Chapter 259 Ruthless Dark Arts
Everyone was suddenly enlightened by Lin Mengya’s words.
No wonder Xin Qing had never moved since the moment the insect was burned. It turned out that it was for that reason.
“Girl, do you mean that he can’t move at all now?”
Even so, Qinghu’s eyes showed that he was still fully alert. Judging from the confrontation earlier, he had already known that the man in front of him was ruthless and incomparable.
If that was only his trick to gain time, he and Lin Mengya would be in great danger.
“Master, kill him! Right now!”
Baisu’s sudden shout made Lin Mengya hesitate.
Qinghu said that the Xin family was the largest family in Lieyun Empire and Xin Li was the successor of the next generation. If she killed him in front of everyone and provoked a war between the two nations, what would she do next?
Just as she was hesitating, Xin Li, who transformed into Xin Qing earlier, reacted again and the cracks in his face suddenly exploded. Qinghu had already been prepared. He immediately jumped up and grasped Lin Mengya to move backward quickly.
When everybody was watching on in horror, Lin Mengya suddenly saw the most disgusting scene in her life.
On Xin Li’s feminine face, all kinds of insects were entangled together, and venom in various colors was mixed, dripping in the snow. It was corroded, and a hole had been created in there. The toxicity was extremely strong and the radar in her brain was trying hard to warn her.
According to modern grading, the person in front of her had already caused a third-level warning. One should know that the first level of warning meant there were chemical weapons around!
“What the hell is this person?”
“I’m done…”
Baisu had completely fallen into the arms of the person behind her. “It turns out that the legends about the Xin family are all true. The elders in the Dragon Pavilion said that if the Xin family was pushed to that extent…
“Then, no matter who it is, he must be dead.”
Her face was pale and there was helplessness in her eyes. She hadn’t expected that Xin Li would really abandon his human skin.
“What is this?”
The knowledgeable Qinghu also felt a little disgusted, while Lin Mengya kept staring at the cruel scene in front of her. She remembered that she had seen an extremely cruel witchcraft in her teacher’s poison book.
“However, that condition is extremely severe. Unless… unless all the heirs of the Xin family are trained according to this method.
“But Xiaoyu is obviously not like this. Is this the reason why Xin Li wants to get rid of him?”
“I’ll make you pay for what you’ve done today.”
The low and hoarse sound seemed to be squeezed directly out of his throat. Regardless of the life and death of his own people, the creature, who didn’t look like a human or a ghost, jumped up and soon disappeared in front of everyone.
“What is that?”
Qinghu frowned slightly. He was well-informed, but it was his first time seeing such a strange person.
“That’s a venomous man, who is similar to you. The only difference is that he uses his own body to raise those venomous insects.”
Lin Mengya looked in the direction that Xin Li disappeared and a strong rejection for that so-called the Lieyun Empire grew in her mind for the first time.
Her teacher said that everyone in the Lieyun Empire was good at using poison, and because of the poison, people would become much crazier.
Dajin and several nations around definitely wouldn’t deal with them if it was not necessary.
It was no exaggeration to say that almost all the poison doctors went mad at the end.
“Qinghu, can you do me a favor?”
After Qinghu lowered his head and saw Lin Mengya’s sincere look, he nodded immediately.
“Take off your shoes and give them to me, all right? It’s so cold!”
With her ice-cold face, Lin Mengya realized that the beautiful scenes on TV series were all deceptive.
In the freezing cold winter, she walked barefoot on the snow with gauze. That was simply a behavior to court death. It had been only a while, but she felt that her feet were not hers anymore.
“Uh…”
Qinghu was a bit hesitant because he hadn’t expected that Lin Mengya would propose such a request. But before he responded, a pair of arms approached and took Lin Mengya’s body away in an instant.
Looking at the empty arms, Qinghu was stunned.
He looked up and actually saw Long Tianyu’s beautiful face. He didn’t know why, but some complicated feelings were produced deep inside.
“He came late, but is still so pretentious. That’s really consistent with his style as a prince.”
“Sorry I’m late.”
He looked at the woman in his arms regrettably while putting her slender little body in his big cloak.
“There’s a strong bloody smell on your body. Are you injured?”
Lin Mengya, who had a sharp nose, immediately smelled it. So, she looked at Long Tianyu with eyes open wide.
.
But the man just shook his head and said, “I’m fine. It’s other people’s blood. Come on, let’s go back to the palace.”
With his warm cloak, he wrapped up Lin Mengya and prevented her from a little bit of coldness.
Long Tianyu did not intend to tell her that he fought desperately to protect Lin Zhongyu. He also took his subordinates to encircle and suppress the enemies outside.
He felt a little sorry for her deep inside because he was not by her side when she needed help the most.
It was not the first time for him to realize how terrible the Xin family was.
If she was not so clever, if Qinghu was not around her, if…
There were thousands of possibilities. Maybe it was only by a finger’s breadth that he’d lose her forever.
He couldn’t help holding her more tightly. Even if that caused some slight pain for Lin Mengya, he was still ignorant.
“Did you know that Xin Li is actually a person with venomous insects? It’s such a crazy family. Do they really not care about life and death?”
Huddling in Long Tianyu’s arms, Lin Mengya muttered.
The refining of a venomous person was extremely troublesome and cruel.
First, they needed to find a woman who had eaten all the elixirs in the world since she was a child. Then, after her conception, they used a special method to make the woman eat extremely poisonous medicine every day.
A strange balance between toxicity and medicinal properties would be maintained in the body of a child born in that way.
When the child was about one year old, they put the child in a big jar that was filled with poison and poisonous insects every day.
When all of the child’s hair was turned into a highly toxic poison, they put the child in a small room where there were a variety of poisonous insects.
In fact, they wanted to let the child and the venomous insects kill each other. If the child won, then he’d be a venomous person. If the insect won, then it’d be the king of venomous insects.
Lin Mengya could hardly imagine who on earth had the heart to do such a ruthless thing.
Besides, her teacher said that there was an extremely rigorous rule in that. Even if he did that personally, he couldn’t guarantee 100% success.
“What on earth is the Xin family’s background?”
“The Xin family… They’re a bunch of lunatics.”
Long Tianyu suddenly said that after hearing Lin Mengya’s words.
“My master was invited by the Xin family 10 years ago and went to their old house in the Lieyun Empire, but he only served in the outer yard. My master said that the Xin family was crazy. The outer yard can be described as a fairyland, but the inner chambers can be called a purgatory. The leader of the Xin family once said that every person who climbed out of the backyard would be the most horrible devil in the world. So, only men are allowed to enter their backyard, while all the women have to live in the outer yard for a lifetime. Do you know that Xin Li’s father married a total of 18 wives, and only he has grown up?”
Lin Mengya suddenly felt a little cold and moved closer into Long Tianyu’s arms unconsciously.
“He has 18 wives, but only Xin Li grew up. So, the other people…” Lin Mengya didn’t dare to think about that, because that was really crazy.
“Don’t think so much. It’s true that he’s escaped from the Capital City, but I’ve already sent people to watch over him. Even if he can return to the Lieyun Empire, I’ll make him pay the price.”
There was some coldness in his voice.
“Xin Li is really daring. Does he really think that Dajin could let him come and go freely?”
Lin Mengya nodded. She just wanted to take a hot bath to calm herself down at the moment.
She fully understood the cruelest side of their dark arts on that day.
When they returned to Prince Yu’s Mansion, the sky was already turning bright in the distance.
Lin Mengya, who hadn’t slept for a day and a night, huddled in Long Tianyu’s arms and was fast asleep.
Long Tianyu carried her to the room from the carriage and was still reluctant to give her to others. He gently put her on the bed, and then, he even took the hot water from Baiji to personally wipe her white feet. All the servants were stunned by that scene.
“You can leave now. I’m here. Everything will be fine.”
Although they were surprised, they still left obediently, leaving only Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu in the warm room.
It was quiet and cozy. Lin Mengya was sleeping soundly. After Long Tianyu wiped her feet, he naturally used his big hands to warm her cold feet.
“Is she always so quiet and well-behaved when she is asleep?”
He looked at her curly long eyelashes, delicate nose, and pink lips, feeling that such a harmless Lin Mengya was surprisingly so lovely.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in the room and Long Tianyu was alert. He turned his head to look at the newcomer.
“You promised me that you wouldn’t get her involved. Did you forget that?”
The voice was low, but there was restrained anger, while his deep eyes were shining with frightening cold light.
