The Ancient Realm Goddess
Extorting Information
Qing Yue'er helped examine the wound on Jing Ling's shoulder. It was an incision wound. Luckily Jing Ling had a technique to block blood flow so she didn't lose too much blood.
After taking care of his wound, Jing Ling approached towards the two people who were already covered in blood. He checked the state of those who still had the last breath left. Then he gave a little injection of spiritual qi to resuscitate them.
Qing Yue'er simply watched Jing Ling's deeds from her seat. He knew that those people could they use to extort information. So he was in no hurry to kill her. Right now he was going to see the show that Jing Ling was doing.
The two lying men finally opened their eyes. They glanced at Jing Ling and looked at Qing Yue'er full of hatred. If it wasn't for the girl for sure they wouldn't have ended up like this.
And now they finally knew that Jing Ling and Qing Yue'er were in the same group. Unfortunately Qing Yue'er's acting was too good, although previously they had already detected awkwardness but still ended up suffering.
"Friend, are you going to tell me who your master is and what he came here for?" jing Ling asked who still looked normal.
The red-robed man screeched and looked at Jing Ling full of scorn. "Even if my skin peels off, I'll never tell you."
"really? Then I should try whether your words are correct or not" Jing Ling said lightly. He took out the dagger that was previously used to threaten Qing Yue'er.
After that what was heard in the room were only the sounds of screams that resounded. Anyone else who heard it would definitely shudder in horror. Even from his voice alone they could feel how painful it was.
"Aahhhh! hahaha free! Free you do this, I will never say anything" cried the man in red robes.
"I can't believe it" Jing Ling said. Then he started torturing those people again.
Qing Yue'er felt her ears begin to throb from hearing the unrelenting scream. Finally he could not stand it anymore and got up close to them.
He could see the wooden floor that was drenched in red blood. A smile was on his lips. "Aren't you going to say nothing?"
He only heard the whistling coming out of the mouths of the two men. "good. I want to see how resistant you can be to my needle."
Woosh! Woosh!
Dozens of silver needles shot out from Qing Yue'er's hands and entered the veins of the two men who were currently just staring at her in horror.
"Ohhhh!"
The needle that Qing Yue'er sent was no ordinary needle. It was because he had bathed her all day long using poison. Although it was not a deadly poison yet every inch of blood vessels passed through it would feel burning heat.
Each needle wanders freely within the vein. Just imagine, how small is the size of a human blood vessel? And that narrow path was passed by the poisonous needle freely. Isn't that painful?
"B*jerk! Ahhhh!"
"Let's say, I will definitely release your pain," Qing Yue'er said.
Jing Ling simply looked at Qing Yue'er in astonishment. He did not expect it to turn out that the girl was also good at torturing people. Lucky before she didn't really make Qing Yue'er angry, or she didn't know what it would end up like.
"I. .. won't say it!" shouted the red-robed man with choked breath.
Qing Yue'er was not angry. He just watched them with his arms crossed. He will wait until they give up.
"I'm .. I'll say it."
This time it was the turn of the black-clothed man who spoke. Maybe he can't help it anymore. Such pain, who would be able to endure? It is better to die than to receive such a long torment.
"B*jerk! Don't ever say it!" The red-robed man shouted at his friend. He hates betrayal, which is why he still insists on maintaining his stance.
"I don't care. I will definitely die!"
Qing Yue'er was satisfied. Without saying much he moved the needle on the body of the red-robed man towards the heart. Just then the man immediately screamed with round eyes. The next second no more breathing.
Without further ado, he opened his mouth. "Actually I don't know too much. I only know that Miss Mei Yiran used her zither to absorb the soul force of the people listening to her," He Jiu said.
Qing Yue'er raised her eyebrows. This answer is not far from his estimate. He had indeed thought about it carefully and it was indeed related to soul force.
"Is there anyone else helping him?" qing Yue'er asked.
"I don't know for sure, but he has a mysterious origin in the city of Fuli."
Qing Yue'er and Jing Ling stared at each other. They were convinced that Mei Yiran was definitely not someone simple. There must be something behind that woman's mystery.
"What purpose does he want?" jing Ling asked.
Without hesitation He Jiu replied, "I only know if he amassed soul force into one place. Maybe he'll use it to increase his strength or something."
Qing Yue'er sighed. This information is not very specific. He wanted to ask a lot of things but He Jiu did not know many things. It seemed like the man was just a small subordinate of Mei Yiran.
"I .. Can you kill me? I will definitely not be able to live well after this," He Jiu asked after he finished giving away all the information he knew.
Hearing that request Qing Yue'er and Jing Ling felt surprised. But they can understand. If Mei Yiran knew that He Jiu was leaking her troubles surely she would not let her live. As He Jiu had said before, after all he would definitely die.
"I can let you live" Jing Ling said. "Be good and go to the Jing family. I can guarantee your safety if you don't come into contact with the fox Mei Yiran."
He Jiu was stunned to hear Jing Ling's offer. At first he thought these two girls were cruel and heartless people. It turned out that it was not like that, they even gave him a chance to live.
If comparing to Mei Yiran, of course they were different people. Mei Yiran might look friendly and virtuous, but humans could not judge a person by his outer appearance alone.
"good. I will definitely devote myself to the Jing family."
***
After resolving He Jiu's matter, Jing Ling finally told him to leave after giving some light treatment. He stood watching the one corpse that was still on the floor.
"I'll take care of this guy" he said.
Qing Yue'er shook her head. "Let me take care of it myself."
Yes, when he saw the corpse he would be reminded of Taotie. That thing is really a good dumping ground.
"alright. Xinyu, previously forgive my rude attitude. I also want to thank you for helping me" he continued.
Qing Yue'er chuckled. "No problem. I'm actually helping you because I really want to get information from you."
"Information?"
"Yes. Earlier I had thought of investigating Mei Yiran," Qing Yue'er said.
Jing Ling examined Qing Yue'er from top to bottom. He seemed to think for a moment. "You must be a newcomer, right? I don't understand why you chose to antagonize him, is it possible that he has offended you?"
"No. I was more curious about the person behind Mei Yiran. Looks like there's gonna be something more interesting." Qing Yue'er said casually.
"Yes, you're right. At that time maybe we can work together," Jing Ling said. "Alright, then I should go home now. If my dad knew I was causing trouble, he wouldn't have been afraid to hit me."
Qing Yue'er simply smiled. He looked at Jing Ling who left while waving her hands. "Yes. We'll work together."
