After Lei Fan left, Jun Wu Xie was sitting alone within her cell. Within the dimly lit jail, the little black cat silently leapt back in from outside without anyone noticing. As Lei Fan had stepped out from here, the tiny little black cat had leapt outside at the same time.
“Meow~”
[Mistress, you’re in for it this time. That evil hearted Fourth Prince from earlier had just instructed the jailors here to take good care of your entertainment in here. I think by tomorrow, you will be experiencing the tortures they have here in this prison nice and proper.]
Jun Wu Xie’s eyebrow raised up, but was not worried in the least.
“He just wants to force me to submit. Want to harm me? He first has to see if he has what it takes.” The corners of Jun Wu Xie’s mouth curled up chillingly. Even having been thrown in prison, she was not a piece of meat that was subject to anyone’s manipulation.
“Meow?”
[I’m just asking Mistress, but when are you going to make your move?]
“No rush, favours shown to you must be reciprocated. Since they are taking such good care of me, I must make sure to return them the favour first.” Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly. She reached out her hand to carry the little black cat into her arms, her fingers running over the luxurious fur on the cat.
“Meow?”
[Return his favour?]
Jun Wu Xie replied in a soft voice: “Aren’t people from the Thousand Beast City going to arrive?”
“Meow.”
[That’s right.]
“The Thousand Beast City might not be as powerful as the biggest Yan Country’s might, but if they really do hold hatred for the Yan Country, even the Yan Country might not be able to easily withstand the torment that Thousand Beast City will be able to inflict on them.” Jun Wu Xie’s eyes were lowered, a countless number of thoughts flying through her mind that lay hidden beneath her eyes.
It was still early, and she could still afford some time to slowly play with the Fourth Prince and the Emperor.
She only hoped that they would be able to hold out a little longer, or it would be a waste of her efforts for making arrangements to put up a good show for them.

Chapter 858 : “Unwarranted Torture (1)”
It was night on the second day that Qiao Chu slipped into the jail and met with Jun Wu Xie on there.
“You have sure having a jolly leisurely good time in here. Outside things are so chaotic that it is almost on the verge of exploding and here you are so carefree not having anything to do.” Seeing Jun Wu Xie calmly sitting with her jail cell stroking the little black cat’s fur made Qiao Chu can’t help himself but smile helplessly.
Jun Wu Xie looked up slightly and glanced at Qiao Chu: “How is it outside?”
“After you went to see Qu Ling Yue with Lei Chen that day, Qu Ling Yue’s condition improved by leaps and bounds yesterday. But early this morning, her injuries suddenly took a turn for the worse and she fell into a coma still vomiting out blood, driving the entire bunch of physicians there into a frenzy. That Imperial Physician Li had in a fluster and exasperation claimed that a certain Young Miss named Jun’s previous actions had just been underhanded methods that deceived people and even Lei Chen was not spared a significant amount of admonishment as well. That Jiang Ying Long had been struck dumb in helplessness and when the Crown Prince went to pay a visit once more, he was blocked at the door by people from the War Banner Academy. It seems like your actions yesterday had not only failed to make the people from the War Banner Academy relax their guard but had instead made them feel even more strongly against Lei Chen.” Qiao Chu might have said all this in a nonchalant tone, but Fei Yan who had gone there in person to gather information had seen every single detail of that situation clearly.
Lei Chen had been blocked outside the doors and Imperial Physician Li had cursed and sworn from inside Qu Ling Yue’s room. However much shock and surprise Jun Wu Xie had brought to everyone yesterday, was fully returned today by being reviled, cursed and spat upon.
“Just as expected.” Jun Wu Xie lips raised at the edges, to reveal a cold smile.
Qiao Chu stated quizzically at Jun Wu Xie’s reaction. “You knew all along this would happen?”
Jun Wu Xie answered slowly: “I wasn’t certain at first, but I am sure now.”
“And you are still so carefree about it? Do you even have any confidence towards Qu Ling Yue’s injuries? This is the first time that I am seeing a patient who had passed through your hands, suffer a relapse.” Qiao Chu asked, scratching at his head.
Towards Jun Wu Xie’s skills in Medicine, he had full and complete trust. But Qu Ling Yue’s relapse of her injuries, was also a fact that Fei Yan saw with his own eyes.
“There is always a first for everything in life, it’s nothing really.” Jun Wu Xie wasn’t showing much of a reaction to it.
Qiao Chu continued with his report: “It is said the tomorrow evening will be the time that the people from the Thousand Beast City will be arriving in the Yan Country’s Imperial Capital. By that time, if they are to see Qu Ling Yue still lying in bed barely alive, they might just decide to come charging all the way into here and seek trouble with you. Aren’t you going to make any preparations at all?”
Jun Wu Xie shook her head.
“They will not have the time to find trouble with me for the time being.”
Qiao Chu was stunned, completely unable to know what Jun Wu Xie was thinking.
“Anyway, knowing you will have no lack of ideas in your head, I just want to tell you not to allow yourself to suffer and that’s all that matters. If the matter cannot be resolved for now, then just get right out of here and tell us what you want us to do thereafter and you just don’t show yourself.”
“I have plans made.” Jun Wu Xie said softly.
As the two people were still chatting, from within the silence in the prison, footsteps were suddenly heard. Qiao Chu flew up with a leap and jumped up onto the overhead beams, hiding himself within the shadows.
Two prison jailers appeared before Jun Wu Xie’s jail cell. They were holding a set of locks and chain in their hands as they unlocked the cell door and walked in.
“His Majesty has decreed, to change a set of locks and chain for Young Master Jun. We would like to ask for Young Master Jun to cooperate.” The jailer opened his mouth to ask with a smile, highly courteous to Jun Xie.
Jun Wu Xie’s powers as a green spirit, was not something these low ranked jailers were able to coerce, hence, on the few days that Jun Wu Xie had been in prison, the jailers had still been somewhat polite and had not dared to make things difficult. Her meals given to her adhered to the usual rules and everything had seemed normal so far.
Volume 9
Chapter 859 : “Unwarranted Torture (2)”
Jun Wu Xie’s gaze fell onto the set of locks and chain. Compared to the current set on her hands and feet, the new one further restricted one’s movements harshly. The handcuffs and leg shackles were reinforced with metal plates and once secured, a person would not be able to move. Cold laughter glinted within Jun Wu Xie’s eyes and she glanced surreptitiously over the area that Qiao Chu was hidden out of the corner of her eyes but did not say anything before sticking her hands out, to show that she was willing to cooperate.
The two jailers secretly exchanged a glance between themselves, their faces still showing wide smiles as they removed the old set of shackles on Jun Xie and saying: “Has Young Master Jun been comfortable enough these past days? The jail cell is crude and sorely lacking and it must have been hard on Young Master Jun. But rest assured Young Master Jun, we will definitely not be doing anything harsh to Young Master Jun as Young Master Jun is afterall a friend of His Highness the Crown Prince, and we would not dare to slack off in neglect.”
“That’s right. Young Master Jun would just have to bear with it for a few more days and once the matter has died down after awhile, Young Master Jun will then be able to get out of here.”
The two jailers were echoing one another, seemingly trying very hard to reassure Jun Xie. They went on to put on the new set of chain shackles onto Jun Xie quietly, careful and meticulous with every single action, while both of the jailers would from time to time discreetly cast a glance at Jun Xie. When they saw they Jun Xie did not seem to suspect anything, they still silently heaved sighs of relief.
Two crisp sounding clicks cut through the air as the lock for the metal plate that held both of Jun Wu Xie’s hands snapped in place. The chains around her feet also tied her feet tightly together. For Jun Wu Xie to even half an inch now, it had now become a highly difficult task.
Hidden within the darkness, Qiao Chu observed the actions of the two jailers with a frown on his face. Although he wasn’t too familiar with the locks and shackles used in jails, but just by seeing the new set of locks and chain on Jun Wu Xie was enough for him to realise that something did not seem right.
All four of Jun Wu Xie’s limbs were tightly restrained and not to mention walking with them, even sitting down upon the ground would be a challenge. However one looked at it, those shackles did not look like they would be used on common prisoners.
After the two jailers snapped the locks into place, they tugged hard at the metal plate and chains to check. After making sure they were solidly secured, they suddenly took a step back away. The smilies on both their faces faded off and were replaced by a sort of glee that took delight in the misfortune of others.
“Jun Xie, having stayed so long in this jail, I’m sure you have become familiar with this place. Are you aware that anybody who is thrown behind bars here will all be treated to receive a little of our “tender loving care”?” One of the jailers said, narrowing his eyes, pulling out a two finger thick whip hanging from his hip.
“Young Master Jun must have been getting rather comfortable with your stay here these past few days. But good days are bound to come to an end and bad things happen. Although we have no intentions of making life difficult for Young Master Jun ourselves, but the rules in this jail cannot be changed as we wish. Young Master Jun, look at this whip for instance. For all prisoners that comes in here, none have ever escaped being treated with a serving from it. This whip is extraordinarily tough and hooks are embedded into it. With a single lash, not just the clothes will be damaged, but even the flesh would be ripped out with a light snap of the wrist. With Young Master Jun’s smooth and fair flesh, I wonder how many lashes can you withstand?” The jailer said, his face suddenly changed as he stared at Jun Xie viciously, the black whip gripped in his hand intentionally being swung before Jun Wu Xie’s eyes, the protruding hooks embedded in the whip clear to see, looking more terrifying than normal in the dim flickering candlelight.
“The night is still young and Young Master Jun need not be hasty. Tonight, the two of us here will let you properly familiarize yourself with the torture equipment we have in this jail, and we guarantee Young Master Jun will find it to be an unforgettable experience!”
Volume 9
Chapter 860 : “Unwarranted Torture (3)”
“We really wouldn’t know whether Young Master Jun’s thin and frail looking body will be able to withstand the seventy two sets of torture equipment we hold within this prison. It must be known though, anyone who had previously undergone the entire circle of torture equipment here had all been reduced to become helplessly disabled and completely wasted even if they survived. It’s such a shame that Young Master Jun even holds such high cultivated spirit powers.” The jailer holding the whip said, lifting the whip and snapping it with a loud crack, sending the whip’s whistling end to tear through the air and land just beside Jun Wu Xie, striking heavily upon the ground, leaving a white slash mark on the filthy floor of the jail cell.
Jun Wu Xie stared coldly at the two jailers standing there with their malicious expressions.
Qiao Chu who had remained hidden in the darkness observed it all. These two jailers were obviously going to inflict torture on Jun Wu Xie!
Qiao Chu almost could not hold himself back for another moment and was about to make an appearance to beat those two scumbags into scrambling all over the floor to find their teeth when he suddenly caught sight of Jun Wu Xie looking in the direction of where he was hiding and discreetly shook her head.
Qiao Chu’s heart jolted as he tried his hardest to resist the rage threatening to explode within him, as he continued to remain within the shadows.
The two jailers circled around Jun Wu Xie, seemingly trying to decide which spot would be the best place to inflict the first lash. Jun Xie’s impossibly stoic calm began to unnerve them as all others who had been thrown into this jail had screamed, cried and begged but just this one youth had been different. From the first day that he had been locked up, he had not once opened his mouth to say a single word. Towards being imprisoned, he had not once shown the slightest sign of rage or anxiety.
On that youthful face with its delicate features, they had only seen the same cold and distant expression, the gloomy and depressing prison seemingly non existent in the eyes of the youth.
“Young Master Jun, would you say whether it’s better that I lay the first lash onto your hip or onto your back first? Rest assured, the lowly me knows where to draw the line. I will definitely not harm your face in the slightest. I guarantee that after you have had a change of clothes, no one will be able to tell that you have been tortured.” The jailer said with an evil laugh.
Jun Wu Xie stood in his spot, not moving in the slightest, her cold and clear eyes glancing only a brief moment over the two jailers.
“The moment you make a move on me, you will regret it.” Jun Wu Xie chill voice suddenly rang out clearly.
The two jailers paused a moment, and broke out into a bout of raucous laughter.
“Young Master Jun, what kind of a joke are you telling us? That’s just hilarious! Regret it! ? Don’t blame me for not having reminded you. Do you know why we had put on that new set of shackles on you? To tell you the truth, the set of shackles you have on currently had previously been used to restrain a blue spirit user. Even though you have attained the green spirit, to break out from the restraint under this set of shackles, you will find it beyond you no matter how hard you try.” The jailer said with a sneer. To execute torture on a green spirit user, how could they not have prepared for it?
The fact that they had dared to be so arrogant, was because they believed Jun Wu Xie would not be able to retaliate against them in the slightest.
Jun Wu Xie lifted her chin slightly and did not look at the two jailers anymore.
The jailer holding the whip suddenly lifted his hand and in the next moment, the wicked tip of the whip was sent whistling through the air towards Jun Wu Xie’s back!
Qiao Chu who was hiding within the shadows felt his heart leap into his throat as his fists clenched hard as he fought against the urge strike.
However, in the split second just before he wanted to rush out, a huge massive shadow suddenly appeared within the jail cell. It was a massive sized ferocious beast, and at the same moment that it appeared, its jaws clamped down upon the whip that was speeding towards Jun Wu Xie’s body!
The black beast’s sudden appearance made the two jailers in the cell immediately freeze and the jailer holding the whip had not even had time to react when the massive beast which had its jaws on the whip had suddenly flung him up to smash hard into the solid stone wall!
Volume 9
Chapter 861 : “Unwarranted Torture (4)”
The jailer was smashed violently against the wall and he could only give out one single groan before he felt his head swim in a groggy daze as he fell hard onto the floor and went immediately into a dead faint.
“Roar!” The massive black beast stood between Jun Wu Xie and the next jailer, biting through the whip with a mighty snap of his jaws.
When the other jailer saw the size of the black beast, the strength in his legs immediately drained out of him and he fell with a thud to sit upon
the ground in horror.
“I have already told you. You will regret it.” Accompanying two clicks that sounded, the metal plate and shackles on Jun Wu Xie’s hands and legs clattered to the ground. She turned slowly to look over to the man sitting upon the prison floor in a corner, the other jailer whose face was at that moment deathly pale.
“Ar…..” That jailer was just about to open his mouth and scream when Jun Wu Xie opened his mouth to say: “You dare make one more sound out of that mouth and I’ll ask the kitty to rip out your throat.”
The black beast flashed its sharp fangs and under the dim candlelight, the glint reflecting off those fangs sent chills down his spine.
The jailer was so terrified he almost peed in his pants. He could not do anything but remained hiding in the corner to tremble in terror, staring at Jun Xie through eyes filled with shock. The two jailers had been so highly arrogant because they were so certain that Jun Xie would not be able to break out of those strong shackles. A green spirit who was unable to move an inch would not be able to pose a threat to them, and they had nothing to worry about. But they had forgotten one important point. And that was besides Jun Xie’s overwhelming spirit power, his ring spirit had never once appeared before anyone of them become!
The powerful and massive black beast had descended upon them like the God of Death, immediately terrifying the two vicious and scheming jailers into paralyzing shock and horror.
The new set of chain and shackles that the jailers had solely relied upon turned out to be simple child’s play in the hands of Jun Xie. He had seemed to have used only a short period of time before he freed himself from all those constraints.
Staring at the ferocious black beast, and then turning to stare at the completely freed Jun Xie, the jailer who was still conscious could not longer move, his entire body shaking like a terrified puppy, showing no sign of the earlier arrogance from before.
