The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife (711-)

Chapter 720: Who Is It?

While he ran, a dingling sound was heard.

Only then did He Xi discover thin chains around his neck and limbs, grinding into his flesh.

He Xi was shocked at the new and old scars varying in different thickness spread throughout his body.

He Xi clenched her fists violently, her nails deeply embedded in her palms.

She didn't know what emotion was flowing in her heart.

He Xi always had an indifferent attitude towards the Nalan Family and Nalan Zhengze. Except for Nalan Feixue and Nalan Ziyun, the culprits who hurt Nalan He Xi, she didn't have much desire for revenge towards others.

But now, seeing this young boy who was tortured by Nalan Zhengze, a strong killing intent rose from her heart.

Who was this teenager?

He Xi crept slowly towards the boy lying on the ground, trying to quiet her breathing.

The young pair of purple eyes glanced at her momentarily. His eyes showed confusion, fear, and longing, but his trembling body continued to retreat.

Just as He Xi was almost near the teenager, Nangong Yu suddenly frowned.

He quickly appeared next to He Xi, wrapped her in his arms, and restricting her body movements.

He Xi internally signed as he retrieved all the lighting crystals and put them into his sleeve before concealing their body in a corner of the cave.

After the light dispersed and He Xi's figure disappeared, the teenager lying on the ground became active.

The chain around his neck shuddered violently, creating a ping-pong sound.

There was also a low, dull-like wailing similar to a dying beast.

He Xi finally understood why the sound she heard from above was so muffled. It was because an iron cover covered the teenager's head.

She listened to the desperate and sad roar from the teenager as if he was calling out to someone.

He Xi's body trembled for a while as she fought the urge to reveal herself to the teenager.

Nangong Yu tightened his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "Xi'er, don't worry, I'm here!"

The man's deep voice rang in her ears, and his cold breath brushed against the tip of her nose as if he was telling her he would accompany her no matter what she did.

Her intense heartbeat gradually slowed down, and He Xi reached out to hug Nangong Yu. She took a deep breath and recollected herself.

Almost at the same time, light footsteps were heard in the secret passage.

Immediately afterward, the light in the small cave lit up and revealed Nalan Zhengze's suspicious face.

Nalan Zhengze couldn't explain why, but he felt uneasy at the banquet tonight.

Nalan Yurong's plan was executed perfectly. She even watched from the sidelines to make sure it was foolproof.

Nalan He Xi married into the Zhu Family instead of Nalan Feixue, but what if even after Zhu Zhongba ruined her, His Highness King of Hell still wanted to marry her? Would he still want a woman who was ruined to become a Princess?

As a result, Nalan He Xi wouldn't be able to escape, and sooner or later, An Lingyue's relics would belong to him.

After combing through the plan again, it stands to reason that there should be no mistakes.

However, at today's dinner, the entire time, he felt like he was sitting on a needle as if something terrible was happening.

Nalan Zhengze soon thought of his study and the terrifying secret hidden underground.
