Chapter 534: Threat
Since the annihilation of the clan, Yi Xiao's body has been getting worse day by day, he is like a withered plant, so weak that he seems to be able to die at any time.
"Yi Xiao, who do you think I brought to see you?"
β¦β¦
The old man originally drooped his head, but when he heard this, he slowly raised his head and looked at Yi Yan with a weak face.
His gaze was a little wandering, and after a few seconds of pause, he realized that Yi Yan was still holding a child in his hand.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
Yi Yan looked at him and smiled cruelly, "This is your daughter's daughter, and this child has your blood flowing on it." β
The old man didn't speak, but a flash of panic flashed through his round eyes.
"In a hurry?" Yi Yan sneered, "You still didn't do enough back then, today I'll let you know what it means to cut grass and eradicate roots!" β
"What do you want to do?" The old man finally couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's nothing, it's just honoring you." Yi Yan said, and handed the baby to him, "Look, take a good look, is this child cute?" β
Yi Xiao didn't understand what he wanted to do, so he only subconsciously lowered his eyelids, and his gaze fell on the baby's delicate cheeks in a daze.
His eyes were full of strange feelings, this baby, reminded him of the past many years ago, everything in the past was like a movie clip, one by one floating in his mind, making his heart clench unconsciously, and the expression on his face was dyed with a soft color by memories.
It's a pity that Yi Yan's next words immediately made him fall into the ice cellar.
"I heard that Nanyang baby pot is delicious, and I came here today to tell you that you should have made up for your body a long time ago, you look at you now, weak, sloppy, how can you still have half of the demeanor of the head of the Yi family?"
"Easy! You beast, you still have no humanity! β
Yi Xiao roared with all his strength, and he glared at Yi Xiao like a furious beast.
It's a pity that the beast is old, and its sharp claws have been ruthlessly worn away by the years, and now in the eyes of Yi Yan, he doesn't even have the slightest deterrent.
"Am I inhuman?"
Yi Yan sneered, leaned over and pinched his chin, word by word like Shura, "Yi Xiao, my humanity was eaten away by you bit by bit as early as twenty years ago, do you remember the underground palace?" That's a really good place, if you can't drink baby soup today, that's okay, I have a time, when she grows up, I'll let her see the taste of the dungeon, you say, okay? β
"No...... Not ......"
Yi Xiao kept shaking his head, he wanted to say something, but after a long time, he couldn't say a word.
But the horror in his eyes was real, and the unbearable look in his eyes when he looked at the baby couldn't be faked.
Yi Yan looked at his reaction coldly, and only felt a feeling of disgust in his throat.
"You know it's terrible, but why were you able to let me bear it so easily? Why don't you have any patience for me? Well? β
Yi Yan viciously, word by word, said, "Why? You old brute! β
After scolding, he was still angry, and then pulled out the whip on the side and fell on the old man's body hard.
With a 'snap', the flesh and skin bloomed, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Yi Xiao's face did not fluctuate at all, he seemed to have lost his sense of pain, and his whole person was numb.
Raising his head, he looked at Yi Yan indifferently, "Kill me, can you let this child go?" β
Yi Yan was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect him to intercede for this child, and the expression on his face suddenly became more and more ridiculed.
"Are you begging me? Do you think you can exchange your life for her? β
Yi Xiao didn't speak, just slowly closed his eyes.
Up to now, even if he is only one step away from death, he has not completely lost the self-esteem of his superiors, in front of him, even if Yi Yan is cold-blooded and cruel, he is still naΓ―ve like a child who has not received love and attention.
This innate energy suppression made Yi Xiao more and more violent, and with a 'snap', another whip fell heavily on Yi Xiao's body, and in an instant, his back was fleshy and bloody.
But Yi Xiao still didn't say a word, even if he frowned tightly in pain, there was no sign of softness in his eyes.
Yi Yan understood that he might have been ready to die.
But death is never the end, especially in their world, where death is the best mercy for the enemy.
He has never been a benevolent person, and even the slightest kindness in his heart will never be used on this demon.
"Do you want to die? Don't dream, I won't let you die, people like you don't deserve to die like this, I will definitely let you live, live for a long time, live painfully, live better than die! β
Yi Yan said coldly, word by word.
At this moment, the baby in her arms suddenly woke up, probably sensing the danger in the air, and the child immediately began to cry.
Yi Yan had never heard a baby's cry, and he never knew that a child who seemed to be only the size of a palm could cry with so much energy, adding a touch of life to the entire corrupt cell.
He gently touched the child's cheek with the hand that was still holding the whip.
The child, probably hungry, felt his touch, and immediately showed his foraging nature, gently pecking at his fingers with his full face and soft lips.
But after a while, realizing that she would not get food, she immediately closed her eyes and began to cry again.
This cry made Yi Yan's original murderous aura completely dissipate invisible.
Probably because the baby's skin was so strange to the touch, it felt like fine silk, and he suddenly felt that she should not be in such a filthy place.
With a 'bang', the whip was thrown to the ground, and Yi Yan didn't stop for a moment, and immediately hurried to the door.
But his sudden behavior made Yi Yan very uneasy.
"Yi Yan, you kill me, what's coming at me, you let the child go!"
"Easy-"
Yi Xiao's wails lingered in the dim cell, but Yi Xiao was unmoved.
When she walked out of the forbidden place, the child stopped crying, and she even opened her eyes and smiled at him.
That smile was like a beam of light that tore through the dark abyss and fell in, shining more and more on how crazy and cruel the anger in his eyes was.
Yi Zhen's heart seemed to be tightened by an invisible hand, he knew in his heart that such a young child, how could there be any emotion, the so-called smile was just the traction of muscles, but the emotions in his heart were real.
The complicated feelings that arise because of her smile are all true.
β¦β¦
For the next few days, the days seemed to remain peaceful.
But Lu Yao sensitively felt a taste of wind and rain, she had heard Red Sleeves say before that Hua Tingshen was coming.
But after all these days, she didn't know what the situation was outside.
But fortunately, Yi Yan finally didn't stop her from seeing the child, and the nurse brought the child over regularly every day to relieve her of the pain of missing, and finally made her life no longer as sad as before.
She was relaxed, but the situation still did not improve.
It's been more than half a month, since Red Sleeves was disposed of, Yi Yan hasn't slept well for a day, his body is weakening at the speed of his eyes, because of lack of sleep, his emotions are always in a state of explosion, and everyone around him is in danger for a while.
Fortunately, in the afternoon of this day, the red sleeves, which had disappeared for several days, suddenly broke into the courtyard where he usually lived.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you go down the mountain? β
A henchman stopped the red sleeves at the door and reprimanded in a low voice, "Go quickly, otherwise you will disturb the Lord, and you will suffer from it!" β
"I'm not leaving, please let me in, let me help the master." Red Sleeves looked sincere, with tears in his eyes.
