I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 182 Experiment

Fei Xi knew in her heart that the person in front of her was definitely not a good person.

Although Qiu Shuying would not kill her easily, she was not naive enough to think that the other party would treat her well because she was of use to them.

This person enjoys watching others suffer, especially by lifting someone up high and then suddenly slamming them down.

Enjoying the despair of those who are being manipulated is a hobby that Chiu Shu-ying finds endlessly fascinating.

If you don't want to be manipulated by her, you naturally have to take the initiative.

Evil people never feel that they have done anything wrong; the world is wrong, and it has nothing to do with them.

Fei Xi knew that pandering to Qiu Shuying would only lead to her death, while resisting her would only result in her dying even faster and more tragically, just like the people on the ground.

So she set a bottom line, making sure that what she was willing to risk her life for was something the other person would never touch.

I've always felt that the world can't understand evil people, yet they can have a strange reaction to this subtle acceptance within the bounds of morality.

Of course, Fei Xi has no particular fetishes.

Since Qiu Shuying is alive now, it must have been her accomplices who rescued her in Linhai Valley. Perhaps this person is in this underground palace right now.

What Qiu Shuying just said was that she saved herself from the hands of evil people.

Could this villain be referring to Lu Yun Chu, the senior brother she saw outside the cave?

If I'm not mistaken, the deadly trap set for Bian Yuan in the cave was orchestrated by her cheap senior brother.

However, it was Qiu Shuying who instigated Lian Duhan to lure Bian Yuan into the cave.

Now she's in Qiu Shuying's hands, and Qiu Shuying calls her a villain. She was rescued by Qiu Shuying from the villain; she's Qiu Shuying's savior.

Regardless of whether Qiu Shuying's words were true or false, she knew that Qiu Shuying and Lu Yun Chu were indeed not on the same path.

So, could it be that person has reached a cooperation agreement with Qiu Shuying?

This led to the conspiracy of multiple parties working together to put Bian Yuan to death.

As she pondered this, Fei Xi sensed something was amiss.

Strangely enough, from the moment she woke up until now, she had no idea how long she had been unconscious. But she roughly estimated that it would take at least two days to get from the sea to this underground palace.

Despite being unconscious for so long, she didn't feel hungry at all, and there was a faint sweet taste in her mouth.

Furthermore, when she woke up, she found herself all alone; the old man, Tang Huaiyi, and the others had all vanished without a trace.

I wonder if they also fell into Qiu Shuying's hands.

“Sister, I remember before I lost consciousness, I was swept away by a giant wave. When that villain hit the wave, he even smiled at me. Was the giant wave the work of that villain? How did he do it? I wonder if my junior brother who was with me is still alive.” Fei Xi said, then sighed again, clutching her chest, her face filled with sorrow.

“Poor child, I thought you wouldn’t dare to ask.”

Qiu Shuying stopped and turned around. With a half-smile, she reached out and wiped away the tears that were about to fall from Fei Xi's eyes.

"Besides you, I did manage to snatch someone else from that villain. Let's come in first and talk about it later."

Qiu Shuying led her to a door.

Upon closer inspection, Fei Xi realized that the door in front of her was one of the doors she had seen before that she couldn't push open.

After Qiu Shuying inserted a key into the eye of a mural on the right, the door slowly opened in front of her.

Behind the door, a scene that seemed familiar appeared before Fei Xi's eyes. After just one glance, she felt her stomach churn and almost vomit.

Inside the spacious room, hundreds of iron chains, each as thick as a baby's arm, hung from the gilded dome.

Each chain had a person attached to its end.

These people were all immersed in large vats, their bodies submerged in an unknown liquid, with only their heads and necks suspended by iron chains, making them look both bizarre and terrifying.

Fei Xi suppressed her nausea and walked towards the large vat, observing it as she went.

Most of the people inside the large vat were still alive; some were weeping blood, gazing at her with muffled cries; others had their eyes closed, their fates unknown. But several were clearly dead, their bodies already beginning to stiffen.

Fei Xi noticed that the liquid in the jar was pale yellow and clear, like wine, and not cloudy.

This allowed her to clearly see the condition of the body in the liquid.

These people all have varying degrees of disability; some are even missing half of their flesh and blood, with their internal organs floating in the liquid.

Before Fei Xi could say anything, three "clap" sounds were heard. Qiu Shuying clapped her hands three times, and several people came in from outside, taking the dead bodies out of the vat.

"This is my secret recipe for a revitalizing soup. Sister, you should know that all these people have survived until now thanks to this soup. It's a pity that a few of them have died because of their bad luck."

With a slightly coquettish voice, it was as if she were saying how a foolish doll could break so easily after being played with, revealing a kind of naive cruelty.

However, Fei Xi knew perfectly well that Qiu Shuying was doing it on purpose.

These people were clearly tortured to this extent by her, yet she believed that since the victims were alive, they should at least kowtow to her, the perpetrator.

Fei Xi remained silent, gazing calmly at Qiu Shuying.

One of them smiled even more brightly, while the other remained silent.

It looked like a demoness deliberately teasing a serene monk who remained unmoved; seemingly passionate, but in reality, they were both secretly vying for their lives.

As they were facing each other, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes but covered in tattered and filthy clothes suddenly rushed out from the room at the end of the water tank.

The man had messy short blond hair, a high nose bridge, and deep-set brow bones, clearly indicating that he was a person of a different race.

His left foot was chained, and he could not move forward even an inch because of the chain's length when he was halfway there.

The man, unable to move, was filled with rage. Upon seeing Qiu Shuying, he roared like a red-eyed calf.

"You demon, you shameless and despicable slut, how dare you spout such nonsense! I saw with my own eyes that you were the one who tortured them until they were neither human nor ghost!"

"Let me out right now! My father will not let you get away with this! If you let me go, I'll have my father give you a quick death!"

Who is your father?

"And who are you? I am Yaro, the only son of the King of Us, you..."

Before Yaro could finish his sentence, he was kicked against the wall.

After kicking, the owner of the foot, without caring whether Yaro, who had fallen from the wall, was alive or dead, stepped forward, took Fei Xi's hand, and pulled her inside:

"Ignore that naughty little bug. Sister, come with me."

Soon, Fei Xi was pulled into the inner room.

The room inside was a pharmacy, with rosewood medicine cabinets neatly arranged on all four walls.

In the center of the room stood a nine-dragon purple-gold incense burner, as tall as a person. To the left of the burner were several tables with various tools for processing medicines, while to the right were some cages covered with black cloth, their contents unknown.

Qiu Shuying dragged Fei Xi to a square table and pressed her down to sit.

He then rummaged through the medicine cabinet and finally took out two porcelain bottles and a medicine jar, handing them to her.

Fei Xi took the item, and without needing any instructions, opened the medicine bottle, sniffed it, and then took the medicine according to the dosage.

Then, she opened the medicine jar, intending to apply ointment to the injured area, when a pair of slender hands pressed down on her hand.

Seeing that she took the medicine readily and was so sensible, the other party seemed to be in a good mood and prepared to apply the medicine for her personally.

"How pitiful, such a fair and delicate face can't have any scars left."

My face was gently stroked, and the cool touch spread across my skin along my fingertips. The ointment quickly took effect, and the swollen and painful area gradually became less painful.

But Qiu Shuying seemed to have doubts about the quality of the ointment. As she applied the ointment to Fei Xi's face for the third time, as if painting a wall, Fei Xi interrupted her:

"Those human urns outside, sister, are you trying to simulate immortals? Why are they immortal?"
