Chapter 1259: Chapter 1259: Lambs to Be Slaughtered

In her past life, she viewed the dwarf as a demon, believing his martial arts to be unfathomable, and she herself was just a lamb awaiting slaughter in his hands.

That scene in the dungeon became a nightmare after her rebirth.

Each time she awoke from a midnight dream, she vividly recalled the hideous face of the dwarf, laughing menacingly while dragging his uneven crippled legs, holding a gleaming dagger, limping towards her mercilessly, cutting slices of flesh from her body. Those who have never experienced it could never know what it means to be heartbroken, to live a life worse than death, or to wander between hell on earth.

Those few days felt as long as a lifetime, enduring the pain of being cut piece by piece, a nightmare she could never erase after her rebirth, especially the moment when her only a few months old daughter, with a face of innocent laughter, was suddenly thrown into a brazier by Situtu Qinger, screaming in agony.

Every time these scenes crossed her mind, it left her breathless with pain.

Hatred surged overwhelmingly through her heart.

"Xuexue, Xuexue, what’s wrong with you?"

Long Rui sensed something was wrong with her and shook her vigorously.

Only then did Xuexue come back to her senses, but her eyes were still bloodshot: "What’s the matter?"

"I’m asking you, you scared me, what happened just now?" Long Rui was deeply hurt, never having seen Xuexue with such immense hatred on her face. What on earth was it? Could it be that someone bullied her?

"Be good, Xuexue, stand here and don’t move." Long Rui moved Xuexue to the side, sitting her under a tree stump.

Before Xuexue could react.

He had already turned to leave, striding over to Zhang San.

Zhang San was tied up and held by several subordinates.

Long Rui approached, saying nothing, yanked out the treasured sword from Long Yi’s waist, and in a flash, pointed it at Zhang San’s face, speaking menacingly, "What exactly did you do to Xuexue yesterday?"

Zhang San, caught off guard, was startled and immediately stammered, "Didn’t... didn’t do anything."

The intention was there, but in the end, they feared causing a death, so they didn’t follow through.

Long Rui looked unconvinced: "Didn’t do anything, how did she end up like that then?"

"I... I don’t know."

"If you don’t be honest, I’ll chop off your damn head." Long Rui showed no patience, his hand shook with the sword as he threatened to thrust it forward...

Frightened, Zhang San trembled all over, wondering which royal family this man in black belonged to, who kept calling himself Prince.

"Spare me, Your Highness, I really don’t know, it’s all because of that damned dwarf. He seemed to have fed her something."

Finally, he closed his eyes and shouted loudly, "The dwarf had the antidote on him."

"Swoosh."

A few inches away.

The tip of the sword stopped just barely.

Zhang San, sweating profusely on his forehead, secretly thanked his lucky stars for having saved his life. His great vengeance had yet to be avenged, he didn’t want to die just yet.

Without waiting for Long Rui to respond, Long Yi quickly stepped to the dwarf’s corpse, searched it thoroughly, and indeed found a small bottle.

"Master!"

Long Yi handed the bottle to Long Rui.

"Mm."

Long Rui gently opened the bottle cap, a fragrant aroma wafted out, he tilted the bottle towards his palm, poured out two pills, swiftly walked to Zhang San, without a word, clutched his jaw tightly, shoved a pill into his mouth, and only released him after watching him swallow it.

Being tied up and forced to swallow the pill by Long Rui, Zhang San felt utterly miserable, unable to say a word.

"What exactly did you make me eat?" Zhang San, being tightly bound, couldn’t induce vomiting even if he wanted to, leaving him anxiously wide-eyed.
