Long Feiye simply let go of the lifeline in his hands!

Su Xiaoyu went hurtling towards the ground with a shriek, “AhhhHHHhhh!”

The rope in Long Feiye’s hands went by at flying speeds, quickly approaching the end. Once there was no more rope left, Su Xiaoyu would crash to the ground as well.

“AHhhhhh…ahhHHHHHh…..”

She saw the earth come up to meet her and squeezed her eyes shut as she screamed. It was an instinctive reaction to sudden impending death. But abruptly, all went still.

Su Xiaoyu’s eyes flew open, her head spinning from the sudden acceleration from her fall. Her ears were roaring too, and she quickly realized that her head was less than a inch from the ground. In other words, she’d missed death by a hair. The realization made Su Xiaoyu suck in a cold breath. So close, so close! If Long Feiye had been any slower with that rope, my brains would be all over the floor by now.

So close! She had already figured out a way to deal with Han Yunxi, so how could die just like that? And in such a horrifying way? It really was scary!

Hateful Long Feiye, why did he come back so soon? Su Xiaoyu was flustered, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. Even if Long Feiye was back, she wasn’t afraid. She had her own counter to deal with them. She refused to make a peep until Long Feiye pulled her back up. From this angle, all she could see were Long Feiye and Han Yunxi’s shoes. How was she supposed to talk to them like this?

But Long Feiye didn’t bring her back up. Instead, he handed the rope over to a guard before approaching her with Han Yunxi. Su Xiaoyu realized that things weren’t going as planned and raged, “If you want to talk with me, then get me off that rope!”

Trussed up and hung upside down, Su Xiaoyu could only see Long Feiye’s feet. If she’d been able to see his face, she would’ve given up arguing in the first place. Long Feiye’s current expression was that of inviolate ice. Even Han Yunxi didn’t dare to let her down, much less anyone else. He walked very close to Su Xiaoyu. The girl was so short that she didn’t even come up to his waist. She tried her best to look up, but still couldn’t see his face. He was like a mountain to her.

Still, Su Xiaoyu stubbornly suppressed the fear in her heart and ignored him. She said in a cold tone to Han Yunxi, “Qin Wangfei, you didn’t kill me because you want to get information from my lips. I’ve thought it through as well—we can have a proper discussion as soon as you let me go.”

Han Yunxi was about to reply when Long Feiye gave a cold harumph. “You won’t have a chance for any discussions.”

At his words, Han Yunxi knew she didn’t have to say a thing.

“I wasn’t talking to you,” Su Xiaoyu retorted.

Long Feiye simply had the rope pulled up until Su Xiaoyu was suspended in the air again. She hung about a man’s length from the ground and assumed that Long Feiye would start questioning her, but he simply commanded, “Someone come, set a pot beneath her and boil some water. Your lordship wants her to taste the feeling of being scalded!”

Set up a pot? Boil water?
