Chapter 408: 217: Gui Qinshao Overthrow!

"Next, we move on to tonight’s second game," Suo Lun said. "From now on, you’d better answer whatever I ask you, or you will experience unprecedented pain."

Suo Lun’s first act was to make her stand on one leg like a golden rooster.

Now, Gui Qinshao’s hands were already tied behind her back, hanging in the air.

Next, Suo Lun tied up her other leg as well and hoisted it into the air, her legs instantly forming a straight line.

And the most painful aspect was that Gui Qinshao could only stand on one foot now.

It was a humiliation and pain beyond compare.

Within just a moment, Gui Qinshao’s entire body was sweating profusely, all her muscles trembling.

Suddenly, Suo Lun yanked on the rope and she was left touching the ground with only one toe, carrying half her body’s weight.

"Ah..."

Moreover, she couldn’t make a sound, the immense pain unable to be released, and tears streamed down her face after only a moment.

"Next, I will release the restraint on your mouth’s nerves, allowing you to speak," Suo Lun said. "But... as soon as you make a sound loud enough for people outside to hear, my knife coated with Erosive Bone Liquid will immediately slash across your cheek and ruin your appearance."

This was undoubtedly the greatest threat to Gui Qinshao.

Then, Zhi Yan released some of the restraints on Gui Qinshao, enabling her to speak.

Suo Lun asked, "Tell me, how many troops and ships are attacking Tianshui City this time, and when will the attack occur?"

"Ptooey..." The reply Gui Qinshao spat out was a mouthful of saliva, landing directly on Suo Lun’s face.

"Dream on if you think I’d betray my father," Gui Qinshao said coldly.

And what was eerie was that her beautiful eyes were filled with pain and humiliation, but there was also another kind of bizarre gleam.

Suo Lun took out a whip, dampened it with water, and with a fierce motion, lashed it across Gui Qinshao’s delicate skin.

"Slap..."

It was a specially made whip, so the sound wasn’t loud, but it was very painful...

Gui Qinshao shuddered with pain, her body jerking violently, tears gushing forth.

"Tell me, how many troops and ships are attacking Tianshui City, and when will it be attacked?" Suo Lun asked again.

"Ptooey..."

The reply to Suo Lun was another mouthful of saliva.

"Slap, slap, slap, slap..."

Suo Lun continued to whip, pain distorting Gui Qinshao’s face almost to the point of bleeding from biting her teeth.

But strangely, she did not scream at all, enduring the torture in silence.

After a dozen or so lashes, Gui Qinshao’s delicate body was covered in wounds.

"Tell me, how many troops and ships are attacking Tianshui City, and when will it happen?"

Gui Qinshao’s response to Suo Lun was saliva mixed with blood.

Because she had bitten her gums until they bled.

This... this was unreasonable.

When had the pampered Gui Qinshao become Qiu Jin, who would rather die than submit?

How could she still refuse to confess under such severe torture?

...

However, this was just the beginning.

Next, Gui Qinshao’s performance completely overturned Suo Lun’s understanding.

No matter if it was whipping or scalding wax, she couldn’t make her speak; the response to Suo Lun was always her saliva.

And most crucially, the gleam in her beautiful eyes became more and more crazed, as if flames were burning fiercely.

Suo Lun was completely certain that she possessed a high tolerance for masochism.

In the end, Suo Lun had used every method on Gui Qinshao.

Yet she still did not confess.

Eventually, she even looked at Suo Lun with provocation in her eyes.

"Gui Qinshao, you’re forcing my hand," Suo Lun said coldly.

"Come on then, use whatever means you have," Gui Qinshao said through clenched teeth.

Suo Lun took out a box and opened it to look inside.

Inside were colorful caterpillars, each one venomous.

Of course, the poison wasn’t lethal, but it would cause the skin to swell and burn painfully.

When he was tormenting Turing Duo, there had been only one caterpillar.

But now, the box Suo Lun had contained at least dozens.

After seeing this, Gui Qinshao’s complexion changed drastically, a true look of fear in her eyes for the first time, her beautiful face instantly drained of color.

"Suo Lun, you dare?" Gui Qinshao was about to scream outright.

But at the first sign, her mouth was stuffed with a cloth gag, silencing any sound.

"If you’re willing to confess, just nod your head, and I’ll take out the cloth in your mouth," Suo Lun said.

Then, Suo Lun picked up a poisonous caterpillar, intending to place it on Gui Qinshao’s chest, gradually moving it inch by inch.

"Mmm, mmm..." From Gui Qinshao’s mouth came muffled screams full of terror, but she kept shaking her head.

Finally, Suo Lun directly placed the first brightly colored poisonous caterpillar on her neck.

"Ah... ah..." Gui Qinshao struggled desperately, trembling fiercely, and then, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Her martial skills were not low, yet she was scared to this extent.

A bowl of cold water was thrown over her, and Gui Qinshao once again woke up faintly.

Suo Lun asked, "How many troops will attack Tianshui City, how many ships, and when?"

Gui Qinshao’s face was covered in tears, but she still shook her head desperately.

Still so terrified, yet not speaking?

Suo Lun then placed the entire box of caterpillars in front of her and said, "If you don’t confess now, I’ll pour all these bugs on you, okay?"

"Wuu wuu wuu..." Gui Qinshao shook her head desperately, tears streaming out, her beautiful eyes filled with absolute plea.

"How many troops will attack Tianshui City, how many ships, and when?"

Gui Qinshao continued to shake her head desperately.

Suo Lun poured all the poisonous caterpillars toward her body.

Instantly, Gui Qinshao was terrified to the extreme, her eyes rolling back, as she fainted completely once again.

Of course, before she fainted, Suo Lun withdrew his hand and didn’t drop the bugs onto her.

Because after she fainted, she wouldn’t feel fear anymore.

At this moment, Suo Lun truly saw Gui Qinshao in a new light. He absolutely couldn’t imagine that she hadn’t confessed earlier because of a masochistic gene.

But now, even though she was clearly terrified to the extreme, she still hadn’t confessed, which was very surprising to him indeed.

...

Once again, they awoke Gui Qinshao with cold water.

She immediately looked at her body, saw no caterpillars, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

However, right after that, her soul seemed to scatter from her body.

Because Suo Lun placed a knife soaked in Erosive Bone Liquid in front of her, gesturing it towards her exquisitely beautiful face.

"Gui Qinshao, I know that what you cherish most in this world is your beautiful face, even more than your life," Suo Lun said.

Of course, that was the case. Gui Qinshao would rather have a shorter lifespan of several decades than suffer any damage to her beautiful face.

"This is Erosive Bone Liquid, and it contains a terrible poison," Suo Lun said. "When I cut open your face with this dagger, your flesh will melt and distort. Your beautiful face will not only be ruined; you will become uglier than any woman in the world, even uglier than ghouls or demons. Any man who sees you would have nightmares, right?"

At this moment, Gui Qinshao’s fear reached its zenith.

Her beautiful face was her lifeline, more important than anything else.

If her face were to be damaged, then what would be the point of living in this world?

She shook her head desperately, her eyes filled with immense begging.

"Tell me, how many troops will attack Tianshui City, how many ships, and when?" Suo Lun asked.

This time, Gui Qinshao didn’t shake her head but simply stared back at him with wide eyes.

Suo Lun removed the cloth from her mouth.

Gui Qinshao cried out, "Suo Lun, I’m the most selfish woman in the world. I value my beauty above everything else, even my life."

Suo Lun nodded.

Gui Qinshao continued, "I always thought there was nothing in the world that could make me sacrifice even a tiny bit of my interests. Just because I didn’t like Turing Duo, I would harm her. Just because Zhi Yan was more beautiful than me, I wanted to use any means to kill her, to disfigure her. I always thought nothing could compare to my life, my beauty, but..."

Tears streamed down Gui Qinshao’s face.

"However, I now realize that there is something in this world that surpasses my life and my appearance, and that is... my father and mother," Gui Qinshao shook her head. "You can do whatever you want to me, violate me ten times, a hundred times. Of course, you can also ruin my face, make me uglier than a ghoul, but I will never betray my father."

"Of course, if you ruin my face, once I gain my freedom, I’ll kill myself immediately. If I no longer have a beautiful face, what’s the point of living?" Gui Qinshao sobbed. "I truly regret coming here now. I wanted to take revenge on my father, on Ling Ao. I knew what would happen if I came to see you... I... I originally thought you would just violate me again, and I thought it may be a bit like... an affair."

"But I never thought it would be like this, that you would make me betray my father. I really can’t do it!"

In the end, Gui Qinshao cried inconsolably.

Suo Lun looked at her in shock; this was a Gui Qinshao he had never imagined.

He had always believed this extremely selfish woman could betray anyone for her own benefit.

However, when faced with her own parents, she would rather have her face damaged, rather die, than betray her father.

And today, her father Gui Xingfu had even slapped her harshly, making her feel betrayed by the whole world.

She still cherished the most important things in her life.

All of a sudden, Suo Lun felt as if he was meeting Gui Qinshao for the first time.

And just at that moment, Suo Lun suddenly heard Turing Duo’s voice in his ear; only he and Zhen Yan Princess could hear it.

"Suo Lun, you want to know how many troops, how many ships, and when will they attack Tianshui City, right? I can tell you," Turing Duo said coldly. "But I have a condition."

Note: The first update of today is here. I have to catch a flight in a few hours, a flight of 7 hours. The second update will be published automatically at 10 p.m. I was completely sleepless last night, and even today, I’m still grinding through these two updates, purely fuelled by coffee. I beg for your support and for your monthly tickets.
