Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Interrogation

"Mmph!"

Inside the restaurant, Fang Can wrapped an arm around Ye Qingshi’s slender waist, lifted the young woman’s pale chin with his fingers, and kissed her swiftly and decisively.

At that moment, the entire restaurant fell silent.

Watching the two kiss, the crowd’s expressions were all placid. Because they were all eunuchs, they had no strong emotional reaction to such matters.

But there was one exception!!!

Yuan Dang, whose four limbs had been broken, lay like a dog with a shattered spine. His eyes looked ready to split from their sockets as he stared at the unacceptable scene.

’Gah! I don’t want to see this!!!’

Yuan Dang wished he could just gouge his own eyes out, but with all his limbs broken, he couldn’t do a thing.

SLAP! A hand struck Yuan Dang across the face, knocking his head to the side.

Ye Yonglie retracted his hand and said calmly, "What are you looking at? The god is converting his believer. Is that something a traitor like you is worthy of seeing?"

’Converting his believer my ass. I’m a tutor; this is just a training session.’

Yuan Dang’s eyes widened as he watched the two lean against each other.

In just a few short seconds, Ye Qingshi’s attitude changed completely. Her slender, pale fingers actively clutched at Fang Can’s lapels.

’Wait! How did she get so into it?!’

Before Yuan Dang’s wide eyes, Ye Qingshi had actually become the proactive one.

THUD. Another dull thud snapped him back to reality.

"Still looking, you piece of trash? Do you even understand what you’re seeing?"

Ye Yonglie spoke coldly, then grabbed Yuan Dang by the hair and dragged him out of the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Fang Can was having trouble keeping his composure. ’Why is she using her tongue?’

Gently pushing Ye Qingshi away, Fang Can wiped his mouth with a hint of disgust.

He was something of a clean freak and found this level of intimacy a bit unacceptable.

’I was... rejected?’

Having come to her senses, Ye Qingshi was in disbelief. A flush of shame and indignation reddened her cheeks. She had actually been rejected?

Feeling wronged, the young woman subconsciously lowered her gaze to Fang Can’s lips, which were moist as if coated in syrup.

The moisture on his lips was from when she had used her tongue, and now it looked rather alluring.

Somehow, just a moment ago, the simple act of being held by Fang Can had made her body subconsciously go soft and lose all its strength.

It was followed by a feeling like being embraced by the sun, making her consciousness gradually blur as she wanted to throw herself into it.

If she had to describe the kiss, the young woman might have compared it to a sun-kiss.

’Number one human cauldron...’ Suddenly, the contents of the Celestial Secret List flashed through Ye Qingshi’s mind.

She subconsciously licked her own reddened lips, savoring the memory.

’What is this woman up to?’ Fang Can wondered, looking at the dazed Ye Qingshi, unsure what she was thinking.

Still, that Disciple from earlier really did have feelings for Ye Qingshi. ’Can a eunuch have such a strong libido?’

Recalling how the man had been making accusations earlier, Fang Can felt the guy was a complete clown.

And it was only now that Fang Can understood that all the aptitude he had gained from getting close to Ye Qingshi recently was thanks to Yuan Dang’s contributions.

"Go back to your room and wait for me. I’ll be back tonight," Fang Can said casually to the young woman as he slowly stood up from the table.

Leaving the restaurant, Fang Can headed straight for the basement where Yuan Dang was imprisoned, ready to quickly uncover the man’s secrets.

Passing through the entrance to the basement, he found it incredibly dim, lit only by a single candle flame dancing in the draft.

In the very center, Yuan Dang was hanging in mid-air, his naked body suspended by hooks piercing his limbs, like a roasted duck.

He had now completely resigned himself to his fate and began to stare at Fang Can with a murderous gaze.

"Let’s hear it. Why are you hostile toward me, and what’s this secret you’re hiding?" Fang Can said, crossing his arms.

"I’m the one who should be asking. What kind of trick did you pull to control those coins out of thin air?"

Yuan Dang was truly baffled. "Could it be that you knew all along I was the one who leaked the information and had a Heaven-Ascending Road level Martial Artist hidden somewhere, manipulating things?"

Surprised that he would ask such a question, Fang Can chuckled. "There’s no ’why’. Fate is on my side, fortune favors me. It’s that simple. Even if we did it all over again, the result would be the same."

"That’s impossible," Yuan Dang said, his eyes wide with disbelief at Fang Can’s explanation.

"I have no obligation to answer your questions." Fang Can’s expression turned indifferent. "But if you want to live, you’d better tell me everything you know as soon as possible."

"Ha, then you might as well just kill me," Yuan Dang sneered. Having accepted his situation, he no longer held any hope of getting out alive.

"It’s not that easy. Sometimes, death is a release. And you should know that until I get the answers I want, I won’t let you die so easily."

"You... What are you planning to do?"

Yuan Dang’s eyes widened, and as he looked at Fang Can, his heart began to tremble.

If it weren’t for the two Heart Image masters standing behind him, making it clear that suicide was just a foolish fantasy, he probably would have chosen to end his own life.

"Do I need to spell it out for you?" Fang Can asked, the corners of his mouth turning up.

"Unleash your imagination. Picture the most horrific punishment you can think of. I’ll only do something far more cruel."

At that moment, Yuan Dang’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.

True fear lies in the unknown, and he knew that if even the interrogation methods he could imagine were used on him, he wouldn’t be able to last at all.

"Not going to talk?" Fang Can smiled when he saw Yuan Dang still hesitating. "Men, find some people and bring them over. Let’s give him a demonstration."

Yes, this wouldn’t be painful for Yuan Dang himself.

After all, compared to more severe physical torture, this was nothing. They hadn’t even brought out the durian yet.

Almost immediately, Yuan Dang screamed in terror, "No... no, no, no... I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"

"Too late. I’ll be back in four hours. Remember to clean up the basement beforehand. I don’t want to smell anything strange," Fang Can ordered the few Martial Artists.

"Yes, my Lord God."

The two Heart Image Martial Artists grinned hideously. "We will be sure to carry out your command faithfully."

For a traitor, especially one who had betrayed their god, these Heart Image Martial Artists would naturally show not a shred of pity.

After wandering outside the martial arts hall for four hours and defeating a few Heart Image Martial Artists who came to challenge him, Fang Can returned to the basement.

The layout was still exactly the same as before.

Clearly, the men had carried out Fang Can’s orders perfectly and had cleaned the place thoroughly.

Looking at Yuan Dang’s face, his eyes were listless, and he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

"Still going to be stubborn?" Fang Can asked. "If you keep holding out, the number of men you’ll have to face next will be enough to form a line."

"Heh..." Suspended by the chains, Yuan Dang had reached a dead end. A trace of mockery flashed in his eyes. "Fang Can, you really are just like you were in our last life. Still just as evil."

"Last life?" Fang Can’s eyes narrowed slightly. ’Looks like things are getting interesting.’
