"Granny Bai, you can go now!" Inside the secret chamber, Granny Bai tied Li Hao's hands and feet to the stone bed with ox sinews.
To prevent Li Hao from breaking free, two iron chains as thick as thumbs were added to his feet.
"Madam, it's just in case I'm needed," Granny Bai said cautiously.
She also felt sorry for Li Hao, admitting that her own methods of tormenting people couldn't compare to her mistress.
Everyone in Mantuo Mountain Villa thought she was cruel, but compared to their madam, she was actually the most merciful.
"Go, do you think he has any chance of resisting in this state? Stay outside, and if there's any noise from inside, do not come in without my orders."
"If Yu Yan and the others come, tell them I've gone out," Li Qingluo said after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, Madam. I guarantee no one will disturb you." Only Granny Bai and Granny Hei knew the location of this secret chamber. If they didn't speak, no one else would.
"Splash!" After Granny Bai left and closed the stone door, Li Qingluo picked up a cup of clear water from the table and splashed it on Li Hao's face.
"Damn it, who splashed water on me?" Li Hao woke up instantly.
"My dear Qingluo, what is going on?" Li Bai's face changed color immediately upon seeing the iron chains and ox sinew ropes binding his hands and feet.
I never thought that even someone as cautious as me could fall into a trap. A miscalculation, a miscalculation. My old face is ruined.
"What's going on? Do you know who I hate the most?" Li Qingluo asked with a cold laugh.
"I know, you hate men surnamed Duan the most," Li Hao said meekly.
Damn it, when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. This woman is notoriously psychologically twisted. I can't provoke her any further.
Now that my hands and feet are tied, I'm like meat on a chopping board, at her mercy.
No, this tigress hasn't disabled my cultivation or used acupuncture points on me. Heaven is not trying to kill me!
Li Hao rejoiced inwardly, but he still had to put on a worried and scared expression. That would be more fun!
Heh, you dare to scheme against me? The price is that you won't know if you can afford it.
Li Hao's eyes darted back and forth, staring at Li Qingluo's chest, almost reaching for a tissue to wipe his drool.
"You dare to be so insolent when death is upon you? I will dig out your eyeballs and soak them in wine to send back to Canhe Manor," Li Qingluo roared in anger. This little brat had been disrespectful to her from the very beginning.
From the start, he had been staring non-stop at her chest and legs, then he indirectly kissed her by drinking tea from her cup, and finally, he repeatedly told that armored man that she was his woman.
Li Qingluo even suspected if the armored man was a hidden force of the Murong Family. Otherwise, how could someone at the early Xiantian stage fight so evenly with a peak Grandmaster?
"Then what should I do to be polite? Shall we take off our clothes, lie down on the bed, and discuss this issue properly?" Li Hao said with a grin.
As long as my cultivation isn't crippled, I don't fear any restraints.
"You're asking for death! I was going to give you a quick end out of consideration for our families' relationship, but now I've changed my mind," Li Qingluo's face turned ashen. She directly grabbed a boning knife and lunged at [Little] Li Zi.
"Whoosh!" A streak of sword energy flashed, and the boning knife in Li Qingluo's hand was knocked flying.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the thumb-thick iron chain binding Li Hao's left hand snapped into two pieces.
"Sunflower Acupuncture Hand!" With his left hand freed, Li Hao immediately sealed the major acupuncture points on Li Qingluo's upper body, rendering her unable to move.
"You, how did you break the iron chain?" Li Qingluo stared at Li Hao in complete bewilderment.
When Granny Bai brought Li Hao in, she had searched him thoroughly, not even sparing his underwear. He had nothing on him except his clothes.
"Hmph, if I didn't have some means to save my life, would I dare to come to this tiger's den?" Li Hao smiled.
"Crack!" Several streaks of sword energy shot from Li Hao's left little finger, and the iron chains and ox sinew ropes binding his legs and right hand snapped.
"What do you want?" Li Qingluo shouted. She hoped Granny Bai outside the secret chamber would notice something was wrong and come to her rescue.
However, she had forgotten that to keep this place a secret, the entire chamber was soundproofed. Even if the world was ending inside, no one outside would notice any problem.
"What do you think, my Qingluo?" Li Hao raised her smooth chin.
"How dare you! I am your elder," Li Qingluo's eyes were now filled with despair.
"You know I'm your elder now? Why didn't you think of that when you were about to attack Little Li Zi?" If that stab had landed, even if I didn't die, I would have to go live with Invincible East.
"Besides, you are Murong Fu's elder, that has nothing to do with me. Huh, what is this?"
Li Bai stared blankly at a diamond-shaped piece of yellow silk in his hand. It seemed he had just taken it from Li Qingluo. What had he just done?
It seemed to be related to that "Sleight of Hand" skill.
The yellow silk was smooth and silky, clearly of high quality. It was embroidered with vibrant camellias, exquisitely beautiful.
"I didn't expect Qingluo's embroidery skills to be so good. I wonder how my cousin Yu Yan's embroidery is," Li Hao swallowed. Under Li Qingluo's murderous gaze, he stuffed the silk into the pocket of his chest.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on Yu Yan, or I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Li Qingluo had just felt a coolness on her chest. Her inner garment was gone.
What kind of skill is this? The layers of silk clothing outside are fine, but the innermost, most intimate layer is missing.
"I'm not afraid of you when you're alive, do you think I'm afraid of you as a ghost? What, are you trying to commit suicide?" Li Hao pinched Li Qingluo's chin. It turned out this woman, seeing no hope of turning the tables, was preparing to bite her tongue.
"Heh, if I can't kill you, can't you at least let me die?" Li Qingluo's tears flowed. She shouldn't have woken him up in the first place; it would have been so much simpler to just kill him with one stab.
"If you die, how will you avenge your great hatred? Duan Zhengchun is currently surrounded by women, traveling with Qin Hongmian, Gan Baobao, and Ruan Xingzhu."
"If you yield to me, I will not only let you enjoy wealth and glory, earthly pleasures, but most importantly, I will help you get revenge, kill Duan Zhengchun, and then, right in front of him, I will steal his women."
"You devil…" Li Qingluo's will to die slowly dissipated. Compared to being defiled by Li Hao, she would rather see Duan Zhengchun watch his lover being stolen, humiliated, and slowly die in helplessness.
She didn't doubt Li Hao's words at all. Given his personality, he was probably capable of anything.
Even if she bit her tongue and died, as long as her corpse was still wa
