Chapter 4: Being Abused

  Hao Lianju's heart skipped a beat as a burst of murderous aura erupted from his tall and lean body.

  Gong Zijun had four bodyguards following behind her, and she smiled as she emerged from the staircase. Her eyes swept across Qian Lixia on the ground, a flash of jealousy crossing the bottom of her eyes. With her hands clasped to her chest, Gong Zijun looked at Hao Lianmeng without any concealment, "How is it, Hao Lianmeng?"

  Hao Lianyu retracted his blade and his face returned to its usual expressionless state. "Why should I hand her over to you?"

  "Exactly—" The black long fingernails of Gongzi Xijun, which were as beautiful as they were eerie, seemed like the most lethal poison in this dim space. "You want her dead, and I don't want her alive either."

  She leaned forward, her long black fingernails sharp as she stroked Qiian Xia's tender cheek, and exclaimed: "Indeed, this is the kind of woman that Sheng looks up to. This beauty, it's a pure and touching loveliness."

  She turned to the bodyguards behind her and said, "You guys evaluate this woman. She is your future mistress, a woman you once liked?" She bit out the word "once" with a crisp sound.

  The bodyguards behind her didn't dare to slack off, and they hastily flattered and echoed, "How can this woman's beauty be compared to yours, Miss? It's simply like heaven and earth, the difference is too great." As soon as Gongzi Ji heard her subordinates' words, the smile on her face bloomed even more.

  Hao Lian's icy and puzzled gaze swept over the several bodyguards who were kowtowing, immediately making those people lower their heads in fear.

  His eyes deepened with doubt, and his gaze fell on Gongzi Ji, "Gongzi Ji, I just wanted her life, but you, it's hard for me to guess what your purpose is?"

  Gong Zijun's face turned pale, she flicked her long hair and raised her chin disdainfully at Hao Lianmeng. "Hao Lianmeng, don't be shameless! I'm talking to you today only because you're one of Sheng's most capable subordinates. To put it bluntly, you're just a dog who would die for Sheng. In the future, I'll be the wife of your young master, and if you dare not follow my orders today, I will definitely deal with you properly!" Gong Zijun glared at Hao Lianmeng with an air of superiority and disdain in her eyes.

  Hao Lian's tall figure still stood upright, unaffected by her words. His gaze at her seemed to hold a hint of ridicule.

  Young master's wife? Is this woman too arrogant? She is just a pawn in the young master's hands, yet she dares to aspire to be the mistress? However, the young master still has use for her, so it's not worth starting a conflict with her. As for her, Hao Lianmeng glanced at Qian Lixia, since she was destined to die, how Gongzi Ji planned to deal with her was no longer his concern.

  With a movement of his body, Hao Lianyu quickly ran up the stairs like the wind. "Since that's the case, please go ahead, but don't forget, I want her to never see tomorrow's sunrise again!"

  Gong Ziji and several bodyguards stared at him in shock, unable to speak. It wasn't until Hao Lianpeng's figure disappeared from the staircase that everyone was able to break free from the icy suffocating atmosphere.

  Senka Katsuragi, still lying on the ground in the same position as when she fainted earlier, was completely unaware of the sharp long fingernails scratching her cheek and then pinching into her tender skin.

  Looking at her relaxed expression, Gongzi Ji withdrew his hand and stood up, his fierce eyes cutting through her skin like a knife edge. "Tie her up and then splash water on her to wake her up."

  "I'd like to see what kind of seductive skills this little girl has!"

  The sky outside the window gradually sinks into the darkness of night, and the rain continues to fall, with no one in sight for miles around.

  Senri Natsuya's hands and feet were all tied up with rough hemp rope, and then she was casually thrown to the ground by several bodyguards.

  There was only one old-fashioned yellowish light bulb on the ceiling, illuminating this dimly lit space.

  Miya Kojima sat on the only intact wooden chair in the room, fiddling with her long black fingernails as she crossed her legs and looked down at Chihiro Amakusa lying unconscious on the floor. She glanced sideways at the guards standing beside her, who were trembling with fear, "What are you still doing? Pour water on her to wake her up!!"

  "Yes, yes," several bodyguards echoed tremulously.

  "Gushing down...", a full bucket of cold water poured down from above, her already drenched body became even more soaked.

  "Cold……," Qian Lian Xia shivered her lips, desperately trying to hug herself, but was stopped by a force. Her eyelids flipped open, and she slowly woke up to the icy impact.

  The entrance was a dim orange glow on the ceiling and a severely peeled paint sky, with cobwebs tangled in every corner she could see.

  Her heart skipped a beat, and she hastily lowered her head to look at herself. Indeed, her wrists and ankles had been tightly bound by ropes. She tried to struggle with her wrists, but they didn't budge.

  Gong Zijun looked at her drenched and panicked appearance, feeling great, "I advise you to give up, this rope, you can't untie it."

  She only then saw the woman sitting in front of her, with a goose-egg face and big watery eyes, but the sarcastic smile on her face was extremely incongruous.

  Her red lips trembled as a drop of water fell, Qian Lian Xia struggled to suppress the doubts in her heart and calmly asked: "Who are you? And where is the man who kidnapped me?"

  "Oh, you're talking about Hao Liankuo?" Gong Ziji snorted, and when she saw her peerless beautiful face exposed due to her black hair being wet through, she felt even more jealous.

  She lowered her head slightly, raised an eyebrow with one hand, and looked at him shortsightedly, "He just brought you here because he listened to my orders."

  Her two fingers pinched her chin, looking left and right, Qian Lian Xia's hands and feet were all tied up, unable to move. She could only stare at the woman in front of her with angry eyes.

  Gong Zizi looked at her resentful expression, with even more disdain in her eyes, as if she couldn't wait to bite her to pieces. "I really don't understand, with a face as ordinary as yours, what exactly did you use to entice him?"

  "Slap——" A palm heavily slapped onto one side of Chihiro's face, causing her to turn her head sideways.

  Gong Zijun still didn't let up, the hand that had been raised high again pinched her chin bone, making her grit her teeth in pain. "You slut, how did you seduce Song, what did you do to seduce him? Tell me, tell me?"

  Kyoko's beautiful face twisted in a grotesque grimace, and if looks could kill, Senri would have been dead several thousand times over by now.

  Five fingerprints were left on her cheek, Qian Lixia's painful voice was still echoing, but she couldn't help staring at the woman in front of her with hatred, hooking her lips into a cold smile. "I don't know who you're talking about, and I don't even know what thing you're referring to."

  As soon as the words left her mouth, an eerie and endless atmosphere of eeriness gradually wrapped around Senri's body. Miyako let go of her chin with a look of disgust, stood up, and looked down at her with a smile on her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "You still dare to be stubborn, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson properly, you won't say anything, huh?"

  My jaw still hurts and my face is even more scorching hot, but Senri doesn't forget to explain, "I really don't know who you're talking about, Shou?"

  Gong Zijun looked at her, the smile on her lips grew brighter and more radiant, but her cold and sinister demeanor made Qian Lixia's heart feel a chill.

  "What if he knew you're no longer a virgin?"
