The next day, Gu Xun'er lay naked on the cold floor of the secret chamber, her body a mess.
Tears, from countless nights of crying, still clung to her cheeks.
Her eyes stared blankly at the black iron ceiling, radiating an aura of despair.
Hun Changqing looked at the despairing Gu Xun'er with a headache. How could he have lost control? How could he have been so impulsive!
What a sin! They had already reached an agreement! Less resources, less resources, it was all fine, why did he act so rashly?
Now things were terrible. If Gu Yuan found out that his daughter, before reaching the Dou Sheng level, had been defiled by a member of the Soul Clan, he would definitely attack the Soul Clan's homeland.
The Soul Clan wouldn't go to war with the Gu Clan at this time because of Hun Changqing; they would definitely sacrifice him! Damn it, he only thought of momentary pleasure last night, and now he was starting to feel bad!
"Kill me,"
Gu Xun'er suddenly said, her words devoid of emotion, as if she had no attachment to life whatsoever.
She had lost her virginity, had no face to see her brother Xiao Yan again, her Dou Di bloodline had been destroyed, she had failed the Gu clan's expectations of her, and her father's love for her.
In just one night, she felt she had lost everything, had no will to live!
Hun Changqing was shocked. This was too much of a blow to the child; she was contemplating suicide! What would I do if she died? I didn't want to die with her!
Hun Changqing quickly comforted Gu Xun'er
, "Ahem… Miss Xun'er, you don't need to be like this. I have a way to cover up your loss of virginity.
I'm confident that Xiao Yan and Gu Yuan won't find out. You can still go back and be with Xiao Yan, and you'll still be the hope for the Gu clan's revival.
What do you think? Just consider last night as an accidental mistake, what do you think?"
Hun Changqing's immediate priority was to stabilize Gu Xun'er, to prevent her from losing all hope and dying together with him!
As for how to prevent others from discovering that Gu Xun'er's innocence had been ruined, Hun Changqing already had some ideas in mind.
"Kill me,"
Gu Xun'er said again, her voice devoid of any emotion.
Hun Changqing was annoyed by Gu Xun'er's stubbornness.
He was already troubled, and he was trying to help Gu Xun'er find Xiao Yan with a clear conscience.
But Gu Xun'er was contradicting him.
A fierce glint flashed in Hun Changqing's eyes, and he laughed angrily, saying,
"Fine, if you want to die so badly, then die! I have hundreds of ways to die for you to choose from. See which one you prefer!"
With that, Hun Changqing activated the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique again, and images flashed through Gu Xun'er's mind.
The images first showed a pitch-black scene, like a pool of water, with the sound of dripping water. Then, the darkness instantly brightened!
Maggots!
Blood-red maggots!
They covered the entire pool!
Gu Xun'er stared at the scene in her mind, unable to maintain her cold expression any longer. She trembled violently, her face turned deathly pale, and her stomach churned violently.
"Ah!"
Gu Xun'er cried out in terror, then instantly arched her back, about to vomit.
Hun Changqing amplified Gu Xun'er's perception, making her feel as if she were actually there, experiencing the pain firsthand. Hun Changqing leaned down and whispered in Gu Xun'er's ear,
"This is the Bloodthirsty Cold Pool, one of the Ten Great Punishments of the Soul Palace. Those punished will have their cultivation destroyed, their limbs broken, and be thrown into this cold pool. Then, you will be covered in blood maggots that suck your blood and devour your flesh. Look, those are the people who were punished before."
As he spoke, several people in the flower-patterned pool were slashed into human form and thrown into the cold pool. Countless blood maggots crawled all over their bodies, wriggling in their mouths, ears, eyes, and noses, their shrill screams echoing throughout the pool. Seeing this, Gu Xun'er could no longer bear it and vomited. She had only ever seen the beauty of this world since childhood; she had never witnessed such a scene!
"So, do you like this way of dying? If you like it, I'll take you back to the Soul Palace right now."
Hearing Hun Changqing's words, Gu Xun'er's pale face instantly filled with terror. She wanted to die, but she didn't want to be covered in this stuff!
Gu Xun'er didn't speak, only her eyes pleaded, her hands gripping Hun Changqing's sleeve tightly, biting her lip.
Hun Changqing ignored Gu Xun'er's pleas and continued, "Oh? It seems you don't like this. How about this?"
At this moment, the scene shifted, showing a giant furnace with black stone pillars inside. Green flames burned beneath the furnace, and black-robed figures were chained to the pillars, emitting shrill screams, frantically begging someone to kill them.
"This is the Hellfire of the Soul Palace. It will burn your soul but not your body. Your soul will be slowly burned in this sea of fire. The flames won't cause much damage to your soul, but they will intensify your soul's pain dozens of times. After eighty-one days, your soul will be completely annihilated by this ghost fire. Until then, you will have to endure this pain dozens of times stronger every moment. So, do you like this?"
Gu Xun'er was on the verge of a complete breakdown. The miserable screams of the black-robed figures in the scene were frantically stimulating her nerves. She muttered frantically,
"No...no...I don't want to..."
"Oh? Still don't like it? How about this?"
Another scene appeared, showing a naked body covered in countless wounds, a bloody mess, like a vengeful ghost.
"This is slow slicing..."
Gu Xun'er's face was once again covered in tears.
"No... Waaah... No..."
"Oh? You don't like this one either? How about this one?"
... "How about
this one?"
...
"Still not satisfied? How about this one?"
Hun Changqing seemed to have transformed into a top salesman, explaining each of the various tortures to Gu Xun'er word by word, constantly asking if she was satisfied.
At this moment, Gu Xun'er was surrounded by endless despair. She wanted to die, but she dared not die. Every form of torture in the scene made her feel like she was living a life worse than death!
Finally, Gu Xun'er could no longer bear this feeling of despair and exploded.
"Ah! Why! Why are you doing this to me! Waaah... I clearly agreed to you... I agreed to your conditions...
Why are you doing this to me... Why won't you let me die... I have nothing left... I have nothing left... Waaah..."
Gu Xun'er first roared madly at Hun Changqing, and then quickly started crying again, because besides crying, she really didn't know what else to do.
