<h4>Chapter 244</h4>


    (Warning: Graphic and disturbing content ahead)


    At this moment, Nian Sn slowly lifted her confused pupils. When she realized Le Yao Yao was the person sitting in front of her, she couldn’t believe it.


    “It’s you? Why are you still alive?” she shouted.


    “Uh…why wouldn’t I be alive?” Le Yao Yao was confused.


    Ever since Nian Sn’s failed attempt of drugging Yu, Yu had banned her from the residence. As a result, Le Yao Yao hadn’t seen her since then. Le Yao Yao would’ve never thought they would meet again under this type of circumstance.


    Nian Sn hated looking weak in front of her rival. So, she slowly crawled up from the ground. Although she looked like a pitiful mess, the hatred she felt towards Le Yao Yao was very evident.


    “You bit*h! You’re disgusting! Even though you have cousin Yu, you’re hooking up with another man. What a slut!” she hollered.


    Le Yao Yao frowned. She knew Nian Sn must have misunderstood and thought she came here willingly. So, she wanted to exin herself. But before she could say a word, the ck figure standing to the left of Nian Sn ruthlessly pped her across the face. Following the sharp p, Nian Sn’s frail body copsed on the ground once more.


    But since the floor was covered with sheepskin, she wasn’t hurt by the impact.


    Although Le Yao Yao disliked Nian Sn, she didn’t want to see her physically punished. So, she turned to Si Mu Han. “Could you…”


    “Xin’er, could it be that you want me to go easy on her?”


    “Yes. I’m not sure why you brought her here, but please release her.” Le Yao Yao turned around and pleaded. She didn’t want to see Nian Sn tortured.


    She also had another selfish reason for wanting to save Nian Sn. If Nian Sn was freed, perhaps she would tell Leng Jun Yu that she had been captured by the evil cult. Although the chances of that was very slim, it was better than no hope at all.


    But Si Mu Han shook his head. “Xin’er, do you have any idea what this bit*h wanted to do to you?” he snarled.


    “What could she do to me?”


    Currently, there was a fresh palm print against Nian Sn’s right side of the face. It was swollen. The corner of her mouth was bleeding and there was blood steaming down on one side. Pieced with her hateful stare, she looked almost like a devil.


    Le Yao Yao felt very unstable on the inside. Could Nian Sn…


    “Yes, she wants you dead!” confirmed Si Mu Han.


    Le Yao Yao felt as if her mind was going to explode. She never thought Nian Sn would kill her over a man.


    “This bit*h tried to pay an assassin to assassinate you. But she had no idea that the assassin she hired is one of my subordinates. What a stupid woman!”


    “What?! The evil cult?!” Nian Sn eximed. Nian Sn had no idea she was kidnapped by the evil cult. Now, all her hatred was reced by fear. But after a few secondster, she pointed her finger at Le Yao Yao and screeched, “You slut! Not only did you seduce cousin Yu, you linked forces with the evil cult! You know cousin Yu is against them too! Are you trying to harm cousin Yu?”


    “T-that’s not true! It’s not what you’re thinking!” Le Yao Yao wanted to exin herself, but obviously, Nian Sn didn’t give her the opportunity to do so.


    “I should’ve personally killed you and chopped your arms and legs off!” she screamed.


    “…..” No matter what she says, Nian Sn isn’t going to believe her.


    In addition, Le Yao Yao was quite upset by what Nian Sn was saying. But Si Mu Han was even more infuriated.


    “Haha, chop your arms and legs off? That sounds like a great idea!” Si Mu Han cruellyughed.


    “W-what did you say?” Nian Sn froze.


    Si Mu Han didn’t say anything else but used his eyes to direct his subordinate.


    The subordinate understood and turned to Nian Sn.


    Then, Si Mu Han asked Le Yao Yao, “Xin’er, have you ever seen human swine?”


    “Human swine?” Le Yao Yao felt goosebumps running down her spine.


    Human swine was a cruel punishment that turned a person into a pig. First, the arms and legs are chopped off. Then, the eyes are plucked out. Copper is poured into the ears and the person loses his hearing. Then, the person drinks some type of potion and gets his tongue cut off.


    Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao couldn’t stop shivering. She didn’t want Si Mu Han to do that to Nian Sn.


    Based on Nian Sn’s expression, she knew what ‘human swine’ was too.


    “N-no, you can’t do that!” She stuttered. Then, she began to back away.


    The man beside her pulled out his sword. His eyescked emotions.


    Le Yao Yao couldn’t let this happen so she began to tug on Si Mu Han’s arm. She pleaded, “Please, let her go!”


    “Xin’er, why are you so kind? This woman wants you dead. Why are you trying to save her?”


    Le Yao Yao knew Nian Sn wanted her dead. Logically, she shouldn’t be saving her. But she really didn’t want Nian Sn to die like this.


    Or maybe, it was because they were both around the same age. Perhaps Nian Sn was just lost right now. Le Yao Yao wanted to give her another chance.


    “Please!”


    “Aii…..” Seeing this, Si Mu Han decided to let Le Yao Yao have her way. “Fine, I’ll do what you want.” he sighed.


    But Nian Sn didn’t learn her lesson. She shrieked, “You bit*h! Stop acting fake! I hate your disgusting face! You think I will forgive you for taking cousin Yu from me just because you saved my life? You stole cousin Yu from me! I hope you die!”


    This time, Nian Sn had truly lost her mind. After all, ever since she was young, her only dream and goal was to marry her cousin. After waiting for so many years, her cousin wouldn’t even look at her because of Le Yao Yao. How could she not hate?


    Hearing this, Si Mu Han narrowed his eyes and no longer decided to release Nian Sn. “You deserve this. Subordinate!” he coldlymanded.


    The man beside Nian Sn drew his sword and was about to stab Nian Sn. Seeing this, Nian Sn decided to run for it. But the moment she stepped out the door, a figure in red appeared in front of her.


    “Haha, you want to run? What makes you think you can escape?” the woman in red smirked.


    Le Yao Yao was sitting inside so she couldn’t exactly see what was happening. But she rushed out the moment she heard a blood-curdling scream.


    All of Nian Sn’s limbs were lying in a pool of blood.


    Standing next to Nian Sn’s body was a woman in red. Her sword was dripping with blood.


    “Leader, Luo Chang did well, right?” she asked sweetly.


    The woman was definitely a beauty, but she looked so evil.


    Si Mu Han smiled and praised. “Good job.”


    However, Le Yao Yao felt as if she had been thrown in an icy cave. Instantly, her face turned white.


    Si Mu Han could sense something was wrong with Le Yao Yao, so he wanted to hold her to give her support. But before he could touch her, Le Yao Yao screamed.


    “Don’t touch me!”


    “Xin’er…”


    Le Yao Yao was backing away like she was facing a demon. “Don’t touch me! You’re a monster! You’re a monster!” she shrieked.


    “No, Xin’er, I’m not…”


    Si Mu Han wanted to exin more but Le Yao Yao was so traumatized that she fell into a pool of darkness.


    —–


    At the same time, there were a group of soldiers heading towards Sheng Nu Mountain. The man leading was dressed in all ck. His ck cape made him look very domineering.


    However, his facial expression was filled with concern. Next to him, Mei and Xing reassured him.


    “Prince Rui, since we have found out the headquarters of the evil cult, we will definitely be able to save our future Princess Consort.”


    Xing added, “Yes, please don’t worry, Prince Rui.”


    Leng Jun Yu didn’t say a word. He lifted his cold pupils and stared at the peak of the snowy white mountain.


    The wind was so strong that his cape was fluttering in mid air. Behind him, his long ck hair made him appear even more cold.
