Chapter 2045: Her Rage (3)
Lu Wu looked furious. The mussel’s little body was not only covered with many fine needles, but there were also festering wounds and blisters.
The mussel was particular with its neat appearance. It liked to wear little robes, exposing its cute, tiny limbs. Anyone would definitely want to hug it as soon as they saw it. At the moment, only its face was still intact. The rest of its body was all injured.
Also, the mussel used to be quite chubby. Now, its body was reduced to nothing but a skeleton. Its face was no longer big and chubby. Instead, it looked skinny and oval, like all of the water content in its body had been evaporated.
The mussel was clearly in great agony, so much so that it wanted to twist about in pain. It looked at Gu Xijiu with innocent eyes. Tears started to roll in its eyes, but it tried hard to hold them back.
"If you are in pain, cry it out." Quickly, Gu Xijiu applied some medicine on its body. "I will not laugh at you," she comforted.
The mussel thus burst into loud sobs.
In the past three days of suffering, death came across as its final wish so many times. However, it wanted to live long enough to see its master again. It did not want to bear the grudge by becoming a scapegoat. If it died, there would be no witness. Such a blind spot would put its master into trouble. Therefore, it tried its best to stay alive. Nonetheless, it was very concerned about its safety, for it was worried that the four men would kill it anytime.
Now, it finally got to see its master again. Utterly relieved, knowing that it was safe, it started to cry like a baby.
