Chapter 44: Another exciting game to watch!
Chen Yu was furious and even thought about stabbing Hong Xiu, his lackey, to death first. But when he thought about it carefully, how many women in Handanfang could satisfy him?
She knew the rules of Handanfang very well, but she was still willing to make an exception for herself and bring herself here in advance. However, she thought that since she could be on good terms with Murong Fei, he must be a high-ranking official in the court.
Moreover, in her opinion, as long as she clung to this olive branch, she should be able to get some protection and escape from this filthy and chaotic place called Handanfang.
Besides, even if she has Mei Niang's trust, Mei Niang has the city lord above her. She is just a small follower who can be manipulated by anyone. Killing her will be useless. It is better to take this opportunity to get everything she knows out of her.
"According to what you said, I can have anyone I want?" Chen Yu reached out and touched the locked chain on the side of the cage, tilting his head to look at her.
"That being said, it also depends on whether you are good at controlling Gu. If you choose one with a high probability, even the Soul-Snatching Powder may not be effective."
Hongxiu put all her attention on Shen Yu, carefully planning her every frown and smile.
Unfortunately, her eyelashes, which were painted to a glossy black, were so thick that she couldn't fan them. She could only half-droop her eyelids, twist her body, and said pretentiously:
"Master, this is also for your own good."
Hearing her say this, Chen Yu couldn't help but recall the incident of the coconut-skin taro paste cake being cut during the return ceremony not long ago.
If the Soul-Capture Powder was ineffective against people with a high blood count, Murong Fei would not have had to go through so much trouble to use Qi Ling to drug Xiao Jiu.
Not only did he accidentally injure Princess Xiangning, but he also offended Prince Yuyang, causing such a big commotion.
In this case, for those blood surplus people who have not resonated, if they are not stimulated, the power of the blood pill in their body is very likely to fall into a dormant state. Wouldn't that make them no different from ordinary people?
Even someone like Xiaojiu, with 90% pure Super Zero Blood, was limited by this. It turned out that this resonance was so crucial to the ability of a Super Zero Blood person.
However, it seems that all these blood remnants should now agree with each other. After all, the person behind the scenes has put so much effort into it and will definitely not let the situation get out of his control.
However, even He Lianzhu and the witch doctors of Yue Kingdom have not figured out the method of complete resonance. No matter how knowledgeable the city lord is, he will probably be helpless in the short term.
However, this Night-Eating Gu should not be difficult to find. As long as we unify the passive resonance of these Blood Remnants, we can track them down no matter where they are.
"Oh? I love challenges." As Chen Yu pondered, his eyes wandered over the bloody people in the iron cages. The words "easy to do" were clearly written on his face. He asked nonchalantly, "What's the highest percentage?"
"Seventy percent." Hongxiu blurted out almost immediately, then she grabbed the leather band on his wrist with both hands, shook it slightly, and said in a coquettish voice:
"Master, you know how difficult it is to synthesize this blood pill. Besides, the situation is tense at the top, and 70% of it is not in stock. Why don't you try again?"
"Alright, I'm just bored and want to have some fun so as not to embarrass the beauty." Chen Yu walked towards the depths of the passage.
In fact, this is exactly what he wants.
Anyway, he just wanted to find out how far the blood pill fusion of the person behind this had progressed. Now that his goal had been achieved, he naturally had to quit while he was ahead.
But it has to be said that the person behind the scenes is indeed a ruthless character. Even He Lianzhu, the founder of the blood pill, can only synthesize 60% at most, except for Xiao Jiu, who was synthesized by chance to have excellent zero blood.
And this Shicha underground casino has only been rising for four years, yet it can already call the shots so powerfully that even His Majesty can't touch it?
In fact, he understood without Xiaojiu telling him that His Majesty was secretly dealing with him in this way, which was clearly to let him deal with this parasite and major threat to the country.
Even if it succeeds, the benefits will not fall on me, a "living dead". It is just a dumb thing to do. Your Majesty is the one who governs the country well.
If you fail, you will just die and no one will care about you.
Emperor Shengde had calculated correctly that he would be like his father and would not gamble with the lives of the entire Shen family army or the lives of the common people of the world!
But what was unexpected was that Emperor Shengde actually dared to let his own daughter join the game and gamble with her life!
Chen Yu looked around carefully. Although he remembered the rules of operating the mechanism when she opened the stone door just now so that he could sneak in smoothly next time, this was still not enough.
Years of marching experience had accustomed him to always preparing at least one backup plan before any action, just in case. Therefore, he also needed to understand the terrain here.
With so many living people and giant iron cages gathered here, it would be difficult to transport the giant iron cages in with only this one entrance and exit.
But it's true, Hongxiu had been wandering around him and chattering non-stop, and he had indeed overlooked a lot of details.
Finally, there was a moment of silence. Chen Yu lowered his head and held his breath, listening intently. He only heard the faint sound of water dripping. The direction of the sound seemed to be -
ceiling!
The top is empty!
He was so engrossed that he had unknowingly reached the end of the passage. When he suddenly raised his head, he met a pair of black pupils as deep as dead water.
This woman is——
The woman who was being hunted in front of the ruined temple.
Unlike other women who were able to move freely in the iron cage, she was tied to a wooden cross with her left and right hands placed on both sides, and even her feet were tied up.
But what puzzled Chen Yu was that, whether in front of the ruined temple or now, the woman acted too calm.
"Master, Master, you walk too fast and don't even wait for me." Hongxiu followed him breathlessly in small steps. When she stopped in front of him, her cheeks were still flushed.
The moment the woman saw Chen Yu, her pupils shrank greatly, and her originally calm eyes were filled with shock, but after Hong Xiu's voice appeared, she suddenly regained her composure.
"I'm waiting." Chen Yu was distracted and half-heartedly flattered Hongxiu who came late. For a moment, he almost thought that he was dazzled.
"Hmph, that means there is no way forward." Hongxiu refused to give in, her face flushed as she waited for him to give her an explanation.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Whatever Miss Hongxiu says is what it is." Shen Yu spoke kindly, but his eyes never left the iron cage in front of him for a moment.
By the way, didn’t Xiaojiu rush into Handanfang regardless of anything just to save this girl?
Is she so sure that this girl is a friend and not an enemy?
But what did that look of the girl just now mean?
She wasn't even afraid of being caught in such a cruel place, so how could she look at me like that?
If it wasn't fear, then it should be - shock!
Could it be that—
Did this girl know me before?
The state funeral that His Majesty held for him was so grand, and after Xiaojiu's disturbance, the entire Shengdu should now know that he had really sacrificed himself.
If this girl already knew me, and I now appeared before her alive, it would be strange if she wasn't shocked. But I really didn't have any impression of her.
At this moment, in the underground gambling city of Shicha, ten miles away, the fox-masked woman was hit on the cheek by a wooden ruler, and her fox mask was also tilted.
She straightened her mask, then crawled to the feet of the man in the main seat, grabbed the corner of his clothes and said:
"Nahe Lianzhu of the Moon Nation has been urging you, my lord, to surrender your blood slaves. I am also worried and confused. I really don't know who she is..."
Before the fox-faced woman could finish her words, the man sitting in the main seat grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it to the ground. He then said solemnly, "Kneel down!"
The fox-faced woman had no choice but to kneel down on the broken porcelain. The blood from her knees soaked the porcelain chips around her red, but she endured it without saying a word.
A deep male voice sounded slowly and steadily, sounding majestic without even being angry:
"Mei Niang, how long have you been with me?"
The fox-faced woman said with difficulty, "My Lord, it has been more than six years."
The man in the main seat turned the bone ring on his middle finger and said quietly:
"I thought your temper had become more stable over the years."
"It is my incompetence. I accept the punishment." The fox-faced woman felt her body gradually heating up, and red lines began to appear from the corners of her fox-like eyes.
"Hmm? How's the punishment?" The man in the main seat spoke in a very slow tone, and one couldn't hear his anger, but one couldn't help but feel the hairs on his head stand on end.
"My subordinate... my subordinate doesn't know." The red lines on the fox-faced woman's white robe gradually became denser, and even her internal organs slowly became hot.
"What does that expression mean?" The man in the main seat leaned over, lifted her chin, and asked, "You think that because you're one of the rare 70% bloodline survivors, your life is very valuable, right?"
The fox-faced woman spoke tremblingly, "I...I dare not."
"Don't you dare?" The man in the main seat expressionlessly tossed her head aside, leaning back on the gold-embroidered violet cushion, and sneered, "I think you're quite daring."
The fox-faced woman endured the excruciating pain of her internal organs swollen and blood flowing backwards, and said with tears in her eyes:
"This world, this throne, should belong to the capable. It should be yours! My Lord has endured hardships for nearly ten years. Why should you be afraid of that old man Xirang?"
"You haven't learned anything in these years, but you've learned to act on your own!" The man in the main seat was furious and shouted:
"Who is Xirang? He's a veteran of two dynasties! Although he never formed cliques, he alone represents the will of the people! Even the emperor has to respect him. And you actually captured his only daughter. Are you really afraid that others will not know what we are plotting?"
The fox-faced woman had been kneeling for too long, and the wounds on her knees from the broken porcelain had become ulcerated and were now oozing pus. She swallowed the pain that was mingling inside and out, and said sincerely:
"Please give me one more chance! Why not go all out and have her fuse the blood pills? If it works, it will be a great help in your efforts to contain this important minister; if not, I will definitely deal with it. I recently sent people to capture these women, and all the assassins were equipped with chain crossbows. Besides hidden weapons, the Shadow Capital Guards are best at using chain crossbows. Therefore, even if Lord Xi discovered his daughter's body, he would only think it was the work of the Shadow Capital Guards. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone and naturally alienate Lord Xi from that bastard emperor."
The man in the main seat raised his head, closed his eyes, exhaled quietly, and said, "Remember, this is the last time!"

The author has something to say: ps——
Maybe everyone is confused, so let me explain. The setting of the power of the blood pill is equivalent to the ultimate move in the game. As everyone knows, the ultimate move has its limitations and cannot be used whenever you want, so this resonance comes out. What can resonance do? What is written so far is to control the blood survivors, unlock their abilities and improve your own abilities at the same time. At present, these in Handanfang are games for the powerful circle, which is equivalent to letting these low-level women who have little say act as bodyguards, nannies and toys! [Crack][Crack][Crack]
It's really insane!
