Ye Xiao blandly said, “I really want to know how tough you can be! Are you as tough as you seem to be? If you beg me to stop, I mean, if you, such a heroic man, beg me, I will really enjoy it!”

“Ye Xiao!” Master Xiao was desperate. “What is the end of this humiliation? You have done it! You got me! Now ask your questions! I will tell you whatever you want to know!”

Ye Xiao smiled coldly and said, “Master Xiao, if you gave in earlier, this wouldn’t have to happen. You must know how tiring it was for me to talk so much!”

After that, he moved his hand, and a needle fiercely stabbed into Master Xiao’s fingernail.

“Ah…”

Master Xiao exclaimed. His face was twisted.

The pain in his finger pierced to the heart. The needle was in the fingernail, and the pain was unbearable. Master Xiao was a young lord from a great clan who obviously couldn’t endure such pain. He got it without preparation, and it made things worse. How was he going to hold on for it?

Ye Xiao looked at Master Xiao with a sneer in the eyes. He said with disdain, “What? How come you can’t even bear the pain from one needle in the nail? That is definitely exaggerating! Why did you pretend to be a tough man just now? This is hilarious!”

He turned around and sat back on the chair. He sat cross-legged, looked down at Master Xiao, and said arrogantly, “Listen carefully now. If you want me to ask you twice about the same question, you will get that pain again. If you ever lie to me, Master Xiao, you must hope that you can enjoy the pain soon.”

“I don’t think you will do anything stupid. Will you? Remember. As I said, you will never die unless I allow you to!” Ye Xiao sounded calm, but what he said was scary.

Master Xiao was frightened. He felt that he wasn’t facing a young man or a cunning liar, but a demon from the ancient time!

While Ye Xiao was staring at him, he felt so scared. He felt fear from deep inside his heart, and he couldn’t resist it.

He was able to activate his energy, and he was free to move, but he didn’t dare to pull out the needle in his fingernail—he was terrified. He was afraid that anything he did would cause more pain.

He was not sure that Ye Xiao truly wanted his answers or just enjoyed torturing him!

He decided to get away from it!

“First question. Your background. Your position. Your clan. Everything about you.” Ye Xiao stared at Master Xiao.

“I am Xiao, from the Sky Rhythm Clan… I am the third oldest among my brothers. I am the twenty-seventh generation of the Sky Rhythm Clan… I have been a talented youngster in the clan, and the elders all like me. The clan gave me more resources than the others. After having some achievement in the vertical bamboo flute art, I started to travel the world. I wanted to refine my technique by traveling in the real world. People liked me, and I became famous. Even people of the royal clans like me…”

Master Xiao’s pride was completely gone. He just answered the question, telling Ye Xiao everything he wanted to know.

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he didn’t ask any further questions about Master Xiao’s background. He knew that Master Xiao was in desperation, but asking him something that concerned the secret of his clan, he might turn stubborn instead. It wouldn’t be good.

Ye Xiao didn’t want to take that risk. He didn’t really care about the secret of the Sky Rhythm Clan anyway.

“Why do you hate me?” Ye Xiao asked.

“Because…” Master Xiao hesitated. His face was twisted. He seemed to be extremely angry. Suddenly, he shouted like a madman and said, “Ye Xiao, just kill me!”

“Well, as you wish then!”

Ye Xiao humphed and dashed over to Master Xiao. He reached out one hand and made a cracking sound. Master Xiao screeched because his entire right arm was broken into pieces!

The screeching sound of Master Xiao was shaking. It was harsh.

Ye Xiao didn’t stop, though. He kept pinching Master Xiao’s bones up to his shoulder and then stopped.

Master Xiao was in unbearable pain. He passed out in the end, but then woke up because of the pain, and he passed out again. It kept repeating. As he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Xiao’s cold face with no expression.

“Please, don’t torture me… Set me free…” Master Xiao moaned and begged.

Ye Xiao acted like he heard nothing. He was indifferent. He reached a hand to Master Xiao’s neck and cracked it.

Master Xiao blanked out… ‘Is it done? Finally?’

Master Xiao was going to be disappointed because, at the next moment, a dan bead was put into his mouth and flowed down his throat. Master Xiao was back to consciousness… He was alive…

Two more dan beads got into his mouth, and a strange flow of energy got into his body… He was healing…

After a while, he was shocked. His broken bones were healing fast…

In one hour, his body was totally repaired. He was well again.

The pain was still in his nerves, but his body was fine.

‘What kind of dan bead is that? How is it so incredible? Why would Ye Xiao feed me such valuable dan beads?’

Master Xiao looked shocked, and Ye Xiao coldly looked at him. He said, “How does it feel? Good?”

That was gentle and soft. Master Xiao got some saliva dribbling down his lips. The pain wasn’t gone yet. He blankly nodded.

“Well, you must feel comfortable. Let’s do it again, shall we? I am sure you will enjoy it.” While talking, Ye Xiao grabbed Master Xiao’s fingers and pinched it again. The same thing happened once again…

Master Xiao’s screech shocked the world.
