The sight of such a visually shocking body lying before Li Huowang left him deeply shaken.
"All of this… was done to you by them?"
There was a tremor in Li Huowang's voice, and his disgust toward the Ao Jing Sect intensified.
"At first, yes. Later, I did some of it myself, because that was the only way I could integrate into the sect and become one of them." Yingzi calmly put her great-robe back on.
Then, a hint of mockery appeared on her face. "I always thought that after sacrificing so much, I had truly integrated. But I never expected that wasn't the case at all. In their eyes, I wasn't family. I was just something they could discard at any moment."
Li Huowang wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and lay back down.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out of this hellhole. You can start over."
This time, Yingzi didn't respond.
Li Huowang understood that his hollow words solved nothing. She couldn't start over; her life was already utterly ruined.
