Capítulo 41

The man in black robes was startled, but the thing was moving too fast, and there was no time to stop it.

"careful……"

"Lord Kabuki..."

The object had covered Kabuki's face, but instead of splattering blood as they had guessed, it felt light and airy. Kabuki, with a blank expression, pulled the red object off her head, clutching it tightly in her hand, momentarily confused.

What's this?

The man in black robes recognized him, but he couldn't bear it and turned his face away.

My lord, that thing... should be called... a bellyband.

Hua Jiuye crossed her arms and said coldly, "Smell it."

Ge Chui frowned and sniffed; it smelled faintly of perfume, nothing else.

Hua Jiuye stretched his limbs, a dangerous and sinister smile spreading across his face. "Your sense of smell isn't that good, is it? Then tell me, where is he?"

The singers raised their inquisitive eyes.

The men in black robes rubbed their foreheads, hesitating to speak: "My lord, this traitor is calling you a dog!"

Chapters 3-5

Hanahiya's feelings towards Utafuki are complex.

Despite the fact that Ge Chui had poisoned him with more than a dozen deadly poisons and kidnapped Shen Zhili, stripping her of all her clothes, including her undergarment, and giving them to him to force him to return to the Southern Frontier, Ge Chui actually had no hostility towards him and had not done anything to actually harm him.

It sounds contradictory, but it is true.

In fact, if it weren't for Gechui's unexpected interest in the Gu Emperor within his body back then, he might not be alive today at all. In a sense, Gechui could even be considered his benefactor.

However, I can't really express any gratitude.

A sneer escaped his lips, and Hua Jiuye's gaze grew even colder.

You can clearly understand what kind of person Ge Chui is by spending three days with him.

He was not greedy for money, power, or women; he had little interest in anything except studying Gu poison.

Perhaps he just wanted to study it, but that didn't stop those Gu poisons from causing him unbearable pain. When the Gu poison took effect, he was in so much pain that he was crying and rolling on the ground, wishing he could die immediately. Hua Jiuye silently closed his slender eyes. Even though his dignity had long been trampled on when he became a prisoner, he still felt ashamed.

He was powerless to resist then, but now, his men will not allow anyone to interfere.

Even if it means burning down southern Xinjiang again, we would not hesitate!

Kabuki seemed to finally understand what Hana Kuya meant, and said calmly, "The person is gone."

Hua Jiuye sneered: "You think you can just leave like that? Where is she anyway?"

Gechui pondered for a moment, then carefully examined Hua Jiuye's expression: "How often does your Gu poison flare up now?"

The next instant, a cold hand was already firmly gripping Kabuki's neck. Hanajiya suddenly exerted force, leaning forward and pushing the unresponsive Kabuki straight into the wall.

The insect flute in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and his back slammed hard against the wall, but Gechui didn't even flinch.

Hua Jiuye's voice rang in my ears, cold and sharp as a knife: "Answer my question, or I can kill you with a single finger."

Many of the men in black robes cried out in alarm, but dared not step forward because of Hua Jiuye.

The words, though difficult to utter, came out of Gechui's throat with little sign of pain: "I don't know."

Hua Jiuye's hand tightened, and a throat bone broke in his hand.

With a shove, Hanako stepped on Kabuki's neck, her eyes gleaming with bloodlust: "If you don't know, then I'll use you as the first sacrifice."

However, in the eyes of the singer, there was still a desolate and hateful silence.

She didn't beg for mercy, didn't break down, and didn't even feel pain. She just quietly looked at him, as if he were an object, or rather, a research subject of a song and dance performance.

Yes, the fans have never treated him like a human being.

Now that everything has come to this, all his close relatives are dead, so who else would truly care about him?

The murderous intent swelled in an instant, carrying a deep, dark, and desperate color, and spread uncontrollably and twisted along the heart.

Kill! Kill this world! Kill this cold and cruel world! Destroy it all!

This world has destroyed him, what's the point of keeping him alive!

The man in black robes kept trying to dissuade him.

"Stop! You can have anything you want, just don't lay a hand on Lady Kabuki!"

"If you dare to kill Lord Gechui, we will make you shattered to pieces, no matter where you are!"

Hua Jiuye let out a laugh, his voice chilling and menacing: "Do you care about him that much?"

With his toes pressed against Gechui's neck, he knew that with just a little force, that fragile neck would snap instantly.

"Then I will..."

The corners of his lips curved into a captivating, almost cruel smile, which, combined with the slanted wound on his face, made him appear exceptionally alluring.

******************************************************************************

At the critical moment!

"Hana Kuya, what are you doing!"

A woman's voice, still slightly breathless, cried out loudly. The clear voice, tinged with a hoarseness, echoed through the air, and there seemed to be a faint echo of an impact.

The man in black robes looked on in astonishment.

A woman dressed as a maid rushed over, lifting her skirt, and then shoved away the murderous Hua Jiuye, who seemed like a god of death and dared not approach her...

The men in black robes turned their faces away in disbelief; blood was likely about to splatter everywhere...

To everyone's surprise, Hana Kuya, who was in a berserk state, actually backed away with that gentle push!

What's going on here?!

Why does the big bad wolf fall over as soon as the little rabbit pushes it?

Before anyone could react, the woman bent down, knelt on one knee, and ran her hand over Gechui's already bleeding neck. She whispered to Gechui, "Don't speak yet, a broken bone is about to pierce your trachea." Then she said to the man in black, "Go prepare a thin knife, charcoal, water, gauze, and..."

Her methodical explanation was convincing.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

After giving his instructions, Shen Zhili carefully tore open Ge Chui's collar, revealing a large expanse of skin. His skin appeared even paler and sickly than his face, causing Shen Zhili to frown. This was hardly a sign of good health.

The initial joy of seeing Shen Zhili was overshadowed by her unreasonable behavior.

Hua Jiuye stumbled a step before she could react, and her gaze toward Shen Zhili turned almost sinister.

A clueless woman is still carefully taking care of the person he wants to kill...

Does this guy even understand the situation?!

What was wrong with him to save this woman who's siding with outsiders?!

But Hua Jiuye didn't realize that in that instant, his killing intent had also unconsciously subsided and faded away.

Upon discovering that Kabuki had no other wounds besides this one, Shen Zhili breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, as if only now noticing Hua Jiuye, and said, "I'm sorry, he didn't do anything to hurt me, so I couldn't just watch you kill him."

Hua Jiu grabbed Shen Zhili's chin impatiently and sneered, "Who said I killed him for you?"

Shen Zhili was stunned for a moment: "Huh?" His previous fierce momentum had completely disappeared.

Looking at that silly face, Hua Jiuye subconsciously reached out and grabbed Shen Zhili's slightly chubby cheeks, kneading and squeezing them, doing whatever he wanted to do, his voice lazy and mocking: "You know nothing but meddle in other people's business, you're really bold! You know absolutely nothing about me and him."

Shen Zhili struggled to break free, but her strength was no match for the other's, and it took her a long time to escape.

Recalling Hana Kuya's words, she exclaimed in shock, "There really is something between you two! But wait, Kabuki clearly said he doesn't like men..."

Hua Jiuye slapped Shen Zhili on the head, saying with exasperation, "What on earth is going on in your head, you idiot!"

Shen Zhili clutched her head, let out a scream, and said indignantly, "It's clearly your own wording that's wrong!"

The black-robed figure, carrying a pile of things, was almost in tears: "Girl, can you please save Lord Kabuki first...?"

You can flirt anytime, but I have a feeling my beloved Gechui is about to pass away...

Shen Zhili coughed, pushed Hua Jiuye aside, stood up straight and took the things. At the same time, his expression turned serious, and the teasing look from before was nowhere to be found.

She is a doctor, and no matter what happens, she has to be responsible for her patients.

Whether or not the patient should be saved at this moment is something to consider after the patient has been saved.

She gave a soft "shush," and the Gu King's Palace fell silent instantly, with only the crackling sound of the charcoal brazier audible.

After carefully inspecting the knife, Shen Zhili heated it over the fire before preparing to cut it.

One of the women in black robes was still somewhat uneasy and asked doubtfully, "Are you really trying to save Lady Kabuki? Is it really necessary to use a knife?" Although she pushed Hanako away and her demeanor seemed convincing, it was still somewhat unbelievable.

Shen Zhili suddenly turned her head, her gaze sharp: "If you want him to die, then interrupt me a few more times!"

She was clearly just a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken, but her black pupils inexplicably gave off an irresistible sense of oppression, cold and sharp, revealing her sharp edge without any attempt to hide it.

Thus, no one dared to interrupt.

Half an hour later, Shen Zhili finished packing her things, washed her hands in the water, stood up and felt a wave of dizziness, almost falling over, but fortunately a hand caught her waist in time.

Hua Jiuye held Shen Zhili in her arms, licked her lips, and looked at Gechui: "Is she alright?"

Shen Zhili nodded.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Jiuye smiled: "Then can I continue killing him?"

Everyone: "..."

Shen Zhili's legs went weak, and she almost lost her balance again. She kept angrily saying, "I finally managed to save you, and you..."

Hua Jiuye thought for a moment and said, "Well, actually I killed him just now for your sake."

Shen Zhili grabbed Hua Jiuye's collar: "He really didn't do anything to me, you don't need to..."

Holding Shen Zhili's hand in return, Hua Jiuye smiled as gently as could be: "I know you've forgiven him, so I asked you to save him, but..." revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, he said, "I never said I forgave him."

Stroking Shen Zhili's head, he said softly, "Those who have harmed you in the Southern Frontier, you must kill them all."

Shen Zhili: "..."

Could you please stop touching me? I'm getting goosebumps all over.
