Chapter 16 Good Results and Bad Results 15
The Demon Palace Dungeon is the most impregnable prison besides the Celestial Prison of the Gods. It is built two hundred meters underground, and apart from a few faint lights, there is no other light. Coldness and loneliness are its main characteristics.
Na Yue has been imprisoned here for several months. Now that the gods and demons are at odds, they will naturally not let her, a prisoner, go easily.
Her white clothes were tattered and stained with blood, and her exposed skin was covered in wounds. Because her divine power was sealed, she could not use her self-healing magic. Old wounds did not heal and new wounds kept appearing. Her body was already at its limit.
However, compared to the physical pain, the boundless loneliness made her despair even more.
She believed the gods wouldn't abandon her to her fate, but she didn't believe she could get out alive. The demons' schemes were rife with cunning, and she could hear them from miles away.
These past few days, apart from the regular guards, no demons have been seen in the dungeon. The silence is unnatural, and the calm before the storm makes her anxious.
A rustling sound came from the opposite cell. Na Yue suppressed her emotions and looked up at the opposite cell.
He grinned and said, "You're not dead yet."
The person opposite him scoffed, "The divination says, you die, but I won't die either."
"Tch." Na Yue curled her lip.
There was no response from the other end, followed by a series of rustling and light tapping sounds. Hearing the familiar voice, Na Yue silently rolled her eyes. That so-called demonic high priest was prying into the so-called secrets of heaven again.
With a soft "ding," the divination ended. The next second, Du Hui couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "The divination says we'll be able to leave soon!"
In the dim light, he jumped to his feet, his expression one of barely concealed excitement. "Hahahaha, wait until I get out, wait until I get out..." He paused, his face contorted with rage, and roared, "I'll fucking tear your demon palace apart!!!"
The sound was deafening, filled with anger.
Na Yue didn't even lift her eyelids, silently counting one, two, three. Just as she finished counting, the dungeon guards arrived at Du Hui's cell.
"What are you yelling about! If you yell again, I'll skin you alive!"
The guards were used to his occasional erratic behavior, but it was still very annoying!
He irritably banged on Du Hui's cell door with the iron bar in his hand as a threat.
Upon seeing this, Du Hui, that coward, immediately shrank back into the corner, only daring to glare at the other person with her eyes.
"Ha, you're crazy!" The guard scoffed, too lazy to bother him anymore.
Seeing him leave without looking back, Du Hui immediately perked up again, muttering to herself, "Going out, going out."
Na Yue rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. The disheveled man opposite her, whose appearance was unclear, claimed to be a demon wizard. She didn't know what he had done wrong to be locked up in this dark and sunless dungeon. His mind had become unstable. Every time he woke up, he would cast a divination, and no matter what the result was, he would shout it out until the guards came and beat him up before he would calm down.
However, he has recently become smarter and knows to stop confronting the guards directly, instead obediently crouching in the corner to avoid being beaten.
Normally, Nayue would definitely make fun of her, but recently she was too weak and had no energy.
She struggled to sit up, looked across at the other side, and said in a hoarse voice, "Hey, you madman."
The madman suddenly stopped and looked at her expectantly, "What?"
Na Yue curled her lips and said rudely, word by word, "So noisy."
Du Hui blinked innocently, and seeing that she had no other reaction, she repeated nervously, "We're going out."
Nayue: ......
Don't argue with a lunatic.
Na Yue was still too weak and slowly drifted off to sleep amidst Du Hui's murmurs.
When she woke up again, in the dim light, she met a pair of clear, indifferent golden eyes.
They are gods.
Her mouth was dry, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "You've finally come."
Zhao Zhao's eyes clearly reflected the goddess's miserable state. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "I'm late, I'm sorry."
He bent down, carefully avoiding touching her wounds, and gently lifted her up.
Na Yue smiled gently, a rare occurrence on her face. She said, "The demons have been behaving strangely lately, it seems like a trap. Be very careful."
Zhao Zhao nodded; he had already made thorough preparations before coming here.
The system only provided a general plot, without detailing the specifics of the rescue operation. It could only roughly deduce the dangers involved. However, his purpose in coming here was to prevent the same scenario from repeating itself.
Every divine child and goddess who comes here today must return safely.
