Chapter 471: Human Flesh Fertilizer
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Yuwen You carefully closed the doors and windows of the side room, walked behind the screen and pressed a few times, revealing a dark hole in the wall. He glanced back, then quickly entered.
Passing through the dark and narrow passage, he stopped at a door and gently pushed it open. A half-human height guard dog rushed towards him frantically, but after sniffing his scent, it obediently sat down.
Yuwen You patted the huge head of the guard dog, gave it some jerky, and continued inside until he heard the sound of dripping water in the darkness. He stopped and whispered, “Uncle Gai.”
A spark of fire lit up, illuminating the small cell. A tall middle-aged man with a slightly stooped back held a lamp and nodded at him. Because he was mute, he didn’t speak, only gestured with his hands.
From his gestures, Yuwen You could see that Jiang Shanshan, who had lost her legs, had passed the dangerous period and was now recovering.
“Open the door, let me see her.” Yuwen You took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and a proud smile appeared on his handsome face.
The door made of solid iron weighed hundreds of pounds, and only someone with the natural strength of Uncle Gai could open it. After the door opened, a damp and rotten smell rushed out, making Yuwen You step back twice and adjust his breathing several times before he could recover.
There was a rustling sound in the room, similar to the sound of some small animal crawling. Yuwen You smiled faintly, took the lamp from Uncle Gai’s hand, and bent down into the small prison below. He said cheerfully, “Second Miss Jiang, I heard you’re recovering well. Have you figured it out yet?”
Jiang Shanshan’s hands were shackled in iron cuffs, half-leaning in the corner. Due to the torment of heavy injuries, blood loss, and high fever, she had completely changed shape. Her hair was tangled together, her face pale as a ghost, her cheeks sunken, and her eyes flashed with a ghastly light under the lamp, her lower body covered by a relatively clean blanket, at first glance, no different from an ordinary person. But she and Yuwen You both understood that she was no longer the talented young lady, the second miss of the Changxing Marquis’s Mansion, as before.
Jiang Shanshan looked at Yuwen You with hatred, grinned, revealing rows of white teeth, “Why haven’t you died yet! Judging by your appearance, death is not far off for you too!”
“To obtain you, there’s always a price to pay. It’s nothing, it’s worth it.” Yuwen You smiled and lifted her blanket, checking her bandaged legs, and said, “Uncle Gai has taken good care of you. You’re even tougher than I thought, it’s just a pity that your fate isn’t as good as Fu Mingzhu’s.”
Upon hearing him mention Fu Mingzhu’s name, Jiang Shanshan’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, gritting her teeth and saying, “You b*stard, even if I die, I won’t let you succeed!”
Yuwen You sat down in front of her, smiling and talking to her, “Are you sure? I thought some of our interests were aligned. We both hate those two individuals and can’t stand to see them thrive. Unfortunately, you always refused to listen to me, insisting on your own way. Otherwise, you would still have your legs, still be the elegant Second Miss Jiang, able to stand in the sun, attend palace banquets, and laugh with me at the plight of those two b*stards. But you never listened to me, what should I do with you?”
Jiang Shanshan’s heart was full of hatred, coldly scanning Yuwen You’s figure, calculating which part of him was the most vulnerable, most likely to be fatal with one blow.
Yuwen You wasn’t afraid of her at all, casually saying, “I’ve planted a few pots of orchids, they’ve always grown poorly. I heard of a remedy, it requires human flesh and blood to fertilize them, then they’ll grow luxuriantly and bloom all year round. But I have a conscience, although I really want the orchids to grow well, I can’t bear to kill innocent people for fertilizer.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shanshan had an ominous premonition, she closed her mouth tightly, watching Yuwen You vigilantly.
In the dim light, Yuwen You’s profile was like a carefully crafted artwork, very pleasing to the eye. He casually smiled at her, “But this time, I finally have the opportunity. I’ve taken your two legs to fertilize the orchids, you’re a beauty, pampered since childhood, and clever. The fertilizer produced from you must be extraordinary. Next spring, the orchids will definitely bloom beautifully, and I’ll give you a pot then.”
Jiang Shanshan almost vomited. Although she had seen more disgusting and cruel things during her missions and she had also done such things herself, the idea of someone else’s body being turned into fertilizer or a specimen was completely different from her own body being used as fertilizer.
Yuwen You took her hand, carefully examining it under the lamp, and then sighed, “Your hands are much more beautiful than Fu Mingzhu’s. It’s really a pity to use them as fertilizer or feed them to the dogs, but I hope you can come to your senses soon and use them to draw the remaining half of the bed crossbow diagram. That way, it wouldn’t be a waste of these beautiful hands.”
Jiang Shanshan spat at his face.
Yuwen You calmly took out a handkerchief, wiped the spit off his face, not angry at all.
Jiang Shanshan looked at him suspiciously, thinking that he was changing tactics? Before she could figure it out, a sharp pain shot through her scalp. Yuwen You threw away the handkerchief, grabbed her hair, and began to viciously slap her face, hitting her with a flurry of blows, causing her vision to go blurry, her ears ringing, and blood from her nose and mouth flowing hot and salty into her throat.
She stubbornly gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound. Yuwen You grabbed her head again and slammed it against the stone wall. Jiang Shanshan thought she was going to die. She didn’t want to die, she hadn’t killed Fu Mingzhu and Yuwen Chu yet, how could she die like this, letting them off so easily?
She screamed, protecting her head with her hands, and shouted, “If I die, you won’t get anything!”
Yuwen You let go of her, took out another handkerchief, and calmly wiped his hands, saying lightly, “Dare to be rude to me again, and I’ll cut off your ears. Otherwise, it’ll be your eyes, or I’ll scratch your face. Anything you have on your body, I’ll take it off one by one! Do you believe me?”
Afraid that this wouldn’t be enough to intimidate her, he added, “With your current appearance, you can barely be taken to bed and have children. If you lose a few more things, even giving yourself away for free, no one would want you. Want to try? B*tch!”
He slapped her again.
Jiang Shanshan covered her face in humiliation, repeatedly chewing on the names of Yuwen Chu, Yuwen You, Fu Mingzhu, and Fu Mingzheng in her heart countless times. Don’t give her a chance, otherwise she would ensure they have no place to be buried!
