Chapter 297 Rediscovering the Time Machine

Chu Miao's expression changed drastically when she saw the talisman paper broken in two!

She darted forward, picked up the talisman, gripped it tightly, and her face turned ashen.

The talisman is ruined...

Then they won't be able to return to the Great Chu Kingdom...

Chu Yue panicked too, his hands still trembling as he held the talisman: "Sister Miao, the talisman is ruined... just this one talisman, ruined..."

Si Yelin and Xiao Lang's expressions also changed.

They knew all too well what this talisman meant to Chu Miao.

Without this talisman, Chu Miao and the others would not be able to return to the base.

Her eyes gradually turned red, and blood vessels crept up the corners of her eyes. Chu Miao was in a state of extreme rage. She suddenly looked at Yuan Aruo on the ground, and in her anger, she stomped on Yuan Aruo's chest. The sound of breaking ribs rang out, and she roared, "Damn it!"

"Cough cough..."

Yuan Aruo coughed up a mouthful of blood, but seeing Chu Miao's furious expression, she laughed instead.

She could tell that the talisman must be very important to Chu Miao, which was why she was so angry.

She didn't come away completely empty-handed; at least she destroyed something Chu Miao treasured, so it was worth it.

"Ha ha……"

Yuan Aruo burst out laughing!

The hoarse, grating laughter provoked Chu Miao's eyes to turn even redder, and an intense killing intent erupted from her entire body!

Chu Miao had never wanted to kill anyone so much!

She wants to kill her!

Kill her!

A powerful airflow swirled around Chu Miao, billowing her clothes. She formed a claw with one hand, gathering her inner strength in her palm. The blade that was on the ground was drawn to her palm. She grasped it loosely, then reversed the blade and forcefully stabbed it into Yuan Aruo's right eye!

"what!"

Yuan Aruo covered her eyes and let out a shrill scream!

That's not enough!

not enough!

The blade was pulled out of her bloodied eyes and paused in mid-air, as if an invisible force was pulling it down. Chu Miao's eyes were bloodshot, and the folded corners of her eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent!

This time, she aimed at her throat!

The blade pierced straight into Yuan Aruo's throat—

"Miaomiao! Stop!"

Just as the blade was about to pierce Yuan Aruo's throat, half a finger's distance away.

A large hand gripped the blade tightly!

Chu Miao's move was murderous; the blade was extremely sharp and could sever a person's fingers!

Chu Miao's eyes narrowed, and she quickly withdrew her strength, but the blade still cut Si Yelin's hand.

Two centimeters in, and blood started flowing out.

Chu Miao's volatile aura calmed down slightly. She was panting as she looked at Si Yelin's bloodied hand, her eyes flashing with confusion and bewilderment, along with lingering anger, displeasure, and grievance.

"why?"

She looked at Si Yelin, not understanding why he would take the knife for Yuan Aruo.

What, is it that you can't bear to let her touch his childhood sweetheart?

Of course, this was just Chu Miao's displeased thought; he knew that Si Yelin hadn't rescued Aruo because of that.

But she still didn't understand why Si Yelin had saved her.

Yuan Aruo covered her bleeding right eye and could only see with her left eye. She never expected that Si Yelin would rush out to block the attack for her.

A glimmer of hope arose in her heart.

in fact.

Si Yelin still likes her a lot, right?

Otherwise, why would he have taken the knife for her?

He must like her!

"She's still useful," Si Yelin explained. "Don't let someone like her dirty your hands."

"The most important thing now is to find a way to resolve the issue of the talisman paper. Returning to the Great Chu Kingdom is the most important thing. Calm down first."

……

Twenty minutes later.

Chu Miao sat in the chair, looking at the talisman paper that had been torn in two, her heart still pounding violently.

"Is this talisman the only way to answer the Chu Kingdom? Is there any other method?"

Xiao Lang paced back and forth anxiously.

Chu Yue's face turned ashen: "The Grand Preceptor only gave me two talismans, one to bring me here and one to take me back. Now the talismans are destroyed, and I can never go back..."

No! There's another way!

The male and female voices sounded almost simultaneously!

Chu Miao looked at Si Yelin, who strode in. These words were spoken by the two of them together.

They exchanged a glance; clearly, they were thinking the same thing.

"There's also a time machine that can take you back to the Great Chu Kingdom."

"A time machine?" Chu Yue was taken aback.

Does such a thing even exist in this world?

"The time machine was invented by my parents, and it was because of this time machine that my parents were brutally murdered. However, we have found the key to the time machine. As long as we find the time machine and use the key to open it, it can transport you to your dynasty."

“They are extremely secretive and adept at hiding. We have been investigating for so many years but have not been able to find their hiding place. But Yuan Aruo has been colluding with them for a long time, so Yuan Aruo must know where they are.”

This is also why Si Yelin kept Yuan Aruo.

Those people probably valued Yuan Aruo's twenty years at the base and wanted her to work for them, to find the key for them. If they wanted to bribe Yuan Aruo, then it couldn't have been just anyone; it must have been an important high-ranking official.

Yuan Aruo should know where they are hiding.

"That woman won't tell us easily, will she?" Xiao Lang frowned. "She'd love to see us panic. That woman is a madwoman!"

"She'll have to talk, whether she wants to or not! We'll use every one of the eight hundred kinds of torture, then she'll have no choice but to talk! Let's see how long she can keep up this stubbornness!"

The next second, Xiao Lang said coldly again!

Yuan Aruo had no choice; she had to speak!

but.

Yuan Aruo is just that stubborn.

The more Chu Miao and Si Yelin tried to get something out of her, the less she would say!

She was also clever; she knew that Chu Miao and Si Yelin were in such a hurry because this thing must be very important to them.

Then she won't tell!

Let them keep worrying!

She was already ruined. Whether she lived or died made no difference to her. Although the torture was painful, she felt it was all worth it when she thought of Si Yelin and Chu Miao's anxiety!

After being tortured for a full day and night, Yuan Aruo was covered in sores that there wasn't a single patch of unscathed skin left on her body, but she still didn't give in.

Chu Miao smiled sinisterly upon learning this.

"She's being stubborn."

"I'd like to see whether her bones are harder, or my elixir is harder!"

After saying that, Chu Miao strode towards the dungeon.

Si Yelin and the others followed behind her.

The dungeon was damp and dark.

Yuan Aruo lay on the ground like a dead dog, her whole body covered in blood, not a single patch of good skin.

“Ha…Chu Miaomiao…” Upon seeing Chu Miao, the haughty Yuan Aruo raised her head to look at her. Seeing the clean and noble Chu Miao, and then thinking of her bloodied appearance, she felt a strong sense of resentment and shame. But when she thought that Chu Miao had also set foot in this filthy place, she laughed again: “You came here to trick me into telling you, didn’t you? You want to know where the time machine is, right?”

"Too bad, I'd rather die than tell you! Bring on all the tortures you have! I know all the hundred kinds of tortures the base has! I can take them!"

"I'm not in the mood to waste words with you, Yuan Aruo. Are you sure you're not going to talk?"

Yuan Aruo spat at her fiercely!

"very good."

Chu Miao squatted down and stuffed a pill directly into her mouth.

Yuan Aruo had no strength to resist. The pill slid down her throat, and she paused for a moment, "What did you feed me?!"

Chu Miao did not answer her.

He just stared at her expressionlessly.

This kind of unknown fear is the most frightening.

Yuan Aruo suppressed her panic and pretended to be fearless.

But soon, she couldn't hold on any longer.

Feeling as if thousands of insects were gnawing at her body, Yuan Aruo curled up in discomfort, "Ha..."

It hurts so much.

It felt as if countless tiny worms had sprung up inside her bone marrow, gnawing at it, and she screamed in unbearable pain!

"Chu Miaomiao! What on earth did you feed me?!"

She roared, her voice tinged with fear!

"Bone-Corroding Pill".

Chu Miao finally answered her.

Bone-Corroding Pill?

Yuan Aruo trembled. What was that thing?!

"It's a kind of elixir that I researched myself; to be precise, it's a poison."

"After taking this medicine, your body will be filled with countless worm eggs, which will then hatch into countless worms, multiplying and feeding on your bone marrow, your flesh, and finally your brain. Eventually, your body will be filled with worms, so many that you can feel them wriggling inside you. Finally, they will break through your skin and flesh, and your body will be completely transformed into a swarm of worms!"

Yuan Aruo's body trembled even more violently, and her lips trembled incessantly.

She had never heard of such a cruel poison before. Chu Miao was too vicious!

She's so cruel!

Even Xiao Lang, who was standing next to her, shuddered as he listened.

Oh God.

His master's skills are truly amazing, holy crap.

Too cruel.

Luckily, he didn't offend her!

Chu Yue was already used to Chu Miao's methods, and he didn't find her cruel at all.

He also felt that Chu Miao had gone too far.

Si Yelin didn't say anything, but just stood behind Chu Miao, looking like he would support her no matter what she did.

"what……"

"It hurts so much!" Yuan Aruo screamed again.

It hurts so much.

It hurt so much.

This pain was different from the torture the base used on her.

Those tortures are all external.

And she knew when it could end.

She can relax for a while if she stops.

But this medicine is different.

She felt insects gnawing at her body all the time; it hurt so much…
