Chapter 350
"do you hate me?"
Rong Hengyu asked.
Nalan Jingwen felt only irony. How could he ask this question so casually and without any restraint?
She opened her mouth, but her voice was hoarse.
"Get out."
Rong Hengyu didn't move, quietly watching her, as if he was waiting for an answer.
But it was pointless. Nalan Jingwen found it extremely boring. The face in front of her annoyed her, and she didn't want to look at it anymore. She closed her eyes and refused to answer.
Rong Hengyu was completely out of place in this filthy cage. In the past, she would never have wanted him to set foot in such a disgusting place. But the person she was so reluctant to let go of had stepped into this cage himself, making everything before seem like a joke.
She didn't know when Rong Hengyu left. She was now just a cripple, pain eroding all her nerves, and she was numb to everything around her. When she opened her eyes again, she was the only one left in this cage.
In the days that followed, Nalan Fengxing came most often. She seemed to really want to kill Nalan Jingwen, but for some reason she had to keep her alive. Every time she came, she would vent the anger she had suffered at Yuan's place on her, until she beat her to the point of near death before leaving.
But for some reason, she almost disappeared from the scene later on.
Yuan would also come, and each time she would tell Nalan Jingwen how far her plan had progressed. The last time she came, she came to tell Nalan Jingwen that she was going to start attacking Sushui.
"Mirror, the Nether Dragon is your protector, so why isn't he by your side? Why is he always guarding Nangong Shiyu's side? Could it be that you, as the chief god, have failed too much, and he has abandoned you as well?"
Nalan Jingwen remained silent, not uttering a single word.
Yuan smiled, his laughter sounding particularly abrupt in the silence.
"But he probably won't have time to save you, since he's too busy taking care of himself."
Nalan Jingwen remained silent, unmoved by her provocation.
Yuan suddenly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up at him. "Wait a little longer, wait a few more days, and I will come to keep you company with the corpse of the Nether Dragon."
Nalan Jingwen twitched the corners of his lips, revealing a provocative smile, "We'll see."
She knew Xue Qingheng's strength. Su Shui wouldn't be so easily breached by Yuan, especially since Yuan hadn't fully recovered yet. The people of the Divine Realm weren't useless either. Xue Qingheng had probably already sensed something and gone to the Divine Realm to find Xing Su and the others.
Yuan hated her appearance so much that he tightened his grip on her chin and dislocated it.
"Since you can't speak, then don't speak anymore."
After saying that, he turned and left.
This time, however, it happened very quickly. A commotion broke out outside, and Nalan Jing could not hear clearly. He could only vaguely hear the panicked voices of the crowd.
"It's gone!!"
"There are assassins!!"
The sounds of clashing weapons grew clearer, and a sliver of light suddenly appeared in the dark and silent prison, until a familiar voice was heard.
"Nalan Jingwen!"
Nalan Jingwen froze for a moment, as if he thought he had misheard. He slowly looked up and saw someone who shouldn't be there.
Pei Yunche frantically unlocked the prison gate and rushed in, intending to embrace her, but he stopped abruptly in front of her. His eyes were filled with tears, and he looked helplessly at her injuries. His fingertips trembled, and he dared not touch her.
"Nalan Jingwen, does it hurt?"
Pei Yunche couldn't stop the tears from flowing. He wanted to untie the iron chains on her hands and feet, but he didn't know where to start.
There wasn't a single unscathed spot on her body; it was covered in hideous, terrifying scars. How could she not be in pain?
Upon noticing that her jaw was dislocated, he was heartbroken and immediately and carefully put it back in place.
Seeing the heartache in his eyes, Nalan Jingwen opened her dry lips and asked, "How did you get in?"
Pei Yunche wiped away his tears and choked out, "Jingchi and Chenghe brought me in."
"Don't be afraid, I'll get you out of here right away."
"Mother and sister have stalled Nalan Fengxing. Don't be afraid, I will definitely be able to rescue you."
He tried to unlock the shackles, but found he couldn't break them no matter what he did. His lips trembled, and helpless tears streamed down his face. "I will get you out of here, I can definitely get you out of here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
He kept telling her not to be afraid, but it was unclear whether he was speaking to her or to himself.
"What should I do? What should I do? Why can't I open it?"
His voice grew increasingly frantic and urgent, tinged with tears, as he tried to smash it with a stone, but no matter how many times he struck, it remained firmly in place, without the slightest sign of loosening.
Nalan Jingwen wanted to touch him, but her hands were already useless, and she could only watch his helpless and frightened expression.
"Go back quickly, it's too dangerous."
Pei Yunche shook his head while crying, his hands continuing to move, as stubborn as ever.
"I won't leave. I'll stay wherever you are. I'd rather die with you."
"Believe me, I can definitely get you out of here, please believe me?"
This iron chain is made of black iron and cannot be opened by external force; it can only be opened with a key.
Nalan Jingwen looked at his appearance, her throat tightened, and she couldn't bear to look away. When she heard footsteps at the door again, she wanted Pei Yunche to leave quickly. But when she looked up, she saw Jingchi, dressed in black, standing outside the door. His long sword was stained with blood, and blood droplets were dripping down the blade to the ground.
When Jingchi saw Nalan Jingwen, his pupils shrank drastically, and his eyes instantly reddened. He took two steps forward and knelt down heavily, trying his best to suppress the trembling in his voice.
"Your subordinate... is late."
Pei Yunche disregarded everything else and immediately pulled up the mirror pool. "Quick, open this."
Jingchi's gaze fell on Nalan Jingwen's hands, which were almost unrecognizable. His Adam's apple bobbed several times as he reached out and took out the key from his pocket.
Nalan Jingwen was successfully released, and Jingchi wanted to take her away, but she stopped him.
"What about Qishan and Jinse?"
"Young Master Liu and the others are all settled for the time being. I will take you out first."
As he spoke, he was about to carry Nalan Jingwen on his back, but Nalan Jingwen shook his head, "You take Qishan and Jinse to Sushui to find Xue Qingheng."
Xue Qingheng will definitely be able to protect them. Only when Liu Qishan and Jinse are safe can she feel at ease.
Jingchi's eyes were red, and her clear blue pupils were bloodshot. "But you..."
“Pei Yunche will take me out. You take Qishan and the others away first, and come back to find me after you have delivered them.”
Jingchi shook his head slightly, his breath trembling, "No..."
Nothing is more important than her life.
Nalan Jing heard this and said coldly, "This is an order!"
Jingchi stiffened, then finally lowered his eyes and whispered, "Yes."
His figure quickly disappeared into the darkness. Pei Yunche dared not delay and left with Nalan Jingwen on his back. As soon as he stepped out of the prison gate, he saw Hongyun coming towards him, holding a long sword.
Behind them was a raging, towering fire.
Nalan Jingwen's breath hitched, his nerves tensing to the limit. Pei Yunche had no chance of winning against Hongyun.
Before she could even speak, Pei Yunche rushed towards Hongyun. Upon seeing Pei Yunche, Hongyun instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. "Hurry and head north of the city. I've already sent men to hold off the young master."
Pei Yunche immediately nodded, "Okay."
Hongyun looked at Nalan Jingwen on his back, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only uttered three words.
"sorry."
