Forsaken Immortals Chapter 224 - The Perfect Punishment

Chapter 224 - The Perfect Punishment

"Did you get the news from a reliable source?"

Qing Yi looked at the young man in front of her. She and her sister Qing Er had been lurking in Canglan City for a long time already, but they dared not make a rash move.

Although they had managed to sneak into the city, they knew that they had to keep a low profile. Elder Sun was still looking for them, and they were clear on their fate should they fall into his hands.

As such, they had sent Zhou Liqiang out to scour for information after hearing some rumors of Li Moyun's disappearance.

The twins had been picked up by Li Moyun when they were young. They had been raised alongside him, and they had always a.s.sumed that they would become his concubines.

They understood their positions as servants, and were aware that they would never become the main wives, but they had not expected that he would have to marry someone who was rumored to be useless.

They felt it was a great insult to their master, but upon meeting Bai Rouyun, they had to admit that they would have preferred her to be dumb.

When they had been called to tend to her, they had seen that the woman they had looked down upon was actually favored in a way that no other woman had ever been favored by Li Moyun, and an unbearable pain had spread in their hearts.

Although they had known that it was impossible for them to become the main wife, they had no way to prepare for the hurt that ripped apart their hearts upon seeing the vixen-like face of Bai Rouyun.

The words she had said that day still resounded in their minds. They had been told that they were trying to seduce a married man. She had claimed that they were cheap, but in fact, they were the ones who had followed Li Moyun first! They were his trusted subordinates, and they could not accept him to be so much more loving towards a woman he had just met.

Zhou Liqiang was not aware of the dark thoughts that were swirling within Qing Yi's mind as he nodded his head before taking a seat opposite her.

"I found that Li Moyun left the city some time ago, and there has been no sighting of him since. There are some who believe that he might have gone to succeed in a breakthrough in secluded meditation, but some think that he might have already left the continent.

"It is no secret that the Eternal Shadow Lord was already the strongest expert that lived here, and he was on the verge of breaking through the void to reach a higher realm.

"While there have been no signs of a breakthrough, the ones I bought information from told me that he left the manor in a dignified manner. The servant also overheard some words between him and the woman he lives with.

"According to the servant's words, Li Moyun is going to ascend to the higher realms, while he asked Bai Rouyun to catch up with him as soon as possible. I am rather certain that he is no longer on the continent."

Qing Yi nodded her head absentmindedly. She felt a mixture of complex and contradicting emotions in her heart. She had always loved Li Moyun, and she truly hoped to share her life with him, but she was also aware that she would never be able to enter the higher realms. Did this mean that she would never meet his hero-like existence again?

A strange sense of loss spread in her heart, but it was mixed with a bit of anger and hatred. Why would he protect that hoof Bai Rouyun so unconditionally? Did he not know of her and her sister's feelings towards him for so many years?

She knew that he was ruthless, but she had seen the pampering and spoiling look in his eyes as he glanced at Bai Rouyun, and she wished that she was the special receiver of such gazes.

If she had never seen him display such tenderness towards a woman, then she would not have minded, even if their relationship had stayed that of a master and subordinate for the rest of their lives. Still, after knowing that he had a woman who could make him change his cold and ruthless nature, she felt an imbalance she had never felt before.

Qing Yi knew that she was not able to keep living for long. It was not that she was sick, but because the Eternal Shadow Palace would never allow for traitors to keep moving around.

Since she was going to die anyway, she would drag Bai Rouyun down with her. She knew her own strength well, and due to a Heavenly Oath that was sworn when she entered the Eternal Shadow Palace, she could not betray Li Moyun or the faction, so the only thing that could be handled was Bai Rouyun.

"How do you want her to die?" Zhou Liqiang looked at Qing Yi with intense infatuation. He was, in a way, similar to the twins, as his love was also more of an obsession than an actual healthy type of love.

Qing Yi did not answer right away. She looked out the window while deep in thought. Multiple thoughts about how to kill her floated in her mind, and she began to think about which method she preferred on using.

In the end, she decided the most ruthless method she could think of.

"I want her to have her flesh cut off bit by bit. After all the flesh has been sliced off her limbs, then I want her limbs to be removed alongside her tongue, and in the end, her body should be placed in a barrel full of salt.w.a.ter, with only her head sticking out. I want her to be fed a pill every day so that she cannot die, but she will be unable to kill herself as well!"
