Chapter 1923: Escape

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Brother Tie heaved a sigh of relief and subsequently burst into laughter. “This doll is much better than the green radish!”

The girl’s pretty face quickly turned pale, and she involuntarily twitched her lips. “You will regret it if you do not let me go!”

Brother Tie gave off a roar. “Regret? Do you think your master, Zichun Shangren, will send help to you? Do you think he would even seek revenge? Keep dreaming! If you disappear, she will not be able to find a single trace. Tsk tsk, using such a beautiful doll for alchemy is such a waste.” He pinched the little girl’s face as he spoke.

The girl allowed her head to be tilted to the side as she looked at him. In her eyes was a swirling light, one that was full of uncommon colors. It carried with it a sense of frigidity, like the aurora light above the poles. That made Brother Tie feel a shudder in his heart. He was stunned for a moment.

His companion also advised him. “Brother Tie, the child needs to preserve her naivety so that the pills that we make will have sufficient spiritual power. Don’t horse around.”

Brother Tie withdrew his hand. “Of course; I know that. If not, I would have set my eyes on the little birds earlier on!”

As a couple of them were joking around, Brother Tie and his companion brought Si Qing and the other two inside.

They initially wanted to carry the three children in black bags, but the words of a little girl moved them. “You release our locked veins, and we will walk away by ourselves.”

Brother Tie was then reluctant to carry a black bag as he walked. Besides that, since he had arrived at his own turf, he was no longer afraid that the three children would start any other offensive measures against him.

Eventually, he released the locked veins of the three children so that they acquire their ability to walk again. All they could do was walk; their other abilities were still sealed.

Brother Tie led the way while the three children were marching away. One more person guarded at the back; that way, there was no need to be afraid of the three children escaping.

Si Qing could not suppress his urges and stole glances at the little girl. He had met Zichun Shangren’s superior’s apprentice, who was also pretty and about 13 to 14 years of age. That girl was entirely different from the girl that he had met before.

That little girl was disguised! What would be her intention? His heart was still preoccupied with his sister as well. He approached the little girl but failed to ask anything.

The little girl had a mild scent emanating from her body. Si Qing easily felt restless, but the scent was surprisingly effective at calming him down.

The roads here were odd, with many forks. Each road had a drain, and in the drain there tended to be bubbling green-colored liquid. The road was also uneven. Stepping on it will even dirty your feet. What was this place?

Si Qing had never seen such an odd place before. It seemed like a place where ants would live. It was branched out in many directions and had numerous crossings. He even saw other half beasts of different shapes and sizes.

Si Qing grew more and more disappointed as he walked. Throughout the way, he had met at least 60 to 70 half-men, each of them of considerable proficiency in their external abilities. They were all at least Senior Immortals.

He was still trying to memorize his way there at first, so as to prepare himself for an opportunity to escape. However, due to the tortuous road, after pa.s.sing through over ten road crossings, he felt that his brainpower failed him.

His external abilities only put himself on par with that of Middle Immortals. He was alone, and without a.s.sistance. To be trapped in such a weird place, how could there still be any hope for an escape?!

“Little fellas, don’t try to think of ways to escape. You should accept your fate once coming here so that you can die at ease.” Brother Tie threatened.

The three children did not speak. Si Qing and Heng Qing failed to come up with anything while the little girl resorted to silence.
