A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 267 A Big Argument

The man's voice was like a devil's whisper, "Give me command of the army, what's the price?"

Shen Qingli's face was filled with panic. This guy didn't want military power at all. He just wanted to force her to make a choice and make Yun Han wish he were dead... Even if she really took over the empire in the future, she would only become a puppet in his hands!
She is a princess of the empire, how could she willingly become a puppet of the rebels!
Seeing her reluctance, Zaxis's face darkened. He grabbed her chin with his large hand, forcefully pried it open, and then took out something and fed it into her mouth.

"Cough...cough cough! What did you feed me!" Shen Qingli's face was as pale as paper. She lay on the edge of the bed, trying to vomit, but she couldn't get anything out.

Zaxis sat cross-legged on the bed, tilting his head to admire her disheveled and terrified appearance, and said with a smile, "A poison that can turn a person's internal organs into water. The poison will take effect in a month, and once it takes effect, death is certain."

"You—no! No! I don't believe you're really going to kill me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Give me the antidote!" Shen Qingli was terrified, tears streaming down her face as she threw herself into his arms, begging for the antidote.

Zaxis looked at her, but remained unmoved.

He narrowed his brooding eyes, a wicked smile playing on his lips, his grin growing increasingly dangerous. "Qingli, I don't like disobedient people, and I especially hate females who are full of lies. This is your punishment for being fickle."

An urgent system notification suddenly rang in his mind: [Host, quickly agree to his request! This man is ruthless; he can be cruel even to those he deeply loves. Under the negative buff of the card, if you don't grant his wish today, he might really kill you!]

Shen Qingli was so frightened that she lost her composure and, without thinking, hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I promise you!"

Zaxis finally showed satisfaction. He lifted her chin and gently kissed her. "My dear, see you in a month. Don't disappoint me."

Shen Qingli's face was still streaked with tears as she gritted her teeth, "Then you must remember your promise to me!"

"I guarantee that the next time you see her, it will be at a funeral."

……

The night was deep and dark, with dark clouds obscuring the moon. The mountains and forests, ravaged by war, were eerily silent, devoid of even the chirping of insects and the calls of birds, like a desolate, uninhabited wasteland.

Yun Han walked aimlessly along the remote mountain path, his body hunched and thin. He staggered over the gravel and withered branches, making a soft cracking sound as he left behind bloody footprints. From a distance, he looked like a walking corpse.

His once proud eyes were now lifeless, like stagnant water that could no longer stir any waves.

Yun Han didn't know what she was doing.

His mind was a mess at that moment, and he couldn't understand many things. He just instinctively wanted to escape, to run away to a deserted place to calm down.

He walked aimlessly forward, his broken body losing its support, becoming increasingly heavy and powerless, and his blood-red vision becoming increasingly blurred.

Bang!
He accidentally stepped on something, suddenly lost his balance, and fell to his knees.

The man lowered his head, his messy, blood-stained silver hair clinging to his forehead, obscuring the pain in his eyes, his heart filled with bitterness.

He probably has no face to go back now, so he might as well die here.

There was a rustling sound of footsteps coming from the bushes behind me, followed by an anxious call.

"Brother Yunhan, is that you?!"

Yun Han's body stiffened abruptly. He curled up his five fingers, leaned on a tree to support himself as he stood up, and turned to look at Shen Qingli, who was stumbling out. His eyes were as still as a deep pool, without the slightest fluctuation.

Shen Qingli was startled to see such a tall, hunched, blood-soaked figure in the middle of the night. After carefully examining his face, she recognized him as Yun Han. Tears welled in her red eyes as she walked forward, sobbing, "Brother Yun Han, I finally caught up with you! I... I knew you were coming. Zackis was asleep, that's why I dared to sneak out..."

Yun Han gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, her voice hoarse, "Why did you come back to find me?"

Shen Qingli had never seen such a deathly cold expression on his face before. Her heart tightened, and she quickly concealed her panic, rushing forward to grab his hand anxiously. "Brother Yunhan, it's not what you think. Let me explain..."

Yun Han slapped her hand away, his scarlet eyes filled with broken pain. A metallic taste rose in his throat again, which he swallowed back, and he roared hoarsely, "You don't need to explain. I saw it all, I saw it clearly."

He smiled wryly, "You're doing very well with him, so it was all my fault."

“I defied military orders and abandoned my family to find you, even at the cost of my life, and what were you doing? You were having sex with Zackis in bed, and you even degraded yourself to do those things to please him!”

"Heh, I... I'm such a complete idiot!"

His chest heaved violently as he roared, “How many innocent people have the rebels killed? Yet you have been having an affair with one of their generals, going to any lengths to please him, like a lowly bed slave who has been trained.”

"Do you know how much it hurt when I saw you in bed with him?" Yun Han clenched his large hand tightly against his chest, his beast-like claws digging into his flesh, yet he seemed oblivious to the pain.

His eyes were bloodshot, like a wild beast's, and he spoke each word slowly and deliberately, each sound filled with anguish.

You disgust me!

"...Disgusting! You, how dare you say that to me?" Shen Qingli stood there stunned. She had never imagined hearing such words from a man. She broke down and shouted, "Just because I slept with him and ruined the pure and innocent image you have of me, you call me disgusting!"

Tears streamed down her face, her eyes red and swollen, making her look pitiful and heartbreaking. "But do you know that if I hadn't done that, I would have died long ago, and you wouldn't be seeing me today!"

“The rebels are ruthless and vicious. The only thing I can use to deceive him is this body… I was captured and taken to the enemy camp. I was all alone and had no choice but to rely on Zackis. If I didn’t do this, he would have killed me on the very first day!”

Yun Han stood frozen in place, his disheveled and handsome face flashing with pain and struggle, his throat dry, unable to utter a single word.

Shen Qingli stepped forward and hugged his waist.

Just as she was about to say something more, the man let out a painful groan, then his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Shen Qingli was knocked to the ground by him.

She stroked downwards with her palm and touched large patches of blurred flesh and blood, and could even clearly feel the ribs.

Shen Qingli looked down and her face suddenly turned pale, looking terrified.

She then noticed that the man was already covered in wounds, and under the cover of his tattered clothes, in many places there was no flesh left, only bones.

She held her breath, terrified and heartbroken, and cried even harder, "You got so badly injured saving me..."

Yun Han closed his eyes weakly and remained silent.

He brought this upon himself and has no one to blame but himself.
