Chapter 933 - 713: Prison
Shen Tang was directly detained in the Royal City Prison.
This place only held the most heinous criminals and had never held a female before.
Seeing a young and beautiful female being pushed into the cage, countless malicious gazes were immediately cast from all around; the prisoners’ eyes seemed to shine green.
"Well, why did they lock up a female today? This little face is really pretty."
"Look at that skin, white and tender, as if made of water. Didn’t think I would see such a female when I’m almost out of time."
"Little female, reach your hand over here. Let me touch it to see if it’s smoother than I imagined..."
"Hahahahaha..."
All sorts of obscene taunts and harsh laughter buzzed in the ears.
Normally, someone would be scared to tears at this scene.
This place was full of desperadoes, and with not many days left, they would do anything.
Even the guards outside crossed their arms, waiting to see the female cry and panic.
But unexpectedly, she was extraordinarily calm, not crying or making a fuss, just quietly leaning against the corner, giving them the feeling of punching cotton in frustration.
Someone curled their lips, "Tsk, she’s quite the actor. But since the deputy chief had us capture her, she doesn’t have many days to live. Wonder what the deputy chief plans for her."
"A bit pitiful. So beautiful, might not survive tonight."
"Why, do you want to...?"
"Hehe, don’t you?"
"This is someone the higher-ups want. Keep your thoughts to yourself."
Little Snake listened to the filthy words outside, feeling the disgusting stares, wishing to kill them all!
But Shen Tang acted as if she heard nothing, saw nothing, only gently patting its puffed-up head, "It wasn’t easy sneaking in here, don’t put the snake to flight."
Little Snake was puzzled for a moment, tilting its head in confusion, "Why put the snake to flight?"
Wasn’t it fine?
Amused by its naive and silly demeanor, Shen Tang thought it truly was an innocent little one, unable to suppress a laugh, "Don’t worry about it, just get some sleep and stay calm."
"Alright..." Little Snake noticed its sister’s confident demeanor, as if indeed she needed no interference, suppressing the urge to kill.
But it still tried hard to use its long tail to cover Shen Tang’s ears, not wanting those nasty words to taint her ears.
Shen Tang looked out towards the prison, a trace of coldness in her eyes.
Of course this place couldn’t hold her.
She wanted to see what exactly their intentions were.
Moreover, an inexplicable resentment and reluctance arose within her, as if betting against herself—
She wanted to see if that person would appear if she was truly in danger.
The prison was a mix of all sorts, holding many beastmen who had betrayed Sky City and knew much more inside information than the outside.
Shen Tang quietly spread her spiritual power throughout the entire prison, gathering a lot of information.
They mentioned a few months ago a mysterious eagle beast came to Sky City, someone of unknown origin but terrifyingly powerful, brutally defeating all challengers.
He even defeated the former third chief, becoming the new third chief of Sky City.
Unfortunately, this person was very secretive, no one usually saw his true face, nor knew where he came from.
...
"Reporting to the deputy chief, the female has been captured. May I ask what the next step is?"
A beastman walked into the palace, kneeling to report to the tall and thin man on the high seat.
This man was about thirty or forty, with a sharp face, his long narrow eyes reflecting an insatiable greed and malice.
He was the deputy chief of Sky City, the vulture Sok.
The deputy chief had been at odds with the newly arrived third chief, Sok absolutely hated him.
Since that fellow arrived, not only did he seize many of his resources, but constantly opposed him. Sok had long wanted to bring him down.
He had privately kept a watch on the third chief, hoping to find dirt on him, and indeed he caught a small tail.
Heh, who would’ve thought, that seemingly impartial and indifferent man would secretly send trusted aides to protect a strange female.
Oh my, this makes one curious. What is exactly his relationship with this female?
Sok’s slender eyes glinted with scheming light, like thinking of a wicked plan, waved his hand at the beastman beside him,
"Go tell that boy, the female is in my hands, if he doesn’t come to rescue her... hehe."
He licked his lips, "That little female looks nice, tender and juicy, she must taste delicious."
