Chapter 1531: A Life Worse Than Death
"Had you ever dreamed that you would face such a day?" Dongfang Shu stared venomously at Wu Lanqin, her gaze like a serpent ready to devour.
As she looked at Wu Lanqin, scenes from the past slowly surfaced in Dongfang Shu's mind, replaying like a film.
If it weren't for this vicious woman, her mother wouldn't have died so early!
Whenever she thought of everything Wu Lanqin did to her mother, the hatred and venom in Dongfang Shu's heart would uncontrollably surge!
She wished she could dismember Wu Lanqin on the spot.
Feeling the intense malice in Dongfang Shu's gaze, Wu Lanqin's heart trembled uncontrollably.
She knew how much Dongfang Shu hated her.
After all, she had tortured Dongfang Shu's mother to a state worse than death; in Wu Lanqin's eyes, Dongfang Shu's mother was even less than a pig or a dog.
Even Dongfang Shu herself had suffered at her hands, and now that she had fallen into Dongfang Shu's grasp, it wasn't hard to imagine what Dongfang Shu would do!
Despite her inner fear and unease, Wu Lanqin forced herself to remain calm and said, "Dongfang Shu, what... what do you want to do?"
"I warn you, don't do anything foolish. I'm the elder, and this is treasonous. Let me go..."
Wu Lanqin's voice trembled with uncontrolled fear.
At this moment, there was no way for Wu Lanqin not to be afraid, knowing that everything she had done made it impossible for Dongfang Shu to let her go!
Additionally, Wu Lanqin was filled with confusion and doubt. Where were Qi Ruohai and Guangling Zi?
Had they all been killed by Ye Xunhuan?
If not, how did she end up in Dongfang Shu's hands?
At that moment, Wu Lanqin was battling Ye Xunhuan, and at the critical moment, even though Guangling Zi and the others saved her, she fell into a coma and was completely unaware of Ao Wuheng's later appearance.
Unbeknownst to her, she ended up in Dongfang Shu's hands entirely because of Ao Wuheng, or rather, because of Qiu Ruoxi!
Initially, Ao Wuheng didn't want to bother with these mundane matters, but Qiu Ruoxi was the eldest lady, and naturally, Ao Wuheng had to obey her orders.
Moreover, Wu Lanqin was of no concern to him.
"Treasonous?" Dongfang Shu coldly scoffed, her face filled with icy frost, "Today, I'll be treasonous, what can you do about it?"
"You..."
"Wu Lanqin, even at this point, you're trying to threaten me. Don't you think you are too conceited?" Dongfang Shu interrupted Wu Lanqin, speaking with an icy disdain.
"What exactly do you want?"
"What do you think I want?" Dongfang Shu's face slowly revealed a trace of hatred.
This hatred seemed to deepen into her bones, into her very blood.
Wu Lanqin didn't speak, but her body started trembling uncontrollably.
She could clearly feel the sharp killing intent emanating from Dongfang Shu.
"I wish I could tear you apart, slice you into pieces!" Dongfang Shu said through gritted teeth, staring at Wu Lanqin, "But that won't quench the hatred in my heart!"
"So, I'll let you live, live a life worse than death!"
Upon hearing these incredibly vicious words from Dongfang Shu, Wu Lanqin felt as though she was plunged into an icy abyss, the cold seeping into her heart, spreading through her body, filling every corner.
"You... you..."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I need you alive!" Dongfang Shu coldly said, "I will break each of your fingers and toes, then have them reattached, and continue breaking them!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Shu's words, Wu Lanqin trembled even more violently, shaking uncontrollably like a leaf in the wind.
Breaking fingers and toes, then reattaching them to break again would surely make someone wish for death!
"If you dare to do this, the Dongfang family won't spare you..."
"I never planned to spare the Dongfang family either!" Dongfang Shu said heavily, "I'll make all of you kneel in front of my mother's grave to repent, using your blood to pay tribute to her!"
"Especially you, Wu Lanqin, you more than anyone should repent at my mother's grave."
Saying this, Dongfang Shu began to walk step by step towards Wu Lanqin.
Seeing Dongfang Shu approaching her, Wu Lanqin's body trembled even more, her face turning pale, eyes unable to hide the fear.
Under Wu Lanqin's gaze, Dongfang Shu slowly approached the cage, opened the door, and stepped inside.
As Wu Lanqin's hands and feet were tightly locked with iron chains, she was unable to move or stop Dongfang Shu. She could only watch Dongfang Shu approach her step by step.
"What... do you intend to do..."
Dongfang Shu didn't answer Wu Lanqin but directly reached out and grabbed Wu Lanqin's hand.
The next moment, Dongfang Shu pinched one of Wu Lanqin's fingers, "This is just the beginning!"
As the words fell, Dongfang Shu's right hand abruptly exerted force, breaking Wu Lanqin's finger!
"Ah..."
A painful wail instantly resounded around the area.
As the saying goes, ten fingers connected to the heart; now, with a finger broken by Dongfang Shu, the sharp pain was imaginable.
Soon, beads of sweat began forming on Wu Lanqin's forehead.
At that moment, Dongfang Shu, as if performing a magic trick, suddenly produced a dagger in her right hand.
Seeing the dagger in Dongfang Shu's hand, Wu Lanqin seemed to momentarily forget the pain from her broken finger, staring at Dongfang Shu in sheer terror!
"What... do you intend to do?"
A cruel smile gradually formed on Dongfang Shu's face, "Do you think your face is very beautiful?"
Realizing something, Wu Lanqin immediately screamed, "You little wretch, kill me, if you have the guts, kill me..."
"What do you think would happen if I put a few scars on your face?" Dongfang Shu said with a face full of cruelty!
"You..."
The next moment, Dongfang Shu swiftly lifted her hand, and the dagger sliced across Wu Lanqin's face!
"No..."
"Pfft!"
The sharp dagger left a bloody wound on Wu Lanqin's face, but that wasn't the end; Dongfang Shu immediately carved another slice across Wu Lanqin's face!
"Pfft!"
Another bloody wound appeared on her face, causing Wu Lanqin to scream in agony, cursing Dongfang Shu madly.
There isn't a woman in this world who doesn't care about her appearance, and Wu Lanqin is no exception.
Especially for a proud woman, her appearance is of utmost importance.
Now, Dongfang Shu was fully intent on disfiguring her, which was far more torturous than death itself.
After slashing Wu Lanqin's face seven times, Dongfang Shu stopped, "I'll slowly repay you for everything you did to my mother and me!"
Killing Wu Lanqin would be too easy; Dongfang Shu would never allow her such an easy death.
