Chapter 797: Chapter 498: Judge of the Black Prison_3

Xu Yuan’s eyes gleamed with interest.

He could understand a corpse moving, and a corpse acting according to its previous life patterns—after all, there were countless spellcrafts in the world, what if O’Reilly was skilled in necromancy?

But he really couldn’t understand the notion of a corpse containing vitality.

With this thought, Xu Yuan turned his gaze to the person in the black robe, hoping that the master of Black Prison could give him an answer. Unfortunately, the only thing that came from underneath the robe was a voice with a hint of disdain, sweet and girly:

"Xu Changtian, you sure have a lot of issues. You want to avoid alarming the enemy, yet you want real-time monitoring. If you’re really that curious, why don’t I just help you catch that dead jailer for you to study?"

Hearing these sarcastic words, Xu Yuan smiled awkwardly but didn’t mind.

People with abilities always have bigger tempers.

The Black Prison Warden in front of him clearly didn’t like him much, seeing as Black Prison was her domain, and his actions would likely ransack her turf entirely.

If it weren’t for his father’s "imperial authorization," he probably would have been beaten and thrown out by now.

"This matter isn’t urgent; now that we’ve achieved our goal, we can take our time to investigate."

Xu Yuan slowly stood up and asked the figure in the black robe, "But you’re sure everything is under control, right? If those monsters in your Black Prison were released, that would cause quite the trouble."

The person in the black robe huffed coldly, extended a bony, withered hand to remove the hood with a voice that was cold but somehow sweet and cute:

"If things get out of control, I’ll take her out myself."

Xu Yuan looked at her face, his eyes slightly raised in surprise.

Completely different from her withered hand, under the hood was the face of a young girl.

"Warden, you’re so young?"

Sikou Taohua’s eyes narrowed slightly:

"Xu Changtian, I’m old enough to be your grandmother."

"Fine, I’ll tell my dad that you want to be his mom..."

"..." The girl’s face twitched.

Xu Yuan cleared his throat and got back to the point:

"If it really does get out of control, can you spare her life?"

The girl smiled with curved eyes: "That’s possible, but there is a condition, do you want to hear it?"

After exchanging a glance, Xu Yuan shivered and waved his hand:

"I really don’t get why all you elders like to beat me up so much. My uncle does it, Lou Ji does it, Hua Hong does it too. You really have some nasty hobbies, tsk tsk..."

The girl just shook her head lightly and narrowed her eyes into slits:

"I’m different from them."

"What’s the difference?"

"Looking at your face reminds me of someone I can’t stand."

On hearing this, Xu Yuan was stunned, then chuckled lightly, as if he could see through the thoughts of the person before him:

"It’s not my mother, is it?"

"...." The girl.

After a moment of silence, a trace of self-loathing sadness swept across the eyes of the girl, who tightened her black robe around her and spoke coldly:

"All right, according to your plan, you should be leaving soon. I’m going to get ready."

With that,

Warden Sikou put the hood back on, turned around, and disappeared without looking back at the end of the corridor.

Watching her vanish, Xu Yuan slowly settled back into the rocking chair, his palm gently caressing the rough, yellowed handle, looking in the direction she had gone, and sighing softly.

Warden of Black Prison, a single-worded name Qing, in Cangyuan Chronicles’ map of the Black Prison, she appeared as the final boss and was one of the Prime Minister’s Mansion high-level members who loyally died for Xu Yin He.

When Qing first appeared in Cangyuan Chronicles, her character illustration was so delicate and pretty that she could rival some of the main female characters.

Her eyes like emerald lakes, movements as graceful as a startled swan; Xu Yuan initially thought she was a potential love interest.

But as the plot developed, Xu Yuan discovered that beneath that stunning beauty was a grotesquely distorted body.

When the second phase began, the black robe shrouding Qing would fall away, revealing her horribly misshapen body underneath.

Her chest was host to an already long-dead head, and arms as slender as those of an arthropod creature densely covered her body.

She was a blood slave, flesh-crafted by demonic cultivators.

Born into misery, she grew up amidst disdainful gazes, killed in desperation, and survived by barely clinging to life in the shadows.

Her life was supposed to end with the death of the demon cultivator,

but before that,

Qing met that young man, who seemed like a banished immortal.
