Chapter 1939: Chapter 1939: Do you like her?

So, he grabbed Lin Caihe by the scalp and dragged her to the ground, hanging the iron chains on her wrists over the iron nails on the pillar.

At this height, Lin Caihe could barely reach it by standing on tiptoes.

He stuffed the sweat towel hanging nearby into Lin Caihe’s mouth, then picked up his whip from the side.

"Mmm, mmm-mmm."

Lin Caihe, seeing the whip, widened her eyes in terror and shook her head desperately while sobbing.

Even before the whip had struck her, large tears were already falling.

...

In the elderly couple’s home, after having coaxed his wife to sleep, Sui Zimo stood in the courtyard listening to Zhe Jue report on Lin Caihe’s situation with that idiot.

"Master, this is the situation, what do you think, should we..." help out?

He thought that if his mistress knew about Lin Caihe’s suffering in the idiot’s home, worse than an animal’s, she would likely soften her heart, wouldn’t she?

So he looked at his own master and couldn’t help but add the extra question.

However, before he could finish, he felt the cold glare from his master, like a knife piercing through him, which scared him into swallowing his remaining words.

"Master..."

"Do you like her?" Sui Zimo asked coldly.

Zhe Jue: "..."

He wasn’t foolish enough to fancy Lin Caihe, that madwoman. That would only be seeking punishment.

"No, not at all."

He shook his head quickly, fearing that any delay in denial would lead his master to arrange a dreadful marriage for him, which would ruin his life completely.

"How could I possibly like that woman, Master? I’m wrongly accused."

"Since you don’t like her, did she give you silver?" Sui Zimo asked with a raised eyebrow.

Zhe Jue: "!!!"

He had come to understand that his master held a grudge against Lin Caihe!

It was her own fault for trying to attract attention in front of their mistress and for liking their master, as if she were worthy.

"Master, I think that even if Lin Caihe were to die, it would be her own doing, not the fault of others. We’ll be setting off to the Illusion Continent soon. Better to avoid extra troubles.

Also, regarding Lin Caihe’s matter... perhaps it’s not necessary to mention it... in front of the mistress?"

After speaking, he cautiously observed his master, and finally, he saw the terrifying look on his master’s face ease.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

"You go and send a message, have our men send some people here to keep an eye on that woman. Don’t let her leave the village by even a half step. As long as she doesn’t die, everything else is permissible," Sui Zimo instructed Zhe Jue.

"Yes, Master," Zhe Jue responded promptly.

...

The Illusion Continent, a rare barren place.

"To end up here of all places," Lin Changhong murmured, slightly at a loss for words.

He had heard from his mother that upon entering the Illusion Continent, the place of arrival was quite random, and landing anywhere was possible.

Moreover, even if a group entered at around the same time, they could end up in completely different locations.

Therefore, before coming, they had all held hands, ensuring they wouldn’t be separated upon arrival.

But this place...

It was just too desolate.

"Sangsang, shall we move forward a bit to see if we can encounter anyone?" he asked, turning his head to look at his sister.

"There’s no need. This is the Eastern Wilderness, and not to mention humans, even demons are reluctant to come here," Lin Caisang said, scanning the surroundings and feeling not a hint of life, she spoke up.
