Hearing the magistrate's words, Xing Jue urged anxiously. Seeing how anxious Xing Jue and General Zhao were, the magistrate did not dare to hesitate at all. He hurriedly brought Xing Jue to the county office's prison.
Compared to the Tianji Battalion's prison, the county office's prison was extremely simple. The walls were simple, the boundary was simple, and the defense was also very loose. Of course, for the prisoners imprisoned here, this might be enough.
The county office's prison was very small. After Xing Jue and the others entered, they quickly walked to the deepest part of the prison. Behind the simple boundary iron door in front of them was the most secure room in the prison.
Because in this prison, other than this prison cell which had an airtight boundary iron door, the other rooms only had iron railings. This kind of prison cell was more convenient for the yamen runners to deliver food to the prisoners and observe them. Of course, this kind of door had the worst defense.
After the only Spirit Formation iron door in the prison cell opened, Xing Execution was stupefied by the scene in front of him. He astonishedly discovered that there was a young lady in the prime of her youth tied up by thick iron chains in the prison cell.
At this moment, the young girl's long hair had already covered her face, and her delicate body was covered with several bloody wounds. Looking at the long whips placed in the cell, one could tell that these wounds were all caused by the bailiffs here.
* Pa *
Suddenly, Xing Jue waved his arm, and his powerful palm fiercely slapped the county magistrate's chubby face. After the slap, the county magistrate spun three times on the spot, and then sat on the ground in a daze. At this moment, he was already seeing stars, and he even forgot the pain on his face.
"How could you hit such a young girl? Put her down immediately!"
After giving the county magistrate a loud slap, Xing Jue shouted at the yamen runners in the prison cell. Not only was his voice loud, it was also filled with Xing Jue's anger, causing all the yamen runners to tremble.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Seeing this, the yamen runners, who were so scared that their mouths were blurry, did not dare to hesitate at all. They hurriedly used their trembling hands to untie the chains on the young girl.
"Ahh ~" At this moment, perhaps because the yamen runners had touched her wounds, the young girl suddenly let out a weak cry.
"Scram!" Seeing this, Xing Jue dragged the clumsy yamen runners to the side, and personally untied the chains on the young girl.
After untiing the chains on the young girl, Xing Jue carried her to the bed where the yamen runners rested, and took out a low-grade Heaven Pill to treat her injuries.
When everyone saw the low-grade Heaven Pill in Xing Jue's hand, even General Zhao could not help but gasp. This pill was extremely precious even in the Tianji Battalion, but Xing Jue did not hesitate to give it to someone he did not know. This was a little too generous. At the very least, they would not do this if they were in Xing Jue's shoes.
"This!!!"
But just as Xing Jue brushed aside the young girl's long hair that covered her face, Xing Jue's expression instantly froze. This was because he was shocked to find that the young girl's face was covered in all sorts of scars.
There were burns, whip wounds, and stab wounds. These scars layered on top of each other, completely destroying the young girl's appearance. She was beyond recognition, and even her facial features could not be clearly seen.
However, these scars were not caused by the yamen runners, because they were scars accumulated over the years. After taking a closer look, Xing Jue discovered that not only her face, but her body was also covered in countless scars. It was just that these old scars were covered by the bloody whip wounds.
"This young girl, what exactly did she go through?"
At this moment, Xing Jue was deeply shocked by the scars on the young girl's face. He could not imagine how a young girl who was the same age as Princess Xin Xin could endure such pain. Most importantly, she only had the strength of a Battle-Saint.
Buzz.
Suddenly, Xing Jue put the heaven-grade pill in his hand back into the Soul Devouring Order. Accompanied by a faint flash of light from the Soul Devouring Order, a high-grade Heaven pill actually appeared in Xing Jue's hand.
As a person's strength increased, the effect of the pill would become weaker. Back when Xing Jue was at the Martial God level, an Earth-grade pill could bring him back to life.
However, a heaven-grade pill could only help the young girl recover faster, but it would be very difficult to remove the accumulated scars. However, the high-grade heaven-grade pill in Xing Jue's hand could do it.
For some reason, when Xing Jue saw this young girl for the first time, he was sure that she was not a bad person. Although Xing Jue only had a dozen of this high-grade heaven-grade pill, Xing Jue was willing to lose one for this young girl, because this … was Xing Jue!
The speed at which Xing Jue exchanged for the pill was very fast, so fast that even General Zhao did not notice his actions. Of course, General Zhao was also deeply moved by the scars on the young girl's face, so he did not pay too much attention to the small movements of Xing Jue's hands.
"Buzz"
When the pill was infused into the young girl's body by Xing Jue with a gentle aura and refined it for her, the young girl's body began to shine with a dazzling purple light. This purple light began to fill the entire prison, and it was so bright that everyone could not open their eyes.
"Buzz ~"
However, very quickly, the purple light began to condense again. In the end, it actually condensed into a crystal-like body of light that covered the surface of the young girl's body. When the crystal-like body of light disappeared, everyone was completely stunned by the scene in front of them.
This was because they were shocked to find that not a single scar could be seen on the young girl who was previously covered in scars. Her skin was as clear as jade and as white as snow.
The most important thing was her exquisite face. Although it couldn't be said to be an outstanding beauty, it gave others an extremely comfortable feeling. If one had to use a word to describe her face, it would be pure, innocent, and clean like a piece of white paper.
"Heavens, this pill is too magical. It actually has such a miraculous effect on a Battle-Saint?"
Looking at the young girl in front of him, even the experienced and knowledgeable General Zhao couldn't help but be shocked. At this moment, he suspected that he had misjudged the pill in Xing Jue's hand. This was because his intuition told him that even if it was a heaven-grade pill, if it was only a low-grade pill, it definitely wouldn't have such a miraculous effect. Of course, it wasn't that he misjudged. It was that Xing Jue secretly swapped the pill when he wasn't paying attention.
"Eh"
At this moment, the young girl's slender eyelashes slightly trembled. Then, under everyone's tightly locked gazes, she slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of exquisite eyes.
However, when everyone saw her eyes, including Xing Jue, they were all shocked because they discovered that the young girl's eyes were actually blood red.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I beg you, I beg you, don't hit me, I don't know anything, I don't know anything!"
However, just when everyone was shocked by the young girl's blood red eyes, the young girl suddenly curled up her body. She used her hands to hold her head while trembling uncontrollably. She wanted nothing more than to hide under the bed.
"Look at what you've done!" Seeing the young girl's terrified expression, Xing Jue turned around and loudly scolded the bailiffs behind him as well as the county magistrate who had just turned around.
"Lord, Lord, this really isn't our fault."
"She was already like this when we first saw her. It wasn't us who hit her. At that time, she kept begging you, don't hit me, please don't hit me!" Seeing that Xing Jue was enraged again, the county magistrate and the bailiffs knelt on the ground and cried out in grievance.
After hearing the words of the constables, Xing Jue Jue's expression changed. She then looked at the curled up young girl with sympathy. She could imagine that before she was brought here, the young girl must have been in an even more tragic state. She must have been in so much pain that she wished she was dead.
"Get out!"
However, after that, Xing Jue still loudly scolded the bailiffs because even though they knew that the young girl's experience was extremely tragic, they still wanted to kill her. It could be seen that their conscience had been eaten by dogs. If they weren't officials of the dynasty, Xing Jue would have already beaten them until they were half crippled.
"Lord Xing Jue, this girl must have suffered a great shock and her mind is no longer normal, right?" Lei Xing, who had been watching from the side, guessed.
"No, after taking my pill, even if her mind was injured, she can still recover. Now, she just needs to get rid of the psychological barrier and needs psychological treatment!"
"All of you leave, let me accompany her alone." Xing Jue waved his hand at Lei Xing and the others, indicating for them to leave first.
"Lord Xing Jue, this young girl's blood-red eyes are very strange. If you stay alone, I'm afraid …" Seeing that Xing Jue wanted them to leave, General Zhao became slightly worried. No matter how innocent the young girl's face was, her blood-red eyes were too strange and made people feel uneasy.
"Don't worry, General Zhao. If she was really that scary, she wouldn't be in such a state." Facing General Zhao's worry, Xing Jue smiled faintly, indicating that there was no need to worry.
"Alright then."
Seeing that Xing Jue insisted on staying alone, General Zhao did not say anything else. Instead, he took another look at the shivering young girl, who was curled up on the bed, and turned to leave.
"Wait." Just as Lei Xing and the others walked out of the prison and were about to close the metal door, Xing Jue suddenly said, "Wait."
"Later, ask that dog-headed county magistrate to send more delicious food over. Oh yes, make more desserts!"
However, just when everyone thought that Xing Jue had something important to say, Xing Jue said to everyone with a faint smile on his face. Then, he turned around and cast his gentle gaze towards the young girl with blood-red eyes.
