In an instant, the cat demon was shocked and tried to look up, but Song Tingwan pressed down on its furry head.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
The little cat demon furtively looked around before continuing to feign weakness, nestling in her arms and nuzzling her gratefully a couple of times.
"Thank you, sister." she said softly.
Soft and chewy.
Song Tingwan smiled silently. Fortunately, she had a habit of carrying medicine with her at all times.
"Sister, you are a cultivator. You will be taken to the cultivator sister I just mentioned later. They are planning to escape. You must go."
"Those who are captured must learn a set of techniques, and it takes forty-nine days to cultivate their bodies into a furnace."
"I was beaten like this because I didn't want to learn. I didn't want to be beaten."
Who would want that?
Song Tingwan's eyes turned cold.
After listening to its words, I looked around again.
Those who were beaten were all stubborn and unyielding, but there were also some people with tattered clothes and numb expressions who sat cross-legged and cultivated.
Seeing her pitying expression, the little cat demon touched her face with its paw. "Beautiful sister, you are more beautiful than many people here. Tonight you must join that cultivator sister's escape plan, otherwise... you will suffer a lot."
It doesn't look very old.
Cat-eyes stared at her with a mixture of heartache and lingering fear.
Song Tingwan covered her hand and asked softly, "Why?"
"The more beautiful the body of the furnace, the higher the auction price. That merman was male. He resisted fiercely at first, but after his scales were plucked and healed, he pretended to cooperate."
"pretend?"
The little cat demon nodded. "He's in cahoots with the cultivator sister."
Even when imprisoned, there are still many people who refuse to give up.
The little cat demon has only been here for seven days.
I don't know where this place is, but it was able to tell her so much, all thanks to its keen ears.
The little one nestled in her arms for a while, then fell asleep.
Perhaps it was because the embrace was so warm, her little belly rose and fell and she began to snore softly.
Song Tingwan tenderly pulled the kitten into her arms, covering it with her wide sleeves so that no one would notice the healed kitten.
night.
Sure enough, someone came over, dragged the cage, and pushed her next to the weak female cultivator.
"Be honest. See this person? If you cooperate, you can serve by the side of a powerful figure. If you don't cooperate, this is what will happen to you."
"You should have a good understanding of things by now that you've been here for a day. Tomorrow, you will come out and start cultivating."
The steward sneered menacingly, patted the cage to warn Song Tingwan, and then turned and left without a care.
After all the managers left.
This place, which is usually filled with singing and dancing during the day, is eerily quiet.
Song Tingwan stroked the kitten in her arms, her eyes waiting calmly.
Only when the sobbing and cursing slowly reached them did the people listening outside leisurely leave.
It was at this time.
The person in the cage next to Song Tingwan suddenly stood up.
The other person, whose pink clothes were stained with blood, first sized up Song Tingwan.
Their eyes met.
Song Tingwan paused in stroking the cat.
"You're new here? Foundation Establishment stage... It's hard for you to join us, but don't worry, I will definitely rescue you all."
The other person was taken aback for a moment. After speaking to her, amidst the noisy crying, he sighed to the dying mermaid: "Meng Jiao, can you still hold on?"
The mermaid had an exquisitely beautiful face, and her golden-blue tail slapped lightly in the shallow water.
The man weakly opened his eyes. "Tonight...the operation."
The female cultivator paused for a moment, then looked up at the others around her. "Are you all ready?"
"Sure, if we can't escape, what's there to fear in death?"
"We cultivators would rather die than become furnaces."
"It's a pity that he didn't die to protect the cultivation world, but died in this filthy place."
"To forge a path for the remaining people to survive is also a form of protection."
Some people joked about it.
A group of beautiful men and women sat on the ground, feeling both relieved and passionate.
Song Tingwan listened for a while, but her gaze remained fixed on the pink-clad female cultivator beside her.
Those eyes look like someone's.
"Why are you staring at me?" Just then, the other person turned around and asked her, somewhat puzzled.
The little cat demon in Song Tingwan's arms suddenly jumped out, shook its fur, and looked longingly at the pink-clad female cultivator.
"Sister Tang, she saved me today, could you please take her with you?"
The character "棠" appeared.
Song Tingwan's breath hitched. As the other person frowned in thought, she spoke with certainty: "Wu Tang?"
The woman in pink, Wu Tang, asked in surprise, "You know me?"
Wu Ling's family has finally been found.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Song Tingwan smiled and shook her head, saying softly, "I know your brother. We are all looking for you and your mother."
Wu Tang was startled, and then, in her excitement, she was shocked by the electric shock from the iron cage. She asked with surprise and delight, "My brother! Is he still alive? Where has he been hiding all these years? My mother and I were so worried!"
"You'll know about these issues once we get out. Until then, could you tell me about the situation here?"
The most urgent thing is to escape.
There were quite a few people on the verge of death at the scene; every day that they suffered would bring countless more victims.
Song Tingwan spoke gently, yet with a calm and firm tone.
As Wu Tang composed herself, Meng Jiao, who was in the fish tank, slowly spoke: "This is the top-floor auction house at the summit of Yunque, where only cultivation furnaces are sold, and demand far exceeds supply."
The four words "the summit of the cloud palace" deeply moved Song Tingwan.
"The three venerable ones have tacitly approved?" She lowered her eyes, concealing all her emotions.
