Chapter 62 Xiaoyue
He coveted any pretty girl in the village. His wife, Qionghua, was no better. She acted as if nothing was wrong, arranging for Wang Ye to take concubines, but the concubines would soon turn into corpses, terrifying all the women in the village. Perhaps it was retribution for their many misdeeds, but Wang Ye and his wife had no children for a long time after their marriage. When they finally had a child, it was a deformed baby.
Despite consulting countless doctors to no avail, the boy's personality was just like his father's—tyrannical and ruthless. When it came time for him to get married, no one dared to marry him. Later, his mother somehow managed to get him several concubines, but after they were brought in, no one in the village ever saw them again.
The villagers were afraid that this family would set their sights on them, so families with daughters married them off early, fearing that the family would take a fancy to them. Even so, children still frequently went missing in the village, both boys and girls, and even some who were already married.
The villagers were filled with fear. Although everyone knew that it was this family who were behind it, no one dared to do anything. Once, an old man had his leg broken while trying to save his daughter, and now he had gone insane. The Wang family, relying on their connection with the evil official and the support of others, oppressed the villagers at every turn.
Everyone in the village knows about the Wang family's despicable deeds, but no one dares to say anything. With the idea that they can't afford to offend them, they've all moved away. Now, the only people left in the village are the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled who are unable to leave.
That family lured and abducted men and women with outstanding looks, then resold them to earn demon crystals. Over the years, countless people have been resold by them.
Ruohan knew all this from a little girl. Ruohan said that the little girl was called Xiaoyue and was the daughter of Wang Ye and Yumei.
He met Xiaoyue on a cold winter day. He was originally a ginseng that had cultivated and transformed into human form. He disliked the noise down the mountain, so after transforming, he stayed on the mountain, keeping company with the flowers, trees, and various small animals in the forest.
Peach Blossom Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The mountain where he lived was densely wooded and steep, so almost no one went there. One day, he was picking wild fruits in the forest when he met Xiaoyue being chased by a group of people.
Xiaoyue looked thin and small at that time, but she ran up the mountain with all her might. He felt pity for her and wanted to save her. But who would have thought that although those people did not have high demon power, they carried magic tools to suppress demon power and were full of tricks. He was caught in their trap.
Those people took him to this dungeon. When he arrived, there were already more than ten people imprisoned in the dungeon. Xiaoyue was imprisoned with him. Xiaoyue was injured and in critical condition. Desperate to save her, he bit his finger and dripped his blood into Xiaoyue's mouth.
A short while later, Xiaoyue slowly woke up. This scene was witnessed by Qionghua, who came to deliver food. So he became her blood collection vessel. She would come every day to collect a bowl of his blood. In order to prevent him from dying, she specifically instructed Xiaoyue to take good care of him.
The people in the cages are sent away every now and then, and he doesn't know where they are sent. Xiaoyue said that they will all be sold. Xiaoyue also said that this dungeon seems to be unguarded, but in reality, it is full of formations and talismans. As long as a demon enters, it can only be controlled.
Outside the dungeon stood more than a dozen guards, all of whom possessed high demonic power. Xiaoyue also told him that this place was at the foot of the mountain behind her house, and that there was a tunnel leading directly to her home.
The dungeon contains talismans drawn by powerful beings, which ordinary demon soldiers and officials cannot detect. In addition, the Wang family has some unclear and ambiguous relationships with the demon officials in the vicinity, so they have never been discovered for many years. Qionghua and her group imprisoned good-looking men and women they found from all over the place here, and then notified their accomplices to come and pick them up when the number of people reached a certain level.
Qionghua disliked Xiaoyue, so she locked her up in the dungeon as well, preventing her from leaving. She told everyone that the little girl had gone missing, and no one dared to question the truth of the matter.
Qionghua assigned Xiaoyue to deliver food to these abducted people. Although they could not see the light of day, at least they could survive, and as long as they survived, there was hope.
After Ruohan was captured, only the two of them could talk. Everyone else had been drugged, so the two often chatted. But this didn't last long. One day, Wang Lin went crazy and came to the dungeon to humiliate the newly captured girl. Xiaoyue only said one sentence, which angered him. He actually reached out his claws to Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue couldn't bear the humiliation and fought back desperately, but in the end, he strangled her to death.
Because he had been drained of blood for a long time, his body was very weak, and his demonic power was suppressed. He could only watch helplessly as Xiaoyue turned into a corpse.
From then on, no one in the dungeon cared about him or talked to him anymore. After Xiaoyue died, her body was left in a corner of the dungeon, ignored by everyone. Ruohan watched as her body slowly rotted into a pile of bones.
But there was nothing he could do. He thought that perhaps before long, he too would die silently, just like that little girl, turning into a pile of bones.
"Don't talk so discouragingly. Don't worry, with me here, you won't die. As for that family of beasts, I will definitely not let them get away with it!"
Lu Jinyan's eyes turned red with anger. This family was truly scum. The old beast who drove his first wife to her death, the little beast who defiled his own sister, and that vicious old woman—she would not let any of them go.
However, the most urgent task now is to figure out how to get out of here. There are array runes everywhere, so Yuan Yi and the others can't use their spells. Besides, there are so many people here, and she can't just abandon them.
"These people have been drugged. How can they recover?" Lu Jinyan asked Ruohan, who had recovered somewhat.
"The poison they've been given can be cured by finding an antidote and taking it. Another method is to use my blood." Ruohan is a thousand-year-old ginseng, so while he can't cure every poison, this minor one shouldn't be a problem.
"No, you're so badly injured, we can't draw any more blood!" Lu Jinyan was the first to refuse. He really would die if they drew more blood. She couldn't risk her own life to save someone else; that would be a huge loss!
As Ruohan just mentioned, this dungeon may seem unguarded, but in reality, it is guarded by experts who are all mentally unstable. If she wants to take it away like this, it will probably be very difficult.
