The Devil Suo Lun!_2 186: 129: Conquer the Qin Spoon!
The Devil Suo Lun!_2 Suo Lun took out another one and said, “This is the last one, eating too much will hurt you.”
His voice was softer than it had ever been, causing Gui Qinshao’s heart to quiver violently once more.
Before, facing Gui Qinshao who was like a princess, Suo Lun’s words were always cold and scornful.
Now that she was so disheveled, having lost all her dignity, he had become gentle instead.
After finishing the second bun, she tremblingly held up the cup with both hands and drank every last drop of the clear water inside.
Once her hunger had been slightly alleviated, her sense of rationality and shame surged back into her mind.
Thinking back on her unbearable behavior these past days, she truly felt an overwhelming sense of shame.
Where was her pride, her dignity?
Why was she so weak and disappointing?
Her most shameful, ugliest side had been completely exposed in front of Suo Lun.
Then she sat hugging her knees again, bursting into tears once more.
Suo Lun just patted her back gently, without saying a word.
And Gui Qinshao kept crying, just like that.
Did Suo Lun really take pity on her?
Did he really feel sympathy for her?
Of course not, this was just his heart-wrenching strategy.
Everyone’s dignity has a baseline.
Once it’s broken, there’s no going back, and one will tumble down into complete degradation.
This baseline varies in strength; for some man, it might be trading his wife for a future.
Or it might be selling his body to another man.
Once he breaks this baseline, he transforms completely, and there’s no turning back.
For Gui Qinshao, her baseline might just be eating a moldy and stinking bun.
If she actually ate it today, every time she remembered it in the future, it would make her sick, and all her pride would vanish completely.
After all, she was a little princess spoiled to the extreme since childhood, so her dignity had a very high threshold.
So Suo Lun tormented her to the brink, and just when she was about to collapse, about to break through that threshold of her dignity, he gently pulled her back.
At that moment, her heart would feel an exceptional warmth.
Even though her dreadful situation was entirely brought on by Suo Lun.
It was like when an audience watches a movie, seeing an utterly villainous person occasionally do a bit of good, they would be deeply moved, seeing it as the brilliance of humanity.
Of course, as for the fact that she was violated by Suo Lun eight times, was that a breach of her dignity?
It might seem strange, being violated eight times doesn’t break dignity, but eating a moldy, rotting bun does?
However, for Gui Qinshao, who was like a little princess, that was indeed the case.
When she found out her purity had been defiled by Suo Lun, although she felt as if struck by thunder, completely unable to accept it at the time,
she didn’t have a particular love in her life, so her chastity was not cherished as dearly as life itself.
Moreover, Suo Lun was so attractive and charming.
Being violated by him seven or eight times, although it would fill her with hatred, it would not…
It was like a flawless young lady of noble birth, who one day is drugged by Takeshi Kaneshiro and loses her virginity, she would be distraught, feel as if thunderstruck, but she wouldn’t actually seek death over it.
However, if she were defiled by a filthy, stinking beggar, she would indeed wish she could die immediately, turning it into a lifelong nightmare.
Has it become inflamed?” Suo Lun suddenly asked.
Gui Qinshao paused momentarily, then continued to nod her head and weep without answering.
Then, Suo Lun abruptly pulled down her torn trousers and spread her legs apart.
Instantly, Gui Qinshao was so startled that she stopped crying and looked up at Suo Lun with a frightened gaze.
Was this beast going to torment her again?
Was he going to violate her once more?
“It’s okay, there’s no inflammation,” Suo Lun glanced and then handed her a bottle of ointment, saying, “If it hurts, you can apply some yourself.”
After that, Suo Lun left just like that.
Gui Qinshao, holding the ointment in her hands, suddenly cried out loud, “Suo Lun, when are you going to let me go?”
“Soon,” Suo Lun said, and then he left directly.
It was quite some time before Gui Qinshao realized when she became so shameless.
To let Suo Lun inspect her most cherished place without feeling angry?
Then, she desperately pulled her legs together, put on her ruined silk trousers, and once again hugged her knees as she wept aloud.
Of course, she did not know that at the same time Suo Lun was using his heart-wrenching tactic on her, he also ruthlessly extorted her father for a total of thirty thousand Gold Coins.
Suo Lun was in dire need of the thirty thousand Gold Coins from Gui Xingfu.
Because more than two months had passed, and there was less than three months left before the deadline to take back Tianshui City.
In these fewer than three months, he must muster an army of twenty thousand.
His plan was simple, using Yan Nai’er’s father’s Silver Wolf Mercenary Corps as the core.
Then, with more than a hundred thousand Gold Coins, he would hire an army of twenty thousand.
That’s right, to solve the problem entirely with Gold Coins, directly hiring twenty thousand mercenaries to take back Tianshui City.
Therefore, he needed an advance payment of fifty thousand Gold Coins.
Duke Zhi Ting could only provide an advance of twenty thousand Gold Coins at most, and indeed, selling salt coupons could raise a large sum of Gold Coins quickly.
Gathering salt merchants, building a fleet to transport salt, auctioning salt coupons, all these took time.
At the very least, it would take a few months to actually see the money.
But Suo Lun needed to gather fifty thousand Gold Coins in a short time.
Originally, according to Suo Lun’s plan, Duke Zhi Ting was to provide all fifty thousand Gold Coins in advance.
But who would have thought that Zhi Ting’s treasury would be robbed, losing almost all the Gold Coins.
Even the twenty thousand Gold Coins needed to be transferred from a money shop.
