“You can choose not to see her.” Jun Wu Yao said, staring straight at Jun Wu Xie. Although she was trying very hard to suppress the emotions within her heart, but he could somehow feel that Qu Ling Yue’s predicament had left a wound so deep it went right to the bone right across her heart.
“It had been because of me.” Jun Wu Xie said through gritted teeth. If not for Qu Xin Rui’s earlier revelation, how would she have known that Qu Ling Yue had developed feeling for the youth she had crossdressed to become? And she wouldn’t have possibly known, that the reason Qu Ling Yue had to suffer all of this, was just because the youth she portrayed herself as, had been a little more friendly to Qu Ling Yue that had incited the jealousy of Qu Xin Rui.
The smile at the corners of Jun Wu Yao’s lips faded a little and his deep and penetrating eyes stared into Jun Wu Xie’s clear ones.
“Even if it wasn’t for you, as the daughter of the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City, the day will come where she will still end up being used to threaten Qu Wen Hao, or else, why had she not been captured together with the others? She had only wanted to leave Qu Wen Hao with a sliver of hope and over the years, Qu Wen Hao’s care and concern for his only child had only grown and intensified, inadvertently giving Qu Xin Rui a stronger hold over him.”
Whatever that had happened to the Thousand Beast City, Jun Wu Yao was not in the least bit interested. If not for the fact that Jun Wu Xie was here, he wouldn’t have appeared here at all. But he had noticed that Jun Wu Xie had developed a certain degree of guilt towards Qu Ling Yue for everything that had happened to the girl.
To a usually cold and indifferent Jun Wu Xie, this was a situation very rarely seen, and Jun Wu Yao did not wish for Jun Wu Xie to be affected by anyone.
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes lowered slightly, and she did not refute Jun Wu Yao’s words, but merely said softly: “I need to go in and see her.”
Volume 12
Chapter 1116: “I Came To Bring You Home (3)”
After saying that, Jun Wu Xie lifted her foot to step inside the dungeon cell!
In the dim and dark cell, a tiny figure huddled wretchedly in a corner. Borrowing from the dim candlelight, Jun Wu Xie got a clear view of the state the figure was in. The figure’s fair and smooth skin was exposed and completely uncovered, long chains locked around her four limbs, their clear clinking sounds audible in tandem to her uncontrollable trembling.
Upon that thin slender body, green and purple bruises were visible all over, and her head of beautiful hair that was once the envy of many girls was now matted in knots like dry grass, turning into the only thing that could cover her body…..
Qu Ling Yue, the Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City, a young girl that should have grown up cherished within the palms of the masses, had now turned to be put in such a pitiable state.
Around her, several men in different states of undress had fallen in pools of blood, obviously having been killed by Ye Sha when he had charged in here earlier.
The fact that these men had been here, was telling Jun Wu Xie one thing in no uncertain terms, that till the moment Ye Sha had charged in here, Qu Ling Yue had still be humiliated and helplessly further tainted by these men worse than beasts!
At that moment, Jun Wu Xie felt her stomach start to turn. She could not hold herself back and retched but nothing came out, where she almost dropped Lord Meh Meh onto the ground!
“Don’t look!” Jun Wu Yao suddenly pulled Jun Wu Xie into his arms.
The temperature within Jun Wu Xie’s body was dropping alarmingly fast, her hands so chillingly cold like they had just been pulled out from ice, and were shaking faintly.
To Jun Wu Xie who was an extreme clean freak, the trauma that struck at her from something like this was more severe than anything else she could imagine!
That day, Qu Xin Rui had merely kissed her once on her face and she had already wished that she could tear her face off, while Qu Ling Yue’s situation had been that much more horrifying!
Jun Wu Xie was held tightly within Jun Wu Yao’s embrace, her eyes staring widely, the emotions brewing within those eyes unfathomable.
Maybe Jun Wu Yao’s actions had startled Qu Ling Yue huddled in the corner and she suddenly let out growl like a wild animal. She had been quiet and unmoving but she was suddenly struggling wildly. She pulled at the chains restraining her and unintelligible wails escaped from her mouth.
Jun Wu Xie suddenly pushed Jun Wu Yao away, and she drew in several deep breaths, fighting to quell the nausea deep within her stomach. She pushed Lord Meh Meh into Jun Wu Yao’s arms and turned to take wide strides to come next to Qu Ling Yue!
At that moment, Qu Ling Yue was like she had completely lost her mind, as she struggled violently, wanting to avoid everything. The blood from the dead men around her stained her fair skinned feet blood red. She did not seem to care that all four of her limbs were bound by thick chains, only using every single ounce of her strength to try to break free from everything at this place!
Jun Wu Xie stood before Qu Ling Yue, looking at the now completely different person she had known, and her heart winced up in pain.
“No….. No…..” Qu Ling Yue wailing cries resounded throughout the entire dungeon, trying her hardest to hide herself in the corner, her terror filled eyes overflowing with tears.
Her hands and feet had obvious wounds showing on them, the skin under the chains broken and her flesh opened up where the whites of her bones could even be seen in some spots…..
Struggling so violently, and with such severe injuries on her, she did not seem to care. Only the Heavens knew what kind of unspeakable torment she had suffered over that period of time.
“Don’t be afraid.” Jun Wu Xie tried her best to make her voice sound gentle, as she approached the terrified Qu Ling Yue a little bit by bit.
Volume 12
Chapter 1117: “I Came To Bring You Home (4)”
Qu Ling Yue however was acting like a startled little beast as she curled up into a ball in terror.
Jun Wu Xie suddenly felt as if her throat had turned dry. She did not know where the highly stifling feeling in her chest had come from but she knew that seeing Qu Ling Yue reduced to such a miserable and wretched state stung her eyes greatly.
As she saw Qu Ling Yue hugging both her arms tightly against herself, seated upon the cold hard floor and her head lifted warily as she looked at her, Jun Wu Xie was suddenly finding it harder and harder to breathe. Jun Wu Xie took off her outer robe and ignoring Qu Ling Yue’s struggles, she forcibly draped it around Qu Ling Yue’s body, covering her up entirely, and hugged Qu Ling Yue’s shaking figure tightly.
“I am Jun Xie. I will not hurt you. Do not be afraid.” Jun Wu Xie crooned in a soft voice, patiently whispering it repeatedly into Qu Ling Yue’s ear to try to comfort her.
Qu Ling Yue’s struggles gradually calmed down, but the heavily ravaged body was still trembling uncontrollably.
“Jun….. Jun….. Xie…..” Qu Ling Yue tried to repeat those two words with much difficulty.
“Mm.” Jun Wu Xie affirmed gently.
“Jun Xie….. Jun Xie…..” The terror within Qu Ling Yue’s eyes gradually faded away, and her eyes slowly turned to look highly aggrieved, where she had just barely calmed down not for too long, she began to struggle violently once again!
“Save me! Jun Xie….. Save me….. Please save me…..” She seemed to be completely oblivious that the person right before her eyes was Jun Xie and continued to struggle in an attempt to escape from there. The chains fastened upon her clinked loudly from her incessant pulling and the wounds were tearing up once more. Blood flowed over the black iron chains and fell to the floor, mixing together with the blood that had not yet congealed!
Jun Wu Xie’s brows immediately creased together. If Qu Ling Yue continued to struggle like this, her hands and legs might very soon be maimed!
Jun Wu Xie made a decision quickly on the spot and gathered her spirit powers into her hands, decisively ripping the chains restraining
Qu Ling Yue’s limbs apart.
Suddenly freed from her restraints, Qu Ling Yue suddenly fell forward. Without the support from the chains holding her up, she fell onto the ground in a wretched heap, but she did not let out a single yelp of pain and just used her hands which were fully covered with blood to drag herself across the stone floor, towards the exit of the dungeon.
That was when Jun Wu Xie saw that the thumb on Qu Ling Yue’s right hand had been neatly cut off and the wound had only been carelessly wrapped with bandages and the bandage had already turned black from dirt and dried blood…..
“Save me….. Save me please…..” Qu Ling Yue’s desperate plea sounded like it had been squeezed forth from deep within her chest and that was the only thought within her confused and traumatised consciousness. She did not care about the pain upon her body but only thought to escape from this cage, to get away from this living hell…..
“Ye Sha.” Jun Wu Xie’s voice sounded a little raspy.
Ye Sha immediately appeared within the cell.
“Take her away to get some rest, and don’t let her continue to resist.” Jun Wu Xie said, drawing a deep breath. Qu Ling Yue’s awareness was in complete chaos, the torment in the recent period had completely crushed the pure and innocent girl’s spirit, making her lose her ability to discern what was going on, left with the last vestige of consciousness just before insanity.
If Qu Ling Yue was left to carry on like this, even if Jun Wu Xie were to personally treat her, it would be still be very difficult for Qu Ling Yue to make a full recovery.
Ye Sha nodded and immediately went forward. His approach made Qu Ling Yue cry even louder as she fought furiously to run away from the man’s touch, her mouth repeatedly calling out Jun Xie’s name.
Volume 12
Chapter 1118: “I Came To Bring You Home (5)”
Maybe Qu Ling Yue at this point when her mind was on the verge of collapse, she was still thinking….. that Jun Xie would come save her.
Jun Wu Xie’s chest felt like a huge rock had been placed upon it, making it hard for her to breathe.
Ye Sha did not dare to handle Qu Ling Yue too roughly but could not allow her to continue to hurt herself. Hence, he had no choice but to knock her unconscious and carried her up. After nodding briefly to Jun Wu Xie, he carried Qu Ling Yue outside.
Within the cell, silence fell. The only sound Jun Wu Xie could hear, was her own breathing.
She had never been a good person herself, and she had dealt with Qu Xin Rui because Qu Xin Rui had been her enemy, not because she sympathised with the Thousand Beast City’s predicament.
But when she saw Qu Ling Yue in such a state, her emotions had gone a little out of control.
The evil and ugly side of the world, she had seen quite a lot, but there was just one thing, no matter what, she had never been able to tolerate!
That was when such acts of humiliation, were done onto women.
Past and present life, that had not changed in the slightest.
“She will be happier dead than continuing to live.” Jun Wu Yao said, his eyes looking at Jun Wu Xie’s countenance.
Qu Ling Yue’s situation had been highly obvious. Her conscious mind had already fallen apart and even if Jun Wu Xie had the ability to cure her, with all that she had gone through, it would only make her continue to live in agony. Those inerasable memories, would be with her her entire life, tormenting her endlessly.
Jun Wu Xie’s lips stiffened and was silent a moment before she asked:
“Why?”
A strange glint flashed in Jun Wu Yao’s eyes.
Jun Wu Xie suddenly raised her head.
“When women are put through such unspeakable torment, why must they only choose death? All of this is not her fault and she is merely a victim. Why is it that a victim is instead made to be the one that cannot continue to live? I will not let her die. She has already gone through all this and she has the right to continue to live. There is just no logic in the entire world that wants a girl who has been unfairly treated to seek death to relieve herself from agony and torment.”
Jun Wu Xie still clearly remembered. Before she had joined the organization, while she had still been in that tiny little pet shop, she had at that time, on one morning, witnessed a similar incident. It was a colleague of hers from the pet shop, who had gone home all alone in the middle of the night and was set on by a group of thugs. In the end, that girl had chosen to kill herself with sleeping pills at home.
Jun Wu Xie could not make herself understand it. Why was it when these people were obviously the hapless victims, but they had to suffer treatment harsher than what the culprit was put through. Women must be stronger on their own and no one should be able to decide their fates for them!
“As long as a person still lives, then there is still hope, and there is still a future. Once they are dead, everything is lost.” Jun Wu Xie said looking at Jun Wu Yao.
Jun Wu Yao suddenly smiled. He looked at Jun Wu Xie’s bright and sparkling eyes and his smile became brighter.
“This is what you have believed all this time? So even when you were so severely injured at that time you had still fought so hard to live.” Jun Wu Xie’s words made Jun Wu Yao think back to the time when they had met for the first time. The severity of the injuries that Jun Wu Xie had sustained at that time had reduced her to become not much different from a dead person but she still had not been willing to give up on the slightest opportunity that she would live, and had even released him, a dangerous person with an unknown identity.
“As long as one still holds the will to live, there is nothing that they will be unable to get through. I believe….. Qu Ling Yue will get through this.” Jun Wu Xie said with her eyes narrowed, with unwavering certainty.
“Little Xie, do you know, under these Heavens, to a girl, chastity is sometimes viewed as being more important than life itself?” Jun Wu Yao asked, with an eyebrow raised. Although he did not care in the slightest about this saying, but it couldn’t be denied, that was a belief deeply rooted in the minds of many people.
Volume 12
Chapter 1119: “I Came To Bring You Home (6)”
“You feel the same way?” Jun Wu Xie asked suddenly.
Jun Wu Yao was surprised a moment and he shook his head thereafter.
“That is just an excuse given by the weak. If their will were strong, what difference could one’s physical shell went through change? Who would dare despise you? If it is because of people around them, then all the more they shouldn’t pay any mind to it. A person’s life, should be lived for themselves. If a man would really slight a another person because of such a thing, then that means the man has never truly held his partner within his heart. If he truly loved her, why would he pay any mind to such? Afterall, what the man loved, should be the spirit and soul, on not just the outer shell.”
Jun Wu Yao’s words, was right up Jun Wu Xie’s alley. She had never been one who cared much about what others thought.
Only to live, that was what matters the most!
For the things that happened to Qu Ling Yue, it was still more or less related to her in some way and she could not sit back and do nothing about it.
Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao then left the dungeon.
Qu Ling Yue was temporarily placed in one of the bedrooms within the Heavenly Cloud Chambers and Ye Sha triggered Qu Ling Yue’s sleep acupoint to let her temporarily calm down and not do anything to harm herself any further.
Jun Wu Xie ordered for hot water and a towel to be brought in and she tended to all the wounds on Qu Ling Yue’s body.
Lying upon the bed, it was seen Qu Ling Yue had lost a lot of weight and her body was covered in welts and bruises, her ribs clearly visible under the thin skin. The heavy loss of blood and the prolonged torment had greatly weakened her body but the most serious afflictions were the wounds around her four limbs.
Her lips had badly split and she was seriously dehydrated with many blood wounds upon them.
Jun Wu Xie tended to all her wounds patiently bit by bit, her actions gentle and light, but with much precision. Even though she knew that Qu Ling Yue’s sleep acupoint had been triggered and she would not feel the pain, she still habitually applied medicine that numbed the pain on the wounds.
Outside the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, Xiong Ba and Qing Yu stood outside not daring to approach the place. Ye Mei had handed Qu Xin Rui over to them and Xiong Ba had arranged for people to imprison Qu Xin Rui in the dungeon of the Fiery Blaze Clan Hall. Otherwise, with what Qu Xin Rui had done to the people of the Thousand Beast City, the citizens’ hatred for her would be enough for them to tear her into a million pieces.
After having dealt with Qu Xin Rui’s matters, Xiong Ba and Qing Yu had immediately hurried themselves to come outside the Heavenly Cloud Chambers as they had seen Jun Xie heading in this direction when he left. But having reached outside the door, they suddenly did not dare to take another step forward.
All because Ye Sha was standing before the doors completely stone faced and his attitude towards them was cold and unwelcoming.
As Xiong Ba and Qing Yu were standing outside the Heavenly Cloud Chambers feeling at a complete loss, Qiao Chu and his companions came rushing in. The five youths encountered Xiong Ba and Qing Yu at the doors of the Heavenly Cloud Chambers and at the very first moment they met, Xiong Ba and Qing Yu immediately hung their heads low guiltily.
The fact that the Thousand Beast City had been rescued from their crisis had been all due to the actions of Jun Xie and his companions. Compared to the betrayal they themselves had done to Jun Xie, they really could not bring themselves to look at Qiao Chu and the others in the eye.
Qiao Chu swept an angry glance over the speechless Xiong Ba and Qing Yu who had their head lowered in shame and snorted derisively. Turning his head away from them, he strode inside the Heavenly Cloud Chambers, unwilling to even say a single word to them at all.
