Chapter 106 Still Holding Hope for the World
Mu Jianjian's pupils widened slightly, as if someone were pounding heavily on her heart.
However, no matter how she tried to communicate, the other party remained silent.
After being awakened, the surroundings became bright again, and Mu Jianjian quickly opened her eyes and looked around.
As she expected, she opened her eyes to find herself in the dark prison of Yingzhou.
She knew perfectly well that the longer she stayed in the illusion, the more dangerous it would be in reality.
Yet, emotionally, I desperately want to get involved and understand everything that happened to the original owner.
Footsteps gradually echoed outside the cell made of dark, mysterious stone. Mu Jianjian slowly touched her right pupil and saw a golden thread pass through the gap and fall into the distance.
Even without cultivation, does the pupil technique still exist?
Fortunately, I had previously trained my mental strength in the Tree Spirit Clan.
She tried to mobilize the surrounding internal energy and gently moved from the solitary confinement cell to the outside.
The price is like a drowning fish gasping for breath.
Mu Jianjian lowered her eyes, listening to the loud shouts of "She escaped!" coming from the cell. She was moved from the underground dark cell to a secluded corner of the mansion, as far away as possible, and felt the long-lost sunshine and warm breeze on her body.
She could escape using her pupil technique, but what would the original owner experience in the murderous prison?
Ironically, she was unknowingly "sold out" to Yingzhou by the self-proclaimed righteous disciples who were participating in the war. Her enemies and relatives all left her, and all that awaited her was pain and torment.
"She's here! This woman is extremely important, capture her alive!"
A booming voice, followed by a dense chorus of footsteps.
Mu Jianjian looked back at the person chasing after her, touched her aching head with her left hand and knocked it hard, while her right hand had already taken off the hairpin, her eyes fierce.
Without the support of internal energy, the pupil technique cannot move very far. In any case, there is no way to escape within this huge mansion with white walls and black tiles. As for those with low cultivation, fight if you can.
The man in the lead felt smug when he saw that the woman seemed to be frozen in fear.
Although we don't know how this woman escaped, as long as we capture her alive, Lord Linghu will surely reward us handsomely. At that time, countless top-grade pills will be within our grasp.
Before he could even react, the woman appeared behind him, her rusty hairpin slicing across his neck, tearing open his skin and creating a deep gash.
The man clutched his neck, about to retaliate, but his right hand grasped empty air. Upon closer inspection, he saw the woman standing upright on a roof beam not far away, her face frighteningly calm.
This woman clearly has no true energy, so how could she move behind him out of thin air?
If what she had was any sharper, she probably would have been... long ago!
Mu Jianjian complained about her poor physical condition, as waves of bloating and pain washed over her. She bit her lip, using the pain to stimulate her nerves in order to prevent herself from suddenly fainting.
This hairpin is too dull; even with maximum force, it seems to have only broken the other person's skin.
She should have grabbed a handy weapon when she escaped from the underground cell.
"The next cut won't just break the skin; I'll take your life." Seeing the men on the stone path frightened by her, Mu Jianjian smiled villainously, brushed her hair aside, and looked nonchalant.
You may be afraid, but you must not lose your fighting spirit!
As long as you give full play to your acting skills, you can—
"You want my life? Whose life do you want?" A deep male voice swept past Mu Jianjian, and she turned around instantly.
The man wore a dark purple brocade python robe with a striped wide belt around his waist. His gray-black hair hung down his body like ribbons, and his eyes, one black and one gray, were below his eyebrows. His face was as handsome as jade.
A black and red snake, as thick as an arm, was coiled around the other person's fair and slender neck.
Linghu Zhuoyu and... Xiaohua.
Mu Jianjian gasped.
This is Yingzhou... Linghu Zhuoyu's residence?
The handsome young man in her memory, who wore a veil and called her "sister" in a gentle voice, had long since grown to eight feet five inches tall, looking down at her with cold indifference in his eyes.
Danger rose in Mu Jianjian's heart. She subconsciously used her pupil technique to teleport to the eaves of the house, watching helplessly as the mist that had just risen from beneath her feet corroded everything.
If I had waited any longer, my feet might have been ruined by the poison!
"What kind of secret technique is this?" Linghu Zhuoyu raised an eyebrow, revealing a surprised smile, as if marveling at the woman's reaction speed. He poked the little flower, "I've never seen this before."
They still like to add an "eh" at the end of their sentences.
Mu Jianjian thought helplessly.
The aftereffects of the pupil technique struck her; she gripped the hairpin and forcefully plunged it into her thigh, using the pain to regain her clarity.
"Lord Linghu! She is Mu Jianjian, who was captured by the disciples of Duyunfang!" The leading man, clutching his neck where Mu Jianjian had stabbed him, pointed at the woman with his other hand and shouted.
"Did I give you permission to speak?" Linghu Zhuoyu glanced impatiently at the man under the eaves, his smile vanishing upon seeing the bloodstains on his body. "Duan Yuechi doesn't tolerate idlers, Xiao Hua."
In the blink of an eye, the little flower instantly grew larger and stretched out towards the man who had spoken, swallowing him whole in one gulp.
"Awoo awoo—"
There wasn't even a sound of chewing; Mu Jianjian could even hear the man screaming and begging for mercy inside. A once vibrant person had vanished from the world.
Ahhh!
How could Little Flower eat a living person!
So brutal!
Mu Jianjian looked at the person who suddenly didn't dare to utter a sound, and touched her trembling little heart.
Waaaaah, the soft and adorable Yu Yu is just as ruthless in the storyline as described in the original book!
"What? After Baili Mochen took you away, you learned other things?" Linghu Zhuoyu refocused his attention on the woman in front of him. He pinched his fingers in the air, and arrays with hidden rune marks appeared under the woman's feet. "Why can't you stay far away? Or do you want to kill me for revenge?"
Mu Jianjian felt her body slipping out of control again, as if she was about to be controlled by the original owner's memories once more.
She anxiously thought to herself, "Mu Jianjian! Don't you want to try another possibility?"
"No! You must fully experience the pain and hatred I suffered, otherwise how can you understand and empathize?" The woman's voice was firm, seemingly with a sense of vengeful pleasure. "When Linghu Zhuoyu tortured me, it hurt so much. I remember it all clearly. But it would hurt you even more, wouldn't it?"
"But the fact that you pulled me into this illusion and made me experience all of this shows that you still have hope for the world, doesn't it?" Mu Jianjian's voice was tinged with pain that wasn't hers. "You're trapped in this inner demon. It's time to look at the rest of the world and let yourself go!"
