Seeing the hostages didn't say any words, Mao XinYue frowned and whipped them up. "Tell me who did that?!"
Everyone kept their mouth shut and didn't say any words. It made Mao XinYue and her master impatient.
SLAP!
When the sound of whip could be heard, all of them shivered. It includes Wen Yang, who just stayed silent in the corner of the room. He was also tied like all of them, but it was with a normal technique, not the shibari one.
SLAP!
They got another whip on their back, but they didn't say anything. "Oh! You guys are really good at keeping a secret, huh?!"
SLAP!
Mao XinYue slapped them again with a different whip. This whip had small needles on it, so it will take a few chunks of the prisoner's skin. "Who the hell made you guys daring enough to sell me on a brothel?!"
"ARGH!" They groaned in pain, but it was still bearable.
"Wait.. what did you just say? They want to sell you on a brothel?!" The eye of Mao XinYue's master turned bloodshot. "Tell us quickly! Or else..."
The hostages only scoffed at them. "Or else what?! If it was only a whip... It's a child play! We are already used to whipping torture anyways..."
The master just looked at them while she rolled their eyes. "A child play, huh?! XinYue, Slap their testicles with the whip! And you have to make sure that the needles all sharpened up! It was to ensure their most vital area will get broken up by the whip when you retracted the whip!"
XinYue nodded her head and proceeds to get closer to these men with a grinning face. She looked at their testicles like they were a prey that was eyed by some predators. When they saw her face... It made them shivers and they also felt their testicles pained a little, but it actually was only a placebo effect.
The hostages froze in place when they heard that. "D- Damn it! Aren't the two of you too vicious?! W- Wait! If you do that... We won't have any future! W- Wait... We- We'll talk! Noo... We'll talk! Yeah.. we'll talk right away!"
...
"Hmm... So there is a guy called Dai.. Who is it again?! Dai Yun?"
"Umn.. Immortal fairy... He was called Dai Yin, not Dai Yun."
"Oh! No one really cares about his name..."
All of them nodded immediately when they heard that. "We know... No one should care about his name!"
Mao XinYue and her master's mouth twitched when they heard them trying to bootlick to survive. So, she coughed. "Ahem! So this Dai guy embarrassed because my disciple defeated all of his men and he ran away by himself? After that he got you guys to avenge him inside the restaurant?!"
Mao XinYue nods her head. "Not only that! I heard about their strategy of kidnapping that boy's sister to make him told them about the location of the restaurant that we ate!"
Mao XinYue's master stared at the boy and asked. "Is that true?!"
Wen Yang nodded his head with embarrassment. It wasn't very nice of him to betray the only person who helped him a few times. He really felt awful while he does that! He always wanted to ask for forgiveness to Mao XinYue, but he didn't dare to do it.
Seeing Wen Yang nodded his head, she became angrier than before. "Very despicable! He even dared to blackmail a child!!"
These men didn't dare to mutter any sound, fearing that this powerful woman getting mad and killed them completely.
Then she looked at them with a glare. They felt very scared when they were stared with those terrifying eyes... It felt like she stared at their own soul, nothing could be hidden from her and it felt like they wore nothing in the front of these peoples.
"Then? What else did you know?!" she said coldly.
They all shook their head. Because they were trapped at the spiritual artifact, they didn't really know anything that happened to Mao XinYue.
Then she looked at Mao XinYue and nodded her head. "Do it!"
"N- no! We didn't really know anything! How could we know if you caught us on that artifact?!" One of them quickly said.
Hearing their answer, Mao XinYue's master raised her hand to stop XinYue to torture these guys. "Then.. do you know about the colorful elixirs that he threw at himself and my disciple?!"
"T- that..." The men looked at each other in a confussed manner.
"Don't know?" She coldly asked them.
They immediately shook their head. "We didn't know anything about those weird colored elixirs! In fact, it was the first time we heard from you guys!"
Mao XinYue's master rolled her eyes and told XinYue to kill them up.
Seeing her ruthless attitude, one of the men suddenly said. "I... I never saw anything like that... But I have seen a shop that sells unique elixirs! There's this weird shop nearby! It sells a lot of heaven-defying elixirs!"
"Elixir shop?!"
He immediately nodded. "It's called house of potions. If you asked people on the street, they will know about it!"
"Fine! XinYue... Let them go!"
"B- But..."
"It's fine! I could kill these trash within seconds, so no need for useless bloodshed!"
Mao XinYue reluctantly released them form the knots. She thought that her master is really kind to not kill the hostages, but it was her master's order... She couldn't disobey her, especially in the front of her eyes.
The released hostages immediately left the house hurriedly. They didn't want anything to do with these two nuts, but Wen Yang didn't go like those cowards. He stayed behind and said "Big sister Mao.. I'm really sorry for what I've done!"
"Oho! There's actually a brave one in here... Those peoples are a bunch of cowards! They lost to a boy?! What a joke!" Mao XinYue's master smiled. "You! If you were really sorry about earlier, you should take us to that house of potions!"
When Wen Yang heard that voice, he shivered. "O- okay!"
"Let's go to that shop and ask if it was their elixirs or not! We'll see if it was poison or not... If it's a poison, the shop will probably have an antidote!"
Mao XinYue nodded her head and followed her master and Wen Yang to House of Potions.
