Killer Queen (GL) - Chapter 17
A whip lash ruthlessly struck Luo Yu’s back, nearly making her vomit bl00d. Luo Yu gritted her teeth and endured the pain, not daring to even let out a moan.
“Where is the body?” Another lash struck her spine. Luo Han naturally wouldn’t rest easy without seeing the body of the target—she needed to see the person alive or dead.
“I threw it on the back mountain,” Luo Yu casually made up a lie, deciding to take things one step at a time.
“Luo Yi, send people to search the back mountain!” Luo Yi, who had been standing silently by, immediately acknowledged the order and left.
“And you two wastes, hurry up and go search for me!”
Xing Wu and Xing Liu quickly retreated as if granted a great pardon. They struggled to hold back the excitement of having escaped death, desperately suppressing it, trying not to show it too obviously.
So, as they forced themselves to appear calm while leaving, Xing Wu gave Luo Yu a look of gratitude, and Xing Liu gave Luo Yu a wry smile of “fend for yourself.”
It seems their lives have been saved. Luo Yu let out a sigh of relief. Immediately after, another whip came down, striking her arm. Luo Yu let out a muffled groan and smiled bitterly to herself. They’re fine, but I’m probably in for a world of trouble!
“Everyone’s gone. Old rules. Take off your clothes and get over there and lie face down!” Luo Han suddenly roared, whipping the ground beside Luo Yu, startling her into another violent shudder.
The three words “Take off your clothes” instantly made Luo Yu’s expression turn sour. It wasn’t just fear of being beaten; more importantly, her waist and shoulder were still bleeding. Once she took off her top, her true identity would be immediately exposed, which could lead to far more serious consequences.
So, despite the frantic turmoil in her heart, Luo Yu forced herself to remain calm and slowly stood up, pulling down her pants, but she did not remove her top, hoping to fool her mother.
Luo Yu reluctantly walked over, braced her hands on the mottled wall, lowered her body, and exposed her buttocks to the cold air.
The whip, accompanied by a sharp whistling wind, struck the peak of her pale buttocks. Luo Yu gasped in pain but felt relieved—Luo Han started the beating directly without questioning her about her shirt.
However, Luo Yu no longer had the presence of mind to consider anything else. The whip fell on her buttocks like a storm. The pain was excruciating; even breathing seemed to hurt.
Luo Yu gritted her teeth and desperately endured the pain, not uttering a sound. Her small face was deathly pale, and her forehead was covered in a dense layer of cold sweat.
Her buttocks were already covered in welts, swollen high, filled entirely with bruises. In the air, the only sound was the crackling of the whip striking flesh.
Luo Yu’s fingernails desperately dug into the cracks in the wall. Even a little bl00d oozed from beneath her nails, seemingly to slightly alleviate the severe pain behind her.
Luo Han delivered another fierce lash, striking the welt that was already red and swollen. The two whip marks overlapped, and the injury swelled even higher.
“En—” Luo Yu finally couldn’t hold back a muffled groan, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Luo Han had already struck her more than twenty times consecutively.
“Shut up! Endure it! I see you haven’t been beaten enough, which is why you dare to be so lawless!”
Luo Han was in a fit of rage, so the force in her hand was naturally not light.
Another dozen or so lashes followed continuously, and every single one landed precisely on the previously swollen wounds.
“Ah—” Even though Luo Han forbade her to make a sound, the pain was unbearable, and Luo Yu screamed wretchedly.
All ten fingertips were bleeding from being pressed too hard, and Luo Yu had nearly broken her nails. Luo Yu used this almost self-mutilating method to endure the pain, yet she still couldn’t stop the overwhelming, intense pain in her buttocks.
The thin whip striking her body was indeed very, very painful. Although the skin hadn’t broken or bled yet, the bruises were entirely contained within the raised welts, which were now swollen as high as two inches.
The sound of the long whip swinging echoed behind Luo Yu. With every strike, Luo Yu let out a scream, and her thighs trembled incessantly from the pain. When Luo Han delivered the fortieth lash, Luo Yu finally collapsed, her legs buckling, and she knelt on the ground, no longer having the strength to hold herself up against the wall.
“Get up!” Luo Han commanded coldly and mercilessly.
Luo Yu tried to stand up but pulled the wounds on her buttocks. She gasped in pain and fell back to the ground again.
“I’m telling you one more time, get over there and lie face down.” Luo Han’s patience was clearly running thin. Seeing Luo Yu make no move, the whip immediately struck Luo Yu’s shoulder.
Her injured shoulder was tormented again. Luo Yu’s eyes swam with pain, and she had no choice but to obey the Queen’s instruction, obediently crawling up from the ground and returning to lean against the wall. This time, however, her thighs trembled even more severely.
Luo Han struck three more times. Luo Yu stumbled, accompanied by a suppressed groan, and fell back to the ground again. Now, simply supporting her body and standing up properly was an incredibly difficult task for Luo Yu.
This time, Luo Han didn’t speak. She just glared at her with cold, authoritative eyes, then swung the whip toward the wall.
Luo Yu offered a bitter, helpless smile and had no choice but to grit her teeth and try to stand up straight. But this time, Luo Yu tried several times in a row without success. It was simply too painful—the pain made her feel as if all her strength had been sucked away.
Luo Yu looked pitifully at Luo Han, crawling on her knees like a dog trying to please its master, kneeling by Luo Han’s leg. She looked up, gazing innocently at Luo Han.
It’s not that I’m disobeying your orders; it’s just that the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. I’m so close to throwing up from the pain.
“Don’t try that routine on me!” Luo Han cracked the long whip, circling it in the air. Luo Yu slightly flinched, preparing to receive the lash coming straight for her. To her surprise, the whip only landed on the ground beside her.
Luo Yu sighed in relief, quickly forcing a ingratiating smile, almost to the point of bowing and wagging her tail. In the Luo Family, the Queen was the absolute truth. Although Luo Yu was the Young Master, incurring the Queen’s wrath still led to horrific consequences.
Perhaps the Queen was tired of hitting, or perhaps Luo Yu’s attempt at acting cute had a tiny effect. In any case, the Queen paused for a moment, and the long whip didn’t continue to strike Luo Yu’s body.
Peace, tranquility, like the calm surface of a lake reflecting the willows on the bank.
Unfortunately, the calm was destined not to last. A greater storm was waiting ahead.
The peaceful atmosphere was completely shattered by a phone call. The call was from Luo Yi.
