Chapter 326: 326 Humbled

326 Humbled

At this moment, in the prison of the Homicide Department, Xu Qing was studying a Night Dove cultivator. He carefully checked why the poisonous herbs from before had caused the color of the little black bugs to darken again.

“If I find the reason, can I use opposite medicinal effects to increase the tenacity of the little black bugs?” Xu Qing pondered.

Miserable cries continued to echo in the prison but it didn’t affect Xu Qing’s persistence in learning. Just like that, the time it took for an incense stick to burn passed. Xu Qing casually extracted the soul of the Night Dove cultivator who was about to die. A look of contemplation appeared in his eyes but very soon, he frowned and looked at the prison gate.

The gate was pushed open a crack and a beautiful and shy young girl slipped into the prison.

The young girl was about 16 or 17 years old. She wore green clothes and her smile was bright like a flower. Her slender hands were as fair as jade and there was a small octopus wrapped around her right hand.

She was Yanyan.

The little octopus was staring at Xu Qing hostilely but it seemed to be helpless. It could only retract its gaze and pretend not to see him.

“Brother Xu Qing.” Yanyan called out happily and quickly walked to Xu Qing’s side. Her eyes lit up when she saw the cut corpse at the side.

“Brother Xu Qing, I won’t disturb you. I’ll just watch from the side.”

Xu Qing frowned and was about to refuse.

“Brother Xu Qing, I just caught a criminal. I want to learn from you or we can play together.”

Seeing that Xu Qing was about to refuse, Yanyan hurriedly spoke. With a wave of her hand, the little octopus spat out a bubble. This bubble rapidly expanded and finally shattered after landing at the side, revealing Huang Yikun’s figure.

As Huang Yikun appeared, the densely-packed little black bugs that Xu Qing had nurtured silently spread over. It was as though they would invade his body at Xu Qing’s command.

Xu Qing’s gaze landed on Huang Yikun. He recognized him and saw the injuries on his body.

He also saw that the latter only had the thumb and pinky left of his five resplendent fingers on his right hand. The three fingers in the middle were gone.

Xu Qing’s expression was strange but he soon sensed that the little black bugs outside Huang Yikun’s body were acting strangely. A strange glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Huang Yikun’s hair.

As for Huang Yikun, when he woke up from the fall, his eyes were still a little dazed at first. However, at the next instant, he saw his surroundings clearly and also saw Xu Qing.

Huang Yikun fell silent.

He thought of the words he had said to the other party a few days ago and his experiences tonight. At this moment, he felt an indescribably complicated feeling. He wanted to struggle and escape, but his body was bound and he couldn’t break free.

“You went to challenge the Seventh Peak?” Xu Qing spoke.

Huang Yikun’s body trembled. He didn’t want to speak but at the next instant, he saw blood all over the ground and a large number of corpses who had died miserably at the side.

This scene instantly caused his fragile state of mind, which had experienced a night of torture, to surge with waves. The gaze he used to look at Xu Qing and Yanyan revealed horror.

This was especially so when Yanyan spoke again.

“Brother Xu Qing, this person is really bad. He landed from the air and looked like he wanted to launch a sneak attack on me. Oh right, let’s not talk about him. Brother Xu Qing, you didn’t come look for me in the main prison, I was so bored alone and looked forward to you coming to play every day. Also, I’ve been studying some gameplay recently.”

She waved her hand and a large number of pill bottles immediately appeared in front of her. They were filled with poison and there was also a very large shelf that landed on the ground loudly.

There were all kinds of knives on this shelf. There were curved, long, short, spiral, and other bizarre shaped ones. There were dozens of them. There were also iron chains, hooks, drills, and saws.

Xu Qing’s gaze swept over.

“Brother Xu Qing, look, I’m already prepared. Should we poison him first or open him up and take out his magic apertures to see what they look like? Also, how can we make him sound better? Just like hundreds of people before.”

Yanyan’s voice was sweet and clear, making one feel quite comfortable. However, the content of her words was the complete opposite.

Her clear and bright pupils, curved willow brows, and long eyelashes that trembled slightly. It was as though she was extremely happy when she said this.

This scene frightened Huang Yikun so much that his heart seemed to skip a beat. He looked at the knives, at Yanyan, and at Xu Qing, who seemed to be in deep thought. He felt that this place was hell on earth.

“Brother Xu Qing, what do you think of my thoughts?” As Yanyan spoke, she picked up one knife after another, seemingly searching for something suitable.

“Brother Xu Qing, where should we start from? Should we cut his tongue first? I think this might make his voice sound better.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Yikun’s entire body trembled violently despite being restrained. The fear in his eyes had reached the extreme and revealed despair.

He knew Yanyan and knew that the other party was a lunatic who would do anything. However, such a lunatic actually asked Xu Qing for his opinion with a fawning expression.

He felt that this place was even more terrifying than the Seventh Peak.

This was especially so when he thought of how he was swept away to this place.

“Brother Xu Qing, let’s start playing from there.” Yanyan bit her lower lip and stared at Xu Qing. Her fair and flawless skin revealed a hint of pink and her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals. Very soon, blood flowed out from her lips.

Xu Qing calmly looked at Yanyan. Although the other party’s previous actions of helping the Homicide Department were out of line, he didn’t care about that.

As for Yanyan bringing this person here today, Xu Qing felt that it was a little interesting. Huang Yikun’s injuries were clearly caused by a large sword. Moreover, there were teeth marks on the area of one of his fingers. He must have gone to challenge the Seventh Peak tonight.

He had also heard the loud noise outside earlier. Presumably, someone had thrown Huang Yikun over. There was only one explanation why this person still had two fingers left after going to the Seventh Peak.

Xu Qing had already guessed the answer.

However, it was also because he had guessed the answer that Xu Qing felt that the captain and the others of the Seventh Peak wouldn’t throw a Huang Yikun who had been poisoned to him.

There was no need.

There was poison on Huang Yikun’s hair.

Xu Qing had come into contact with a similar poison before. It was the kind of poison primer that could specifically attract certain existences.

However, the one on Huang Yikun’s body was clearly of a higher level and the characteristics of the mark were even more intense. As long as one was within 30 feet of him, they would be tainted.

Moreover, it was extremely difficult to detect. Xu Qing had only probed because of the abnormal movements of the little black bugs earlier. In a short period of time, he couldn’t accurately determine the specific effects of this poison primer. However, with his attainments in plants and vegetation, he roughly guessed that this poison primer was mainly used for monitoring.

Since that was the case, who was the one who put the poison primer on him? This Yanyan in front of him was the most suspicious.

Even though Yanyan looked like she had submitted and there were the rumors, Xu Qing felt that… this black-clothed girl who was extremely savage back then wasn’t someone who could be so easily intimidated.

Hence, Xu Qing didn’t believe Yanyan’s actions at all.

“Brother Xu Qing, why aren’t you saying anything?” More blood flowed out of Yanyan’s lower lip, adding a hint of demonic beauty to her beautiful face.

Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever. He suddenly lifted his right hand and grabbed Yanyan’s neck with great force, causing bruises to appear on her snow-white neck.

He held her in front of him and spoke word by word.

“I didn’t kill you not because you have a good grandmother but because you haven’t touched my bottom line. However, if you continue like this, you’ll touch it.”

Yanyan’s entire body trembled. Just as the octopus on her hand was about to release its aura, she quickly transmitted her divine sense.

“Shrimpy, don’t be impudent.”

As she spoke, she lowered her head forcefully and used her blood-stained tongue to lick Xu Qing’s hand.

Xu Qing frowned and threw Yanyan to the wall at the side. Yanyan crashed to the wall and fell down, more blood flowing out of her mouth. However, her gaze when she looked at Xu Qing was filled with confusion.

“This is it, this is it. Brother Xu Qing, this is what I like. You changed previously, making me feel that I don’t like you anymore. If I don’t like you anymore, I will want to kill you. Of course, I knew that you could sense it, but I really liked your actions after you sensed it.”

Huang Yikun trembled even more intensely when he saw this scene.

There was something wrong with Yanyan’s brain.

Xu Qing had already seen through this earlier. Now that he looked at the other party’s dazed gaze and the various actions, he was even more certain of this.

After casting a cold glance at Yanyan, Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the two fingers of Huang Yikun’s right hand.

Huang Yikun shivered and sorrow filled his heart. He already knew what was going to happen next.

However, the person who attacked wasn’t Xu Qing. Yanyan quickly crawled over and bent his fingers forcefully. With two cracking sounds, she broke off the two fingers and handed them to Xu Qing with a fawning expression.

Huang Yikun felt distressed. He realized that he seemed to have adapted to this action and it didn’t hurt as much as before.

Xu Qing took them and coldly glanced at Yanyan.

After being glanced at by Xu Qing, Yanyan understood what he meant and hurriedly retreated a little. She looked at Xu Qing from ten feet away and bit her finger. As blood flowed out, she trembled and lifted her finger toward Xu Qing, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

“Brother Xu Qing, can you take a bite?”

“Not interested,” Xu Qing replied coldly. He waved his right hand; immediately, Huang Yikun’s body was swept up and thrown into a cage at the side. Xu Qing also kept his storage ring.

Sima Ling wasn’t locked up here, so Huang Yikun was the only heaven’s chosen here.

Since the other party was sneaky and had violated the curfew, he naturally had to be imprisoned.

After doing this, Xu Qing continued to immerse himself in the research of the little black bugs. He wanted to let this batch of surviving little black bugs have a qualitative sublimation.

Yanyan sat there quietly like a duck and retracted her finger. As she sucked the blood, she looked at Xu Qing and a happy smile slowly appeared on her face.

However, none of them knew that at that moment, in the pavilion at the top of the Seventh Peak, Old Master Seventh’s gaze that could penetrate everything was observing all the scenes here.

He witnessed Yanyan’s actions and Xu Qing’s performance. A smile slowly appeared on his face and admiration filled his eyes.

“This fourth disciple isn’t bad. He has the demeanor of me back then.”

When the servant at the side heard this, he lowered his head and didn’t say anything. However, he muttered inwardly, thinking to himself that this master seemed to be inferior to the kid in terms of demeanor.

After all, there were many female disciples in the sect who were interested in the kid. As for Old Master Seventh… the ancestor’s daughter, who was also the Deputy Peak Lord of the Seventh Peak, had returned for a few days but she hadn’t come to see Old Master Seventh even once.

One could imagine that the conflict between these two Dao companions was extremely deep. It wasn’t something that could be resolved with demeanor.
