Demon King's Repayment - chapter 76
Zhou Deyun led Yuan Xiang to a side room. The doors and windows of the room were closed tightly. The windows were cross-nailed with thick wooden slats and were sealed. A few circles of iron chains were tied outside the gate and locked with a large lock. A few maids stood outside the door, carrying porridge and side dishes, taking turns to comfort the woman by the crack of the door.
“Madam, have a little bit of food. I made your favorite mixed three fresh and glutinous tofu. Would you like to have a bite?”
“Madam, you haven’t eaten since a few days, so how can your body be well?”
“You are angry with the Master, but you should take care of your health. How can you go on like this?”
There was a very low and weak guttural voice in the room, which was full of anger, obviously disagreeing.
Zhou Deyun stepped forward and asked in a low voice, “Still refusing to eat?”
The maids looked at each other and showed embarrassed expressions, “It has been three days since she hasn’t eaten anything. As long as someone enters, she loses her temper.”
Zhou Deyun sighed and said to Yuan Xiang, “Although this person is in my lady’s body, it has great martial arts. It’s really amazing. Seven or eight people can’t beat him alone. It accidentally broke free of the chains and ran out. I was afraid that he would hurt the lady’s body, so I had to lock it. Who knew that it was stubborn and went on a hunger strike. It had not eaten for three days. No matter whether it was persuasion or strong threatening, it doesn’t help. If this causes harm to my lady’s body, how can it be good? That’s why I was so anxious. But I didn’t want to face it, so I asked you to come and have a look.”
He took out a key to open the big lock at the door and squeaked open the door.
The sun outside the house at the moment was shining brightly. The room separated by the door was dim and messy to the extreme.
Yuan Xiang adjusted to the light and looked in from the door. The dim room was full of overturned tables and chairs, messy clothing and broken utensils. There was a big bed with flowers on the wall in the house. On the ground in front of the bed, there was a woman sitting on the floor. The woman had her head down. Her face was haggard, her eye sockets were sunken, her lips were so dry with her mouth blocked by a towel. Long hair scattered in front of her. Her hands were tied behind her back and her body was locked with a thick chain.
“She wanted to die, I had to lock her,” Zhou Deyun explained to Yuan Xiang in a low voice.
Yuan Xiang took two steps forward and the woman raised her head and stared at her vigilantly.
“Hey, it’s strange. It’s obviously a woman’s body, but inside it is a man’s soul,” Wu Yuan stood on Yuan Xiang’s shoulder, speaking in a voice that only she could hear.
“Can you see what he looks like?”
“I can see him, wearing armor and white robe, with an arrow hit behind him. He is covered in blood.”Â
The person was really just like he said, a general who died in battle on the battlefield. His soul still retained his previous memory before his death. This matter was not difficult to deal with at first, or she could let him live as Lady Zhou. The difficulty was that Zhou Deyun still wanted to retrieve his wife’s soul.
“Lady, can my wife be saved?” Zhou Deyun tried to figure out Yuan Xiang’s facial expression while rubbing his hands nervously.
Yuan Xiang motioned to him to stay calm and not be restless, squatted down in front of the Lady Zhou who was tied up and stretched out her hand to pull the cloth strip out.
“Let’s have a chat, can you tell me your name?”
Lady Zhou showed a look of disgust, turned her face and closed her eyes by the head of the bed. He went on a hunger strike for three days and was extremely weak. He didn’t want to take care of the wicked person who was torturing him so much by these methods.
Yuan Xiang looked at her gray complexion and weak breath and knew that the first task was to let this person eat something. If he starved this body to death, there would be really nothing to do.
Yuan Xiang thought for a while and then persuaded, “You were a general in the frontier area of ​​Su Wei. So you must have many old ties, close friends and relatives. Why don’t you give me your name? I can look for them for you, or we will be at a deadlock.”
The person leaning against the bed rail opened his eyes. His dark long hair covered most of his face and it was somewhat indistinguishable from male and female.
“I am a dignified seven-foot man, transformed into a woman’s body. Such a form is so shameful. What face do I have to see the old man again?” He sneered sadly, “Now I just want to die, it is better than being in such a situation.”
“Even if you don’t tell me, I can know who you are.” Yuan Xiang looked at him with an arm supported, “Purple gold and red tasseled crown, dragon scales and proud frost armor, silk robe. Such a robe must not be of an unknown person. In the past few years, our country has been stable and there have been wars only in the north. I just need to find out if there was an accident with a general dressed like this a year ago. Your identity must not be difficult to find.”
