Chapter 20 Cruelty Of The Heart
"Tell me what about my family? where are they? Did you do something to them? Are they captured somewhere, just like me? starving for weeks? tell me." the eldest boy spoke in a low voice, but in this ghostly silent place it was like raging thunder.
All of the children's hearts shook, they placed their innocent eyes filled with pain, suffering, and hope as they stared at Bai Ming.
A cold light flickered past Bai Ming's crimson irises, he knew that if he didn't handle this situation properly it would be a bit troublesome as it would not only be this child, but it would affect the other children as well.
Bai Ming wanted to raise these children as sacrifices or he might need useful pawns in the future when he leaves the Xuan mountain he might need some slaves, after all, they were high-grade talents. But even though he had some desire to raise them, but he wasn't willing to waste much time on them. After all, one can only rely on oneself. This was nothing more than a side mission in his view.
"Your parents, what about them? Do you think I have time to care about those lowly mortals. I didn't even spare them a glance. But.. weren't you going to kill yourself, what happened? scared? " Bai Ming spoke flawlessly, his tone casual and carefree.
The previously pathetic boy raised his head and looked at the Bai Ming, his eyes firm as he spoke "Do you really expect me to trust you, first of all you kidnapped us, then you made us starve for who knows how long. Driving us almost into insanity from hunger, then out of nowhere you come here and say that we are your slaves, just what do you take us for! are we even humans in your eyes!? Now tell me after all that you have done, why would I trust a single word that comes out of your filthy mouth! take me to my parents, once I see them with my own eyes I will do as you say."
"Hahaha, you fool do you think I give a damn, whether you trust me or not. But let me tell you something If you want to meet your family your only option is to trust me. If you trust me and do your job as a slave properly I will let you meet your family. But if you're unable to do that then, hehe you can take a trip to the underworld and wait for your parents there" Bai Ming spoke with much disdain, But inwardly he noticed the change in the boy in front of him, he felt a little displeased.
Silence.
"Since that is the case.... then I, Zi Feng will take a trip to the underworld!!" Zi Feng's eyes were firm and determined, he picked up the sword and placed it at his neck, he looked at Bai Ming once again, but this time his eyes were filled with contempt.
Bai Ming watched this expressionlessly, he carefully observed Zi Feng's expression. Bai Ming could only sigh, he knew that this kid unlike before was really going to kill himself. His face turned a shade darker, but Bai Ming was determined to make him his slave.
Bai Ming moved and grabbed the sword and took it back, next he gave the boy a tight slap.
"Foolish boy, you can only blame yourself. Hmph!" Bai Ming's voice was bone-chillingly cold, he grabbed the boy by his neck.
Next Bai Ming gazed at the surrounding children, he noticed a minute change in a few of them, his grip on the boy tightened.
"This kid, since this kid doesn't have any will to live. I will just have to give him a purpose, by making him hate me to the core. I have to create a desire for revenge inside him. But How do I go about it, torture..let's see if it works." Bai Ming's thoughts ran wild.
Bai Ming threw Zi Feng into the pit, Bai Ming ordered the remaining children to follow him as he entered the pit.
Bai Ming stood before Zi Feng, the latter was trying his hardest to get up after being thrown away like a piece of rotten meat, Bai Ming crouched down and gently patted Zi Feng's head, little Zi glared at Bai Ming with an icy look.
Bai Ming's expression didn't change, he slowly moved his hand and held little Zi's ear, with a tearing sound his ear was completely ripped off.
"AHHHH!!!" Little Zi let out an ear-piercing scream, blood spurted out crazily. His entire body rolled around in unbearable pain, screaming nonstop.
"Hehehehe...Hahahaha.." Bai Ming let out a maniacal laugh, his expression sinister.
Few of the children screamed in horror, one was watching with a terror-stricken face, and another directly closed his eyes. Bai Ming observed their reaction, he ordered the boys to watch carefully, if they didn't he would gouge their eyes out. Fear, they felt uncontrollable fear.
Bai Ming held little Zi's hand as he placed the severed ear in his hands. He spoke in a playful manner "Poor little Zi, how about it now? Do you acknowledge me as your master?"
"Spit, I... I will never submit to you, you won't kill me, take me to my parents otherwise I will definitely kill myself." Zi Feng stared at Bai Ming with endless hate.
"He still lacks some hate, I will continue torturing him for a while. but, if even that is not enough, hehehe" Bai Ming began to brutally torture again, he first broke some of his fingers, then plucked out his nails and teeth, after that he held the boy's right foot and peeled off the skin, then he even placed the burning torch at little Zi's back.
Bai Ming was truly ruthless in his ways, he didn't show even an ounce of pity. Instead, he had a sadistic smile plastered on his face the entire time.
But no matter what Bai Ming did Zi Feng was unwilling to acknowledge him, and he continuously threatened to kill himself.
"What strong will he has, it's like a complete transformation from before." Bai Ming secretly praised the boy.
"He thoroughly hates me now, he wants me to die a brutal death. But... he doesn't believe he can achieve it with his own power. In his view, he can only kill himself, so that it would be a loss for me. But he doesn't see himself killing me in the future, hmm, looks like I'll have to do it. But this method will either make his heart burn in vengeance or it will completely burn him." Bai Ming thought to himself, his eyes were eerie. He was going to do something very very evil.
"You're going to regret this" Bai Ming spoke before he knocked out little Zi.
After nearly 45 minutes had passed.
Zi Feng had just regained consciousness when he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
"Wake up" shortly, he heard a ruthless voice.
Towards this voice, Zi Feng had the deepest impression of it. It was precisely the owner of this voice, who made his life a living hell.
Zi Feng's eyes slowly gained clarity as he expressionlessly stared at Bai Ming. Zi Feng was in a pretty rough state, one of his ears was missing, most of his teeth and nails were removed, more than half of his fingers were broken, the skin under his right foot was completely pealed off, and the skin on his back was burnt. His entire being had changed completely, both physically and mentally.
But at this time Bai Ming did something strange.
"Weren't you hungry before, eat this." Bai Ming spoke with a gentle smile, he held a large bowl in his hand, as he offered little Zi some food.
Little Zi stared at him coldly "Fuck off"
"Hehe, little Zi why are you acting like this? I am worried about your body that's all, now quickly eat it before it gets cold." Bai Ming's smile was getting even wider.
"Didn't you hear me, FUCK OFF" little Zi spoke fearlessly.
"Sigh, little Zi don't be like that. Do you see those children, hehe if you don't eat it, I will break their bones." Bai Ming spoke unhurriedly as he pointed at the younger children in the cave.
Zi Feng's expression froze, he looked at these pitiful children. But none of them dared to look him in the eye.
"This, why are they avoiding my gaze. Did something happen when I was unconscious?" Little Zi looked at the Bai Ming subconsciously. "This devil must have done something, but no matter I can't make these kids suffer because of me, they are all much younger than me, as a man, I cannot let these children suffer because of me. But this devil hmph! He must have mixed some kinda shitty poison in it probably, but it doesn't matter I have already gone through hell, nothing can affect me anymore." Zi Feng concluded.
"Give it to me, I am also a little hungry." Little Zi spoke as he directly grabbed the bowl from Bai Ming's hand.
Bai Ming continued to watch silently.
"Tasty, very tasty" Zi Feng praised loudly, of course, he was mocking Bai Ming, showing that he doesn't care even if this food contained some poison. But In reality, he found the taste to be a little weird.
When Zi Feng was halfway done eating, Bai Ming crouched down and gently caressed the boy's head and spoke lovingly;
"DOES YOUR MOTHER TASTE GOOD?"
