Chapter 95 (2/2)

“Madam, don’t say that . We are members of the Long household, and we will be part of the Long household even in death . We don’t regret anything,” firmly said Bao-er who was beside Mrs . Long .

“Hmph, you want a next life? Just keep on dreaming . Your Long household really is just a group of idiots,” coldly said a man with a long blade in his hand .

Mrs . Long glared hatefully at that man, her eyes filled with poison . She wished she could tear that man apart .

“Li Feng, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, even as a ghost I won’t forgive you . ” Mrs . Long ground her teeth .

That person was one of the officers in charge of the execution and was her older sister’s son . Looking at him caused Mrs . Long to feel a needle-like pain in her heart .

Back when her family had ignored her, she had been completely dejected . But recently when they had warmed back up to her, her mood had completely reversed . Although she knew they were currying favor, they were her family after all . She still forgave them .

But who would have thought that her closest family would force her Long household into the depths of despair . That had truly caused her to feel endless resentment .

She remembered back when Aman had returned to the Long household . Seeing her, the first thing he had said was, “Quickly go ask for grandmaster Yun Qi’s help . ” He then fainted straight away .

Back when Ying Hou had gone to chase after Long Chen, Aman had been completely exhausted . After just resting for a moment, he had suddenly remembered what Long Chen had told him and rushed back to the capital .

Who knew whether it was Aman’s luck that was great or whether Ying Hou’s subordinates were incompetent, but Aman managed to return without any resistance .

But he hadn’t dared to stop to eat . He relied only on his willpower to sustain himself until he reached the Long household . After saying a single line, he had been overcome by his exhaustion and fainted .

Aman hadn’t noticed that at that time, Mrs . Long was in the midst of chatting with her older sister’s family . But perhaps even if he had noticed, he wouldn’t have done anything different .

When Aman had fainted, Mrs . Long had hastily shouted for people to help . Her older sister had immediately comforted and called over two people who weren’t that far away .

Aman had fainted due to hunger . In order to awaken, they had brought over several bowls of water, but Aman still hadn’t showed any signs of awakening .

Just when Mrs . Long had felt that something hadn’t been right, she suddenly smelled a certain thing and immediately lost consciousness . But right before her eyes completely closed, she saw her older sister’s smile that was full of ridicule .

When she once more awakened, the entire Long household had been thrown into a dark prison . That caused Mrs . Long to be filled with regret and hatred, as well as a deep sense of self-blame .

Li Feng coldly smiled when he looked at her . “Even as ghosts you’ll hate me? Hmph, even as ghosts you’d just be a group of idiot ghosts not worth interacting with . Ten years ago you were all also this stupid . At that time we had already decided to split worlds with you in order to avoid being implicated . And now its seems you’ve become even dumber . After just saying a few random words, you actually ended up completely trusting us . If such an idiot didn’t die, then it really would be a defiance of the heavens . ”

Mrs . Long trembled in anger . Tears flowed down her face, but she didn’t say anything . This was her family?!

“You don’t need to cry . As my relative, I’ll help end your sorrow by speeding things up a bit . You won’t feel any pain . ” Li Feng gently shook his blade and continued, “But aunt, I really do need to thank you . Once I chop off your head, my career will quickly advance . Now that so many people are about to die in high positions, there’s many openings for some lucrative posts . One of those spots will definitely be mine . Once I’m rich I definitely won’t forget aunt’s favor . During the New Year I will definitely burn some paper money for you, haha . ”[1]

“Li Feng, you definitely won’t die a good death!” Bao-er cursed him to the side when she saw his satisfied smile . She really couldn’t stand seeing this despicable b.a.s.t.a.r.d . Thinking back to when acted so well-behaved back then, his current expression made her nauseous .

“Not a good death? Hehe, that’ll be you guys! Soon your heads will fall to the ground!” Li Feng sinisterly laughed at Bao-er .

Bang! Bao-er was just about to retort when a heavy figure was thrown to the ground beside her .

“Aman!” Mrs . Long let out a sorrowful cry .

Aman currently looked like a hedgehog with long iron needles stabbing him all over his body .

Those were torture tools called Bone Eroding Needles . There was a painful poison coated on them that could erode a person’s bones, causing the person to feel an intense pain deep in their marrow .

That kind of pain was something no one could resist . Most people were unable to even bear having one be pierced into them . Even cultivators would be unable to endure more than five of them . That kind of pain was enough to kill someone .

But Aman’s body was completely covered with that kind of needle . Aman’s ability to resist pain was absolutely shocking . Originally Aman had been unconscious, but when he had been thrown on the ground, those needles had once more p.r.i.c.ked his bones, causing him to awaken .

“Mom, you don’t need to be worried . Aman doesn’t feel any pain . ” Seeing Mrs . Long crying, Aman tried to comfort her, even forcing out a slight smile .

But the current Aman had loss so much weight that he was now skin and bones . His smile was actually extremely ugly now .

Back when Long Chen had first brought Aman back home, Long Chen had told Mrs . Long about his circ.u.mstances . He hoped that his mother would accept him as her adopted son .

Aman had called Mrs . Long mom the whole time, but Mrs . Long had always felt that that appellation was a bit strange and hadn’t replied to it .

But now when Aman called her that, she couldn't help feeling sour inside . “Aman, mom has let you down . ”
