Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Beauty Pot
Ouyang Qingming felt a chill run down his spine, trembling, he shouted loudly, "After you’re done with her, immediately break her legs, pull out her teeth, stop the bleeding, and bring her to my room. I want to play with a new beauty pot."
"No!" A few people roughly propped up Zhan Liluo who couldn’t even stand.
Zhan Liluo instantly understood what a beauty pot was—it was those women opposite her with either their hands or legs broken, stuffed into clay pots.
"No! Don’t! Please I beg you, I am the legitimate daughter of the General Mansion, let me go, I won’t say anything, I’m begging you..." Zhan Liluo broke down in tears.
Her body was already sullied, she could still live on, but if she were to be made into a beauty pot, she would probably never be found by her parents in this lifetime.
She would end up just like these women, in this dark dungeon, living a fate worse than death!
Ouyang Qingming laughed crazily like a devil, "Hahaha, Miss Liluo, didn’t you know that dealing with a devil comes with a price?"
He said with a sinister expression, "Do you think after arriving at this Young Master’s place and witnessing my secrets, I would let you leave alive?"
Zhan Liluo collapsed weakly on the ground. Was there really no one who could save her?
The Love Flower Poisonous Insect was too terrifying; during such painful moments, she thought of Li Changlong.
But Li Changlong, such a spineless person, didn’t seem like someone who could save her!
Then her mind raced and she suddenly thought of the look on Ouyang Qingming’s face as he watched Zhan Lan in the arena.
He must be interested in Zhan Lan, and since Zhan Lan had defeated and injured him, Ouyang Qingming must hate Zhan Lan intensely.
Zhan Liluo was already in hell, and she wanted to drag Zhan Lan into hell with her.
She said hysterically, "Young Master, if you spare me, I can help you, and lure Zhan Lan here. She is so beautiful, she would make such a pretty beauty pot. Please give me a chance!"
Zhan Liluo’s words fell into Ouyang Qingming’s ears, he cleaned his ear with his little finger, and looked at Zhan Liluo coldly, "There’s no need for you to make a move. The next person this Young Master will deal with, is Zhan Lan!"
He leaned down, looking at Zhan Liluo who was kneeling before him.
Ouyang Qingming’s eyes stared at her like a venomous snake, he patted Zhan Liluo’s cheek and said, "By then, seeing the two sisters placed together will be even more pleasing to the eye!"
Zhan Liluo’s makeup smeared as she ran frantically outwards but was dragged back by her hair by a man in black.
The next moment, Ouyang Qingming ordered, "Start by chopping off her legs, do it!"
"No!"
Amidst Zhan Liluo’s screams of horror, her legs were brutally chopped off by the man in black.
Zhan Liluo immediately fainted.
...
At the hour of Zi, Xiao Chen arrived outside Zhan Lan’s room, and upon hearing the signal, Zhan Lan let Xiao Chen in.
Just as they were talking, suddenly, an arrow with a letter attached shot into the wall of the room.
Xiao Chen took it, handed it to Zhan Lan, who opened the letter and said, "Xiao Chen, our informant says, tonight he heard unusual commotion from Heavenly Slaughter Sect, including the screams of women, the approximate location has been ascertained."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "That’s great, as long as we have solid evidence, we can eradicate them!"
Zhan Lan burned the letter in candle fire and said calmly, "Don’t rush, Zhan Liluo’s disappearance is related to the Heavenly Slaughter Sect. Let Zhan Xincheng and them fight amongst themselves like dogs first. In two days, when we add fuel to the flames on this matter, perhaps we won’t have to act ourselves, and the Heavenly Slaughter Sect will reach its end!"
The reason Zhan Lan hated Heavenly Slaughter Sect so much: firstly, in her past life, the second branch of Zhan Family sold Zhan Rui to the Heavenly Slaughter Sect, where the young girl suffered torment until her death.
Secondly, Heavenly Slaughter Sect committed endless atrocities and also sought her life.
For Zhan Lan, both reasons were intolerable, and she could not allow the other party to continue living in this world!
The people of the second branch, the people of Heavenly Slaughter Sect, none could expect a good end!
The suffering Zhan Rui endured, Zhan Liluo should also taste it, doubly so!
...
Zhan Liluo did not return all night, both the people of the second branch of the General Mansion, Zhan Xinzhang, and Zhan Beicang sent out people to search for her.
The Zhang Family was also driven to madness, with Zhang Ye personally coming to Zhan Xincheng’s home.
Zhang Ye’s face was bleak as he rebuked, "Tell me, everything was fine yesterday, how did it turn into this today?"
Zhan Xincheng looked even grimmer, completely unaware that the Zhangs had administered the Love Flower Poisonous Insect to his own daughter.
Moreover, last night, Zhan Liluo had shared a room with a strange man.
First his son got into trouble, and now his daughter— he couldn’t afford to lose this face!
It must be someone targeting them.
Madam Zhang had not slept all night, her eyes swollen from crying; she leaned against the chair back, seemingly soulless.
Struggling to his feet, Zhan Xincheng said, "My father and elder brother have gone out to look for her, just wait a bit longer, I’m also going to search now!"
Preparing to leave to search for Zhan Liluo, little did he know, two people were approaching the mansion.
Madam Li scolded as she walked alongside Li Changlong, "Are you out of your mind? Did I allow you to sleep with Zhan Liluo? You’ll kneel down, accept the beating and the punishment, and apologize when the time comes, do you hear me?"
She had just gotten up early in the morning when she saw Li Changlong lingering at her doorstep, and then she heard the thunderous news.
Li Changlong had slept with Zhan Liluo!
This was completely different from what she had anticipated!
Madam Li was immensely vexed; Li Changlong was now dead set on marrying Zhan Liluo and refused to marry Zhan Lan no matter what. With everything going wrong, why was she so unlucky?
With the second branch of Zhan Family being so high and mighty, they would certainly look down on her stupid nephew.
Madam Li, panting and sickly, had come promptly, hoping to avoid waiting for them to come knocking and instead rush to the second branch of Zhan Family to apologize.
When Zhan Xincheng saw Madam Li rushing over with an unspeakably ugly fool of a young man, he passed the two and headed straight for the door.
Unexpectedly, Madam Li and the fool knelt down with a thud before him.
Madam Zhang, hearing the noise outside, thought her daughter had returned, hastily got up and ran out. Seeing Li Changlong, she slapped him across the face without hesitation.
Slap!
Li Changlong’s pudgy face quivered a few times under her slap, and he looked up, suppressing his rage, "Why would my mother-in-law strike her son-in-law?"
Madam Li didn’t dare even look up to meet the eyes of Madam Zhang and Zhan Xincheng at this moment.
When Zhan Xincheng heard this crude man call Madam Zhang his mother-in-law, he nearly lost his balance—could this be the vile youngster who took advantage of Liluo last night?
Madam Zhang pointed at Li Changlong’s nose and cursed, "You beast, get out, get out of our house!"
Madam Li awkwardly said, "Madam, Changlong was ignorant. But he will take responsibility for your eldest Miss."
Li Changlong knelt on the ground and said, "I will take responsibility. I like Liluo, and I will certainly marry her."
"Get out!" Zhan Xincheng kicked Li Changlong squarely in the chest, his shaking fists clenched. That such a piece of trash dared to covet his daughter!
Li Changlong tumbled on the ground before suddenly leaping up three feet high, shouting loudly, "I am going to marry Liluo; she has given herself to me. Alive, she is my person; dead, she belongs to our Li Family!"
Zhang Ye came out from inside the house and, seeing the ruffian-like behavior of Li Changlong, was so angered he nearly vomited blood.
Zhan Xincheng stepped forward and landed several heavy punches to Li Changlong’s stomach; instantly, Li Changlong knew fear.
He yelled, begging for mercy, "I was wrong, stop hitting me!"
Madam Li stood by, frozen in shock, as Zhan Xincheng pointed at her nose and berated, "You too, get out, get out of our house!"
Seeing Zhan Xincheng’s ferocious look, as if he was about to kill, Madam Li shuddered, dragging Li Changlong along as they scrambled away from the residence of the second branch of Zhan Family.
Zhan Xincheng was livid, his eyes bloodshot, and he said to Zhang Ye and his wife behind him, "I will go find Liluo, wait here for my news!"
He hobbled and was about to mount his horse when a servant came with a letter.
Out of breath, the servant presented the letter with both hands, "Master, this letter was just delivered, they said it’s related to the young Miss!"
