The bitterness of flesh 5

  Stunned, the two maids were almost frightened out of their wits by what happened in an instant. Who would have thought that a prisoner would suddenly counterattack? The speed of his hand was so fast that it was just a flash before their eyes, and then cries of pain rang out one after another.

  Yue Zilan clutched her stomach and lay on the ground, enduring unbearable pain. With great difficulty, she turned her head, weakly gasping: "Still...haven't taken down this woman!"

  "It is... it is...!"

  Two maidservants came forward together, grabbed and held down Lan Ya's arm, with one foot tucked under her knee.

  Lan Ya's kneecap was kicked, and she refused to kneel down. Her maid was pressed down, and her knee pit was constantly being kicked. Even if she struggled again, she couldn't resist and fell to the ground with a "thud".

  "It doesn't feel bad to be beaten, does it?" Lan Ya's heart was angry, but she didn't show it on her face, with a cold smile at the corner of her mouth, staring at Yue Lanzhi who had not yet stood up.

  She hit him hard, and for a while he won't be able to get up!

  Yue's face turned blue with pain, her stomach hurt so badly that she couldn't get up.

  "Come in." she shouted loudly.

  Several guards then entered and upon seeing this situation, their faces flashed with a hint of surprise. They quickly reacted and helped Moonlight Blue up from the ground.

  Yue Zilan was helped up, enduring the pain, and kicked Blue Ya's body with one foot, you damn cheap woman!

  Lan Ya hummed, her black eyes rolling, fiercely pinching Yue Leng's blue clothes. It would be best to beat her to death today; otherwise, she will return it tenfold!

  "Beat her, beat this princess to death!" Moon Blue's voice trembled as she sat down on the stool brought in by the guard, she wanted to see this woman die with her own eyes!

  The guard received the order, holding a whip in his hand. At the same time that the two maidservants let go of Ya Lan, the whip swung out and struck her body with one lash.

  The whip landed on her body with a loud crack, the skin bursting open, but no blood flowed out. Lan Ya's entire body trembled instantly, and the intense pain that penetrated to her bones made her collapse to the ground, her shadow twitching convulsively.

  The whip cracked repeatedly, leaving marks on her body.

  Lan Ya's face was covered in cold sweat, her body suddenly lying on the ground, her icy body convulsing violently, the whip lashing down again and again, yet not a single drop of blood appeared.

  The whip-wielding guard's eyes widened in surprise, his grip tightening further. Lanya had long anticipated this scene; the blood in her body was like sand in an hourglass, and her veins were different from those of a normal person - her blood could seal itself.

  The blood congealed, and the blood on her body didn't circulate, making her whole body turn pale.

  The whip kept falling, wanting to faint, but the onlookers seemed to give her no chance.

  Splash!

  A bucket of cold water poured over the two dying bodies, the cold water invaded, and the two who were about to faint suddenly came to their senses.

  Lanya's eyesight was a bit blurry, but she could still see the ferocity and complacency on Blue Moon's face, that face made her disgusted!

  The whip was stained with chili water, more vicious than any instrument of torture. One lash, another lash, and there wasn't a single unblemished spot left on her body.

  The executioner's guard, with a vicious expression on his face, swung it at her head.

  Lan Ya's blurred vision, reflected in the whip, the falling whip getting closer and closer to her eyes, this one whip, towards her eyes, this one whip coming down, her entire eye will go blind!

  Death, darkness, blindness, darkness, both are equally terrifying.

  Everyone watched as the whip came down, the whip drew near, and several people saw where it was going. Yuelan covered her stomach with a smile on her face.

  The whip was close, perhaps it was the instinct of seeking survival that triggered the force, Lan Ya raised her hand and grabbed the falling whip in the blink of an eye. A pair of pale bloodless small hands wrapped around the whip, and her eyes stared fiercely at the guard holding the other end of the whip.

  The guard met such a gaze, and his heart suddenly floated up with a hint of fear, loosening the hand holding the other end of the whip, taking a step back in shock.

  The triumphant glint in Yue's eyes vanished instantly, and she felt a little annoyed at not seeing the result she wanted.

  "Someone is pushing the stove over." Her voice dropped and she rubbed her belly gently.

  Her severed finger hung limply, she glanced at her own right hand, a finger was broken off, and she would torment her to death before stopping.

  The guard pushed a brazier in, the stove burning with a fiery red flame, and inside an iron was heated to almost transparent red.

  "Don't worry, Princess won't let you die too quickly, there are still many torture tools that haven't been used yet." Yuelan endured the pain on her body, picked up the branding iron from the brazier with her left hand, and smiled wickedly at the corner of her mouth.

  Lan Ya threw away the whip, lay on the ground, and didn't even have the strength to sit up. The wounds from the whip were exposed all over her body, her skin pale, without a hint of red flesh.

  Forcing her eyes open, she stared at the fiery branding iron, fear in her heart, the scorching pain of the flames burning her skin making anyone tremble.

  "You see the branding iron above still has a word on it, this is specially prepared for you by our princess." Moon Blue's face had a cruel smile, and her words made people feel angry and disgusted.

  Lan Ya's gaze fell on the branding iron, a crimson branding iron with a humble character written on it.

  "You've left a mark on the perfect half of his face, will the Mad King still want you?"

  Lan Ya's pupils suddenly constricted. She had said that she didn't care about her appearance and the wild and crazy things she did, what she was afraid of was only the pain of burning skin.

  The pain of being branded on her skin was something she feared even thinking about.

  "What? Are you scared? If you're afraid, then beg for mercy." Yue Zilan sneered and leaned down, staring intensely into Lan Ya's eyes.

  A fearful look came from her eyes, she showed a triumphant smile, very satisfied with this fear!

  Lan Ya closed her eyes, she was indeed very afraid, but she would not beg for mercy from this woman!

  Because she knew that even if this woman begged for mercy, she might not let her off, she just wanted to see her humiliated!

  "Think you're tough? Want to act tough? Hmph, I'll see just how tough your bones are!" Moonlight Blue stepped forward, a scorching hot branding iron clutched in her left hand.

  The branding iron's heat drew near, Moon Blue's mouth corners curled up with a vicious smile, the branding iron stretched out...

  "Cheer!"

  A burst of sizzling sound arose, followed by a burning smell that wafted over, and a wisp of blue smoke rose into the air.

  Lan Ya closed her eyes, hearing the buzzing sound and the smell in the air, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her body didn't feel as painful as she had imagined. She slowly opened her eyes.

  As she opened her eyes, Tsuki no Aoi's branding iron swung towards her face, and upon seeing Ya's frightened expression, she burst out laughing.

  "Haha, aren't you scared? It's your turn next." Her loud laughter seemed to take pleasure in intimidating her.

  The iron just fell on a piece of pig skin beside it, and the pig skin was instantly scalded, filling the room with its smell.
