Shen Youling despaired after getting a single black mark on her face. Mo Pinglan's entire face was destroyed; for her, life was worse than death. She had pinned all her hopes on Lin Tang, only for him to completely forget about her. How could anyone accept that?
"Damn it, how could you forget about ? You bastard, you scum, you beast..." Mo Pinglan broke down, cursing wildly.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Tang interrupted her, puzzled. "You're talking as if I'm so heartless man who jilted you. I don't owe you anything, do I?" His voice turned cold with displeasure. "If you dare make a scene again, watch your hide!"
Mo Pinglan gasped violently, but cald down after a few seconds and began to plead again. "Master, I was wrong. I really want to restore my appearance. Please, I'm begging you, think of another way! I'm willing to be your most loyal dog. I'll do whatever you ask. Once my face is restored, you can play with my body however you want. I'll do my utmost to please you. I'll serve you and make you feel good..."
CLICK!
The phone was abruptly hung up. It wasn't Lin Tang who did it, but Lee Encai, who was eavesdropping nearby.
"Shaless! So shaless!" she muttered.
"Her face is already ruined; she has no face left to lose," Lin Tang comnted.
"Fine, then." Putting yourself in her shoes, you couldn't help but sympathize. Lee Encai asked, "Are you really out of stock?"
Lin Tang rolled his eyes. "You saw make the ointnt with your own eyes. How could you not know? Besides, even if there was any left, would you really give it to her instead of using it yourself first?"
"Well..." Lee Encai hesitated. She really couldn't bear to part with it.
When she saw the latest photo of Shen Youling, she was also incredibly envious! If I had known the beautifying effects were this dramatic, I would have fought to the death to keep at least half for myself!
"Alas, all I can say is that she's pitiful. Even if we gave her all the ointnt, it's such a tiny amount it wouldn't be enough to cover her whole face!"
"Exactly."
「Over at the manor.」
BANG. Mo Pinglan smashed her phone to pieces. She then furiously clawed at herself, her hair becoming a disheveled ss as she descended into a crazed frenzy. Her subordinates trembled with fear, not daring to approach.
"She got what she deserved!" Zhu Yingning crossed her arms, gloating at Mo Pinglan's misfortune.
Just a re slave girl, and she dared to ride roughshod over , throwing her weight around. This is your just deserts! she thought, a smug smile curving her lips.
WHOOSH. Mo Pinglan whipped her head around and stared daggers at her. Zhu Yingning felt her scalp tingle and instinctively looked down, only to feel a surge of sha and anger at her own reaction.
Am I actually afraid of her? What a joke...
SWISH! Mo Pinglan snatched up a short sword and lunged at Zhu Yingning. "You dare laugh at ? I'll kill you!"
Zhu Yingning panicked. When it ca to poison, her skills far surpassed Mo Pinglan's, but in hand-to-hand combat, the two were more or less evenly matched. The key difference was that Mo Pinglan had a weapon, while she was empty-handed. Mo Pinglan had also spent the recent period repeatedly tornting and "training" her, giving her a crushing psychological advantage. With her movents restricted, how could Zhu Yingning possibly win?
She was beaten back again and again, sent tumbling across the ground until she was cornered with nowhere left to run.
Ah, am I really going to die in such a humiliating way?
As the tip of the sword neared her throat, Zhu Yingning's eyes widened with utter unwillingness. She had managed to escape Lin Tang's grasp and slip away from Tang Dingbo. She had even stubbornly survived encounters with the monstrous Mu Jiuzhou and the terrifying giant snake. But now...
If I had known it would co to this, I might as well have let Lin Tang kill !
In the end, Mo Pinglan didn't kill her. Instead, taking advantage of Zhu Yingning's daze, she knocked her unconscious. Gazing at Zhu Yingning's provocatively curvaceous body, Mo Pinglan let out a strange, eerie laugh.
"Lin Tang, you must have a way. Let present you with this grand gift!"
She found so rope, slung Zhu Yingning over her shoulder, and ran outside. She made her way to Lin Tang's new ho. Huang Jifen and Wu Xinyu had already moved to a nearby residence, so the apartnt was completely empty.
RIP! Mo Pinglan tore Zhu Yingning's dress to shreds and began to demonstrate her rope skills, binding her in a deeply humiliating position...
At that mont, Lin Tang was still at Ge Shijian's clinic, passing the ti by moonlighting as a doctor, completely unaware of what was unfolding. It wasn't until evening, when the clinic closed, that he took Lee Encai to a restaurant for dinner before leisurely strolling ho.
Downstairs, he saw Mo Pinglan standing in a corner, bundled up like a mummy and as still as a lifeless tree.
"Master!" Seeing Lin Tang, she regained so vitality and hurried over to greet him. "I'm sorry, I was irrational earlier and cursed at you. Please forgive !"
Lin Tang frowned. "That's enough. Stop pestering . I really don't have any..."
"Master, you misunderstand. Besides apologizing, I also have a small matter to discuss with Encai," Mo Pinglan said in a soft, gentle voice.
"Her? What about?"
"It's a little secret between girls. You shouldn't pry, Master. Why don't you go upstairs first?"
"Hmph, as if I'm actually interested in listening..." Lin Tang muttered, heading upstairs by himself.
"So, what did you want to tell ?" Lee Encai asked curiously.
Mo Pinglan said calmly, "Do a favor. Wait half an hour before you go up."
Lee Encai was bewildered. What did that an?! When she finally understood the situation but found her path blocked by Mo Pinglan, she was both annoyed and amused. "Half an hour? Who do you think you're looking down on!"
Mo Pinglan fell silent.
「Upstairs.」
Lin Tang was about to enter his apartnt when his nose suddenly twitched. He caught the scent of Zhu Yingning.
What kind of trick is this?
Bold and highly skilled, he was fearless. Lin Tang opened the door and walked in without any hesitation.
"Holy crap!"
The scene inside the room left both him and his little friend stunned.
He saw Zhu Yingning, stark naked, suspended in the air in an M-shape. Her skin flushed red where the ropes dug in, a stark contrast to its pale white. As if on cue, Zhu Yingning began to stir.
HISS... She drew a sharp breath, the tight ropes causing her imnse pain. She opened her eyes, her brow furrowed in agony, resembling a classic beauty in distress—a sight that evoked both pity and a man's primal, destructive instincts.
Her gaze t Lin Tang's. She froze, stunned. Then, she looked down at her own state and froze again.
A few seconds later.
MMMPH!
Zhu Yingning's face turned beet-red, so flushed it looked like her ears might bleed. She tried to scream, but her mouth was gagged. She tried to cover herself, but her struggles only made the ropes bind her tighter, revealing her shivering form in exquisite detail. She was overwheld with sha and despair, tears streaming down her face.
The sight made Lin Tang's breathing grow ragged. He completely forgot about rescuing her.
Untie her? How? Master never taught this...
"You pervert! Deviant! Stop looking!" Zhu Yingning's eyes were practically shooting fire. She finally managed to spit out the gag. "Bah! Lin Tang, and I always considered you a gentleman! I never thought you'd be so despicable as to do sothing this vile to !"
"Huh?" Lin Tang finally snapped out of his stupor, feeling as if he'd been stabbed. He jumped to his feet. "Nonsense! I'm not the one who tied you up like this! Why are you slinging mud at ?"
"I don't care if it was you or not! Just get down from here, now!"
"Go find whoever tied you up. This is their ss, not mine," Lin Tang retorted. He casually pulled over a chair, sat down in front of her, and propped his chin on his hand, continuing to admire the view.
Zhu Yingning nearly exploded with rage. Large patches of crimson blood across her skin, matching the blush on her cheeks. She looked like a ripe peach, plump and enticing.
Go ahead, look all you want! It's not the first ti you've seen . It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh. What do I have to be afraid of! she tried to comfort herself.
Then...
Lin Tang pointed at her rear. "How did this part get thicker? Is that a callus? How ugly!"
That was the last straw. Zhu Yingning's composure completely shattered, and she began to wail. "You have the nerve to say that? It's because of that damn poison you gave ! I have to scratch myself every day, and now it's like this. Lin Tang, you bastard! Bullying a widow, what kind of man are you?! Either let go or just take already! Don't just leave hanging here in humiliation, damn it!"
"I never force anyone against their will," Lin Tang said, shaking his head, stubbornly adhering to his principle of mutual consent.
Of course, in his view, the kind of Dual Cultivation he had with Shen Youling and Ning Yuexi—where they lost their sense of self and acted purely on instinct—also fell within the scope of mutual consent.
He waved his hand. The ropes snapped and fell away.
Ignoring the numbness in her legs, Zhu Yingning scrambled into the bedroom and found so of Lee Encai's clothes to put on. "What size is this? It's way too small..." she grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Just as she was about to go find Mo Pinglan to exact her revenge, she spotted several manuals casually placed on the table. "Fiery Fire Sky Palm? Cloud Flipping and Rain Covering Technique? And... my god, are these all earth-level Cultivation Techniques? Where did you steal these from!"
Her eyes lit up. She touched one book, then flipped through another. She wanted to learn them all, but she knew her own aptitude was diocre. Just mastering one would likely take years.
Right, isn't Lin Tang able to perform Yijing Cleansing for people, helping them achieve mastery quickly?
She had hesitated before and ran away, giving up on that path. Now, however, she had nothing left to lose. She walked out, sat directly in Lin Tang's lap, and began rubbing her cheek against his while stating brazenly, "I want you to help cultivate. Help train."
Lin Tang was already aroused by the sensual scene from before. Now, with her deliberately pressing and rubbing against him, how could he possibly resist?
He imdiately swept her into his arms and rolled onto the sofa with her. "You want my help, is that right? Well, I'm going to help you *thoroughly*!"
Sigh... Husband, I'm about to do sothing to betray you... Zhu Yingning thought, closing her eyes with a silent sigh. She tried to picture her deceased husband's face in her mind.
To her astonishnt, she realized she couldn't seem to... rember what he looked like at all.
She opened her eyes again. Up close, all she could see was Lin Tang's face.
So clear.
So real.
And so... infuriating!
