Minmin's face was dark and cold, her tone interspersed with bloodthirsty ruthlessness. "I can't harm them. They're all under the protection of the local evil god."
Evil God? Nanying indeed paid homage to some unorthodox, strange forces.
Qin Ruan looked at Minmin's already pale face that seemed to be getting worse.
She frowned and asked, "How did you make a deal with the demon?"
A look of reminiscence appeared on Minmin's face. "One day, a master was doing business with those villains from Nanying. I happened to be assigned to entertain him. The first thing he said to me was whether I wanted revenge or not.
He said he could help me get rid of all the pain, that I wouldn't be imprisoned in that hellish cage. I always dreamt about getting revenge, about escaping that damned place. I had had enough!!"
Qin Ruan observed the hatred on Minmin's face and the slight neurosis deep in her eyes, realizing her suffering wasn't only physical but also psychological.
