Chapter 1391 - 1391 1377 Locked in a Cage

Chapter 1391: Chapter 1377: Locked in a Cage Chapter 1391: Chapter 1377: Locked in a Cage Ye Chen untied Xiang Yi and was about to take Meng Xiuluo away.

Xiang Yi was unwilling, but Meng Xiuluo said, “It’s fine.” At this moment, she also understood what those two guys were up to, so she wasn’t too worried.

Xiang Yi was far from excited.

Meng Xiuluo said, “It’s better to go to my room; it’s quite large. You won’t have to sleep in the corridor and when there’s time, we can even drink tea.”

Ye Chen stopped and said, “Let’s have a look then.”

As expected, her room was much larger. Ye Chen said, “You need such a big room for yourself, leaving us squashed in such a small one. You’ve really got some nerve.” He was somewhat dumbfounded and added, “People are all the same; who’s like me, solely focused on being kind to others?”

Meng Xiuluo retorted, “You two now have the chance to keep each other warm, I’m creating an opportunity for you.”

“Selfish girl, getting yourself such a big room. No wonder those under you don’t listen to you. If you’re this selfish, how can they possibly follow you?”

Guo Yuyun said, “Quit your whining and tie her up first.”

“Tie her up, for real?”

“What if she runs away, and someone catches us instead?”

“But how will she sleep?”

“Then you stay up and watch her, don’t sleep yourself.”

“Tying her up is better, after all.” Ye Chen approached Meng Xiuluo and said, “Girl, you’ve heard it all; it’s all her idea. Hate her if you will; I’m just following orders. We two have no feud.”

Guo Yuyun was furious.

Ye Chen said, “You have to understand, your subordinates are not easy to deal with. Who can guarantee that they won’t surround us tonight? Although my martial arts are decent, it’s easy for her to get caught if they do.”

“What if I need to relieve myself?” Meng Xiuluo asked.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, “Right, what do we do if she needs to go? We can’t just keep an eye on her, can we?” He looked at Guo Yuyun.

“Are you thinking of watching her?”

“That’s not what I meant. I’m saying that when she needs to go, we can’t keep her tied up.”

“Then would you help her with her trousers?”

“No need for that, we have you after all.”

A wild fruit was thrown at him, which Ye Chen quickly caught. Guo Yuyun gulped down several cups of tea, and the drowsy Ye Chen lay on the bed that was originally Meng Xiuluo’s. Smelling the blanket, he said, “It really is fragrant.”

These words were heard by Guo Yuyun, who yelled, “Get up right now!”

“I was just planning to sleep for a moment.”

Meng Xiuluo smiled; this girl was indeed very jealous.

Guo Yuyun yelled again, “Sleep on the floor!”

“I might as well go back to the original room. There’s at least a bed there.” Ye Chen shouted, “Hurry and get me a bed moved in here.”

The girl who came in, was so scared when Meng Xiuluo got tied to the pillar, she didn’t know what to do.

“Didn’t you hear? Quickly move a bed in here.” Ye Chen, afraid of Guo Yuyun’s outburst, quickly got up from Meng Xiuluo’s bed.

Meng Xiuluo called out, “I’m thirsty.”

Guo Yuyun stared at Meng Xiuluo and said, “Pour tea for her.”

“I don’t think this is very good; serving tea and meals, even having to accompany her to the toilet.”

“You want to release her, fine. If we get drugged or captured, and fed to the sharks, it won’t be me.”

Ye Chen carried a cup of water over and said, “You won’t be playing tricks, will you?”

Meng Xiuluo gulped down the tea, ignoring him.

“Still can’t trust you; we’ll just have to inconvenience you for a few days. You really can’t control those subordinates of yours. Even though you’re their boss, they don’t listen to you, just like we were almost abandoned on that island. You need to stay by our side, whether we use you for leverage or something else, they may still resort to violence against us. Even if they don’t resort to violence, they might poison or drug us; we need you to be our little white mouse.”

This guy was something else, catching a flounder and yet trying to persuade her not to be angry. He was really infuriating her.

Before long, a noisy crowd arrived. Xiang Yi had told the Barbarians about how Meng Xiuluo got captured by the two of them. The Barbarian immediately brought people over.

Seeing Meng Xiuluo tied to the pillar, the Barbarian’s heart ached as he yelled, “What are you two trying to do?”

Guo Yuyun wasn’t polite at all. She drew her knife and shouted, “Don’t come any closer, or there will be bloodshed.”

The Barbarian backed away upon hearing this.

Guo Yuyun said, “This is all your doing. If not for that deserted island incident, we wouldn’t have to do this. Capturing her is just a precaution. If you try to poison us, we’ll still have someone to test it first.”

The Barbarian said with some distress, “How about this, I’ll stay here as a hostage.”

“I don’t need you for anything, get out of here quickly,” Guo Yuyun snapped, not falling for it, “Having you stay in our room only makes it harder for me to sleep.”

The Barbarian was so angry that he couldn’t speak, seeming ready to unsheathe his sword to rescue someone.

Guo Yuyun was very cautious and said, “Be careful, swords have no eyes. Is your sword faster, or is my knife faster?” She knew that the Barbarian liked Meng Xiuluo, and by controlling Meng Xiuluo, she effectively controlled him, since Meng Xiuluo was still the leader of them all. It was easier to deal with a girl than a boy.

Ye Chen hadn’t really thought Guo Yuyun had this side to her; he truly hadn’t noticed before.

Helpless, the Barbarian’s eyes bulged as big as fists.

Meng Xiuluo said, “Alright, you guys go back and rest,”

“But we can’t let them tie you to a post like this, and prevent you from sleeping at night.”

“If you want to sleep, then bring over the iron cage, place it in that corner, and put a bed inside it,” Guo Yuyun instructed.

“What, you’re going to lock our leader in an iron cage?”

“Then let’s just keep her tied up like this.” If they really could lock her in a cage, it would save them a lot of trouble, as she would take care of her own eating, drinking, and sleeping.

“You?” The Barbarian was too angry to speak.

“What’s wrong? Feeling sorry? Did you think you could forget about throwing us on the island? Dream on. I advise you to figure out a way to leave these waters quickly, so this girl can suffer less.”

The Barbarian pondered, realizing they had the hostage and the upper hand in the negotiations.

“I suggest you hurry up and bring over that cage. It’s better to sleep on a bed inside an iron cage than how things are now.”

Indeed, they brought over a metal cage. This very cage, left behind on the beach and unmoved by sea water, had been stowed on the ship for emergencies. They never expected it would come in handy.

A small bed was placed inside the cage, making it look like a pet enclosure.

After Guo Yuyun locked it, Ye Chen remarked, “There’s some wisdom there. You’ll no longer bother us with your eating and going to the bathroom.”

“Do you want to go in and keep her company?”

“Nope, I’d rather stay outside,” Ye Chen said firmly, shaking the iron cage to test its sturdiness. “You just stay in there comfortably.”

Meng Xiuluo didn’t respond to him; she had already laid down to sleep.

“Indeed, it’s a good solution. Now we don’t have to worry about those bastards outside trying to harm us,” Ye Chen said.

Guo Yuyun slept on Meng Xiuluo’s large bed.

Ye Chen slept on a small bed and somehow made it through the night without encountering another Pangu Beast.

“You better not actually fall asleep. Be careful you don’t have enough time if someone charges in,” Guo Yuyun said.

“Then the best option is for me to go inside the cage,” Ye Chen said jokingly.

“Best to cozy up with her, right?”

“That’s not necessary.”

“The Barbarian is a bad guy, definitely scheming something again,” Guo Yuyun deduced.

“We had a close call today. If the ship hadn’t returned, we would have really ended up living in the mountains like savages,” Ye Chen said reflectively. “We really have to thank the Pangu Beast. Without its interference, they would never have turned back.”

All was quiet, dead silent.

For Guo Yuyun, this meant she could fully relax.

As long as they had the girl as a hostage, there was no need to worry about anything else.

Zang Di from Slaughter Island had been killed, the Scorpion Witch from the Demon Clan had defected to the Dragon Slaying Clan, Ling Li had fled the One Hundred and Eight Islands with her followers, and the Dragon Slaying Clan had issued a Battle Letter to the Demon Domain, clearly stating the location of the decisive battle.

Longhun knew that the people of the Demon Domain had made preparations; it was only fair to give them a chance. He was confident and wanted to defeat the people of the Demon Domain in one battle to deter others even further.

His only worry now was that people from the Wastelands or the Thirty-Six Islands would come to the aid of the Demon Domain, so he set the battle date as soon as possible. This would mean that even if the Demon Domain desperately wanted help from the Thirty-Six Islands or the Wastelands, it would be too late.

It wasn’t that he feared the people from the Thirty-Six Islands, but he didn’t want them to cause trouble behind his back while he was dealing with the Demon Domain.

Soon, the people of the Demon Domain received the Battle Letter.

Now Lou Xuancheng faced a decision: to accept the challenge and weigh the odds of victory. After all, Zang Di had been defeated and the One Hundred and Eight Islands had returned to Longhun’s control.

Of course, they were also well aware that if they did not accept the challenge, Longhun would methodically destroy each of their sects. So, what was the point of forming their alliance a month ago?

The most anxious of them all was probably Lou Xuancheng. As the Alliance Leader, everyone was waiting for his command. If he didn’t organize the Demon Domain, what use was being the Alliance Leader?

There were two prevailing opinions within the Demon Domain: to fight a decisive battle or to lure the enemies deeper and then deal with them.
