Chapter 328 : It’s Not Easy Being the Head of Household 12 (1/2)

The little priest was locked in a dark, damp place. The frequent scurrying and squeaking of rats tormented his mind.

He was curled up in a corner and trembling slightly. ‘Why hasn’t Senior Brother rescued me yet?’

He had clearly fallen asleep in the temple, yet here he was in this awful place when he awoke. Blindfolded, he had no visual understanding of his current plight, but he could hear people speak.

“How is he?”

“Pretty good.”

“He hasn’t eaten anything for a day. I’m going to deliver some food to him; can’t let him go hungry.”

Creeeeak—

Gu Su did his best to curl up into a ball as the sound of footsteps approached him.

He felt a strong grip around his wrist as the person tugged him to his feet.

“This little sir’s pretty tender.” A slightly rough hand pinched his face.

Gu Su shrank away, startled, and spoke tremblingly, “W-who are you people? W-why did you kidnap me?”

But he was soon pulled into someone’s arms and then gagged..

“Mhm, mhm…” ‘Senior Brother, save me!’

“Is…this a good idea? They told us he couldn’t have a single hair missing.” The person’s partner hesitated, trying to convince her to leave Gu Su be.

“What’re you afraid of? Just be careful to not leave behind any marks and who would know? Shut the door. I won’t believe that you don’t feel like it either…”

After a brief while, Gu Su could hear the sound of the door shutting. The creaking sound pulled at his already tense consciousness.

Gu Su felt someone roughly tug off his clothing. A rough hand started gliding over his body.

‘No…’

Gu Su desperately shook his head. The thing covering his mouth was removed—but before he could shout, his mouth was covered once again as a tongue forced its way in, bringing an awful stench with it.

……

“Your Excellency, the trail leads here.” Dai Yue pointed at the courtyard in front of them.

Shi Sheng flicked her sword. “Enter.”

Dai Yue tried to hint at her, “Your Excellency, shouldn’t we be a bit stealthier?”

“What’s there to hide?” ‘So what if I’m seen? As if I’m scared of them!’

Seeing that Shi Sheng had nearly made it to the door already, Dai Yue hurriedly got the others to follow.

There weren’t many people in the courtyard. They were soon dealt with by Dai Yue and the rest. They soon learnt that Gu Su had been locked in the basement under the courtyard by these people.

When Shi Sheng brought her people into the basement, the sounds of women laughing lustfully and a young man’s whimpers echoed in the dark space.

Bang!

Shi Sheng kicked the door to the basement open, laying bare the scene inside for all to see.

Two burly women pressed a naked young man to the ground and was currently feeling him up. One of them had even taken off her pants.

The sudden sound of the door being kicked open caused the two to turn around. “Who is it?!”

“You beasts!” When Dai Yue caught sight of the scene inside, rage bubbled up in her heart. “He’s just a child!”

“Kill them.” Shi Sheng calmly looked at them.

Dai Yue rushed forward and dealt with the two women.

Gu Su curled up and did his best to shield himself from prying eyes. He felt clothes covering him, blocking his body from view.

Dai Yue looked at Shi Sheng, not knowing what to do. “Your Excellency?”

“What’re you looking at me for? Carry him! What? Do you want me to do it?”

Shi Sheng’s expression could currently be described as: ‘This Prime Minister’s hands are so noble, yet you want me to hold him? Are you retarded?’

“Oh, oh.” Dai Yue hurriedly covered Gu Su up and pulled off the black cloth covering his eyes, before taking him into her arms and gently comforting him, “It’s okay now. Our lady has come to rescue you.”

After being in darkness for a long time, the sudden influx of light caused Gu Su’s eyes to water.

His eyes adjusted after quite a while, but his body was still trembling.

The first thing he saw was the profile of the person holding him, her heroic features filled with distress as she gently patted his back.
