Chapter 1722

Xu Wenlong turned his head, gazing at Ximen Wudi, lying on the ground, barely breathing, his eyes revealing a cruel smile.

"Ximen Wudi, weren't you arrogant? Didn't you love tormenting men? Today, you'll taste what it's like to be with a man!"

As he spoke, he lifted Ximen Wudi and slung him over his shoulder, heading toward a cave.

"You four stay here and watch him—don't let him run off. I'll be back to deal with him soon!"

Several guards bowed respectfully in reply.

"Yes!"

……

"What's wrong with this guy?"

A group of youths stared at Ximen Wudi, lying motionless on the ground, with strange glances.

"I don't know—he was full of energy just a moment ago. How did he end up lying here motionless in the blink of an eye?"

"Could he be dead?"

Ximen Wudi's body suddenly trembled.

But this tremor didn't last long—it abruptly stopped.

Xu Zilong and the others had already left.

……

"Hm?"

A soft moan emerged from Ximen Wudi's throat.

He slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in a room.

"W-where am I?"

Ximen Wudi muttered to himself.

He tried to sit up.

But his entire body ached too much—he couldn't manage it.

Ximen Wudi strained to lift himself, finally getting a clear look at the structure of this dilapidated room.

The shabby room looked extremely crude; every wall was cracked, and some were even covered in spiderwebs, appearing utterly decrepit.

Ximen Wudi looked around and saw a cup of water and a small dish of vegetables beside the bedside table.

These were ordinary meals Ximen Wudi ate daily, but for someone like him—a pampered, noble young master raised in luxury—they felt like a blessing.

At that moment, footsteps sounded at the door.

Ximen Wudi's eyebrows twitched, then he closed his eyes again.

Soon, he felt a dark shadow standing before him.

"You're awake?"

Xu Zichen's cold voice came from beneath his mask.

Hearing Xu Zichen's voice, Ximen Wudi's eyelid twitched.

"Big brother, you… how did you come back?"

Ximen Wudi's face was pale, bloodless, his forehead drenched in cold sweat.

"How did I come back? Hah… if I hadn't returned, how could I have watched you die with my own eyes?"

Xu Zichen sneered: "No wonder you're my brother Xu Zichen—you've got guts indeed. I underestimated you!"

Upon hearing this, Ximen Wudi nearly wept, his heart filled with despair!

"N-no, don't kill me, I was wrong, I'll never dare again…"

"I swear I'll never cause trouble again…"

"I was wrong… I'll never dare again…"

Ximen Wudi's body shivered violently as he burst into tears.

"Hah, you admit you were wrong? But just now, you were so smug!"

Xu Zichen sneered.

"I-I really admit it, I was wrong!"

"Please, please, spare me!"

"I won't dare again—I don't want to die!"

Ximen Wudi's face twisted in anguish as he begged desperately.

"Spare you? When you treated Xu Zimo, you weren't this merciful!"

Xu Zichen sneered.

"I-I was wrong!"

Ximen Wudi knelt before Xu Zichen, banging his head against the ground like a pestle pounding rice.

"Too late!"

"You're already dead!"

Xu Zichen said calmly, raising his palm and striking down toward Ximen Wudi!

"Bang!"

"Splat!"

A muffled thud and the sound of spraying blood erupted suddenly.

"Plop!"

Ximen Wudi was flung several zhang away, crashing heavily to the ground; his mouth opened wide as a torrent of blood gushed out.

"No, no…"

"No, don't kill me…"

"I'll never dare again… please don't kill me!"

"Big brother, just spare me this once! I'll never dare again…"

Ximen Wudi struggled, lifting his head to look at Xu Zichen.

"I heard everything you just said to Xu Zimo!"

"You just wanted everyone to know my body is better than his, didn't you?"

"And you just wanted me to take off my pants to see if I even have one straight leg down there, didn't you?"

Xu Zichen looked down at Ximen Wudi and spoke coldly.

Ximen Wudi trembled violently all over.

He wanted to say something, but dared not speak.

"Speak! Why won't you speak?"

"Why are you afraid to speak?"

"Didn't I make myself clear just now?"

Xu Zichen let out a cold snort and slapped Ximen Wudi across the face.

Crack!

The sharp sound rang into Ximen Wudi's ears.

His cheek swelled instantly.

"I'll tell, I'll tell, I'll tell!"

Ximen Wudi cried out quickly.

Xu Zichen withdrew his hand and sneered, "Good thing you're smart. Otherwise, did you think I'd let you go?"

"I was wrong!"

"I won't dare again!"

Ximen Wudi kept banging his head, blood continuously dripping from his lips.

"Heh…"

"Do you really think I'll spare you?"
