Chapter 255: The Nasty Place and Exposed Lies
The place smelled so nostalgic to Xing whose hands were tied and a jute sack was covering.... More like, she was placed inside a jute sack.
It was the smell of a brothel but it was special as Xing could feel the swaying. The remnants of the incense laced with aphrodisiacs in that place and the constant swaying combined with the thick stench of blood on her clothes, made Xing nauseating and she smelled the kerchief tied to her wrist to get a grip on herself as she is supposed to be fainted.
Minutes before, it was Chenglie who hit her in the back of her head with what felt like a feather to her and he was the one who covered her immediately by the sack and carried her to this boat they are now travelling. He tied her wrist together with his kerchief (loosely) knowing she would be having motion sickness and since he cannot hug her, he left his kerchief that smelled like him with her and it really helped her.
Xing could only feel the swaying of the boat and could not guess if the boat is crossing the river or taking them to some other place in the same shore. With her amazing directional skills she won’t know it even if she is untied so she gave up on thinking hard which direction they are headed.
All she could guess was these houseboats that are used by nobles to have a leisurely stroll in the Quingze river are the ones Shihong is using for this irky ’business’ and she felt irked to be there and her nasuating sensation only got worse.
"Hey, wolf! Should we cut this bitch’s hair? I bet boss would be pleased", a man’s sneer made Xing open her eyes in astonishment.
Too bad dude! You’ve crossed all the lines with my Prince! You’ve called me names, you’ve asked my husband to cut my hair to shame me and you brought up your boss whom he hates in the same sentence.
Death... Confirmed!
Before Xing even finished her thought process, she could hear some splashing noise and some happy, smashing sounds from a couple of crocodiles.
He... He...he..! Xing laughed evily inside her head.
Fed him to the crocodiles! Not bad, hubby! But didn’t know there were crocodiles in the Quingze river! Want to see them!
There were some voices of opposition starting to appear from inside the boat from the other couple of men who were with them and it trailed off. Xing could see in her mind the cold look of Chenglie that froze those two who wanted to oppose his decision.
