Chapter 368 - 368: Husband and Wife Torturing Scum
Liu Shimei swiftly caught up, taking advantage of the moment when ‘Lord Wan’ was writhing in pain as if on the brink of life and death. She planted a foot on his abdomen and withdrew a gift given to her by Liang Yi – the dagger called ‘Heavy Blood’.
With a swift motion, the razor-sharp dagger severed Lord Wan’s tendons in the blink of an eye.
As a surgeon, her movements were exceptionally deft, and her precision was unmatched. One cut, and the tendons were irreversibly severed, a type of injury beyond healing.
Blood erupted suddenly, splattering her skin as smooth as cream, adding a touch of coldness to her icy gaze.
But she remained unperturbed, her eyes cold and piercing.
This wasn’t over yet!
When ‘Lord Wan’ instinctively released his grip due to the excruciating pain, revealing his lower abdomen, Liu Shimei struck again, aiming for the vital spot.
“Alih!”
His wails pierced the heavens!
This ‘Lord Wan’ who had just boasted about his invincibility, was now utterly defeated in an instant!
He had played with geese all day, only to be pecked in the eye. Karma had finally caught up to him.
Not to mention the others present, even Huangfu Lingyao, who thought he understood his own wife quite well, was left dumbfounded, thinking, ‘Is my wife really this violent?’
But then, he considered a more pressing issue: This is bad. If she finds out the truth about that night during the Lantern Festival, would she… get rid of me too?
He clenched his teeth. No, he had to keep it tightly sealed. He could not let her discover that secret!
Whispers rippled through the onlookers…
“Lord Wan is well-known in the martial world, and yet he’s been disabled by a delicate young woman from a scholarly family?”
“All, if it were you, you’d be in the same state. Did you not see how that lecherous old man’s… ‘sword’ stood up after that kick? It’s probably broken, and in such a fragile state, who would even think about using martial arts at that moment?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. 1 heard that this Lord Wan has had his share of affairs, both with respectable ladies and gentlemen. He used to boast about his unyielding prowess, claiming seven rounds in a night. Now, it seems like his fortunes have changed.”
Meanwhile, on the other side, there erupted another intense scream, but unlike the commotion involving ‘Lord Wan’, this one was from a woman
Cui Wei!
The drama continued one act after another; just as this side hadn’t concluded, another spectacle began over there!
Cui Wei was seen covering her face. In just a short span of time, the previously charming leading courtesan of the Zhongding Pavilion had transformed into something scarier than a ghost!
Her once-beautiful visage, in the blink of an eye, had turned into a skeletal nightmare!
Her right side remained intact, but the left side of her face was oozing pus and blood at an astonishing rate, like a stream.
The pus quickly stained her clothing, and soon, everyone could see-
“Is that her cheekbone? Is this how cheekbones under facial skin look?
This is too horrifying, isn’t it?
What on earth happened?
How did a beautiful woman suddenly become like this?
The events at the scene were too bizarre, and the crowd could not help but turn their gaze towards Liu Shimei.
Someone remembered, “Wasn’t it Eldest Young Miss Liu who just patted the left side of this young beauty’s face earlier?”
This simple statement jogged everyone’s memory.
Earlier, when everyone thought Liu Shimei was about to do something to Cui Wei, she unexpectedly only said a few indifferent words and patted Cui Wei’s face.
At the time, many had thought she didn’t possess much ability and, therefore, didn’t take her seriously.
Little did they know—
With ‘Lord Wan’, she was merciless; with Cui Wei, she was equally relentless!
