Translator: Sissy That Walk
It was almost dawn and Zhuge Rou walked in tired out, her hair totally tousled.
The exposed skin was full of bruises and red marks, every tiny bit of details looking rather shocking.
What was the most terrible was her face. Her eyes were leaden and she even lost the ability to cry.
“Mother! Mother! Please say something to me!” Hong Yulang burst out crying and hugged Zhuge Rou.
Zhuge Rou rubbed Hong Yulang’s hair and answered gently.
“Yulang, I am Okay. I will do anything for you.”
Outside the room, the old prison guard was fastening his belt and humming a tune. He strode in this direction and glanced at Hong Fang, his eyes full of provocation.
Hong Fang inhaled a deep breath and said coldly.
“You have got what you want. It is time to do what you have promised me.”
“Of course.” The old prison guard pushed a ragged young prisoner into the room and then dragged Hong Yulang out.
The young prisoner had been sentenced to death. He had a handsome face but his tongue had been ripped out. If others did not look at him carefully, they would easily mistake him for Hong Yulang.
“What are you doing? Mother! Father!”
Hong Yulang cried with panic.
“Shut up! If your mother had not promised to sleep with me several times, I would not do this trick now. You can survive now since I have promised your mother to exchange you for a condemned prisoner.” The old prison guard feared that Hong Yulang’s cry world attract the attention of other guards and slapped him in the face.
Hong Yulang was left in a daze by the slap and dared not say no anymore.
“What happened? You have promised me to save us three!” Hong Fang sensed something strange and questioned the old prison guard.
“Have you served as Master, haven’t you? How come you are as stupid as a pig? You have tried to assassinate the previous emperor and overthrow the government. The emperor did not order the beheading of your whole family since he was concerned about Marquis Yue. You want me to save all of you and I will by no means risk my life in doing that. I just want to sleep with your wife who is rather provocative and sweet. She has promised that she will satisfy me every night before the beheading as long as I save her son.” The old prison guard laughed aloud, showing all the yellow teeth. The laugh made everyone feel sick.
“Zhuge Rou, how dare you play such a trick?” Hong Fang then knew what happened.
He grabbed Zhuge Rou by the throat.
Zhuge Rou did not struggle at all, seeming to have lost all her energy. She rubbed her hair and showed her face that had once been absolutely gorgeous.
She laughed aloud and the laugh was full of sarcasm and craziness in Hong Fang’s ears.
Her eyes were full of hatred and viciousness.
“Hong Fang, you son of a bitch. I was so stupid as to fall in love with you. Ye Lingyue and her mother are right in saying that you can not even be called a man! I am your wife and have borne children for you. I have been with you for more than 10 years but you asked me to sleep with another man! Since you are merciless, I will not show any mercy to you. I am done now. If I have to die, I will perish together with you.”
She was already desperate when Hong Fang asked her to sleep with the old prison guard.
This man was by no means the right guy. She now hated him as much as how she had loved him before.
“You bitch! You want to kill me! Then I will kill you first!” Hong Fang was in a rage. He seized Zhuge Rou hard by the throat until her bones were cracking, his fingers like ten iron bars.
Hong Yulang wanted to rush in but was stopped by the old prison guard.
Zhuge Rou looked like a dying fish out of breath. When she was about to exhale her last breathe, she bit the middle part between Hong Fang’s thumb and index finger.
“Hiss.”
Hong Fang was in so much pain that he let go of Zhuge Rou abruptly. The middle part between his thumb and index finger was full of blood. It turned out that Zhuge Rou had bitten off a slice of flesh from that part.
Zhuge Rou had the flesh in her mouth, laughing with a sense of coldness. Then she chewed the flesh bit by bit before swallowing it, as if she was about to jump forward and give more bites.
Hong Fang could hardly bear the pain. He then begged to the old prison guard.
“Sir, could you please also let me out? I have served as Master and accumulated a big fortune. As long as you let me out, I am sure to give you a big sum.”
“Bah!” The old prison guard spat on Hong Fang’s face.
“You look like a man but are actually not. How shameless you are! Let me tell you the truth. The prison is full of guards these days. Even I can only take one person out. If you go out, then your son must stay behind. Who will go out and who will stay? It will be decided by your dogfight.”
Then the old prison guard squatted at the corner and began to smoke.
Hong Fang swallowed his saliva and turned around, looking at Hong Yulang in an appealing manner.
“Yulang, your mother was crazy and did something abnormal. Give me the chance! As long as I get out, I will contact my former followers and save you two.”
“Hong Fang, you asshole! Yulang, you should by no means believe his words. Follow my advice and leave the Xia City. Never come back! Don’t take revenge on Ye Lingyue since you are no match for her. Go to the Northwest City and find your grandfather. Then live in the shadow for all your life and never come back.”
After perceiving the true nature of Hong Fang, Zhuge Rou was already desperate. She had no hope of living but hoped that her son would survive.
Hong Yulang was not as talented as the little daughter Hong Mingyue. For him, taking revenge meant courting death.
Zhuge Rou only hoped that he would survive.
“You bitch! Say one more word and I will kill you!” Hong Fang was boiling with fury and kicked hard the belly of Zhuge Rou.
Zhuge Rou held Hong Fang’s feet tightly and cried out.
“Yulang, go!”
Hong Yulang was left at a loss. He looked at his parents who were wrestling with each other and felt that they were so strange.
Was he the respectable father? Was she the elegant and beautiful mother? ‘Like birds in one grove are a husband and wife, but they each fly away at the end of their life.’
“Have you made up your mind yet?” The old prison guard pushed at Hong Yulang.
“I will go! Take me away as soon as possible! I don’t want to die!” Hong Yulang’s mind was occupied by the only idea of leaving. He did not want to see them anymore.
Hong Fang could only watch Hong Yulang leaving. Then he kicked Zhuge Rou hard once again before stopping.
In the middle of the night, Zhuge Rou was again dragged out in a hurry by the old prison guard. The noises were ringing in Hong Fang’s ears. In order to infuriate Hong Fang, Zhuge Rou exclaimed from time to time: “You are terrific! You are much better than the son of a bitch Hong Fang”.
Hong Fang clenched his fists, his eyes full of fury. Suddenly, he heard something.
He was soon fully alert and looked in that direction.
