Shen Nanxing closed her eyes, her wet eyelashes trembling slightly, waiting for that moment to come.

puff--

thump—

"elder brother--"

The imagined pain did not come. Instead, he heard the sound of vomiting blood and someone falling to the ground. Shen Nanxing's heart skipped a beat and he quickly opened his eyes.

She saw Hu Lin lying on the ground in front of her with a pool of bright red blood in front of him. Hu Shuang'er cried out "Brother" in a shrill voice and threw herself on Hu Lin.

All this happens in an instant.

In just a moment, Shen Nanxing understood what had happened.

Hu Lin blocked the palm for her!

His face turned pale in an instant, with blood at the corners of his mouth, and his head was held in Hu Shuang'er's arms.

Shen Nanxing's eyes were bloodshot, and he used all his strength to pull the chains apart, making them rattle loudly.

"Hu Lin! Hu Lin, what are you doing?"

"Why did you do this? The person he wanted to kill was me..."

Hu Lin was such a gentle and refined young man, but now he was lying on the ground with his clothes stained with blood, all because of her!

Shen Nanxing's tears quickly gathered and flowed out of her eye sockets in large drops. Her eyes were red and she was sobbing uncontrollably.

Hu Lin looked at her and smiled: "Nan...Nanxing..."

"Are you...are you okay?"

Every time he spoke a word, he would gasp violently. After finally finishing a sentence, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother, don't die!"

"Wuwu, brother, I will listen to you in everything from now on, okay? Please don't leave Shuang'er alone, wuwu..."

Hu Lin raised his hand with great effort and gently wiped away the tears on Hu Shuang'er's cheek, still smiling: "Shuang, Shuang'er... don't cry..."

"In the future... listen to... your parents..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Brother, please stop talking, please stop talking..."

"Shuang'er is obedient. From now on, I will listen to whatever my parents say..."

Hu Shuang'er's tears fell one by one, landing on Hu Lin's pale face, mixed with a little blood stain, spreading out.

Shen Nanxing suddenly looked at the ghost-faced man and shouted, "Save him!"

"What are you still standing there for? Save him!"

"He is the only son of the Minister of Works. If anything happens to him, His Majesty will never let you go, no matter who is in heaven or on earth!"

As she roared, the chains binding her limbs rattled non-stop.

For the first time ever, the ghost-faced man did not refute.

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it at Hu Lin and his sister.

Hu Shuang'er raised her hand and held the small porcelain bottle in her hand.

He didn't care about much at this moment and immediately poured out the pills from the small porcelain bottle and stuffed them into Hu Lin's mouth.

She breathed a sigh of relief only after she saw that Hu Lin had indeed stopped vomiting blood and his breathing had gradually stabilized.

The ghost-faced man glanced at Hu Lin and said, "Don't worry, you won't die."

He just realized that after this kid rushed over to block Shen Nanxing, he held back his strength. In addition, he had taken this excellent internal injury medicine, so he would naturally be fine.

The ghost-faced man turned to leave. Hu Lin struggled to stand up and asked weakly, "Senior, what do you want me to do in order to let General Shen and my sister go?"

The man with the ghost face paused, turned around, and scanned the three people one by one with his eyes, as if he was interested.

He looked at Hu Lin, looking a bit embarrassed. "Young Master, you want me to release two people just by asking me now. Isn't that too greedy?"

Hu Lin: "What do you want?"

"As long as you are willing to release General Shen and my sister, I can agree to anything you want."

The man with the ghost face put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth twice in the dark dungeon. Suddenly, excitement flashed in his eyes.

He laughed for a while, then walked over to Hu Lin and squatted down. "I accidentally injured the young master just now, and I feel guilty about it. So I'll allow you to let one person go. How about that?"

Hu Lin's pupils shrank, and he looked at the ghost-faced man warily: "What do you want to do?"

The ghost-faced man stood up suddenly: "Come here, hang her up!"

Two men in black immediately came out, one on each side, and dragged Hu Shuang'er away.

"Shuang'er!"

"elder brother......"

Hu Lin wanted to grab his sister, but he had no strength at all and was easily thrown away by the man in black.

Soon, Hu Shuang'er was hung above the snake pool like Shen Nanxing.

Shen Nanxing was so anxious that he yanked the chains loudly: "I said, they are innocent!"

"Come at me if you want to kill me, but let them go!"

The ghost-faced man pretended not to hear anything. He just looked at Hu Lin and said with a chuckle, "These two women, one is your sister, and the other is your beloved..."

Hu Lin's eyes flashed: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Ha!" The ghost-faced man sneered. "You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not."

"Anyway, you can only save one of these two women."

"As for the other one, leave it to feed my little cuties!"

"Look, my little cuties are starving..."

In the dim light, densely packed snakes were swimming in the pond, hissing and spitting out their tongues. Dozens of snakes at the top seemed to have discovered the delicious food hanging above the pond and stood up one by one.

The snake's head was barely a foot away from the two women's feet.

Hu Lin's heart tightened, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled: "Put them down."

"Please, put them down and let me go!"

The ghost-faced man shook his head and turned to order: "Come here, light the incense!"

As the incense was lit, white smoke rose and the ghost-faced man smiled with satisfaction.

He looked down at Hu Lin and said, "You only have one stick of incense left."

"Think carefully, who do you choose to save?"

"Of course, if the time comes and you haven't made your choice..."

The ghost-faced man laughed: "Then my little cuties can have a good meal..."
