In the dark room, only the fire in the corner was flickering, casting her shadow on the stone wall behind her, illuminating the shape of a large character. Her hands and feet were tied by heavy black iron chains.

The places where her wrists and ankles were fixed were not handcuffs, but iron nails as thick as thumbs were directly pierced into her bones. The slightest movement would pull the wounds, and the pain would penetrate into her heart.

However, even if she did not move, the weight of her body made it difficult for her wrists to bear. The joints were swollen, and the wounds nailed by the iron nails were black and festering. It was unbearable to look closely.

The person being hung was like dead at this time, with no breath. But the person opposite her knew that in a moment, this woman would wake up again. Her vitality was always surprisingly strong.

"Cough... cough! Cough!" Just thinking about it, the woman opposite suddenly coughed violently, heart-wrenchingly, as if she was going to cough out all her internal organs.

Her voice alarmed the guards outside, and they heard a few shouts: "Hey, Lord BiCang has woken up again. Go and notify the master."

"It's your turn this time. The master took longer than usual to resurrect. He has been unwell these two days and has a bad temper. I've been there twice in a row, and I almost lost my head last time. No matter what, it's your turn this time."

"Tsk! Okay, okay, just watch the door."

It became quiet outside.

He looked at the woman across from him, separated by two iron fences, and muttered, "What's there to be afraid of? You beat me every day, and you don't mind the pain. It makes me sick

just by looking at it." "I feel relieved to know that the people who are in trouble with me are unhappy."

The other person's hoarse voice said this lightly, which made Bei Xiaoyan's mouth twitch.

He said dissatisfiedly, "Lord Bicang Shen Li, you are not deaf today, and your voice is also good. It's not easy to have such a beautiful start to the day, can't you speak more slowly?"

Shen Li lowered his head and sneered, "In this kind of ghost place, no beginning will be beautiful.

And... I hope that I will lose all five senses every day."

Bei Xiaoyan bent down, secretly peeked into Shen Li's eyes blocked by the drooping hair, and said, "It's okay.

You can't see today, but what about your sense of smell and touch? As long as your sense of touch is gone, you will get through today."

"Thanks to you, today I have recovered three of my five senses, and touch is one of them."

Bei Xiaoyan shuddered, hugged his legs and shrank into the corner: "Then you have to bear it, I don't want to hear your screams when I see blood and flesh flying, it will scare me to death."

Shen Li curved her lips and said nothing more.

Shen Li didn't know how long it had been since the battle on the sea that day, but she only heard from Bei Xiaoyan that it was about three months ago.

Three months, if it was in the human world, it would be fine, but if it was in the heaven or the Immortal Realm world, I'm afraid that the outside world has changed a

lot. The people in the Immortal Realm world probably thought that she was dead. I don't know how the Immortal Realm king's injuries have recovered, whether the order in the capital can return to normal, whether Rouya and Xuxu will cry when they know that she has died in the battle...

Will the indifferent Xingzhi God King in the outside world also have some feelings?

She suddenly wanted to see the expression on Xingzhi's face when the indifference no longer existed, but such an idea was only thought about.

Xingzhi had too much on his shoulders, he couldn't lose that indifference, even if the three realms were in sorrow, he couldn't be moved at all, this was the attitude that a god should have.

Shen Li calmed down and put aside her chaotic thoughts.

She didn't know when she was imprisoned here. The blazing flames of that day were the last scene she remembered. When she woke up again, she had been captured here, and her body seemed to be very different from before.

Her body was empty. No matter how she tried to mobilize her magic power, she didn't have a breath.

She was just like a mortal who had never practiced. However, her skin was much stronger than before and was always emitting extremely hot temperatures, as if it was burning.

Although she couldn't feel it herself, Bei Xiaoyan threw a few pieces of mud dug out of the ground to her when he was free. Anything that touched her body was directly dried and scattered into gravel.

So she was locked up with extremely cold black iron, which was the only thing that could suppress the burning energy in her body.

But if Shen Li wanted to escape from here, she couldn't rely on her strong and hot skin and flesh. Without magic power, she couldn't move.

What's more troublesome is that her five senses, vision, smell, hearing, touch, taste, and vocal cords, she would lose several senses inexplicably every day, or she couldn't see things today, or she couldn't hear or speak tomorrow, or like today, two senses disappeared and three senses appeared. It changed every day, which made her very annoyed.

But anyway, she was in a cage and couldn't move. The five senses were not as important to her as usual. After a few days, Shen Li got used to it. Sometimes when she was interrogated and beaten, Shen Li was even a little glad that her touch disappeared from time to time.

The lack of pain and thick skin made her feel much better.

Seeing the other party torturing herself with all his strength, but she didn't feel anything, just looked down on him with cold eyes. Whenever she thought of such a scene, she couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority from the bottom of her heart.

Shen Li was thinking, when she suddenly heard a "click" sound, and the man in black led the man in green robe slowly into the dungeon. The dancing flames were imprinted on the face of the newcomer, and the light and shadow intertwined on his face, making his burnt wrinkled skin look even more terrifying and disgusting.

However, Shen Li did not have to face this terrifying face today.

"How is your Highness today?" His hoarse voice pierced Shen Li's eardrums, and Shen Li just sneered and ignored him.

It was Fu Sheng, who had tortured her every day these days and who had captured her here. After experiencing such a scorching, Shen Li felt that she was a phoenix, gifted, and probably not afraid of fire. However, this guy did not die, which was a little unbelievable.

Shen Li even doubted everything that day, whether she had a dream, imagining that the spy who betrayed the Immortal Realm world was Mofang, imagining that she had a battle with Fu Sheng on the sea, and imagining that she burned herself to death on the sea.

However, after a few days, when she occasionally recovered her hearing, she heard the chatter of the guards outside the door, and some of Bei Xiaoyan's mutterings.

Shen Li roughly knew that everything was real at the beginning. She was really burned, Mofang was really a spy, and Fu Sheng was really... immortal.

He actually had the ability to resurrect, and he could revive himself over and over again without hurting his vital parts.

Shen Li then realized that his name, Fu Sheng, actually meant "resurrection".

What a tough guy, but fortunately he was burned into a devilish character by her, his magic power was not as good as before, and those Immortal Realms were almost all burned clean by her, even Mofang was burned to ashes.

They suffered heavy losses and could not go out to do evil for the time being. At least it could give the Immortal Realm world a chance to recuperate.

If they could establish a deeper connection with the heavenly army at this time, then even if the heavenly soldiers were useless, the Immortal Realm soldiers would steal their heavenly magic weapons and use them, and their combat power would be at least ten times higher. If she could go back...

A trace of pain came from her wrists and ankles, interrupting Shen Li's idea. Even if Shen Li could endure it, she was frowned by the piercing pain. It was the black iron chain pulling Shen Li's wrists and ankles that was knocked loudly, and the iron nails that penetrated her bones trembled. Such a small vibration was more mentally abrasive than a large shaking, making people itch and unable to scratch, but the pain could not be relieved.

If she could go back... Shen Li gritted her teeth, enduring the awful itchiness and pain, thinking to herself that she probably wouldn't be able to go back one day. Now she only hoped that Fu Sheng would torture her more severely every day, so that she would die soon, free herself from the pain, and put an end to it all.

Then someone shone a strong light in front of Shen Li's eyes, and someone else blew a firecracker next to Shen Li's ear. The explosion made Shen Li subconsciously tilt her head.

Fu Sheng smiled roughly: "I think your hearing and touch have recovered today. Your voice should be good too. So, your Highness still doesn't plan to hand over the Phoenix Fire Pearl today?"

It was this question again.

Although Shen Li hated Fu Sheng and didn't want to answer anything he said, she felt helpless on this issue: "I ate it."

She said so. She knew that the Phoenix Fire Pearl these people were talking about was probably the "Bi Hai Cang Pearl" that the Immortal Realm King gave her.

But according to the Immortal Realm King, it was hers, and she ate it as the Immortal Realm King said. However, Fu Sheng now asked her to hand over the pearl that had been digested and gone to who knows where...

Shen Li smiled and mocked: "You come and take it out."

Fu Sheng gritted his teeth and raised his hand to slap Shen Li, but his hand in his robe was still covered with traces of burns. He tried to hold back his anger, "Since the Lord Bicang refused to cooperate, you will suffer some more physical pain today."

After saying that, he raised his hand, and the attendant next to him brought out the black iron whip that had been prepared long ago. Fu Sheng covered his mouth and coughed twice and stepped aside. The next step was nothing more than a whipping.

Shen Li lowered her head and endured it. Bei Xiaoyan in the cage opposite her looked even paler than Shen Li. Seeing her like this, he seemed to see himself like this. He shrank in the corner, trying not to attract the attention of people outside, but when Fu Sheng turned around, he still saw him curled up in the corner.

"Don't be afraid, Third Prince. You have cooperated with us so well and told us everything you know. We will not treat you unfairly."

Bei Xiaoyan nodded. He was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe.

This torture lasted until Fu Sheng was tired. He waved his hand and left the dungeon first, and the servants followed him. The prison door was locked, and only the torch, him and Shen Li were left. Looking at Shen Li covered in blood, Bei Xiaoyan was a little afraid to speak. The cell was silent for a long time.

Instead, Shen Li spoke first and asked, "Telling them all the information about Beihai, allowing them to seize the Beihai royal power and making the Beihai clan their puppets, the third prince has no guilt at all?"

"I..." Bei Xiaoyan said with a shrinking voice, "Of course I feel guilty... but I can't help it. I'm not you. I can't stand such pain, and my mother is guilty. I have been discriminated against by others since I was a child. The Beihai royal family has no affection for me. I betrayed them... it was also a helpless act."

Shen Li said hoarsely, "Everyone has some difficulties, but betrayal is always hard to forgive."

Bei Xiaoyan was silent: "If you don't take care of yourself, the heaven and earth will punish you. You... why do you have to be stubborn with them? It's like this, why don't you give him what he wants?"

Shen Li's body was hung on two chains. Even in this situation, she laughed: "I really ate it..."

Bei Xiaoyan looked at her like a monster. Shen Li only said: "Don't worry, Third Prince. I am indestructible..." Bei Xiaoyan lowered her head and muttered: "I really don't understand you. You can still laugh in this situation."

Of course she can laugh. She has been trained.

After sitting for an unknown period of time, Bei Xiaoyan gradually fell asleep. When she was in a deep sleep, she heard a few crisp sounds.

Bei Xiaoyan was startled and opened her eyes to see a man in black standing in front of Shen Li. He clenched his fists, raised and lowered his hands beside Shen Li's ears, as if he wanted to touch her but didn't dare to: "Your Majesty..." He called out sadly, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

The purple sword in his hand appeared, and he directly cut off the black iron that trapped Shen Li's limbs, and hugged the unconscious Shen Li in his arms, "I'll take you out." These five words were hoarse but resolute, and no one could refute them.
