Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Seeing Black Six Again

Mango shaved ice spared Bai Junjun and the others from Old Uncle Qiu’s nagging.

And so, they lived peacefully for a few days. By now, the bandits had vanished along with Black Six’s arrest.

No one knew if they had fled to other counties or sneaked off to marry into a family elsewhere.

Of course, that was beyond the concern of Li Wenli and Bai Junjun for the time being. After leaving Black Six to hang for a couple of days, they finally visited the Dai County jail on a dark and windy night when the moon was obscured.

By this time, Black Six had returned from the brink of death, but he was left with many sequelae. He couldn’t stand the darkness and dampness at least, and he would scream and shout like a madman as soon as the lights went out in his cell.

The Dai County prison had not seen a new inmate in a long time, and now that one had finally arrived, he was too delicate to withstand the blackness or the dampness, or else he would scream and shout until someone paid attention to him.

It was hard enough to get a prisoner, but they couldn’t just let him torture himself to death after only one day.

So the jailer had no choice but to light a lamp for him and got some dry straw.

Black Six was profusely grateful, trembling continuously in his dry bed of straw all day long.

That night, they were finally ready to bring this ancestor to trial, and the jailer breathed a sigh of relief.

The County Magistrate personally brought Li Wenli and Bai Junjun inside the cell, then sensibly left the place to Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, withdrawing with all his subordinates.

At that moment, Uncle Master was somewhat puzzled.

"County Master, aren’t we participating?" he asked.

"Participate in what?" the County Magistrate glanced sidelong at Uncle Master.

"It’s the interrogation of the Black Spider Bandits, after all. As the County Magistrate, shouldn’t you need to know?"

"What can I do if I know? It doesn’t matter whether they’re asking about the Black Spider’s affairs or the matters of Zhongshan Mountain, I don’t want to be involved. Isn’t it good to live well as it is?"

Knowing too much meant being close to death.

He didn’t want that at all.

All he wanted was for Dai County to be safe and prosperous. As for dominating the world or attaining immortality through cultivation, he didn’t care and it didn’t matter to him.

Uncle Master nodded in admiration, thinking it great to have such a worry-free County Magistrate!

Inside the cell, Black Six’s face changed as he recognized the two people.

During his days in prison, every time he closed his eyes, he saw the Boa and Li Wenli’s faces. As long as he was in the darkness, he felt as though he was still in the Sacrificial Altar Cave; whenever he touched something slimy, it felt as if he was touching the Boa’s head.

This feeling was truly one of despair.

He was barely free from this torment, yet the root sources of his nightmares, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun, appeared again.

Black Six wished he could turn back time, never to have gone to the Zhongshan Tomb.

Even if he had to go, he wouldn’t have confronted them but silently slipped away after obtaining the artifacts.

If he hadn’t noticed the pursuers at the time, trying to use the living dead to deal with them, then he would have had enough time to escape.

By the time Li Wenli gave chase, he would have been as unreachable as the vast sea allows for fish to leap, as high as the sky allows for birds to soar.

All of it stemmed from his being too full of himself, which led to everything that followed.

Black Six regretted it so much that he was green in the guts.

Li Wenli looked at Black Six, who, although revived, was still visibly frightened.

"It’s just a tomb; is it worth being so scared? After all, you are a Tomb Explorer. How could you be afraid of ghosts when you’ve robbed tombs before?"

"..." Black Six wore an expression of aggrieved innocence.

He wasn’t afraid of ghosts; it was him that he feared!!

Anyone stuffed into the Boa’s mouth wouldn’t stay indifferent. The fact that he was still conscious was already a formidable perseverance, okay.
