Chapter 55
Chapter 55 . 1
In the gloomy room, only the fire from the corner was crackling, projecting her shadow on the stone wall behind, illuminating the shape of a big “X” .
Her hands and feet were all pulled by heavy mysterious iron chains . Her wrists and ankles weren’t fixated by handcuffs but with nails, as thick as thumbs, which were pierced directly in her bones .
All her limbs were painful, and even if she didn’t move, the weight of her body made her wrists unbearable .
The joints had swelled a lot, and the wound around the nails was black and ulcerated . It made people unbearable to look closely .
The hanging person seemed to have passed away at this time, with no breath . But the person opposite her knew, that within a short while, this woman would wake up again .
Her vitality was always surprisingly strong .
“Cough…cough! Cough!” As he was thinking this, the woman opposite suddenly coughed violently, as if she was about to cough up her internal organs .
Her voice alarmed the guards outside and only heard a few yells: “Hey, Azure King is awake again . Go and tell the lord to come . ”
“It’s your turn to go, the lord’s resurrection took longer than ever . During the past two days, his body was upset and his temper was bad . I went there twice, and I almost lose my head last time . It’s your turn to report this time . ”
“Tsk! Okay, okay, guard the door closely . ”
The outside quieted down .
The person inside looked at the woman across from the two iron fences, and muttered:
“Why I have to be here? She fights and fights every day, as if she doesn’t even feel pain, I hate it, it makes me sick . ”
“Knowing that the people who trapped me are not happy, I feel relieved . ” The other party said this in a faint voice, causing Bei Xiaoyan’s mouth to twitch, and say dissatisfied:
“Azure King Shen Li, today you are not deaf, and your voice is good, OK? It’s rare for a day to have such a beautiful beginning . Can’t you talk a little louder?”
Shen Li hung her head and sneered: “This kind of ghost place, no day will be beautiful, so every day I hope I will lose my senses”
Bei Xiaoyan bent over and spied Shen Li’s eyes that were blocked by her hanging hair, and said:
“Well, I can’t see your eyes today . How about smell and touch? As long as the sense of touch is not there, you can survive today . ”
“I have to count my blessings, today my five senses have been restored by a third, and it turns out that touch is in that percentage . ”
Bei Xiaoyan shivered, he crotched to the corner and shrank:
“Then you have to hold back, I don’t want to hear your screams while I see flesh and blood flying across the room . It will scare me to death . ”
Shen Li bent her lips and didn’t speak anymore .
She didn’t know how long it had been since the first battle at sea that day, she only faintly heard from Bei Xiaoyan’s mouth that it was about three months away now . In March .
It would be okay if it was in the human world, but if a whole month passed in heaven or the demon world… she was afraid, what happened in this month outside?
The people in the Demon Realm just think that she is dead, and she doesn’t know how the Demon Lord’s injuries have recovered, or whether the order of the city was restored to normal
Puya and the Parrot will be sad when they know that she has been killed in battle… And in the Outer Sky, that High God… would he be indifferent as always?
Suddenly a sordid desire was formed in her head . She wanted to take a look at his expression, she wanted to see the look on Xing Zhi’s face when he heard she disappeared, but now, she could only think about it .
There are too many burdens on Xing Zhi, he can’t lose that indifferent face, even if the entire world were sad, he can’t be moved . This is the attitude that a god should have .
Shen Li calmed down, putting aside her mixed thoughts .
She didn’t know when she was imprisoned there . The flames of that day were the last scene she remembered .
When she woke up again, she had been arrested, and her body seemed to be quite different from before . Her body seemed empty, no matter how she wanted to mobilize her mana, there was no breath . Just like a mortal who has never practiced, but her skin and flesh are much stronger than before, and the temperature was always extremely hot, burning .
Although she couldn’t feel it herself, Bei Xiaoyan threw a few pieces of mud from the ground at her, but everything that touched her body was directly roasted and scattered into gravel .
Therefore, the extremely cold mysterious iron was used to lock her, and only this thing was suppressing the burning qi in her body .
Even if Shen Li wanted to escape from this place . She couldn’t rely on her strong and hot skin . Without magic power, she couldn’t do anything .
Even more troublesome than her lack of powers, were her five senses, sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste, and vocal cords .
Every day, she has several senses that disappear inexplicably .
Sometimes she couldn’t see, others, she couldn’t hear . Or like now, two senses disappeared, three senses appeared, and they changed every day, which made her feel annoyed .
But considering that she couldn’t even move, her five senses were not as important as usual to her . After the first few days, Shen Li got used to it .
Sometimes when she was severely beaten in the interrogation, Shen Li even felt a little thankful that they disappeared from time to time .
The lack of pain and thick skin made her feel a lot better . Seeing that the other party tried his best to torture her, but she didn’t feel anything . She only despised him with cold eyes .
Every time she thought of such a scene, she felt an inevitable sense of superiority in her heart .
Chapter 55 . 2
Shen Li was thinking about this when she heard a “Kara” sound .
Suddenly, the man in black led the man in a green robe into the dungeon slowly .
A flame was imprinted on the person’s face, and the light and shadow intertwined on it, making his burned wrinkled skin look even more frightening and disgusting .
However, today’s Shen Li doesn’t have to face this terrible face .
“How is the King today?” His hoarse voice pierced Shen Li’s eardrums, but Shen Li just sneered and ignored him .
It was Fu Sheng . The person who tortured her these days was also the person who arrested her .
After experiencing that kind of roasting, Shen Li survived, after all, she was a phoenix, a talented one, she wasn’t afraid of fire .
But she couldn’t believe that this guy also survived .
Shen Li even wondered if everything that day was a dream made up by herself .
She wondered if was all her imagination, that the spy who betrayed the demon world was Mo Fang, that she fought Fu Sheng at sea, and that she burned herself on the sea .
However, after a few days trapped there, when she’d occasionally recovered her hearing, she heard the small chats of the guards outside the door and some whispers from Bei Xiaoyans mouth .
So Shen Li knew that everything was real, and she really burned . Mo Fang is a real spy, and Fu Sheng is a real…immortal .
He actually possesses the power of resurrection, so he can resurrect himself over and over again without hurting the vital points .
Only then did Shen Li know that his name, Fu Sheng actually meant “resurrection” .
Really a difficult guy, but fortunately, She burned him, and now he was like a ghost of what he used to be .
His mana is not as good as before . Almost all of those creatures were burned clean by her, and even Mo Fang was burned by her . They had to give up their plans for now and could be said to have suffered heavy losses .
They couldn’t even go out and do evil for the time being . At least, this would give the Demon Realm a little time to recuperate .
With this extra time, they could take advantage to establish a deeper connection with the Heavenly army, even if the Heavenly soldiers are no longer useful, no matter what, the demon soldiers could steal their heavenly magical weapons and use them, and their combat power could be increased by at least ten times . If only she could go back…
A trace of pain came from her wrists and ankles, interrupting Shen Li’s conception .
Even if Shen Li could bear it no matter how much pain she felt, at this time, she frowned due to the pain . The mysterious iron chain pulling Shen Li’s wrists and ankles was struck loudly, and the iron nails that penetrated her bones trembled .
Such small vibrations are more nerve-wracking than large-scale shaking, it was itchy and impossible . Scratching, and the pain couldn’t be relieved .
If she could go back…Shen Li gritted her teeth, enduring the itch and pain .
She could only say this in her heart, but she knew, that she would never go back . Her only hope was that Fu Sheng would hurt her a little harder day by day so that she would die soon . This way, she could get rid of the pain .
Then someone took a strong light that was shining in front of Shen Li’s eyes, and someone used this firecracker to blast in Shen Li’s ears . The sound of the explosion made Shen Li subconsciously tilt her head .
Fu Sheng grinned coarsely: “I wanted to come back today . I heard that your hearing and touch were restored . Your voice should also be good . Then, Azure King still does not plan to hand over the Phoenix Fire Orb today?”
This question again…
Although Shen Li hated this person so much and didn’t want to answer, she really felt helpless about this issue: “I ate it . ” She said .
She knew that the Phoenix Fire Orb mentioned by these people’s mouth was the “Blue Sea Blue Bead” that the Demon Lord gave her .
But according to the Demon Lord, it was born with her, and she also ate it according to what the Demon Lord said .
But Fu Sheng now asked her to surrender the bead that had been digested for a long time… Shen Li smiled and mocked: “You come and take . ”
As soon as Fu Sheng gritted his teeth, he raised his hand to slap Shen Li . However, the hands in his robe were still covered with traces of being burned . He forcibly resisted his anger,
“Since Azure King refuses to cooperate, she will suffer more of the bitterness of flesh and blood . ”
After he said that, he raised his hand, and the attendant next to him
proposed the mysterious iron whip he had prepared .
Fu Sheng covered his mouth and coughed twice and stepped aside, and then was nothing more than a flogging .
Shen Li held her head down, Bei Xiaoyan in the cage opposite was paler than Shen Li . Seeing her like this, he seemed to see himself like this .
He shrank in the corner, trying not to attract the attention of outsiders . But when Fu Sheng turned his head, he still saw him curled up in the corner .
“Don’t be afraid . You cooperate with us in this way, knowing that you can say nothing, and we will not treat the third prince badly . ”
Bei Xiaoyan nodded . He was so scared that he did not dare to take a breath .
The flogging continued until Fu Sheng was tired . He waved his hand and left the dungeon first, the attendants followed . The cell door was locked, and only the torch was left, he and Shen Li .
Seeing Shen Li covered in blood, Bei Xiaoyan was a little bit afraid to speak . The cell was quiet for a long time . Instead,
Shen Li first asked: ” You told them all the information of Beihai, they seized the royal power of Beihai and turned the Beihai clan into a puppet, yet, the third prince has no guilt?”
“I…” Bei Xiaoyan said with a shiver, “I naturally feel guilty… but I can’t help it, I’m not you, I can’t bear such pain, and my concubine mother is guilty .
I have been discriminated against by others since I was a child . The Beihai royal family has no affection for me . I betrayed them… but it was also a helpless act . ”
Shen Li said hoarsely, “Everyone has hardships, but it is still a betrayal . It is hard to be forgiven . ”
Bei Xiaoyan said silently .
“If it is the world or themselves, people would still choose themselves… you…why you have to be tough with them, it’s already like this, you can just give him whatever he wants . ”
Shen Li’s body was hanged on two iron chains, even in this situation, she laughed: “I really ate it… I’m not lying . ”
Bei Xiaoyan looked at her like she was a monster .
Shen Li only said: “The third prince need not worry, this king is invincible …”
Bei Xiaoyan lowered his head and muttered: “I really don’t understand you, You can still laugh in this situation . ”
Of course, she can laugh, she has been trained .
After sitting down for an unknown period of time, Bei Xiaoyan gradually became sleepy and sank into his dreams .
After hearing a few crisp sounds, Bei Xiaoyan was startled, he opened his eyes and saw a man in black standing in front of Shen Li .
He clenched his fists, raised and lowered his hands in Shen Li’s ears, as if he wanted to touch her but didn’t dare to touch:
“My King…” He called out sadly, extremely hoarse . With a purple sword in his hand, he cut off the profound iron that trapped Shen Li’s limbs, and hugged the unconscious Shen Li into his arms, “I will take you out . ” These five words were dumb but resolute, and no one could refute them .
