Chapter 440 Does he look like he's here to collect a debt?
Ruyi nervously advised, "Your Highness, this is no small matter. Let's think it over carefully before we act."
“Yes, that person died suspiciously. What if he was killed by a demon spirit…” Yan Jiu also emphasized.
He felt that this was indeed possible.
Xiao Tang tossed two talismans to them, saying, "Take these. If you're scared, stay away. I won't let anything happen to you."
Seeing how determined the princess was, they were momentarily at a loss for words to persuade her.
Such a dangerous thing...
Neither of them dared to back down.
Knowing that the maid and the guards couldn't make the decision, the jailer opened the cell door with trembling hands.
They had all heard about the eccentric young boy in prison, who was clutching a bottle and seemed almost insane.
Now all that's left is a pool of blood, a sight that is both heartbreaking and terrifying.
With the creaking sound of the cell door opening, Xiao Tang stepped closer to the pool of blood.
Ruyi and Yanjiu, standing outside the prison gate, both looked terrified.
Only Xiao Tang acted as if nothing had happened, and even squatted down to examine the pool of blood closely.
"Yeah, it's alright."
After watching it, she let out a soft sigh.
Xiao Tang got up and was about to leave when suddenly, a dark hand emerged from the pool of blood!
The arm that appeared as a shadow.
Ruyi and Yanjiu were so frightened that they screamed repeatedly.
This is something that you probably couldn't even imagine even if you racked your brains!
A black arm emerged from the blood, its nails sharp enough to pierce into a person's leg!
Ruyi: "Your Highness, quickly break this hand, hurry!"
That's terrifying!
Xiao Tang calmly nodded repeatedly, and suddenly a golden light appeared on her leg, causing the dark figure to pull its arm back.
She quickly pulled out two talismans from her bosom and threw them into the blood.
Slurp—
Suddenly, two golden flames burst forth from the talisman, instantly absorbing all the blood.
Screams echoed throughout the prison.
When Xiao Tang went out as if nothing had happened, she saw that Ruyi and Yan Jiu had very ugly expressions.
Especially Ruyi, whose pale face was filled with depression, rushed over and hugged Xiao Tang as soon as she saw her come out.
"Your Highness, you really took a huge risk! You scared me to death!"
Yan Jiu was also extremely shocked, but he did not forget to nod.
He also felt that what the princess had just done was too risky; if something went wrong... the prince would definitely be heartbroken.
Xiao Tang patted Ruyi's little head comfortingly, "What are you thinking about? What could be wrong with me? Okay, stop crying."
Ruyi cried with snot and tears streaming down her face. Only after hearing her words of comfort did she roughly wipe her face.
"Let's go back to the manor."
She walked ahead.
Yan Jiu was full of suspicion. By the time he came to his senses, the princess had already run far away.
He hurriedly caught up with her, "Your Highness, what exactly happened just now?"
"This boy was filled with resentment. After being devoured by the demonic spirit, he became one with it."
"That pool of blood was his trap."
"Anyone who goes in will be dragged in and eventually become food for the demon."
Xiao Tang's explanation left Ruyi feeling uneasy.
"Fortunately, the princess is alright."
"Of course I'm fine. If I were in trouble, I wouldn't have let the jailer open that cell door. If I had been discovered later, I'm not sure I could have subdued such a powerful demon."
"Yes, didn't the princess say before that the demon spirit that entered the bottle would either be purified or reduced to ashes? How could it still come out?"
Xiao Tang curled her lips, "That kid is quite skilled. He thought he could neutralize my talisman, but he didn't expect to be devoured instead."
She never expected that the boy would turn into blood so easily.
She didn't plan to tell Di Jingling about this.
Little did they know, the man had already received the news.
When he returned home, his face was tense.
He looked at Xiao Tang with a much more serious expression than usual.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Tang raised her small face and asked with a puzzled look, "Husband, what's wrong? Who owes you money?"
he:"……"
Does he look like he's here to collect a debt?
Di Jingling coldly swept his gaze toward Ruyi and Yanjiu outside the door.
The look in their eyes seemed to reproach them for doing something wrong and taking a risk with the princess.
Ruyi was so frightened that she shrank behind Yanjiu.
She peeked out cautiously, clearly frightened.
"Don't look at them. I'm the one who asked them to come with me. And if we don't deal with this person, do you know what the consequences might be?"
Xiao Tang opened her eyes and looked at him with her pure yet solemn beautiful eyes.
Di Jingling was not easily swayed by her gaze. He glanced at Yan Jiu and said, "Close the door."
Yan Jiu immediately closed the door.
Di Jingling pulled Xiao Tang into his arms. "Didn't you notice that these people from the Ten Thousand Demon Cave have been deliberately appearing in front of you time and time again?"
Xiao Tang blinked. "There weren't many, just the two of us."
She paused, then continued, "Speaking of which, didn't you say last time that Di Youming's biological father was in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave? Could it be...?"
Otherwise, why would these strange people keep popping up all of a sudden?
Xiao Tang felt increasingly uneasy.
Di Jingling frowned and denied it: "Impossible."
Emperor Youming's biological father would never do something so despicable.
Xiao Tang pinched her chin: "That might be a coincidence, right? After all, the last one was expelled from the sect, while this one is a less important disciple of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."
Di Jingling remained noncommittal.
The answer... is probably only known to that dead boy.
Xiao Tang grew increasingly annoyed, muttering to herself, "But speaking of which, are all the people in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave this eccentric? Are they all a bit mentally unstable?"
