Chapter 292 - Bear with It

Chapter 292 – Bear with It
The stone door started to rumble, closing slowly. The fat white man waddled toward her slowly.
He had a stout build, unkempt hair, and his face seemed swollen. In addition, his eyes looked dead. No matter how Lu Mingshu looked at him, he didn’t seem to be the Drug Lord she had heard about from the others, the one who used outrageous methods.
The fat man stared at her intensely and scanned her carefully. He then mumbled to himself, “Not a high cultivation, should be only three to four years into the Harmonization Realm… no wait, only one to two years. Oh, so talented!” The fat man licked his lips and laughed. “Great thing! Young, healthy, and talented. She can last me for almost ten years! Tie her up now!”
The guards got to their feet immediately and tied Lu Mingshu to a pillar in the middle of a giant wooden bucket.
Lu Mingshu tried to struggle. She hated the feeling of being manipulated by others as they wished. She tried hard to suppress the urge of fighting back.
Wait a while. It’s not time yet.
“Little cutie, don’t move!” The fat man grinned from ear to ear as he pacified her. “I’ll show you something good!”
Lu Mingshu felt like vomiting. Little cutie? That’s the most disgusting shit I’ve ever heard!
“You’re the Drug Lord?”
“Ah, yes! But hey, don’t listen to other people’s nonsense, everything here is good, it’s just that not everyone has the privilege to see it!” While talking, the fat man started to fumble around. He might’ve been fat, but he did things quickly; in no time, he finished mixing all the chemicals on the table into an extremely smelly dark green liquid.
Lu Mingshu was just sitting there, tied up already.
“Let down the water now!” The fat man clapped in excitement.
One of the guards immediately took a bamboo tube, and clear water flowed down from it into the bucket.
“Hey, stop it! What do you want?” Lu Mingshu furrowed her eyebrows and screamed at the top of her lungs. “Let me warn you first; there are people who witnessed me getting sucked into the water dragon tornado! They will be here soon, so you better not do anything!”
The Drug Lord laughed out loud at her. “Little cutie, how naive can you be? What can they do even if they saw it? I have enough men now, and they will never get to see that vortex ever again, my dear. Hahaha!”
Lu Mingshu’s heart sank. She said that to test him, but it didn’t work out the way she thought it would. The Drug Lord’s energy was very complicated, and she could tell that something went wrong with his cultivation. He was in the Spirit Realm at most, and not a strong one, so how could he be able to create the water dragon tornado?
“Little cutie, enjoy this! Look at your young body, how pretty it is!”
A perverted tone and words. If one didn’t see what was happening, they might think it was some disgusting scenario.
The reality wasn’t that much better, it was just a different type of disgusting.
The guard only stopped putting water in when the water reached Lu Mingshu’s neck.
The Drug Lord then slowly poured the bowl of green liquid into the water. He smiled happily when doing so.
As soon as it was poured into the water, it spread out evenly almost immediately. What was weird was that such a small bowl of liquid didn’t dilute even after being mixed with water. Instead, it contaminated the whole bucket of water.
The smell became stronger, and soon it was so overpowering, smelly, and sour that Lu Mingshu felt like puking. However, among the unpleasant smell, she could smell a hint of pleasant herbal smell too.
At first, Lu Mingshu was extremely alert. But, to her surprise, the green liquid didn’t cause her the extreme pain that she was expecting. Instead, it felt weirdly comfortable being soaked inside, and it came with a minty feel.
“See, it’s good, right?” The Drug Lord looked at her with a smile. Not even waiting for Lu Mingshu’s answer, he immediately poured another bowl of liquid down. This time, it was bright red in color.
“Here, here, here. There we go! Little cutie, bear with it!”
The liquid was slowly poured into the green water.
A reaction happened almost immediately when the two liquids met. Like swords clashing, the two liquids mixed with each other, then turned into an odd purple color.
As soon as the purple water came in contact with Lu Mingshu’s skin, it was like numerous needles stabbing her all around her body.
“Ahhhhh!” Lu Mingshu screamed, unable to contain the pain.
Hearing her excruciating screams, the Drug Lord became even more excited. “Hahaha. I told you to bear with it! It will be done soon! Wait a while more.”
One who had never been through this would not understand the pain. Not only was it like needles piercing through all parts of the body, it was like numerous brushes made out of needles brushing against the body hard. Lu Mingshu thought that she had good pain tolerance, but this was so painful that she couldn’t take it, as if her organs were plucked out and mixed around. This is the torture they mentioned, huh?
‘Little cutie, just relax! Only a bit more.” The Drug Lord burst with excitement. He skipped back to the stone table and took more liquids back, pouring them in one by one.
Some on the liquids relieved the pain, but some intensified it. Lu Mingshu felt that she was at her limits already, and she could no longer hold it. She clenched her fist, trying to break free, but the rope was tight and suppressed all her mystic force, so she was unable to escape.
“Ah…!” She reached her limits, and she was writhing in pain now. Lu Mingshu felt like her skin was torn out and her bones were crushed until nothing was left. She felt like there were numerous pins piercing through her continuously, as if trying to fill her with holes.
Even though she was currently in deep pain, Lu Mingshu was still somehow awake. The weak ray of light in front of her was like a seed being planted into her dantian, growing brighter among the messed up mystic force. The ray of light got brighter as the mystic force got messier. No matter what, the light remained.
The excruciating pain that was everywhere, messed up mystic force, a weak ray of light…
Lu Mingshu couldn’t remember what happened afterward. The pain made her unable to think properly. Now, she was back at the cell, with a bucket of clear water and clothes next to her.
She stared at the ceiling blankly, feeling lifeless.
“Silly girl’s still not awake?” the uncle’s voice rang across the cell.
That was followed by the old woman’s voice. She wasn’t replying to him, but talking to herself. “True. Her first time will make her unconscious for at least one or two days. Haish, such an idiot. Why go to such an extent for a lover? This isn’t something for a little girl.”
“Grandma…”
“Kiddos sure are impulsive….”
“I’m not here for my lover.” Lu Mingshu held the pain in and sat up.
“…huh? You’re awake?”
