Chapter 1399: Chapter 787: Even a Rabbit Will Bite When Anxious_2

This time, Crescent Face showed no reaction at all, simply sprinkling salt on Baldy’s wounds.

Baldy was in so much pain that he couldn’t make a sound.

The veins on his forehead were bulging too.

One could imagine how excruciating it was.

Witnessing this scene, Ling Yu felt somewhat cruel, but he didn’t utter a single word.

He just silently watched everything unfolding before him.

After all, he knew his words were completely useless.

So, he kept quiet while observing from the side.

At this moment, Crescent Face finally revealed a trace of a smile, looking very delighted.

"Baldy, why won’t you scream? The louder you scream, the more flustered I get. Isn’t that what you want, for Yuanqing to come take care of this?"

"Then scream loudly. How will he come if you don’t shout? I really don’t want others to yell for you."

"I hope you can yell yourself; it’s much more interesting when you do!"

Things were getting even more interesting.

What to do? She really wanted to keep torturing Baldy.

That feeling was just too good.

And since they were all lying on the ground, devoid of any strength, they couldn’t possibly go after her daughter.

The thought of her daughter being safe filled Crescent Face with joy; she immediately continued speaking.

"Baldy, didn’t you just speak a while ago? How come you can’t talk after just a short while?"

"Suddenly becoming mute, I’m a bit unaccustomed to that, so I hope you’ll just say whatever it is you want to say."

Crescent Face was doing this on purpose.

Baldy was in so much pain that he couldn’t even speak, struggling to breathe, but hearing those irritating words, he was infuriated.

He never expected Crescent Face to stoop so low; using a whip was one thing.

But to also sprinkle salt into his wounds, this seemingly weak and gentle woman could be so vicious.

Could it be that she was pushed too far and had snapped?

Do even rabbits bite when cornered?

Seeing Crescent Face about to continue, Baldy urgently shook his head, his face filled with fear.

His movement was clear.

He was begging Crescent Face not to sprinkle any more salt.

But the less Baldy wanted it, the more excited Crescent Face became.

Just as Crescent Face was about to sprinkle more salt on Baldy’s wounds, a heavy voice was heard.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Yuan had already walked over.

His steps were heavy, and his expression was complex.

What exactly was going on here?

Initially, wasn’t Crescent Face lying on the ground, showing signs of discomfort?

How come it had suddenly turned into the four of them lying there in agony?

Most importantly, Baldy had injuries.

What was Crescent Face holding?

What was she about to sprinkle on Baldy?

Numerous questions popped into Qin Yuan’s mind.

But he received no answers.

As Qin Yuan approached, he also saw what was in Crescent Face’s hand.

It was salt.

Crescent Face was actually about to sprinkle salt on Baldy?

This revelation shocked Qin Yuan.

His pupils dilating, he found it hard to digest the sight.

Besides shock, nothing else could express his feelings.

Qin Yuan’s expression became extremely grave, but he finally spoke up.

"Crescent Face, are you deceiving me?"

There was doubt in his tone.

But also some certainty.

He still wanted to hear the truth from Crescent Face herself.

He wanted to see if Crescent Face would lie at this crucial juncture.

Seeing his lifesaver, Baldy’s eyes instantly widened.

He wanted to immediately cling to Qin Yuan’s leg, hoping Qin Yuan would save him.

But truly, there was no strength left in his body, and the wounds on his arm throbbed with pain.

In the end, he abandoned the thought.

Crescent looked at Qin Yuan, her face revealing a shallow smile, then chose to come clean.

"Indeed, I just lied to you, I didn’t only deceive you, I also lied to everyone present, why did I do this?"

"That’s because Baldy poisoned me. I couldn’t swallow that insult and decided he must pay the price!"

"I want to not only rub salt into Baldy’s wounds but also keep applying it once they start to heal, never letting him recover."

This was all about torture.

But it wasn’t just this kind of torture.

There were many other methods.

Baldy could never imagine what she couldn’t.

At this moment, Baldy’s pupils were dilating with fear etched all over his face, which was quickly overtaken by rage.

He immediately turned to Qin Yuan, his eyes begging for help.

When Qin Yuan heard these words, his face was already showing Dawei’s shocked expression; he hadn’t expected to hear such words from Crescent’s mouth.

He had even less anticipated that all this was an act by Crescent.

At first, he did not suspect Crescent, and only had a fleeting doubt later on.

In the end, he dismissed the thought, not expecting to be deceived after all; he had truly misjudged her.

Anger began to creep onto Qin Yuan’s face as he stared at Crescent with an indignant gaze.

"I have been here helping you with all my heart, yet you deceived me here, does your conscience allow this?"

"And after I listened to you and went to see your daughter, it turned out you just sent me away."

"Have you forgotten that I and the others have already made peace and become brothers? By attacking them, you’re hitting me; you’re opposing me!"

Now, he was certain to rescue them from Crescent’s clutches.

He still needed these brothers.

As soon as Qin Yuan finished thinking, he inadvertently locked eyes with Ling Yu.

Ling Yu was full of accusation.

"Yuanqing, do you realize how ruthless Crescent is? She actually tricked us into crouching down to check on her."

"Then while we weren’t paying attention, she stuffed poison into our mouths; all of us have been poisoned."

"But Crescent told us there is no antidote—could it be that we are really going to leave our lives here?"

Finishing his words, Ling Yu’s eyes kept darting around, observing Qin Yuan’s reactions.

Qin Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly, he was very surprised.

He hadn’t misheard.

Crescent had actually given them poison.

Could it be Crescent was truly hiding her skills? Had she concealed her strength until now?

Qin Yuan thought to himself, then heard Ling Yu slowly say.

"Moreover, haven’t we already agreed? We were going to be your brothers, but we might not survive this."

"Then how can we be your brothers, how can we do things for you?"

Ling Yu didn’t directly ask Qin Yuan for rescue.

But his words were already a subtle hint.

Perhaps due to the weakness from the poison, his tone was somewhat faint.

Shan Ge wasn’t just standing there either, he also spoke up slowly.

"Yuanqing, actually before you came out, we had already negotiated with Crescent that if she gave us the antidote."

"We could pretend like nothing happened and wouldn’t even need to tell you about it, but Crescent utterly refused."

"And she even said no one could stop her decision—could we really be leaving our lives here?"

He also sighed deeply.

He seemed to be very dejected.

But this was also a performance for Qin Yuan to see.

Qin Yuan wasn’t a fool; he could obviously see through it, but these words truly shocked him.

He had completely reevaluated Crescent.

Just when Crescent wanted to continue rubbing salt, right as the salt was about to hit Baldy’s arm.

Qin Yuan reached out to block it.

But in the end, he couldn’t stop her.

After all, Crescent’s actions were too quick.

The pain that cut to the bone had already spread throughout Baldy’s body, even eliciting a cry of pain.

"Save me!"

Baldy’s plea was directed at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan thought Crescent was very formidable.

Her actions were decisive, and she didn’t even blink an eye.

She truly spared no mercy.

Although Baldy was quite detestable, Crescent’s actions were indeed hard to accept.
