Her eyes were still so enchanting, but now Yan Li only felt bone-chilling coldness. This was a woman he had never met before. Compared to her, Yu Youwei's methods were nothing. He had never hated a person so much, let alone such a beautiful woman.
Her hands were very cold, not the kind of coldness that was specially created by a method. Her body temperature seemed different from that of ordinary people. Being held by such a pair of hands, one could imagine the feeling of a dead person holding you, but it was definitely not as ecstatic as he had imagined.
He struggled to break free and said through gritted teeth, "You turned me into a demon now, aren't you afraid that I'll betray you?"
"Oh?" Li Hongzhuang said.
Yan Li said angrily, "The Black Blood Curse can't control me. I can tell everything to True Lord of Mountain and Sea. Even if I really become a demon, as long as I report it, they won't be able to distinguish right from wrong and kill me."
Li Hongzhuang seemed to be more interested in his body than his words. She didn't have any of the restraint that a woman should have. She pulled open his neatly dressed shirt with interest and said, "You won't."
Yan Li wanted to retreat, but he couldn't move because of an invisible force field, so he could only struggle angrily. "How can you be so sure?"
"If you choose the standpoint of the Immortal World, you'll definitely live a life worse than death." Li Hongzhuang's tone carried an indescribable joy. "The human race is best at being ungrateful, and the eternal classic of 'those who are not of our race must be of a different mind' is even more so. You'll be persecuted by your peers, despised by your elders, and even hunted by the radicals. Ah, right … "
She slightly widened her eyes. "You still don't know what the Four Nine Punishments are, right? It's a punishment jointly established by the Nine Schools of Confucian orthodoxy and carried out by the Five Elements Court. If you make a small mistake, you'll be tied to the execution platform with the crime of 'those who are not of our race must be of a different mind'. You'll suffer the ninety-nine Soul-mourning Nails and ninety-nine bolts of Purple Sun Divine Thunder, which will destroy your soul. There'll be no chance for you to reincarnate and 'harm' them again. "
"That's still better than being enslaved by you!" Yan Li shouted fiercely.
"If you can't control your temper, you won't be able to think calmly at crucial moments." Li Hongzhuang said casually. Suddenly, he flicked his finger, and a drop of dark red blood seeped into Yan Li's body.
"Ahhh —"
Yan Li felt as if a ball of magma had been forcefully stuffed into his body. It was hot and manic, burning, and clamoring. Moreover, it seemed as if even his bones were affected. The heart-wrenching pain caused him to roll around on the ground as he screamed without end.
He didn't know how long he had been tortured. When he thought that three days and three nights had passed, he opened his eyes again. The water in the bucket next to him was still steaming, indicating that it hadn't been that long.
"Your will is under my control. You can only be angry if I make you angry. Do you understand?" Li Hongzhuang pulled a chair over and sat down.
"In your dreams!" Yan Li stared coldly at Li Hongzhuang.
"Haven't you suffered enough?" Li Hongzhuang said as he fired three consecutive shots.
Seeing the three drops of dark red blood shooting towards him, Yan Li recalled the feeling just now. He desperately wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. The instant of pain was like being repeatedly crushed by a giant. The places that were crushed were clearly about to be pulverized, but the next time they were crushed, they would become even finer.
When he endured it, his entire body was drenched in cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"Is this … all you've got …" He still stubbornly raised his head, although he could no longer put on any expression.
"What are you holding on for? You'll die," Li Hongzhuang said softly. Suddenly, thousands of drops of blood floated in front of him. They were so densely packed that it was shocking.
Yan Li forced his eyelids open. "There are many ways … to make someone … submit … You chose the worst …"
"But it's also the fastest." Li Hongzhuang smiled sweetly. With a wave of her hand, thousands of drops of blood rushed towards Yan Li.
But suddenly, she waved her hand again, and the drops of blood stopped. "Forget it, you won't be able to withstand it."
She began to smile happily again. "I forgot to tell you, even if you become a demon, the Black Blood Curse will still work. However, if it's not triggered, it will sleep in your body forever. Be obedient, and I'll let you live comfortably. "
Yan Li's heart instantly turned cold. Li Hongzhuang had no fear at all. Her resistance from the beginning until now was futile.
"Stand up," Li Hongzhuang said.
Yan Li stood up numbly. If he wanted to live, there was no point in resisting.
Li Hongzhuang flipped her palm, and a heart so red it was almost black appeared. It was a real heart, but it had already solidified into a crystal, so it was smaller than a normal heart.
"This is a Demon Seed. It can make you mine. You have to be obedient, and I'll make you very comfortable. "
Before Yan Li had time to think about how to use this thing, Li Hongzhuang's hand had already reached over. Her slender fingers lightly drew a circle on his chest, as if she was teasing him. But where she drew, a line of blood slowly appeared.
"You … …"
The line of blood was violently pushed open by an invisible force, revealing the bloody heart inside.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Li Hongzhuang giggled, then pressed the crystal heart directly onto it.
The crystal heart immediately grew tentacles and wrapped around Yan Li's heart.
Thump thump!
The sound was strong and forceful, like the beating of a drum. Yan Li was dumbfounded from the beating.
He had been injured countless times, but had never had his heart dug out.
The Demon Seed's crude and simple method of "planting" symbolized the demon race's belief in violence and power.
Someone else's heart was wrapped around his heart?
His chest that had been dug open naturally bled profusely.
Yan Li began to feel dizzy from the loss of blood. But he suddenly became clear-headed, because the crystal heart was constantly using its tentacles to transport dark red blood into his heart, joining his blood circulation.
Amidst the intense pain, he suddenly felt a numbing itch. He subconsciously looked down, and to his horror, discovered that the two hearts were actually gradually fusing.
… …
Yan Li felt all the blood in his body burning, as if he was in a sea of hellfire. The heat made it difficult for him to breathe, but there was an exceptionally powerful power emanating from within him.
Without any visible movement, he bounced up from the ground with a bang. His clothes had long since disappeared, and he was even more muscular than before. The cold wind blew in through the window, but he didn't feel cold at all. He rubbed his undamaged chest. If it weren't for Li Hongzhuang looking at him with a faint smile, he would definitely have thought that what had just happened was an illusion created by her.
"How do you feel now?" Li Hongzhuang asked.
Yan Li clenched his fists and said word by word, "I feel like I can blow your head apart with one punch!"
