Seeing the two menâs faces changing dramatically, Yang Zhen knew that things had proceeded quite far.
Guo Jing had a gloomy look on his face, his eyes shifting slightly. He fixed a stern gaze on Yang Zhen and said,
âWhoâs behind all this, I donât know what youâre talking about. Does Feng Junior Sisterâs death have nothing to do with you? I see, even at a time like this, youâre trying to deflect blame, what exactly is your intention?â
Hearing this, Feng Jingtu hesitated, looking at Yang Zhen and then back at Guo Jing. He was about to speak when Yang Zhen shook his head and sighed, âWhat a pity!â
âWhatâs a pity?â Guo Jingâs expression changed as he fixated his gaze on Yang Zhen, asking unconsciously.
You really canât understand it, can you?
Yang Zhen muttered to himself, patted Guo Jingâs shoulder, and expressed his amazement, âHere you are, risking everything for someone who hasnât even told you the truth. Itâs pitiful. If I were you, I would have killed myself long ago to stop wasting the Heaven and Earth True Essence. No, even in death youâd waste the land, and even if we set you on fire, youâd pollute the air.â
âWhat?â Guo Jing was startled, grinding his teeth he said, âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
âThe truth?â Feng Jingtu furrowed his brows and looked at Yang Zhen, asking, âWhat truth? Is there a hidden detail? Please, Yang, enlighten us.â
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled. The Dragon City Guard and others watched Yang Zhen with uncertainty, while curiosity ignited in the othersâ eyes.
They were all in suspense, waiting for Yang Zhen to reveal the so-called truth.
However, Yang Zhen ignored the eager gazes around him, even the words of Feng Jingtu. He turned to his cat and said, âOh dear, this bastard is pretty tough. What do we do if he wonât spill?â
The catâs eyes sparkled with excitement, âHow about we use torture to make him talk, use all the brutal methods youâve told me about. Iâm really curious now about the effectiveness of your villageâs torture methods.â
âAh, that does sound like a good idea. Itâs about time this Sao Saint tried out those methods.â
Listening to their conversation, everyone was in shock. Guo Jing was stupefied and then roared with laughter. He looked at Yang Zhen disdainfully and said, âYou think Iâd be afraid of your methods?â
âNo, of course notâ¦â
Yang Zhen shook his head, giving an answer that left everyone puzzled. They were all wondering what Yang Zhen was planning to do.
âThis is just a joke, is Yang Zhen trying to buy time or just wasting it?â
âExactly! Itâs ludicrous to think ordinary torture could work on a Practitioner. Judging from what I see, this famed Yang Zhen is nothing special.â
âTorture Guo Jing? Itâs wishful thinking. With Guo Jingâs resilience, normal torture would be of no use.â
âYang Zhen, youâd better give up this futile effort.â
Guo Jing sneered and watched Yang Zhen with an expression of defiance. It was clear that he had lost all hope of escape. Extracting the truth from him, however, seemed impossible.
Feng Jingtu looked at Yang Zhen quizzically and said softly, âWhile I donât know what truth Yang is referring to, or who this person is behind Guo Jing, knowing Guo Jingâs character, if he doesnât want to talk, nobody can make him. Perhaps Brother Yang should consider sharing the actual facts first, and then we can verify them.â
Hearing Feng Jingtuâs suggestion, everyone nodded in agreement. This seemed to be the best, albeit reluctant, solution.
All eyes involuntarily fell on Yang Zhen, waiting for him to reveal the truth of the matter.
Yang Zhen took a quick glimpse at everyone. Reveal the truth?
What a joke! That was simply impossible. If he was to reveal the truth, how would he have the Feng Family fight desperately?
Yang Zhen shook his head. Looking at the wretched cat, he said with a difficult expression, âConsidering how kind-hearted this Sao Saint here is, wretched cat, how about we give him the ant-moving-house treatment, or perhaps the mouse-chewing-on-mushroom treatment, to get him to willingly spill the beans?â
The wretched catâs eyes gleamed wickedly, and also projecting an expression of difficulty, shook its head and said, âKid, youâre putting this choice disorder patient in a tough position. Ant-moving-houseâif we use honey, Northern Island Sky Snow Honey is the best. Oh, this honey is collected from Snow Mountain Ice Lotus, absolutely precious. As for the antsâ¦we can barely use Black Marsh Gold Eating Ants. They just gobble up the gold, and they are cruel by nature, very suitable for this ant-moving-house.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing this, everyone felt a sudden chill, although they didnât quite understand what Yang Zhen and the wretched cat meant. But when thinking of combining Sky Snow Honey and Gold Eating Ants, it gave them a creepy feeling.
Guo Jingâs face was gloomy, changing colors one after another. When he saw Yang Zhen look at him, he immediately snorted coldly and turned his head away, suggesting that he didnât understand what Yang Zhen was talking about.
Yang Zhen sighed, patted the wretched catâs shoulder, and spoke, âBrother, this idea is too good. However, Iâm a bit worried. If we smear the Sky Snow Honey on Brother Guoâs body evenly, considering the eating speed of Gold Eating Ants, how long would it take them to eat a thin layer of his skin?â
Upon hearing this, everyoneâs eyes widened suddenly and they gasped collectively. Their gazes at Yang Zhen were filled with a creepy feeling.
God damn it, was Yang Zhen really a devil? He even thought of such a cruel method, didnât he fear divine punishment?
My God, just thinking about it sent shivers down their spines. If these Gold Eating Ants saw Guo Jing, covered in Sky Snow Honey, wouldnât they go crazy?
The crowd stammered as they looked at Guo Jing. Sure enough, Guo Jingâs face also began to change drastically, and he struggled madly to stand up and flee.
Flee, he must flee. Yang Zhen, this bastard, was a real devil. Compared to this ant-moving-house, things Yang Zhen had done before merely seemed like childâs play.
For some reason, imagining the consequences, Guo Jing felt a sudden itch all over his body and couldnât help but want to scratch it.
Especially when the blood-soaked Guo Jing saw the blood-covered Young Master Feng, who looked excited, he instantly howled hysterically, âYang Zhen, you devil, you bastard, if you dare to implement antâ¦ant-moving-house, Guo will haunt you even as a vengeful ghost!â
Hearing Guo Jingâs hysterical yell, people were all taken aback. Obviously, Guo Jing was scared shitless.
Yang Zhen, however, shook his head and said, âNah, ant-moving-house is too much trouble, having to smear the whole body. And besides, what if these Gold Eating Ants are out of control? Brother Guo would be instantaneously gnawed to the bones.â
Hearing this, Guo Jing quivered from head to toe. He looked at Yang Zhen with a stunned expression, feeling as if he had just been transported from hell to heaven.
But then came Yang Zhenâs sudden change of tone as he turned to the wretched cat, âWhat about the rat-chews-mushroom option?â
Rat-chews-mushroom?
What the heck was ârat-chews-mushroomâ?
Everyone was taken aback. Although they did not understand Yang Zhenâs words, they figured it wouldnât be any less cruel than the ant-moving-house method. They were quite certain that rat-chews-mushroom was also no good thing.
Hearing about rat-chew-mushrooms, Guo Jingâs face completely changed. Especially when he saw the wretched catâs gaze on his unspeakable area between the legs, he began to shudder all over.
âNo!â
Guo Jing screamed, âYou â¦.you just cannot do this.â
