Chapter 91: Because… You Are Not Worthy!
Jiang Qingni had no idea what was happening.
Her mind was a ss, unable to process any thoughts.
She could only feel the clash and fullness pressing against her throat…
At this mont, she could only obey whatever Ling Xue demanded of her.
Even the smallest movent of her tongue was entirely under Ling Xue’s control.
Within the pink spiderweb-like cave, Ling Xue ruthlessly humiliated this self-righteous woman.
He crushed her pride, her arrogance until there was nothing left of it.
A lowly ant?
This was the first ti anyone had dared call Ling Xue a lowly ant.
Right now, Ling Xue was making her realize what it truly ant to overestimate oneself and underestimate others!
He was making her understand who was the insignificant ant being toyed with.
Previously, she had even ordered Ling Xue to kneel before her…
But now, it was she who knelt before Ling Xue, doing everything in her power to please him!
No one knew how much ti passed before Ling Xue finally looked satisfied.
Yet Jiang Qingni was still kneeling in the sa spot, her expression utterly dazed.
She seed completely numb, her spirit utterly broken.
Never in her life had she imagined that soone would treat her in such a way—
In a way that was unacceptable to her!
And yet, despite humiliating her in this manner, Ling Xue… hadn’t touched her body.
He had only used her mouth!
What does this even an?
“You’re curious why I didn’t touch you, aren’t you?” Ling Xue’s voice rang out as he looked down at her.
Jiang Qingni lifted her gaze to et his, unable to utter a single word.
Of course, she had that curiosity, but there was no way she’d admit it.
Admitting it would an she desired Ling Xue to do such things to her.
“Because… you are not worthy,” Ling Xue said indifferently, throwing her earlier words back at her.
Hearing his words, and seeing the smug smile on his lips, the humiliation and rage within Jiang Qingni churned violently.
Not worthy?
Soone dared to claim I am not worthy?
I am constantly pursued by countless elite suitors, any one of whom would be ecstatic just to receive a glance from —
And now, Ling Xue, who had the opportunity to do more, had refrained, only to dismiss with those words?
What is this?
Are you saying that in your eyes, my only worth is as a mouthpiece?
This is naked, blatant humiliation!
Jiang Qingni’s self-esteem, her dignity, her pride—all were trampled beneath Ling Xue’s feet.
Ground into the dirt.
She glared at him with a hatred so intense it seed she wanted to tear him to shreds with her gaze alone.
But there was nothing she could do.
She couldn’t move her body, couldn’t even control her thoughts.
Ling Xue’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
He hadn’t suppressed her consciousness—
He wanted her to remain fully aware and endure every mont of humiliation.
He wanted to see her struggle helplessly, stuck in the mire.
This was the price she had to pay for her arrogance and insults.
It was what she deserved.
“What… have you done to ?” Jiang Qingni’s voice sounded hoarse and strained.
She was still resisting, still struggling fiercely, desperately trying to regain control of her body.
Her red-rimd eyes brimd with tears, which began to flow uncontrollably down her face.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake the mysterious power binding her.
She couldn’t move.
She couldn’t act against Ling Xue.
Now, she was like a wild beast trapped in a cage, raging impotently within herself.
Tears traced down her cheeks, mingling with the faint cuts Ling Xue had made earlier with sharp fragnts.
She knelt there, tears streaming down her face—a picture of utter defeat and misery.
Gone was the aura of an unshakable ice queen.
“What did I do to you? Aren’t you perfectly fine?”
Ling Xue’s laugh was light. “When you leave here, no one will know what happened. No one will be able to tell anything is amiss when you return.”
Hearing these words, Jiang Qingni’s heart trembled violently.
Return?
How could I return in such a state? If people found out what Ling Xue had done to …
I might as well die on the spot!
“You’ll leave here intact, and no one will see any signs of what happened. That way, you can help accomplish so things I want done,” Ling Xue said, his crimson eyes gleaming coldly as he smirked at her.
Hearing this, unease surged in Jiang Qingni’s heart. “What… what else do you want to do?”
At this mont, she finally realized Ling Xue was not soone to be trifled with.
She finally understood how careless and arrogant she had been.
If she had known it would co to this, she never would have co here with the intent to kill Ling Xue and never would have acted so haughtily from the start.
“Let guess!” Ling Xue chuckled lightly. “You must be from a place… that doesn’t belong to this world.
“Sothing like the Immortal Realm, the Upper Realm, or the Heavenly Realm—a place where people think themselves superior to everyone else?”
After all, such clichés were the hallmark of fantasy worlds, and it wasn’t hard to deduce.
Jiang Qingni remained silent, simply staring at Ling Xue.
She was indeed from another place, though not an Immortal Realm or Heavenly Realm.
It was a unique world, an isolated dinsion.
“In that place of yours, people are generally stronger than those in this world, aren’t they? Probably because of richer spiritual energy?” Ling Xue continued to speculate. “And from that, you’ve bred a bunch of arrogant fools like yourself, who see the people of this world as ants. Am I right?”
Jiang Qingni still didn’t respond, but his guesses were almost entirely accurate.
“To have a moron like Ye Feng as a younger brother, it’s no surprise his older sister is just as idiotic,” Ling Xue said with a mocking smile.
Jiang Qingni gritted her teeth tightly.
The humiliation Ling Xue had inflicted on her today—she swore to return it a hundredfold in the future.
“You seem upset that I called you an idiot?” Ling Xue leaned in slightly, his tone mocking.
With a thought, the sharp crimson fragnts appeared again, hovering closer to Jiang Qingni’s face.
“Tell , you ca here alone, arrogant and blind to reality. Tell , aren’t you an idiot?”
Jiang Qingni remained silent.
Because Ling Xue wasn’t wrong.
If she’d been more cautious, if she’d taken Ling Xue more seriously, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.
“I told you, I’m very good at making reluctant people talk.”
The sharp red fragnts inched closer to her face.
“Answer : Are you an idiot?”
Jiang Qingni clenched her teeth tightly.
Does he need to hear say it out loud?
Is humiliating like this the only thing that satisfies him?
“Not admitting it? Fine.”
Ling Xue sneered coldly. “In that case, I’ll carve the word ‘idiot’ onto your face. That way, you’ll have no choice but to acknowledge it.”
These words made Jiang Qingni’s expression change dramatically.
She did not doubt that soone like Ling Xue would carry out such a threat.
She hurriedly cried out, “I am!”
Heaven knew how humiliated and enraged she felt inside at that mont.
She was being forced to admit she was an idiot.
The humiliation was unprecedented.
“Good. Now, tell —who’s the ant?” Ling Xue pressed further.
Jiang Qingni gritted her teeth before yielding, “I… I am.”
At this mont, she had no choice but to obey everything Ling Xue said.
She was terrified he would carve words onto her face.
Ling Xue could kill her, and she wouldn’t care.
But to mar her face would be a fate worse than death.
Watching her state of complete subjugation, Ling Xue finally withdrew the sharp fragnts.
For won like this, Ling Xue didn’t mind using any thod, no matter how low.
Ling Xue spoke indifferently, “Now… tell everything you know—your identity, your origins, and about your mother. I want to know it all!”
