Chapter 366: The Young Maiden's Confession

~6 min read 1,124 words

Shui Ye has killing intent!

The men guarding the prison cells, who had just been laughing heartily at the boy on the rocking chair, changed their expressions the very next moment.

However, Shui Nan's gaze had not looked at them from beginning to end.

Luo Zijun hurriedly rose from the rocking chair and said in surprise, "Uncle Nan, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? I couldn't sleep, so I came out to chat with everyone."

Shui Nan stared at him with a gloomy expression and said, "Where did you come from?"

Luo Zijun asked in astonishment, "The prison cell, didn't I live in this prison cell?"

Shui Nan stared at him with a sinister gaze for a while, then said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "How do I remember that you got drunk tonight and slept at my house?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the men guarding the prison cells nearby immediately widened their eyes.

Luo Zijun raised his hand to scratch the back of his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "I was indeed unable to hold my liquor tonight and passed out, but fortunately, I sobered up in time, so I came back on my own."

"Sobered up in time?"

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Shui Nan's mouth, and he looked at him with a deep gaze.

The drug in that wine was something he had spent a great price to buy, and he had even specifically found several wild beasts to experiment on; no matter how ferocious the beast, it would fall into a deep sleep after consuming it.

Yet this brat was actually safe and sound!

Luo Zijun said with a face full of confusion, "Uncle Nan, what's wrong? Is there something you need me to do?"

Shui Nan narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down again, but he didn't speak further; he let out a cold snort, turned around, and left, limping on his cane.

Luo Zijun wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the other party was missing a leg, the pressure of his aura was in no way inferior to a powerful Martial Master.

The other party was clearly also a cultivator, and his cultivation was not low.

However, the other party had indeed underestimated him.

Back in Daliang Lin'an, he had endured countless druggings and night raids; the experience given to him by the Queen, as well as the medicine refined by his Senior Sister, had long since given him Hundred Poisons Immunity. For the other party to still want to drug him with a sleeping potion in the wine was simply showing off before an expert and overestimating his own abilities.

"Divine Doctor Hua, weren't you eating at Shui Ye's house tonight? Why does it look like he came to find trouble with you? How did you offend him?"

The men guarding the prison cells asked curiously.

Luo Zijun naturally dared not tell the truth and casually brushed it off: "I probably couldn't hold my liquor and didn't drink well with Shui Ye."

"Divine Doctor Hua, I heard that Shui Ye wants to marry his daughter to you?"

Someone else asked in a low voice.

Luo Zijun sighed and said, "I am already a broken flower and a wilted willow; I am not worthy of the pure and flawless Miss Aw u."

He didn't dare to say more and, using the excuse of being tired, returned to the prison cell.

Wang Qiangzhuang and the others were not asleep; seeing him return, they asked if he had gathered any useful information.

Luo Zijun said, "Daoist Wensong should be safe. As for that pirate king called Red Bird, there is still no news. However..."

"However what?"

The few of them hurriedly pricked up their ears.

Luo Zijun said, "Captain, I feel that the one called Shui Ye is not simple. Tonight... he seduced me."

"Ah... he seduced you? How did he seduce you?"

The group immediately became curious.

Song Erlang chuckled and said, "Brother Hua was taken advantage of by him?"

Luo Zijun said, "I was taken advantage of by his daughter. He used his daughter to seduce me; after getting me drunk, he wanted his daughter to... do that to me."

The brilliant, flower-like smile on Song Erlang's face withered instantly.

"And then?"

Wang Qiangzhuang asked.

Luo Zijun said, "I pretended to be drunk, and while he went out the door, I knocked his daughter out and then escaped back here."

Everyone: "..."

Song Erlang's mouth twitched, not believing it at all: "Brother Hua is bragging, right? With Miss Shui Wu's appearance and figure, if she took the initiative to seduce you, wouldn't you have surrendered immediately? You knocked her out and escaped back? You wouldn't sleep in a beautiful woman's fragrant boudoir, but would instead choose to come back and sleep in this dog kennel?"

"A gentleman has things he can do, and things he cannot do."

Luo Zijun said solemnly, "Besides, I already have a beloved girl in my heart."

"Oh, give it a rest!"

Song Erlang rolled his eyes.

Yang Yan smiled and said, "Brother Hua, if that is truly the case, I think you should have complied with her, then taken the opportunity to infiltrate the interior and scout out the secrets of this island. You might have been able to get news of Red Bird from that Miss Shui Wu."

Luo Zijun sat down against the wall in the corner of the prison cell and said, "We sell our skills, not our bodies. Wanting me to sell my body in exchange for intelligence is impossible!"

In the corner to the side, Xu Ziyin silently rolled her eyes at him.

Beside Xu Ziyin, Lu Yao's mouth moved slightly, seemingly revealing a trace of disdain.

"If there is still no result tomorrow, we will find a way to locate Daoist Wensong and then leave. This place is not suitable for a long stay; if we can't find Red Bird, we will go find someone else."

Wang Qiangzhuang made the decision.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

That night, Luo Zijun sat in the corner cultivating and did not sleep.

In the corner on the other side, Lu Yao also leaned against the wall and sat motionless in the darkness for the whole night.

The next day.

Not long after dawn, the one-eyed man named Akun came in, opened the prison door, and told Luo Zijun to come out.

"What about us?"

Song Erlang hurriedly said, "We aren't prisoners, why keep us locked up all the time?"

Akun turned his head to glance at him and said, "If you aren't prisoners, what are you? Guests?"
