Chapter 1016: Chapter 114: Profanation of the Past (Part 4) Chapter 1016: Chapter 114: Profanation of the Past (Part 4) Is this what they call a blessing in disguise?
Facing the unexpected change before him, Fu Qian sighed in his heart.
Space had been incredibly crossed, and with one step, Ji Liushuang had already stepped directly into the Darkfire Cage.
This was no longer merely falling into a trap. Even with his high level of Sword Heart Enlightenment and after leveling up, his Ranking was still pitifully low, and his immunity against the Evil God was almost zero.
Fortunately, inside the cage, there weren’t just two Evil Gods.
Fu Qian shook his head, and the Clear Dream Ring expanded.
This is…
As she took a step, Ji Liushuang found she had crossed through a door, and to her surprise, another door appeared in front of her.
Even the style of this door seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Was there such a place in the manor?
Ji Liushuang tried hard to remember, but her thoughts were like soaked sponges, soft and lacking the strength to bring up anything, she couldn’t even remember what she was originally supposed to do.
This sort of deep confusion, it seemed like the last time she had experienced it was in her childhood.
Creak!
However, a moment later, she followed her instinct and pushed open the door in front of her.
The lights were off, it was as dim as dusk, with foggy windows, and furniture that looked like it had been used for many years.
Behind the door was surprisingly a living room, not big in size, but it had an inexplicably cozy feel, like a small shelter before a storm arrives.
And right in the middle of the living room, a figure was lazily leaning on the sofa, looking over as he heard the door open.
A very familiar face, although she couldn’t remember his name or more details, Ji Liushuang was certain of this.
“Back already?”
The other casually asked this question before turning his head back to look out the window, seemingly observing when the rain might start.
Um.
This overly casual posture allowed Ji Liushuang to relax as well, she subconsciously responded, and involuntarily followed his gaze outside.
Since a while ago, it seemed like something out there had been calling her.
Ah!
If she hadn’t looked, it wouldn’t have been necessary, but the next moment Ji Liushuang exclaimed in a low voice.
Contrary to what one might expect before a storm, although it was indeed dark everywhere, upon closer inspection, it looked like there were black flames burning.
Even in the sky above, leaping lines of fire interwove into a net, seemingly enveloping everything, with the vague sight of special shapes hanging down, like the hands of Divine Beings.
And if this could still perhaps be an illusion of the eyes, then at closer range, two figures, one tall and one short, were undoubtedly real.
The taller one was slim, with arms sharp as spikes and at the chest area, it seemed there was another face embedded there.
As for the shorter one, she was clad in a white dress, her shoulders stained with blood.
Although her features were extremely blurred, she was undeniably staring straight at her, even moving her lips to speak.
“What is that…”
That moment, the nightmare-like scene outside seemed to make everything in front look somewhat unreal.
Mumbling to herself, Ji Liushuang uncontrollably moved forward, wanting to hear clearly what the other was saying.
“Stop!”
At that moment, a voice came from the sofa, already clearly displeased.
“What time is it now? Where did you just run off to?”
The tone that followed was outright reprimanding, and Ji Liushuang’s steps were halted in place.
“And what is this outfit you’re wearing, which teacher taught you to dress like this?”
“I…”
This feeling of being disciplined was somewhat strange to Ji Liushuang, but a thread of long-accumulated anticipation made her subconsciously not want to resist.
She hung her head like a schoolchild being scolded.
At the same time, a call seemed to rise from the depths of her heart, making her unable to resist looking out the window to confirm whether that nightmarish scene was still there.
“What are you looking at? Are you even listening to me?”
The reproach came, unsurprisingly, and her attitude had clearly caused dissatisfaction.
“Come over here and stand, and while you’re at it, give my shoulders a rub.”
The next moment, the person sitting on the sofa patted their own shoulder.
…
This scene of filial piety to avoid scolding was so natural that Ji Liushuang hesitated for less than a second before obediently doing as she was told.
And because the person showed no sign of getting up, she had to walk behind the sofa.
While awkwardly massaging the shoulders, Ji Liushuang sneakily glanced out the window and found that the figure sitting between her and the window obscured her view; she could no longer see the person speaking.
“What is that…”
Amidst the inexplicable sense of safety, the impulse to move aside was finally suppressed and Ji Liushuang instinctively asked.
“What is what?”
The person on the sofa seemed a bit puzzled.
“Outside the window, there seem to be monsters talking to me…”
She trailed off, feeling less confident, her voice growing softer.
“It’s just going to rain, there are no monsters! Are you confused by sleep?”
Sitting on the sofa, they glanced naturally out the window again, then turned back with a frown.
“Or maybe delirious from a fever?”
The next moment, realizing something, they reached out in surprise to touch her forehead.
“It is quite hot… Lie down here, I’ll get you some medicine.”
“Okay…”
Facing the commanding tone, Ji Liushuang dared not object and lay down at the other end of the sofa as instructed.
“This tastes bitter…”
Moments later, after taking the water and medicine, she almost frowned.
“Good medicine tastes bitter, it wouldn’t work otherwise.”
The person lectured in an old-fashioned manner, watching her to make sure she didn’t spit the medicine out until she finished the cup of water.
“Sleep for a while.”
Taking the empty cup, they picked up a blanket to cover her, then sat back down in their original spot.
“Okay.”
From this angle, the window was completely blocked, and the eerie scene she had seen earlier seemed unable to harm her in the slightest.
Not knowing if it was the effect of the medicine, Ji Liushuang’s consciousness grew fuzzier, finally clearing the calling from her mind.
…
“Interesting ability, no wonder you’re so arrogant.”
At that moment, turning his gaze away from Ji Liushuang seated there, the Blasphemous King in the center of the cage spoke to Fu Qian.
“My methods are hardly comparable to you fancy parasites.”
Fu Qian snorted coldly, far from modest.
Earlier, to ensure the maximum stability of the Clear Dream Ring, he had not only minimized the coverage area but also recreated scenes from his own long-term residence, which he was extremely familiar with.
Still, resisting the erosion from two Deities wasn’t easy.
Fortunately, he was quite familiar with Miss Liushuang and had chosen a role that would reduce her inner resistance the most.
Now, the Blasphemous King in front of him should be at his limit.
The one seeking vengeance was no different.
