Feng Tianlan looked at the thick, white bone that she had just dug out. It was really round and smooth, just like a polished white rock. She then said indifferently, “I didn’t do anything. I am simply giving you a taste of your own medicine. I am doing what you did to me last time.”
He could call her a demon or inhuman. At the end of the day, she still had to pay him back for what he did to her.
“I… I am wrong. Just… forgive me for that… alright?” Jiang Ying was still breathing heavily while begging uncertainly. He was really afraid. He never thought that having his kneecap dug out would be so painful. He could feel his soul shivering from the agony.
Listening to his pleading, which sounded more like an order, Feng Tianlan sneered. “Not alright,” she said.
Previously he had dug out both of her kneecaps. He wanted her to stop right after digging out only a small portion of his kneecap? Wasn’t he being too optimistic?
“Demon King… Look at her… Demon… Devil…”
Si Mobai was peeling a grape as he raised his head and looked at Feng Tianlan in an endearing manner. “Demons and devils are a perfect match,” he replied.
His Lan’er had gone through such torture. Simply paying back what he did to her was much too lenient for him. If it was up to Si Mobai, he would do things that were much crueler than this. Therefore, in comparison, Lan’er was much kinder than him. He even felt that Lan’er wasn’t cruel enough.
“…” Jiang Ying almost vomited a mouthful of blood. This was his first time seeing a man so in love with such a cruel woman!
Feng Tianlan looked at Jiang Ying with a smile. She then raised her hand and put the kneecap that she had just dug out directly in front of him. “It’s still not too late to make a decision right now. If you make a choice, you can avoid the pain of having your other kneecap dug out. You can even meet Shen Yunya.”
“I will never do that!” Jiang Ying gritted his teeth. No matter how big of an a** he was, he would never treat his parents that way. That would be unfilial. That would be like committing treason.
Feng Tianlan sneered. She then put Jiang Ying’s kneecap into a cup and said in an indifferent tone, “Alright then, let us continue digging.”
“Wa… Wait.”
After hearing someone speak, Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked towards the source of the sound. It was Lord Jiang. He was looking at her with his head drenched with sweat. “I… I will choose!”
“Huh?” Feng Tianlan curled her lips slightly.
“I will dig out Ying’er’s kneecap… Please… Please spare my life,” Lord Jiang said disjointedly. He couldn’t take the pain of having his kneecaps dug out, or especially of having saltwater poured in his wounds if he passed out. Such pain would penetrate deep into one’s bones, and even one’s soul. He would rather die than go through this pain.
Besides, he was afraid of dying. Since he could have the best of both worlds, why not choose the better option?
“Heh heh.” Feng Tianlan looked at Jiang Ying, whose eyes widened in disbelief. She then chuckled. “Alright then,” she said.
“Father, you…” Jiang Ying looked at Lord Jiang with his eyes wide open. He really couldn’t believe that his father had actually made such a decision. They were father and son. They were blood-related.
“You can’t… treat Ying’er like that. He is your… son.” Lady Jiang’s fat body jiggled as she shouted at Lord Jiang. However, after all that screaming, her voice was now hoarse.
Her subordinate then removed Lord Jiang’s chains and brought him before Jiang Ying. He ignored Lady Jiang’s screams.
“Ying’er…”
“Father, no. I am your son.” Jiang Ying looked at Lord Jiang with hope. “You didn’t do it on purpose, right?”
His father must have accepted her offer purposely so that he had a chance to commit suicide or save him or even kill Shen Qingdai.
