Chapter 163: The Darkness Plaguing The Heart

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Ping Yang was not bestowed the title of Yan Capital’s demoness by being merciful and gentle. Therefore, she specially ordered people to bring in a live ‘Scarlet Thread Cyclops Viper’ that lived around volcanoes.

Except for its poor vision, this creature was a killer in every other aspect. Furthermore, it possessed a very convenient characteristic. It loved hot water. Once bitten by its needle-like fangs, there was little hope of getting it off…

However, its venom was not fatal.

After all, Ping Yang still had many other tricks that she wanted to try out.

How could she let him go just like that?

But…

Ping Yang would not find something just for looks and no practical applications. Although the venom of this Scarlet Thread Cyclops Viper is non-lethal, it had an interesting effect on the body. It would instantly increase the sensitivity of the pain receptors.

In other words, a single bite would have you screaming for your mummy and daddy.

This was what caught Ping Yang’s attention.

For the sake of ensuring that Fang Zhengzhi would jump out of the bath screaming, Ping Yang had invested a huge amount of effort. No fewer than ten people were involved in bringing this to fruition.

It was just a pity for the guinea pigs. Every one of them went out of Ping Yang Residence with tears in their eyes.

”You despicable lowlife. I will definitely have you walking in and carried out!” Just the thought of what was going to happen was enough to bring a smile to her face.

Now…

The middle age man that she ordered to be the lookout at the door had gone out.

That meant that Fang Zhengzhi had arrived and he was about to enter the grand gates of the Ping Yang Residence.

Ping Yang was getting excited. She bent down and stroked the silk-like snow white coat of her noble steed.

The king among horses, a jade in the snow.

Ping Yang’s love for it was to the extreme. Previously, her Snow White was sold off by Fang Zhengzhi. This too had to be avenged. Furthermore, it would be avenged by both her and Snow White.

While riding on Snow White, she would aim to pour the pail of feet washing water over Fang Zhengzhi’s skull.

This was a consideration on the account of speed and the deep ”friendship” between the master and the servant.

…

Fang Zhengzhi did not have any idea that he was about to walk into a trap made especially for him. Under the purposeful guidance of the middle age man, he arrived before the bright cinnabar gates to the hall.

”Mister Fang, please!” The middle age man walked to the side of the gates with a face of utmost courtesy.

Such courtesy was common with some high-class residences. The servants that fetched guests would always let the guests step into the gates first.

Although Fang Zhengzhi did not feel a need to follow such traditions.

This did not arouse his suspicions.

Therefore, he tried to humbly give way too.

When the middle age man saw this, his face changed. He immediately welcomed him in again.

Fang Zhengzhi could not beat his stubbornness. He nodded and took his first steps through the gates.

…

The eyes of Ping Yang who was riding on Snow White’s back burned with brilliance. She saw the blue long sleeve that she wanted to rip to shreds even in her dreams.

That’s right.

That was indeed Fang Zhengzhi!

The man behind all those nights spent grinding her teeth.

”Go, my Snow White!” Ping Yang gave an order and forcefully kicked both her feet back. The hand holding the pail of dirty water could wait no longer.

Snow White moved. It recognised the order given by its master. Moreover, it had been repeatedly practising this for quite some time.

Its four hooves began to move into a gallop.

Fang Zhengzhi did not notice anything amiss at the moment. After entering the Ping Yang Residence, looking around in admiration was all he could do.

After that, he heard the faint sound of clopping hooves.

Was it possible to ride horses in the residence?

Fang Zhengzhi looked towards that direction in bemusement. Then, he saw Snow White.

Naturally, Snow White also saw Fang Zhengzhi.

The two pairs of eyes met.

Mild curiosity blossomed in Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes. He felt like he had seen this horse somewhere before. It almost looked like the horse that he sold off not too long ago.

On the other hand, Snow White’s eyes betrayed fear. Pure, unadulterated fear.

As the king of horses, Snow White was meticulously cared for and treated with the utmost respect from the moment it was born. All it ever ate was the freshest of grass and lived in a separate court just for it.

No human had ever abused it or shouted at it.

The human in front of him was different.
