Chapter 1715 – The Lady in the Sword Prison’s Core Level
Moving alone in the darkness, Qin Yu could clearly feel the gazes of the Sword Demons around him. They were filled with violence and gluttony. As if they were going to tear him to pieces at the speed of lightning in the next moment.
He would be lying if he said that he was not afraid. However, Qin Yu still decided to take this step because he trusted Rourou wholeheartedly. Apart from this, there was another important reason. The moment he saw that hole, there was a particularly strong thought that surfaced in his mind – ‘I have to enter this hole!’
Low growls were constantly emitted from the darkness and Qin Yu’s face paled bit by bit. However, it was not because he was completely surrounded by Sword Demons.
Amongst the thick moss, that hole was filled with darkness and it looked like a huge gaping mouth waiting for prey to walk in it of its own accord.
He could not suppress the fear he was feeling. It crept up from the depths of his heart and rushed fiercely at Qin Yu’s mind, and he was even starting to hear things.
“Escape! Quick, escape!”
“Leave this place and stay as far away as you can!”
“If you continue moving forward, there is only death waiting for you!”
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Qin Yu’s forehead. He exhaled slowly and stopped in his tracks.
Raising his head to look at the hole in front of him, a gloomy expression formed in his eyes as conflicting feelings tumbled about in his heart.
……
Opening Heavens Sword Sect.
At the open-air table not too far away from the stone steps.
A shrill laughter could be heard, full of pure delight. “Older sister, it seems like I am going to win.” That beautiful hand held onto Rourou’s left hand and touched it for a bit before moving to her right hand. Then, she sighed frustratedly, “Both arms are so good, which should I choose? What a difficult decision!”
Without a sound, Rourou grabbed that beautiful hand, “Isn’t it too early to have a difficult time over this now?”
“Older sister, are you thinking of going back on your word?”
“Of course not, I just don’t want to see you go back on your deal.” Rourou was expressionless, but her eyes turned gold. “You should know what my temper is like. No one has ever managed to escape the debts they’ve owed me.”
That beautiful hand grabbed tightly onto Rourou’s left hand, “Older sister, rest assured. I have always been true to my words.”
Moments passed by slowly.
Rourou suddenly raised her head as she pulled that beautiful hand towards herself, “You’ve lost.”
Opposite her, there was only empty space and no bodily figure that could be seen. There was only this hand that was severed three inches from the wrist, revealing a section of delicate, pale and supple skin.
The air in front of Rourou shook and a voice could be heard, “Since I’ve agreed to the bet, I’m willing to admit defeat…” The annoyed and helpless voice abruptly stopped. The surface of the hand that Rourou was grabbing onto started to crack, and countless crimson tentacles shot out from the flesh. It wrapped around Rourou’s arm and extended upwards.
“Hmph!” Rourou snorted.
The stone table between them instantly turned to ashes as terrifying energy surged in the air. Nothing was left intact within a hundred foot radius.
Rourou’s golden-colored eyes burst with light, as if they had been lit with golden flames. Incomparably fierce, majestic, and imposing aura flowed out of Rourou’s body. The Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s activated sword array started to rumble loudly at this moment, as if it was being impacted by a sudden explosive aura from the inside!
The tentacles that shot out of the broken hand retracted quickly as if they had been electrocuted. The wounds on its surface healed and disappeared and even the bloodstains left behind were quickly absorbed. In the blink of an eye, this hand restored its original, beautiful appearance, without any signs of it ever being ghastly.
“Older sister, don’t be angry. I was just being reckless and acted out of frustration. Be magnanimous and do not blame me. I promise that I will not do that anymore; please give me a chance, I am willing to do anything.”
Rourou lowered her head and her golden-colored eyes looked at the broken hand. Its white and delicate skin looked like it was exposed to high temperatures as it quickly reddened and burnt black marks started to appear.
Painful cries sounded. “Eek! Ouch! Ah!” If it were someone else who heard this, they would not have been able to bear it any further. However, Rourou’s expression did not change at all. Instead, her eyes became even colder.
The flesh started to crack from the inside and the black marks spread rapidly. The rot spread deeper and deeper until white bone could almost be seen. The painful cries finally had some anxiety to them, “Older sister, do you really have to be so cruel? I know I’ve made a mistake, give me another chance; I won’t dare to do it ever again!”
“Hmph!” Rourou snorted once again. She opened her eyes and the golden color had already disappeared. The Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s array stopped rumbling, and steadily, peace was restored.
“Words are useless. Sign a contract.”
“Older sister, I really admit my mistakes. About the contract, let’s not…sign, I’ll sign it right now!” When she saw the golden color resurfacing in Rourou’s eyes, the severed hand instantly changed its mind.
A drop of golden blood flowed out from the severed hand and its voice immediately turned weak, “Older sister, now you’re satisfied, right?”
Rourou opened her mouth to swallow that drop of golden blood before letting go of the hand, “You can go back now.”
“Older sister…” Her voice sounded pitiful.
Rourou’s expression turned cold, “If you fulfill your end of the promise, I can assure you that your freedom will be returned to you within a hundred years.”
“Thank you, older sister!”
Buzz –
The space trembled and then the severed hand disappeared.
Rourou picked up the tea cup and quietly took a sip. She slammed it down on the table with a ‘pa’ sound. Painful wails rang out once again. The severed hand that previously left resurfaced once again in the air. ‘Pa-da!’ It fell to the ground.
Its skin began to rot, revealing red flesh underneath. A thin tentacle shot out from it and tried its best to heal the wound.
“Older sister, I just wanted to say a few more words to you, I don’t have any other intentions!”ƒ𝑟𝑒𝙚𝚠e𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃𝑒𝚕. c𝒐𝒎
Rourou waved her hands, “I don’t want to hear it.”
The severed hand was directly slapped away and was sent crashing into empty space, completely disappearing.
This time, it really left.
Rourou grumbled softly, the corners of her mouth stained with fresh blood. Specks of gold could be found in this drop of blood. She frowned as she raised her hand to wipe her mouth. Then, with one finger, she pointed at the empty space in front of her and terrifying energy exploded in the small space around her, destroying everything.
This finger destroyed any lingering remnants of that severed hand’s aura. She also completely erased any signs of weakness that could be found in her body.
……
In the deep level of the Sword Prison, Qin Yu, who had been pondering the situation over and over again, started to move forward. This time, he looked extremely determined even though his face was very pale and appeared devoid of blood. Yet, he did not falter as he continued to advance.
Without stopping, he arrived outside the hole. Taking a deep breath, he put one leg forward and stepped into it.
Light suddenly filled his vision without any warning, piercing his eyes. No matter how determined he was, he could not help but groan as tears started to fall from his eyes.
Despite this, Qin Yu’s eyes were still wide open so as to not let his guard down in case of any sudden attack.
Fortunately, no danger came to him. He started to regain his vision that was previously blurred by tears. He raised his hand to wipe the tears away and his reddened eyes could finally see his surroundings clearly.
There was a woman who appeared in front of him…er, to be more accurate, it was an extremely beautiful lady who was dressed in a revealing manner.
As for how revealingly she was dressed, to put it simply, other than the vital parts of her body, everything else was exposed. And even those parts that were covered could be vaguely seen.
Qin Yu’s heart instantly started to race!
It did not matter whether he wanted his heart to race or not, it was his instincts that kicked in.
Additionally, now, he could finally see where all the light had come from…it came from this woman. She was so white, to the point that one could not see a single flaw on her because her whole body was glowing and radiating light.
“Qin Yu, you’re finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time already.”
Retreating one step backwards and taking a deep breath to calm his heart down, Qin Yu cupped his hands to greet the lady, “How does Senior know my name?”
He had just come in and almost blinded himself. Then, he saw this woman who was almost fully naked. All this sent his heart into overdrive.
It was only now that Qin Yu could be considered to have regained his composure – in the deep level of the Sword Prison, at its core layer, there was actually a lady!
And this lady obviously recognized him. This was simply incredulous!
The lady rolled her eyes, pouted her lips, and frowned, “What senior? The way you address me makes me sound old. I have known Rourou for many years and we are sisters. Sworn sisters. Before you came in just now, I already made a promise to her that I would make your wishes come true without letting you go through any difficulty.”
Then, she stretched her arm and pointed outwards, “I made a bet with Rourou when you were outside the hole, so I purposely tried to scare you. In the end, Qin Yu, you are truly rather courageous. You caused me to lose the bet.”
Raising her eyebrows, she continued, “However, I’ve always liked brave men the most. You are not bad.”
Qin Yu’s mind was in a mess. He was unable to determine if the lady was telling the truth or not. However, if she could appear at this place, it meant that her strength was unquestionable. If she was truly planning something, she could have directly made a move instead of wasting her saliva on making conversation with him.
Furthermore, this woman knew about Rourou’s existence. From the start, Rourou did not explain anything clearly to him and only asked him to enter the deep level of the Sword Prison…could it be that she wanted him to find this lady?
“My name is Feifei. Next time, you can just address me as Sister Feifei.” As she spoke, she looked at Qin Yu with some anticipation and shyness, “Rourou wanted you to come and find me. She was definitely embarrassed to tell you why, right?”
After some hesitation, Qin Yu nodded his head, “She did not explain this clearly to me.”
Feifei’s face reddened and she spoke coquettishly, “This Rourou wants me to say it myself? It’s too embarrassing!”
Qin Yu was speechless.
He suddenly felt like something was not quite right.
Coughing lightly, he said, “Why don’t you let me ask her first?”
Feifei waved her hand, “No need for that. It’s just something that happens between a man and a woman. I can look past it!”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at herself, “You see, I am the sealed item in the Sword Prison. For me to leave this place, you have to come here and do ‘that’ with me. Don’t ask me how to do ‘that’, otherwise I am really going to get angry!”
Qin Yu was instantly frozen on the spot!
Being stared at like that by a charming and pretty woman, who looked like she was too shy to speak…if he said that he was not moved at all, he would definitely be bragging.
Could this really be the case and be why Rourou did not explain anything clearly to him?
To get the sealed item, he had to do ‘that’...er, I guess I am forced to do this by my current situation, right?
Cough, cough, cough!
He choked on his own saliva and started to cough non-stop.
Qin Yu raised his hand to rub his face and laughed bitterly, “...Sister Feifei. Stop messing around, that’s impossible.”
Feifei blinked innocently at him, “Why is it impossible? I’ve been locked in here for so many years. If I have to suffer some losses to be released, it’s not a bad thing, I don’t object to it. Or, are you trying to say…” She looked down at Qin Yu’s crotch area, “You are unable to? Don’t be scared, I can help you!”
Qin Yu almost had a nosebleed. He retreated a few more steps and shook his head aggressively, “That’s not it. I just do not believe that Rourou would let me do this.”
He took a deep breath, “Sister Feifei, please stop messing around with me.”
