Chapter 378 Another World
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Xiao Bing’s heart almost sprang right out of his chest as he fell. He closed his eyes. He felt as if he had been falling for a century. But suddenly he was surrounded by water. He was alive!
It was not until now that Xiao Bing discovered there was a lake beneath, which was why Xiao Bing survived. But normal people would have been scared to death and would have drowned, if they did not know how to swim.
Xiao Bing did not know how far he had sunk in this lake, since the gravity sucked him in so strongly. When he opened his eyes, he saw a beam of light. There seemed to be a hole on the surface. He was floating towards it, but then below, there was a vortex dragging him down. Xiao Bing could turn away from it. But he somehow knew that behind that light, there was another world, which might be the home mentioned by those two people. And perhaps it had something to do with Feng XIII.
The vortex pulled Xiao Bing in. After he floated across the hole, the buoyancy sent him to the surface.
When Xiao Bing bobbed to the surface, he inhaled the air, greedily. He was wet from head to toe, but he felt elated as he had survived the fall. Then he cast a sweeping glance at this place. It was not as beautiful as he had imagined. Instead, it looked like hell. The hole in the water seemed to be the door between the human world and hell.
Xiao Bing did not think too much, because it was luck that enabled him to survive. The dangerous environment here stimulated Xiao Bing’s desire for adventure. It was not only his talent that made him reach the level of Void-breaking. He had a restless heart. The potential danger here made him more curious about this strange place.
Xiao Bing managed to swim ashore, and found there were trees, bushes, streams, flowers and many cabins. Some cabins were built on hills and some on plain ground. Xiao Bing felt as if he was in the ancient Cathaysian State.
The moment Xiao Bing came onto the land, a white hand pressed against his shoulder. “Did I frighten you? I knew you would not die.”
Xiao Bing cried out and scrambled away. He looked at the speaker in surprise. It was the woman who had pushed him over the cliff.
Actually Xiao Bing knew that this woman was approaching, but he pretended that he was not aware of her presence. But he was sure that there was not only one portal to this hidden world. Since this woman’s clothes were not wet, this meant that she came through another way.
Besides, this place was surrounded by high mountains, which made it difficult for Xiao Bing to climb, let alone anyone else.
The square-faced man appeared and said coldly, “Since you brought him here, let’s give him to the Snake King. Otherwise you will be punished, if others tell him about it.”
“No.” The sexy beauty glared and warned him, “No one will know about this, if you don’t tell.”
She licked her lips again as she spoke. Xiao Bing noticed that the tip of her crimson tongue was forked like that of a snake.
She grabbed him by the arm and chuckled, “Let’s go. If we stay here any longer, we might be found out. That will be a problem for us.”
“Where are you taking me?”
The beauty pressed her slim fingers against Xiao Bing’s lips. He found them smooth and a little bit cold. “Don’t speak. The residents here are very bad. They take humans as tonics, especially for someone who’s so delicious like you… Follow me and I will take good care of you.”
Before Xiao Bing could speak, she began running, while dragging Xiao Bing along. They met several pedestrians along the way. This place was lush, filled with trees, bushes and slopes. But she seemed to be very familiar with the environment. They kept running until they came to a cabin on a slope. Then she jumped toward it, while pulling Xiao Bing along with her. She pushed the door and entered the cabin.
The cabin was simply decorated, but very neat. There was a wooden bed, a dressing table, a basin and towels. But there was only a comb and mirror on the dressing table. The beauty pointed at it and smiled, “We don’t make these things here. So we buy them from the world outside, including ingredients like oil and salt.
Xiao Bing was surprised by what she just said, “This place is…”
Xiao Bing suddenly did not know what to ask.
The woman grinned, “I know what you want to ask. This is a world apart from yours. The people who live here are not allowed to go out, and they are unable to leave this place.”
Xiao Bing shook his head, “I still don’t understand.”
“You don’t need to understand. You just need to be aware that you are one of us now. You must not leave this cabin. If the others spot you, I’m not sure if I can protect you.”
Xiao Bing frowned, “I can stay here for the rest of my life?”
“It’s totally up to you. If you leave and get caught, they will give you away as tonics. The ceremony is about to begin.”
“What ceremony?”
“You shouldn’t ask about things you’re not supposed to know. I won’t tell you.” Grinning, the beauty pinched Xiao Bing’s jaw and said in a bewitching voice, “All you need to do here is to please me. If you do it well, I will not give you away. Otherwise I can’t assure your safety. When the ceremony is over and there won’t be any need of any more tonics, perhaps I will plead for your life, if you can stay out of trouble and make me happy.”
Xiao Bing stared at her and asked, “What do I have to do to make you happy?”
The beauty chuckled as she met Xiao Bing’s eyes, “You know what? You might be the boldest man who has ever come here.
Xiao Bing felt his vanity was greatly gratified when he was complimented by a woman, especially when she was extremely beautiful.
Xiao Bing cast a glance outside and asked, “Are my teammates also imprisoned here?”
“Yes. But they are not as lucky as you.”
“They are all regarded as tonics?” Xiao Bing asked, frowning.
“They… You don’t need to know about that. Don’t forget that you’re my prisoner now.”
Xiao Bing inhaled deeply. The current situation was still not clear. When he was in Jingdong, his enemies were the ones in the dark, but now the situation had reversed.
Xiao Bing had done an overall research on the situation in Jingdong, and sneaked in with a fake ID. So back then, his enemies barely knew him while he knew a lot about them.
But now he hardly knew anything about this place. So he decided not to be impulsive, otherwise, Xiao Bing could easily subdue this woman. But Xiao Bing was being prudent now. He would not do anything without thinking about the consequences.
Suddenly there was some shouting outside the door, “Red Rose, are you there? You have being asked to attend a meeting.”
“Damn.” The woman muttered a curse, as she frowned.
Xiao Bing looked at her and asked, “Your name is Red Rose?”
“Yes.” The beauty looked around and fixed her eyes on Xiao Bing, “I’m going to the meeting. Don’t go anywhere. Wait… I’m still worried. I have to do this to you.”
Then she tapped Xiao Bing’s shoulder. A second later Xiao Bing fell to the ground. She put him on the bed and left the cabin.
“I just came back and you are asking me to attend a meeting. What is it that is so urgent that you need to bother me?”
“The day of the ceremony is fast approaching. Surely there must be many things that need to be discussed.”
“Fine!”
Xiao Bing’s eyes snapped open as the footfalls got faint.
