Chapter 310: Long-Bearded Old Geezer! Master Baoxiang! Jade Altar Blissful Land!
The Xinyi Dao’s sect master, Daoist Bi Chen, was precisely Madam Wang’s foster father.
As for the crude men’s teasing words, had it been an ordinary bride, she would have already blushed scarlet without knowing how to respond. But Madam Wang only let out a tinkling laugh, a sound that made people itch with restless desire.
“Pah! A scholar has tender, delicate skin and flesh, a clever and intricate mind, and speaks with sweet words. They taste the most delicious of all. How could the likes of you compare! What I love most is seeing those heartless scholars’ faces be consumed with terror little by little as they watch their bodies being devoured alive. That is my wicked craving! Don’t try to provoke me, or I’ll swallow and tear you all to pieces.”
Her voice was soft and gentle, dripping with licentious charm. Yet to the gathered heretics, her words made their scalps prickle and chills creep down their spines.
Eating people was, to them, nothing out of the ordinary. But when it came from Madam Wang’s lips, it carried a strange, bone-deep horror.
The three burly men exchanged glances, forced out awkward laughs, and fell silent. Meanwhile, the scholar Cao Xing’s complexion grew even paler, and his eyes were devoid of life.
Earlier, when bewitched and lured here in a daze, he had not felt any fear. But at that moment Madam Wang withdrew the Bewitchment Technique, and Cao Xing felt a shiver run through him. This was a man-eating den of demons, after all!
His legs kept trembling. Facing those cold, mocking gazes, he felt a jolt run from the base of his spine straight to the crown of his head.
My life is over!
Mr. Hua left and then returned, followed by a neat-faced young servant. The servant, too, had a pair of dead fish-like eyes, which seemed extremely out of place.
The boy carried a golden tray. When the red cloth covering it was lifted, a plate of apricot-shaped fruits was revealed. The skins of the fruits gave off a faint, pearly glow. They were the Firefly Fruit, known to be spirit elixirs.
At once everyone revealed hungry looks and held their breath.
