Chapter 204: 137: Qin Shu cleanses memory!

During these days, she didn’t know how many merchant caravans she had ambushed and robbed, storing all the goods and Gold Coins in the treasure vault, and Suo Lun’s goods were no exception.

"Little darling, you clean up first, and I’ll favor you in a bit," Xuesha hooked Suo Lun’s chin and then walked toward a mysterious cave, perhaps weakened by the poison, her voice slightly feeble.

Suo Lun looked at her wound—the arrows of Fen Mo were poisoned, so why hadn’t Xuesha died after being shot?

...

Two Samurai dragged Suo Lun into a room where hot water had already been prepared.

Then, two female Sand Bandits stripped Suo Lun bare and pressed him into the hot water to clean his body.

"Wow, what a beautiful man, the leader is going to enjoy this time."

"Yeah, just don’t know how long this man can live this time? Three days?"

"Definitely won’t last three days, our leader is a devil."

These words sent a shiver down Suo Lun’s spine.

After Suo Lun was cleaned, he was wrapped in a woolen blanket, and two female Sand Bandits carried him through numerous corridors, finally stopping in front of a room.

"My King, the male prey has been brought," the female Sand Bandit said.

"Bring him in," Xuesha’s voice came from inside.

It was strange—she was clearly poisoned, her voice feeble just a moment ago, yet now it sounded completely robust.

The golden doors were opened, and Suo Lun was carried in.

Upon entering, Suo Lun was instantly blinded by the opulence inside.

Had he entered the Dragon Temple’s treasure vault? The entire room was filled with Gold everywhere.

The bed was made of carved gold, as were the wine pots and wine cups—all of pure Gold.

Most outrageous was the thick layer of Gold Coins covering the floor of the room, creating a surface of coins no matter where one stepped.

At that moment, the enchanting Xuesha lay on the gold-carved bed, draped only in a thin veil of golden silk, looking at Suo Lun lazily and said,

"Do you know how many Gold Coins are in this room?"

Suo Lun shook his head.

"Thirteen thousand," Xuesha said.

Seeing Suo Lun glance at the wound on her shoulder, Xuesha lifted the veil, revealing a sleek and narrow shoulder.

Suo Lun was shocked to discover that the wound pierced by the dark gold arrow had disappeared, almost completely intact.

How could this be possible?

Fen Mo’s arrows were laced with potent poison, clearly piercing through Xuesha’s shoulder, yet not only did she not die from the poison, but the wound had also vanished.

"I am favored by the Serpent Spirit, no matter the severity of the injury or the ferocity of the poison, I will not die and will recover as before," Xuesha said languidly. "Otherwise, how could I become the leader of the Venomous Sand Thieves? Merely relying on martial skills wouldn’t be enough."

Immediately after, she rose from the bed, picked up an exquisite gold dagger, and placed it across Suo Lun’s neck, saying, "You’re not some Xiliang Noble; you’re an assassin sent to kill me, just like that formidable archer. Except, you’re too weak, so you resorted to using a handsome man’s ploy."

With those words, Suo Lun was taken aback. How did she know? In that instant, his life was truly in danger—it was like a lamb entering a tiger’s den.

"But I am really curious, with your level of cultivation, you’re no match even for one of my fingers, so what exactly are you relying on to kill me?" Xuesha said.

Then, she gently pulled away the blanket wrapped around Suo Lun’s body.

Xuesha caressed his face and asked, "You’ve heard, haven’t you? Every man that falls into my hands ends up being tortured to death. Do you know why?"

Suo Lun shook his head to indicate he didn’t know.

Xuesha said, "I have only one reason for killing them, because they do not bring me pleasure."

"Alas..." Xuesha sighed and said, "I am possessed by a Serpent Spirit, which is a gift from the heavens, but also a curse. The pleasure normal women can attain, I can never achieve. No matter how handsome or strong the man is, he cannot bring me pleasure. That’s why I time and again capture beautiful men and then torture them to death."

Now, Suo Lun finally understood why this Xuesha was so twisted.

"You are different from them; other beautiful men were captured by me, whereas you came to me willingly as an assassin." Xuesha placed the Gold Dagger on Suo Lun’s major artery and said, "Tell me, wouldn’t it be easy for me to kill you?"

More than easy – her martial skills were many times superior to Suo Lun’s; if she really wanted to kill him, he would stand no chance of fighting back.

"For other beautiful men, I give them three days. But for you... I’ll give you half an hour." Xuesha pointed to the hourglass beside her and said, "In half an hour, the sand in there will run out, and if you still can’t make me feel pleasure by then, my Gold Dagger will slice open your neck, and you will die as your blood drains away!"

Suo Lun’s gaze turned and immediately saw a medium-sized crystal hourglass, in which the fine Gold sand was continuously flowing down, set to run out in an hour.

A striking cobra tattoo was coiled around her entire body, making her appear especially eerie.

The room was filled with Gold everywhere, and an exotic fragrance was wafting in the air, making Suo Lun’s heartbeat quicken.

"You have half an hour, or else you die!" Xuesha closed her eyes.

...

Meanwhile, at the Dragon Temple in the City of Rage Wave, two guests had arrived.

Gui Xingfu was bringing Gui Qinshao there to cleanse away those extremely painful and shameful memories.

Mental Skill is the most mysterious and highest realm in this world, only mastered by the Spiritual Practitioners of the Dragon Temple.

The Hall of Spirit was very simple, almost empty. On the cool stone floor, there were only a few meditation cushions.

In the spacious hall, only Gui Qinshao was present, not even Gui Xingfu could enter.

She sat cross-legged on one of the cushions, which was very small.

This Hall of Spirit was truly the best place in the world.

For a long time, Gui Qinshao had the same dream every night, a dream that always included Suo Lun, whether at home or in a carriage, as soon as she fell asleep she would have this dream, hardly getting a moment’s peace.

However, once here, her chaotic heart suddenly became tranquil, and Gui Qinshao felt the sensation of restful sleep for the first time.

A moment later, an old man with white hair and beard dressed in white robes came in, sitting directly across on the cushion facing Gui Qinshao.

Gui Qinshao opened her beautiful eyes, and immediately met a pair of deep and serene eyes, as vast as the ocean and starry sky.

The white-robed elder asked softly, "My dear girl, are you sure you want to erase this segment of your memory from your mind?"
