Heaven Awaits in Hell

Hearing his subordinate's words and then seeing them all kneel, Mo Li's anger dampened a little.

His gaze fell upon Zion, whose unconscious body was now being held by a maid.

"He's weak," Mo Li just glanced at Zion's figure, and a disgusted look appeared on his face.

"Yes, master. He's just in the first stage of Qi Building, even though his body's age is eighteen years. He was only able to deal with the two-winged tiger because it was in its weakened state," The group leader quickly explained.

"Wake him up, I want to ask him myself," Mo Li ordered.

"Yes, master," The group leader looked at Zion's figure, which was being held by a maid and the next moment he punched his solar plexus.

COUGH! COUGH!

Zion's figure awakened the next moment. The maid let go of him, and his figure fell to his knees.

Gasping for breath while coughing, Zion looked at his surroundings in confusion and surprise.

His puzzled gaze soon fell on Mo Li, who was watching his actions in an amused manner.

"So, you were the one who killed my two-winged tiger?" Mo Li asked.

"…Who are you…where is this…where's Fana??..." Confused, a variety of questions came out of Zion's mouth.

A slight frown appeared on Mo Li's face, and he shifted his gaze towards the group leader.

Understanding his master's intentions, the group leader kicked Zion's stomach.

"Agh!" Zion clenched his stomach the next moment and vomited out his gastric juices.

"Just answer what you are asked. Did you kill master's two-winged tiger or not?!" The group leader pulled Zion by his hair and shouted in his face.

"Two-winged tiger…?" Zion was immediately reminded of the beast he had clashed with earlier.

Seeing that Zion was not responding, the man kneed his stomach, making Zion retch one more time as he fell to the ground.

"You will still not say it, huh?" The man said in anger and once again picked him up and was about to punch him when Zion finally said, "I did…I killed that beast."

Visibly relieved, the man let go of Zion, and he fell to his knees once again.

"I don't like getting my plans spoiled, you know. It irks me. Especially when the one who does it is a subordinate or a weakling like you," Mo Li's voice deepened as he continued, "but at the same time it's also something I always look forward to, do you know why?"

A sinister smile formed on Mo Li's face.

Seeing this familiar smile, a chill ran down the spines of the four men as they didn't dare to move even a single inch.

Pressing his stomach with his hand, Zion looked at Mo Li's sinister expression in trepidation. The person in front of him looked a hundred times more dangerous than the beast he had fought with earlier.

"I just did it to protect my-" Zion tried to give an explanation.

"Wrong answer,"

Zion was interrupted by Mo Li's remark, and the next moment, a beam of red coloured Qi gushed out of Mo Li's right hand and wrapped itself around Zion.

'Qi?' Zion muttered in shock as his body was engulfed in Qi the next moment.

A murderous, bloodthirsty aura penetrated deep into Zion's heart, and his whole body shuddered in fright. He felt as if someone with enormous strength was suffocating him. The very next moment, his body was raised up in the air. The Qi was pulling him up.

Zion flailed his limbs in the air in horror like a fish out of water.

'Yes, struggle more, I want more,' Mo Li chuckled, seeing Zion's desperate, horror-filled expression. He truly relished seeing his prey struggle like this.

The next moment, he slammed his palm down, and Zion's figure smashed onto the floor.

BAM!

Before Zion could scream out in pain, his body was once again raised up and smashed down again.

BAM!

And it kept going.

BAM!

BAM!

The four men, seeing Zion's pitiable state, were inwardly sighing in relief. If not for him, the ones being pounded on the ground like that would be them.

BAM!

.

.

After more than ten minutes, Mo Li finally got bored with Zion's bloodied figure that no longer responded as energetically as before.

There was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

This change in their master's appearance was caught by the four of them.

Not wanting his attention to shift towards them, the group leader bowed and said, "Master, along with him, we've also found a beautiful woman. Despite being a mortal, her beauty is extraordinary so we brought her along with us…"

"Oh?" Interest appeared on Mo Li's face as he continued, "Bring her in, let me see what you guys call a true beauty."

"Fana…" Zion murmured in pain. His head was bleeding heavily. Many of his bones were shattered.

His state was even worse than earlier. Even in that state with every inch of his body screaming from pain, he got worried for Fana when he heard their words.

Two maids, grabbing Fana by her hand on each side, soon walked into the hall.

Fana's heart pounded furiously, and the constant thumping that she could feel on her chest made her panic even further.

She had heard the maids talk amongst each other earlier and knew that the only fate for her was death or to serve their master as a bedmaid.

Walking inside the hall, her face was always pointing towards the ground, never daring to look at the person whom everyone referred to as their master.

However, just then, she saw a man's bloodied figure sprawled on the ground. She looked at the man's face, which was covered in blood, and shouted the next moment, "Zion!"

She struggled to free her hands, the maids were about to restrain her, but they soon heard their master's words, "Let her go."

 Fana's figure immediately rushed towards Zion's fallen figure and started crying, "Zion! Zion! Please wake up…don't die, please don't die…"

"Fana…" A powerless voice escaped Zion's lips the next moment.

"You're alive!" An expression of relief appeared on her tearful face the next moment.

'So, they're a couple, huh? This is going to be interesting,' Mo Li thought in a sinister manner.

"He'll die in an hour at most. Do you want me to save his life?" Mo Li asked while resting his head on the armrest.

"Yes! Please save him! I'm willing to serve you all my life, so please save his life," Fana finally gazed at Mo Li's face and cried out.

Fana had already accepted her fate as a bed maid so she used this opportunity to negotiate for Zion's life.

'Oh?' Mo Li momentarily lost control of the Qi residing in his body when his eyes met her gaze.

A slight furrow and confusion appeared on his face.

'Interesting, I'll have to look this up,' Mo Li thought as he soon reverted to his earlier expression. This wasn't the time to think about such matters, but for him to have fun.
