Xiao Jinchen and Ice Empress went crazy from afternoon to the morning of the next day. A ray of morning light penetrated the window screen and softly fell into the room. A faint halo spread across the bed and quietly covered the cheeks of Xiao Jinchen and Ice Empress in his arms.
Xiao Jinchen's eyelashes trembled slightly and she woke up.
Xiao Jinchen lowered his eyes and saw that Ice Empress was curled up in his arms, sleeping defenselessly, his long eyelashes rising and falling gently with his breathing.
As if aware of Xiao Jinchen's gaze, Ice Empress frowned slightly. She did not open her eyes, but instinctively dug into the warm embrace, found a more comfortable position, and then reluctantly opened her eyes.
Ice Empress's amber eyes were still covered with a layer of water mist from just waking up. After seeing the handsome face in front of him, the water mist dissipated instantly, turning into a shy and usual arrogant look.
"Achen, sleep a little longer." Ice Empress called out sweetly and closed his eyes again.
"The sun is shining on your butt, why don't you get up?" Xiao Jinchen touched Ice Empress's emerald green hair and said softly.
Hearing this, Ice Empress pouted unhappily, and reluctantly broke away from Xiao Jinchen's arms. He looked quite cute.
The two got dressed and left the room.
"Bing'er, has anything happened to the Falling Star Pavilion recently?" Xiao Jinchen asked softly. He did not believe that Tang San was a law-abiding master.
"Oh! I remembered it!" Ice Empress's amber eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "This time you came back, I was so excited that I forgot such an important thing!"
Ice Empress took a deep breath, straightened out his thoughts, and his expression became solemn. "Before you sent your clone back to ask me to change my name, your clone also caught a sneaky guy near our Falling Star Pavilion. That guy was not weak. He was at the Dou Zong level. He was probably descended from the Divine Realm."
Ice Empress frowned slightly and said helplessly, "At that time, for insurance, your clone sealed all the power in his body, and then it dissipated. We locked him up and tortured him for more than a month, almost two months, but he was so tough-mouthed that he didn't even say a word."
"As expected!" Xiao Jinchen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he secretly thought that Tang San was indeed not a peaceful master, so he sent people down to cause trouble so quickly.
However, he actually admired this man in his heart. After being tortured for almost two months, he didn't even say a word, so he could be considered a tough guy.
"Bing'er, take me to meet him." Xiao Jinchen raised a cold smile on his lips, "Since you are so tough, I will just search for his soul."
Although he has blown up all the Spirit Rings, the skills retained in the Spirit Rings are still there. He can use his Soul Devour skills to forcibly explore the other party's memory. So what if he doesn't say anything? The information can still be pried out of his mind.
"Okay!" Ice Empress nodded lightly and agreed.
Soon, Ice Empress took Xiao Jinchen to a basement. When he pushed open the heavy stone door, a strong smell of blood hit his face.
Under the dim light, a man was hanging in the air by iron chains, covered in blood, and his clothes were in tatters. His mouth was tightly blocked by a ball of cloth, and he could only make painful whimpering sounds.
Next to him, two Falling Star Pavilion disciples were whipping him with whips. Every time the whip fell, the man's body trembled violently.
Seeing Ice Empress and Xiao Jinchen coming in, the two disciples immediately stopped and saluted.
"Master of the Ice Pavilion!"
"You guys should step back first." Ice Empress waved his hand to ask them to step back.
"Yes." The two disciples nodded slightly, and then retreated from the basement.
Ice Empress pointed at the person hanging in the air and said, "Your clone sealed his power, interrupted his meridians, and tortured him for almost two months. He didn't say a word because he was afraid that he would bite his tongue, so he blocked his mouth."
"Something's wrong!" Xiao Jinchen twitched the corner of his mouth, then turned to look at Ice Empress and said, "You blocked his mouth, what will he say?"
"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"
When the man who was hanging in the air heard this, he started shaking violently.
"Uh... It seems so..." Ice Empress stood there blankly, and it took a long time before he uttered a few words.
Xiao Jinchen couldn't help but hold his forehead. Although Ice Empress is very strong, his IQ still needs to be improved.
Ice Empress raised his jade hand, tapped the man with his fingertips, and a soft Soul Power instantly wrapped the ball of cloth in his mouth, brought it out steadily, and threw it to the ground.
"You! Hurry up and explain! Otherwise we will search for the soul directly." Ice Empress took a step forward and threatened.
"Wait a minute!" the man hurriedly shouted, "You are asking! You are asking!"
"Did I say I won't say anything? You ask me!" The man yelled hoarsely, his eyes red, and tears mixed with the blood on his face and fell down.
"You didn't ask, you hung me here and beat me for a month or two, and you kept asking me if I would tell, and if I didn't tell, you asked! You even blocked my mouth afterwards, and I couldn't even say what I wanted to say! But you asked, and you didn't ask me what to say!" At the end of the sentence, he almost broke down and roared.
Who knows how he survived the past two months! He couldn't even say anything, and he had to be beaten all the time.
This person was none other than the God Official sent by Tang San to assassinate Xiao Jinchen. When he first took over the task, he was extremely cautious. When he found out that Xiao Jinchen was not at the Falling Star Pavilion, he kept lurking outside, hoping to wait for him to come back before taking action.
As a result, before he could come back, he himself was arrested. Not only was his power blocked, he was also hung up and beaten for a month or two, and the only thing he heard every day was "Say, don't tell."
He is really going crazy.
He regretted taking this task. If he didn't take this task, he would have contradicted his boss. But now? The task was not completed, and he was tortured into this horrible state.
Now he just wants to return to the Divine Realm, even if he accepts the punishment of going to the lower realm privately, he will admit it.
He really doesn't want to stay in the lower world anymore.
"Bing'er... you... didn't ask him? Didn't you arrange for your subordinates to ask?" Xiao Jinchen turned to look at Ice Empress, his face speechless. Good guy, he thought the other party was a tough guy who would rather die than surrender. After arguing for a long time, it turned out that he couldn't make a sound.
"Ah?" Ice Empress didn't react for a moment. He blinked and pointed at his nose and asked, "Didn't I ask?"
She carefully recalled the interrogation process in the past two months. It was obvious that she had interrogated her personally in the past few days, but every time the person was about to open his mouth, she impatiently whipped him. The other person screamed, and the words were abruptly interrupted...
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that she... really didn't let him finish what he said, and in the end she even blocked his mouth, which was called to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
