Chapter 371: Chapter 329: A One-Sided Beating?
"Hey! Gentle, you leaving?" someone asked, feigning a joke, but his eyes were filled with chilling mockery.
Gentle’s body trembled instantly. She bit her lip, her face pale as she shook her head.
"Why aren’t you talking? She’s being kind enough to offer to take you out of here to a better life!"
Wen Ying didn’t interject. If the woman wanted to go, she wouldn’t mind taking her.
But if the woman herself wasn’t willing, Wen Ying wasn’t about to play the part of a Holy Mother.
Seeing Wen Ying still staring at her, the woman summoned her courage and looked back with a flicker of anger. "Who asked you to meddle? I’m fine here! Everyone treats me well. You want me to follow you out just to get myself killed?"
Wen Ying heard the woman’s words and glanced at the wounds visible on her body as she sat on the floor.
Wen Ying was about to speak again when she saw the woman grow even more furious. "You think you can just waltz in here and leave whenever you want? You really think you’re some kind of Bodhisattva? Brother Zhao took a liking to you—that’s your good fortune! But you dared to refuse him, and even attacked our people. You’re simply courting death!"
Wen Ying said no more and simply shook her head.
Brother Zhao’s expression was beyond grim. He shifted his stance, blocking Wen Ying’s path of retreat.
"Doctor Wen, are you choosing to do this the hard way? You think you’re worthy of having Smith himself come looking for you? It was already an honor for you that *I* came. Don’t think you can run wild in this world just because you have a few clues no one else does. You’re still too green! Today, let me give you a free lesson!"
Zhao Ge finished speaking and sneered.
Seeing Brother Zhao’s movement, the others all backed away, putting distance between themselves and the pair.
Then, Zhao Ge suddenly produced a whip. It was short and looked completely unremarkable.
And yet—
[Warning! Warning! Detected a whip with special abilities that does not belong to—BEEP, redacted.]
[If the host is struck by the whip, one million reputation value will be lost per hit. If reputation value is depleted, the host’s physical safety will be compromised.]
Hearing the system’s alert, Wen Ying’s expression grew intrigued as she looked at the whip.
’So this is the kind of special item that shows up in a horror world like this, huh?’
’The ring I saw before was just a storage-type item.’
’This whip is the first offensive item I’ve come across.’
’I’ll have to get a good feel for it, then.’
Seeing the look on Wen Ying’s face, Zhao Ge scoffed. ’What a hick!’
’She probably doesn’t even know how dangerous this thing is, does she?’
’She probably doesn’t even know items like this exist in this world.’
’Today, I’m going to teach this woman a proper lesson. I’ll make sure she learns her place and becomes completely submissive!’
Zhao Ge flicked the short whip in his hand toward Wen Ying. In an instant, its length multiplied several times over!
It lashed toward Wen Ying’s shoulder.
Wen Ying sidestepped to dodge, only to find the whip seemed to curve in mid-air, pursuing her.
’Interesting.’
’So it’s an item with a tracking effect.’
’Not bad at all.’
The whip gave chase, and Wen Ying continued to dodge, but its speed kept increasing.
In the eyes of the onlookers, Wen Ying went from dodging with ease to becoming slightly out of breath.
’Her stamina is clearly giving out. She’s going to get hit any second now!’
’This woman still doesn’t know that this whip is more than just a whip, does she?’
’Once it hits her, the real show will begin!’
Zhao Ge wore a playful, relaxed expression as he watched Wen Ying grow increasingly disheveled.
A few times, she was almost struck by his whip.
"Alright, playtime’s over. Since you refuse to surrender, don’t blame me for what happens next."
The moment he finished speaking, the whip in Zhao Ge’s hand lashed out violently. A thin, pink, fluorescent layer seemed to coat it, and its sudden appearance made all the men present grow excited.
Meanwhile, the woman in the corner couldn’t stop trembling.
’I can’t warn her. I have to survive!’
’It’s her own fault for not knowing her place!’
As the pink fluorescence appeared on the whip, a strange scent shot into Wen Ying’s nostrils, and a sudden heat flared through her body.
’This is... an aphrodisiac?’
’Something this disgusting is actually an effect on an item in this world?’
Wen Ying stood up straight and forcibly expelled the air she had just inhaled.
But in the brief moment it took her to do so, the whip was already lashing toward her chest.
Wen Ying reached out and caught the whip in her bare hand.
This move left the onlookers utterly dumbfounded.
No one had ever dared to grab Brother Zhao’s whip before!
