ground.
Then, like a wild beast tearing apart its prey, Xing Su ripped Hun Changqing's black robe to shreds. As the robe crumbled, Xing Su's eyes turned even more bloodshot, and her breathing became incredibly heavy and rapid
. Hun Changqing was completely stunned by Xing Su's actions, his mind blank as if struck by lightning. His eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and he stared blankly at Xing Su wreaking havoc on him.
At this moment, Hun Changqing finally understood what Xing Su was doing. He couldn't help but want to slap himself for his recklessness, and a sense of relief rose within him. Luckily, Xing Su had stopped him in time; otherwise, he would have died a truly unjust death. After pondering for a moment
, looking at Xing Su, who was now somewhat out of her mind and acting like a wild beast, Hun Changqing gave a bitter smile. "If you wanted to do this, you should have said so earlier! I would have just lay there! Why scare me like this?" Even the Dou Di Ancestor has been brought out!
Hun Changqing could only manage a bitter smile and silently endure this torment, so different from what he had anticipated.
