824 Have A Chat

In the dead of night, the second elder was sleeping soundly when a large hand suddenly reached out to cover his mouth and nose.

The second elder started struggling!

He struggled out of bed and rolled to the ground.

But before he could get up, he was knocked unconscious from behind.

…

When he woke up, he found himself tied to a stone pillar.

The five people standing in front of him were Lin Huanhuan and her four mates.

Huanhuan looked at Bai Di beside her. “Is this what you meant by ‘talking’?”

Bai Di was very calm. “If we tie him up, we can talk to him however we want.”

Huanhuan: “…”

She didn’t expect him to be so scheming!

The second elder was so angry that he wanted to curse, but his mouth was blocked by the hay. He couldn’t speak and could only whimper.

Huanhuan could understand him.

If it were her, she would be furious if someone suddenly knocked her out and tied her up while she was sleeping soundly at night.

She sympathized. “Take the thing out of his mouth.”

Shuang Yun walked forward and took out the hay from the second elder’s mouth.

Pfft! The second elder spat out the remaining hay in his mouth and scolded angrily, “What do you want? I’m the second elder of the Elders’ a.s.sociation. How dare you kidnap me?!”

Huanhuan said slowly, “Don’t be anxious. We just want to talk to you about something. We don’t mean anything else—”

The second elder interrupted her. “Stop pretending to be kind! You’ve already kidnapped me. Don’t expect this matter to end peacefully. Our Elders’ a.s.sociation won’t let you off!”

Huanhuan thought for a moment. “Send him away.”

Shuang Yun asked, “Where should we send him?”

“He looks angry. He probably doesn’t want to talk to us for the time being. We have to calm him down. I remember there’s a water dungeon next door. Throw him in it and submerge him. When he calms down, we can talk.”

“Sure.”

Shuang Yun called two beast soldiers over to hold down the second elder on either side.

The second elder was very panicked. “What are you doing? I’m the second elder of the Elders’ a.s.sociation. You have no right to lynch me!”

Shuang Yun said, “Take him down.”

The beast soldiers dragged the second elder out of the interrogation room and threw him into the water dungeon next door.

The water dungeon was surrounded by walls. There were four fist-sized holes in each wall. The dungeon was quickly filled with ice water.

The second elder’s hands were hanging by a rope. The water was just above his mouth. He had to stand up straight and raise his head to breathe and speak normally.

Even so, he refused to compromise.

“How dare you abuse your power on me? When I return to the 10,000 Beast Temple, I won’t let you off!”

Xue Ling chuckled. “In that case, I’ll keep you here.”

“W-What do you mean?”

“As long as we kill you, you won’t be able to go back. You won’t be able to take revenge on us.”

The second elder panicked, but he still pretended to be calm. “How dare you?!”

Xue Ling turned to the beast soldier beside him and instructed, “Continue to add water.”

“Alright!”

The beast soldiers opened the sluice gate. Water flowed out of the holes in the walls and into the dungeon.

The water rose visibly.

Soon, it covered the second elder’s mouth, then his nose…

When he was submerged, he couldn’t breathe anymore. The intense suffocation made him dizzy, and his chest felt like it was about to explode. He wished he was dead.

Bai Di estimated that it was about time and said to the beast soldiers, “Pull him out.”

“Alright!”

The beast soldiers jumped into the water, grabbed the second elder on either side, dragged him out of the water dungeon, and threw him to the ground.

At this moment, the second elder was on his last breath. He lay on the ground and did not move.

Shuang Yun squatted down and patted his cheek. “Wake up.”

The second elder still did not move.

“If you continue to pretend to be dead, I’ll have to throw you into the dungeon again.”

As soon as Shuang Yun finished speaking, the second elder opened his eyes and begged with a trembling voice, “Don’t, don’t! You can talk about anything you want. Stop torturing me!”

Shuang Yun smiled. “If you had been so obedient, you wouldn’t have suffered so much just now.”

Huanhuan got someone to bring a stool over. “Help him sit on it.”

The beast soldiers dragged the second elder up and tied him to a chair.

Huanhuan looked the second elder up and down. Seeing that he was drenched, pale, and in a very sorry state, she couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction. “Don’t worry, as long as you’re obedient, we won’t take your life.”

The water in the water dungeon was much colder than ordinary water. Even though he had only been submerged for a while, the second elder was already trembling from the cold. His lips were purple.

He asked shakily, “W-What do you want?”

Huanhuan said slowly, “I just want to ask you why the first elder asked you to look for me.”

“Didn’t I already tell you? The first elder asked me to invite you to the 10,000 Beast Ceremony.”

“What else?”

“N-No. That’s all the first elder said.”

Seeing that he was avoiding her gaze, she sighed slowly. “I hate it when people lie. As long as someone lies to me, I can’t help but want to lock that person in the water dungeon and make them beg for death…”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” The second elder was afraid that they would lock him in the water dungeon again, so he hurriedly said, “The first elder asked me to invite you to the 10,000 Beast Ceremony. He also asked me to put something into your food when you weren’t looking. After you eat it, you’ll be obedient and become a puppet at our mercy.”

“What is it?”

The second elder stammered, “It’s just a pill…”

“Where’s the pill?”

“In the relay station.”

Sang Ye took the initiative to say, “I’ll get it.”

Huanhuan nodded. “Yes, come back quickly.”

Sang Ye turned around and walked out.

Huanhuan looked at the second elder and saw that he was trembling in fear. She said gently, “Don’t be afraid. As long as you tell the truth, not only will we not kill you, but we’ll also personally send you back to the City of 10,000 Beasts.”

The second elder was stunned. “Really?”

“Of course. I keep my word.”

“But I have a small request.”

The second elder knew that it wouldn’t be so easy. He had seen through it now. The little female in front of him looked obedient, but she was actually very cunning. Since he had fallen into her hands, he would definitely be squeezed dry of his remaining value.

Even so, he had to bite the bullet and ask, “What request is it?”

It was better to live than die. No matter what, he had to seize this chance of survival.

At this moment, Sang Ye returned.

He handed Huanhuan a small cloth bag. “This was found in his luggage.”

She slowly opened the small cloth bag. There was a black pill inside.

She leaned closer and sniffed. There was a faint fishy smell.
