The Birth Of A Villainess

Chapter 285 - The Harmonious Couple In The Dungeon

Qu Xing Xu didn't like that his woman would let her secret from her past life known to Yu Fangzhu. Although his dissatisfaction was soon replaced with joy as the prince had no more hold in her past and current life.

Besides, the things she needed to ask from the prince had something to do with her past. Thus, it was inevitable for her to keep her secret from Yu Fangzhu.

Qu Xing Xu was calm about it and didn't seem to have taken a mouthful of vinegar, to which Lin Xiaofei was glad. She was half afraid that Qu Xing Xu would take this matter to heart and half expectant. As for what she was expecting, she dare not think about it for fear that the blush on her cheeks would be seen in this barely lit prison room.

After being teased and bullied in bed by Qu Xing Xu just because she mentioned another man's name in front of him, it somewhat created something deep within her that makes her think it was worthwhile to make her husband jealous once in a while.

Was it right for her to think like this?

Probably not.

But who cares about that?

In her past life, she was the only one who had to feel jealous over all of the women in the prince's residence filled with fresh and new beauties that the prince constantly visits when he was tired and bored of his old toys and wives.

Thinking about her life in her past life, Lin Xiaofei was not pleased with her previous actions.

"What's with him, anyway?" Qu Xing Xu's hoarse voice rang inside the prison room, giving a charismatic tone in this stuffy and locked room. He turned to the guardsman and gave him a weird look in his eyes as he asked him.

Taking herself out of her thoughts, Lin Xiaofei looked at him and wondered what he was talking about. Seeing that he had his head turned and was not looking at her, she followed his gaze, and on the way to the figure of the guardsman who stood next to the door, she caught sight of something unbelievable.

Maybe because her attention was solely focused on Qu Xing Xu and the answers she got from the guardsman who tortured the prince, she didn't have the time to observe and glance at Yu Fangzhu. Hence, she didn't know what state he was in until now.

Lin Xiaofei's eyes widened, and just as it was about to blink in disbelief at what she had just seen, a hand covered her eyes quickly before she could completely take all the scene before her in her eyes.

"Don't look. It's unsightly." His breath hit her ears as he spoke to her. And with him talking like this, Lin Xiaofei's curiosity was stroked, and she badly wanted to know and clearly see what state Yu Fangzhu was in.

She raised her hand to take his hand off her eyes and said, "It's alright. I can take it."

Qu Xing Xu didn't agree and kept his hand on her eyes. "But I can't take. I'm afraid the sight of him will dirty your eyes."

Lin Xiaofei's lips twitched as she heard him. Alright, she might also listen to him since Qu Xing Xu was adamant in not letting her see the prince before them. But her curiosity still wants to make her want to look.

Lin Xiaofei helplessly sighed. "Forget it, then. You might as well just make me leave this place and let you do what you want." She told him.

Qu Xing Xu's lips curved into a smile as he sincerely said, "That's a great idea."

Lin Xiaofei turned her head aside and really glared at him, but all she got was a beaming smile coming from his lips. If looks could only kill someone, the man beside her would be dead by now.

'Cough!'

The sound of gagging and coughing sound destroyed the harmonious scene between the married couple. Qu Xing Xu's smile was wiped off his lips as he narrowed his eyes at the badly treated prince.

Yu Fangzhu didn't seem to notice his glare. No, he really couldn't feel or sense anything at all. The pain he felt and experienced inside this prison was tremendous that just from the thought of it brought shivers through his skin, if there was even any good and uninjured part on his body.

He hated Lin Xiaofei for taking away his nails and making him fall to her schemes in the first place. He hated himself for being too arrogant and foolish not to notice such a simple scheme. And most of all, he hated Qu Xing Xu for training the guardsman who was so evil to make him wear nothing but these thin pieces of fabric that could barely cover the part that needed covering.

Almost naked down to his toes, Yu Fangzhu's body was cold. With the amount of blood flowing down to the ground, it was almost a miracle that he could still keep himself awake despite all the torture he had to experience that felt like it happened for years.

"What do you plan to do now?" Yu Fangzhu heard a man's voice inside this hellish room. It sounded familiar, but he barely recognized whom this voice belonged to because his senses were clouded.

"I got half of what I wanted. There's no use to keep him alive." This time, a female voice that was so familiar to him now and haunted him even in his dreams in between rest and torture was heard by Yu Fangzhu. His body flinched, but because his body was too numb, it barely moved.

The way she said this, it sounded as if she was not talking about a human she tortured, but a ferocious animal that didn't enter her eyes. How tragic his life is.

Yu Fangzhu continued to listen to them as they discussed about how they should take care of him. Suddenly, a feeling of glee entered his system as he thought that they would finally end his life and this torturous routine of being tortured.

However, as if someone could feel his eagerness to die, the male voice Yu Fangzhu had just heard spoke again.

Qu Xing Xu coldly swept his eyes to the prince as his words fell on the prince's shoulders like a huge rock. He said, "Then, why don't I continue the guardsman's handiwork?"
