Poison Genius Consort

met as one, it was harder to tear them apart.
The subordinate began to work the blades to cut through the connecting nail and flesh until it split into halves.

Uncle Chen was in such excruciating pain that he could only stare straight ahead with bloodshot eyes.
But this wasn’t the most painful part yet.
Everything had just begun.
After successfully cutting a vertical slit in the thumbnail, the subordinate began to cut left and right along its base until he got the whole thing off, leaving only a mangled, bloody mess behind.

And this was just the first nail! There were 19 others left to go!

The subordinate never gave Uncle Cheng time to rest as he cut through one nail after the other.
By the time he reached the third nail on his foot, Uncle Cheng finally turned to face Ning Cheng.

(Torture Description Ends Here)

Uncle Cheng’s eyes were wide as he gazed towards Ning Cheng.
There was no pleading, hatred, or resentment in his pupils, only a dead stare.
Ning Cheng allowed him to look without changing his expression.
It wasn’t until the subordinate finished his toenails and moved onto his fingers that Uncle Cheng’s eyes finally gave way to tears.
Unfortunately, Ning Cheng was unrepentant and didn’t say a word.

The veins of the ten fingers were connected to the heart, ah.
Cutting through them was multiple times more painful than the toenails.
Uncle Cheng’s body began shuddering from the intense agony as his face flooded with tears.

Jun Yixie simply watched the whole thing as an interested observer.
He had discovered today just how venomous and vicious Ning Cheng could be, how unfeeling and cold-blooded.[2] He was even feeling rather regretful for not getting to meet the man earlier.
Perhaps their relationship wouldn’t have soured to this point–perhaps they might even have become allies long ago.[3]

After all of his nails were cut off, Uncle Cheng almost lost consciousness from all the pain.
With a muddled head, he remained lying on the torture rack in utter despair.
Jun Yixie sat up lazily from his chair and said with a grin, “Ning Cheng, the good show’s over.
Shall we talk about the alliance now?”

“I want to kill him with my own hands!” Ning Cheng said as he stared at the befuddled Uncle Cheng with eyes of loathing.

Jun Yixie shrugged and said generously, “Of course you can.”

With a glance, he had the soldiers releasing Ning Cheng from his fetters.
Ning Cheng looked around as he searched for a suitable weapon.

“Here, use this lord’s sword!” Jun Yixie offered heroically.
It was his proof of sincerity towards their future alliance.

Expressionlessly, Ning Cheng walked over and took the sword before turning towards Uncle Cheng again.

“Those who deserve death will all die sooner or later,” he said frostily.

Abruptly, he raised his weapon, but unexpectedly slashed towards Jun Yixie instead! Caught off guard, Jun Yixie could only dodge, but the cell was so tiny and his sword so lengthy that he couldn’t avoid the blow at all.
In a flash, the weapon had reached Jun Yixie’s stomach.
Seconds before a fatal stab, soldiers swarmed in to grab Ning Cheng’s hand while Jun Yixie kicked the man away!

All of the soldiers gathered into a human wall in front of Jun Yixie while Ning Jing was left kneeling on one foot by Uncle Cheng’s side, supporting himself on Jun Yixie’s sword.

Jun Yixie placed pressure against his bleeding stomach while he cursed.
“Ning Cheng, you’re courting death! You’ve disappointed this lord once again! This lord will definitely make you pay!”

Ning Cheng only regarded him coldly with his eye before killing his way through the crowds.
He had sounded out Jun Yixie multiple times throughout the past days as well as asked Uncle Cheng plenty of questions.
Although he had no idea who took Ning Jing and the others away, or whether they were kidnapped or rescued, he was certain of one thing: Jun Yixie had lost all of his hostages except for him and couldn’t track the rest down.

In other words, he was the only hostage left.

As far back at Skyriver City, he had made preparations to die together with Jun Yixie.
If the northern expedition hadn’t been delayed, he might have stabbed this man much earlier.
As long as he was dead, Jun Yixie would have no way to threaten the princess and the rest.
He was destined to lose! Perhaps his death would cause internal strife within the Di Clan, but that was better than him being used as blackmail against the princess.
The current conditions at Northern Li meant it was impossible for either Jun Yixie or the Northern Li emperor to spare troops and resources on another war.
East Qin’s army was enough to head the expedition alone.

If the Di Clan was going to fall into chaos, then let it go! At least–at least it would have followed the rules, obeyed its mission, and never betrayed West Qin while he was still alive and commanding its members.

At least he could die with a clear conscience!

In the end, the handful of soldiers was no match for Ning Cheng, while Jun Yixie was too heavily wounded to fight back.
A few soldiers shielded Jun Yixie as they helped him out of the cell while the guards outside came in as reinforcements.
Soon enough, poison guards had surrounded the prison cell tightly on all sides.

Ning Cheng quickly slaughtered his way out through the normal guards.
Even so, he wouldn’t last long against their poison counterparts!

Dude, can’t you tell NC’s baiting you?

Low-watt bulb, are alarms not going off in your head yet? You know the lengths he’ll go to get his way…what makes you think he’ll cave so easily to yours?

Perhaps you’re thinking of the plot of a BL novel instead, Jun Yixie.
