I reached out, and pointed at a groove in the wall, “Look…. There seems to be a woman kneeling there. What’s with this situation?”
“A woman?”
“Yup!”
Everyone looked in the direction I was pointing. Indeed, there was a woman whose wrists were chained and suspended to the wall, and her long hair was drooped over her face. She looked as if life had taken everything from her.
I gripped my Emperor Qin Sword, and carefully stepped forward. Wan Er followed close behind and whispered, “Be careful….”
“Ok….”
I knelt down in front of the woman, and reached out to raise her chin. One look, and I was scared shitless. The face had long since deteriorated, and lost all possibility for her beauty to return. All that was left was a few slivers of muscle. However, there still seemed to be some water in her eyeballs. As she looked at me, she immediately revealed an indignant expression, “F*ck off!”
“You……” I looked at her name, “Mistress Li of the Chu Kingdom”. It wasn’t a monster. The system introduced her as “The sister of Chu Kingdom’s Li Yuan, the mother of the Chu Kingdom’s Silent Emperor” This…. This didn’t seem to make sense.
Li Mu crossed his arms over his sword, “Huh, is the Guild Master planning to pick up a woman halfway through the adventure to bring home as his Ba Huang City mistress?”
I glared, “For someone who looks like this, if you want to take her then you take her. I don’t have such a hardcore taste. Either way, you don’t have a b*tch…..”
“F*ck off, I had lots of girlfriends in my day….”
“And yet you’re still single now….”
“Enough already….”
Wan Er walked up front, “Alright already. Why don’t I ask her!”
As she said that, she kneeled down, and her cape spread out on the ground. She looked at Mistress Li of the Chu Kingdom and said, “Mistress, what has happened? Why are you locked up here?”
Li Mistress glared resentfully, “This is all because of those ungrateful males. Without them, how else would I fall to such a miserable fate? I’m the magnificent Dowager of the Chu Kingdom, and to think that I’d have to be subjected to such disgrace. God damnit. I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept such a fate!”
Wan Er was puzzled, “Mistress, exactly what fate is it?”
Mistress Li’s face was full of hatred and said, “I’m the sister of the Chu Kingdom’s Li Yuan, and was wed to Huang Ge. After that, when I was pregnant, he actually offered me as a present to King Chu Kao Lie. Once I gave birth to a son, I was immediately made the Queen, and my child would then become the Silent Emperor….. I hate their wiliness, I hate how helpless I am. One day, I will have my revenge!”
