Chapter 149: Return to the Capital City (Please Recommend and Bookmark)

At sunrise, Ye Xuan mercilessly wielded the willow whip, continuously lashing the young boy. Each strike tore flesh and skin, leaving bloody marks all over the boy's body.

And yet, the cruelty was far from over. Ye Xuan forced the young boy to laboriously carry a 500-jin stone, running through the forests. Should the boy slow down, the merciless willow whip would strike without pity.

By midday, with the stone in his hands, the boy endured the assault of a thousand-zhang waterfall, a torture so painful it almost drove him mad.

In the afternoon, Ye Xuan threw the boy into a valley teeming with poisonous insects and fierce beasts, forcing him to fight for his life and endure unimaginable torment.

But the cruel torture did not end, and when the boy was barely alive and night fell,

Ye Xuan took him out of the valley for another round of vicious whipping, which left the boy howling and crying, pleading for mercy from Ye Xuan, yet receiving none.
