Chapter 177: Chapter 177: The Destruction of Wuyou Island (2)_1
"Who among you is more formidable?"
"Of course, it’s him," Jiang Yu said. "We cultivate by sleeping, and once he sleeps, it could be for several hundred to a thousand years. I can only stay asleep for a while before getting restless. So, tell me, can I even compare with him?"
"Where is your true form?"
"Endless Hell," Jiang Yu said. "You know about Hell, right? It’s the most desolate, most cruel, and darkest place of all the planes."
"How did you end up there?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"My brother, ah, he likes it there, and I don’t really care, so we just went. Those plane rules and such don’t apply to us; they can’t bind us."
"Heh, I would actually love to see your brother," Dugu Qianye said with a smile. Sadly, it seemed there was no chance for that now.
"What’s so great about him? He’s not as good-looking as me, not as dashing, not as charming," Jiang Yu complained, feeling dissatisfied with Dugu Qianye’s curiosity about Jiang Yu, and said narcissistically. "Anyway, what are you planning to do next?"
"Wait," Dugu Qianye said. "When the time comes for the grand ritual, someone from the Divine Temple will come to take me there."
"How do you know?" asked Jiang Yu, curious.
"The Buddha said: Indescribable, indescribable. Sigh, it’s getting late, sleep, sleep!" Dugu Qianye yawned and threw herself onto the bed. Ever since she had arrived at the Divine Temple, she hadn’t really had a good rest. Now that she had found her mother and the others, she could finally sleep peacefully.
"Darling, do you need me to warm the bed for you?" Jiang Yu suddenly said to Dugu Qianye.
"Scram!" Along with a roar came a fluffy pillow.
Jiang Yu caught the pillow and said, "Girls shouldn’t be so violent; they won’t be able to find a husband that way!"
The only response he got was the sound of Dugu Qianye’s breathing.
"She must be really exhausted," Jiang Yu remarked. "Speaking of which, this pillow is pretty soft; it should be comfortable to sleep on."
He squeezed the pillow firmly, then took it into his own space. After a glance at the soundly sleeping Dugu Qianye, he flashed back into his Skeleton Earring.
After a good sleep, Dugu Qianye felt particularly energetic the next day. When she went for breakfast in the dining area, she even greeted everyone.
"Senior Weng Yuzi," Dugu Qianye sat down beside Weng Yuzi and said, "You seem to be in good spirits today!"
It was said that he would sometimes go mad in the mornings. Since he hadn’t today, indeed, that was a good sign.
"Young friend, you seem to be in a good mood too," Weng Yuzi said.
"Haha, indeed. It’s rare for me to have had such a good sleep. I’ve found this really is a great place for recuperation, without external disturbances, without worldly worries. The name ’Wuyou Island’ really fits."
"So, you’re planning to stay here for a long time?" Weng Yuzi looked at Dugu Qianye and asked.
"I’d love to stay for a long time, but sadly the Divine Temple won’t give me that chance," said Dugu Qianye with a shrug. "This bit of leisure time has been stolen by me."
"Baili, when are you going to make that Beggar’s Chicken you talked about?" Liu Jilin ran over and sat opposite Dugu Qianye, asking.
Ugh! Dugu Qianye was speechless, wondering how her substitute had also learned to use food as a means of temptation?!
"If I have time, I will definitely make you some," Dugu Qianye cursed inwardly but said with a smile on her face, "After all, our meals are all prepared by the Divine Temple now, so even if I wanted to cook, I wouldn’t have the chance!"
"Seems like it," Liu Jilin said, "Then let’s find a time to sneak out and do it."
"Deal!" Dugu Qianye agreed. Since they would not be there much longer, they could worry about things after getting out.
At this moment, Xiao’er and his brothers arrived in the dining hall to distribute the day’s breakfast to everyone.
"Xiao’er, I’ve noticed you’ve gotten more handsome lately!" Dugu Qianye said as she took the food offered by Xiao’er.
"We see each other every day; you never mentioned I was getting handsome before?!" Xiao’er retorted.
Chatting with the people here about all sorts of things was one of the ways they passed the time. Besides, they knew that Dugu Qianye was there because she had killed Niu Yan. Before her arrival, the four brothers were always bullied by Niu Yan, so they were quite fond of Dugu Qianye who had killed him, despite knowing her days were numbered.
"That’s because people change every day, right?" Dugu Qianye said playfully, "Maybe by tomorrow, we won’t recognize ourselves."
"Is that so!" Xiao’er interjected, "By tomorrow, you will still be Baili Xie."
Dugu Qianye looked at Xiao’er and said, "Perhaps by tomorrow, you won’t be you anymore."
After finishing her meal, Dugu Qianye returned to her room and browsed through the Refining Manual Youwu had given her. When it was time to eat again, she would go out and chat with Weng Yuzi and others. Weng Yuzi was a good conversation partner when he was sane, possessing profound knowledge, especially in Alchemy, which greatly inspired Dugu Qianye.
Liu Jilin was also a good chat buddy; unlike Weng Yuzi, talking with him often involved peculiar tales from far and wide or ancient legends he knew about. Conversing with him was always a joy.
Time quickly approached the eve of the grand sacrifice, and after Dugu Qianye finished discussing things with Xiao’er and Lei Fengqi, she appeared outside their room.
"Baili Xie, it’s late, why aren’t you resting in your room? What brings you to us?"
"Naturally, I have something to discuss with you all," Dugu Qianye said, "Brothers, let’s bond well with our guards."
At this time, Weng Yuzi, Liu Jilin, and others who were confined in the compound appeared, staring down Xiao’er and his group ominously.
"What do you think you’re doing?"
"Ah, can’t you see the obvious?" Baili Xie said, "They’re here to tell you that they want to leave this place. Having been confined here for decades or even a century, they’ve had their fill. What’s it called, um, breaking out, right, they’re planning a break-out!"
"Heh, are you saying you all intend to escape together?" Xiao’er asked, bloodthirstily eyeing everyone, "If you step out of line, we can simply kill you all. The Hall Master would not mourn your loss."
"Hmm, do you really think so many of us can’t overpower just the four of you?" Dugu Qianye asked, "Why do you underestimate us so? Brothers, shall we show them how we’re going to break out?"
"Baili Xie, you killed Niu Yan and had substantial influence. Although your Phantom Power isn’t sealed, they are not like you! Dragging them into this is plain suicide!" Xiao’er exclaimed.
"Oh, you mean the Power Dissolving Powder in them?" Dugu Qianye said with a smile, "Well, I’ve already neutralized that for them, so, they can easily beat you!"
As soon as Dugu Qianye finished speaking, all of the prisoners on the island erupted. They had been detained here for decades or even a century because they refused to serve the Divine Temple, cut off from their loved ones and unable to cultivate. Almost forgetting their initial dreams and vengeance, the long-suppressed anger and hatred, once unleashed, could not be contained.
