"And I forbid you to harm Jing Xunce's life. After this is done, I'll take Jing Xunce with me, deprive him of his martial arts, and retire to the mountains and live in seclusion." No matter what, she still couldn't forget Jing Xunce.
Jing Xunce had occupied her entire youth back then. How could she just let go so easily?
The man was silent for a moment and then agreed. "Okay, I'll grant your request. Do you have any other requests?"
"No." After the man agreed, Lou Yueying let out a sigh of relief. The rest didn't matter anymore.
"Since that's the case, let's begin." With that, he personally helped Lou Yueying onto the stone bed that had been prepared long ago.
After Lou Yueying lay down, she felt that there was a different person beside her. This person smelled of medicine and a strong stench of blood. This made Lou Yueying couldn't help but retch.
"The girl should get used to my smell as soon as possible. After all, you'll be with me for a long time." An old man stood beside the stone bed. There was a hint of turbidity and excitement in his eyes. As long as this woman could make it through, then his technique of complete transformation would succeed. After that, the disguise techniques of those people in the Pharmacist Valley would no longer be able to suppress him.
Hahaha...
Lou Yueying ignored what this man said. She just felt a moment of nervousness in her heart. "How long will it take?" Lou Yueying suddenly asked.
"Um..." The man sized up Lou Yueying's figure. It was still a bit different from the figure the other person had brought. But it was okay. The main difference was the face.
"If you can make it through, including the time for recovery, it may only take three months. If you can't, then it's another story."
Lou Yueying was stunned for a moment after hearing the man's words. Then she understood what he meant. When she couldn't make it through and died, then it would all be over.
"I understand. We can start." Lou Yueying had mentally prepared herself enough. Everything she was doing now was for avenging the Lou family. And also, Brother Che...
The old man excitedly picked up the knife in his hand and gestured it on Lou Yueying's face. After finding the right position, he started without hesitation. Then Lou Yueying's heart - wrenching screams filled the stone chamber. Even so, she still gritted her teeth and endured.
The old man looked at Lou Yueying with admiration and then sped up his movements. He rarely saw someone as tolerant as Lou Yueying.
While Lou Yueying was suffering the pain of bone - shaving here, the empress of the Snow Feather Kingdom was also having a hard time. Because she had discovered the little tricks the Prince Wen had been playing behind her back.
"Is this how you repay me?" The empress gritted her teeth and glared at the Prince Wen, wishing she could tear him to pieces.
"Humph~ Isn't it a bit late for you to say this? Originally, I didn't want to treat you like this. But who asked you to be so cheap? You had to drug me on our wedding day.
If nothing had happened that day, the two of us would still be in a cooperative relationship. I wouldn't have come up with such a method. All of this is caused by you." The Prince Wen glared at the empress of the Snow Feather Kingdom fiercely.
After hearing the Prince Wen's words, the empress of the Snow Feather Kingdom laughed sarcastically. "Caused by me? Now you're blaming me? The drug I gave you back then wasn't a particularly strong one. You could have endured it if you just held on. All of this is just because of your weak will. Now, why do you shift the responsibility onto me?"
After hearing the empress's words, the Prince Wen's body stiffened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. "Anyway, you drugged me first. You can't blame others."
The empress of the Snow Feather Kingdom laughed even more insanely. Yes, she had drugged him first. What was wrong with that? Hahaha... But if she was having a hard time, he wouldn't have it easy either.
A hint of malice flashed in the empress's eyes. The Prince Wen wouldn't be proud for long.
"I'll spare your life because you're carrying my child. From now on, you can just stay in this palace and take good care of the baby. Don't go anywhere."
The empress knew that this was blatant imprisonment. But she didn't care. She accepted it calmly. Her throne had already been snatched away by this man. What did it matter if she was confined in this palace?
After saying that, the Prince Wen left. He had been sending people to the Qin Dynasty to inquire about An'er's news recently, but he couldn't find her. Since he saw An'er once on his wedding day, he hadn't seen her again. He didn't know where she was now and if she was living well.
"Your Highness, this is a letter sent by the King of the Grassland." Just as the Prince Wen was in a daze, a secret guard suddenly walked in with a letter. After putting the letter on the table, he left.
Speaking of the King of the Grassland, the Prince Wen curiously opened the envelope. The Grassland tribe had already been controlled by Tule Haojia. But no one expected that the King of the Grassland actually had a backup plan.
A while ago, Tule Haojia suddenly appeared in the public eye. The King of the Grassland originally wanted to send people to arrest Tule Haojia directly. But he didn't expect that more than half of the people in the court were pleading for Tule Haojia. Instantly, the King of the Grassland understood what was going on. He didn't expect that Tule Haojia not only didn't die but also had control over more than half of the people in his court.
"You really surprise me." The King of the Grassland said with a cold face as he looked at Tule Haojia.
"I should thank Your Highness. If it weren't for Your Highness, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today." Tule Haojia said modestly.
Just like this, the King of the Grassland was forced to let Tule Haojia stay in the court. But Tule Haojia and the King of the Grassland had always been at odds. This time, he even directly confronted the King of the Grassland head - on.
The King of the Grassland was so angry that he had a headache every day. He wasn't without sending people to assassinate Tule Haojia, but none of them succeeded. Once, he even went there himself.
Unexpectedly, after Tule Haojia disappeared for a while, his martial arts had improved a lot. He could already fight the King of the Grassland to a draw, and there was even a faint sign of surpassing him.
This made the King of the Grassland very unbalanced. What had happened to Tule Haojia in the past few days? Why had there been such a huge change?
Neither of them got the upper hand in that battle. They both suffered serious internal injuries. But Tule Haojia recovered almost completely after three days of recuperation. What did this mean?
It meant that Tule Haojia's martial arts were better than his, and the injuries he suffered that day were much lighter. For a moment, the King of the Grassland was so angry that he smashed all the things in the room.
After venting, the King of the Grassland quickly calmed down and began to look for a countermeasure.
