Chapter 272 The Real Shi Mei
Leng Zhuxin looked at Shi Mei who was completely immersed in the illusion, and called out Fu Yi Jing with satisfaction.
A few ripples appeared on the calm surface of the Fuyi Mirror, and soon the image appeared.
It was an extremely dark dungeon. Shi Mei inside had been whipped beyond recognition. Standing in front of her was Shi Zhongkui.
There were two very old demon slaves standing next to Shi Zhongkui. Under Shi Zhongkui's order, they stripped Shi Mei of all her clothes.
The iron chains locked Shi Mei's hands, feet and neck, forcing her to kneel naked on the ground.
The bloody whip was in Shi Zhongkui's hand.
Shi Zhongkui walked up to Shi Mei with a whip in his hand, lifted up Shi Mei's chin with the whip, and forced the dazed Shi Mei who had been whipped to look at him.
"Mei'er, your mother is dead, and I am the only one who can protect you.
Does the wound hurt?
As long as you take your medicine obediently and stay at home, you won't have to suffer like this again in the future.
Women, sooner or later, will submit to men.
What does it matter if there is one more or one less?
When your charm body is fully developed, those people will submit to you.
You have made contributions to our Shi family. Think about your brother, he will also inherit the position of head of the family in the future. Don’t you want to help your brother?
Your brother has the best relationship with you, but today he asked me where his sister was.
Dad feels sad to see you like this, but our Shi family is declining. If it weren't for the support of the Holy Lord, we would have fallen long ago.
By then, no matter whether it is you or other people in the Shi family, you will lose your life and end up in a dirty place.
It is your luck and also the blessing of our Shi family that Pavilion Master Qin has taken a liking to you.
It's your bad luck that you have such a face and such a figure.
Are you the only one in our Shi family who can do it?"
Shi Zhongkui persuaded her earnestly, bending down and walking around Shi Mei.
Seeing that Shi Mei didn't say anything and was still looking at him with the same extremely stubborn and hateful eyes as before, he snorted heavily and cracked the whip a few more times.
After leaving a few more whip marks on Shi Mei's body, he threw the whip away and took out a bottle of medicine.
He ordered the two demon slaves beside him, "Apply medicine to her and don't let her have scars."
Then he looked at Shi Mei again, his eyes devoid of emotion: "I advise you to agree as soon as possible, so you can suffer less.
If you agree now, you can still keep your identity as the eldest daughter of the Shi family and live a life of luxury.
The patience of the elders and I is limited. Those who cannot create benefits for the Shi family have no reason to live.
I'll give you three more days to think it over. If you still don't agree after three days, the beggars and stray dogs outside will teach you a lesson for me!"
Shi Zhongkui left the dungeon after saying these words.
Shi Mei struggled continuously, but could only shake the chains in vain, her eyes full of despair.
Shi Mei, knowing what Shi Zhongkui meant by those words, wanted to commit suicide, but she was forced to drink a bowl of medicine that left her without even the strength to bite her tongue to commit suicide.
The demon slave carefully applied medicine on her body.
Although it was a medicine that would prevent her wounds from leaving scars, it was mixed with something that made her feel the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects every moment.
Under such torture, Shi Mei soon fell into a coma, and when she woke up, she agreed to Shi Zhongkui.
She began to behave well and became silent.
After taking medicine for more than ten days, she woke up with a high fever and forgot all her memories in the dungeon and her childhood.
She became Shi Zhongkui's obedient daughter, and her weapon changed from a knife to a whip.
The whip she used was the one given to her by Shi Zhongkui, the same one that had been used to whip her in the dungeon.
Shi Mei eventually grew up to be what Shi Zhongkui and the entire Shi family hoped for, during the forty years she was trapped in the Shi family.
Shi Mei had only seen Pavilion Master Qin's face once; all other times she saw him, he was covered tightly in a black robe.
After seeing her heartbeat very fast just once, Shi Mei felt that she was moved.
As for what Pavilion Master Qin and Shi Zhongkui said in the study every time, Shi Mei could not eavesdrop at all.
Although Shi Zhongkui was stupid, he was very cautious. He set up two soundproofing formations in the study and also set up a barrier to prevent spiritual detection.
Every time Pavilion Master Qin came, he would close all the doors and windows of the study and wait in the study early.
Even Shi Mei, whom he later trusted, could not get in and could not hear any sound.
It was Shi Zhongkui who ordered Shi Suo to cause trouble at the Mo family's family recognition banquet in front of her, but he only said that he felt sorry for her and didn't want her to marry the fifth prince.
Shi Suo was injured, and the last person to go on stage was Shi Fei.
Shi Mei was very envious of Leng Zhuxin at that time, and envied Leng Zhuxin's freedom and publicity.
After returning to the Shi family, she also wanted to fight for herself, so after the Demon King had issued an order, she brought Shi Zhongkui to the Mo family to beg.
Shi Mei, who had lost her childhood memories, heard from Shi Fei that Grandmother Mo once loved her very much.
But she didn't know which of her old self Grandma Mo liked.
The Shi Mei who died in the Shi family dungeon.
……
Leng Zhuxin was an illusion that pulled Shi Mei into the room when she was emotionally disturbed.
It is an illusion cast by the Fuyi Mirror that can arouse the demons in people's hearts.
Leng Zhuxin originally wanted to find some clues related to the Holy Lord through illusions, but unexpectedly, she helped Shi Mei recover her forgotten memories by accident.
He also witnessed the pain that Shi Mei had experienced.
Leng Zhuxin looked at Shi Mei, who was still immersed in the illusion, with a complicated expression, and felt mixed emotions in her heart.
After knowing everything Shi Mei had been through, and looking at the pained Shi Mei in front of him, Leng Zhuxin really couldn't bring himself to beat Shi Mei to death.
If the person standing in front of her was an unforgivable criminal who voluntarily sacrificed himself to become a demon for the Shi family and the Holy Lord, or if he was a cruel and ruthless person who took no care of human life, Leng Zhuxin would not have any sympathy or hesitation.
But Shi Mei is not like that. Trapped in the Shi family for her entire life, Shi Mei has never ordered anyone to be harmed. She was just forced to bear everything.
Leng Zhuxin really couldn't bring herself to do it, she even felt a little sympathetic towards Shi Mei's situation.
Leng Zhuxin didn't think there was anything wrong with her sympathizing with Shi Mei. If she really didn't even sympathize with the weak, and only killed innocent people for her own benefit and did things according to her own will, then what was the difference between her and Shi Zhongkui and others?
Isn’t the reason why we are human because we can sympathize with the weak and empathize with the plight of others?
There is nothing wrong with this, nor is it saintly behavior; it is just human nature, the good side of human nature.
It is also one of the ways to distinguish between humans and animals.
Leng Zhuxin is a human being, not a cold-blooded beast. She will sympathize with Shi Mei, and any weak person who is being persecuted and is in or has been in dire straits and suffering.
Kill those who should be killed and have the necessary kindness in your heart. This is Leng Zhuxin's own principle of doing things.
