Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!-Chapter 1472 - 335: The Commandery Princess’s Crisis (Part 2)
Chen Jie applied more force to his grip, feeling Lan’s neck becoming increasingly breathless. Lan suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait... I have something I can trade for my life!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Chen Jie was stunned, looked at Lan and said: "What is it."
"Cough cough, let me go first, cough cough..."
Lan desperately tried to breathe, Chen Jie looked at her, Lan knew if she didn’t offer something valuable, she wouldn’t survive. She then looked at Chen Jie and said: "Concerning the Commandery Princess."
Hmm!
With those words, Chen Jie immediately released his grip, concerning Yaya.
With a thud, Lan fell to the ground, clutching her throat desperately coughing, cough cough cough...
Upon hearing those words, Chen Jie looked at Lan and said: "Speak, if you dare utter a falsehood, I will absolutely make you wish for death!"
Lan then opened her mouth and said: "Cough cough... I’ll speak, but you must guarantee not to kill me, otherwise I won’t say a word even if I die!"
Chen Jie looked at Lan and said: "Not speaking, then aren’t you aware of how cruel Han people’s punishments are? I have a subordinate named Zhou Junchen, a cruel official, who particularly enjoys torturing people. Among the punishments, one is particularly suitable for you."
"What punishment?"
Lan looked at Chen Jie and asked, Chen Jie laughed and said: "It’s called dragging intestines!"
"It involves hanging a weight on your anus, then hoisting you up high, when released, the weight drags your intestines down together."
"That must be a splendid sight to behold."
"Baka, how can you be so perverted!"
Lan was terrified by this gruesome punishment, her eyes widened, Chen Jie said: "Don’t get nervous yet, this is just one of the thirty-six severe tortures my subordinate has, besides this, there are seventy-two minor tortures, altogether one hundred and eight punishments, there’s definitely one that will satisfy you, so will you speak now, or should I invite you to speak?"
Lan then looked at Chen Jie and said: "Even if you torture me, make me wish for death, I won’t reveal the secret to you. Plus, this secret concerns the Commandery Princess, if you don’t find out in time, I’m afraid you’ll live in agony for your entire life. Chen Jiusi, do you dare to gamble?"
Lan had already taken a gamble, after all, whether sticking her head out or hiding it, it’s all the same; if Chen Jiusi can’t give her a way to live, she’d rather die than divulge the secret.
As for enduring some torture, what of it? Back when she was learning skills, she let her master and six Uncle Masters play with her for three days and nights, only then did she earn the qualification to learn.
And the entire process of learning was exceedingly brutal, she grew amidst torture, and when she matured into a qualified Iga Ninja, the first thing she did was to kill her master and those six old fellow Uncle Masters.
Precisely because of her twisted growth environment, she also became sufficiently twisted, so come on.
She clenched her teeth, unless Chen Jiusi agreed, she’d rather die than speak.
Chen Jie looked at Lan in this state, his gaze tightened and said: "Fine, I can leave you with your life, but I will abolish your Martial Arts, that’s the minimum."
"Abolish my Martial Arts!"
Lan was shocked, then immediately looked at Chen Jie, just about to speak, Chen Jie said: "If you disagree with this, then you can take your secret to your grave!"
Lan looked at Chen Jie’s resolute attitude, pondered for a moment then said: "Alright, swear to only destroy my Martial Arts and not harm my life, then I’ll speak, swear on your wife!"
Chen Jie squinted his eyes, and Lan said: "I heard you love your wife the most, then swear on your wife!"
Chen Jie said nothing, looked at Lan and said: "Alright, I swear, I’ll only destroy your cultivation, never take your life, otherwise my family will perish."
"Now can you speak?"
Chen Jie looked at Lan and asked, Lan looked at Chen Jie after he spoke, pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth and said: "Alright, I’ll tell you what you want to know."
"Do you know who Princess Zhao Ya’s fiancé is?"
After asking this question, Lan looked at Chen Jie.
"I don’t know, who is it?"
Chen Jie was actually very curious about Princess Zhao Ya’s fiancé, wondering exactly who could make Ruyang King take it so seriously, even considering it of utmost importance, though Chen Jie had some guesses in his mind.
Someone marrying Princess Zhao Ya must be from a family of equal standing, so it could only be some princes or younger Vassal Kings from various regions.
Even the future Sect Leader of a top sect is a possibility.
Chen Jie had a rough idea.
Just then Lan looked at Chen Jie and said: "Presumably, your guesses are nothing more than princes and princely heirs, right?"
Chen Jie said: "Hmm."
Lan said: "No, think carefully, if it were an ordinary prince, or a princely heir, how could Ruyang King, who guards half of Jiangnan, exhaust himself to such lengths, find out that you have feelings for the Commandery Princess, and couldn’t help but send me to kill you, to avoid further complications."
Chen Jie was stunned upon hearing this and said: "Your meaning is, that person’s identity could make even Ruyang King feel fear?"
Lan looked at Chen Jie and said: "Exactly, that person’s identity is too high, no one in this world has a higher status than him!"
Chen Jie’s face changed and said: "The Emperor?!!"
Upon hearing this, Lan glanced at Chen Jie, then her face showed a teasing smile and said: "Indeed, it’s your Daqian’s Emperor, Emperor Shun!"
Chen Jie’s eyes widened suddenly and said: "Don’t lie to me, Emperor Shun is already nearing fifty, about the same age as Ruyang King, and Emperor Shun is Ruyang King’s first cousin, he’s the Commandery Princess’s uncle, how could he marry the Commandery Princess!"
Upon hearing this, Lan looked at Chen Jie with some confusion and said: "You’re not shocked by his identity, but rather by his relationship to the Commandery Princess?"
