Lingyun cave.
”Cavemaster, we've already made inquiries. The grand wedding of the Prince's estate will be held in the future.”
”Alright.” The person who answered cut the candle wick short with a pair of scissors. His eyes were filled with excitement.
What could be more exciting than a prey that was about to be caught?
”Cave Lord, Wang Yinle refuses to eat, you see …” His subordinates were a little puzzled. Normally, the men who were captured by the Cavemaster wouldn't live past three days. Who knew what ability this Wang Yinle had to actually be able to make the Cavemaster ”flirt” with him?
”A hunger strike?” After a moment of hesitation, he said, ”Fine, let's go and see him.”
No one knew the true name of the owner of the Cloud Mist Cave. He was always wearing a veil and did not reveal his true face.
His greatest hobby was to capture handsome men. He didn't know why, but those men would die in less than three days.
Perhaps it was just as the rumors said, the cave master was a fox spirit that specialized in absorbing yang energy from males.
His men were loyal to him and did not dare to rebel. As long as they betrayed him, they would be severely punished.
Wang Yinle was none other than Wang's son, Wang Jingrou's brother.
When he saw the Cavemaster appear, his lips curled up in a smile. ”I thought you had forgotten me.”
”I heard you're on a hunger strike?” The Master of the Cave picked up a bowl filled with rice from the table and spread it all over his face. His cold voice resounded through the cave. ”It's great that he's dead.”
Wang Yinle was still sitting on a rock, calmly taking the grains of rice off his face one by one. ”Who are you trying to take revenge on?”
The Cavemaster sneered. ”Whose revenge? Of course it's to take revenge on the men who are heartless to the world! ”
Wang Yinle raised his eyes, his eyes empty. ”You will be happy if you kill us?”
It was said that killing people for their own amusement, but if it was really done, it would only deepen the sin.
”That's none of your business.” ”What do you think you are? Just like them, you deserve to die.”
Wang Yinle got up, still feeling dizzy even though he had not eaten, and slowly opened his mouth. ”I admit my guilt, but why did you keep me alive?”
”Because at some point, you are different from them.” The Cavemaster was dressed in white, her long hair draped over her back. She did not make any decorations, and it was unknown what kind of expression she had on her face under the veil.
”I'm all ears.”
”You are not afraid of death. The men who were captured by me all knelt and begged for mercy, begging me to spare their lives. However, you did not.” ”I thought you were all the same, cowering in fear of death, only knowing how to bully women. But from the beginning to the end, you didn't beg me for anything.”
”Just because of this?” Wang Yinle gave a wry smile. ”Because I know, begging you is useless.”
How could the meticulous and mysterious Master of the Cave forgive someone so easily?
”It's because you didn't beg me that I wanted to keep you.” The Cavemaster sat down on the stone bench and faced him. ”I want to try. If I let you watch me kill another man, will you go crazy?”
This was like a game, the rules of the game were set by oneself, and the outcome depended on this man.
But think about it, even if he could survive this ordeal, what was the point? To lose one's freedom was to kill.
”Enough is enough.” This was Wang Yinle's advice.
”You will only advise me to stop when the time is right, but what about you? Where are you men with the face of a beast? When you are trying to poison women, do you think you can stop? ”
