The Birth Of A Villainess

Chapter 277 - A Repeat Of The Past (3)

Both Kin Xiaofei and Qu Xing Xu didn't know that the nobles that were involved in the Uprising more twenty years ago has joined in amongst the ranks of their enemies.

There was still a lot of untied knots in the newlywed couple's ends, but both didn't appear too agitated and worries about it.

The next day, Lin Xiaofei returned to the dungeons.

Her visits has turned repetitive since the other person locked inside that cramped cage was not giving up. Honestly, Lin Xiaofei didn't know if she should praise Yu Fangzhu's tenacity for staying alive even after the water treatment he got. Or perhaps, she should laugh at his hopelessness for still thinking that he could get out of there alive.

Standing outside the prison where Yu Fangzhu's stayed.

"Excuse me…"

No one answered her.

"Hello?"

Despite not getting any response from Yu Fangzhu, Lin Xiaofei still went in and started speaking in a friendly manner.

"Are you still going to not speak and be a mum doll?"

Lin Xiaofei smiled when she saw a glint in Yu Fangzhu's eyes behind the metal bars barring him inside the cage.

"Great, you're still awake and lively!"

"You…"

Lin Xiaofei looked at him.

Will be start speaking nonsense again? She thought.

"Xiaofei…"

Lin Xiaofei froze.

For some reason, when Lin Xiaofei heard him call her name, she didn't know who he was calling. Was he calling the name of his captor? Or did he finally recognize her?

"We're not that close for you to call my name so directly." Lin Xiaofei said. "And I don't like it when you call me like that."

Suddenly Yu Fangzhu laughed like an insane person.

His body shook and he continued to laugh as if that was the only thing that he could do to comfort himself.

'Bang!'

Then, after laughing so much, he suddenly shoved his body forward. His head hit the metal bars, scraping the skin on his cheeks and forehead and drawing blood.

"It's you, right? You're that woman who should have died already. Do you know how disappointed I am to see you dead before I could exhaust my torture methods on you?"

His voice cracked as he said it. His eyes were like a beast staring at her and had all the desire in the world to rip her apart. Lin Xiaofei didn't know if he was extremely brave or he has lost his mind to actually provoke her with his words.

"I know." She replied coolly. "In this world, who knows you better than I do? Your mother didn't even know that you killed one of her beloved boy toy. If she knew, she might have cut off one of your fingers."

Lying to him now was useless. Lin Xiaofei all along had the intentions to tell him the truth and let him suffer from it.

"How did you find out?" She asked.

Yu Fangzhu didn't answer. Instead, he punched the prison door and glared at her.

"Did that bastard know that the woman he married was already a used shoe? If he's still clueless, why not kill me now before I can't stop my mouth from blabbering about it?"

Calling her a used shoe… Even if Lin Xiaofei didn't want to be provoked by him, she still couldn't take this type of insult.

Her soul might have married two men, but only one of these men has her heart and considered her as a treasure worth keeping. While the other used her up, took all the golden crowns and jewelries out of the treasure chest, and when she's of no use, he discarded her like she was nothing to him.

Lin Xiaofei's body was also very clean and didn't deserve for others to call her a used shoe.

"Do you really think that, Yu Fangzhu?" She asked him with a gentle smile before the storm. "Do you really want to die after I put a green hat on top of your head?"

Yu Fangzhu tightened his lips. His eyes slowly darkening. Waves after waves of anger kept on surging inside him as soon as he heard her like a tidal wave in the sea.

Yu Fangzhu remembered that during the banquet, Lin Xiaofei seemed to be in a good relationship with Qu Xing Xu. Was it at that moment when the two of them fell in love? Thinking like this, his stomach felt heavy as his anger reached the maximum amount his mind could take.

Holding the prison door, Yu Fangzhu turned feral. "You won't live for long! Someone will surely come after you. Do you even know how many girls have wanted Qu Xing Xu? They'll come after you and I'll watch them tear you apart!"

Strings curses was shot towards Lin Xiaofei. But the only thing she did was cast him an indifferent glance.

Of course, she knew that Qu Xing Xu was surrounded by flowers who desired him more than she does. However, that didn't matter to her. What matters to Lin Xiaofei was that Qu Xing Xu has her in his heart and no one else. His oath to her was also somewhat binding.

No one knew if past will repeat once again, but deep inside her, Lin Xiaofei could tell that Qu Xing Xu was not another Yu Fangzhu in this lifetime.

Still not saying her response to his provocative speech, Lin Xiaofei knocked on the door where the guardsman was standing.

"Yes?"

"Can you prepare what I requested Gu Yan to bring yesterday?"

The guardsman made an affirmative before disappearing somewhere deep into the dark corridors. A loud dragging boise soon followed and a minute later, the guardsman returned carrying two huge wooden plank intersecting each other to form a shape of X. The wood was thick, thicker than her wrist and taller than a man's height.

On each end of the wooden plank was a kind of binding rope for the hands and feet.

"Take him out of the cage and place him on it." Lin Xiaofei said.

The guardsman didn't voice out his opinion and only did as what he was told to do.

He pulled out Yu Fangzhu, who struggled quite messily and fruitlessly. Faced with a highly trained military man with a full stomach, compared to Yu Fangzhu who only get half a bowl of plain rice had no chance against him.

"Let go of me! What are you planning to do?!"

"Xiaofei!!!"

Lin Xiaofei dragged a chair near them. "What am I planning to do?" She asked before chuckling once. "I've grown tired of keeping you here. You're no fun anymore."

She nodded gratefully at the guardsman who securely tied Yu Fangzhu's limbs to each rope.

"And thus, I will personally do the torture and end your life." She said softly.

...

Author has something to say: It seems that Yu Fangzhu's ending will be up to Lin Xiaofei now. What is she planning to die with him? Up next is Yu Fangzhu's ending!

Qu Xing Xu: Wifey called me! Why am I not included part of the party! I want to torture him too!
