Chapter 246 There Is No Need To Be A Cow Or A Horse, I Still Need One...
"Your Majesty~"
"Your Majesty~"
As Qin Mu walked along, many female prison guards knelt down and paid their respects, their voices sweet and respectful.
Their gazes towards Qin Mu were filled with admiration, infatuation, and worship, even mixed with intense desire.
Their thoughts were the same as Autumn Ru, longing for Qin Mu's favor, as it would be like soaring to the top and experiencing a transformative change in life.
For them, this was their only path to promotion and their only opportunity.
Qin Mu was already accustomed to such gazes and continued walking without changing his expression, heading towards the deepest part.
There, the imprisoned noblewomen captured this time were being held.
Lu Ningshuang tightly pursed her rosy lips and followed behind Qin Mu, lowering her gaze and trying to minimize her presence.
Soon, the two arrived at the deepest cell in the dungeon.
Lu Ningshuang looked at Qin Mu's back, her gaze obscure and inexplicable.
And the female prisoners in the cages were also looking at Qin Mu.
Their clothes were in disarray, revealing large areas of fair skin. They were thin and weak, their eyes filled with despair, looking extremely miserable and pitiful.
Some of the women were covered in bruises, a shocking sight to behold.
These were the noblewomen who were once high and mighty, but now they had become prisoners at the bottom.
In just one night, they had fallen from the clouds into the mud, losing their former dignity and glory.
Qin Mu stood at the door, standing with his hands behind his back.
Each of them had a complex expression, their gazes towards Qin Mu filled with fear, hatred, longing, fear, and resentment...
Various complicated emotions appeared on their faces.
Of course, fear and hatred were the most prevalent!
To them, Qin Mu was undoubtedly a bloodthirsty and ruthless tyrant.
It was because of Qin Mu that they had fallen into such a miserable state overnight, from noblewomen of prestigious families to lowly prisoners.
This huge contrast stirred up their emotions, making it difficult for them to accept, wishing to tear him apart and skin him alive.
But unfortunately, they were weak and had no room for resistance.
Furthermore, they knew that if they wanted to survive, they could only please the man in front of them to preserve their lives.
Otherwise...
Thinking of this, their delicate bodies trembled slightly, filled with despair.
They were all legitimate daughters of noble families, always living a life of luxury and privilege.
And now they had to serve a devil?
This was something they couldn't accept.
But what could they do if they didn't accept it?
They had already become prisoners at the bottom, with no possibility of turning things around.
Lu Ningshuang turned to look at them, a hint of sympathy appearing in her eyes, because she was in the same situation.
Reality was just so cruel.
And just as Lu Ningshuang was lost in her thoughts, Qin Mu had already pushed open the door and entered the cell.
Inside the dungeon, a woman was bound to an iron pillar by chains. Her hair was disheveled, and she had long lost her usual refined appearance, looking extremely miserable.
But even so, her beauty couldn't be concealed.
Especially at this moment, her cheeks were pale with a hint of sickness, setting off her originally peach-like face even more pitiful and charming, adding a touch of sympathy.
Qin Mu walked forward with his hands behind his back.
"Qin Mu..."
Seeing Qin Mu enter, the woman raised her head, her bright and clear eyes rippling with a mixture of anger and pain.
Lu Ningshuang trembled all over when she saw the woman.
Because she recognized her, she was Zhao Wanrong, an elder of the Zhao Family.
"How could she... end up like this..."
Lu Ningshuang's gaze was dazed, as if she saw the once stunning Zhao Wanrong.
Qin Mu looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, his expression cold to the extreme.
He sat directly in front of her, lazily leaning against the cushion, his gaze indifferent as he glanced at her and said lightly, "What's your name?"
Zhao Wanrong clenched her fists, a hint of humiliation flashing in her eyes, but she still obediently replied, "This servant's surname is Zhao, and my name is Wanrong."
Although the Zhao Family had already fallen, Zhao Wanrong still held onto hope, hoping that one day she could leave this dark and hopeless place. So even if Qin Mu abandoned her here, subjecting her to various tortures every day, she forced herself to endure. She had to endure in order to have hope for revenge.
Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "Zhao Wanrong... that name does sound quite pleasant."
Zhao Wanrong bit her rosy lips and lowered her gaze.
Qin Mu stared at the stunning woman in front of him, his smile suddenly fading, a cold glint in his eyes. "Do you know your crimes?"
Zhao Wanrong's body trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Your Majesty, I am already here, defenseless against life or death."
Zhao Wanrong's voice gradually turned icy, her face pale as paper. "You are the ruler of Great Qin, controlling the lives of billions. With a single word, you can decide our life or death. There is no need to ask for crimes."
"Tsk tsk, truly the most clear-headed person in the Zhao Family, still radiant even when trapped in a prison." Qin Mu praised as he reached out his right hand, his slender and fair fingers lightly lifting the woman's smooth and delicate chin. "It's a pity to see you reduced to this, truly regrettable."
Zhao Wanrong remained expressionless and did not struggle.
"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to serve you like a cow or a horse. This servant only asks for your mercy towards the rest of my family." Her voice was hoarse and weak. "This servant is willing to endure any punishment."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu nodded with a smile. "Alright."
Zhao Wanrong was stunned.
She thought Qin Mu would continue to humiliate her, but she didn't expect him to agree so easily.
"You agreed?" she asked.
"Mhmm." Qin Mu nodded. "Since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself."
With that, he opened the shackles on her body.
"I am willing!" Zhao Wanrong exclaimed with joy, quickly kneeling down and expressing her gratitude. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."
"Let's go." Qin Mu stood up. "It's time for you to atone."
Zhao Wanrong nodded eagerly, about to stand up.
However, at that moment,
Qin Mu spoke again.
"No need to be a cow or a horse, I still need a little dog by my side."
"Just follow me for now."
Qin Mu's mouth curled with a hint of mockery.
"..." Zhao Wanrong froze in place, a look of confusion on her face.
Her beautiful eyes widened, her pupils contracting violently, and she almost couldn't speak.
"What... what?"
Then, she saw Lu Ningshuang standing beside her, holding a chain in her hand.
"Sorry..." Lu Ningshuang's eyes showed a hint of apology as she spoke in a small voice.
Zhao Wanrong closed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes. Her heart was filled with despair, to the point where she didn't even dare to resist.
She lowered her gaze, allowing Lu Ningshuang to put the chain around her neck.
Then, she slowly crawled out of the prison on all fours.

PS: Sorry, brothers, I had some things to deal with these past few days, but it's all taken care of now. I'll make up for it with an extra update tomorrow.
