Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 323: Greater Good

"Good question. I can be anyone, just like you." The man said sounding indifferent.

After hearing the man, Xiao Shi then felt hot air on her cheek like someone is blowing it. She then hissed as she opens her mouth immediately trying to bite on anything, blindly.

Xiao Shi hates the fact that she is not able to hurt the man, but she made sure that her sharp fangs are ready to bite anytime.

"Tsk. I am hungry, let me eat you." Xiao Shi stated with disappointment. "You should treat me better right?" she added mockingly, walking slowly with no sure direction.

Xiao Shi already realized that the man may have cast magic to remove her senses temporarily. Now the room may not be dark at all, the man may just make her blind or unable to hear anything else aside from his voice.

She pinches the palm of her hand and by the sting, she is able to confirm her sense of touch is still there.

If someone else is in her position, they already trembled with fear, begging for mercy.

But Xiao Shi does not care if she will be hurt. As long as her slave contract is existing, she will not die, perks of selling your soul to a death god.

After thinking about her contract limitation, finding it funny that, she grateful being a life slave, Xiao Shi giggled light at first then it turns into full-blown laughter like she is making fun of the current situation.

"It is good that you can laugh." He said seriously. Since the man can easily assume the small fact, that cannot die, he will use something else to entertain a fellow wraith.

"You are being treated better actually." The man said, and as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shi heard screams.

Screams of agony, of begging. Xiao Shi got goosebumps, dread even, but she did not show any on her face.

Xiao Shi's face remained stoic, she did not even cover her ears even though the anguished screams still continued. Louder even.

"Please stop!"

"I will do anything!"

"Help me! Help me!

"Somebody! Please, I beg you!"

"Mother! Father! Help!"

Xiao Shi heard different voices, and it breaks her heart slowly. She even heard an agonizing sound of a child.

"Stop! Do not hurt the child!" Xiao Shi shouted, sounding desperate. She cannot endure it anymore when she heard the childish voice asking for help. "Why hurt innocents?!"

"Who are you to stop us? You? A slave commanding us to stop?" The man's voice mocked, "Sacrifices are made for the greater good." The man explained. "That's why wraiths exist anyway. Probably."

"Greater good?! A child should not fight for that!" Xiao Shi stated indignantly. "Why do you all even do this?!"

Xiao Shi is very much sure that the beings that captured her, are not up to any good. No one tortures and hurts others because of 'greater good'!

The screams stop but her heart still beats so fast. 'Not a child!' She can feel her eyes tearing up just by remembering the child's scream.

"Ah, that is none of your business, unless you want to free yourself from slavery." The man said casually.

Xiao Shi tried to pinpoint the man's location by his voice but it's like he is speaking on all over the place!

"Do not worry. When your current master will join us. Who knows, you can get your freedom too." He said.

"No! Imbeciles! The miss will not join despicable beings like you!" Xiao Shi exclaimed as she drags herself walking around aimlessly.

"What are you talking about? She will because you are here with us and another being of course." He added confidently.

Xiao Shi wants to give him a piece of her mind, but when she tried to speak, no voice came out.

"Enough talking. Too noisy." Xiao Shi heard the man spoke with hostility before she lost consciousness.
