Chapter 5: The King of Babylon in Debauchery and Extravagance
No matter how Yin Xinmei roared and screamed, kicked and bit on the shoulder of the golden-toothed giant, he didn't move, and her fist slammed into the back of his head without any protective gear, like an egg hitting a cliff, and her ten fingers and heart made her gasp in pain, but the other party didn't hurt a single hair.
The giant walked through a bottomless ornate corridor, flanked by armed to the teeth, their weapons and equipment hidden from their brows never seen before, and the ornaments on their shiny shields she had never seen before.
The stried, stripped with white cloth over their buttocks, bowed their heads and trotted hastily. That feminine appearance and demeanor made Yin Xinmei know that these people were eunuchs at a glance.
No one responded in any way to her resistance, and it seems that she was not the first captive to be treated like this.
She gave up her struggle in despair, and it seemed that the Eternal King had abandoned her completely, just as she had been on the night of the Nightmare Trial, and she had no help.
As the giant's footsteps continued deeper into the hallway, the damp mist and sweet spice smell grew stronger.
After turning a few labyrinthine curves and forks, they came to a huge marble bathroom.
Cyclops lowered his eyebrows, but luckily he didn't throw her to the ground like a bag of stones, otherwise with his height, she would have broken her leg if she didn't die.
The huge and spacious blue jade bath, filled with cinnamon, calamus, lily, ambergris and civet incense, is probably the most fragrant place in the world.
The immensely high jade dome is adorned with five flaming brass braziers that serve as heating and lighting fixtures in the baths, and are surrounded by transparent floor-to-ceiling crystal windows half-covered with light veils or elaborate mosaics of elaborate paintings.
Around the bathrooms are couches of varying lengths and long armchairs, layered with smooth silks and animal skins.
Three wisterias, azaleas, and phoenix trees that pierced the dome were planted in huge pots on the bath floor, and the vines of centenarians and stars wrapped around these beautiful trees, and long strips of paper and buds hung down, dipped in the warm water of the bath, like the writhing arms of a beautiful woman.
Many brightly coloured birds perched on top of the plants, many of which she could not even name, and from time to time they made melodious calls, but she recognized them as parrots, blue crested doves, colourful toucans, and crested green cuckoos
What surprised her the most was that it was full of half-naked young women, some lazily soaking in the bathtub. Some were wrapped in translucent tulle and squinted on the soft couch, holding long hookah pipes in their hands, while others gathered in groups by the crystal window to laugh and whisper.
Hidden Eyebrow was shocked by the scene in front of her and retreated, but unexpectedly, she crashed into the iron wall behind her in a few steps—the one-eyed man with gold teeth followed her every step of the way.
Perhaps the man saw her extreme disgust at the sight before her, so he took her on his shoulders again and walked deeper into the bathroom.
In the thick fog that was almost unseemly visible, the giant removed the hidden eyebrows from his shoulders, this time placing her on a square stool with thick cushions, and then stood beside her with his hands behind his back and his feet spread apart, like prison guards.
After her eyes adjusted to the confusion and cloudiness brought by the fog to her eyesight, she finally saw the scene in front of her.
A long-haired man, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in a white satin robe, was lying on his back in a mahogany rocking chair with his chest open, his glass in one hand and the other behind his head.
There was a young woman with long black hair, wrapped in a long tulle identical to the Hidden Eyebrow, except that hers was goose-yellow. The woman was kneeling between the long-haired man's legs, her hands on the base of his thighs, serving him with all her might in some way.
Yin Xinmei looked at this disgusting scene in disbelief, and his eyes showed an undisguised look of evil.
Are all the people around here blind, and don't they have the least sense of shame and morality?187
She glanced around angrily, and the eight heavily armed guards flanking the long-haired man were like clay puppets, oblivious to what they were doing.
She looked sideways at the terrible face of the one-eyed gold-toothed giant, who happened to be looking down on him as well, and her anger outweighed her fear, and she glared back at the giant unceremoniously and viciously.
"You don't have to look at Beartooth," said the long-haired man in a thick foreign accent, word for word, "he's nothing more than a dog of mine, and I'll bring whoever I tell him to bring here." ”
Before he could reply, the man gave the woman kneeling in front of his lap a loud slap and roared in a low voice, "Hard! Eugenie! I bought you back from the bustard, but I didn't let you kneel in front of me every day to play with bubbles!"
The woman let out a muffled whimper, and her head rose and fell more violently, and when the man saw this, he half-narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and raised his glass comfortably to take a small sip.
Her stomach was churning violently, and she wanted to pounce on it and tear the man's triumphant face, and then let him taste the same humiliation as the eunuchs outside.
She resisted the urge to kill, but her mental activity was revealed on her face, her teeth creaking, and the fist on her lap clenched to the point that her fingertips turned white.
"There's no need to be angry," the long-haired man said with a sneer as he caught a glimpse of his hidden eyebrows, "this is the only way for them to survive, I just saved their lives by adapting to their abilities." ”
"I don't need you to save my life," said Yin Xinmei, gritting his teeth, "My fiancé will find me and tear you to pieces." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, one of the guards rushed out, grabbed her by the back of her hair, forced her to lift her face, and slapped her in the face seven or eight times in a storm, and then slammed her back in the chair.
"Do you dare to speak to the great king of Babylon in such a tone, captive?" cried the guard.
"I think you're probably deaf," Hidden Eyebrow wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and said clearly word by word, "I'll say it again—my fiancé will find me and tear you all to pieces." ”
"And," the guard lifted up his foot to kick her down, but was caught by the Hidden Eyebrow, and the guard staggered and nearly fell on his back, "and I tell you—I am the regent of all the land of Velogosa, the queen of many nations, the daughter of the King of Eternity, the ruler of the messenger of the gods—and if you dare to be disrespectful to me, the flame of the wrath of the King of Eternity will surely come upon you who have done iniquity, and you will die of thunder and lightning, and of famine, and of swords, and of fear! I swear that I will bring the most terrible thing on the continent to you, that your flesh will be tortured seven times as cruelly, and that your souls will burn together in the lake of hell forever and ever!"
With that, she tried to break the guard's ankle and neck—as she could have done at the height of her strength—but her strength did not recover, and in the midst of the struggle, the guard finally broke free of her wrist, and then the spiked foot under the boot kicked her in the chest without mercy, leaving a bright red nail mark, and blood seeping out of it.
"You made the yellow-faced woman take off my original clothes and put on this disgusting gauze, right?" Hidden eyebrows stood up, bleeding from the corners of her mouth and chest, stained red with the sheer blue tulle and tight underwear buckles.
"I don't know if your servants have told you," she glared at the king of Babylon, "what they see in me." ”
"What do you have on you?" asked the king of Babylon, waving his hand impatiently, and the prostitute named Eugenie got up and fled.
"I've seen you quite a few unclothed women," said Hidden Smirk, "but—have you seen this?"
Yin Xinmei reached out and grabbed the cumbersome tight metal buckle, and pulled it hard, and the buckle broke and flew to both sides.
"Do you see the demon stamp?" "Hidden eyebrows, eyes radiating a cruel light, and a hoarse low voice, as if the man in front of her was her lover, "Do you like it?"
The smug smile on the King of Babylon's face seemed to be erased by an invisible hand, and the glass in his hand shattered on the marble floor, and the wine flowed to the ground—his face turned iron blue in an instant!
