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

Chapter 721: Well-Trained Animals

It stands to reason that no one could enter his study or break the matrix without his knowing.

But what if someone did get in?

Nalan Zhengze frowned. He was cautious by nature and always pursued the principle of killing rather than letting go.

As a result, he found an excuse to leave the banquet and hurried into his study.

He met the guards outside his study and listened to their reports. Nalan Zhengze was slightly relieved to learn that there was nothing unusual.

When he entered the study, he noted that the matrix was still intact. He felt a little silly for being so paranoid.

But since he was there, Nalan Zhengze decided to check it out so he could feel rest assured.

There was a dark red light glowing in the cave, which was from a fire-like crystal used for lighting.

The red light illuminated every corner of the little cave and finally spilled on the boy bound by chains in the corner of the cave.

Nalan Zhengze's mouth curved into a satisfied smile.

Sure enough, he was worried over nothing. Why would anyone think that there was such a huge secret hidden underneath his study? But also, how would he not be alerted if someone came here?

When the teenager saw him, his body shrank violently before he curled his whole body in the corner, and trembled.

But as he recalled the figure he just saw, the teenager temporarily forgot his fear and struggled vigorously, desperately pulling on the chain trying to break free.

The chain tightened around his flesh, causing his hands, feet, and neck to tear and ooze blood.

Nalan Zhengze had a disgusted expression and condescendingly looked at the noisy teenager, "What's with the noise? Have you not suffered enough yet?"

With that, a whip appeared in his hands, and he struck the boy.

The whip hit the young man, leaving fresh bloody marks on his already bruised body.

The teenager screamed a few times from pain until his entire body curled up, and he trembled with a low whine.

Nalan Zhengze withdrew the whip with satisfaction and took out a bowl before placing it on the ground.

The items on the bowl were unknown, but it was a light greenish ball that exuded a sour smell.

Nalan Zhengze said with a sneer, "Eat, eat! Eat enough to supply me with enough blood. Haha, my ninth-ranked detoxifying spiritual pill still depends on you to provide me with the main ingredient!"

He Xi and Nangong Yu, who were hiding in a dark corner on the ceiling of the cave, showed a shocked expression.

The teenager in the corner curled into a ball and continued to whine as if he did not hear Nalan Zhengze's voice at all.

Nalan Zhengze frowned, raised the whip, and hit the ground before shouting sharply, "Little beast, why did you not eat yet?"

The sound of the whip hitting the ground caused the boy to shake violently.

In the next moment, the boy threw himself instinctively onto the ground and stuck his tongue out to consume the foul food in the bowl.

The teenager braced his body with his hands and knelt. His rickety figure buried his entire face into the bowl.

The food smeared onto his face while he ate but he seemed to be unaware, completely focused on consuming the food quickly.

After a moment, the bowl was licked clean.

The teenager's behavior was more like a trained animal than a human being.
