2176 A Freakish Woman
Even though he normally hid it very well and could recount a lot of events that happened in the past between them, there were some details that he naturally missed.
Madam née Feng was certain starting the day before yesterday that this Geng Pengcheng was just someone's substitute.
However, that person's methods were superb. The body did not change, but the person inside did.
In other words, the original Geng Pengcheng's soul had probably already dissipated, his spiritual conscious eradicated.
Although this man had never loved her, it would be a lie to say that she was not sorrowful after so many years of being husband and wife.
If not for Geng Pengcheng, she wouldn't have joined the organization and thus encounter such a transformation.
Turning from a useless person into a person with a superpower.
Her life had already completely transformed. Even though Geng Pengcheng just treated her with respect and consideration, he behaved rather well as a husband.
He gave her the prestige she deserved as his madam during official functions, and he never allowed those concubines to slight her inside the official mansion.
He just left like this after they spent several decades together.
It would not be sincere to say that she did not feel regretful.
After knowing that he was gone, Madam née Feng suffered from heartache these past few days…
It turned out that oftentimes, you were unaware while it happened. It was only when you lost the other person that you realize the other person's presence was actually not that insignificant.
It was fine that her husband did not love her. At least he was still accompanying her. Yet now, there was nothing left.
Madam née Feng clenched her fists and strode into the main hall.
This main hall was decorated very gloomily.
There were wood carvings of the two demon attendants of the King of Hell, as well as evil spirits, hanging on all the walls. Each one of them looked extremely terrifying.
A tall and skinny young man was currently standing with his back to her in the hall.
He slowly turned around with a devil mask on his face. His bloodred eyes were fixed on her.
Madam née Feng's heart jolted, and she hastily bowed. She respectfully greeted, "Hall Master Gong."
A low and raspy voice came from behind Hall Master Gong.
A figure arrived next to her at the speed of lightning and grabbed her neck.
Madam née Feng was terrified. The hand choking her was exerting a huge force.
She lifted her neck up with difficultly to see who had seized her.
She saw a woman with an ashen complexion and green veins bulging from her face glaring at her ferociously with bared teeth.
That face really wasn't one that resembled a normal human's.
The woman's hair had been shaved clean, and her bald head was also bulging with hideous green veins. The woman was choking her using her left hand, with such strength that it rendered her unable to move.
"Hall-Hall Master Gong," Madam née Feng spoke unclearly.
"Ah-Li," the man called out.
The bald woman called Ah-Li flung away Madam née Feng, and the latter crashed to the ground a meter away.
She panted heavily while lying on the ground. She masked her terror and looked up at Hall Master Gong with difficultly. Afterwards, she quickly looked down again subserviently and pleaded respectfully, "Spare me, Hall Master. Spare me, Hall Master."
"Feng Lan." Hall Master Gong looked at her coldly and asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Madam née Feng looked down, afraid to even breathe heavily.
"You have greatly disappointed the lord!" Hall Master Gong scoffed, "Your recklessness has impeded the lord's plans."
"Those people have already found this place. What will you do?"
A cruel and bloody smile appeared on Feng Lan's lips.
