Chapter 478: Chapter 339: Conspiracy
Over the past month, the food given by the elves was mostly dry and hard stead buns with lted snow water. However, today, there were so fruits, and the water was replaced with rather palatable fruit wine. (Elves are vegetarians; they do not eat demon beast or wild beast at, so fruits are their main food, supplented by so staple foods.)
"It’s the Elf Queen’s birthday, and they celebrate for three consecutive days. Every year at this ti, it’s always like this," Ye Xia, having been a veteran for ten years, was quite familiar with so of the elves’ routine activities.
While speaking, the Masked Female Prisoner had already taken her own food and wine, and Ye Xia also took hers, even enjoying a big sip of the Elf Fruit Wine.
Elves are the race that first learned brewing techniques since written records began, so even the fruit wine given to prisoners tastes very good.
"What kind of activities will there be for the Queen’s birthday?" Yun Sheng asked quite casually.
"The food will be richer, and on the day of the Queen’s birthday, the elves will bathe and pray. During that ti, there are hardly any people in the Ice Prison," Ye Xia said, glancing at Yun Sheng thoughtfully as she spoke.
Yun Sheng just smiled and did not show any further reaction.
Boring. Ye Xia thought there might be so action from her, and couldn’t help feeling deflated when she saw that Yun Sheng remained indifferent.
During this ti, Ye Xia’s fighting spirit had also recovered sowhat.
She had also quietly asked several companions, and their situations were similar.
Yun Sheng’s situation should be similar, and these few days, she even began to ditate, and her ditation ti was much longer than that of other mages.
Ye Xia did not know what level of mage Yun Sheng was, but judging from her ditation, her strength was definitely not weak.
If there was anyone in the entire prison who remained as calm as before, it was probably the Masked Female Prisoner.
During this period, the Masked Female Prisoner neither ditated nor sat in contemplation. At most, when Yun Sheng played the zither, she would listen quietly by her side.
In fact, during the ti they spent with her, Ye Xia and the others could not discern whether she was a martial artist or a mage, or perhaps even both.
This woman was altogether too mysterious.
When she went berserk, she was like a killing machine, but when she was quiet, she was as serene as a painting.
The more she was like this, the more the people in the Female Prison were wary of her. Only Yun Sheng would interact with her openly.
After eating so food, Yun Sheng, as usual, entered into a state of ditation, and this ti, she successfully entered into deep ditation, which ant that Yun Sheng’s magic abilities must have recovered at least fifty percent, and the effects of the Sealing Demon Arrow on her were gradually vanishing.
Just inconveniently, today happened to be the Masked Female Prisoner’s punishnt day, which seed to have no change despite the arrival of the Queen’s birthday.
Xuan ii, taking advantage of Yun Sheng’s deep ditation and her inability to pay attention to the outside world, sneaked up to Ye Xia and others, "I know you want to escape from prison, I want to join you. I can help you, but the condition is that you help
snatch away the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither from Yun Sheng’s hands."
Xuan ii had long coveted that Ice Zither of Yun Sheng.
Though she also possesses a valuable Colorful Zither, in terms of tone and appearance, it’s not even close to being in the sa league as the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither.
Under the effect of Emperor’s Song, the magic power within Xuan ii had recovered by thirty to forty percent, and she believed that as long as she could get her hands on Yun Sheng’s zither, she would surely be able to escape from Ice Waterfall City.
Moreover, if Emperor’s Song were to be played with the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither, it would undoubtedly have unexpected effects. Perhaps with that zither, in the future, she and Brother Bu Po could enter the Emperor’s Tomb together.
"Why should I believe you? You’re in league with her," Ye Xia sneered upon seeing Xuan ii, having no fondness for Yun Sheng and not much liking for Xuan ii either.
"In league? I wish nothing more than her death. I have absolutely no relation with her. If you agree to my terms, after leaving Xianju Country, my father will surely reward you handsoly. I am the daughter of the Emperor Hong City Lord," Xuan ii declared her identity.
The daughter of the Emperor Hong City Lord?
The female prisoners present, though many had been locked up for good years, so even for as long as a decade, had all heard of the prestige of Dihong City.
Who would have thought Xuan ii was the young miss of Dihong City?
In the past, even if these inmates confined in the prison cells t the Emperor Hong City Lord, it wouldn’t matter to them.
Because they always believed that once they were locked up in Ice Waterfall City, it ant they would never be able to leave for the rest of their lives.
No matter how powerful Dihong City was, it could not possibly attack into Xianju Country, nor take down Ice Waterfall City.
But now things were different. The cultivation of the female prisoners had recovered sowhat due to the zither music played by Yun Sheng, and with the Queen’s birthday celebration causing the city’s defenses to loosen, the chances of escaping had greatly increased. If a collective prison break were to occur at this ti...
They just had to wait until the next day when the Elf Guards brought in food, and then everyone could rush out together—there would be a chance to escape.
Ye Xia didn’t imdiately believe Xuan ii. To be the boss in the Female Prison, she too had to be quite clever.
She had offended Xuan ii before and could tell that this woman had a harsh appearance and was not a kind soul.
"Who said I want to leave? I’ve committed many cases of murder, and even if I got out, it doesn’t an it would be better than staying in Ice Waterfall City. The continent has long been devoid of a place for ," Even though ten years had passed, Ye Xia’s enemies from those years might not let her off the hook.
"What’s so difficult about that? Even if other places won’t take you in, as long as you help
get the zither, I assure you Dihong City can shelter you. I can tell my father that you’re my lifesaver. By then, you’ll belong to Dihong City; what is there to fear about old enemies," Xuan ii tempted her.
Xuan ii thought to herself, this damned old hag, she does have so brains, but do you really think I would treat you kindly? Once I escape from Ice Waterfall City, just watch how I will deal with you properly. I’ll make you my servant for life, toiling and suffering under .
Listening to this, Ye Xia felt sowhat tempted. She cast another wary glance at Yun Sheng, who was still in deep ditation, and at the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither beside her.
What Ye Xia dreaded the most was the Masked Female Prisoner accompanying Yun Sheng.
Although the Masked Female Prisoner was cold to everyone, it was undeniable that she treated Yun Sheng very specially. If those two joined forces, Ye Xia wouldn’t stand much of a chance.
"What are you hesitating for? Tomorrow is certainly the best opportunity for a prison break. Yun Sheng’s Emperor’s Song was stolen from our Dihong City. She’s only learned it for a few days and can’t possibly compare to . Plus, that Masked Female Prisoner, she was dragged out for whip punishnt again today. She must be severely injured upon her return. This is truly an opportunity that cos once in a thousand years," Xuan ii did not wish to wait for another Queen’s birthday.
