Chapter 160 Pulling Down the Abyss
Xu Chuchu slept very deeply. When she woke up, it was already dawn, but her head was still dizzy.
He knocked his dull aching head, quickly washed his face to wake himself up, and pushed the door open to go out.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Xiao Yu standing in the yard admiring the flowers, and I felt relieved instantly.
"Good morning." She called out with a smile.
"Awake?" Xiao Yu turned around and looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness. "It's late, it's almost noon."
"Ah, I don't know how I slept so soundly." Xu Chuchu smiled and tried to save face. She saw the dark circles under Xiao Yu's eyes and knew that he might have stood in the yard all night and all morning. She felt sorry for him again.
She walked around behind Xiao Yu, hugged him from behind, and then quickly let go.
"I think you're getting more and more naughty." Xiao Yu pinched her face, "Okay, go back and sit down. I saved breakfast for you."
"Good!" Xu Chuchu clapped happily.
If nothing else, she was genuinely happy to see Xiao Yu's mood hadn't been affected by what happened last night. His illness wouldn't heal overnight; it would take time. It didn't matter how slowly it took, as long as it worked.
Xiao Yu went to the small kitchen and brought back a tray full of breakfast. The food in the palace was indeed rich, with porridge and various snacks, which dazzled Xu Chuchu's eyes.
As she stuffed food into her mouth, she muttered, "Oh, right, I thought about it all night last night. It might not be useful to investigate this case only from the Queen's perspective."
"Oh? How do I check that?" Xiao Yu, who was sitting opposite, picked up a steamed dumpling as he spoke.
"We still have to look at it from the perspective of the Jade Cicada," Xu Chuchu said seriously. "You forgot, we first discovered that the entire palace was built in the shape of a Jade Cicada, and then we found that pool of water. The Queen just happened to drown there, it's definitely not a coincidence, it must be related to the group we encountered in Tailing and Wuchang Village..."
She was analyzing with great interest when she suddenly felt her whole body go limp, her hands lost strength, her chopsticks fell to the table with a clatter, and soon even her vision became blurred.
"Chu Chu?" Xiao Yu called out tentatively.
"No, don't eat!" Xu Chuchu used up the last bit of her strength and overturned the dishes in front of her. "Any questions..."
Before she could finish her words, she lost consciousness and fell on the table.
The only thought before she fell into a coma was that it was all over, and she and Xiao Yu had been ambushed.
…
Xu Chuchu didn't know how long she had been unconscious. She felt dizzy and a little nauseous from time to time. She kept struggling and finally woke up.
She sat up suddenly, but felt a pain in her wrist, as if something was pulling it.
When I opened my eyes, all I saw was darkness.
But fortunately, I'm still alive.
She quickly calmed down. She wasn't sure who was going to attack her, but since her life was temporarily spared, it must still be useful. Everything would turn around.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! Are you next to us?" She immediately called out Xiao Yu's name, wanting to confirm his safety.
However, no one around responded to her.
She took a few deep breaths to allow her body functions to recover quickly, and found that her wrists were probably handcuffed. She blinked desperately to make sure that she was not blinded by the poison, but was just covered by a thick black cloth.
It’s okay, it doesn’t matter if she can’t see, she still has spiritual power, which is her second pair of eyes.
She tried to extend her spiritual power to explore the surrounding environment and people, but after holding it in for a long time, she found that she could not mobilize even a little bit of spiritual power, as if she was completely pressed down by a heavy piece of iron.
What's going on?!
"Chu Chu?" Xiao Yu's sleepy voice suddenly came from beside him, "Are you awake? Sorry, I fell asleep and didn't notice."
"Xiao Yu!" Xu Chuchu excitedly straightened up, looking around like a headless fly. "Where are you? Are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?"
She asked a lot of questions at once, but Xiao Yu didn't answer any of them.
"Your eyes are blindfolded." He said suddenly.
"Yes, my hands are also handcuffed. I can't lift them up and can't pull the cloth off." Xu Chuchu said anxiously.
She heard Xiao Yu's voice coming closer this time, and she stretched out her hand with difficulty in the direction where the voice came from, trying to get closer to him.
She didn't know if Xiao Yu could see her. She fumbled in the dark and finally held a warm and dry hand.
"Xiao Yu..." Holding this hand made her feel at ease.
The hand was warm and strong, proving that its owner was at least not seriously injured.
It doesn't matter if you're detained temporarily, as long as you don't suffer physical pain.
"Do you know why your eyes are covered?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked her.
"What?" Xu Chuchu was stunned. "I, I don't know."
A sense of foreboding suddenly ignited in her heart.
The hand holding hers was slowly withdrawn and placed on the back of her head.
"Because..." Xiao Yu slowly untied the black cloth covering her eyes, "I don't want you to see anyone other than me."
The black cloth was removed, and the strong light shone into Xu Chuchu's eyes, almost making her cry.
She didn't expect that it was broad daylight now, and she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, she would see a scene that she would never believe in her life.
Xiao Yu was wearing a neat and luxurious black shirt. He sat on a chair opposite her, leaning forward and looking at her with a half-smile.
There were several iron fences engraved with carvings between the two of them.
She was inside and Xiao Yu was outside.
"Is it a bit crowded?" He laughed. "Sorry, but this is the largest magic cage I could find."
Xu Chuchu slowly lowered her head and looked at herself. She had not known when she was wearing a soft and delicate silk robe. Her hands were handcuffed tightly on both sides of her body, and she was sitting diagonally in a huge iron cage.
Yes, she was locked up.
She was knocked unconscious by Xiao Yu and then locked up.
When she was knocked unconscious, countless possibilities flashed through her mind, who did it, what was the purpose...but this result was something she never expected.
Thinking about how she tried her best to remind Xiao Yu when she fainted, and how her first reaction after waking up was to confirm his safety... she felt like she was a complete joke.
She placed all her trust in such a bastard?
"You don't seem very angry?" Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with hope.
Xu Chuchu looked back at him and found that his eyes were no longer the obsidian color they used to be, but were stained with a deep dark red.
She knew that he had strayed into the devil's way.
But this doesn't mean she won't be angry. On the contrary, she is very angry. She is so angry that she wants to rush out and beat Xiao Yu's head off, and want to grab him by the collar and scold him from head to toe.
In the end, she held back. First, she was locked in a magic cage and completely unable to use her spiritual power, like a disabled person. Second, she knew that it was meaningless to argue now and it would only make things worse.
"Tell me why, Xiao Yu." She asked calmly, "I already agreed to leave with you, agreed to marry you, and didn't look for anyone last night... So, why?"
Xiao Yu wasn't surprised she'd asked this question. "Is it strange that I'd do this? I've wanted to lock you up for a long time. Ever since I saw the Magic Cage at the casino auction, I've been fantasizing about you being trapped inside. It's just that now I've finally made up my mind to make it happen."
He stuck to the cage, looking at the imprisoned Xu Chuchu greedily, as if he was looking at a rare treasure in the world.
Xu Chuchu also looked back at him, hoping to see some panic, self-blame or guilt in his eyes, but she found none, absolutely none.
There was only excitement and satisfaction in those dark red eyes.
She finally realized that her arrogance in wanting to save the devil had failed her in becoming the devil's savior.
She was dragged into the abyss by the devil.
"I want you." Xiao Yu said suddenly, his Adam's apple rolling.
