Chapter 71: The Dungeon
She had originally wanted to rescue the person alone. Her junior brother’s presence would only be a hindrance. But thinking about it, if her junior brother could witness her deeds and see how capable she was, she would surely capture his heart. Then, marrying him in the future would save her a lot of trouble.
Yes, because of Su Yan’s good deed, plus her observations over the past few days, Ling Ling had discovered that Su Yan didn’t seem to be that much of a “green tea.” It seemed she had misunderstood him.
After all, the Su Yan in her memory did not have such powerful strength. This was solid evidence, enough to prove that the memory was not entirely accurate and that there were some inaccuracies.
“I knew it. Junior Brother is pure, kind, and virtuous. How could he possibly be that kind of promiscuous man?”
Ling Ling was pleasantly surprised and wanted to make up for her previous actions.
“Since Senior Sister has said so, let’s act together.”
Su Yan turned to look at Tang Wan’er and said, “You just stay here and wait for us to come back.”
“How can I do that!”
Tang Wan’er shook her head and refused. This was her business. To let her benefactor risk his life for her was simply too shameless.
“If it’s only you two taking the risk, then I’d rather not save my senior brother!”
As she said this, Tang Wan’er felt a little guilty. She didn’t know if her senior brother would rush over and beat her up if he heard this.
“Don’t be so stubborn. You haven’t recovered from your serious injuries, and your body is not in a good condition. We’ll go. You stay here.”
“I…”
Tang Wan’er wanted to say more but was interrupted by Ling Ling with a wave of her hand.
“You’ll only be a burden if you come with us. Do you understand?”
Ling Ling was not as gentle as Su Yan. Her words were merciless.
Hearing this, Tang Wan’er’s face flushed red, but she couldn’t refute it. She could only cheer for the two of them in humiliation.
…
Night fell. Su Yan and Ling Ling set out under the cover of darkness. Tang Wan’er opened the window and looked at the deep night, hoping they would succeed.
“They definitely will. As a Golden Core cultivator, Sister Ling will have no problem fighting her way in and out. What do I have to worry about?”
It’s just…
Tang Wan’er’s thoughts drifted.
“It’s because of my insistence that my benefactor set out to save him. If I had done this earlier, would my senior brother not have had to suffer?”
Thinking that her senior brother might have been ravaged by lecherous women every day for the past few days, getting no rest, Tang Wan’er felt a sharp pain in her heart. She believed it was her fault that he had to endure this suffering.
“No, how can I think like that!”
Tang Wan’er quickly shook her head. Saving him was her business. How could she place her hopes on others? The suffering her senior brother endured was her own fault. It was only right that others didn’t save him.
“I guess so…”
Tang Wan’er’s eyes drifted.
…
Because it was a remote location, the Joyful Union Sect had no branch in the city. These female cultivators had occupied a courtyard as a temporary base.
Su Yan and Ling Ling saw that it was already late, deep into the night, and immediately began their operation.
“Stay close to me,” Ling Ling turned her head and instructed.
These Joyful Union Sect female cultivators were not strong. She would have no problem on her own, but with her junior brother, she had to be extremely careful.
Su Yan nodded and followed closely behind Ling Ling. The two of them, under the cover of night, easily slipped into the courtyard.
Thanks to Ling Ling’s powerful divine sense, they did not encounter any danger along the way.
“Where are we going?” Su Yan asked in a low voice. Although he knew that Tang Wan’er’s senior brother was here, he was not familiar with the place and didn’t know where he was being held.
“Let’s look around,” Ling Ling said softly.
The two of them searched carefully in the night, checking room after room. They saw many Joyful Union Sect female cultivators, but there was no sign of a man.
“Where did they hide him?” Su Yan was extremely puzzled.
Ling Ling chimed in, “Could there be a dungeon here?”
Reminded by this, Su Yan’s gaze couldn’t help but begin to scan the area, paying attention to the surrounding traces. Finally, he found something unusual in a room.
“There’s someone guarding here,” Su Yan said in a low voice.
Ling Ling also saw the Joyful Union Sect female cultivator on guard. She gently moved her hand, and a blue spiritual light flashed. The female cultivator fell limply to the ground.
“Let’s go in.”
Ling Ling led the charge, found a hidden door, and as soon as they entered the torch-lit passage, they heard a cry.
“Shameless! Let me go!”
“Haha, go on and scream! No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat raw!”
“You beast!”
“Hehe, little beauty, you’d better be obedient. Otherwise, I won’t be so gentle with you. You should know what that tastes like.”
Su Yan was stunned for a moment. Did all villains say this line? As he was wondering, the system’s options suddenly appeared.
[Option 1: Turn and leave, acting as if nothing happened. (Reward for completion: Cat Tail Grass)]
[Option 2: Justice is calling! Jump out and save the person. (Reward for completion: Low-grade spiritual weapon, the Seven Profound Sword)]
Cat Tail Grass was a low-grade herb that grew everywhere and had no value. A low-grade spiritual weapon was different; it was an extremely precious treasure.
“The mission reward is so generous. Doesn’t that just mean it’s dangerous? Why would I jump out? To get caught?”
Su Yan didn’t even have to think before he made his choice.
“I’m not choosing anything.”
Ignoring the system’s prompt, Su Yan glanced at Ling Ling, wanting to remind her not to be impulsive, but she was clearly very experienced.
Ling Ling lowered her voice and said softly, “Don’t be impulsive, Junior Brother. On the surface, there’s nothing unusual here, but it’s actually full of traps. Plus, the person inside is not weak, already at the early Golden Core stage. If we act rashly, we’ll be in a very disadvantageous situation.”
Su Yan nodded in understanding. This was their territory. Even if his senior sister was powerful, she would be restricted everywhere. He would listen to his senior sister.
Ling Ling said in a low voice, “There’s an alarm formation here. Watch me disable it.”
With that, Ling Ling’s hands began to move.
Su Yan looked at the scribbles before him. He couldn’t understand them, so he simply paid attention to the movements around him.
The original intention of this action was to observe the enemy, but…
“Mmm, ah, don’t do that… not there…”
“Hehe, the little beauty is shy. I just like the way you blush. We’ve already done it so many times, yet you’re still not open… slurp, slurp…”
“Sob, sob, sob…”
An indescribable sound was heard. Su Yan’s face turned red as he listened. An image flashed in his mind.
A young man with the air of a little uke was pressed underneath. A woman’s fingers slid nimbly, undoing his pants, and then her body slowly moved down…
“Junior Brother, what’s wrong with your face? It looks so red.”
“I-is it!”
Su Yan rubbed his face, his eyes darting around.
Ling Ling didn’t pay it any mind. Her brows were tightly furrowed. “I didn’t expect there to be a formation master here. I underestimated the complexity of the formation. Although I’ve disabled the alarm formation, the next formation seems to require a specific spiritual energy frequency, which is the entry password.”
