Chapter 19.1
In the future, don’t casually let anyone —
Qin Jue listened to her harsh words but did not care. He looked back behind him. He had released the signal, so the Inspection Department’s team should have arrived. Those killers were seriously injured and couldn’t run far, so the Inspection Department’s team could catch them easily. Feeling at ease, he then looked at the almost unconscious woman in his arms. Seeing they were not far away from a house, he directly rushed over, striding into the door while holding Luo Wanqing.
The host rushed to welcome him, and Qin Jue raised his hand to give him a handful of gold beads and said coldly: “Let us stay here tonight.”
Seeing the gold beads and Qin Jue’s bloody figure, the host didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly took the gold beads and led his family to leave.
Luo Wanqing didn’t dare to sleep. She struggled to maintain her sanity, intermittently listening to Qin Jue’s voice. This person wanted to kill her, so he was no longer considered safe. She only said those words to stabilize him, hoping he was not so bad. Perhaps she could exchange this saving grace for a bit of his conscience. But now she didn’t dare to believe a word he said and didn’t dare to sleep next to him.
How could Qin Jue not know this little mind of hers? Sweeping a glance at her condition, he didn’t want to pay attention to her winding. Qin Jue put her on the bed. After laying her down, he reached out to check her bones. Noticing the position he wanted to touch, Luo Wanqing’s complexion flinched. She moved back as far as she could, fiercely grabbing his hand and urgently saying, “What are you going to do?!”
“Your bone molding is only half-done,” Qin Jue stared at her and said solemnly, “If you don’t continue, you’ll be disabled!”
Luo Wanqing grabbed his hand, pursed her lips, and didn’t move. Qin Jue looked at her injured body and softened his tone: “You can not believe me. But do you need me to say what’s your situation? If I don’t save you, you’ll die. If I save you, you’ll still have a chance. Believe me or not, it’s your choice.”
Luo Wanqing didn’t say anything. She looked at Qin Jue’s face, which rarely lost its smile for a long time, and finally released his hand. She unwillingly twisted her head away, getting back down, burying her head into the pillow, and softly saying, “Don’t take out the clothes. I don’t want to have any mistakes at all.”
Qin Jue’s movements paused, then answered, “Okay.” As he said that, Luo Wanqing felt a chill on her body as he tore open her clothes, revealing her bruised back. Qin Jue glanced at her, then stuffed a torn cloth from her clothes into her mouth, calmly saying, “Don’t bite your tongue.”
Luo Wanqing bit down on the cloth, and it was at that moment that Qin Jue used his finger as a blade to slice through her flesh. After ripening her skin, he probed into the flesh and blood. Luo Wanqing instantly bit down on the cotton cloth in her mouth and clenched her fists.
Qin Jue glanced at her and only said, “Don’t move. Hold it in. You have too many bone fragments. I have to pick them first.”
Luo Wanqing couldn’t speak. She forced herself not to dodge. However, she was in too much pain. Her muscles became tensed, and her whole body was trembling. Qin Jue glanced at her and said calmly, “Relax, don’t tense your muscles.”
Luo Wanqing listened to his words and tried to relax. However, as soon as Qin Jue touched her, the pain came in a jolt, and she was again out of control.
Qin Jue quietly looked at her and finally said, “If you can’t handle it, you can only wait for death.”
Hearing this, Luo Wanqing paused slightly in her movements, allowing her to close her eyes and gasp for breath, calming herself down before finally saying, “Do it.”
Qin Jue resumed his movements, and Luo Wanqing focused her consciousness on the wound, relaxing the places he touched. This focus allowed her to perceive his actions. She felt his fingertips turning over her flesh and blood, and a keenness amplified all her senses, including pain. Cold sweat fell from her forehead as she clenched her fists and lay on her back, feeling as if she were a fish being disemboweled alive. Her sanity was clear as she felt herself being cut piece by piece, yet the lynching was far from ending. From her back to her toes, Luo Wanqing hurt so much that nothing was left but pain. Sharp pain, burn pain, all kinds of pain — It was as if she had suffered all the pain in the human world.
Qin Jue’s movements finally stopped, and her pain eased a little. Dazed and confused, she opened her eyes and hoarsely said, “Is it ready?”
“Ready to start.” Qin Jue replied.
Luo Wanqing froze. She opened her misty eyes and looked towards Qin Jue at her side. Qin Jue raised his hand, placed it on her vertebrae, and slowly said, “I cleaned up the broken bones that you left in your body from your self-molding. Now, I’ll crush your bones and reshape them. I’ll use my true qi to protect you through this process. This reshaping process will be painful, so you bear with it. “
He had just finished his words, and his hand violently crushed her bones. Severe pain rushed straight to her soul. She could no longer hold back and violently screamed out! In that instant, her mind went blank, like countless needles stabbing at her tendons, a dense itch amidst the pain, interspersed with the intense pain of cracking bones exploding together all around her. She forgot everything and wanted to escape, instinctively wanted to run! She tried to struggle frantically, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t do anything! All she could do was lie on her back and bear the extreme pain, wailing out fiercely.
