Chapter 4: A Tour of the Prison Cell

  Leng Ruo Xue took out the 'Qian Kun Chui', and as soon as she entered the guest shop's room, she heard a small dispute outside the door.

  Outside the room, the servant blocked the steward of the castle lord's mansion and others who came to search.

  "I'm sorry, Master Zhu. It's not that I don't want to let you in, but the guest has given orders that they are in seclusion and do not permit anyone to disturb them." The servant explained, plucking up his courage.

  "Is it more important to close the door or find out what happened to my young mistress? Can't you tell which one is more pressing?" Zhu, the housekeeper, said loudly with his head held high.

  "Of course, the safety of the young master's daughter is important, but, Zhu Guanjia, to be honest, the guest in this room is not someone to be trifled with. If we were to offend the guest, I'm afraid... even the city lord himself might not be able to save you." The servant said mysteriously.

  "What kind of person is in the room? Is it a big shot from somewhere?" Zhu Guan heard the servant's words and also had some doubts, because he was certain that a small servant would not dare to deceive him. After all, he was the confidant of the city master, so he asked tentatively.

  "How dare I ask? I'm not tired of living, but, Master Zhu, the guest in this house has a terrible temper! So, I advise you not to force your way in, lest you disturb the guest's seclusion and can't bear the consequences. This is all my humble opinion, I'm only thinking of your well-being." The servant replied with a sincere face.

  "But if I don't go in and search, the lord of the city will blame me." Zhu's steward hesitated, wondering whether to enter or not. What if the people inside were really too powerful for him to mess with? In that case, he would be the unlucky one, and the lord of the city wouldn't risk offending those big shots just to protect him!

  "Butler-sama, if you don't say anything, how will the lord of the castle know?" The servant said in a low voice.

  "But I've brought my subordinates with me." Zhu said with a difficult expression, implying that he was afraid someone would betray him.

  "Master Zhu's household is second only to the City Master's in terms of authority, no one would dare betray you." The servant replied with a hint of flattery.

  "That's true, but I just can't let these brothers under me return empty-handed!" Zhu's face was full of difficulty.

  "Hehe, that makes sense." The servant said with a smile, then secretly handed Zhu's steward a purple gold coin, but in his heart he couldn't help but curse, bloodsucker!

  Zhu Guan's family looked at the purple gold coins in his hand and hummed! Although there were fewer of them, but even a little was still meat!

  "In that case, let's not disturb the guest's cultivation for now. We'll wait until the guest comes out and then confirm again." Zhu Guan said with a seemingly reasonable tone, and after finishing speaking, he led his subordinates to leave the second floor of the guest house in a grand manner.

  "Damn it! A group of vampires!" The waiter who was standing on the spot couldn't help but curse after Zhu's family left.

  "Come in." Cold Snow said at this time.

  "Yes." The waiter knocked politely on the door and then pushed it open and walked in.

  "What brings you here, miss?" The waiter asked with a respectful face after entering the room.

  "Are those people from the City Master's mansion just now?" asked Leng Ruoxue, knowing that Gu Xiang was asking.

  "Yes, it's Zhu Guan Jia from the City Lord's Manor who is leading the group." The servant explained.

  "What did they come for?" asked Leng Ruoxue, pretending to be confused.

  "It's said that she came looking for Young Master Qianjin. I heard that Young Master Qianjin was chased by a man." The servant replied truthfully.

  "This city master's daughter is quite open-minded." Leng Ruoxue sneered, this continent was also a world where the strong were respected, but for women, there were still many restrictions, so Zhu Mutan's behavior was absolutely shocking and unconventional.

  "Hmm, yes, she often takes advantage of her status as a master to do things that are detestable to both humans and gods." The servant said with great disdain.

  "Thanks for earlier, we really don't like to be disturbed." Leng Ruoxue said politely and handed the waiter a small tip of ten purple gold coins.

  "Uh, this is too much, I don't want it." The waiter said hastily, he had never met such a generous customer before!

  "This is what you deserve." said Leng Ruoxue, she was very satisfied with the waiter's performance just now.

  "Thank you, miss." The servant didn't stand on ceremony, took the purple gold coin and then turned around to leave the room.

  Leng Ruo Xue returned to the ring once again, but saw You Nie pouting and staring at her.

  "What's wrong?" asked Leng Ruoxue, pretending to be stupid.

  "You idiot, you actually left me alone and went out by yourself... Waaah..." The demon's black eyes were filled with tears as he spoke in a wronged tone, his expression like that of an abandoned puppy, both cute and pitiful.

  "Huh? Didn't I just go out for a bit and come back?" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly.

  "Hmph!" The demoness let out a cold snort, ignoring her, but on her face was clearly written 'What do you want to do? Ask for compensation.'

  "Alas!" Cold-as-Snow sighed, then abruptly wrapped her arms around the demon's neck, pulled down his head, and fiercely kissed him on the lips.

  "Is that it?" The demon said with great dissatisfaction.

  "Or what?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, her brow slightly furrowed.

  "Time is too short, no quality." The demon pouted and said with great dissatisfaction.

  “……”

  "It's inconvenient here." Leng Ruoxue said somewhat uncomfortably, that dead demon, doesn't he even care where this is? This is Old Man Gou's alchemy lab!

  "The old man is busy right now and has no time to bother with us." The demon's face was full of expectation.

  "That won't work either, let's owe it for now!" Leng Ruoxue said without giving him a chance to discuss.

  "It's okay if you owe me, but I'm going to charge interest." The demon thief smiled, looking very pleased with himself.

  "Alright." Cold-as-snow nodded reluctantly, and then the two of them turned their gaze back to the old man who was refining equipment.

  At this time, the old man's equipment was also nearing its end, but instead, he became tense, his eyes wide open, staring at the crucible without blinking.

  Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao were also staring at the furnace, because the item inside was in the molding stage. They were both very curious about what kind of equipment Lao Tou wanted to refine.

  After the furnace slowly took shape, the equipment that Lao Tzu refined finally revealed its true face. It turned out to be a female-style necklace, and it was heart-shaped. In the center of the necklace, a dazzling red gemstone was inlaid, which was extremely beautiful.

  After the final tempering was completed, this necklace finally came out...

  "Girl, how is it? Isn't it beautiful!" The old man looked at the necklace in his hand, and a delighted expression appeared on his withered face. His dream had finally come true.

  "Not bad, but what's the function of this necklace?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.

  "Guess!" The old man's face was full of mystery.

  "Defense?" Leng Ruoxue guessed, unexpectedly finding that Old Man Tuo was also playing dumb.

  "Not true."

  "Are you going to attack?" Leng Ruoxue guessed again.

  "Not true."

  "I didn't expect that." Leng Ruoxue said uncooperatively.

  "Haha, I knew you wouldn't guess it! Let me tell you, this necklace is a combination of attack and defense, and it also has the function of invisibility. How about that? Isn't it awesome?" said the old man with a proud face.

  "Hmm, the stealth function is pretty good." said Leng Ruo Xue in praise.

  "And, and, have you seen this hole? This is where the hidden weapons are stored. All of this was inspired by that ugly club." The old man pointed to a small, inconspicuous hole at the bottom of the pendant, speaking with pride. This equipment of his was also a sacred artifact, and it was much more beautiful than that broken club.

  "Not bad!" Cold-as-Snow praised, this old fellow's talent in refining equipment was quite high.

  "But you've crafted a necklace, who are you planning to give it to?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.

  "No one will send it, I'll use it myself," said the old man.

  "Huh? Use it yourself? You don't need a necklace, do you?" Cold-as-snow's absolutely beautiful face was full of question marks, she thought she had misheard!

  "Men can also wear necklaces." The old man said with disdain, alas! The person he wanted to give it to had long since passed away, so he could only use it himself.

  "Hmph, you use it yourself then!" Leng Ruo Xue was a bit speechless.

  "Hey, hey, right, little girl, what did you go out for just now?" The old man asked with a curious face.

  "Just now someone came from the city lord's mansion, I went out and took a look." Leng Ruo Xue explained.

  "Oh, nothing's wrong, is it?" The old man asked with concern.

  "There's nothing going on at the moment, everyone in the castle thinks Zhu Mudan has gone chasing after men." said Leng Ruoxue with a light smile.

  "Haha, looks like Miss Zhu has a lot of previous convictions!" The old man couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Alright old man, since it's already been refined, let's go!" said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Alright, let's go! Hehe, I'm going to show off in front of those old guys." The old man said with a somewhat smug tone.

  "What's so good about being white." The demon's face was full of disdain.

  "You don't understand this!" said the old man with a good temper.

  After leaving the old man's refining room, Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao directly returned to the Purple Bamboo House, while the old man went to find Leng Qing Tian and others to show off his latest achievement.

  "Xuě er, now there is no light bulb." As soon as he entered the purple bamboo house, the demon immediately wrapped Lěng Ruò Xuē in his arms, and his purpose was obvious.

  "There's someone outside!" said Leng Ruoxue intentionally.

  "Ugh... Xue'er, how can you be so lazy? They won't barge in here." The demoness pouted, complaining discontentedly.

  "But the ball will rush in!" Leng Ruoxue said with a sly smile.

  "I locked the door and won't let it in." The demon gritted his teeth, that detestable little thing had already ruined his plans for not the first time.

  "Haha!" Looking at the somewhat depressed demon, Cold-as-Snow's mood was great, and she directly pushed this unbelievably handsome man onto the bed, then pounced on top of him. Hmm, how did she increasingly have the potential to be a seductress? Always wanting to push the demon down... Uh, this habit needs to change...

  "Xu'er, come on! Do as you like." The demon lay on the bed without any resistance, his face full of expectation.

  "You...can't just do this, you have to resist a bit! This way...I'll feel accomplished and it's more fun!" Leng Ruoxue said with some dissatisfaction, heh heh, looking at the demon's cute appearance, she wanted to bully him properly, wu...she had actually become corrupted...

  "But others can't even get you to bully them, why do they want to resist?" The demon said with great grievance, and a hint of tears flashed in his bright black eyes.

  "But..."

  "Xue Er, hurry up!" The demon got a bit impatient and urged her on.

  "You demon, be more reserved!" Leng Ruoxue suggested.

  "I'd rather not!" The demon refused and directly sent his lips to Leng Ruo Xue's, alas! Xue Er hesitated and didn't act, so he had to take matters into his own hands. As the saying goes, one must take action themselves in order to be well-fed and warmly clothed!

  Goodbye.

  "Ugh, you little monster, stop it, I'm out of breath." Cold-as-Snow hastily said during a brief pause from the kissing.

  "That's perfect, I'll give you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation." The demon said with a sly and seductive smile, and once again kissed the cold, delicate, and tender lips of Xue Yu.

  "Huh, is sister giving brother CPR again?" Just as the two were stuck together in a complicated situation, a simple and curious voice rang out beside their ears.

  Leng Ruo Xue sat up from the demon's body, looking a bit disheveled. She gazed at the fluffy little thing in front of her and couldn't help but smile wryly. Alas, she had been right again - Qiu Qiu had indeed snuck in once more...

  "Yes, brother is always uncomfortable." Leng Ruo Xue said with a stiff upper lip.

  "Let's get Qiuqiu to help too!" Worry was written all over Qiuqiu's small, fluffy face.

  "Uh, never mind, I'm fine now." The demon said, hastily sitting up in bed.

  "Ball ball! What are you doing? Are you looking for sister for something?" Cold Snow strongly restrained her smile, and hugged the cute little Ball into her arms, asking.

  "Alas! Sister, when can Ballball advance in rank?" Ballball sighed and said with a worried expression... Everyone else has advanced, but it still hasn't changed.

  "Huh? Ball, how can you advance in rank?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity. Ball and BaoBao were different from other beasts, so she wasn't clear on what to do to promote their advancement.

  "I need to go treasure hunting, and the higher quality of treasures I find, the faster I'll be promoted." Qiuqiu said with a hint of distress.

  "Qiuqiu, don't worry, wait until sister's strength is higher, then we'll go on an adventure, and at that time, you can find many good treasures." Lan Ruo Xue comforted.

  "Hmm, sister, when are we leaving this place?" Ball asked curiously.

  "When Grandfather and the others finish cultivating the primary mystic technique, we'll leave." Leng Ruoxue explained, "It seems that Grandfather and the others will still need a few more days to cultivate all of the mystic techniques."

  "Heh heh, sister, I'm outta here! You keep giving brother CPR!" After chatting for a bit, Ball said with great consideration, then flapped her small wings and left the Purple Bamboo House.

  "This little thing is quite sensible." The demon said with satisfaction.

  "Monster, isn't it time for dinner?" asked Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Xue Er, I still need artificial respiration! Don't eat first." The demon said coquettishly.

  "But I'm hungry." Leng Ruo Xue rubbed her stomach and said.

  "Eat me! I'm delicious." The demonic Mochi said with self-recommendation.

  "Eating you won't even fill my stomach." Lan Ruoxue gave the demon a cold glance, then stood up, preparing to leave the Purple Bamboo House to find something to eat.

  "Xue Er, wait for me, I'll go with you." The demon hurriedly followed the organization, grabbed Leng Ruo Xue's hand, and the two left the Purple Bamboo House together.

  "Grandpa, what's for a snack later?" Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao found Leng Qing Tian and the others, asking.

  "Xue Er, you've come just in time. We were just discussing where to go out and eat!" Leng Qing Tian said as he saw his granddaughter.

  "What's for dinner outside?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity. Why were Grandfather and the others suddenly interested in food outside?

  "I don't know! We just want to go out and take a look, see if there's anything we haven't eaten before!" Leng Qingtian explained.

  "Oh!" After hearing Grandpa's words, Leng Ruoxue understood that these old men were bored and wanted to go out for a stroll.

  "Then let's go out together!" Leng Ruo Xue continued.

  "Haha, okay!" Leng Qingtian laughed happily and said.

  After a simple cleanup, Leng Ruo Xue and others left the room.

  "Miss, you'd better be careful when you go out. The City Lord's daughter hasn't been found yet! I heard the City Lord has already sealed off half of Windless City." As they walked into the inn's hall, they ran into that servant again.

  "Thank you, we will be careful," said Leng Ruoxue.

  After a few people left the hotel, they followed the street where the hotel was located and arrived at an adjacent street.

  "Grandfather, I heard that Yuzhuxuan is the best restaurant in Windless City. Why don't we go take a look?" suggested Leng Ruoxue.

  "Good." Everyone nodded and then they all walked into the Jade Bamboo Pavilion on this street.

  "How many are there? Is it your first time at our Jade Bamboo Pavilion? What would you like to eat?" Cold Snow and the others walked into the restaurant, deliberately choosing a window seat. As soon as they sat down, a waiter hurried over and greeted them warmly.

  "Bring out your signature dishes!" said Leng Ruoxue after a moment of thought.

  "Alright! You wait a moment." The waiter heard what Leng Ruoxue said and turned around to leave.

  After a while, the waiter brought several steaming dishes back to their table.

  "This is one of our signature dishes in the store, please enjoy slowly." The waiter said very respectfully and left after finishing speaking.

  "Grandfather, let's hurry up and try some!" Leng Ruoxue urged, this should be the first time they've eaten outside since arriving on the Great Continent of Haotian.

  "It looks pretty good." Leng Qing Tian said, eyeing the several dishes on the table.

  "You'll know once you try it." Leng Ruoxue said, to be honest, she wasn't very interested in the food outside now, but in order not to dampen Grandfather and everyone's enthusiasm, so she was the first to pick up her chopsticks, took a piece of roasted meat, and put it in her mouth.

  "The taste is okay, but the quality of the ingredients isn't very good." The old man said after taking a bite and finishing his meal.

  "Obviously, isn't it? Do you still need to say it?" The old man said disdainfully.

  "You old dead man, if you don't speak up, nobody will think you're mute." The old man growled in a low voice.

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at the two old men who were like fighting cocks, and helplessly opened his mouth to say: "When eating, why do you guys have to quarrel endlessly?"

  "Just eat quietly. " Leng Qingtian's face turned stern, his eyes narrowed, and the two old men immediately shut their mouths obediently.

  At this time, a young woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rushed to their table, tearfully begging: "Good people, please save me! Waaah..."

  But nobody paid attention to her...

  "Would someone please save me! I'll be your horse or cow and repay you!" the woman said, not giving up.

  "What's going on here?" Cold Snow was somewhat displeased, and had the waiter called to her side, questioning him.

  "Ah, sorry everyone, I'll let her leave now." The waiter said hastily.

  "You'd better leave quickly, this isn't a place you can come to." The waiter said with a displeased face as he pulled the woman up.

  "Have pity on me! Save me, you can't just stand by and do nothing!" The woman cried out, her beautiful face already covered in tears.

  Can't you see that she's dying? After hearing the woman's words, Leng Ruoxue finally gave her a once-over with her eyes. The woman was probably seventeen or eighteen years old, with outstanding looks and an elegant demeanor. Her figure was tall and slender, yet curvaceous and alluring. A pair of beautiful eyes, shining brightly with a hint of shyness, were secretly gazing at the demon... Her delicate lips were as enticing as fresh rose petals.

  To sum it up, this woman has a delicate and weak appearance that would make any man want to cherish her. Unfortunately, she has found the wrong people, as none of them know how to appreciate a beauty. Moreover, she is a beauty with ulterior motives.

  "Poor you? Who's poor now?" The old man glared at the woman with disdain, saying, "Tsk, such a clumsy performance, and yet she dares to show off in front of them. She can't even deceive me, let alone those few sharp people. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

  “……”

  The young woman was stunned, um, why wasn't it the same as what she thought?

  "I'm just a weak woman, you have so many people, where is my misery?" The woman also didn't know which nerve was wrong and actually compared her misery with theirs.

  "It's precisely because there are too many people that it's pitiful! We're so poor we can't even make a living for ourselves." The old man said, even exaggeratedly wiping away tears.

  The young woman was speechless. No money? How dare you come here to eat without money, do you know that this is the most expensive restaurant in Windless City?

  "Or you can take pity on us and help pay for our meal!" The old man added, unusually not arguing with the old fellow.

  The waiter, who had been pulling the woman along, was twitching at the corner of his mouth and almost fainted. Alas... these people wouldn't really have no money, would they? He had served them the most expensive dishes in the restaurant, if they really couldn't pay for their meal, he would be out of luck.

  "If I help you pay for the meal, can you guys save me?" The woman thought for a moment before speaking up.

  "You can afford to pay for such expensive food, do you still need us poor people to save you? It's really hilarious, haha." The old man burst out laughing with a loud guffaw, humph! Finally showing his true face!

  "This... I have another difficulty, since you are short of money, I'll pay you the money, can you help me? Is that okay?" The beautiful woman's face was full of expectation, her affectionate eyes staring at the demon without restraint. Originally, she wanted to pretend to be pitiful and win sympathy, but unexpectedly, these people not only had no sympathetic heart, but were also all poor devils. Alas! Although somewhat disappointed, as long as she could achieve her goal, she was willing to accept it.

  "No way, why should we help you? We don't even know you." The old man refused without hesitation.

  "My name is Zhu Furan, and my father is the lord of Windless City." The woman introduced herself.

  "Oh, so it's the young master of the city again!" The old man suddenly realized, this is too coincidental, last time the girl and her group came out and met a young master of the city, this time they actually met another one.

  The servant who had been holding onto the woman immediately let go of her hand, rolled his eyes and kicked his legs, and fainted on the spot when he heard that she was the daughter of the city master.

  Unexpectedly, the power of the city master's thousand gold was so great that it even fainted another one. Cold as Snow looked at the fainted servant and laughed wildly in her heart.

  "Yes, you've helped me a lot." The woman, who was Zhu Furen, changed her pitiful expression from earlier and said with some arrogance.

  "You, a city lord with thousands of gold coins, can't even solve this problem, how could we ordinary commoners possibly help you?" The old man said indifferently.

  "You can, you're the only one who can help me." Zhu Furen said very firmly.

  "Oh, then tell me about it." The old man said with some curiosity.

  "It's like this, my father has arranged a marriage for me..." Zhu Furen glanced at the demon and paused.

  "Oh, congratulations, this is a huge joy!" The old man said with apparent sincerity.

  "My dad actually wants me to marry an old man over eighty years old, what kind of happy event is this?" Zhu Furen shouted angrily.

  "Eighty is still young!" The old man said very fairly. For cultivators, eighty years old really isn't considered old at all.

  "Then I won't get married either, whoever wants to get married can get married." Zhu Furen shouted, her beautiful face distorted with anger.

  "Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, you must listen!" The old man patiently and kindly advised.

  "Then I won't get married either. If I must, then I should marry someone as young and handsome as him!" Zhu Furen said with a smile, pointing at the demon.

  "Hmm, so it's the man who has a crush on their young daughter after all! This won't do! The old man muttered to himself, he really couldn't understand why the young ladies of the city lord's mansion were all so promiscuous. They've all set their sights on Ye Xiaozi, sigh! Ye Xiaozi is truly a troublemaker!"

  "Get out!" The demoness didn't even glance at the so-called young master of the castle, shouting directly. This dead fly was really annoying to death.

  "You... you dare to treat me like this? Don't you know who's the greatest in Windless City?" Zhu Furen angrily retorted.

  "I don't care who's the biggest, get out, disappear in front of me quickly, otherwise, I won't guarantee that I won't hit a woman." The demoness threatened.

  "You... you will regret it, sooner or later, you will come back to beg me." Zhu Furen said angrily and indignantly, then turned around and left with a huff.

  "Keep a close eye on them for me!" Zhu Ju Xiang said to herself after leaving Yu Zhu Xuan.

  Although there was no one answering in the void, waves of fluctuations were transmitted.

  In the Jade Bamboo Pavilion, Cold-as-Snow and others finished their meal and immediately returned to the guest house.

  After returning to the guest house, everyone immediately rushed into the room and went straight to bed.

  "Xue Er, someone is following us." The demon said in the purple bamboo house.

  "Hmm, I suppose it's Zhu Furen's person." Leng Ruxue said calmly, she didn't take Zhu Furen seriously at all.

  "Xue Er, there are bad people who want to harm our family, you must protect me well!" The demon child took the opportunity to act coquettishly.

  "Mm, don't worry, I'll definitely protect you." Leng Ruoxue guaranteed in a very cooperative manner.

  "I'm completely counting on you!" The demon's lips curled up with a hint of a smile as he spoke with deep feeling.

  "Grandfather, with me here, you can rest assured!" Leng Ruoxue gently lifted the demon's chin with her index finger, imitating Dengtuzi's mannerisms, and teased.

  "With you here, I feel so safe." The demon's dark and shiny eyes started sparkling again...

  "Haha, grandpa, it's getting late, let's go to bed early!" said Leng Ruoxue with a light smile after they had played enough.

  "Hmm, girl, I've been feeling a bit sleepy for some time now." The demon yawned and said.

  "Girl, I'll keep you warm!" The demon lay on the purple jade bed, infinitely charming and seductive.

  "Grandfather, it's not necessary to warm this place up." Cold as snow, the white demon gave him a glance, somewhat helplessly saying, "You damned demon, can't you stop tempting people like that?!" She couldn't help but silently scream in her heart, "Don't seduce me anymore, waaah..."

  "Then you have to let me hold you too." The demon's long arm stretched out, directly pulling Leng Ruo Xue into his embrace, holding her tightly.

  "Sleep tight!" said Leng Ruoxue, and then closed her eyes.

  "Xu'er, goodnight!" The demon gently kissed the pink lips of Leng Ruo Xue and whispered softly, after which he also closed his eyes to sleep...

  The next morning, Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao woke up, had breakfast, then left the inn to look for that servant.

  "Miss, are you looking for me?" The waiter stood respectfully in front of Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jiao in the hotel lobby.

  "Hmm, there's something I want to ask you." Leng Ruoxue said.

  "What's up? As long as I know about it, I'll tell you everything." The servant replied very readily.

  "Alright, I want to know about Zhu Furen's situation." Leng Ruo Xue said straightforwardly. She had just discussed it with Grandfather and the others, and felt that it was better for everyone to be aware of each other's business. So, she and Yao Jiao came to ask the servant about the situation early in the morning.

  "Huh? Why did you ask about her?" The waiter asked somewhat puzzled.

  "We met her when we went out yesterday, she wanted us to help her, but we refused." Leng Ruo Xue explained simply.

  "It's all over, you're done for. That Zhu Furen will not let you off the hook." The servant said with great concern. Although the city master had no son, he had five daughters, and none of them were anything good. Zhu Mudan was lustful, specializing in bullying women and men. Zhu Furen was vengeful, and anyone who offended her would end up extremely miserable. Zhu Lianrong was cruel and ruthless, tormenting people without even blinking an eye. And the other two daughters, although still underage, were also extremely arrogant and lawless.

  "Miss, you'd better leave this place quickly!" The waiter said to Leng Ruo Xue after telling her about the Zhu family's situation.

  "Why leave?" Leng Ruoxue was not a timid person, although she would never take the initiative to provoke trouble, but if trouble came knocking on her door, she would never hide.

  "It's them, take them away for me." The waiter hadn't even had time to respond when a extremely arrogant woman's voice sounded in their ears.

  Leng Ruo Xue, Yao Nie and that servant all simultaneously lifted their heads, looking towards the owner of the voice...

  It's all over, I didn't expect Zhu Furen to find us so quickly. When the waiter saw Zhu Furen arrive at their hotel with a group of people, his heart skipped a beat and he jumped up in fright. His eyes involuntarily turned towards Leng Ruxue and Yao Mo, those two are doomed! Alas...

  Leng Ruo Xue exchanged a glance with Yao Jie, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Hmm, you're quite fast!

  "Why are you arresting us? What crime have we committed?" asked Leng Ruoxue, her beautiful face filled with innocent and puzzled inquiry.

  "Theft! I've lost a valuable piece of jewelry," said Zhu Furen, looking extremely angry. Humph! Knowing they were staying at the inn, Zhu Furen didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly brought people over, fearing they would run away!

  "It's really strange, you lost your jewelry, what does it have to do with us?" Leng Ruo Xue said calmly and lightly, this was truly a lame excuse!

  "Hmm! I suspect that you two are the thieves, because after I left Yuzhu Xuan yesterday, the ornament disappeared and I only came into contact with you two, so the most suspicious ones are indeed you two." Zhu Furen said confidently.

  "Oh! Following your logic, if I lose something, can I also suspect you?" asked Leng Ruoxue with a calm tone.

  "Of course not, I am the young mistress of a prominent family, how could I do such a thing? But you are all poor wretches who can't even afford to pay for your meals, so you must have stolen my jewelry to pay for your food." Zhu Furen said with great certainty.

  "Miss Piggy, I really admire you, your imagination is so rich, such a reason can actually be thought of?" said Leng Ruoxue with an expression full of admiration.

  "Flattering me is useless, I won't let you off the hook and tolerate a thief who steals things." Zhu Furen said firmly.

  “……”

  Her face was as cold as snow, with a full line of black lines on her forehead, speechless. The understanding ability of this Zhu family sister is really surprising! She really wanted to cut open Zhu Furan's brain to see if it was all grass inside!

  "Miss Pig, are you going to determine our guilt based solely on your own conjecture?" asked Leng Ruoxue with great curiosity.

  "Of course not, I will make you convinced and willing to admit it." said Zhu Furen with unparalleled confidence.

  "Zhu Cai, go and search their rooms." Zhu Furen turned her head and instructed her subordinate.

  "Yes." A tall and handsome young man, after receiving the order, led a team of people to rush to the second floor.

  "Miss Zhu, you can't just barge into a guest's room like that!" The waiter blocked Zhu and the others, saying loudly.

  "Get out of here, we're looking for evidence. You, scram!" Zhu Furen kicked the servant away and shouted loudly.

  "Miss..." The waiter looked worried, looking at Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jie, his heart was anxious to the point of bursting into flames. It's all over, if they went upstairs, this miss would not be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River!

  However, Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Nie were calmly sitting at the table, sipping tea and eating snacks, without any sign of worry.

  "Miss, your jewelry has been found." Not long after, Zhu came down from the second floor with some people.

  "Hmph! What else can you say now?" Zhu Furen said with a pleased tone.

  "We don't have much to say, what do you want? Do as you please." Leng Ruoxue said indifferently. Anyway, these days are quite boring, since this woman wants to play, then she'll accompany this pig Furan to play for a while.

  "Bring these two people to me, and also take away those old men." Zhu Furen ordered her subordinates.

  "Miss, those old men are not in the room." Zhu replied.

  "Where is he? Tell me, where has your accomplice gone?" Zhu Furen loudly interrogated, those few old men were also quite detestable!

  "I don't know, I'm not familiar with them, we just happened to sit at the same table." Lan Ruoxue said calmly, raising an eyebrow slightly.

  "Hmph! Let's just say they ran fast, first take these two away." Zhu Furen ordered, but in her heart, she couldn't help but admire her own foresight. Fortunately, her speed was quick enough, otherwise, wouldn't these two have run away as well?

  "We don't need an escort, we can walk ourselves." said Leng Ruoxue cooperatively.

  "You'd better behave yourselves and stop playing tricks!" Zhu Furen warned.

  "Don't worry, we'll be good." said Leng Ruoxue, nodding obediently.

  As Zhu Fang Rong left the inn with the others, Leng Ru Xue and Yao Niang were taken by her to the prison cells of Wu Feng City.

  "Wait, you have to lock us up together." The demoniac looked at the two cells that had already been prepared and said with great dissatisfaction.

  "No way, I'm afraid you'll escape, so we have to lock you up separately." Zhū Fúróng said with some jealousy, damn it, does he really like her that much?

  "If you don't put us together, then forget about me confessing, and I'll also make sure everyone knows that the young master of the city lord's manor is bullying people with his power." The demoness threatened.

  "Alright, I'll lock you all up together then." Zhū Fúróng compromised, damn it, if you two refuse to confess and make a scene that everyone knows about, what can I use to threaten you with?!

  Leng Ruo Xue and Yao Jiao happily and swaggeringly walked into the prison cell, then casually closed the door behind them, ignoring Zhu Fu Rong.

  "Xue Er, this place is quite clean and we even have a single room, it's really great!" The demonically beautiful face had an enchanting smile on it as she said happily.

  "Hmm, it's much better than I imagined." said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Right, Zhu... Fú Róng, make sure to cook more delicious food for us at noon and night, it must have meat! I'm someone who can't be happy without meat." The demon lord ordered, basically treating Zhu Fú Róng like a shopkeeper.

  "Don't worry, I will definitely make the two of you satisfied." Zhu Furen gritted her teeth and said hatefully, after finishing speaking, she turned around and walked away with a huff.
