“No! Don't! Daddy, Mommy! Save me!” The pain made Xu Lingling break down instantly. She could even clearly feel the warm blood flowing out of her wound. She struggled hard, but she did not dare to move her head as she was afraid that the sharp dagger would cut her throat. “I was wrong! I shouldn't have scolded you. I apologize to you. Please forgive me, sob…”

Xu Lingling was utterly filled with regret.

If she had known that Zou Xingxing was a lunatic, she would never have provoked her!

Seeing Xu Lingling's tears and mucus streaming down her face and her makeup turning into a mess, Zou Xingxing laughed in satisfaction. “Sc.u.m should have the look of a sc.u.mbag. Xu Lingling, your current appearance really suits you. I can't even bear to kill you anymore.”

Xu Lingling saw a hint of hope in surviving and said hurriedly, “Please let me go. I… I can pretend as if nothing happened!”

Pride and ego now were nothing compared to survival.

She could feel that this lunatic, Zou Xingxing, would really kill her!

Zou Xingxing narrowed her eyes behind her gla.s.ses as the dagger in her hand suddenly slashed across Xu Lingling's neck.

Xu Lingling was so frightened that she let out a scream that was on the verge of death. Then, there was the sound of water flowing, and the pungent smell of urine spread in the air.

Zou Xingxing knew her limits. The thin layer of skin on Xu Lingling's neck was sliced, but it didn't cut into her throat or veins.

“Tsk, tsk. The young miss of the Xu family actually peed her pants so quickly. Xu Lingling, we've just started playing, so don't dampen my spirits. I hate toys that dampen my spirits the most. If you dare to faint from fright, I'll cut your neck and slowly empty the blood in you.” After Zou Xingxing said that, she casually threw her dagger away and took out a small box of embroidery needles from her school bag.

Xu Lingling was completely afraid now. She cried until she couldn't breathe. “What exactly do you want? I can give you money! My parents are rich! Five million… No, is ten million enough? I'm only begging you to let me go, that's all!”

Zou Xingxing furrowed her brows unhappily. She raised her index finger and placed it on her lips. “Annoying. You're disturbing my threading. It looks like I have to think of a way to make you shut your filthy mouth.”

Xu Lingling was so afraid that she didn't dare to make a sound. Then, she watched as Zou Xingxing put a white cotton thread through a needle and walked towards her.

An extremely bad feeling emerged in Xu Lingling's heart.

She opened her mouth to let out an ear-piercing scream.

Immediately after, Xu Lingling was slapped across the face, and her vision turned black.

“Shut up,” Zou Xingxing warned coldly. She pinched Xu Lingling's mouth together and pierced it with a needle. It pierced through her lips as she slowly pulled at the thread.

As the white threads pierced through the wound, Xu Lingling could only whimper in pain as she watched helplessly while the pure white threads were dyed red.

Zou Xingxing hummed a tune as if she was treating this as a work of art while she sewed Xu Lingling's mouth shut.

“Not bad. This way, you won't be able to scream anymore. Come, let us continue.” With that, Zou Xingxing stabbed the bloodstained embroidery needle into the c.h.i.n.k between Xu Lingling's finger and nail.

Xu Lingling's broken sobs echoed in the air. About ten minutes later, she couldn't take it anymore and fainted.

“How useless. So boring!” Zou Xingxing looked at the unconscious Xu Lingling and pouted. “Hmph, I'll play with you tomorrow.”

With that, Zou Xingxing yawned and turned to leave the warehouse.
