Dark basement, inside a cell.

"Da da da!"

Crisp footsteps appeared in the cell, echoing around.

The entire dungeon was silent, except for the crisp and loud footsteps, there was no other sound.

The silence all around was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe.

The dungeon is not big, and the dark and smooth stone walls around it are covered with water droplets. The lights are flickering, making people tremble.

The surroundings of the dungeon were dark and dark, and there was no one around.

In the entire dungeon, the only place where there was movement and sound was in the cell at the deepest part of the dungeon.

A wretched figure lay in the dungeon, languid.

The luxurious clothes were shabby and shabby, lying on the damp straw, with disheveled hair, unkempt appearance, and no trace of vitality.

Until the footsteps came from not far away, the embarrassed figure on the ground raised his head with difficulty, with a pair of gloomy eyes filled with fear, frightened and uneasy, as if he was waiting for his fate to be judged.

As the footsteps approached, he became more and more uneasy and his expression became more frightened.

"Tick tock!"

A drop of rainwater slipped from the dungeon and fell on Wang Qin's dry face. He licked his lips and raised his head.

A figure appeared outside the cell door.

However, he was not the person Wang Qin imagined.

What appeared in his sight was a woman!

A very beautiful woman!

Wang Qin seemed to be in a daze, his head short-circuited for an instant, and he stared blankly at the woman in front of him.

Very beautiful!

Breathtakingly beautiful!

It was so beautiful that it made his brain forget about thinking and the situation he was in.

As the son of the prefect of Xunyang, Wang Qin had seen many women, including many with extraordinary beauty. But the one who really fascinated him was the eldest princess in the capital whom he had just glimpsed.

At this moment, the woman who appeared in front of him was no worse than the eldest princess!

Wearing a snow-white dress and a mink velvet coat, she appeared in his sight as pure and flawless as a fairy, yet cold and beautiful.

Very beautiful!

Also very indifferent!

Like ice cubes in the cold winter, it is so cold that it makes people tremble.

The next second, Wang Qin shivered, his back was numb and his whole body was as cold as if he had fallen into an abyss.

He had seen the woman in front of him before.

Not long ago, I was in the secret room in the back mountain.

This woman...

He and his second uncle were chased and killed.

She is not dead?

After realizing this, Wang Qin had a look of horror on his face.

Prince Lin is not dead, so she, who is trapped in the secret room in the back mountain like Prince Lin, is naturally safe and sound.

That……

Why is she here?!

After being briefly amazed, Wang Qin felt deep fear in his heart.

He knew very well that the woman in front of him was very dangerous.

Extremely high martial arts!

What does she want to do?!

Wang Qin struggled to get up, but his whole body felt weak. He had not eaten for several days, was so hungry that he was dizzy, his chest was pressed against his back, and he couldn't muster any strength.

Just as he struggled to get up, he fell back down again, panting.

"Crack!"

The cell door opened.

Wang Qin raised his head in horror and watched this stunningly beautiful woman slowly step into the cell. He struggled and took a few steps back.

"You, who are you?!"

"You, what do you want to do?!"

His words were serious but not very powerful.

At this moment, Wang Qin is no longer the aloof son of the Xunyang Prefect in the past. During the past few days of being imprisoned, his pride has long been worn away.

This dark and damp basement tortured him mentally and physically.

door.

Zhiyuan stepped into the cell and looked at Wang Qin coldly in the cell. There was no emotion in her expression. She just stared at him until after a long time, she said expressionlessly: "You deserve to die."

Wang Qin's whole body trembled suddenly, and he looked up in fear, only to see a dagger and scimitar in the hand of the woman in white.

A ray of cold light shone from the dagger and scimitar, and also flashed into the fear in Wang Qin's heart.

She, she wants to kill herself?!

When this thought surfaced, Wang Qin collapsed completely.

"Female, heroine, please spare your life..."

Wang Qin fell to the ground like a dead dog, wailing and screaming: "I have no enmity with you... You have enmity with my second uncle. If you want revenge, you should go to my second uncle and don't implicate me."

…”

"Let me go..."

After experiencing the torture of life and death, Wang Qin has long since lost half of his backbone. Right now, he just wants to survive.

Even if it’s hard to survive.

But, he has to live.

As long as you are alive, there is hope.

Once you die, there is nothing.

In response to Wang Qin's begging for mercy, Zhiyuan looked indifferent, unmoved at all, and said coldly: "You deserve to die too!"

"All of you in the Wang family deserve to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhiyuan flicked his sleeves and took out the dagger and scimitar in his hand.

The next second.

"ah!"

A sharp scream came.

The dagger instantly penetrated Wang Qin's palm and plunged his right hand into the ground.

Blood spurted out, and Wang Qin lay on the ground, screaming repeatedly, his pale face full of ferocious fear.

The roaring scream was as cruel as a slaughtered pig, and he fainted on the spot.

Zhiyuan stood there, watching this scene indifferently.

like a statue.

There seemed to be some hesitation in his eyes.

The murderous intention lingered and eventually disappeared.

She didn't say anything, she gradually lowered her gaze and turned around slowly.

He turned around, but stopped again.

Not far ahead, Lin Jiangnian appeared in the dungeon at some unknown time, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, watching this scene with interest.

He glanced behind Zhiyuan and then landed on her.

"Why not just kill him?"

Zhiyuan said nothing.

"Since you want revenge, wouldn't killing him directly mean that the Wang family will be extinct?"
