Chapter 373: Do Whatever You Want

Back then, he was a prominent figure among the nobility of the Southern Frontier, not only skilled in both literary and martial arts but also from a prestigious family, which made him the object of many noble ladies' infatuation.

People spontaneously referred to him as the Jade-faced Prince Shao Xin.

However, he only had eyes for one person, the Crown Princess Yuan Meng of the Southern Frontier at that time.

Yuan Meng was not only beautiful but also intelligent and adept at military strategy.

Shao Xin believed that in the entire Southern Frontier, only the Crown Princess was worthy of him.

Similarly, Yuan Meng held herself in high regard and thought that only Shao Xin was truly outstanding in the Southern Frontier.

Shao Xin felt fulfilled by the princess's affection and devoted all his attention to Yuan Meng.

Until one day, Mo Qing's appearance shattered their perfect world.

From then on, Yuan Meng no longer treated him kindly and even asked him to help her win Mo Qing's heart.

Facing such a request from the woman he loved, Shao Xin was helpless.

Nevertheless, to fulfill his beloved's wish, he had to act against his conscience, hoping that Yuan Meng would eventually see his deep affection and return to him.

Unexpectedly, after several setbacks, Yuan Meng remained undeterred and became increasingly infatuated with Mo Qing, making Shao Xin an accomplice in this obsession.

Regardless of whose fault it was, his beloved ultimately died at Mo Qing's hands.

Yuan Meng could not love him, but while she was alive, he could see her every day. Mo Qing, however, ended his hope with a single mistake.

In that case, all those surnamed Mo must pay for the life of his beloved girl.

After Yuan Meng's death, Shao Xin lost all will to live and turned white overnight.

To achieve his goal of avenging his beloved, he secretly sold all his family's assets to seek out a master to teach him the art of raising Gu worms.

When his family learned that he had sold all their property, they severed ties with him in anger.

Not only that, but he also paid a heavy price to become a top Gu master.

For example, he was no longer a whole man...

Years ago, he found the best Gu master in the Southern Frontier to teach him the art of raising Gu worms and handed over all the money from selling his assets to his master.

His master told him that his yang energy was too strong, making it unlikely for him to become a master of Gu worms.

To avenge Yuan Meng, he castrated himself to weaken his yang energy.

It can be said that he plotted for years and paid a great price to avenge his beloved.

He once swore that on the anniversary of Yuan Meng's death, he would bring all the male members of the Mo family to her grave to offer sacrifices, thus comforting her spirit.

Over the years, he meticulously planned each step, only to fail at the most critical moment.

He had hoped to capture Mo Jiuye and find the missing Mo Zhongyuan, thereby completing the list of male Mo family members.

Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, everything went awry. Not only did he fail to capture Mo Jiuye, but the other male Mo family members under his control also disappeared one by one.

In recent days, two of them appeared before him, excluding Mo Jiuye.

Thus, it seemed that the other missing Mo family members had also been rescued, just not appearing before him.

Thinking about this, despair filled his heart.

At this moment, he only wished to die, ensuring that the Mo family would never find Mo Qing and his son.

However, given the current situation, his desire to die was impossible.

Mr. Si Meng tried to steady his mind and asked, "What do you want?"

Mo Jiuye sneered, "Do I need to spell it out?"

Mr. Si Meng let out a series of cold laughs, "Ha... Since I'm going to die anyway, do whatever you want!"

He firmly believed that he could withstand any torture as long as he refused to reveal Mo Qing's whereabouts, taking them all to hell together.

Mo Jiuye had anticipated that Mr. Si Meng would not easily divulge the whereabouts of his father and brother. Rather than wasting time talking, he decided to act decisively.

With this in mind, he reached into his pocket and took out a packet of itch powder, without even bothering to threaten him, directly sprinkling it on Mr. Si Meng.

Mr. Si Meng, being an expert in poisons, recognized the smell of the itch powder. When Mo Jiuye opened the packet, he wanted to say something, but Mo Jiuye gave him no chance to speak.

An excruciating itch instantly spread throughout Mr. Si Meng's body, causing him to emit a laugh more painful than crying, repeatedly trying to bang his head against the carriage.

Mo Jiuye and Mo Zhongyuan watched him closely, not allowing him any opportunity.

Mo Zhongyuan, without a word, moved forward to cover his mouth, denying him even the chance to scream.

Mr. Si Meng's eyes were filled with pain, even shedding tears.

Mo Jiuye and Mo Zhongyuan could feel that Mr. Si Meng was in a state worse than death.

However, compared to what he had done to the male members of the Mo family and their subordinates, his suffering was negligible.

Mo Jiuye's eyes turned bloodshot as he took out another small porcelain bottle.

This was also given to him by He Zhiran, a drug that causes wounds to fester.

However, He Zhiran had slightly modified it so that when applied to the body, it only accelerates the festering of wounds, exposing bones, but does not spread.

Such a drug would not endanger Mr. Si Meng's life, yet it could make his existence unbearable.

Especially the sight of the wounds turning gangrenous; it was almost impossible to look at directly.

With a forceful grip, Mo Jiuye grabbed Mr. Si Meng's white hair and made him sit up straight.

Then he poured the medicine onto the wound on his leg, ensuring that from this angle, Mr. Si Meng could see everything clearly.

His intention was to let the old fox witness his flesh rotting bit by bit until the bone was exposed.

Mr. Si Meng's eyes grew increasingly terrified, but he had no power to resist and could only endure the intense itching, at the mercy of others.

Mo Zhongyuan also understood Mo Jiuye's intentions and stepped forward to pull up Mr. Si Meng's trouser leg, revealing the scars on his leg inflicted by their brothers.

Mo Jiuye waved the medicine bottle in front of Mr. Si Meng's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what this is?"

Although Mr. Si Meng did not know exactly what it was, he was certain it was something meant to torture him.

Thinking about everything he had endured over the past two days, Mr. Si Meng was truly frightened.

He wanted to beg for mercy and find some excuse to deceive Mo Qing and the whereabouts of the Mo family's eldest son and his sons. However, his mouth was sealed, leaving him unable to express himself. He could only stare fearfully at Mo Jiuye, emitting a series of muffled whimpers.

Mo Jiuye could see that the old fox was trying to plead for mercy, but he had no intention of letting his enemy off.
