Chapter 348 - 198: A Small Plan! She Is Just My Sister!_2
The serious way Han Mei talks is truly captivating; she naturally didn’t mean to say it like this, but the cost of violating the laws of the Great Tang Prison is terrifying.
The laws of the Great Tang Prison have a "retaliatory" feel; in some slightly more lenient places that emphasize so-called humanistic care, there might not even be a death penalty. In a typical city like Jiangzhou City, while the death penalty exists along with many terrifying punishments, such punishments are rarely used; the most common is beheading.
But the Great Tang Prison is different. As long as you violate any requirement of the Great Tang Prison, even if it’s just an impulse that leads you to steal a chive flower from someone else’s house, it’s still a death penalty. And it’s not as simple as beheading; even when it’s a death sentence, what the Great Tang Prison uses most is waist execution.
Beheading versus waisting — naturally, the latter is far more terrifying. You must know that a waist cut doesn’t immediately kill you, but your mind is already aware of impending death. Struggling back and forth on the edge of life and death is a truly horrifying state.
Of course, there are other "retaliatory" punishments that Han Ming doesn’t even dare to think about. Unfortunately, he saw it once as a child, which made him realize that in such a state, a person can exhibit a state of "madness," a genuine meaning of being unable to live or die willingly.
"Fine, if we shouldn’t talk about it, let’s not."
"Yes, don’t ask about anything regarding the Great Tang Prison. The Great Tang Prison doesn’t want to be known by people. We don’t want to be exposed and known by many; just knowing that the Great Tang Prison’s existence is to fundamentally stop the cultivators’ wrongdoings is enough. No need to know too much."
"Understood."
Yuchi looked at Han Mei profoundly, a look clearly reflecting fear in her eyes; this is a special kind of fear under power, so the Great Tang Prison probably has a set of intriguing strategies.
It’s just that your Great Tang Prison seems a bit two-faced, talking about stopping cultivators’ wrongs, yet when it comes to my Yuchi’s issues, you deal with that Cloud Descending Sect, an assassin sect like that. Not only do you turn a blind eye, but you also give them gold and silver to not come and kill me?
What does this mean?
It’s like someone saying they see no evil while compromising with evil at the same time. Is it because you’re inherently indecisive, or is the evil led by Cloud Descending Sect too terrifying for even someone like the Great Tang Prison to handle?
Interesting.
Is the cruelty of this world slowly being unveiled? Yuchi suddenly laughed, turning to Han Mei and said, "Ming’Er, are you planning to leave in a hurry again this time? Last time, I couldn’t watch the sunrise with you the next day..."
Han Mei immediately became unhappy. Yuchi’s better off not mentioning it; a mention of it brought on a little temper immediately. Staring at Yuchi’s face, she bit her lip and said with an aggrieved pout, "President Yuchi, do you have the nerve to say that? Some time ago, when I was having dinner with you in the inn, you vanished the moment you started eating! I didn’t leave you; you left me!!!"
Such a huge grievance, little beauty, your focus is a bit different, isn’t there a strong sense of melancholy?
"I was wrong; I’ll punish myself with three drinks!"
Looking very regretful, Yuchi waited until Han Mei seemed slightly satisfied before he continued, "Tonight then, tonight let’s go enjoy the lanterns together."
Yes, that’s exactly what Yuchi used to disdain — those men and women drifting on boats in a small river.
"Alright, alright."
Han Mei didn’t have any intention of refusing; after seeing Yuchi’s bright smile, she seemed unwilling again, unable to resist suddenly saying, "President Yuchi, would you be angry if I said something truthful?"
"Of course not," Yuchi replied with a smile.
"That’s good then..."
Han Mei adjusted her appearance slightly awkwardly and cautiously said:
"I feel that the two of us are unlikely to be together; it’s not simply my arrogance or anything else, but because, after all, I am someone from the Great Tang Prison. Even if one day I very much love you and want to be with you, the reality is that I can never leave the Great Tang Prison. If I can’t leave the Great Tang Prison, what can I use to love you?"
Yuchi unexpectedly looked at the golden-armored woman in front of him. He didn’t expect her to say something like this all of a sudden.
Han Ming, seeing Yuchi didn’t look angry, felt a bit relieved. The Prison Director asked her to build a good relationship with Yuchi, and of course, she had to carry out the Prison Director’s arrangements; the Prison Director’s arrangements are the arrangements of the Great Tang Prison. But is she really just a clueless little girl?
Of course not.
She has practiced for many years, even though she hasn’t experienced the matters between men and women, she still knows how these things go. Looking at Yuchi, she spoke directly:
"I don’t know if you’re pursuing me because of my position or simply because you like my image, which isn’t a problem."
"But purely from a friend’s perspective, I would not advise you to pursue me under any circumstances..."
"It’s not that I inherently look down on mortals or others. I, too, climbed up step by step from being a mortal. The main reason is... the Great Tang Prison is too powerful; mortals can’t gain any advantage in front of the Great Tang Prison. Don’t wait until you’re stuck in the quagmire to wake up..."
